Five million doses of measles and rubella vaccine will be delivered to the Philippines, following a donation organized by Britain's  Prince C harles. The virus has ravaged the country since Typhoon Haiyan -- known as Yolanda in the Philippines -- hit on November 8 last year, leaving more than 6,000 dead and nearly 1,800 unaccounted for. According to the Filipino Department of Health, 15,600 cases of measles were reported during the first 10 weeks of 2014, compared to just 5,863 cases during the whole of 2013. The spread of the virus has been exacerbated by mass migration, with nearly four million people displaced by the devastating typhoon, according to the country's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. The immunization program will be mainly targeted at children aged from nine months to five year olds who are at most risk from the epidemic: the hope is that the plan will potentially save 5,000 lives. Prince Charles was in India at the time when H...

Many delegates could not recognise her at first glance as they were shocked by her almost ghoulish appearance. Dora who also served as Information Minister and who was a failed senatorial candidate in her native Anambra state, had to introduce herself to some of the delegates who found it hard to recognise her. She debunked earlier reports that she would miss the confab because of her illness.     On her facebook page on Tuesday, the former Iron Lady who as NAFDAC DG gave drug counterfeiters hell and whose tenure was globally celebrated for the clean up of the Nigerian pharmaceutical industry admitted that she has been ill: “I just came out of a major sickness, fo...

Kendall took to Twitter earlier today to retweet a spoof photo of  Kim Kardashian  and Kanye West 's headline-making  Vogue  magazine cover. In the pic, Kendall and Kylie's faces are Photoshopped over Kim and Kanye's. "love RT @KylieJenner: Sorry Kim," read the tweet (which has since been deleted by the E! stars). Pretty funny.
