EBOLA: President Obama Speaks To Nigeria And Other Affected West African Countries.
Hello.I want to take a few moments to speak directly to you the people of west Africa,especially in Liberia,Sierra Leone,Guinea and Nigeria. On behalf of the American people, I want you to know that our prayers are with those of you who have lost loved ones during this terrible outbreak of Ebola. Along with our partners around the world, the United States is working with your governments to help stop this disease. And the first step in this fight is knowing the facts.
First, Ebola is not spread through the air like the flu. You cannot get it from casual contacts,like sitting next to someone in a bus. You cannot get it from another person until they show the symptoms of the diesease,like fever.
Second,the most common way to get Ebola is by touching the body fluids of someone whos sick or has died from it like their sweats,saliva or blood. Or through contaminated item, like needle. Thats why the diesease is continuing to spread where patients are being cared for at home or during burials when families and friends lay loved one to rest. Thats why health care workers wear protection like gloves and masks. Its why, if you feel sick with high fever you should get help right away because with prompt treatment in a medical centre,nearly half of patients can recover.And its why when burying someone who died from the diesease,its important to not directly touch their body,you can respect your tradition and honour your loved ones without risking the lives of the living.
Stopping this disease wont be easy but we know how to do it. You are not alone. Together, we can treat those who are sick with respect and dignity. We can save lives. And our countries can work together to improve public health,so this kind of outbreak doesnt happen again. In this urgent work,and in building a stronger and more prosperous Africa, youll continue to have a patner in me and in the United States of America.

Why Is The Seat Of Super Eagles Head Coach Still Vacant?
Following the Nigeria national team's crash in the round of 16 in the past FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the seat of the men's national team coach became vacant. The contract of the team's head coach to the last nations cup and world cup Stephen Keshi expired with BRAZIL 2014.
With the brouhaha of ban between the Nigerian Football Federation and FIFA over, and the nations cup qualifiers fast at hand, Nigerian football administration has not made any move to fill the gap created by the expiration of Coach Stephen Keshi's contract or hold talks with Keshi to renew his contract. Keshi made it clear shortly after the world cup that he wanted to continue with the Eagles job but NFF has not contacted him for talks.
The question is what is NFF waiting for before filling this vacancy? Are the administrators waiting for the last minute to hire one that will deal a dirty blow on Nigeria's football again?
Let us know what you think.

Let me go a bit spiritual with you here, the bible says can two work together if they do not agree?
"So there should be some form of agreement. You guys should have this certain joint that kind of links you up together and if to an extent it's not there, and one feels there is a need for you to like maybe move on, let's be matured about this, let things go in a very calm and subtle manner. So that's basically it."

Samuel Eto'o Set To Quit Chelsea Over Age Row With Mourinho.
Chelsea Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o is set to quit his Stamford Bridge side at the end of this season.
The reason for the striker's decision according to sports analysts, was because of his dissatisfaction about Chelsea's manager Jose Mourinho's claims that the player may be far older than the 32 year he claimed.
Two months ago, a French television aired the Portuguese manager's private discussion with a friend. In the discussion, Mourinho told the friend that he had a team but no striker and went ahead to say that Eto'o was 32 or even 35.
In the hullabaloo that ensued in the media especially, the player's ex girlfriend added salt to injury by telling the world that the player was 39.
Since then, Samuel Eto'o has not been happy with his stay at Stamford Bridge little wonder he had to perform the old man as he celebrated his goal in the game against Tottenham Hotspurs. To make matters worse, Mourinho casted him to the bench in the next game.
His next destination in not quite clear but Spanish side Real Mallorca has shown interest once again in his services.
