My question is, is there still anyone out there living with this virus without been quarantined?


It's high time I stopped panic about this Ebola of a thing. One thing I know is that I will live long to glorify the glory of God and besides what I concerned myself with is, where am I going if I die to day.... My Nigerian people fear is a disease, it first sinks in the heart b4 it kills. Let's fear God cos, The FOG IS THE BOW

eaglechild: The minister's system of giving information is utterly confusing and very shady.

The minister reeks of incompetence.

The media houses are also compounding issues.

There should be a central source of information.

It doesn't matter how many sources if a party decides to lie, just like the Minister always does

shakol91: Commissioner gave a live report from the base "Lagos" but Honorable Minister somewhere in FCT (maybe in Aso Rock; house of clowns) is busy disputing facts.
Ebola is a national case. ur base commissioner should have spoken to the minister b4 going public.

Litmus: 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 who try to dismiss your fears as conspiracy theories because there are indeed forces out there determined to destroy you country. 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 duffer for it.


Oh..if only they will understand this simple message the problem is they won't. They are crowded and misguided by this same people already. Only the wise ones see the true picture of everything.

Kalzeubet Payimi Deubet, Chad's prime minister, said on Thursday his country would close its border with Nigeria to prevent Ebola entering the country


Those countries are starting to suffer shortages of fuel, food and basic supplies due to these measures, it warned this week

WHO says 70 died from hemorrhagic illness in DRC; denies outbreak is Ebola

outbreak of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, the World Health Organization said on Thursday, denying that the illness was Ebola.At least 70 people have died in northern Democratic Republic of Congo


The outbreak began in the remote jungle province of Equateur, where the first case of Ebola was reported in 1976, prompting speculation that it was the same illness that has killed more than 1,350 people in West Africa and continues to spread.


Symptoms of the two diseases are similar, including vomiting, diarrhea and internal bleeding. But the fatality rate for this outbreak of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is much lower than for the West Africa Ebola outbreak — 12 percent versus close to 60 percent.

The medical charity Doctors Without Borders said it has also sent a team to Equateur to assess the situation. The group said it was too early to confirm what the disease was.

Congo does not share a border with any of the West African countries affected by Ebola. But the country has seen several outbreaks since the first case was detected near the Ebola River in northern Congo in 1976.

Experimental Ebola drug ZMapp highlights new field of plant-made drugs, which are inexpensive to produce

Still, with the Ebola epidemic shedding light on the benefits of plant-made pharmaceuticals, the companies that are making them hope the interest in ZMapp will push the industry forward.


As was the case with ZMapp, many companies settled on the tobacco plant as the ideal host for bioengineered proteins because it grows so quickly and produces a high yield.

Sudan to monitor arrivals from West Africa for Ebola



The virus is endemic to Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, South Sudan and Gabon, and scientists initially believed that Central Africa’s Zaire strain of the virus was responsible for the outbreak.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the world’s worst outbreak of Ebola in West African nations — with 1,779 cases and 962 deaths — will likely continue for months as the region’s healthcare systems struggle to cope. It has appealed urgently for funding and emergency medical staff.

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.
I don't know why they are playing politics with people over ebola issue. Why should Chukwu tell us to disregard idris, does he know that we should be enlightened on any issue concerning ebola. Chukwu be deceiving us since this ebola came in to naija.

candy: 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!

If only job-less people like you will shut your gutter and find out what efforts are being made by the Nigerian govt. Nairaland will be a lot better place without "saints" like you.
