Nigeria’s leading luxury hospitality brand, R.S.V.P, is set to host Lagos to its second edition of African Heritage Week this February.

Following the success of its first edition, R.S.V.P has created a month-long celebration of modern reimagined versions of African culture. African Heritage Week will feature five distinct interactive exhibitions in Cuisine, Art and Music. These collaborations aim at projecting the relationship between fine dining, music, arts and how each of them has played dynamic roles in Africa’s heritage, individually and collectively.

Kicking off the month-long celebration will be a series of carefully curated and commissioned art installations within R.S.V.P’s restaurant by the online art platform ARTOJA, graphic artist, Omoligho Udenta and sculptor, Obinna Makata. Guests will continue to enjoy the renowned food menu and cocktail list along with this rare interactive experience.

The month culminates in a Kitchen Takeover by Chef Kwame Onwuachi; a celebrated US-based Jamaican/Nigerian chef who is bringing a unique twist on African Heritage to dinners and guest on Saturday, February 24th.

Also taking place will be ‘NAGO’, a soundscape and poolside party hosted by contemporary DJ and Artist, AYE!

Juju music ruined my dream of being a monogamist – Sir Shina Peters

Iconic Juju music exponent and guitarist, Oluwashina Akanbi Peters a.k.a. Sir Shina Peters has confessed that he’s an accidental polygamist. SSP hinted that he planned to have just a wife and two children but his profession thwarted that dream. SSP also stated that he is really happy that he is now married and that he has always thought he would never be married because of how the ladies threw themselves at him. His confession reads in part: “When I think about the fact that I am happily married now, it is like a miracle. Before now, whenever I finished a show, I would have about 250 women waiting for me.

The question people should ask me is that out of all the women that swarmed around me, how did I choose a wife? I would say I was destined to be with my wife. But for my profession, my plan was to have only one wife and two children. But the temptation that comes with this business is too much. I always look at things from the spiritual aspect; do you know how many handkerchiefs women have used to rub my face.”

The juju maestro has also said that he now functions as a choir leader at Cherubim and Seraphim Church where he is now very close to God compared to his previous years. Do you know how many strange eyebrow pencils they have drawn and used to wink at me? Do you know how many boobs they have shown me while performing? All these things matter.

But I thank God for my life. The only thing that I have never indulged in is smoking, regardless the substance. Now I am the head of choir, Cherubim and Seraphim (Church); I am closer to God more than ever.”

Senate President re-arraign again over false assets declaration

The Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki was on Tuesday re-arraigned in the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over false assets declaration.

Tuesday’s arraignment followed a ruling of the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal in Dec. 2017 which dismissed 15 out of the 18-counts charges preferred against him in 2015.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that the three member-panel, led by Justice Tinuade Akomolafe-Wilson, dismissed the 15 charges but asked Saraki to answer the remaining three.

The panel ordered that the tribunal should try the Senate President again on count 4, 5 and 6.

In the count 4 of the charges, the Senate President was accused of making false asset declaration at the end of his tenure as the governor as Kwara State in 2011.

He was also accused of making false declaration on a property titled 17A McDonald Street, Ikoyi, Lagos upon assumption as a senator in 2011.

The prosecution said that Saraki declared falsely that he acquired the Ikoyi property on Sept. 6, 2006, from the proceeds of sale of rice and sugar.

In Count 5, Saraki was accused of making false asset declaration at the end of his tenure as the governor of Kwara State in 2011 and on assumption of office as a Senator in 2011.

The prosecution said that the defendant then also declared falsely when he claimed that he acquired another property at 17B McDonald, Ikoyi Lagos, on Sept. 6, 2006 from the proceeds of sale of rice and sugar.

In Count 6, the prosecution accused him of making a false declaration in his Asset Declaration Form at the end of his tenure as governor of Kwara in 2007 and on assumption of office for a second term as governor in 2007.

It said that he failed to declare his outstanding loan liabilities of N315, 054,355.92 out of the loan of N380, 000,000 obtained from Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.

Meanwhile, a defense witness, Mr Ademola Adebo, who is a Commissioner/Member of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), told the tribunal, while being cross-examined by the prosecution counsel, Mr Rotimi Jacobs, that he worked on some of the assets declaration forms of the Senate president.

When the witness was shown some of the assets declaration forms filled by the defendant , he was able to identify those whom he worked on.

The witness said Saraki was a tenure public officer who was required to declare his assets at the beginning and the end of his tenure.

“On the form, among assets Saraki declared, included N0.17A and 17B McDonald Street Ikoyi, Lagos, which he said were purchased from the proceeds from the sales of rice and sugar.”

The witness was also shown exhibit 4, which was the form Saraki filled upon assumption of office as governor on May 29, 2007 and made the declaration on July 11, 2007.

The witness said in the form the defendant claimed that he acquired the two properties on Sept. 6, 2006 and that they were acquired through a bank loan.

Meanwhile, all the documents were admitted as exhibits.

NAN reports that Saraki, who had earlier told the tribunal, through his counsel, Mr Paul Usoro (SAN), that he was going to present four witnesses, closed his case after the testimony of Adebo.

The presiding judge, Justice Danladi Umar, adjourned the matter till Feb. 27 for the adoption of written address by both parties.

Lassa Fever Kills Thousands

     

How to avoid Lassa Fever

— 6th February 2018

What it is

It has no known vaccine. Its general symptoms – headaches, weakness, fever, vomiting – are indistinguishable from Malaria; and its more terrifying signs – bleeding from the mouth, nose, other orifices and the gastrointestinal tract – are not dissimilar to the effects of Ebola.

It is hard to diagnose and even harder to treat once it is misdiagnosed as say, appendicitis, for instance, causing a delay in the early administration of its most effective antiviral medication, Ribavirin.

So what is this common yet unsettling illness that is being reported in states as far apart as Delta and Gombe, in a country where just last month alone 21 people died as a result, triggering major health crises anywhere new cases appear?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) calls Lassa Fever “a zoonotic disease, meaning that humans become infected from contact with infected animals.”

The host animal in the case of Lassa Fever – a disease that was first described in 1969 in Lassa, Borno state – is the common household mouse, referred to as the “multimammate rat” (or Mastomys rodent for short). As carriers, the rodents “do not become ill, but shed the virus in their urine and faeces.”

It is human contact with the urine and faeces of these carrier rats, usually via food or other household items contaminated with them, that transmits the virus from animal to human, which subsequently passes from human-to-human through contact with the bodily fluids (blood, urine, faeces, and other bodily secretions) of the infected person. The virus can even be sexually transmitted via semen for up to three months after infection.

As one of West Africa’s most common viral hemorrhagic disease, the risk of contagion is especially dire in rural areas, and urban areas with poor sanitation and crowded conditions – squalid settings where the Mastomys rat can hover, multiply and spread the infection unbeknownst to humans.

Worse? Lassa Fever is 80% asymptomatic, meaning that just 20% of those infected develop symptoms; implying that most people who have it might not even know it.
