gbanikiti: I thought cholera is a water borne disease? I suspect the contaminated "abacha" is food poisoning and not cholera. I stand to be corrected though.

sheniqua:

Please tell her to stop



The named victims were Yoruba
I didn't know Yorubas eat Abacha

doctokwus: Quite hasty conclusion in my opinion;sounds more like d typical nigerian way of making decisions based on hear-say.
-They cudnt av collected samples of d abacha in question because am sure d cholera incidence(s) were not reported dat same day,days in which d woman must av exhausted her preparations on whc dey av hastily made a conclusion,so whc samples were tested that isolated d causative agent,though history itself I agree is quite important.
-Evn if d lady was d presumed source,cud it av come from her unhygienic handling while she was serving& not d "abacha" per se because dey av to conclusively prove in d first place that a cholera agent can thrive on dat particular preparation of abacha,knowing some agents don't thrive on particular meals
-Were d victims served from d same water source?Anoda possibility
-If pple cud see d way some food items are prepared in some bukas and eatery joints,pple wud b surprised that outbreaks are still minimal.
What d govt shud do is not to rush into dis kind of conclusion,if not,it may end up missing d real source whc may end up creating more havoc.
