NosaHenry: Hope in our race to carry first on this matter, FG and Lagos state govts are not taken precaution for granted. The speed of discharge is becoming worrisome.

bossladyMo:

The discharged patients had been testing negative for a while. At least 3 different tests were done, over the course of 1-1/2weeks, before they were certified free.

This is first-hand info I'm giving you...

Back to sender in Jesus name. You and your entire family will come in contact with ebola. All the curses in the bible will be your portion in Jesus name. You dare curse whom the Lord Almighty blessed? You are doomed!

Check out the other thread on this health section where this was reported( https://www.nairaland.com/1863292/ebola-four-patients-declared-clean
). I was sad when I saw it and I even prayed it's not true. I pray this healing news is true and permanent, i just had to point out what I read on another thread because we don't know which to believe again!

Let your brain connect with you fingers next time.

donnypool:

we will survive, but you and your family won't

candy:
You know deep witrhin you you can not survive it. You are the first person I will trade words with on NL in a long time now! I assure you you are messing with a wrong person on all fronts. We are so covered by the blood of Jesus and no weapon fashioned against me and my family shall prosper! Ps 91 comes to mind. No plague shall come near our dwelling in Jesus name.

donnypool:

Nigeria is your dwelling, Ebola is here

candy:
Ebola is in naija, it shall not come near me and mine. I will not baanter words with you- I just checked your profile and realised you are not worth my time. Good luck with your treatment.

donnypool:

Ebola is in Naija, where are you then? us or canada?

candy:
Does it matter where I am? What matters is the blood of Jesus is a sure protection for me and my family. Even if I'm not in naija, I love Nigeria and I know that ebola will not overcome Nigerians in Jesus name.
