All hands must be on deck to curtail the spread of the disease. Hospital management must make sure all secondary contact of the index case are properly quarantine and monitored. No single person should be left out. Ebola can be brought under control. If little Uganda did it, Nigeria can surely do it.
Nigerian government need to collaborate with our west African neighbors Cameroon, Niger, Benin, Chad and Togo on how to curtail spread of Ebola through the borders. There's no point working hard to curtail the disease only to be spread through the land borders. This is my major concern. Most of our borders are crowded, dirty, and are lacking sanitary facilities. A lot has to be done to make sure that the borders are not just clean but also Ebola free.

If you are Nigerian, please do not believe any of these Ebola stories unless you can trace them to a credible sources and do not believe those that would dismiss your fears as conspiracy theories because there are indeed forces out there determined to destroy your Nation. Don't help to make their task easier by helping them paint Nigeria as if it was an Ebola ridden place. You true Nigerians are the ones that will suffer for it.

In fact, it is getting to a stage were any more Ebola tale is counter productive even if true and the Moderators should start now preventing any more Ebola tales from being posted.

am tired of this Ebola story. the minister should be specific about the information the are given to the public. we are confused about what to believe. hmmmmmmmm

One of the most sensible comments

barcanista: Nigerians DO NOT PANIC

#It Is Well

many dumb posters here.

the new infections are not random infections, they are the spouses of the primary infected nurses.

the nurses must have been infected by mr monster paTRICK sawyer then gone home afterwards..when he was finally confirmed, the nurses were quarantined and tested along with their immediate family or anybody they could have come in close contact with, the nurses tested positive first because they came in contact withy him first and because of the amount of the viral load, cos the dude was reported to have urinated and on the nurses.

they new cases developed in quarantine, not on the streets, actually the health ministry tried in the containment and public enlightenment concerning this virus.

If you call it a case of deductive reasoning.... so what are you?

hotmolo: Dis is what that pear shaped head of a man has caused... Mr man are u happy now where ever u are? May God save us

I don't blame Patrick Sawyer that much, but Labaran Maku. In April Maku boasted that Nigeria had healthy facilities to combat the Ebola virus. This is the reason I don't blame the wife of Sawyer who said her husband came to Nigeria in search of treatment because of his lack of confidence in the health sector of Liberia. The late Sawyer might have been "convinced" by the comment of Maku. It now behoves Jonathan to call Maku to order on his utterances. David Mark once complained about Maku's incessant comments that are unguarded.

Lagos state built and owns the isolation center, they know those who ar there and their condition. The health minister and FG should cover their heads in shame

pls see to this thread

is premium times trying to vindicate itself?

especially premium times and vanguard. its like those papers will gain something from painting nigeria as ebola ridden country.

OUCH!!!!

This is not the time to play politics. The health minister keeps changing his figures every now and then. Doesn't fill me with confidence. If he does not know what he is doing, he should resign or be sacked. He is after all a direct reflection of his aides.

That's what we get when we allow a reaction based govt to run our affairs. I thought the secondary contacts would av been isolated and tested extensively by now. Let the FG come in and show real seriousness if it goes beyond Lagos it all responsibility will finally rest on our 2015 focused Centre shoulders.

vicadex07: ...in other news, President Goodluck Jonathan is in Germany at the moment. He was reported to have developed a strange toothache yesterday and was immediately flown out of the country to receive medical treatment.

how sure are you? If he is in Nigeria,,what would he have done,,,to come and hug them i guess. SMH

u just keep typing rubbish maybe to gain likes or you personally hate him

POINT OF CORRECTION....SUSPECTED CASE IS DIFFERENT FROM CONFIRMED CASE.....THAT MAY BE THE REASON FOR THE CONFLICTING FIGURES...LET'S READ WITH UNDERSTANDING

Sir, u are enlightened!

4bobo: God help us. Nonetheless, I thought he was arguing that we have no new cases when the Lagos commissioner gave his reports . They wanted to be playing useless politics on Ebola which I think it is not right for now. I knew the liar will soon manifest.
To the new victims, God will make them to recover fast. our able late doctor had paid the price. No one will die of Ebola again.
The next news I want to hear is that so...so... and so....discharged from ebola isolated center having tested negative. it happened before, it happened in America yesterday and it will happen again in Nigeria. It shall come to pass in Jesus name Amen.

Please can you state the figures he changed, thank you.

Yet another failure record for the vagabonds in power. They had to wait to record an ebola case before taking any action on ebola!

If only the vagabonds in power had been proactive

If only we don't have a clueless president surrounded by corrupt lazy bones...
...
Things prolly wouldn't have gone this bad.

If we secure our borders, set up quarantine and testing facilities and screen every single traveller, we will get over this fast. Also, contact tracing should be thoroughly done and timely!

Bh has left the headlines...it is now ebola...when shall we be free from all this wahala

rattlesnake: They will.not die in Jesus name

Amen.

U don't need to make a joke out of what can mislead the public

How come Sawyer's spouse is not infected?

fkaz: Why back and forth from federal govt?

Don't display your ignorant here. Are you not aware that Ebola is contacted by body fluid? the article said the new cases are spouses of primary contacts that are late now. it means husband has contacted the virus from the wife.

...the FG makes jokes off the common man everyday. They are always saying one stupid thing or the other everyday cos they probably see many of us as fools.

You must be an e-diot for quoting me for this your silly post.

Everybody knows GEJ is a failure...stop defending the clueless one out of tribal or religious sentiment.
