abdulaz: endeavor to read your dictionary often, cremating a body is the same as burning a body.

barcanista: Mr Liberian, only you wakar carry ebola come naija...

Only you still carry am go!!

RÍP Mr. Liberia man

RIP Ebola..you miss road!!!! Even SARS Ño fit penetrate naija

smartg: Scientists have finally done it again. In their quest on how to reduce the world population, they invents all kinds of diseases. They invented HIV, but were not happy when they saw that Hiv does not kill faster as expected; that is, an HIV patient can survive for more than 20yrs. They went on to invent SARS, but sars was more deadly than Hiv, it kills faster, but could not spread wider because the victims does not last long before they die. Now they have come up with their latest invention 'EBOLA VIRUS' which means the combination of SARS and HIV. The virus last longer and kills faster and spread wider even after the death of the victims. What a deadly disease, it can be transmitted through a physical contact even a hand shake or by touching the walls of building.
THIS IS REALLY END TIME.
ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE US!!!.

Tolu91: They should have dumped that body in
sambisa forest instead of wasting it.

sammieguze: His body should have been dumped in sambisa forest

tobdee:
Let's just hope he didn't infect others that boarded the plane with him...they should all be tested! God will see us through !

Kalvan: Was his family made aware?!

pDude: BETTER CREMATE IT. NO BURIAL CEREMONY FOR THAT GUY O.

I WONDER HOW HE CONTRACTED IT

nijanigga: Im pretty sure nija people murdered that guy .he got no help or treatment.initially they told us that he was responding to treatment,the next thing i heard was ; he's dead.and now cremeated.

Adeniyi077: So bad there's no proper burial!

Ebola, you're another weapon of mass destruction sent by either God or devil to punish this forsaken generation.

However, for you, I and our families, we shall not be partakers.

Bigsteveg:

Immediately d guy arrived nigeria, he went straight to the hospital. My question is "why come to nigeria when u have the virus" ? The guy just cum punish us for 9ja.

1. Viral diseases like HIV and Ebolahave always existed in Africa for centuries.

2.Why they appear to be moving around all over the place is due to the fact that when the colonialist came, they brought modern forms of transport...which meant that previously infected people who would have died in their remote villages,now die far away from home....and have infected as many people as possible.

3. Viral diseases work by integrating their DNA with the host cell's DNA.....which allows them to basically use the cell to produce more viruses....which then wreck havoc on a massive tissue/organ scale. (Unlike bacteria which do not invade your cells). That is why they are so deadly. And that is how most viral diseases work....including the common cold ,and even hepatitis. You have probabaly been infected by one virus or another....the reason why you have not gone to the Great Beyond is because most viral diseases are self limiting.

4.Ebola virus originally was a virus that was prevalent in primates and fruit bats. Then it got into humans who ate infected animals.Even then,the first cases of human infection were probably mild.As the virus spread....microevolutionary changes led to the virus becoming more deadly. But it was still limited to a few isolated areas until the 20th century came along....with 20TH century transport.

5.Why is Ebola killing many people . Two reasons

a) African countries have a poor record in preventive health. If I enter a developed country with a contagious disease....I and all my contacts would be in quarantine within hours. Most African countries do not have effective quarantine methods. Then there is our underresourced and insufficent health system. And most hospitals do not have adequate quarantine facilities. And the environment is dirty. And there is no efficent disease reporting structure. You get the picture.

b) Most viral diseases have no cure. (Note that there are thousands of viruses on record). However, we are lucky....in the sense that most viral diseases are selflimiting. And even the bad ones like Polio have variable effects.( Polio may either paralyze you, or just give you a mild fever for a few days.). And then there is the human response. As an example...because of a defect in the CD4 cells of some HIV positive patients....they will never come down with AIDS....because the HIV cannot enter their CD4 cells...and thus the immune system can keep it at bay. Back to Ebola. 90% of Ebola patients die....but 10% survive...because their immune system mounts a different type of response to the Ebola virus than the 90%...an immune response that effectively clears the virus (over weeks mind)....and is the subject of current research into a vaccine that will protect against Ebola.

So, Ebola is not a plot by America against Africa(Nor is HIV). They have always been there with us....but have spread in the last few decades because of modern transport which has made the spread of viruses easier. Like our Liberian friend....if he had come down with Ebola 400 years ago....he would have died in his isolated village....and would have not spread the virus. Instead oflooking for plots....why don't we put pressure on our govt to increase funding for health....especially for preventive health.....and keep our environments clean....and not indulge in risky behaviour.?

dazyork:
Also, you can stop pretending to have any sort of knowledge about pre-modern Africa. The "Africa" you describe - a disease ridden continent dotted with "isolated settlements" which had no contact with each other is a place which only ever existed in the imagination of you and people like you. The Africa that DID exist was a bustling, thriving place with millions of people who traded, intermixed and founded large civilisations. "Transportation" is not some fancy idea which Europeans brought with them - millions of Africans were already navigating their way around the world before modern Europeans had even left their Caucasus caves. If Ebola had "been in Africa for centuries", then not a single African would survive today, you dolt! Large scale movements and migrations are part and parcel of every human civilisation and Africa was no exception whatsoever. The people living on the banks of the Ebola river in Central Africa could likely have migrated South to Zambia, or North to Cameroon - you might even have an ancestor from there. If there was any sort of "dark virus' which was this deadly, you can be sure we would have heard about it one way or another.
Here's a question - If HIV "originated in Africa", where, pray tell, was the world's first ever case of HIV/AIDS? Congo? South Africa? CAR? Southern California. A gay, white male. So either this gay white man had been having intercourse with your mythical "African monkeys" or the origin of HIV is actually in the USA, which several whistleblowers like Robert Strecker have confirmed to us since the 80s.
So if you have nothing to offer besides lies, fabrications, revision of history to suit some racist agenda and obtuseness, then please find your way. For as long as you post rubbish here, there will always be someone to challenge you.
Dumbass.
