its a shame on federal govt with their crazy federal executive meetings. News like this makes ebola look dreadful (minding the fact the we are all going to die just a matter of where, how and when).
Quarantine is different from imprisonment. If victims are treated like animals then nigeria is going to have alot of Patrick Sawyer.

davno: USA, Canada, Japan, etc. These are countries without ebola yet they have experimental drugs for it.

Liberia, DRC and in fact the whole of Africa - ebola was discovered here but we have nothing for it. No vaccines, no research, no facilities and no conscience.

Life is tough on its own but life as a black man is really really pathetic.
Nigeria has Nanosilver vaccine for Ebola.

2sExy1: I am not surprised at all. This shit may hit our door steps faster than we think because the Nigerian government has NEVER be known to be proactive.

I blame sawyer for bringing this to us ooooo. Ah...

All those fools that have been cracking joke with this thing, very soon, you will know that this is horror movie out of tv screens and living among us... Just wait!


I can't say God save us because God does not work that way... He is one who believe in action, which the Nigerian youth is apparently lacking by large margin. Even Isreal does not say God save... They Fight for what is thiers!

Soon, we will learn to vote wisely in our next life and not sell our souls to these monsters and bastards.

This is what we have brought upon ourselves... Because we do not know the power we possess as a people of the nation.

Soon, victims will out number doctors in hospitals that they can't cater for...

Vote wisely, we wont.

Demand for your right, we wont...

Suffering and smiling, we have A+ in that.

Na our oil, na our groundnut money ddem use use build refineries... You see fools tribalizing everything.

This will be our greatest undoing as the common man.

Hate me if you want, we will learn a very hard lesson from this...by the time you see people dying like chickens and being neglected on the streets like it's going on in Liberiar.

Nigerians? Giant of Africa my foot! Jokers!
God bless you sir

IGBOSON1: When i tell you guys this is one fuc/ked up country we're living in, i'll be shouted down! I bet they've already scrambled for the money Dangote donated (with specific instructions that it's mainly for Lagos state) and pilfered the lot under some spurious 'miscellaneous expenses' heading!

In one way, you can't blame the medical personnel for running away (seeing how the ones infected are being left to their own fate); yet again, it's what they signed up for, and if they know they're not up to the task the decent thing to do would be to throw in the towel and resign, while demanding that the federal and state ministries of health give those poor souls the proper treatment they deserve!

I've always said it that Nigerian Doctors, Nurses and other medical personnel are mainly materialistic, greedy, arrogant and short-tempered little hitlers, and are in it just for the money......not for some noble desire to save human life and limit human suffering! When push comes to shove, that's when they're 'shown up' for who and what they really are! Of course there's always the few decent ones still out there.....but as i stressed, they're few, and far between!

Not to belittle the gravity of the situation, but LMAO @ arrogant and short tempered little hitlers. grin cheesy grin

Janetozi: the fool has said in his heart, "there is no God" psalm 14

for the invincible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Roman 1vs20

if u don't believe in God, then ur existence is by accident

God have cure to all disesase:

and said, if thou with diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God & will do that which is right in his sight. & will give ear to his commandments & keep all his status. I will put non of these disease upon thee......, exodus 15: 26

and the Lord will take away 4rm thee all sickness......... Deuteronomy 7:15

then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, & he saved them out of their distress. He sent his world and healed them....... Psalm 107:19-20

he healed the broken in heart and bind up their wound. psalm 147:3
surly he hath borne our grief and carry our sorrow; yet we did esteem him stricken smitten of God and afflicted, but he was wounded by our transgression, he was bruised 4 our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him and by his trip we are healed. Isaiah 53: 5-5

this Ebola is not for the children of God, it is for the people of Pharaoh and unbelievers like you.

Believe in him or die

ukukaegbu: Little wonder that nurse ran away to Enugu from that place

Ran to Enugu to do what. What kind of post is this. Do we think ebola is a tea party. IT HAS NO CURE. The vast majority of viruses donot. The only treatment is to boost your immume system, prevent long term damage and fight secondary - bacterial infection so the number of drugs you can administer is very limited.

That's why I continue to repeat that we cannot afford to underestimate the destructive capabilities of this virus. I mean the US CDC continues to insist that prevention is the best way to end this epidemic. That in itself is a damning response to friends and families but acknowledges the fact that only one out of ten victims survives. To this end our government has done relatively well to contain it.

I am really sorry for the families who may have to watch their loved ones die a horrible, terrible death without being able to do anything physical for them but this is not the time to get emotional about it and take unnecessary risk. Stay clear of that place and let those who are prepared to take the risk and sacrifice their lives do their jobs. Ebola doesn't care whether you are a government official or not.

Strap yourself in everyone,we are in for one long bumpy ride.....I see thousands getting infected including the corrupt ones,even the very doctors and nurses running away won't be unaffected one way or the other..This here should be veiwed as a cataclysmic event.Bubonic plague has got nothing on Ebola,our saving grace is the virus ain't airborne yet thus individuals are able to safeguard themselves and so getting infected should be viewed as carelessness.

GodMode:

You and the people that like your comments ares f:ools. Its not patrick sawyer or liberia's fault... It is the Nigerian govt fault.

If you've been reading news u would have noticed how Nigerians are been treated cos they come from an ebola stricken country whether they have the disease or not.

The comment quoted below is from a sensible person and answers your stupidity cos I believe you are possessed by two many spirits.

asinines like u find it so rock-hard to allow opinion of others to percolate u. Have u seen the vid evidence frm cctv showing patrick sawyer at d airport to see his condition b4 coming to nigeria? Hav u heard d company he worked for in liberia ask him to stop coming to work since they realised his sister died of ebola and he made contact with her? Have u heard he defied all medical warning not to travel and did come to nigeria against warning? He knew wat he was carrying and decided to bring dis upon us...and he knew nigerians ar vulnerable too. Don't think i'm possessed by dual spirit, i tried to make a balance. I blame FG for not doing wat cud have prevented sawyer frm coming to Nigeria since he was infected and, i blame sawyer for bringing d disease to us.
I repeat, i find it difficult to forgive sawyer and d liberian authority. Go and die!

You did not describe The Nigerian Doctors and Nurses, you have only just described the greater population of Nigerians including yourself.

Nigeria has an institutional problem. Let us find the way to mend our institutions rather than conveniently throwing blames at individuals and groups.

The problem with Africa is corruption. Stu*pid African leaders are only after one thing & one thing only - To loot their countries' public funds!

What makes it more shocking is that these thieves always travel abroad for very expensive medications while their country men and women languish in dilapidated "hospital" buildings with no basic medical equiptment and drugs!

They could easily build exact or better replicas of the hospitals they patronize abroad in their respective countries, but they would rather loot public funds and impoverish their people than to alleviate their suffering!

9jatatafo: Nigeria is a country built on faulty foundation. We breath the air of corruption. As deadly as EVD is, we still play politics with it. Until we the common citizens start dying like flies and EVD is out of control then govt officials will be serious. We are just too money conscious in this country. What use is money when we are sick and dying? Imagine a doctor wasting in IDH and no one is concerned? I don't blame the other doctors that are avoiding the EVD victims. Nigeria is a sorry nation.

Faulty foundation?? Have I not been lamenting this for years ....are people listening?? Perhaps the silver lining of this epidemic is what I call the 'formation of a nation'. The kind of experiences that the world wars caused to the advancemement of America, Europe and parts of Asia. Maybe ebola as an arch enemy will unite us, refocus us away from our money centred, vain and selfish lives to a more egalitarian society.

They say grave conflict reboots the memory and elevates the thinking and that suffering is a tonic for the soul.

If our gov cannot get right by managing & taking care of this few cases, what will be the faith of the masses when it deteriorate to the level of Liberia or guinea? undecided

Jehovah we dey ur hand
As a Public Health professional, I know it's no qualms for people in that sector to falsify reports when it suits them. The same scenario playing out with ebola is what played out with HIV. Due to the incredibly poor state of our Public Health system, the real but never mentioned plan for people who contacted ebola is containment through elimination. I know people will quote me and say all sorts, but that is the sad truth. Is it a government that can't provide cheap UBP facilities for it's health care workers and has to wait for the likes of USAID, DFID, Global Fund and MTN Foundation to do that for them, that will provide expensive immune booster drugs and antibiotics for ebola patients? The government just keeps lying to us everyday. A friend of mine who works in a private hospital in egbeda area of Lagos told me one of the people who had contact with mr sawyer showed up sick @ their hospital on Sunday, meanwhile we are being told that all primary contacts have been put in containment centers. Though I don't support the absconded nurse and the abscondee family as their actions were totally selfish, you cannot totally blame them because they already know what will happen to them in those isolation centers. The sad truth is that this latest outbreak of ebola is just another financial windfall for crooked government officials and NGOs. They don't really care what happens to the ebola patients.

omenka: I find it hard to believe there is a more fvcked up government on this planet than the government of Nigeria!!

All these, yet we have the likes of Dangote et al. that have donated a whopping N150million to tackle the scourge.
what exactly are the monies being used for?? I could bet my last breath they hardly feed those people!!!

I swear by God, I woke up this morning, going to the bathroom to brush my teeth, a thought just struck me, I was like: "how exactly are the ebola patients been taken care of?? Sure they are not being mistreated??"
I finished from the bathroom, threw myself on the bed, hit the homepage of the site, and boom, I saw this thread!!!!!

I really feel sorry for those folks. Saying they are on deathrow is putting it mildly; they are already in the electric chair!!! This is Nigeria!!!

This situation gives some insight into what would become of the victims of Boko Haram activities in whose names monies were collected from corporate organisations and individuals (over 50billion raised I gathered)!! Not a dime would get to the intended beneficiaries of those funds!!

Jonathan's government is a 419 organisation, period!!! angry
Sanford should have donated the money to Map BioPharma for the provision of the ZMapp drug to Nigeria or to WHO to build a standard Isolation centre and supply PPE for Health workers.
