For those that believe that Northerners love themselves more than any other Tribe, let them come close and as these kids are laying down on the floor despite their Brother being the head of State....

Shame on Buhari's regime....

My God am tired of this country God pls move me out by fire by force

Beloved,
This Meningitis outbreak is ravaging unabated; please let's do something....

What do you know about MENINGITIS: its Symptoms, Prevention and Treatment?
---------------------------------------------

MAJOR SYMPTOMS

1. Headache

2. Fever

3. A very strong aversion for light.. The person always looks away from bright light and prefers dark rooms.

4. Difficulty in moving the Neck.. Moving the neck causes severe pains.

5. Previous contact with someone who was diagnosed with meningitis.

Anybody who has most or all of the above symptoms, and currently lives, or recently lived in the areas currently affected by meningitis, should be isolated until treatment is complete.
Especially as we approach festive period when most people travel from different parts of the country, in particular, from states in the Northern Nigeria and other African countries in the Meningitis Belt

--------------------------------------------

PREVENTION

It should be noted, that the most effective form of prevention is VACCINATION with the MENINGOCOCCAL Vaccine. Since this vaccine is currently lacking, Let's highlight other measures.

1. Avoid prolonged personal contact with people suspected, or confirmed to be infected.

2. Avoid sharing personal items with people suspected, or confirmed to be infected.

3. If you suspect that you have, or any loved one has had prolonged contact with anybody who is strongly suspected to have MENINGITIS, please go and take the tablet RIFAMPICIN 600mg TWICE daily for two days.
The Tablet- Rifampicin is mainly used for treating Tuberculosis, but is globally used for prophylaxis against Meningitis. Being a TB drug, it should be widely available in Nigeria.
While the government seeks to generate funds for the meningococcal vaccine, this measure can be life-saving for contacts of those infected.
Please, in addition to the above, kindly go to hospital for further evaluation.

4. If you come down with any of the symptoms above, go to the hospital IMMEDIATELY and avoid people touching you unecessarily.

---------------------------------------------

TREATMENT

Once meningitis is strongly suspected or confirmed, please DO NOT STAY AT HOME. Go to a hospital with facilities where you can get an IV line, isolation room, and the required antibiotics for treatment.

Once you have all or most of the above symptoms, you have no business being at home.

----------------------------------------------

Share as widely as possible in all our different languages as you may save a life.

Remain blessed

Please what's meningitis?

Deicide:
where all those pastors way like to deceive Nigerians

Wetin u want make dem do for you?
Deceive u join?

Fornication was what caused it... according to Mr. Zamfara State governor.

Oh, small headache dem don fly go Germany or UK. Useless political leaders

Is this a general hospital? This is simply wickedness. No hospital bed, no drip-stand, and that kid lying on the bare floor.
How heartless can politicians be, whereas they run to Germany or London to treat common cold.
This is simply callousness, greed, ineptitude and wickedness all combined in the heart and mind of the state government.

Hausa. Even with their obsession with power they are still d most backward tribe in Nigeria. Shame on them

And this is hw we are suppose to combat a deadly disease? God heal this land called Nigeria.

I miss Jonathan. Ebola comes to mind

It seems most people here have poor capacity to understand things. This incident happened in Zamfara state and not the entire Nigeria, use your brains.

The governor of Zamfara state ought to be questioned for this, also the local government chairman in the area where this incident occurred has to answer some questions

TOO BADTOO BADTOO BAD
