eleojo23: It's quite unfortunate that Africa continues to be plagued by problems. These problems have continued to expose the cracks in our systems. I believe we can learn something from all of these and that is to make our institutions stronger (eg. the health care system), invest in ventures (eg. research and science) that will make us self-reliant and enable us to manage unforseen occurrences such as this in the future. It's about time we wake up to reality. Africa's progress lies solely in the hands of Africans and I do hope we rise up to the challenge by thinking objectively, coming up with and executing strategic plans to tackle the problems that have stared us in the face for so long.

Black people dont know how to run a nation ,we are suffering the aftermath ...

you think it is a conspiracy huh!, lemme juggle your memory, when SARS came to china shortly after the result of their buoyant economic and population growth, Pundits like you said the same thing, guess what!! an airborne respiratory infection was contained and defeated. let me quickly ask you? was china bothered who brought it upon them? they took the challenge and quelled all threat, no other neighboring Asian country recorded an outbreak except for very few isolated cases.

Are you aware the volume of trade and foreign investments in Guinea, Liberia and sierra Leone? never Mind the fact that you think that the west will hurt an economy like ours which is practically surviving on foreign aid and investments? of course you don't know that part which qualifies you as ignorant!!

How did Sawyer get into the country when the WHO red alert for West Africa on Ebola was released in February 2014? Is it possible that the leadership you voted to power may have been sleeping while Ghana, Ivory coast and ordinary Senegal were all taking precautions? at least till august this year, none of these countries have recorded a single case however close they are to the Epicenter of the virus, conspiracy or not.
You didn't see the Administrative lapse here? you are even worse than I thought, you lack common sense amongst all your numerous frailties.

Still on the case of Sawyer, the doctor restrained Sawyer because she suspected he had Ebola, from that moment, it was expected that Sawyer would have been on quarantine with minimum exposure to people, guess what, first consultant does not have a quarantine facility, is it only made for Ebola? NO, ordinary TB deserves quarantine which happens to be the Killer opportunistic infection for HIV and Aids patients, in Lagos alone, over 3.8 million people are living with HIV, does it not bother you that Ministry of Health a subset of the govt you voted approved a substandard health care facility, that Administrative error is the reason why an NNPC staff who was an out patient at the time sawyer was admitted is struggling with her life,
Your inability to see this error makes you a m0r0n.
In a standard quarantine facility, there should be Bio hazard suits, are you not bothered that the same error above is the reason we cant even get volunteers to assist in the curtail of the Ebola menace?


Does it not bother you that Justina one of the nurses who made contact with sawyer was able to leave the quarantine zone and travel as far as Enugu to infect her boyfriend? my guess is that the quarantine zone has no security or, the patients there practically fend for themselves at least to have a reason to leave, your inability to spot this qualifies you as dumb.
whose responsibility is it to provide security for quarantine zones, America?

This is what people like you do, you go out there and vote a dumb person, when he manifests his buffoonery, you run to either the church seeking the face of your creator (even though he counsels you against making such mistake) OR you put it on America.

Corruption in the army has broken your last line of defense, it wont be long before boko haram goes on a killing spree, who will you blame then? let me guess, Britain!

A man who refuses to fix culpability where it belongs is not worthy to live, calling you a m0r0n is understating the obvious!!

I am very aware the conspiracy opinion you spewed there was yours and you expect it to be respected, however, considering your mental state (ignorant, m0r0nic and brazen loss of common sense), don't you think it is wise for you to Shut the fvck up in public!!

[sub]Forgive my out burst, I am allergic to reading from fvctards who lack the ability to connect the dots....

All this sermon is highly unnecessary and the insults show your lack of maturity. He has a right to his opinion. Not everyone is an azz kisser to America like you are. Perhaps, you were living a poverty-stricken life in Nigeria before americans allowed you live in their country. So right about now, you must kiss their azz in order to score brownie points. For your information, it takes an arrogant person to know one. If you think you made any sense with your long sermon, think again. Every nairalander is entitled to his/her opinion no matter how crazy their opinion might sound to you. If you cannot stand other people's opinion and want to burst an artery, then I suggest you log out of the internet and find yourself something worthwhile to do. It ain't that serious!

Simba757: Nigeria for the first time became Africa's largest economy and the deadliest strain of ebola appeared in west africa for the first time!
Apart from the cursed Patrick Sawyer another Liberian is reported to have the virus in Lagos.
How these cursed Liberians cross over four countries -Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo & Benin Rep - to target Nigeria begs for a big explanation no matter their 'means' of travel.
Considering the pathetic ties Liberia has with their former slave masters and the west's obvious fear of a strong black Africa, A GRAND CONSPIRACY may not be far from the truth here.

perfect....about time some harsh words gets thrown at this conspiracy theorists who simply refuse to see the folly in the actions....they blame everyone for their issues and refuse to see their own failings...that is why you have people blaming their mother-in-laws,sisters and mothers for the failure in their lives without taking into consideration how shambolic their so called life has become due to their laziness..I might have used more subtle words to save the man from having a catastrophic breakdown but well,you have spoken very well..Nigerians need to wake up to their own stupidity and maybe then they will see the real reason why they are where they are

Simba757:

Easy bro, we have seen countless conspiracies against Africa. I may have gone too far refering to the two Liberian victims as "cursed"- not Liberia as a country though - based on the innocent nigerians who have paid with their lives. But you spilling out such pathetic statements against me would not help the matter. The earlier we become aware of the vices of the west the safer we become.

What conspiracy's against Africa?? Please tell me. You mean something you read from some random website or what someone told you? Goodness!! People believe everything they read from the Internet these days. So pathetic. But oh well, I guess it's fashionable for one to blame the West for everything this days.

Oh wake up to what? That we don't have accountable and good governments? Uhn? That instead of us voting the right people into power, that we still keep on voting the wrong people in? Please tell me? Was it the west that selected your president or appointed your minister of health? Was it the west that told your country how to mismanage your resources? Pray, do tell me.
Oh well, I guess it's fashionable to blame the west for almost everything that happens in the world today.
