After Ebola What Next? Etcetera Writes

Ebolaphobia is the new term in town as panic has swept through Nigeria and beyond in the wake of the lethal virus. The campaign has seen so much twists and turns such that the fear of the disease is causing more harm than the disease itself. But from all we have heard and seen in the past few weeks, to doubt the existence of ebola will be the height of stupidity. It is real and it kills and everyone should take all precautionary measures suggested by health organisations.

Stop Joking About Ebola, Juliet Ibrahim Warns OAPs

Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim is upset with on air personalities who have been joking about Ebola on air. The actress says it makes no sense when people who are supposed to pass information across to the masses joke about such an important issue. She also asked people to stop sending senseless bc's because it's not a joking matter and anyone can fall victim of the disease if care is not taken especially when people in neighbouring countries have been dying and some with their entire family. Her words;

Seriously it's sad how many are so ignorant and heartless. Our brothers and sisters in neighboring countries are dying daily from a deadly viral disease that has no cure and could hit any one of us if we are not careful yet we have others senselessly waking up in d morning taking time off their jobless schedules to type rubbish and broadcast it!

I Can’t Marry Her Because She Is Too Submissive For My Liking- Male Reader

As blogs now offer some of us the opportunity to open up and share our pains, I thought it would be a great idea to share a pain that is making me go bananas at the moment.

My parents practically forced my girlfriend on me about four years ago because they saw and still see her as a girl that is well-brought up. No doubt she is every inch a wife material, but not the one for me though. My take on it is that she is too submissive and hardly ever argues with me since we have been dating. She concurs with everything I do, and the more reason I sometimes worry about both of us having a future together.

How Do I Move On With The Rest Of My Life Now That My Marriage Has Collapsed?

Since my husband lost his job, things between us have not gone smoothly. I and my son have been at the receiving end of his frustration and anger; making it look as if we caused his misfortune.

He was always beating me up, while accusing me of infidelity whenever I got back late from work. It’s been two years since he lost his job, but he has been unable to get over the pain that came with it. I stayed with him all through and coped with the mental and physical torture he subjected me to, I had to seek for help when I became depressed and almost committed suicide. They advised me to leave, and I left three days ago. Since then, he has been sending me threat messages to come and pack the rest of my belongings, and he will not miss me or my son.
