How can Fashola a lawyer by profession b talking on hw he will send both federal nd state health workers in his state to another country for humanitarian purpose without d concept of d federal? I hope he does not get more than he bargained for in return? Its not every thing dt is played politics with. Dis is quit expensive you know?

We should not be afraid. The same God who helped us to curtail the sickness in Nigeria will go with the Lagos state officials and see them through unhurt in Sierra Leone. Thank your Governor Fashola for having a large heart of love.

hmn, the health personnel should be extra careful as well as the volunteers.

Nigeria keep showing her potential as a country destined for greatness. Just a single State in Nigeria making international input of this magnitude is a tell-tale sign of the vast potential of this behemoth of a country. small it isn't for small countries at all.

Why must we politicize everything?

Pls reason with me

1. Until ebola is eradicated in sierra Leone (SL), the risk of someone travelling from SL to Nigeria to reinfect is just a flight away. The US thot they were immune until the same thing happened to them. We are not free and safe in our 'cocoon' until SL is free of ebola.

2. SL obviously cant handle this scourge and that is partly because contact tracing is poor and health facilities are overwhelmed

3. Structures are not the problem alone but medical workers and know how too.

4. Lagos state & Nigeria had a mock exam that they passed. They have 2 options here - Wait for the big breakout to come to Naija or go to the source to help them contain it. Nigerians on ground can also keep an out eye for Nigeria.

5. LSG cant force anyone to go to SL. They will ask for volunteers (who will be handsomely paid). These volunteers will be moved by greed or companion or a need to do something other than complain on NL.

6. Volunteers who have counted the cost will then go to SL to join the fight and hopefully win it there before it comes back to a country of 170 million people.

7. 99% of Nigerian will curse you for even asking them to volunteer for this project but, there are few people with the heart of M. Theresa and Ghandi who want to help. If LSG can coordinate them and send them to the epi-center then let them go.

8. All health workers coming back to the country will be placed in quarantine for 21 days to ensure they are not infected. During this period, they will continue to be paided their volunteer 'gbem' salary.


9. LSG is not a separate entity from Nigeria, but that doesn't stop them from offering help without jumping the hoops of bureaucracy in Abuja. They were touched by this first hand and would naturally understand and have more compassion than others who only heard with the hearing of their ear. Just ask Fashola and he can tell you how many sleepless nights he had during the ebola period while we all slept snugly in our beds.

10. I think we need to give this a chance. Imagine if all the expatriate health workers were discouraged by their countries from coming to help Nigeria? Imagine if all the local health workers who eventually joined the CDC team to tackle ebola were discouraged and disparaged by their families. IMAGINE IF NO HEALTH WORKER STOOD UP TO WORK THE NIGERIAN EBOLA CASES because of comments and attitudes just like these?



You have my respect for this intelligent write up. We all know that the best form of defence is to attack. If we fold our hands and not do all that we can to stop it from the source sooner or later it would come back to us in drones. It has been predicted that by December there would be more than 10,000 new infections per week. With our porous borders how do we think we can prevent it from re-entering our country? Everything doesn't have to be politicized. This is what a government with foresight would do to protect its citizens not the fire brigade approach we did the last time.

I remember like 4 months back, Doctors without Borders warned the World of the need to contain Ebola quickly, but nobody paid any attention thinking it was none of there business; now they know better. Someone has to take the leadership initiatives to do something to save our race from this monster and we all need to encourage and pray for them and not all these selfish statements that people are making. May God bless and protect all who are involved in the fight against Ebola.

Thank God for the success so far recorded. Nigeria is a giant elephant in the forest. I applaud our government for show utmost concern, the media for their widely circulated news reportage, Hospitals for their Emergency care and caution...the general public for their ability to follow and observe prescribed procedures.

We all made it happen.

This is another opportunity to re-instate that pre-cautionary measures are still very important to ensure there is no reoccurance of this epidermic.

I appeal to the general publics, organizations and govt parastatals to continue using Sanitary equipments that was recommended.

Soap/Sanitizers and their automatic dispensers, infrared non contact body thermometer. They are relatively affordable.

However, Our company offers these products at best prices...with home delivery around Lagos.

Wall-mountedAutomatic Soap/Sanitizer Dispenser (600ml) - 4000, (700ml) - 4500.

Infrared non-contact body thermometer - 4500.

Attached herewith are the photos of the products in review.
