WHO Confirms 3rd Case Of Polio In Nigeria by RoyalMail: 1:35pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
The World Health Organization has confirmed a third case of polio in Nigeria, Rotary Club said Monday: a crippled toddler found in an area newly liberated from Boko Haram Islamic extremists. The West African nation that once was the global epicenter of the wild polio virus had been declared polio-free last year, along with the African continent. But two cases were discovered last month among refugees from areas recently won back by Nigeria's military from Boko Haram. More cases are expected to be discovered in these areas. It is an indicator that Nigeria's war on polio cannot be won until it overcomes the insurgency by extremists who are violently opposed to Western medicine. Rotary Club's field coordinator, Aminu Muhammad, told The Associated Press the new case was found in Monguno local government area. The others were further south in Jere and Gwoza. All are in northern Borno state. Rotary is part of a new emergency immunization drive that vaccinated more than 1.5 million children last week in Borno, where WHO has said the virus has been circulating undetected for five years and where Boko Haram began its Islamic uprising in 2009. The campaign is to spread across the country, with a plan to reach 25 million children before the end of the year. But the U.N. Children's Fund has warned that about 1 million children are in areas too dangerous to access. Nigeria's military has helped with the vaccination drive, which included logistics and other aid from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the United Nations and Britain's Save the Children as well as government health workers. Military helicopters flew vaccines into places too dangerous to reach by road, and truckloads of troops and armored cars escorted vaccinators elsewhere. Muhammad said they were using "hit and run" tactics to reach kids in areas where Boko Haram is present. Source: http://www.ajayiwrites.com/2016/09/who-confirms-3rd-case-of-polio-in.html 2 Shares

This APC government sef The vaccine drugs would be expensive now with the exchange rate sitting at N420/$ (what an uncaring government we have). Complete opposite of what we used to be in the recent past. Dear Lord, what have we done to get this in return Anyway, listening to Ije Enu (Celestine Ukwu), amazing song 27 Likes 1 Share

prettysolid: Goodluck was the President of Nigeria when these cases of polio happened. We just discovered them now because the military under Buhari has finally succeeded in dislodging Boko Haram from those places where they took over from Jonathan. 1 Like |

No surprises! Come back and remind me when they start blaming PDP and GEJ for this afterall, what else could be the cause of buhari's failed erection? babadee1: AHa! they never disappoint do they? It was GEJ's fault polio has re-emerged but somehow when they needed to fraudulently remove GEJ from power, they were able to achieve an almost 100% PVC collection rate for all their voters including their underage voters and IDP's but same miracle couldn't be replicated in immunisation right?! All right! Remind me when you discover GEJ is the cause of desert encroachment over there! 5 Likes |

Re: WHO Confirms 3rd Case Of Polio In Nigeria by duni04(m): 3:21pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
There are people that are just too lazy and irresponsible to understand the issues. When Jonathan was in power, a section of Nigeria excluding Gworza, Mungono, Jere and some other parts of Borno state were under the control of Boko haram. Nigeria was declared polio free then because these parts of Borno state were inaccessible for anyone to verify if there were cases of polio or not. Buhari's government has dislodged Boko haram from these areas and now we know Nigeria wasn't really polio free in the first place. Don't we have it better now that there is security in those areas and kids can actually get vaccinated against polio than when we had a President who lied about Nigeria being polio free purely for the purpose of the 2015 general elections? Its sad that Nigerians don't know who their real enemies are. Very sad indeed. |
