Man left to die at Madrid airport amid Ebola fear..!!!

A NIGERIAN man was left to die at Madrid's international airport amid fears that he had Ebola.

The man was left lying trembling on the floor for over an hour before he received medical treatment,
as airport staff refused to touch him.

After losing consciousness he was transported to hospital where he later died.

At 5pm on October 18, police officers at Spain's Madrid-Barajas airport reported that a man was lying trembling on the floor.

The airport's medical team decided to call the Health Ministry's specialist Ebola service which arrived 50 minutes later.

At 6.30pm it was finally determined that he did not have Ebola and an ambulance was called – he died half an hour later.

A post mortem revealed that the man was suffering the effects of a cocaine overdose after several bags of the drug had burst in his stomach..!!

Heavily Pregnant Woman loves to wrestle with crocodiles...!!!

YES! Women have being known to engage in some precarious activities during pregnancy, but this story is 'strangest'--just too risky abeg...!!

Fearless Martha Rivera refuses to give up alligator wrestling even though she is thirty-six weeks(8 months) pregnant...

A mother-to-be is wrestling alligators with just a few weeks of her pregnancy left. Having volunteered at the centre for two years, she's progressed from feeding to alligators to wrestling them an average of three times a week. Now eight months pregnant, she's finally decided to axe the grappling aspect of her death-defying performance routine.

Martha, who works at a hospital as her day jobs, said: "I started off working with alligators, feeding them and observing the behaviour they displayed. Of course, I have slowed down a lot during my pregnancy.

I only wrestled up to a point in which I felt confident in my handling skills; once I no longer felt that I was fast enough, I stopped wrestling. What fascinates me most about alligators is how smart they are. People underestimate alligators, not realizing that they catch on very quickly."

Though alligators do not see humans as prey, they have been known to attack, should they feel threatened.

What if something bad happens to her?

THREE NIGERIAN COMPANIES GET WHO APPROVAL TO PRODUCE DRUGS FOR MALARIA, HIV/AIDS AND TB..!!

According HealthNewsNG, Nigeria's Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, has announced 3 Nigerian pharmaceutical companies have met the World Health Organisation's Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Prequalification for the production of drugs against malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberkulózis and other diseases.

The pharmaceutical companies are Evans
Pharmaceutical Ltd, May & Baker Pharmaceutical Ltd and Chi Pharmaceutical Ltd.

Chukwu said the firms got WHO's approval after demonstrating acceptable levels of compliance with the WHO GMP after Audits/Inspections by WHO prequalification team.

He revealed that prequalification is one of the major challenges of the Nigerian local drug industries and has been of great concern to the Nigerian government because money and recourses were being lost by government for non-WHO prequalification of local drug manufacturing companies.

The minister revealed that out of the 11
companies that started the journey, four have succeeded. He expressed optimism that the remaining seven will be pre-qualified soon.

This is GOOD NEWS...!!! If you think so leave your comments below..!
