SporaD8: Thanks for the adjustment.
...but for the sake of everything that is good, why is this dude fashola not yet operating at federal level?
A big fish is swimming in shallow waters here!

For a state with 70% of the country's industries and head quarters of all the banks, telecoms firms, down stream petroleum firms, with the biggest airport and sea port and 60% of the corporate work force he is operating at a level not less than the vice president. In a sane society, Fashola or Tinubu, whichever of them that controls Lagos ought to be more influential than even your so called federal guys. Take for example, the mayor of just New York city was termed by Forbes magazine as the fifth most influential political position in the US. That's New York city alone because of its financial clout world wide. So dude, better respect the guy.

Missy89:

Yes . States can collaborate with foreign countries. many states in Nigeria collaborate with governments abroad for local projects without the federal govt

An astute response.

Isn't it just mind boggling that some non entity sitting in his ramshackle squalor in Isolo (apologies to all Isoloites, it's really a wonderful place I'm sure) is going to try to come across as an expert on the state that I've been living in continuously before he was born?

FrankC3: No country approaches a State within another sovereign country for any kind of help. Besides, the EVD control center in Lagos is not run by the LASG, it is being managed by the Ministry of Health. Liberian Government cannot approach Lagos State government for any kind of help, same way Nigeria cannot approach the California State for any kind of help.

The best that happened in this case is that the LASG collaborated with the efforts of the Federal Ministry of Health. The Director should not pretend that LASG was responsible for the EVD control efforts, no. FMH was. State Ministries of Health supported mainly from enlightenment drive, the very type that the director was doing when he/she made that statement.

When did you escape from Sambisa captivity? Lagos govt has it all! Facilities, personnel,the whole system of efective tracking was and is Lagos. Funding (FG 200m came AFTER one month). The ONLY thing FG has is testing center-LUTH which is easily available in Redeemers' UNiversity.

Tofax: Honestly, sometime I wonder the kind of educated people on this forum. You mean Lagos state can act in isolation in dealing with other countries without the permission of the federal government?

Where did you read it or receive education that told you that Lagos state can't assist other nations without FG permit? What matters most is the Subject Matter, that's, it must not be a deal that will undermine the FG efforts. And assisting foreign nations in area of health is not one of them. Mr Education.

CityNG:

If you are very smart you would have kept abreast of developments from the beginning. But as the dunce that you are, you are late to the game as usual. It has been stated time after time that (a) it has not been tested on human yet, (b) it is against the law (in countries with a functioning legal system of which Nigeria is not which is the root cause of your inability to function correctly personally) to sell medicine that has not been approved by the FDA (c) the medicine was in short supply with only 6 doses I think on hand.

2) When you have to guess on debate you should graciously bow out and accept your ineptness and defeat. Don't wade into uncharted waters that your mental capacity is not yet developed to handle.

3) Thank you Sir. Coming from you and based on how you've handled yourself on this debate and your total lack of gumption, international education, lack of any wit, I take that as a complete compliment.

4) It's only 1030AM not night yet for me besides you're not going anywhere. Your bruised ego will not allow you to sleep.
Guy like seriously, just shut up already. Your ignorance is so annoying, especially when you feign like you understand what you are arguing about. It is so obvious you don't know jack about the politics surrounding the Ebola containment in Nigeria.

Like Frank already pointed out, LSG can only offer any meaningful assistance through through the involvement of FMH cos this is a pure case of National security. There is no how FG will let Lagos give assistance that might jeopardize the health security of any Nigerian, that is the truth. Ebola is not Malaria or common fever.

And Zmapp was not giving to Nigeria because of the US government politics not that nonsense you wrote up there. In case you do not know, all those pharmaceuticals involved with research on the Ebola virus are being funded by the US military. Tekmira in Canada to Fujifilms in Japan and Mapp pharmaceuticals, they are all being funded by the US military and government, so shut up and talk about what you know.

FG involvement with the containment of Ebola in Nigeria really did a lot to curtail it whether you choose to admit it or not. Before they got involved, it took LASG a wooping 2-3 days to test and confirm if one was infected with the virus. Until FG came a set up CDC laboratory centers in Lagos, Abuja, portharcourt, Enugu Zaria, Ibadan and the likes. Sensitization programs were largely coordinated by FG.

The truth be told, FG arrive at the scene very late. N200 million was released to Lagos state government just few days ago. While the much talked about N1.something billion is meant for purchasing vehicles. Shame!

lawrsmith: you're speaking as if LAS is using their resources in fighting the Ebola disease. you and i knew how much federal government budgeted for lagos state in order to contain the EVD. why given Fashola and lagos state government the credit you suppose to give federal government?
As always, FG distributes funds and leave it to either be used judiciously or embezzled.....without asking for feed back.

I don't recall any FG official running around Lagos inspecting isolation centers, constantly appearing on TV to educate the masses, neither were there an influx of medical experts from Abuja or from any part of d country to come co-ordinate health workers in Lagos.

Some people here were also insulting Fashola's isolation wards for looking like makeshifts when he went around to inspect the work done......which I had to start posting on how "makeshift" tents were needed due to the urgent nature of the disease.

Why are victims from other parts relocated to Lagos?? Is the Federal Ministry of Health not present in other parts??

FG just release money, kudos to the Lagos State Govt for making the most out of it.

While we were in the thick of it, no one saw it as a FG effort back then, it was more as if some people were waiting for Fashola to fail so that all hell can break loose or start blaming him.

When Fashola was being insulted for being pro-active and his efforts, the general reply then was "Was is your Governor doing to curb Ebola". They even saw it as an APC state thing.....

If it was most states in the frontline, hundreds might have died by now. Thank your Gods that it wasn't most other Governors that encountered it firsthand.

I'm sure deep down inside you all, you know this but just won't admit it.

And what prevented the company that produced Zmapp from giving it to Nigeria?

Your guess is as good as mine.

I'm sorry to say this sir!! But you're not very smart

Good night


To answer your first sentence... Zmapp was funded by the US military as part of their biological weapons defense program and so could not have been sold to anyone without government approval..

Erm.. how did Fashola judiciously make use of funds that were never his to spend? Or are you implying that Fashola has access to the budgetary allocations of the Federal Ministry of Health?

And who told you those whoa powered actively setting up shop to fight ebola in Lagos were workers of the state and not federal?

And Lagos was the epicenter of in the fight against Ebola because Lagos was where patient zero (Sawyer) first landed.

Nobody is saying Fashola did nothing against Ebola, but the bulk of it is Federal. Infact, States have very little jurisdiction in this issue as it is a matter of national security.

So you want the Health officials from the FCT and other states to come and inform you at the comfort of your home that they have arrived LAGOS to fight Ebola before you believe that they helped out.

PointB: Nigeria has an obligation to Nigerian citizens to assist other West African nations (Liberia, Sierra Leone, etc) to combact and reign in this deadly virus. If these countries get overwhelmed, there is no border control that will stop expose people, who have the means, from seeking succor in other countries like Nigeria.
Either we take the fight to Liberia and Sierra Leone or eventually fight it here in Nigeria. Time to act is NOW!
