EBOLA SCARE: Bathing with salt and Water....CHEI! WHAT A RUMOUR!

I think it should be added that Nigeria is a country blessed with so many mineral resources including rumour formations. This is a country where people are so attracted to rumours than the real truth.

It is being rumoured in many quarters currently that bathing with salt and not soap will prevent someone from contacting Ebola virus. Also some went further to say that the virus will be released in the air today therefore bathing with salt will help someone not to contact it. LOL! my question is, released by who? and where did the fellow get the virus in gaseous form and even in such amount to be released? Nawa oo! my lecturer always says "Every fool..." Inserting the phrase, I'd say, Every fool should know that Ebola is not airborne.

The day we will develop the habit of reading to be informed, all this nonsense will stop. Anyone who had understood the nature of this virus will know that:

1) Salt cannot and will never act as a protective film. if one bathes with salt now, what happens in the next few hours when the body dries up. 

2) If salt is a protective film, why is it that one can still contact it with body sweat contact since sweat is salty. 

Ebola is contacted via body contact with those who has it. So to be safe, maintain a good hygiene by always watching your hands and desist from touching anyone who develops sickness of any kind especially one with fever symptoms until the sickness is diagnosed. If you must touch the person, please wear hand gloves 

Nigerians make we de get sense abeg...."My people perish because of lack of knowledge"

Birthday: Nedez Celebrates!

Today marks another yearly beginning of my life. Looking back the previous years that brought me here, how I was born and the circumstances surrounding my birth, I can only be filled with mouthful of praise which yet is not enough for my Creator. He has been awesome and wonderful to me, gracious, merciful, and so generous to me. I'm not the best guy, neither am I perfect, yet he showers His blessings of life, health, progress and wisdom to me. I can talk all I want, sing to the last drop of my strength, and write till the internet shuts down in Praise but yet, it won't be enough to compare to what my Master doeth for me. Well He is Jehova Jireh, Jehova Shamah, El Shaddai, Elohim, the Everlasting King, Mighty God, The prince of Peace, I am that I am....

I therefore ask that you join me to praise Him let's see if we can measure up with the praises He needs though I know for sure that no praise is enough for Him.

Also, I wouldn't forget you wonderful friends who's message have been pouring in since last midnight, via Facebook, Twitter, BBM, whatsapp, and also my direct Cellphone. I thankyou all and I celebrate and appreciate you guys. Thanks a lot and May my Master bless and keep you with His light of Countenance shining upon you doing unto you even much greater than you wish me.

'Ebola Virus' What you should Know about it

Doctors Without Borders staff members carry the body of a person killed by Ebola

I was actually surprised yesterday when a cute young handsome guy asked me what an Ebola Virus Disease is, saying he has never heard of that before. I really was surprised because it baffled me that a young guy in this present dispensation with all the tech (at least a Smartphone) in his hands has not heard or mistakenly come across the news of this deadly virus that has been ravaging West African countries for months now. Read More

FG Imposes 2% Tax On Phones, Computers, Others

The Federal Government has concluded arrangements to impose a two per cent tax on the values of mobile phones, computers, software, cameras, photocopiers, printing machines and CD players manufactured in the country or imported.

The order for the tax to be known as the Copyright Levy has already been gazetted by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation and the modalities for its implementation are being negotiated with the Nigeria Customs Service.

The Director-General, Nigeria Copyright Commission, Mr. Afam Ezekude, said this at a press conference on the achievements of the agency in Abuja on Thursday.

Ezekude, who was represented by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Mr. Aderemi Adewusi, said the new levy would be on a broad range of products capable of being used to infringe on the copyright of products and services, including computers, mobile phones and printing machines.

Generally, the levy will apply to such products whether they are imported into the country or they are manufactured within the shores of the nation.

The NCC boss said, “The Copyright Levy on Materials Order 2012 received the necessary approval from the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, SAN.

“The levy order is applicable to all imported materials used or capable of being used to infringe copyright in a work, both imported and manufactured in the country, and it is designed to compensate the right owners for the envisaged infringement.

“It is one of the commission’s ways of generating income for the government, stakeholders and the commission. This was done after due consultation with stakeholders who have expressed satisfaction and appreciation over the levy order.”

Ezekude also said the agency destroyed by public burning, 722 million units of various copyright infringing products impounded between 2007 and 2011. The estimated value of the destroyed products was put at N6.5bn.

According to him, the value represents income that would have been diverted from legitimate rights owners as well as taxable income and revenue that would have been lost by the Federal Government.

The disposition of the offending materials, he added, showed the commission’s commitment to transparency in the discharge of its mandate and its determination to ensure that the offending products did not get back into circulation.

He also said the commission arrested 351 suspected pirates and secured 46 convictions between 2011 and January 2014 as against the 10 convictions recorded between 2000 and 2010.

Ezekude said, “For pirates and other copyright infringers, it is no longer business as usual. The pressure is being felt in all major hubs of piracy across all the geopolitical zones, and the impunity with which piracy and acts of infringement are being carried out is being curbed.

“The good enforcement regime is attracting more investments in the copyright-based industries. There is an increasingly favourable perception of Nigeria in the global fight against piracy. Consequently, Nigeria has been off the United States’ annually published list of copyright organisations and governments.”

He said the agency had also embarked on the reform of the copyright system with the aim of updating and upgrading the Nigerian Copyright Act to facilitate new innovations and models of access to knowledge, and to encourage and reward new forms of creativity.
