HerexG: Is international community your God? join hands with who exactly? fvctards who are so dumb to be taking salt water syrup, OR fvctards who have been warned that what they want to take as a drug is actually a supplement that wont really provide a cure, yet they are eager to have "dog sh!te anyways!!? you want serious people to join hands with goats? what kinda joining hands do you mean? Ebola has been in Africa since 1976, no African country bothered to look for a cure, in 2003 the United states DOD (God bless America Anyways!!) supported its research with a meager $25m and today they have Zmapp, guess what you have; Begging and ranting on the internet, shameless fvcktards!!, Is it $25m we cant afford? or a research center that private companies own? what exactly is the problem with Africans and Nigerians? the money stolen from NNPC in a year is enough to get these things done yet we are here whining over America this, America that. Look at the clown you have as a health minister, he sounds so confused, looks helpless, talks like a mechanic. He calls himself a prof of medicine but 3days after sawyer's death he said no Nigerian is with the Virus, how can you know when you have not exceeded the 21days incubation period for the virus? and coming from a prof of Medicine is more pathetic, do I blame him? of course not, instead of the President giving him a query for such unprofessional comment, the confused president was calling late Patrick sawyer names, as if he has a panel to face in resurrection. Onyebuchi chukwu is a disgrace to Medicine, he told us that all the 8 Ebola quarantine patients are stable and responding to treatment, two days on; Justina the Nurse died, that is the goat you advocate will join hands with serious people? 2013 budget has over 400m naira for control of infectious diseases not even the outbreak of March could make the Minister to wake up, it took a Sawyer to slump in MMA for Onyebuchi Chukwu to wake up from Coma. Before July, there was neither an Infra red thermometer nor a bio hazard suit in any entry point in this country, yet Nigerians are blaming the United states!! How about demanding professionalism and accountability from people who pilot the affairs of this nation? How can the Minister tell Nigerians that he has a "drug" Nano silver for our Ebola patients, you people don't know the kinda mess these guys are making till you become a victim, what stops Chukwu from getting clarification from FDA first before coming to misinform Nigerians? it took the Intervention of the FDA for Chukwu to agree to proceed with the recommendation of his committee, these are the kinda fvcktards we have in power and you expect serious countries to join hands with him? A f00l who saw the test report of the Doctor and claim she has survived Ebola while WHO is saying she is a false positive, meaning she never had the Ebola virus, thank God for WHO quarantine guide lines, Chukwu would have infected her there, meanwhile, has already set Nigerians on a jubilation frenzy that one of theirs have survived the lethal virus, how worse can this shameless man get? Lagos state (our Ebola red zone) is yet to receive a dime from the $11m intervention fund, yet, people are still holding America by the jugular At what point would you realize the need to fix culpability where culpability belongs? America is not your problem, the nonentities ruling you are. 4 Likes |

[quote author=Leopantro]Several doctors, nurses and other health workers who walked away from an Ebola treatment center, Yaba, Lagos, Friday has said that they quit because of what they described as the lack-luster attitude of the country’s health officials to the plight of Ebola patients sequestered at the Center for Infectious Disease Control in Yaba According to reports from SaharaReporters members of medical teams sent to Nigeria by the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders had become so frustrated by the Federal government’s inept response to the Ebola outbreak that they are also threatening to quit, unless the government’s attitude changes dramatically. It was also gathered that before Ebola patients were moved three days ago to a better facility next door, they were housed in a dilapidated and abandoned building at the center. According to the health workers, it took complaints by families of the victims of Ebola to reporters to force the hands of the government to move the patients to a cleaner, more humane facility. A source who spoke with the publication said the former facility where patients had been kept had no functioning water supply and no air-conditioning. “The families of patients had to cater for them and pay for some drugs and oxygen, even though the Nigerian government claimed to have released more than N1.9 billion for treatment of Ebola victims,” one doctor alleged. While other insiders confirmed that there were now seven cases of Ebola patients at the facility with one victim discharged yesterday after fully recovering from the disease. They added that three of the patients were also showing steady improvement while three were still struggling. One of the volunteers who quit on Friiday said the Nigerian government had done little or nothing to cater for consultants and volunteers who were battling the deadly virus. “These consultants and volunteers were not housed, they were not fed, and they were not provided with transportation to enable them to continue working on site,” said a doctor. The medical source added, “Because of the level of exposure of volunteers and physicians managing Ebola patients, they ought to be housed near the facility and moved around in a special vehicle to and from the center.” But the doctors often return home to their families and had to disinfect their homes on their own. he sources revealed that only seven Nigerian doctors were on ground at the center as opposed to 20 needed to take on the challenge of treating and managing Ebola. The Nigerian doctors and nurses are being led and trained by an eight-member team of physicians from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Doctors Without Borders. Our sources said the expatriate medical experts were also threatening to leave, citing the Nigerian government’s failure to recognize the seriousness of the Ebola disease. For example, Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, had not come near the any of the Ebola victims or given adequate assistance to the medical teams battling the deadly virus. Instead, the minister struck a deal to accept Nano Silver solutions to treat Ebola from a yet to be named “Diaspora Nigerian” who the minister claims “invented” Nano Silver. The US Food and Drugs Administration has stated that the Nano Silver solution being paraded in Nigeria as a cure for Ebola is classified as a pesticide. The minister in Lagos yesterday said Nigeria has now abandoned the use of Nano Silver donated by the unnamed Nigeria because an independent assessment shows Nano Silver can’t treat Ebola. One irate volunteer told SaharaReporters that the minister’s acceptance of an untested drug and his nomination of a notorious former INEC chairman, Maurice Iwu to a committee to cure Ebola was baffling. “The solutions could not have been accepted and used to treat Ebola patients in Yaba because the WHO has also directed that [the Nano Silver ] are unsafe for treating Ebola, but I am not surprised about the minister’s behavior considering that he nominated Prof. Iwu, a serial lier who earlier claimed bitter cola could cure Ebola” said the medical volunteer. The source said doctors at the center were currently treating patients to combat high fevers. “We’re also rehydrating the patients and managing other symptoms as they present themselves,” the source said. On the prospect of containing the spread of the virus in Nigeria, one of the consultants said Nigerians should realize that they are on their own. “Health authorities in Nigeria are not doing much to help anyone beyond propaganda,” he said in an angry tone. The source disclosed that the Lagos State Commissioner of Health came near the treatment center yesterday. “He stood far away from the center where patients are being treated. He ran back and quickly went on air to claim that he had visited the victims, a claim that was a blatant lie,” our source said. http://www.today.ng/news/fg-hasnt-given-priority-to-ebola-treatment-international-consultants-threaten-to-walk-away/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fg-hasnt-given-priority-to-ebola-treatment-international-consultants-threaten-to-walk-away [/quote [size=16pt]https://www.nairaland.com/1862229/ebola-patients-abandoned-health-team[/size] |

jpphilips: South Africa has been conducting ebola research for a few years now. http://www.nicd.ac.za/?page=news&id=4&rid=90 Doctors at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases have imported 44 bats from a remote area in the Democratic Republic of Congo after spending six years upgrading their research facility to isolate the Ebola virus. Professor Janusz Paweska, head of the special pathogens department at the institute, travelled to the central African country's Luebo district last month to trap the bats, kill them and bring them home to study. The virus, which causes death from internal bleeding, was discovered in 1976, but doctors still know little about how victims are infected. They suspect bats, eaten in the area in which there were three outbreaks of the disease from 2007 to 2009, carry the virus and transmit it to people eating them.Doctors have yet to find the virus in the bats. Researchers at the facility in Sandringham, Johannesburg, start dissecting the bats' livers, spleen and lungs next week. "There are many groups who are trying [to find the virus]. This is one of the most hunted treasures in modern virology but no one has succeeded yet to isolate the virus from wildlife," said Paweska. One of the bats he brought to South Africa is the Hypsignathus monstrosus bat. "It could be [eaten] because it is a very big species. It's like a small chicken. The male bats weigh about 400g so it's a major source of protein," he said. Because Ebola is such a deadly virus, Paweska and his 11 post-doctoral and MSc students from Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique and Congo must wear fully enclosed plastic suits with their own oxygen supplies before entering the new bio-safety level four laboratory completed in May. Ebola is so dangerous that only two researchers can enter the laboratory at the same time. The laboratory is one of the world's largest containment facilities for dangerous biological specimens. It is recognised by the World Health Organisation as the leading research centre for viral haemorrhagic fevers. The "animal room", containing the bats and other deadly specimens, is in the centre of the laboratory, which is accessible only via a series of tightly sealed doors that stop the virus being transferred outside. Before entering the room, researchers in their suits must take five-minute chemical showers to ensure they do not take any foreign particles inside. The laboratory is monitored by closed-circuit TV. All doors have red biohazard warning labels. Paweska hopes to capture thousands more bats to study next year. If he can find the virus, he can then figureout how it is transferred to people. "We don't know if it is excreted through urine or saliva and how is it transmitted between the bats," he said. He also wants to learn how long the virus survives in meat. |

andrewza:The basic thesis of the memorandum was that population growth in the least developed countries (LDCs) is a concern to U.S. national security, because it would tend to risk civil unrest and political instability in countries that had a high potential for economic development. The policy gives "paramount importance" to population control measures and the promotion of contraception among 13 populous countries. This is to control rapid population growth which the US deems inimical to the socio-political and economic growth of these countries and to the national interests of the United States, since the "U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts omf minerals from abroad", and these countries can produce destabilizing opposition forces against the United States. It recommends that US leadership "influence national leaders" and that "improved world-wide support for population-related efforts should be sought through increased emphasis on mass media and other population education and motivation programs by the U.N., USIA, and USAID." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Study_Memorandum_200 |

Have we seen America or any other developed countries do this? Have we seen from other countries where universities and polytechnics were shot down for several months? All these happens in nigeria frequently. our higher instutions aren't dead yet. are they? at least not when they are shut instead of being shot down lyk u wrote it I'm assuming its typo error though Next tym u feel like yabbing Nigeria/GEJ pick a better thread.

Leopantro: NIGERIAN DOCTOR WAS “NOT” CURED OF EBOLA Thank you Miss Meiya for this post that stands out as one of the very few truthful and sensible ones in this thread. I am shocked and disgusted by the horrible level of ignorance and failure to think that we see here; I am also shocked by the way this epidemic is instrumentalized by various unscrupulous (or plain dumb) individuals to spread hate and prejudice against the outside world and especially the US. After all it's always a good idea to blame the US for EVERYTHING, right? Blame them for creating ebola and equally blame them to have funded research on ebola cure, then blame them for not having enough of it available at this point. Ad infinitum absurdum... It's ridiculous to complain about being a victim of racism when our own posts abound with racism. It is ridiculous to complain about a so-called conspiracy by "white man" when our OWN leaders are not doing what is necessary but are instead spreading lies themselves. For example they lied that this "nanosilver cure" (NOT) was "developed" by a NIGERIAN scientist. Turns out it was a fraudulent US company, though, and they spread their own lies, most of which you people are now stupidly repeating https://www.nairaland.com/1866693/ebola-fraud-nanosilver-lies-dr Oh the irony!! So then lets believe our own lies because it's easier than to acquire actual knowledge about ebola and epidemics in general. Let's continue to ignore all objective information that is available everywhere and instead wallow in self-righteous delusions by promoting our unfounded "opinions" and conspiracy theories on the origin and cure of ebola. Lets ignore history altogether and pretend this is the first epidemic ever. Then lets use this as an explanation that ebola MUST be manmade for the purpose of eradicating us. Lets definitely ignore even the most basic knowledge of biology so we can continue to wallow in our gossip and self-inflicted ignorance. Then, lets create more lies - like our health minister - so that we can actually pat ourselves on the shoulder for being so smart (or alternatively the unfortunate victims of an evil outside world). Lets avoid being rational and learning by all means. Because that's how we do things in Nigeria, right? 1 Like |

Ebola is a serious disease, and hopes that scientists can find a cure as soon as possible. At this stage, biotechnology is developing very fast. I saw a report a few days ago. Scientists use single-cell rna sequencing to detect human breast cancer epithelial cells, which brings hope for the treatment of breast cancer. I believe that one day Ebola will be cured. |
