Hahaha, read the hand writing on the wall, fashola is just talking, there is no team to be sent..these people re politicians..they have lots of tactics and diplomacy...

Over sabi sabi go soon kill this fashola

cococandy:
Is Fashola projecting lagos state as a seperate entity from the Nigerian state?

You can't blame him, afterall Jonathan said when you are in Lagos, you're almost in Nigeria.

Oga Fash, That God helped us to eradicate Ebola no mean say we go use our hand go find am.



Btw, Na so we dey fear for dis country?

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?

idithlove:
Y shouldn't Nigerians b scaredwen they go ova dia n get infected,wia r they gona run to?Nigeria!!!!!.Les nt forget dt it was because of God's mercy dt we wia able to manage d situation hia.So let's be careful

this poster's moniker is self explanatory, bitterness and hatred is all he or she or it has ever known..he is bitter against igbos, against God and probably against the weather for his seemingly hopeless life..sorry we can't help you, you can vent out your frustration on NL though (if it makes you feel any better)

I hope u can efficiently screen them to ensure they don't bring back the Virus to Naija. Abeg oh, no do pass your power to gain recognition (political capital)

The Lagos State Government seems to have always set the pace when it comes to issues like this. The rapid response approach the government employed when the virus crossed from Liberia to Nigeria, is arguably the primary reason Nigeria is free from Ebola. Some may argue that Nigerians, not State or Federal governments, help brought Ebola to its knees in this country, the reality is that, had the Lagos State government, alongiside its Rivers State counterpart (mentioning the two because these were the places first hit by the virus), not provided the resources, the manpower, and the ground for the people to be confident in fighting the disease, we would not have won the war. Now, the LSG is sending out health-workers (or is it health troops) to help our brothers and sisters in Liberia. All we need to do as citizens is to encourage the health workers and the government of Lagos rather than create fear and discouragement. Long Live Lagos State, Long Live Nigeria!

temitemi1:
More outbreak is await Nigeria then!!! because God help us erradicate am fashola dey tink sey nah dos pple skills, make dem no cum back until ebola is totally eradicated frm west Africa

If it would come back to Nigeria(God forbid), it won't be via health workers but the Nigerians living and doing businesses across west Africa. Do you know that there are many Nigerians in Sierra Leone, Liberia and guinea ?

The federal government has slept through it all but, someone has to do the job. Thank God for Fashola!

NairaMode:
Cool stuff.
Just wondering why Fashola has taken this upon himself.
This is a Federal Government task..

Lagos Politicians don dey find way to complete that money way them borrow.. N160 Billion Naira... As work no dey Lagos again so them wan give people free ride or die money ...

Yeah.
Very productive dude.

Fashola would want to prove a point with his heady personality. He should better equip them well and ensure they don't bring back the disease to Nigeria

Fashola, take care o, abi wats d meaning of dis initial giragira. God did nt annoint u as d president of naija o. Allow d annoited one to make dis decision b4 u put d live of over 170 millions in jeopady.

BRF my guy, tread softly abeg. U shouldn't be sending our people to Ebola conclaves....I know its good to do good but........hmmmmm

Don't mind those saying Nigeria can teach d world how to manage Ebola...na wash oh!
My humble submission
