Jonathan And Other Delegates To Be Screened For Ebola In Washington- Obama by OtunbaJega: 7:08am On Aug 02, 2014 |
President Obama said Friday that some attendees of next week’s summit of African countries will receive health screenings for the deadly Ebola virus. “With respect to the summit itself, we’re talking the appropriate precautions,” Obama said during an afternoon news conference at the White House while discussing the Ebola outbreak in Africa. Obama said screenings will be done for “folks who are coming from these countries that have even a marginal risk or an infinitesimal risk of having been exposed in some fashion.” Such screenings, he said, will be done as attendees leave their countries. “Additional screening” will occur for some as they arrive in the United States, Obama said. “We feel confident the procedures we put in place are appropriate,” he said. The U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit is scheduled for Monday through Wednesday of next week. The White House is billing the event as the first such gathering of its kind. “At its core, this Summit is about fostering stronger ties between the United States and Africa,” reads the Obama administration website about the event. Obama has issued invitations for the summit to leaders in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone — the three countries experiencing the Ebola outbreak. But The Washington Times reported Thursday that the leaders of all three countries have decided against coming to the summit. Because of the highly-contagious disease, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has announced that certain borders of the country will be closed until the outbreak stops. In the United States, one congressman, Florida Rep. Alan Grayson, has asked the Obama administration to restrict travel into the country for anyone who lives or has recently visited the three countries suffering from the breakout. But two Americans infected with the virus are being evacuated back home from Africa to the United States, according to news reports. Those infected include Kent Brantly, a doctor from Texas, and Nancy Writebol, a missionary, who became sick while in Liberia. That means for the first time ever, people infected with the deadly Ebola virus will be inside the borders of the United States. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij90EjI3nQE http://dailycaller.com/2014/08/01/obama-attendees-of-africa-summit-will-be-screened-for-ebola/ |

That is not the actual implication of that statement. African Presidents and other Presidents cannot be subjected to any form of screening cos they have diplomatic immunity. |

How many times has jona visited the states? You can't beat the excitement on his face whenever he visits washington. It is like a 5 year old visiting father christmass. Freaking a countrys top officials including the president is not just demeaning, it is a national humuliation. Since the Americans are known to latch on any enticing excuse to humuliate foreing leaders from countries they don't regard that much, one expected jonathan to press the pulse button on his endless juncketing jamboree till this ebola nonsense subsides. But he won't. He must attend every summit, visit every country and emberass the country at every capital with his outlandish entourage full of vile men. It is so unfair 1 Like |

If I were this guy called Jonathan, would sit my ass back here in Nigeria ... We have too many issues already besetting this Nation at this point in time! ... Chibok girls still in captivity, wave of female suicide bombers, Boko haram fresh threat to bomb akwaibom, possible Ebola outbreak in Anambra state, and other issues are even enough reason to boycot this useless leadership summit! The leaders of Liberia and sierralone did the needful by staying back home to avoid unnecessarily humiliation by the US government. |

It is so unfair What is humiliating about making sure that the atmosphere is clear. Are u saying it will be safe for even jonathan to embrace and shake hands with other africans that have not been giving a clean bill of health? Its even more dangerous than the humiliation u cry about. Is it not better to be sure than get infected along the line because u do not want to be humiliated according to u? Medical screening of diplomats is not like what u experience at the lagos airport. With the calibar of pple involved u can only xpect a very high level of decency/professionalism. What u shuld cry about shuld be the large entourage accompanying our president. Jonathan shuld attend the summit with a small delegation. That is my advise.. |

kokoA: so some people have Ebola immunity.. Nobody has immunity from mmalaria or HIV/AIDS, yet they never sreened any African President for those other sicknesses. So why would the US single out Ebola to embarrasse our Presidents? |

The presidents of guinea, liberia and sierra leone didnt go just because of ebola so they can take care of their own problem and avoid disgrace. But jonadullie is travelling with the largest congregation for how many travels now, when his country fights terror and ebola rolled in one. Useless president pursuing Estacode. How low can he get?
