Obiagelli:
if the government had been serious with sensitisation, anyone with any symptoms whatsoever would have been quarantined at the airport.
Btw are you saying the airport officer or the federal government took sawyer to that hospital?

EkoIle1:


He was ready for ebola outbreak back April, but he's setting up committee and talking about unhealthy practices in August after ebola outbreak in Nigeria..

Was the FG letting Sawyer into Nigeria with ebola unhealthy practices by Nigerians?

What kind of incompetent reetards do we have looking after 170 million people?

eaglechild:

You are joking right?

Is the FG some imaginary GHOST that floats around waiting to do things, or do they have human beings working for the FG?

Obiagelli:
at least you agree with me on the level of incompetence of the federal government lead by a certain Goodluck.

eaglechild:

Lol!

You seem incapable of comprehending sarcasm.

eaglechild:

Even before the WHO sounded the alarm bells just after the Sawyer incident.
All flights form Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone were cancelled.

All passengers coming from high risk zones are checked for constitutional symptoms and further tested if need be.

All level one contacts have been traced and quarantined.

Other contacts are under surveillance.

$11M dollars has been released by the FG to combat the illness.

$200M by the world bank of which Nigeria will benefit.

[s]Isolation centres have been set up by the FG[/s] by the LASG.

eaglechild:
Gosh!

Do you think you just wake up and shut borders?

If that was the case then all outbound flights from Nigeria would have been cancelled by the rest of the world.

Do you now think the rest of the world is incompetent too for not shutting us out?


The WHO continually updates travel guidelines and recommendations in scenarios like this.
Up until Sawyer's case the WHO made no such recommendations for flight cancellations or border closures because the disease was fairly contained. British airways and other European and international carriers were still flying in and out of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Arik was about the first to stop flights followed by BA and Asky etc and all these were after the Sawyer incident took place.

EkoIle1:

We are talking about our own FG and their lies and deceit when it comes to protecting Nigerians..

Back in April, the FG said measures were in place to protect Nigerians and that the FG was ready for Ebola.

So please tell us specifically what measures he was talking about.



That's to the Lagos state government and the healthcare workers/first responders..



Sorry, this didn't prevent 2 deaths and multiple infections. It's still yet to produce one single isolation tent or unit..meaning we are still in danger so this is very irrelevant..




Please stop doing attache. Tell us where the FG isolation centers are located in all the 36 states, tell us about the qualified manpower and tools available at our airports and borders to screen possible carriers. tell us how many tents they've procured and set up for eventualities...

eaglechild:

Lol!

First of all Sawyer was not first treated by that LASG that you worship.

He was taken to first consultant Ikoyi a private outfit, which I must say acted professionally by treating the patient with a high index of suspicion and insisted on getting the patient tested.
They also acted professionally by notifying the government of a reportable disease knowing fully well that that will lead to the shut down of the facility.

There are tiers of government and naturally the clinic will notify the state ministry of health which happens to be Lagos, who will now go ahead and notify the Federal ministry of health.


LASG that you worship did absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
Rather it would have been gross incompetence on their part if they had kept mute.


The quarantine facilities are being manned by the LASG, FG, WHO, CDC whether you come here and type rubbish and post pictures of your god Fashola it does not change the facts on ground.

jesuslovesme123:

Your last 6 words are exactly what my point is. These measures were taken AFTER the fact. Why did Nigeria have to wait for ebola to get into Nigeria before doing anything?

Your comments reflect the mediocrity that Nigerians have accepted for too long. This mediocrity has cost, and will cost some Nigerians their lives.

[s]The WHO should not have to think for Nigeria. If you have a neighbour with the Ebola virus, would you fling open the doors to your home, waiting for the WHO to advise you to protect yourself? I hope not...[/s]

lol, you sound like you have given up on your beloved FG, of course Lasg can't be the first to treat sawyer because they don't run the damn airport. Gej's incompetent allowed sawyer get as far as ikoyi.

arewarepublic:


Please tell Ngwakwe to take a day off. He needs it after PDP's loss today.

Given that you have fed us here with so much misinformation.

I cannot even draw the line between facts and fiction coming from you.

In any case go back and read my previous posts.

You have exhibited that you have challenges with comprehension.


It will be difficult to help you understand.

EkoIle1:

Your posts are worthless and irrelevant since they have nothing to do with the topic

The topic = The FG government lied back in April they Nigeria was ready for Ebola.

It's either you agree that the FG lied or disagree with valid points about what they did in and before April till this very second to protect Nigerians.

You are free to exit thread if you have nothing better to contribute apart from trolling with irrelevant rants..

naptu2:

Gosh! Do you mean that the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria needs to wait for the WHO or Arik Air to tell it to ban flights from certain countries?

Gosh! I've never heard such nonsense in my life!

Looks like you are losing it.

You started the thread to malign the FG and praise your paymaster Fashola, you have NO intention to provide facts that will help the general public in the fight against Ebola.

Unfortunately you do not even have the details and your propaganda is collapsing on you.

There is no need for tempers to flair.
You will not be paid for this job, you did not do well.

I guess the WHO would have punished us for shutting our borders (as they did when Obasanjoshut the border wwith Benin or as they've punished Guinea for shutting its borders).

gboss4sure: At last they did blame GEJ for ebola. APC always blaming even the unblameable

eaglechild:


They actually did that after WHO declared an international emergency.

Obiagelli:
jmaine is actually quite reasonable, i see him on the APC side soon along with gboliwe and Biafraqueen.

naptu2:





Does the Nigerian government (or any government) need to wait for WHO directive before shutting its borders?

WHO is the highest authority in health issues in the world.

Why do you think other countries did not stop flights from Liberia?
