What you need to know about Ebola Virus

  

News about Ebola virus infecting one person or the other has been on the increase now, so I decided to share with you facts about Ebola virus, it is so disheartening that this Ebola virus just came out of the blues and people have been dying as a result of contacting it.
How does a person contract Ebola?

"They usually acquire it from close contact with blood and body fluids, and that means someone coughs in your face, you handle a body or you look after someone and don't have ideal infection-control methods. You get the virus on your hands, you touch your nose, your mouth."

What symptoms do Ebola patients show?

"It looks like the flu: fever, headache, sore throat, muscle aches and pains. That's in the first few days. And then vomiting, diarrhea and the really serious part of the illness — that is the hemorrhage part — really doesn't occur until toward the end of the first week."

Once a patient is hemorrhaging, can he or she be saved?

"It all depends on the quality of medical care. Most Ebola outbreaks have occurred in villages, in mission hospitals where essentially they have a very poor level of health care and very poor infection control methods. The mortality rate in this outbreak ... is about 60 per cent. So you can survive. The better the care, more likely you are to survive but there's no antibiotic or anti-viral agent to treat this disease."

Why has this outbreak been so bad?

"First, there's a lot of cross-border travel. Whereas most other outbreaks have been isolated in the middle of virtually nowhere. Also, people in these countries don't trust the government. They don't believe in the infection. They hide their cases. If someone dies, they take [the body] home. And unfortunately the funeral procedures where you touch the body, and handle the body, markedly increases your risk. These cases are now more in central areas, cities rather than tiny villages. All of those reasons I think have compounded to make this a much greater outbreak."

Challenges of Ebola Prevention

Ebola prevention in Africa presents many challenges. Because the identity and location of the animal host of Ebola virus are unknown, there are few established primary Ebola prevention measures.

If cases of Ebola do appear, current social and economic conditions often favor the spread of an epidemic within healthcare facilities; therefore, healthcare providers must be able to recognize a case of Ebola should one appear. They must also have the capability to perform Ebola diagnostic tests and be ready to employ practical Ebola isolation precautions or barrier nursing techniques. These techniques include:

• The use of infection-control measures, including complete sterilization of equipment
• The isolation of patients with Ebola hemorrhagic fever from contact with unprotected people
• The wearing of protective clothing, such as masks, gloves, gowns, and goggles.

Never Give Up

Have you given up on yourself, have people told you,you are incapable of doing anything. Have you gotten to the stage where all hope seems lost, then it is time to start over again.

Have you given up on your dreams and goals in life.I want to tell you, you can start afresh again, you can dream again.Do not let people determine the outcome of your life.You can become who you want to be if you put your mind on it 

Here are some few examples of people who did not give up on themselves:

• Oprah Winfrey: Most people know Oprah as one of the most iconic faces on TV as well as one of the richest and most successful women in the world. Oprah faced a hard road to get to that position, however, enduring a rough and often abusive childhood as well as numerous career setbacks including being fired from her job as a television reporter because she was "unfit for television." Inspite of the setbacks, that did not deter her from achieving her goals.
• Winston Churchill: Churchill struggled in school and failed the sixth grade. After school he faced many years of political failures, as he was defeated in every election for public office until he finally became the Prime Minister at the ripe old age of 62.
• Thomas Edison: In his early years, teachers told Edison he was "too stupid to learn anything." Work was no better, as he was fired from his first two jobs for not being productive enough. Even as an inventor, Edison made 10,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. Of course, all those unsuccessful attempts finally resulted in the design that worked.
• Harrison Ford: In his first film, Ford was told by the movie execs that he simply didn't have what it takes to be a star. Today, with numerous hits under his belt, iconic portrayals of characters like Han Solo and Indiana Jones, and a career that stretches decades, Ford can proudly show that he does, in fact, have what it takes.
• Stan Smith: This tennis player was rejected from even being a lowly ball boy for a Davis Cup tennis match because event organizers felt he was too clumsy and uncoordinated. Smith went on to prove them wrong, showcasing his not-so-clumsy skills by winning Wimbledon, U. S. Open and eight Davis Cups.

Take that step of faith and dream again, do not be moved by what people say about you, their words are just stepping stones to your breakthroughs in life.If people do not talk about you, you will not know your weakness and your strength. These people who I mentioned use their weaknesses in becoming who they are today, they did not relent on themselves despite the setbacks they faced, they mustered courage to keep on trying and trying until they got their desires.Always keep in mind that it is normal to face challenges but the ultimate goal is overcoming them in the long run.Challenges are to strengthen you and not to break you.

DONT EVER EVER GIVE UP, LOVE YOU ALL.

GRACE: GOD IN THE RACE

GRACE: GOD IN THE RACE

Have you ever allowed God to be the centerpiece of your life. Is he in the race of your life or you are using all your strength, muscle, energy to make things work on your own accord.
If we keep on striving we would end up stressed out at the end of the day.
The bible says it is not of him that willeth or runneth but God that sheweth mercy, you can put all your energy in doing something but at the end of the day it seems you have overworked yourself.
Allow God to be in the race of your life, ask him to direct you on what to do per time.
We human beings tend to neglect God because we feel He is too big to hear us, the father wants to hear you, he wants a father-child relationship with you. He has been waiting patiently for that day for you to call on him.
Paul said in the bible''I am what I am by His Grace'', can you boldly testify of that or you are using your energy to make things work for you.
Let God be in the race of your life and everything will work out perfectly for you.
Love you all, have a blessed weekend.

Oral Hygiene

What is Good Oral Hygiene
Good oral hygiene results in a mouth that looks and smells healthy. This means:

• Your teeth are clean and free of debris
• Gums are pink and do not hurt or bleed when you brush or floss
• Bad breath is not a constant problem

If your gums do hurt or bleed while brushing or flossing, or you are experiencing persistent bad breath, see your dentist. Any of these conditions may indicate a problem.

Your dentist or can help you learn good oral hygiene techniques and can help point out areas of your mouth that may require extra attention during brushing and flossing.

How is Good Oral Hygiene Practiced?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly. Good oral health is important to your overall well-being.

Daily preventive care, including proper brushing and flossing, will help stop problems before they develop and is much less painful, expensive, and worrisome than treating conditions that have been allowed to progress.

In between regular visits to the dentist, there are simple steps that each of us can take to greatly decrease the risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease and other dental problems. These include:

• Brushing thoroughly twice a day and flossing daily
• Eating a balanced diet and limiting snacks between meals
• Using dental products that contain fluoride, including toothpaste
• Rinsing with a fluoride mouthrinse if your dentist tells you to
• Making sure that your children under 12 drink fluoridated water or take a fluoride supplement if they live in a non-fluoridated area.

Ways To Tell If He Is The One

Many women have a long, detailed list full of the qualities they desire in a man, and this can backfire because there is no such thing as a “perfect” man. There is, however, a man who is perfect for you. When you look at your list of desired qualities, a few should jump out at you as non negotiables. Maybe it’s very important to you that the man you’re with want children, or maybe you are looking for a guy who is responsible and financially secure. Whatever your must haves are, if he’s the One, you won’t have to bend or ever feel like you’re settling. Sometimes though, it’s best to throw the list away and let nature (or God) take it’s course!

Ways To Tell If He’s The One:

1. He shares the same passion for Christ as you. You’re not unequally yoked. When it comes to your relationship, God is first. He respects your morals and values and doesn’t try to force or encourage you to stray away from them.

2. He accepts you for who you are right now, not who you want to be and never tries to change you. Are you able to be your authentic self 24/7 with him? We’re talking bad days, good days, and yep, pms days. We all have those sides to ourselves that we might not be too proud of, things we’d rather hide, and maybe even a slew of annoying habits, but you should never have to fake it in a relationship. You’ll know he is the one if he not only sticks around through it all, but falls in love with you even more.

3. You trust him. I’m not just talking about commitment, although that is a huge part of the equation as well. Trust goes well beyond cheating. Do you trust him enough to share your life with him and to begin looking at the world as a team? Are you comfortable sharing your goals and dreams with him, no matter how far fetched they may seem, and more importantly, do you trust that he’ll support you in any way that he can? Are you open to his views and hopes for the future as well? Think of trust like the foundation of the life you’re building together…if it’s shaky, everything else will be too .

4. He’s your best friend. I hate to sound cheesy, but the best marriages are the ones where the couple would count their partner as not only a lover, but their best friend as well. They don’t just love each other…they like each other. A lot. This doesn’t mean that you ditch your girls and expect him to cancel his weekly basketball game in order to go shopping with you. It simply means that he’s the first person you call when you need to talk something out or have big news to share. Additionally, it means that you genuinely enjoy spending time together and experiencing the in between moments of life in each others company.

Stop Looking Back.......Let It Go

Most times we tend to look behind, we try to analyse why some things do not work out and if we could turn the hands of time, we think we would be able to fix it up.
We cannot control the times in our lives, everything takes place in a step to step manner. We cannot rush things because at the end of the day, we become so preoccupied with so many things and we tend to lose focus on one aspect we are actually pursuing.
So, back to my topic stop looking back or trying to figure why things did not work out perfectly in your journey of life. I have been guilty of such countless times, but anyways I have no choice but to be thankful for where I am and where am going to.
If things did not work out as you desired, just leave it alone and focus on the now moment and allow God to take control. Enjoy the best of today and tomorrow will be better than the past.
Is it a relationship that did not work out or a job that you wished you would have gotten if you had scaled the interview?
Or is it a friend that  is so close to your heart that betrayed you despite the love and care you showed him or her.
Or is it a deal you invested in and it eventually went down the drain just like that.

Character, Character, Character

Character is the bedrock of any person development in life. Without a good character, it will be difficult for you to be successful in life.

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
― John Wooden

To know someone of a good character, get to define them by their actions, because actions pay a long way in defining someone’s character.

 For example, A man who tells you he will keep to his promises, but never stick to them, what do you think of such person. He does not betray you once but most of the times, that person is not of a good character. He does not keep to his promises.

If you hide your character for so long, it will surely surface one of these days, you can never pretend for so long.

We define our character by our words, values, actions, attitudes, belief system e.t.c

What character are you portraying, how do you want the world to perceive you, are you a man pleaser or a person of great value that people can vouch for anytime anyday.

As Abraham Lincoln said Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.

The tree is the real thing in the sense that that is what defines your totality as a human being.

If the tree (character) is not well rooted then it will be entirely be cut away by friends, people, loved ones.

Build a godly character that will be worthy of emulation by all so that your reputation will be a noteworthy one.

We can take a cue from the bible, an example of a person with godly character was Job, He was a perfect man and he eschewed evil. He was one of the righteous man in the Bible, even satan testified of that. When his wife told him to curse God and die, inspite of the tribulations he faced, he did not heed to her. His character stood the test of time.

Remember your character is what determines how we respond to situations of life

Food For Thought

Chai....... God is great

Yesterday I went out with a friend and the commercial bus I boarded, I noticed the driver kept checking the bus, but I just waved it off that there was nothing to be bothered about.
We had not even gotten to our destination only for us to realise that the back tyre had burst, and someone at the back seat kept beckoning to the driver to stop and park.
Apart from that, the bus was making a screeching sound, I just thanked God that the bus was not speeding, it would have been another story.
Some drivers can be so non-chalant, they don't care about human lives, I was just thinking to myself that does he think he was loading animals, he did not even bother to check properly if his vehicle was in proper condition and the funny thing was that he did not have any spare tyre.
I was like wow, Nigerians are the ones complaining about this and that, just a look at the driver will show how he does not value his fellow neighbour.
He is supposed to ensure that his vehicle is in proper condition but no he decides to manage it until he gets to his destination.

This video is very funny.............hahahahahaha

Enjoy...... I had to share it with you guys, so funny.

Must Read: A powerful message for Married men

Popular Lagos pastor, Tony Rapu of the Present House Church Lagos, took to his Twitter account to share some marital tips for married men especially.

Health benefits of water melon

 

Possible health benefits of consuming watermelon
Asthma prevention: The risks for developing asthma are lower in people who consume a high amount of certain nutrients. One of these nutrients is vitamin C, found in many fruits and vegetables including watermelon.
Blood pressure: A study published by the American Journal of Hypertension found that watermelon extract supplementation reduced ankle blood pressure, brachial blood pressure and carotid wave reflection in obese middle-aged adults with prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension and that watermelon extract improved arterial function.
Diets rich in lycopene may help protect against heart disease.
Cancer: As an excellent source of the strong antioxidant vitamin C as well as other antioxidants, watermelon can help combat the formation of free radicals known to cause cancer. Lycopene intake has been linked with a decreased risk of prostate cancer prevention in several studies.
Digestion and regularity: Watermelon, because of its water and fiber content, helps to prevent constipation and promote regularity for a healthy digestive tract.

SEX (Something Extraordinary)

When you say something is extraordinary, it means it is priceless, valuable.
SEX should not be given to an ordinary person, it should be given to someone who is worth it.
Sometimes, delayed gratification pays out in the long run.
Engaging in premarital sex does not guarantee that the person loves you, if he truly loves you, he will wait for your body until the day you tie the knot .
I tagged SEX as Something Extraordinary because most people have been deceived that love without sex is incomplete, that is a lie. If sex is all about love then how come most prostitutes or people do not find love after having sex.
Once you start engaging in premarital sex with someone who does not deserve you, you have tied your spirit with that person and it takes the grace of God for you to be delivered.
"Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled, but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" Hebrews 13:4.
Keep your body for that one person who truly deserve it and not any riff-raff who wants to destroy your life.
You have a glorious future don't allow anybody destroy your life.
You can read 1st Corinthians 7, then you will understand what am saying.
But if you have started engaging in immoral acts, I urge you to desist from such and ask God for forgiveness, He is just to wash to away your sins, start your life afresh and God will pave a way for you.
