Anybody who isn't happy with how the Ebola patients are being cared for is welcome to wear the space suit, go in and take care of them. They're still looking for volunteers.

Its easy to sit in the safety of your homes and offices and complain and demonize those who are risking their lives every day to care for them. You hypocrites are all part of the problem. You've done nothing to help other than whining and complaining and useless prayers, yet you feel justified to condemn others. You are even abusing the poor nurse who is just another innocent victim and had no motive to endanger others. How do you know that she's not reading this thread and losing hope?

If you want to help the Ebola victims, then come and volunteer. Or send them letters of encouragement, or get well soon cards. Or educate people around you to stop stigmatizing victims, family members and the health workers who care for them.

If you're not willing to do something tangible and useful, then at least have the decency to STFU and stop your whining.

You should also direct your anger at a totally derelict and inept government that was not proactive neither up to the task now that the die is cast.

Jonathan was busy smiling with the health minister who presented his hand sanitizer, most likely being sold by his family member to the government, instead of tackling the grim realities on ground. To all those jokers it is always business as usual.

It will soon be time for change!

Which change? the committee of m0r0ns aka Nigerian people want the fvcktard in Aso rock till Christ come

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.

Imagine that I went to an NDDC office yesterday (government office), there was no water to flush the toilet after urinating let alone to wash my hands in the wash-hand basin. In fact, it's like I was seeing MR EBOH physically there.

With their multi-billion dollar budget. Is that not enough proof that money does not buy civilisation. Is it not a sign that the black man has serious issues.

[size=28pt]You see how the Ebola epidemic hoax is working?

People with malaria, typhoid etc. could be put into centres and labelled Ebola patients.

They are then given no treatment for their typhiod etc as no treatment can be given for Ebola

When they die it is recorded as an Ebola death therefore helping the propagandists make us believe lots of people are dying from Ebola.[/size]

[b]Brantly began to deteriorate and developed labored breathing. He told his doctors he thought he was dying, according to a source with firsthand knowledge of the situation.
Knowing his dose was still frozen, Brantly asked if he could have Writebol's now-thawed medication. It was brought to his room and administered through an IV. Within an hour of receiving the medication, Brantly's condition dramatically improved. He began breathing easier; the rash over his trunk faded away. One of his doctors described the events as "miraculous."

By the next morning, Brantly was able to take a shower on his own before getting on a specially designed Gulfstream air ambulance jet to be evacuated to the United States.

This is not a final bus stop in the cure. The drug worked miraculously. It is difficult for Map BioPharma to make the drugs because they are bearing the whole cost. If our Billionaire Pastors care for their congregation, this would be a sacrifice they can come together and tackle.

If they do not, then they do not deserve the respect they get.[/b]

Pathetic indeed!! Both the FG and Lagos state government have been playing media stunts all these while that they are on top of the situation even when in reality they don't give a rat ass. No matter how much you try to be patriotic, those bloody rulers will always give you reasons to despise your fatherland. Don't we have the resources to adequately take care of these few victims? the population of Liberia, Sierra-Leon and Guinea are not up to the population of Lagos state even with fifteen times the landmass and far much less mobility and vibrancy yet they recorded such tragedy, if we are to extrapolate this with Lagos and its monstrous population density, are we not going to have a disaster of catastrophic proportions?? As scary and nightmarish as this situation appears, one would naturally assume that those in authority would channel all resources and efforts in confronting this Ebola virus head on.

Once again, the attitude and world view of an average Nigerian and indeed the black race is reprehensible. We are utterly selfish and irresponsible!!

Just listen to what one of those spokesperson said, that we cannot handle the situation on our own, that we need international help to treat the victims and this is coming from a medical practitioner!! then you begin to wonder if its rocket science to treat or take care of EV victims but the truth of the matter is that known of the so called doctors or nurses are ready to take the risk, but they forget that the nature of their job involves taking such risk. The same way a soldier knows that his job involves fighting wars that could kill him or a commercial driver plying the highways everyday and knowing he could be involved in a fatal accident, ditto to all other professions but nobody wants to take responsibility in Nigeria, we take flight at the remotest possibility of personal risk even if taking action could save many lives worse still when we realize a fait acomplis of certain death lurking, we would want other people to die with us rather than die alone(the sawyer syndrome)

We need a radical change of attitude from the top to the grass root, else life will continue to be tough, short and brutish for the black race.

I wonder what stopped our President from contacting Map BioPharma and Tekmira for their experimental drugs. Instead he took over ten million dollars and wasted in the name of fighting Ebola.

caseless: 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!

sawyer didn't bring the disease... he came to Nigeria and was allowed into the country by Nigerians... it was also a Nigerian ebola patient that escaped to enugu.

how is the Nigerian different from sawyer

when you are thinking have one main answer and many backups... never use two answers... you are entitled to your opinion but I put the blame on nigerian FG for taking this ebola issue with "kid gloves".

You sound like they have really fed fat on your resources, well, I don't blame the pastors, I blame the fvctards that feed their glut, how about the roads that lead to the multi million dollar churches?

Most missions in other climes are pooling special funds for the control of Ebola in west Africa, Pope said it on his last visit to Basil last month, how can you say Nigerians are not dumb? The missionaries who brought community churches in our villages did not ask our grand fathers to pay a dime, they even went further to give them scholarships abroad, but our dear covenant wont even allow the congregation to afford it.

Bill gates an Atheist has been fighting malaria, polio and cholera in Africa since I was born from his personal purse, while African churches are distributing bags of rice to widows from the billions contributed by its members,

my people are fvcktards!

Amya:

Thank you very much! This is just an avenue to seek for attention/favours from the govt by these hypocritical doctors. Even a kid knows these days that if you want support from the masses, just say the government is not working.

If it's not being managed well, how come it's still the 10 Ebola confirmed case as it is last week. How come they are still alive even though we know the speed at which it kills.

Nigerians use your head for once! Anything in print must not be the truth! Punch is trying to sell papers, but this is a very shoddy journalism as they didn't even bother to go check out the patients themselves. They relied on the hearsays of people who I'm sure didn't even go to the said hospital. They probably called a press conference to lament to seek attention for themselves as though they are the victims. What have the contributed as medical practitioners! If they care so much, why can't they volunteer their services to these people they claim they love so much.

We should stop being a blame trading people and know that the government we hate so much is just our reflection as a people. You can't plant corn and pepper would germinate.


Has it ever occured to you that there is a very limited supply of protective garments for the doctors at the moment?

I bet you dont know that the hazard allowance of these doctors is N5000; a sum worth dying for.

You also may been uninformed as not to know that these doctors have no health/life insurance coverage by their government, as such when they die from the disease thier family only gets the word 'sorry'.

Doctors are human beings like you; who value their lives and have loved ones. They are not sacrificial lambs.

It is the duty of the Government to give us a safe working condition. Give us assurance that our families will be carterd for should anything happen to us. Then we will work.

But until then we stay clear just like you are doing.

You think managing patients with highly infectious disease like ebola is as easy as pressing your phone's keypad.

Y dont you offer your volunteer services to work in IDH? I asssure you they will gladly accept your assistance as they need more hands.

What is worse was the Minister of Health parading it as a work of genius. I guess he is more interested in securing the 1.9 billion naira Ebola money for himself than fighting the spread.
