A South Carolina man furious that his ex-girlfriend went to the beach with another man fatally shot her and her two daughters before turning the gun on himself, authorities said.

Gabriel Jordan, 37, committed the carnage on Sunday outside the St. Matthews home of his ex, Shanta Singleton, according to a police report obtained by the Times and Democrat of Orangeburg.

Cops said Jordan initially choked Singleton before shooting her when one of her four daughters at the home tried to intervene.

Jordan then shot 12-year-old Tre’vay Stroman after she jumped on his back, Calhoun County deputies said.

He next took aim at 18-year-old Shantasia Stroman, who was struck in the arm and escaped to a neighbor’s.

As Stroman ran away, she saw Jordan chasing her 15-year-old sister, Essence Stroman, into their house. Essence was later found dead, according to the report.

Jordan’s body was found with a pistol next to him, deputies said.

One of two surviving children told investigators that Jordan followed her mom and another man home from Myrtle Beach.

The daughter said Jordan snapped after Singleton told him their on-again-off-again relationship was finished.

A Twitter user has claimed that a baby whose parents wore facemask while trying to prevent coronavirus died.

A social media user has shocked her followers after claiming that a year old baby died after wearing facemask.

The Twitter, user @The_Ronkee has questioned parents for wearing babies facemask.

Many users were left in shock by the claim, as they questioned why someone would wear a mask for a baby.

People have been warned against wearing a face mask for a baby. Both the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advise against mask-wearing in individuals under age two years.

If a mask is too tight, an infant or toddler may not be able to vocalize breathing difficulties.

If an infant falls asleep while wearing a mask, they can, indeed, suffocate in a manner very similar to what happens to a baby suffering from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.

US President Donald Trump has revealed that he is taking anti-malaria drugs, hydroxychloroquine for weeks now.

Trump made the surprising revelation during his White House COVID-19 daily press briefing on Monday.

US medical experts had warned that the anti-malaria drug is not suitable for fighting the novel coronavirus.

Trump, who noted that he has tested negative for COVID-19 and shows no symptoms of the virus said he had been taking the drug “for about a week and a half.”

He said,

“I take a pill every day,” adding that he also takes zinc as a preventative measure.

Pressed further on his reason for taking the drugs, he said “because I think it’s good. I’ve heard a lot of good stories.”

Trump has often played down the dangers of coronavirus, including last week when he said it threatened only a small number of people.

He has also pointedly refused to wear a mask, despite federal recommendations and the fact that most of his staff have taken to covering their faces in public.

By contrast, he has shown interest for weeks in promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine.

Trump’s extensive remarks about his use of hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure came out of the blue.

“You’d be surprised at how many people are taking it, especially the front-line workers before you catch it.

“The front-line workers — many, many are taking it. I happen to be taking it, I happen to be taking it,” Trump said.

“I’m taking it, hydroxychloroquine, right now, yeah. A couple of weeks ago, I started taking it,” he added.

Trump said the use of the medicine was approved by the White House physician.

However, he insisted that he, not the doctor, took the first step.

“I asked him, what do you think? He said if you’d like it. I said yeah, I’d like it.”

“It seems to have an impact, and maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t but if it doesn’t, you’re not going to get sick or die,” Trump said. “I take a pill every day. At some point I’ll stop.”

Why Trump is taking the disputed remedy when he frequently insists he is in no danger from COVID-19, is not clear.

Some people in the White House have tested positive for the virus. But Trump said again Monday he showed “zero symptoms.”

“Every couple days they want to test me, you know, for obvious reasons. I mean I am the president, so they want to test me.

“I don’t want to be tested but they want to test me,” he said. “I’ve shown always negative,” he added.

So someone will just get to hustle over the years with you and the next moment, you bring another girl into the picture....
Its very painful and I understand her plight.... If you've never been in that mess, you may not really feel her pain.
However, I condemn her actions.... She actually went to the extreme. Because she may even lose the man forever but there are measures she would have taken and still get her man back

Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi state strikes again.

"NCDC is marketing # CoronaVirus and destroying our Lives.

Enough of this # Covid -19 Nonsense. 386 new cases? We have played fool enough!!!
And you have discharged 679... What did you give to this ones you discharged?
# Covid -19 is a war, and in times of war you get everyone prepared. Tell Nigerians what this ones discharged took and let everyone take it and be safe.
Is Corona more deadlier than Tuberculosis, Sars, Pneumonia, Aids?
Early detection saves the life; tell people how to boost their immune system and stop creating marchants out of Corona.
People are dying everyday for more serious ailments because they can't access hospitals. People have diabetes, kidney issues, liver issues, heart diseases, cancer, BP, labour complications, Hiv, Brain issues, Lung disease, etc, some need to go to other states to access hospital services... They are dying in numbers and no one is counting them because you are counting Corona.

We were told the symptoms of Corona are cough, catarh, difficulty in breathing, and the mortality rate is very minimal which we have seen in the results NCDC have been releasing.
These symptoms things people have been suffering from and we have been managing them well here in hospitals here in Nigeria, we have seen people with difficulties in breathing and they were treated.

Why are we marketing Corona in Nigeria?
Why are we harming ourselves intentionally?
Creating fears, hardship and tension on innocent citizens.
You promised 40,000 testing in 1 month, and this is almost 2months and you haven't tested 20,000
3000+ active cases and 679 discharged, which confirms mortality is less than 6%. Why then do you want to kill the entire country with fears.
Do you know how people struggle to survive in this country? Do you know the more hardship you are forcing on people by marketing Corona?

Now we will be forced to open our borders for importation of rice, can foods and all sorts of junks again cos we will be running out of food soon , at a time we were almost food sufficient.
Enough of this politics that NCDC is playing with our Lives

This is the second month we Shutdown our offices with no means of livelihood, and you are just counting numbers for us daily.
Are you really concerned about our plight and survival?
First you took to every Tv and Radio station to market Corona. Every second they advertise Corona, to instil fear!

Following criticism over its refusal to approve Madagascar herbal potion, WHO has reacted.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted to scientifically test Madagascar’s herbal remedy said to cure coronavirus.

DPA reports that WHO Africa Director, Matshidiso Moeti stated this on Thursday.

“We have offered to support the design of a study to look into this product,” Moeti said.

Moeti disclosed that WHO officials had met with the Madagascan leadership to discuss under which conditions such a study could take place.

The body said it was determined to test the efficacy of the product.

“We are not discouraging the product but we would like for it to be tried out. So when we are (making it broadly available), it’s based on some evidence,” Matshidiso said.

Madagascar’s medication called “COVID Organics” was prepared by the Malagasy Institute for Applied Research.

It is made out of artemisia, a plant cultivated on the Indian Ocean island.

President Andry Rajoelina announced that the remedy already cured some Madagascans of COVID-19.

“This plant strengthens immunity and protects against numerous viruses and fever and especially lung diseases,” Rajoelina said.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian government is in the process of taking delivery of the herbal concoction.

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has absolved Rivers State governor, Barr Nyesom Wike of blames in the demolition of two hotels in the state at the weekend.

Kanu in a press statement, signed by the publicity secretary of the group, Emma Powerful said the governor was only trying to protect his people.

Kanu rather blamed the owners of the hotel for flouting the lockdown order.

Kanu said,

“We must understand that operators of that very establishment risked the lives of thousands of people in Rivers State and beyond.

“Potentially, they could have brought infections and death to thousands of people, either through Coronavirus infected Almajiri or by inadvertently providing accommodation to Fulani killers streaming into our towns and villages from the North.

Kanu, however, lamented that such demolition which was generating comments from all quarters had been done by the present governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai while he was still the minister of federal capital territory, and nothing happened.

“When El-Rufai was busy terrorizing and pauperising thousands of Biafran businessmen by demolishing their hotels, bars, restaurants and homes in Abuja, some of the raging hypocritical voices of righteous indignation we are hearing today were never heard.

“They never uttered a word, nor made a sound because they were and still are afraid of the murderous tendencies of their Fulani masters who are still demolishing legitimate Igbo businesses in Abuja.”

Kanu’s, however, described Wike’s action as overreaching, saying,

“l do not condone it because he went too far.”

Amotolongbo:
But what is the role of the Nigerian police self?

Oppress the poor and serve the rich.

The Lagos State Government, on Saturday, announced that Lagos Mainland has the highest coronavirus cases in the State.

The list of areas with the highest number of confirmed cases were released by Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi.

According to him, Lagos mainland tops the list, followed by Alimosho, Oshodi, Mushin, Ikeja, Kosofe and Isolo LGA.

Abayomi said the State was using the data to plan its strategies and where to place increased surveillance and isolation capacity.

Recall that Lagos on Friday confirmed 176 cases as the country recorded 386 COVID-19 cases.

Below is a graphic presentation of LGAs with highest COVID-19 confirmed cases:-

Delta Government has warned that anyone seen in public without face mask would be taken to any of the Isolation Centres in the state.

Commissioner for Information in the state, Mr Charles Aniagwu, made this known in Asaba on Monday and said that the measure was part of the resolutions reached at a meeting of the Technical Committee for the Prevention of Covid-19 in Delta.

According to Aniagwu who briefed the media at the end of the meeting, relaxing the lockdown for economic reasons should not jeopardize the safety of the people.

He said that the compulsory use of face mask by all individuals appearing in public has commenced across the state, and that persons seen in public without the mask would be taken straight to the isolation centre,

“because it will mean that you have the virus and want to infect others’’.

“Anybody seen in a tricycle, `Okada’ or taxi without face mask will lead to the impounding of the tricycle, okada or taxi, and any business centre that attends to a customer who is not putting on face mask risks being closed permanently.

“The Technical Committee for the Prevention of Covid-19 in Delta met this afternoon and the meeting was presided by our Governor, and at the meeting, it was resolved that all health workers involved in the management of Covid-19 will receive their allowances before the end of the week.

“Also, other support staff involved in the management of Covid-19 in the health sector will also be insured,”

He restated that the period of the curfew in the state remained between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., and reaffirmed that no vehicle would be allowed into the State during the period, irrespective of the consignment being conveyed.

“We have created more mobile courts for the issue of adjudication for those persons who will not obey the law, because as a government, we are committed to applying preventive approach in tackling Covid-19.

“As a government, we have the responsibility to protect our people and the use of face mask which must be worn properly to cover the mouth and nose must be implemented, and we must also know that there is no alternative to social distancing, regular washing of hands with soap and avoid touching of eyes, mouth and ears.

“We should adopt the mentality that every other person is a potential risk; assume that the other person is a carrier for you not to get close,”

Aniagwu said and urged residents to heed government’s regulations on the management of the pandemic.

Governor Makinde stated this via Twitter shortly after the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control announced eight new infections in the state on Friday night.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has confirmed 10 new coronavirus cases in the state.

He stated this via Twitter shortly after the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control announced eight new infections in the state on Friday night.

The Centre had announced two cases in the state on Thursday night, bringing the total confirmed cases in the state to 31 with nine recoveries and two fatalities.

The governor said amongst the new patients was a doctor at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, who recently came back from Kano State.

He added that six Togolese citizens, as well as an operative of the State Security Service also tested positive for the virus and were all receiving treatment at the state Isolation Centre.

“We have started receiving results of pending COVID-19 confirmation tests. Two tests came back positive late last night. One from a UCH doctor who returned from Kano and another is a worker with the State Security Service.

“Another eight tests came back positive today. Of the eight newly confirmed cases, six are Togolese nationals and the remaining two are Oyo State residents in Ogbomoso.

“In addition to the case recorded in Lagos which was announced yesterday, another confirmed case recorded in Kano is also being managed in Oyo State. This brings the number of active cases in Oyo State to twenty,” Makinde tweeted.

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has advised ex-President Goodluck Jonathan to challenge the allegations against him by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Kanu said this on Thursday while reacting to moves by Buhari administration to subpoena bank records of Jonathan and his wife, Patience.

The IPOB leader warned that his group would no longer tolerate the intimidation and harassment of former President Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience.

IPOB also said those who were calling for the accounts of Dr Jonathan and his wife were the real people looting funds in Nigeria.

Kanu urged Jonathan to abandon his ‘gentleman toga’ and confront the government headlong.

He said:

“They are now pursuing former President Goodluck Jonathan after looting the country and are now shopping for loans from lending agencies.

They have not given the account of the N13.9 billion meant for Aso Rock clinic, yet the same people are asking for the account of a former president and his wife to disgrace them and make them scapegoats in their misrule.

“They are also pursuing Mrs. Diezani Madueke because they want to divert attention of Nigerians and the world from their incompetence and looting, but they have not responded to the allegation of looting of N13.9 billion meant for Aso Rock clinic which alarm was raised by the wife of their president against the cabal in the government.

“We in IPOB are warning them to leave former President Jonathan and his wife, Patience, alone.

“You may toy with Jonathan because he allowed you to do that to him, but do not toy with Patience, otherwise we will bring down Nigeria.

“We are surprised that PANDEF and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have all kept quiet to this renewed attack on Jonathan.

“It is high time Dr Jonathan dropped his gentleman’s toga and defend himself, his wife and family members.”

Meanwhile, Jonathan had in a statement by his Spokesman, Ikechikwu Eze clarified that he has no account or property abroad

What happens to Madagascar vaccine?

Trust WHO at ur own peril

The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that there are 102 potential COVID-19 vaccines being developed around the world.

WHO, in a document posted on the organization’s website on Thursday, said eight of the potential vaccines have been approved for clinical trial.

According to the WHO, China’s vaccine clinical trial request was accepted today as the WHO only had seven vaccine requests four days ago.

Four of the vaccines approved are from China, one is from England, one is American and another is a combined American and European group.

We recalls that WHO declared that no vaccine has been approved in Nigeria or any part of Africa for COVID-19.

Meanwhile, China has approved early-stage human tests for two experimental coronavirus vaccines developed by Sinovac Biotech and by the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, an affiliate of state-owned China National Pharmaceutical Group

There is pandemonium in Bomadi, headquarters of Bomadi council area of Delta state, as a soldier, attached to the Joint Task Force, JTF, Bomadi Division, Thursday, was shot dead by a policeman attached to SARS.

Though the soldier’s identity has not been known as at the time of filing in this report, the incident occurred in the early hours of the fateful day.

An indigene who resides close to the scene of the incident, who also pleaded anonymity, said “the incident occurred around 1 am last night (Thursday) when SARS police patrol van came in front of the residential hotel premises of JTF officers here.

“The JTF officers were on mufti busy drinking in front of their premises when the police patrol van came, asking why they were outside at such a time.

“Trouble ensued when the police officers insisted on seeing their ID cards after the military officers told them their identity, but refused to show them ID cards.

“The military officers became infuriated when the police officers insisted taking them to the station, leading to exchange of blows and a police officer shot one of the military officers and fled”.

However, there is tension in Bomadi and environs when the news of the soldier’s death filtered into town after being rushed to a hospital. His body is reported to have been deposited in a morgue in Bomadi.

Shops and business centre around the scene of the incident have been closed for fear of the unseen, with military officers on various spots of the council headquarters and environs.

Contacted, JTF Commanding Officer, Ogbarho, B. Ogidan, who visited the scene of the incident, said:

“I’m in the middle of the investigation, it is ongoing and that’s all I can tell you now”.

However, efforts to speak with the Police PRO, Onome Onowakpoyeya, were futile as his mobile number was switched off as at the time of filing in this report.

Reacting to the incident, Pere of Kerebiri-Mein Kingdom, HRM Godspower Oporomo, said “though the incident is unfortunate, the prompt reaction and intervention of the JTF Commanding Officer into the matter is highly commendable”.

The Africa Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has outlined some of the trials going on for Covid-19 treatment and vaccination in Africa.

Fifty-two countries have currently reported having positive cases of the virus – with more than 37,000 patients being treated.

In a joint briefing online with doctors at Shanghai hospital, the Africa CDC said that in comparison to the rest of the world there were very few treatment happening in the continent.

Dr Taji Rajudeen outlined the trials so far:

In Egypt, there are about 13 trials going on looking specifically at therapeutics. Scientists there are also conducting around two trials on vaccines. They are also looking at the place of nutritional support, especially with honey and some immunotherapy trials are going on in Egypt.
In Zambia, they have one ongoing trial with hydroxychloroquine.
South Africa is part of the WHO solidarity trial, and they are looking at Chloroquine, Interferon, Remdesivir.
In Nigeria, they have one trial in progress – still on theraputical agents.
Tunisa has two trials going on.
The Africa CDC try to mobilise the different research consortiums on the continent to see how to change this narrative so that Africa becomes more engaged in that regard.

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has said he is wearing face mask to cover his nose and mouth in order to protect himself from the deadly disease.

The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, has said that despite the announcement by the President, on a gradual relaxation of the lockdown, the Federal Ministry of Education could not foresee or give any date when schools will be resuming in the country.

Nwajiuba said this while responding to newsmen during a briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 pandemic on Tuesday in Abuja.

The minister said,

“The President actually addressed the issue of the opening of the economy gradually. Until that is done, we can’t foresee or immediately tell you when all the schools will be reopened. It will not be proper for us to simply give you a date.

It has to be in tandem with these opening terms. We don’t want to put our children at risk. None of these schools can function on their own without the society.

“On the question of children promoting to the next class, those exams will happen when we are satisfied that the children have learnt what is enough for them to move.

For those who are in the exit classes of junior basic and senior secondary schools, we are preparing them and will continue to.

“This will go on until we are sure that they are equipped for the external examinations. The West African Examinations Council has not cancelled their external exams. It was postponed indefinitely.

This indefinite nature is so that we can get a definite date. Students will still have to go and take those exams when we are sure that we have taken good care of the pupils.”

Meanwhile, the Federal Capital Territory Administration Education Secretariat has cautioned schools against re-opening, noting that it had not issued any directive for resumption of academic activities.

The acting Secretary for Education, FCTA, Umaru Marafa, in a statement on Tuesday, affirmed that the directive closing all schools at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic explicitly stated that it would be in effect “until further notice.”

The Federal Government has said that easing the lockdown in the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos and Ogun States was to enable Nigerians gradually return to their daily lives but in a moderated manner.

This was disclosed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, on Tuesday in Abuja at the 21st joint national briefing of the committee. He said that the COVID-19 pandemic had permanently altered Nigerians’ way of life and they must adjust to the new reality.

Mustapha said:-

“The relaxation of the lockdown is to enable us gradually return to our daily lives but in a moderated manner. “The COVID-19 pandemic has permanently altered our ways of life and we must begin to learn how to adjust to this new reality. “This relaxation does not in any way imply that the danger has passed.

“The virus is still potent, virulent and dangerous. We must remain very vigilant and careful.

“We must take responsibility for our actions. We must commit to a collective victory over COVID-19.”

Family of Late Chief of Staff to President Muhamadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, has reacted to criticism following his death.

Recall that diverse reactions had trailed the death of the 67-year-old, who died due to coronavirus complications.

Ex-Commissioner for works and Infrastructure in Kano State, Muazu Magaji had rejoiced on social media, over Kyari’s death.

This led Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje to sack the Commissioner after the criticism.

Reacting, the daughter of the deceased, Aisha Abba Kyari on Monday pleaded with Nigerians to allow their family mourn.

Writing on to her Instagram page, Aisha asked Nigerians who claimed Kyari was the root of their problems to allow his soul rest In peace.

She wrote,

“My daddy, Abba Kyari is gone. Evil ones still won’t shut up. You all claimed he was the root of your problems when he was alive, now he is gone, surely all your problems died with him. Allow us that love him grieve and mourn in peace.

“And Dear Lola Omotayo and co that were so curious about his whereabout, I hope now that you know exactly where he is you are sleeping better at night.”

Thank God

Ghana has confirmed 271 new cases of Coronavirus just a week after lifting lockdown in Accra and Kumasi, the country’s two largest cities.

According to Ghana Web, Ghana Health Service (GHS) confirmed the 271 new cases on Sunday to take their total number to 1,550. A new death from the disease was also recorded.

The death toll now stands at 11 with 155 persons recovering from the disease.

The Ghana Health Service data analysis also revealed that 62 percent of infected persons in Ghana are male while 38 percent are female.

It was also disclosed that only 16 percent of infected persons have a travel history with a staggering 84 percent having no clear history of travel.

A week ago, Ghana’s President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo lifted a three-week lockdown in two cities, Accra and Kumasi citing improved coronavirus testing and the “severe” impact of the restrictions on the poor and vulnerable in the country.

According to him, the decision did not mean the government was letting its guard down, saying existing bans on public gatherings and school closure were still in place.

He urged Ghanaians to wear masks when going outside and to continue adhering to social distancing measures put in place to halt the spread of Coronavirus.

The additional 14 days lockdown extension is going to end in the next two days and I’m curious to know who has received the money.

The FG said it will disburse to the poor through BVN because the 14days additional lockdown is almost finished.

A lot of people have been anticipating to receiving the money.

So I want to ask,

Who Has Received The Money That FG Said It Will Give Through BVN?
