Nigerian Nurse's Licence Withdrawn In UK For Calling on Jesus For Help

 

A 51 year old Nigerian-born UK resident nurse, Omolayo Abayomi, has had her Nurse's licence withdrawn by the UK Nursing and Midwifery Council for throwing her hands into the air and begging for Jesus to help, as a baby she was supposed to be taking care of suffered a heart attack.

According to Daily Mail UK, Omolayo Abayomi 'panicked' when the child, who suffered from a chronic lung disease, turned blue and stopped breathing in his cot at home. The nurse called for divine intervention more than 20 times before the vulnerable boy's mother told her to 'shut up'.

The nurse was constantly saying "Jesus help him" and waving her arms around,' a hearing was told.

Mr Ojo was coming from his Nancy suites when he ran into the VP's convoy. He was detained at the VP's lounge in Aso Villa, yesterday but has since been released.

'Sandfilled Plastic Bottle Houses'. Is this the way forward?

 

19-year old local mason, Yahaya Musa, inspects a wall of stacks of sand-filled plastic bottles in Sabongarin Yelwa village, near city of Kaduna on November 2, 2011. A local NGO Development Association for Renewable Energy (DARE) came up with the idea of 'plastic bottle house' which its inventors believe could solve Nigeria's 16 million housing units deficits and clean the badly populated environment by taking off the street, the over 3 million plastic water bottle waste the country generates everyday and putting them into housing.

NFF Appoints Stephen Keshi new Super Eagles coach, Siasia to sue

 What we need now is a coach that will take us from being Super Chickens to being Super Eagles again...lol. Just playing.

NFF yesterday appointed Stephen Keshi to replace Samson Siasia as the new Super Eagles Coach. And Siasia plans to sue the NFF for breach of contract and unpaid salaries. But knowing how slow our legal system is, Siasia will probably still be in court till we fail to qualify for the next Nations Cup.

What do you think of Keshi as the new Eagles coach? You think he will deliver?

Homosexuals storm Senate, defend same sex marriage

A group of homosexuals two days ago stormed the Senate to defend same sex marriage.

One of the protagonists, Dr. Otibho Obiowu, argued that criminalizing same sex marriage would make many young men and women refugees in their fatherland, adding that many Nigerians migrated abroad due to lack of enabling legislation to protect their belief in same sex marriage.

“Due to lack of enabling law that would protect gays, lesbians and bisexuals, many of these people are living pretentious lives. Criminalizing same sex marriage makes us refugees, it forces us to seek asylum in other countries. This also affects our beloved country as emigration causes brain drain.

I've always said everyone's sexual preference is their business and I have nothing against gay people but there's definitely a limit. They can do themselves behind close doors, or date openly, that's their business, but MARRIAGE? No way in hell should that be allowed in this country. But why are they even debating this? This is a third world country with bigger problems, don't they have other pressing issues to talk about? This is a non issue abeg! Continue to read more...
