ThankGod for their lives

Cool.... Three more patients awaiting their fate.... Keep fighting, comrades.. Y'all shall survive it.

It is surely getting better.

Thanks to God. The medical team appears to be doing a good job. There's hope for Nigeria afterall.

Proudly Nigerian. Thank God for His mercies towards them and the country. This Ebola brought some level of patriotism among Nigerians. The federal government and the Lagos state government have tried a lot. Not withstanding our problems, I think that there is a big light at the end of the tunnel for this country. God bless Nigeria
