University rescinds conference invitation for Nigerians amid concerns about spread of deadly virus from West Africa.

A South Korean university has rescinded an invitation for three Nigerians to attend a conference and a group of South Korean medical volunteers has called off a trip to West Africa amid growing concerns about the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

The Duksung Women's University in Seoul said in a statement the school "politely withdrew" its invitation for three Nigerian students to attend an international conference that it is co-hosting with the UN starting from Monday.

Fear about a possible spread of the deadly virus had prompted a student from the university to post a plea on the country's presidential office web site, asking for the cancellation of the entire event.

The university has said it was going ahead with the conference to be attended by students, including 28 from Africa.

Since February, more than 700 people in West Africa have died from Ebola, a hemorrhagic virus with a death rate of up to 90 percent of those infected.

South Korea on Monday issued a special travel advisory asking people to refrain from visiting Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, while a group of South Korean medical volunteer workers scrapped an annual trip to African countries including Ivory Coast and Ghana that was scheduled for August.

South Korean bloggers have posted online petitions, including one urging South Korean missionaries working in the region to be barred from returning home.

West African leaders agreed last week to take stronger measures to try to bring the worst outbreak of Ebola under control and prevent it spreading outside the region, including steps to isolate rural communities ravaged by the disease.

A group of protesters in Monrovia, the Liberian capital, demonstrated against the spread of the outbreak on Sunday, calling on authorities to remove the bodies of those killed more quickly.

Borders on red alert

Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris, reporting from Abuja, said soldiers had been deployed in Nigeria to make sure the bodies of victims were buried immediately, amid warnings of eating meat from wild animals such as bats and monkeys.

Nigeria, which diagnosed its first case of the virus only last week, has placed all of its ports and borders on red alert.

Earlier, on Saturday, the Dubai carrier Emirates became the first major international airline to impose a ban in response to the outbreak by suspending flights to Guinea.

Also, in line with guidelines from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the World Health Organisation, several major airlines and international airports have started health screening passengers on flights from West Africa.

But IATA said on Thursday the WHO was not recommending travel restrictions or border closures, and there would be a low risk to other passengers if an infected person flew.

Nigeria's largest airline Arik Air, which flies to a limited number of international destinations including London, has stopped flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Pan-African airline Asky was suspended by Nigeria's civil aviation authorities for bringing the first Ebola case to the country's largest city, Lagos.

This is bad image on the country. They are making it seems as if Ebola Originated from Nigeria itself. Someone called from Italy telling me that Nigeria is the source of Ebola and that the news is all over italy. Even his co-workers are scared of approaching her or shaking hands with her. Is it that the world is waiting for every bad news to come out of Nigeria ni.......

Obinoscopy,Mukina2,Mynd44,Seun please I'ld like to know why this thread made the Fp considering the fact that it was created at 11:25 am. But this https://www.nairaland.com/1842029/ebola-nigerians-kicked-out-conference was created as early as 8:26 am. This is absurd. Please I don't like that. Not at all.

Nawa!

Nonody wants to catch skibbo.
By the way, it does not matter whether they ban people or not.
If this turns into a pandemic ,Ebola is going to eventually catch up with them.

Just a single problem that has become grobal threat. Ebola,man can easily fear you but refuses to fear the Almighty God.

I broke the news on this forum first..So why should a topic that is 3hrs late make the homepage while mine is allowed to go into oblivion. I use the search bar before creating any thread to make sure the topics hasn't been posted earlier. I don't cry over split milk but Seun should take note. Obinoscopy is perhaps the only reasonable S.Mod we have around here{I don't know about the others} but he don dey fall my hand.

Has anyone actually been confirmed to have contracted this disease in Nigeria?..

I'm tired of hearing Ebola everytime on the news, blogs, BB broadcasts, TV, etc. O Lord please let this all go away. Here in Africa, we cannot control epidemics.

NOT GOOD AT ALL

Don't the Koreans know the difference between one (1) case recorded in Nigeria in relation to the over 700 stated and haven't they heard of quarantine process before?

Nigerians are too 'blasé' about these misinformation that tarnish our reputation. We have to fight them. It Is no longer okay just to think that since you're an isoko man outsiders can say whatever they like about Nigeria.

The outside world cant be bothered to differentiate. Nigeria has become to them another word for African. So, just as all prostitutes in Europe and Asia are referred to as Nigerians, so too, if we don't fight it, will all Ebola sufferers be Nigerians. Believe it or not when they see Liberia, Guinea, etc on their Tv's they think Nigeria.

The fact that many Africans cant be bothered to dispel the automatic belief of the questioner that he or she is Nigerian has not helped us.

We don't have to suffer that price just because we're popular.

Nah wahala o

one Liberian how many Nigerian... aah...let's try and go back to our traditional herb for now and pray at least we are not doing evil
