Ebola: Nigerian Doctor Appeals To US For Experimental Drug To Save Colleague's L by fkaz(m): 2:44pm On Aug 18, 2014
A doctor at the First Consultant Hospital, Lagos, Ladi Okubadejo, on Thursday appealed to the U.S. government to urgently send whatever medication in its possession on Ebola virus to Nigeria.

Mr. Okubadejo said his colleague was trying to save Patrick Sawyer’s life and does not deserve to die.
A doctor at the First Consultant Hospital, Lagos, Ladi Okubadejo, on Thursday appealed to the U.S. government to urgently send whatever medication in its possession on Ebola virus to Nigeria.
Mr. Okubadejo, who spoke at a news conference in Ikeja, said his appeal was aimed at saving the life of his infected colleague, A. S. Adadevoh, and other Nigerians at risk of the disease.
The First Consultant Hospital was where the late Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American, was diagnosed with the deadly Ebola disease.
Mr. Okubadejo said that Ms. Adadevoh, a Senior Consultant Physician and Endocrinologist, was one of those who diagnosed and was treating Mr. Sawyer of the ailment when he was first brought into First Consultant.

“She treated Patrick Sawyer because she was patriotic only for her to be infected with the virus. I am appealing to the U.S. government to send whatever medication they have to Nigeria fast to save Adadevoh. She does not deserve to die. So, this is the reason for this appeal,” Mr. Okubadejo said.
The U.S. had used the experimental drug, Zmapp, to treat two of its citizens infected with the virus.

jemigold: NIGERIAN DOCTOR WAS “NOT”
CURED OF EBOLA
(The Doctor NEVER had Ebola. World Health
Organization & U.S. FDA Issued Confidential
Warning Against Nigerian Health Minister,
Onyebuchi Chukwu, For Spreading Rumours Of
False Ebola Cure.
--Attorney Patryk Utulu
The W.H.O. and American FDA Have Issued Joint
Statement That:
(1) Nigerian Doctor rumoured to be cured of
Ebola was NOT cured of Ebola because the doctor
NEVER had Ebola. (Initial test result was a
“FALSE POSITIVE” which occurs in 1 out of every
150 tests).
(2) U.S. FDA warned U.S. firms for targeting
African nations and falsely marketing “dietary
supplements” as Ebola cure. USA threatened
penalties
(3) W.H.O./FDA issued “Confidential NOTICE” to
Nigerian Health Minister, Oyebuchi Chukwu, for
endorsing an unproven U.S. nutritional
supplement” and "thereby promoted false
rumours of an Ebola cure." (WHO threatened to
block Health Minister’s accreditation if he spread
false rumours again)
(4) W.H.O. affirmed its ruling this week that the
experimental drug, ZMapp, can be used on Ebola
victims where available. WHO stated
categorically that ZMapp is NOT a cure for Ebola
and that EBOLA HAS NO CURE.
WHO’s “Confidential Notice” condemned Mr.
Chukwu as “irresponsible” for saying that
unidentified Nigerian scientist living overseas
had arranged for Nigeria to get experimental
medicine. Chukwu identified it as "NanoSilver,” a
supplement offered U.S. firm, Natural Solutions
Foundation, NSF.
FURTHER, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
SAID THAT:
(1): NanoSilver is NOT accredited by FDA. It's
products are "dietary supplements, NOT DRUGS"
and has NOT been tested by FDA
(2): NanoSilver is for sale on a website along with
India Hemp (marijuana) oil, ear candles, and
chocolate. (LOL. Tufiakwa!!!!)
(3): Natural Solutions Foundation is NOT an
accredited science laboratory
(4): On July 20, 2014, NSF’s medical director, Dr.
Rima E. Laibow, posted an Open Letter to
Presidents of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone,
Nigeria and Ghana claiming that NanoSilver
cured Ebola. Dr. Libow claimed to have addressed
47 African health ministers at a 2007 conference
and to be in touch with West African
governments and their advisers. W.H.O. said
THESE CLAIMS ARE FALSE. Dr. Laibow HAS
NEVER BEEN TO AFRICA.
(5): The New York Times repeatedly has tried to
contact Dr. Laibow who claimed that her drug
cured Nigerian doctor but Dr. Laibow is nowhere
to be seen. Agents of the U.S. FDA are hunting for
her.
(6): Assistant Director of W.H.O., Dr. Marie-Paule
Kieny, said fraudsters are targeting African
nations “AND SUCCEEDING BECAUSE OF LARGE
NUMBER OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO
CLAIM MIRACLE HEALING.”
(7): FDA’s Dr. Caplan said the same people who
marketed fake HIV cure-drugs to Africans for 30
years are now marketing fake Ebola cure to
Africans “BECAUSE OF THE STUPIDITY OF
AFRICAN RELIGIOUS GROUPS WHO ARE TEMPTED
TO CLAIM MIRACLE CURE.”

A match made in heaven hell!

USA are looking to use Nigerian population for medical experiments that they can not use laboratory monkeys and other animals to do.

Nigerians are willing to offer themselves up for medical experiments that USA does not need to carry out on their laboratory animals.

sweet!!
