Kylekent59: All this news were all lies including abuja victims. Plz be sure b4 u post any thing here
All lies you say! Don't let denial be your disease.
Didn't you hear the latest breaking news, one of the patient who was at the same hospital where the liberian man died is in NNPC hospital in Lagos and she got the virus, so that's why the govt shut down nnpc hospital in lag, you say lies too abi?
Ebola in Nigeria is the worst thing that can happen to us now, most of all my earlier assumptions are turning out to be true now. Our weak govt are there beating around the bush, the dumb minister of health is clueless of how to contain the ebola.
Another patient has be comfirmed with ebola in garki hospital in abuja#fact
I heard the ebola patient in nnpc refused to be quarantine at first when she left the hospital the liberian man died, they let her go home and after some days she had fever she went to nnpc hospital and they were treating her of malaria after 4days before she told them she was at the sawyer's hospital, that was when they got her blood tested for ebola. DO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS;
1. Just the way she was infected so many other innocent patients in NNPC would be infected because the doc, nurses must ve touched others unprotective before they knew she had ebola
2. Why did they allow the woman to go(I heard she is very rich) and refuse to be quarantine
All these lapses show Nigeria is in for deep shit

MissMeiya:

You're actually wrong. Salt and water do not just chemically react. The salt dissolves in water and it becomes a salt solution. AKA NaCl solution.

The educational system in Nigeria is a problem.
That should be NaCl.xH2O if I'm right then

Arinze96: That should be NaCl.xH2O if I'm right then

When you mix salt in water, it results in salty water, which is water containing Sodium and Chlorine ions.

This chemcial equation goes both ways.
NaCl + H2O ←→ H2O + Na+1 + Cl-1

Note that ions have a small superscript number indicating their excess charges. Na+1 means the Sodium ion is missing an electron, thus its (+) charge.

Also note that ions are individual atoms, so when the solution is formed, an element like Cl does not need to be a molecule. It is only Cl2 when existing as a gas.

Depending on the mixture and temperature, the water can be salty or the salt can precipitate out and collect on the bottom of the container.

(See Mixtures and Solutions for more about dissolving salt in water.)

Solutions

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures that consist of microscopic particles and even molecules. The solute and solvent in a solution are either both polar or non-polar molecules, under normal conditions.
Vinegar is a homogeneous mixture or solution of water and acetic acid. Salt water is another example of a solution.

(For more information, see Chemical Solutions and Polar and Non-Polar Molecules.)

Acidosis: The Federal Government should declare a state of emergency on the Education sector.


Education in* Nigerian is Scam, Sham, and SHAME!


To think that fellow course mates today stupidly confirmed that they really drank salt water and bathed with warm salty water made me shook my head in hopeless pity for we the so called "leaders of tomorrow"

NgeneUkwenu: This government has failed it's citizens in all facet of life!

Imagine, instead of focusing on campaign to promote awareness on the disease, they are busy brutalizing Osun people in order to CAPTURE the state!

Ebola jonathan is indeed a gross failure!

Boko Haram,

Now Ebola!

Vagabonds in Power!

Is that why you opened this thread ? GEJ till 2019.

Back to topic, I was almost bullied on phone to leave my office to go and take salt bath and drink salt as if Ebola has been poured into the atmosphere by invisible evil hands and all the salt bathers will escape the radioactive damnation...

God help me..

The new rumor circulating Nigeria now is that Ebola fever can be warded off by carrying about a large duck in a basket, while shouting CHAI ! at least 3 times per hour.
