Nigerian Midwife Who 'Effectively Strangled' Newborn With Umbilical Cord Found Guilty Of Misconduct In Britain

Mercy Ngozi Okeke

A MIDWIFE has been found guilty of misconduct by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), it has been reported. Mercy Ngozi Okeke had denied the allegations that are said to have taken place at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup between January 3 and February 24, 2006, claiming they were fabricated by colleagues.

Ms Okeke had been accused of nearly strangling a newborn to death with its umbilical cord when she failed to cut it after birth. Other allegations included failing to carry out vaginal exams correctly, failing to use vital heart monitoring equipment and injecting two patients in the wrong place.

She now risks a ban from the medical profession. "Ms Okeke was not competent to carry out competent or safe midwifery care and demonstrated a lack of knowledge, skills and judgement across a broad range of practice areas which include the core skills of midwifery," panel chairman Evis Samupfonda said.

The alarm was raised by concerned colleagues who said Ms Okeke was not able 'to act safely and react to clinical change', as one colleague wrote in an email to supervisors. Ms Okeke who worked at two hospitals, Newham University Hospital, in Plaistow and King George Hospital in Goodmayes, Essex, is said to have failed an assessment testing her knowledge and had poor communication skills with fellow colleagues as well as patients and their families.

An interim ban on the nurse will continue until the panel meets again to decide on what sanction to impose.

Frustrated Hiv Patient Bathes Nurse "Counsellor" With Acid

Could this be rightly described as a carryover aggression or arrant madness? This is the question on every lip begging for an answer especially the staff of Rivers State School of Health who were taken unawares Friday, October 21, 2011 in full public glare as an HIV patient bathed his counselor, and staff of the health institution, Mrs Ibuwari George in acid.

The HIV patient, a young man in his late forties (name withheld) had arrived Mrs Ibuwari George's unit for further counseling on the effects of his drugs, having called earlier to notify her of his coming for a chat not unrelated to his perceived deteriorating condition.

Prior to this unholy visit, the patient was said to have been calling and complaining of same feeling to which the innocent nurse had counseled him to keep faith with the prescribed drugs. He had earlier been certified sick with very low blood count after a test was conducted on him which prompted his being placed on drugs for boosting etc.

And since he was placed on blood boosting drugs, he was always calling and keeping his counselor posted on the developments but on this particular call, this wicked agent of death seeking for treatment of HIV infection, rather than make do with the nurse’s usual advice and encouragement went gagger, discharging a whole tin of acid on the unsuspecting nurse who is still hospitalized and writhing in pains.

Targeting his victim, the patient was said to have waited patiently until Mrs Ibuwari Geroge came back from her lunch break and while explaining to her how he had fared so far, suddenly opened a bag he carried and brought out a tin which he instantaneously discharged on her and which turned out to be acid. Mrs Ibuwari shattered at this point, had a hell of raw deal with her clothes and parts of body torn. Largely affected were her chest and lower parts of her breasts.

In the midst of the commotion aroused, staff and other visitors attracted to the scene descended on the blood thirsty HIV patient and would have lynched him to death but for the quick intervention of rescuers.

The HIV patient has since been arrested.

We’ll Cut Your Aid If You Persecute Gays, British Pm Warns African Nations

David Cameron has threatened to withhold UK aid from governments that do not reform legislation banning homosexuality. The UK Prime Minister said he raised the issue with some of the states involved at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, Australia.

Mr Cameron says those receiving UK aid should "adhere to proper human rights". Ending the bans on homosexuality was one of the recommendations of an internal report into the future relevance of the Commonwealth.

Malawi has already had some of its budget support suspended over concerns about its attitude to gay rights. Concerns have also been raised with the governments of Uganda and Ghana.

Mr Cameron told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show that "British aid should have more strings attached". "This is an issue where we are pushing for movement; we are prepared to put some money behind what we believe. But I'm afraid that you can't expect countries to change overnight.

Some of British aids...

"Britain is one of the premier aid givers in the world. We want to see countries that receive our aid adhering to proper human rights. " Mr Cameron said he had spoken with "a number of African countries" on the issues during of the summit.

Some 41 nations within the 54-member Commonwealth have laws banning homosexuality. Many of these laws are a legacy of British Empire laws.

The discussion in the Ugandan parliament of an anti-homosexuality bill in 2009 sparked particular controversy, and earlier this year Ugandan gay rights campaigner David Kato was beaten to death in a suspected hate crime.

Nigeria's Senate is currently discussing a bill banning same-sex marriage that includes penalties for anyone witnessing or aiding a same-sex marriage.

Reacting to the news, Uganda Radio Network journalist, Charles Odongpho, said he was puzzled by the move. "I welcome any move to pressure our government to be respectful of democratic values and human rights but speaking as a Ugandan I think we have much more important issues to deal with than the rights of homosexuals. "This is your money and you know where you want to put it but we face very serious issues of corruption, poverty, education and hunger. These are the most critical issues for us, not homosexual rights."

Adams Oshiomole Leads 8km Walk Against Breast Cancer

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State led the Commandant 81 Air Maritime Group, Benin City, Air Commodore Atiku; the Commissioner of Police, Mr David Omojola, other senior military and Police personnel; and top government functionaries on an 8-kilometer walk round the state capital to raise awareness against breast cancer.

The WALK organized by the Clara Oshiomhole Foundation kicked off from the King’s Square through Akpakpava Road and Mission Road back to the Government House GRA. The Governor who proposed a regular “Health Walk” said walk is not a symbol of poverty”.

Oshiomhole also revealed plans by the state government to provide necessary equipment and facilities that will help in the early detection and treatment of cancer at the Central Hospital, Benin City, assuring that the equipment will be installed upon completion of the Ultra-Modern Hospital Complex, currently undergoing construction.

The Eight Kilometer walk was part of activities to commemorate the International Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Comrade Oshiomhole who commended the initiator of the walk, Executive Director, Office of the First Lady, Hajia Zainab Momodu for the initiative advocated the need for regular checkup which he noted is the best way to combat the scourge.

In her address, Haija Maimuna Momodu stated that the theme of this year’s awareness campaign, “Walk for Life Against Cancer”, is a clarion call for everyone to rise up against the dreaded disease.

The wife of Edo State Deputy governor, Mrs. Endurance Odubu also gave a charge that the awareness should be an everyday thing since early detection can save lives.

The late wife of Governor Adams Oshiomhole lost the battle against cancer last year and that gave birth to Clara Oshiomhole foundation which is dedicated to cancer awareness and treatment.

Undergraduate Victim Of Acid Bath Cries Out For Help

Franca Ogbu... at the hospital bed Photo: Courtesy Vanguard

She used to be the cynosure of all eyes and several suitors have reportedly sought her hand in marriage, a request she often rejected politely, on the ground that she must at least, be in the university before thinking about marriage.

Franca Ogbu, a 22-year-old student of Federal University of Technology, Yola, Adamawa State had her joy short lived, 6 months into her University admission to study Economics following an acid bath by a male student. Franca, according to the University authority, had on that fateful day, gone to class where she was reading, when all of a sudden, an incident that changed the entire course of her life happened.

Two students reportedly stormed the class. One of them was said to have walked up to the unsuspecting student who at the same time, raised up her head to see who the intruder was, only for the intruder to pour a liquid substance later discovered to be acid on her face.

Chibuzor , a final year Civil Engineering student, was alleged to have sponsored the dastardly act by using one Nelson who poured the acid. Already, it was learnt that the School authority has dismissed him after which he was subsequently arrested.

Franca has been lying on the hospital bed for over one year with her face disfigured, owing to her parent’s inability to get the required amount of money to carry out a plastic surgery on her. Her parents who are peasant farmers have lost hope of their first daughter returning to her normal self. Presently, their greatest worry is not just the fact that the incident has incapacitated their daughter but the painful fact that the alleged assailant is said to be walking the streets freely.

For Franca to get back on her feet and carry on with her education, she needs the sum of N12 million for the surgery. So far, the Bauchi zone of ASUU comprising eight Universities in the North-Eastern Nigeria, as gathered, launched a campaign to raise the needed money to save Franca, with an account opened at the Fidelity Bank UNIMAID Branch. The account number is 6051446636 and the project account name is FRANCA TREATMENT.

According to Vanguard, the hospital had performed about 11 surgical operations on Franca for free. But she reportedly has 13 more operations to go, a financial burden too heavy for the parents to bear.

We call on well meaning Nigerians to please come to the aid of the acid attack victim, Franca Ogbu.

Britain's Oldest Rioter: Great-Grandfather And A Looter, 69, Hobbles Into Court After Looting JD Sports

Convicted: Thomas Hart, 69, Pleaded Guilty To Burglary

A great-grandfather has pleaded guilty to looting clothes in this summer's riots. Thomas Hart, 69, has become the oldest person to be convicted of involvement in the unrest which swept England in August. He claims he committed the crime when drunk, having consumed at least six pints of lager before joining a crowd of yobs looting JD Sports.

Hart handed himself in to police after seeing his picture printed in a newspaper, and last Friday, 28 October 2011 he pleaded guilty to burglary at Camberwell Green magistrates' court. He is now out on bail, and will be sentenced at Inner London crown court next month.

As he was leaving the pub following his massive drinking session on August 8, Hart was caught up in gangs of rioters looting shops in Lewisham, south-east London. He joined them in breaking in to the sports shop and took a number of tops, which have not been recovered by police.

Speaking outside court yesterday, he told the Daily Mirror: 'I was stupid. I'd had a good drink. 'I wasn't one of those people setting fire to things and smashing the place up - there's no need for that. 'I took two or three jumpers but I didn't get them home. Someone pushed me to the ground.'

The rioting cost JD Sports more than £700,000, as the shop is popular with the teenagers and young people who made up the majority of looters.

Horror Of South Africa: 'Corrective Rape' For Being Gay

Attack: Zukiswa Gaca, 20, tried to commit suicide after being raped by a man who
had asked her out

Gang-raped, beaten and stabbed 25 times, she was the lesbian activist and football star whose murder blew open South Africa's hate crime epidemic. But more than two years after the death of , the government has done nothing to halt the barbaric sex attacks dubbed 'corrective' rape.

Campaigners say that ten women are now assaulted every week by men who claim to be 'curing' their victims of homosexuality. The attacks are often accompanied by such horrifying violence that women are left permanently scarred - or fatally injured.

Zukiswa Gaca is still struggling to understand how an ordinary night out ended with her trying to kill herself. She had been drinking with friends in Khayelitsha township, just 25 miles from the cosmopolitan Cape Town. Speaking to CNN's, Untold Stories, the 20-year-old described how she had been asked out by a 'friendly' man she met in a bar. 'I told the guy that no I'm a lesbian so I don't date guys,' she says. 'He said to me, "I understand. I've got friends that are lesbians, that's cool, I don't have a problem with that."'

He was lying. At the home of one of his friends, where they had gone after the bar, he attacked her. ''He said to me, "you know what? I hate lesbians and I'm about to show you that you are not a man, as you are treating yourself like a man,' she continues.

'I tried to explain "I'm not a man. I never said I'm a man, I'm just a lesbian". 'And he said, "I will show you that I am a man and I have more power than you." He raped her. Afterwards she went to the nearest railway line and lay down on the tracks. A train was just 100 metres away when a passerby pulled her out of its path and saved her life.

She went to the police and reported the rape, even accompanying officers to identify her attacker.

Twitter Is Killing English Language, Says British Actor Ralph Fiennes

British actor Ralph Fiennes has spoken out against Twitter, saying it is dumbing
down the English language

CELEBRATED British actor Ralph Fiennes says social networking sites such as Twitter are dumbing down the English language. Speaking at the BFI London Film Festival awards, the actor said that modern language "is being eroded" and blamed "a world of truncated sentences, sound-bites and Twitter."

"Our expressiveness and our ease with some words are being diluted so that the sentence with more than one clause is a problem for us, and the word of more than two syllables is a problem for us," he said. Fiennes said that students at drama schools were especially suffering thanks to social networking sites, the Herald Sun reported.

"I hear it, too, from people at drama schools, who say the younger intake find the density of a Shakespeare text a challenge in a way that, perhaps, (students) a few generations ago maybe wouldn't have."

The actor's directorial debut, Shakespeare's Coriolanus, premiered at the London Film Festival this week. Fiennes questioned whether the playwright was even relevant in a time of dumbed-down English language.

I Did My Best, I Take My Sack In Good Faith…Samson Siasia

Sacked Super Eagles Coach, Samson Siasia has exclusively told SuperSport.com that he did his best while in charge of the senior national team. Siasia was shown the way out following a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja earlier on Friday.

The Coach’s position became untenable after he failed to steer the Super Eagles to a place at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

“I take it (my sack) in good faith. I gave it (the job) my all. It’s a pity it had to end this way,” Siasia said.

Siasia did not lose any competitive game during his time at the reign with his only defeat coming in a friendly international against Argentina in Dhaka, Bangladesh on October 11.

The NFF has ordered a committee to meet on Tuesday to recommend a replacement for the sacked Siasia.

Samson Siaisa Fired As Nigeria Coach

Controversial Super Eagle's coach, Samson Siasia has been fired from his position for failing to take the country to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, BBC Sport reported.

The executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) ratified the decision to sack the coach on Friday.This comes after the NFF's technical committee recommended the dismissal of the former international.

Siasia came under huge pressure after the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the continent's flagship tournament.

According to PM News, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, President of the NFF told the board during their meeting that the decision to fire Siasia is irrevocable. P.M. News also cited a source at the meeting who revealed that the decision might not have been unanimous. "Four out of 11 members of the board did not support the sacking of Siasia with an objection that the former Nigerian international brought about positive development in the senior national team since he took over from Austin Eguavoen."

There is also the concern that with Siasia gone, any new coach hired to take on his job will have the difficult task of building a rapport with the players all over again.
