WHO Increases Emergency Response In North-east

The World Health Organization (WHO) has increased its emergency response activities in the North-east of the country, particularly in areas formerly held by Boko Haram.
A statement from the organization yesterday said an emergency health team arrived in Maiduguri, Borno State last weekend to assess and respond to the health needs of 800, 000 people in the sub-region.

 The statement said initial assessments revealed urgent health problems among the population in 15 local government areas formerly held by the militant group.
“Estimated mortality rates in some of the areas are four times higher than emergency thresholds. The rate of severe malnutrition is estimated to be 14%.   In addition, Nigeria last week reported two polio cases in Borno State, two years after the last recorded case in the country. One of the cases is from a LGA that is still inaccessible to health service delivery, while the other is from a newly accessible LGA. Measles cases have also been reported in the area, further complicating a challenging humanitarian environment,”  the statement said.

See Bill Gates’ Epic Response To Beyonce’s Formation

Beyonce’s newest hit ‘Formation” has inspired all kinds of reactions, debates and opinion pieces. It seems like everyone has something to say about Bey’s politically-charged new single. The only one who appears to be tardy to the party is billionaire Bill Gates.

In the song, Beyonce name drops Gates when she says “You just might be a black Bill Gates in the making.” and it turns out the 60 year old had no idea his name was mentioned in the most talked about song by the world’s most popular entertainer.

When asked how he felt about it, his response was super underwhelming, humbling, but underwhelming none the less.

“I said, ‘Are you serious? This is kind of a strange set of words here. I’m surprised, ‘”Gates, who obviously doesn’t have Beyonce alerts set up, found out about the shoutout through a coworker. “I guess it’s nice that people consider me successful.”

Really? The humble brag? Okay, Bill. Despite his response, Gates proved he may not have known about Beyonce new song, but he does know how to dab.

See Bishop T.D Jakes’ Classic Response To Ripped Jeans Criticism

What should one wear to church?

Bishop T.D. Jakes’s decision to wear jeans to One Church LA on Sunday to the contemporary church son-in-law Touré Roberts and daughter Sarah lead, has garnered such a mixed response.

But Bishop Jakes was ready for his detractors. He stated that if people were as concerned with more important matters as they are his decision to wear jeans for one Sunday to the church in LA that he visited, the world would be a better place.

“I certainly want to comply with the word,” Bishop Jakes said. “I just missed the one about jeans in the pulpit.”

“When all else fails send everybody to hell who disagrees with you about blue jeans! Smh”

“I just can’t believe this has been debated by two or three antagonist all night! You don’t have the right to dress me! You do have the right not to like it. I probably might not like something u wear. That’s fine! If we just mind our own business, the whole world would be better!”

“I wish we had this much passion for the murders in Chicago, or those who are suffering in our cities. When I make post about helping the needy I don’t hear from many of you at all. You all seem to know what Jesus would wear but have no interest in what He would do! @art_vsz While you debate my jeans, tell em where you stand on women wearing make up, or female pastors. This kind of legalism is why so many frown on people of faith! In a word, get out of my closet and help the people in your cities! The homeless don’t care what any of us wear. Those suffering w cancer and disease don’t either. But you’ve spent your time arguing about something that is irrelevant! Most of the antagonist don’t even follow me anyway! Go back to your world and DO GOOD FOR GOD!”
