AUGUST BREAK

Dear diary,


Ever heard of the august break theory? Well I heard about it sometime back and I always look forward to August just so I can experience it. It's a period believed by many to be devoid of rain. The rains have been falling all year and august was looking like we were having a break, until the rain of August 29. Truly, that rain washed the earth clean. What major happenings/events took place during the August break? Find out as you read.


Ebola is still very much around. We thought we had contained it until a fresh case was discovered in porthacourt. Some infected people have recovered and have been discharged while others especially health workers have lost their lives to this deadly disease. Dr Adadevoh, the first doctor that came in contact with the Liberian victim, Patrick Sawyerr, also died. I pray that God comforts their family and give them peace. Don't forget to wash your hands frequently and avoid unnecessary contact with people. If you suspect anyone with the virus call the EBOLA HELPLINE: 0800-EBOLA-HELP.


Legendary actor, Robin Williams was found dead in his apartment in Tibourne, California. He was 63 years old. Autopsy result showed that he hanged himself with a belt. This is Ironic for someone who brought laughter and smiles to the faces of millions of people. His work as Peter Pan and the genie in Aladdin, will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Robbin.


August was not a beautiful month for the medical doctors in Nigeria. The Resident doctors on strike were sacked and it led to protests and other things. Thankfully, the NMA strike has been called off and the sacked doctors have been reinstated. We look forward to a crises free September.


Tinsel actors; Gbenro Ajibade and the beautiful Osas Ighodaro are engaged!!! This makes them the 3rd couple (after Ene & Chuks, Kwame & Telema) from the Tinsel series. Are you pondering what I'm pondering? I think it's time for me to audition for the series. 


American comedian, Kevin Hart, proposed to his girlfriend, Eniko Parrish. 

Hollywood actress, Gabrielle Union and basketball player, Dwayne Wade are now married. I wish them a peaceful union with beautiful kids. 


Meanwhile, Kelly Rowland is still pregnant and she is glowing by the day.

The #AlmostABride series is ready!!! http://bit.ly/1vQGd4L Don't forget to visit the Diary every Monday by noon  and drop your comments.

The Chibok girls are still missing and so is the MH370 plane. We need a light for this very dark tunnel and we need it fast. No major bombings took place in August (I hope) and we are thankful for that.

The 'ember months are here again. Be vigilant and stay healthy. I wish you a beautiful September.

HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!
