Rumor of President Yar'Adua's death spread in Nigeria
Like wild fire, rumors have spread in Nigeria that the ailing Nigerian President, Mr. Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has died in a Saudi Arabian Hospital.
But several sources spoken to by Pointblanknews.com dismissed the rumor as untrue and a handiwork of mischievous politicians. A source in Saudi Arabia who was just returning from seeing the President told Pointblanknews.com over the phone “you know how Nigerians are; they can spread all kinds of rumor. Mr. President is not dead, I just saw Mr. President now and he is responding to Doctors care.
Asked how long the President would be at the Hospital and what the name of the hospital is, he said “I cannot tell, you ask the Doctors.”
Other Sources have confirmed to Pointblanknews.com that the President might be at the Jeddah hospital longer than expected based on Doctors recommendation.
The President was yesterday admitted to a Saudi hospital immediately after he arrived the holy land according to reports monitored; a Saudi doctor was quoted as saying "the Nigerian president is undergoing medical tests at a hospital in the western seaport city of Jeddah."

Ancient African Beads
Beads from Africa are made in all four corners of the world, especially old and antique african beads. Millefiori trade beads were made in Venice, Italy. Annular wound dogon beads were made in Germany. And Russian blue beads were made in the Czech Republic.
But perhaps the most fascinating ancient beads are those recently found in Africa. National Geographic recently wrote an article about the oldest beads known to man: 41 shell beads, used as jewelry over 75,000 years ago!
Humans may have been wearing jewelry as far back as 75,000 years ago, about 30,000 years earlier than previously thought, if 41 shells found at Blombos Cave in South Africa prove to have been used as beads.
Although this 75,000 year old ancient African beads are not available for purchase today, you can certainly find a great selection of antique African beads for sale at The Bead Chest!
