INVESTIGATION: Minister Abba Moro in
fresh scandal; defrauding Nigerians of
billions
-------------
Controversial Minister of Interior, Abba
Moro, has devised a fresh scheme to fleece
Nigerians. Using the increase in the new
fees charged for the Nigerian passport, he
has formulated a new policy that would
effectively extort billions from unsuspecting
Nigerians every month.
Beginning in August, the minster illegally
contracted a freight forwarding and courier
company, Greater Washington Limited, to
deliver passports to applicants at the cost of
N2,000.

Nigeria Immigration Service
The 2014 Nigeria Immigration Service
Recruitment exercise went sour after some
candidates lost their lives in some screening
centers. Following this, the Nigeria
Immigration will be recruiting soon in
2014. The Minister of Interior, Abba Moro,
on Friday said the Federal Government
planned to recruit 5,000 officers into the
Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) over the
next five years.

Ebola Virus: Facts You Should Know
Perhaps no virus strikes as much fear in
people as Ebola, the cause of a deadly
outbreak in West Africa.
The World Health Organization reports
more than 1,300 cases of Ebola in the
countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra
Leone as of July 31. More than 720 people
have died.
Ebola was first identified in 1976, when it
appeared in outbreaks in Sudan and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is
named for the Ebola River, which runs
near the Congolese village where one of
the first outbreaks happened.
HOW DEADLY IS EBOLA?
Ebola strain in the current outbreak is the
most lethal of the five known strains of
the virus. It is called Ebola Zaire and
usually kills up to 9 out of 10 infected
people. But the high death rate might be
due to a lack of modern medical care.
On July 28, the CDC said the Ebola death
rate in the West African outbreak is
actually about 6 in 10, rather than 9 in 10.
That indicates early treatment efforts
have been effective.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
At first, the symptoms are like a bad case
of the flu: high fever, muscle aches,
headache, sore throat, and weakness.
They are followed quickly by vomiting,
diarrhea, and internal and external
bleeding, which can spread the virus. The
kidneys and liver begin to fail.
Ebola Zaire kills people quickly, typically
7 to 14 days after symptoms appear.
A person can have the virus but not show
any symptoms for as long as 3 weeks.
People who survive can still have the
virus in their system for weeks afterward.
HOW DOES THE VIRUS SPREAD?
Ebola isn’t as contagious as more
common viruses, such as colds, influenza,
or measles. It spreads to people by close
contact with skin and bodily fluids from
infected animals, such as fruit bats and
monkeys. Then it spreads from person to
person the same way.
IS THERE A CURE OR A VACCINE TO
PROTECT AGAINST IT?
No, but scientists are working on both.
There is no specific treatment for Ebola.
The only treatments available now are
supportive kinds, such as IV fluids and, if
available, medications to level out blood
pressure, a respirator, and transfusions.
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE SURVIVE
THE VIRUS?
That’s hard to say but several things
might play a role, such as a person's age
and genetic makeup, and whether they
have other medical conditions. These are
not proven by research.
HOW CAN THE OUTBREAK BE
STOPPED?
Simple steps to control infection, such as
gowns, gloves, and eye protection, can
help halt the spread of Ebola.
Keys to stopping Ebola include
identifying patients; providing treatment,
preventing the spread, and protecting
health care workers, including following
patients’ contacts and monitoring them
for symptoms; and preventing future
cases through education and urging
people to avoid close contact with sick
people or bodies.
WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
PEOPLE TAKE IF THEY’RE
CONCERNED THEY MIGHT COME IN
CONTACT WITH SOMEONE
INFECTED WITH EBOLA?
Ebola is very hard to catch. Infected
people are contagious only after
symptoms appear, by which time close
contacts, such as health care workers and
family members, would use “universal
precautions.” That's an infection control
approach in which all blood and certain
body fluids are treated as if they are
infectious for diseases that can be borne
in them.
Even though the virus can be transmitted
by kissing or sex, people with Ebola
symptoms are so sick that they’re not
typically taking part in those behaviors.

Nigerians to promote country’s image
-------------------------------------
"What affects every traveler is how
efficient and committed our immigration
officers work at our airports,” ... isitors
that come into the country have
different impressions about our
immigration officers, so they must
improve; they are the image of this
country. How they handle visitors
matters so much, if they conduct
themselves poorly, it reflects on all of
us.”
Those were the words of President
Goodluck Jonathan at the launch of the
new 64-page e-passport at the council
chambers of the Presidential Villa.
