The Lagos State Government has confirmed a possible case of Ebola Virus, which is been currently investigated while treatment is on for the 40 year old Liberian, who is now a suspect, and a possible 30 others who may have had contact.

Keyshia Cole & Daniel Gibson's Divorce -- Boobie Didn't File... An Imposter Did!




According TMZ, Keyshia Cole's estranged husband shocked her by filing divorce papers before she could, or so it seemed ... but Daniel "Boobie" Gibson says it was actually an impostor -- with a thing for El Pollo Loco -- who did the deed.

TMZ broke the story ... the singer was on the verge of filing for divorce last month, but still hadn't pulled the trigger when Gibson supposedly filed last week in L.A. County Superior Court.

We got a copy of the docs which looked pretty standard ... citing irreconcilable differences. However, it seemed odd an ex-NBA player like Gibson would list himself as his attorney.

We called the phone # listed for him in the papers -- and the person who answered claimed he was Gibson, but sounded suspect. So, we checked the address listed ... and it turned out to be an El Pollo Loco restaurant. Crazy, right?

When interviewed about the forthcoming Ryder Cup and his inclusion, Woods said: "I would say yes, but that's my position, my take on it.
"He's the captain (Tom Watson), obviously it's his decision. He's going to field the best 12 players that he thinks will win the cup back, and I hope I'm on that team."

Woods has been a wildcard pick before, in 2010 when Corey Pavin added him to his side for the competition at Celtic Manor.

CELEB FACES DESTROYED BY DRUGS







Macaulay Culkin
The public was shocked when photos surfaced of the "Home Alone" actor looking gaunt and haggard. The child star's problems with drugs were well known, but since he was rarely seen in public, fans were shocked to discover the depths of the actor's addiction.
Culkin's drug use most likely contributed to the demise of his longterm relationship with actress Mila Kunis--the pair split in 2011.
We hope that the beloved actor is recovering safely.

Courtney Love
Over the course of her rocky time in the public eye, Courtney Love has been open about her drug use and struggles with addiction
Love admitted to using heroin (including in the first trimester of her pregnancy), ecstasy and cocaine, among other drugs
The combined effects of heavy drug use have caught up with her looks--the singer often looks bloated and shows signs of premature aging.
Love is now proudly clean
Courtney has confessed that staying clean is a constant battle for her. She refers to her addictions as being "hulk-sized" and could take over her if she isn't careful.
To stay on her clean path, Courtney practices yoga on a regular basis. I think we can all agree Courtney is looking much healthier these days.

MANCHESTER UNITED'S RECORD-BREAKING DEAL WITH ADIDAS-£750M




If you think the club Manchester United is out of the league of the big sharks’ then wait and read this, to know that Man U is a whale on its own.

Without Ferguson holding the reins of power at Old Trafford, questions were asked. Ferguson was the club’s most reliable asset, a guarantee of glory. Investors lost confidence. Some season ticket holders will have privately pondered whether the yearly investment was still worth the trouble.

The football was dire and the results were unacceptable. In six games against Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton, United’s aggregate score was 1-14. There would be no Champions League football for at least one year.
So how can it be, just two months after the curtain came down on United’s worst league finish in 24 years that the club were able to announce an extraordinary, record-breaking £750million decade-long kit deal with adidas?

ROMANIAN PRIEST JAILED FOR KILLING YOUNG NUN


A priest who was jailed for killing a 23-year-old nun in a botched exorcism has been chased out of his village and forced to live in a remote forest hut.
Father Daniel Corogeanu, 33, left Sister Irina Cornici bound, gagged, strapped to a cross and without food or water for five days at an isolated monastery in Romania.
Corogeanu, whose crime inspired a Cannes prize-winning film, was jailed for seven years in 2005 and vowed to build a monastery in her memory when he was released.
But when he arrived at the site of his proposed centre, the eastern commune of Zapodeni, furious villagers reportedly chased him into hiding.

A local council official said the priest has now set up home in a wooden hut in the forest, which he refuses to leave.
Corogeanu was jailed in 2005 along with four other nuns who helped him with the ritual at the Tanacu monastery in eastern Romania.

SHOCKER: Bill Clinton Is NOT Chelsea Clinton’s Biological Father?



While the claim that Bill Clinton may not be the biological father to daughter Chelsea came as a shock to the public, to those living in the alleged baby daddy’s state of Arkansas it was the best unkept secret in town.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, former Clinton aide Larry Nichols claims Chelsea’s real father is the former mayor of Little Rock, Ark., Webster Hubbell.

“We were discussing a woman’s claims that Bill had knocked her up and what we should do about it,” said Nichols. “But he denied that he could have gotten her pregnant. He said he had measles as a kid and that rendered him sterile.

“His exact words were, ‘I shoot blanks.’ Stunned by what I’d just heard, I asked him, ‘Then what about Chelsea?’ And he said, ‘Oh, Webb (Hubbell) sired her.’”

And now the paternity bombshell news is exploding with a new report from The National ENQUIRER revealing that Hillary’s alleged affair with Hubbell was a not-so-well-kept secret in Little Rock’s top political circles.

RELATIONSHIP TIP: WORDS FROM A FATHER TO A SON ABOUT MARRIAGE




1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.

2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.

3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office.

4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.

5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent.

THE SIX WORST U.S PRESIDENTS

As United States celebrated her Independence Anniversary, we take a look at those Presidents that were considered not really successful during their tenures as U.S Presidents.


WARREN G. HARDING
On the plus side, his policies were progressive by modern standards, especially regarding race relations and women's suffrage, and he did set up the Bureau of the Budget for the national budget.

On the other hand, he filled every office he could, including ones with a great deal of influence, with his longtime friends and allies. Corruption was commonplace and even routine. Harry Daugherty, his Attorney General, was tried twice and acquitted twice for corruption, with hung juries.

Charles R. Forbes used the Bureau of Veteran Affairs as his personal money machine, which resulted in very poor treatment of WWI veterans under Harding.

Lesser offices experienced widespread bribery and embezzlement, including among Prohibition officers, encouraging rather than stopping organized crime's control over the liquor trade.

Accounts vary of many aspects of his life, because his very protective wife destroyed nearly all of his personal and official papers after his death, but many experts believe he also had multiple extramarital affairs, compounding his administrative lapses with personal ones.
As if this wasn't enough (and more scandals, including Teapot Dome, came to light later), he died after only two years in office.

PDP, Obanikoro Aiding Boko Haram—-Tinubu



In an apparent response to the allegation by Femi Fani-Kayode, National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola  Tinubu wednesday  accused Minister of State for Defence Musiliu Obanikoro and the Peoples Democratic party (PDP) of aiding Boko Haram.

Fani-Kayode had on Channels TV alleged that Boko Haram is an armed wing of the APC. The party through its spokesman, Lai Mohammed had asked him to retract and apologise or face litigation.

In a statement last night by his Special Adviser on Media Sunday Dare, Tinubu said: “the PDP government should step forward and explain to Nigerians why the over 200 girls kidnapped in Chibok are yet to be rescued. They should explain why the Boko Haram insurgency continues unabated despite billions of naira that is being voted for security.
