The World Health Organization has confirmed a third case of polio in Nigeria, Rotary Club said Monday: a crippled toddler found in an area newly liberated from Boko Haram Islamic extremists.

The West African nation that once was the global epicenter of the wild polio virus had been declared polio-free last year, along with the African continent. But two cases were discovered last month among refugees from areas recently won back by Nigeria's military from Boko Haram.

More cases are expected to be discovered in these areas. It is an indicator that Nigeria's war on polio cannot be won until it overcomes the insurgency by extremists who are violently opposed to Western medicine.

Rotary Club's field coordinator, Aminu Muhammad, told The Associated Press the new case was found in Monguno local government area. The others were further south in Jere and Gwoza. All are in northern Borno state.

Rotary is part of a new emergency immunization drive that vaccinated more than 1.5 million children last week in Borno, where WHO has said the virus has been circulating undetected for five years and where Boko Haram began its Islamic uprising in 2009.

The campaign is to spread across the country, with a plan to reach 25 million children before the end of the year.

But the U.N. Children's Fund has warned that about 1 million children are in areas too dangerous to access.

Nigeria's military has helped with the vaccination drive, which included logistics and other aid from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the United Nations and Britain's Save the Children as well as government health workers. Military helicopters flew vaccines into places too dangerous to reach by road, and truckloads of troops and armored cars escorted vaccinators elsewhere.

Muhammad said they were using "hit and run" tactics to reach kids in areas where Boko Haram is present.

The vaccine drugs would be expensive now with the exchange rate sitting at N420/$ (what an uncaring government we have).

Complete opposite of what we used to be in the recent past. Dear Lord, what have we done to get this in return

Anyway, listening to Ije Enu (Celestine Ukwu), amazing song

Na wa oh... thought this thing was supposed to have been eradicated.

I new all diz gurls wud bring back polio

ALL THESE NAIJA BABES SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE


like if u agree and share if u don't
and quote if u have a different say

Na wa o

Someone should take a second and imagine if Buhari and band were in power during ebola.

Please remember, Lassa fever that occurred during his govt killed about 68 people withing one month

Hmmm. The evil spirit demonic president is rather more interested in sending down troops to the niger delta and declaring war on only God knows who..what a nicompoop!
He came onboard a so called change mantra buh keep doing things the 18th century way whilst been propelled by those brainless apc goons de la afonja..

Gej eradicated polio,buharia CHANGEd it back.

Buhari must go.

M sure 90% pronunced "who"...

Another bad news......

I tot they said Nigeria is a 100% polio free country, nawao, so Nigeria don't know the difference between 100% polio free and 1%polio free,

My opinion

Government be trying to eradicate polio, some girls be bringing it back.

Where re the zombies, will they accuse Jonathan for this?,What wud v happened if ebola came during Fulani master? Is really unfortunate the zombies re not seeing that everythin has gone wrong under their master. They blind, even my father in the grave can see that PMB has run Nigeria aground, but the zombies, no way.

APC is synonymous to Bad luck. May God help us.

No surprises! Come back and remind me when they start blaming PDP and GEJ for this afterall, what else could be the cause of buhari's failed erection?

AHa! they never disappoint do they? It was GEJ's fault polio has re-emerged but somehow when they needed to fraudulently remove GEJ from power, they were able to achieve an almost 100% PVC collection rate for all their voters including their underage voters and IDP's but same miracle couldn't be replicated in immunisation right?!
All right! Remind me when you discover GEJ is the cause of desert encroachment over there!

"Polio came back to Nigeria because Jonathan dee nor save. 16 years of something-something. Oil price affected Polio. We're clearing the rot. What did Jonathan do with 100 dollar oil boom? Dasuki stole the Polio money. Avengers blow pipeline. Polio somthing-something. Change is a process. Polio is a WORD. Saraki must go. I stand with Buhari. Fighting polio. Corruption fighting back. Sai Buhari!"

- Zombies.

Bad news everywhere

There are people that are just too lazy and irresponsible to understand the issues. When Jonathan was in power, a section of Nigeria excluding Gworza, Mungono, Jere and some other parts of Borno state were under the control of Boko haram. Nigeria was declared polio free then because these parts of Borno state were inaccessible for anyone to verify if there were cases of polio or not. Buhari's government has dislodged Boko haram from these areas and now we know Nigeria wasn't really polio free in the first place. Don't we have it better now that there is security in those areas and kids can actually get vaccinated against polio than when we had a President who lied about Nigeria being polio free purely for the purpose of the 2015 general elections? Its sad that Nigerians don't know who their real enemies are. Very sad indeed.

This government is on a serious reverse gear o.
The unprecedented hunger and frustration never do, na to come spice am up with polio.
PMB why Na

Buhari clap 4 yourself.

Another one.....DJ Khaleed



It's Buhari again
