Tonylyte: Each gov'nor represents all the 36 states of nigeria...in every state u visit they are big chances that all the indigiene of the 36 states are dwelling there, therefore when things are not done well u caution the gov'nor, it doesnt matter the state u are representing.

What is your Governor doing about the Ebola virus?

Tonylyte: What was fashola waiting for all this while? I thought u guys said he thinks ahead? Wait for the rest gov'nors to fall victim of the same situation and see what they come up with before u judge them. Fashola disappointed me!

What is your Governor doing about the Ebola virus??

OMG, the story is not his lack of shoes but how extreme his slouch is.

Look at how curved his back is, he can't even sit upright in a confident way.

That's one of tell-tale signs of "Low self esteem".

NB: If you didn't study psychology, don't quote me to start arguing.

Gbawe: Are you minding these ignoramuses and illiterates? The need to rush in and blindly criticise anything Fashola and Lagos does has left them brain-damaged to the extent they cannot even think as effectively as a 5 year old child.

My worry is there is no report of other States taking the same precaution to curb its possible outbreak.

And all they can do is criticize the most pro-active individual in the containing of this virus in the Country.

Tonylyte: Shut up! U the tabula-rasa here! Why would he show such structure to the world? U should knw lagos deserves something better. My refuse dump is a heaven when compared with this structure...oh yea, probably he designed it to habour ebola there, not nigerians....

By the time you finish building a regular bungalow in the right location for isolation, the virus would have spread further than the South west region comfortably.

Most isolations are make shift tents to attend to the urgent nature of the disease.

If other state Governors are wise they should start preparing their own isolation wards and not wait till cases start popping up in their States.

Worry about that instead.

collynzov5: I will take an uncivil person over a hypocrite anytime, anyday.
I have absolutely nothing to learn from you.
On one hand you are blaming GEJ for the Ebola outbreak and praising Fashola on the other hand, yet you claim it isn't about politics.
Talking from both sides of the mouth is like a curse to you guys.

This is about leadership not Political Affiliation.

collynzov5: So where does your bullshyte about not politicising the Ebola outbreak come in when it has already been politicised by the OP whom you obviously support?
Fûck out of my way, I don't deal with two faced Yoruba twäts.
Typical!

The moment you attempted to turn it to an APC vs PDP thing.

See how civil I've been with you? Its somthing you should learn.

collynzov5: Typical Yoruba hypocrite. Did you miss the opening post?

The opening post was meant to discredit the FG..............Which is right in this situation.

Rather than allowing some ignorant folks send bc's that encourage people to further poison themselves, its the Government that should be sending information on the various forms of media to encourage and educate people.


Its call being "Pro-active", something the current Government doesn't know much about.

But up there, its all about 2015.

They had better pray Gov Fashola does a good job of steming the spread of the Virus or else there might be no 2015.

If anyone likes, they should say its too long or no pics, it all about your lives and your loved ones.

Cheers.

Some misleading broadcasts and post have been circulating on the use of salt as a means of preventing the Ebola disease.

Salt (Sodium Chloride) contains Chlorine which is also known for its antiseptic properties so it "might" actually serve as a form of antiseptic when used to bath (but I honestly won't advice anyone to use it because it has its own adverse effects on the body).

.........But DRINKING it ?? ....that's a big "NO"!!!

The kidneys work overtime to expel our normal intake of salt and some ignorant individual say we should drink more??

Here below are the effects of high salt intake.


Salt's effects on your body
Salt works on your kidneys to make your body hold on to more water.

This extra stored water raises your blood pressure and puts strain on your kidneys, arteries, heart and brain.



EFFECT ON THE KIDNEYS

Your body removes unwanted fluid by filtering your blood through your kidneys. Here any extra fluid is sucked out and put into your bladder to be removed as urine.

To do this, your kidneys use osmosis to draw the extra water out of your blood. This process uses a delicate balance of sodium and potassium to pull the water across a wall of cells from the bloodstream into a collecting channel that leads to the bladder.

Eating salt raises the amount of sodium in your bloodstream and wrecks the delicate balance, reducing the ability of your kidneys to remove the water.

The result is a higher blood pressure due to the extra fluid and extra strain on the delicate blood vessels leading to the kidneys.

Over time, this extra strain can damage the kidneys - known as kidney disease. This reduces their ability to filter out unwanted and toxic waste products, which then start to build up in the body.

If kidney disease is left untreated and the blood pressure isn't lowered, the damage can lead to kidney failure. This is when the kidneys are no longer able to be filter the blood and the body slowly becomes poisoned by its own toxic waste products.

If you have high blood pressure and are being treated with a diuretic medication, this makes the kidneys remove more fluid from the bloodstream. Because the sodium in salt counteracts this effect, reducing your salt intake will make your blood pressure medicine more effective.





EFFECT ON ARTERIES


The extra blood pressure caused by eating too much salt puts extra strain on the insides of your arteries.

To cope with the extra strain, the tiny muscles in the artery walls become stronger and thicker. Yet this only makes the space inside the arteries smaller and raises your blood pressure even higher.

This cycle of increasing blood pressure (which occurs slowly over a number of years) can ultimately lead to the arteries bursting or becoming so narrow that they then clog up entirely.

When this happens, the organs of the body that were receiving the blood from the arteries become starved of the oxygen and nutrients they need. This can result in the organs being damaged and can be fatal.




EFFECT ON HEART


The raised blood pressure caused by eating too much salt may damage the arteries leading to the heart.

At first, it may cause a slight reduction in the amount of blood reaching the heart. This may lead to angina (sharp pains in the chest when being active).

With this condition the cells in the heart don't work as well as they should because they are not receiving enough oxygen and nutrients. However, lowering blood pressure may help to alleviate some of the problems and reduce the risk of greater damage.

If you continue to eat too much salt then, over time, the damage caused by the extra blood pressure may become so severe that the arteries burst or become completely clogged.

If this happens, then the part of the heart that was receiving the blood no longer gets the oxygen and nutrients it needs and dies. The result is a heart attack.

The best way to prevent a heart attack is to stop the arteries becoming damaged. And one of the best ways of doing this is keep your blood pressure down by eating less salt.




EFFECT ON BRAIN.


The raised blood pressure caused by eating too much salt may damage the arteries leading to the brain.

At first, it may cause a slight reduction in the amount of blood reaching the brain. This may lead to dementia (known as vascular dementia).

With this condition the cells in the brain don't work as well as they should because they are not receiving enough oxygen and nutrients. However, lowering blood pressure may help to alleviate some of the problems and reduce the risk of greater damage.

If you continue to eat too much salt then, over time, the damage caused by the extra blood pressure may become so severe that the arteries burst or become completely clogged.

If this happens, then the part of the brain that was receiving the blood no longer gets the oxygen and nutrients it needs and dies. The result is a stroke, where you lose the ability to do the things that part of the brain used to control.

The best way to prevent a stroke is to stop the arteries becoming damaged. And one of the best ways of doing this is keep your blood pressure down by eating less salt.

grafikii: Idiotic government cant paste information posters around the nation, if na election campaign posters now, it will be all over the place

In a way, I'm glad Fashola is the Gov in charge of preventing the spread of this disease from its first point of call in Nigeria.

Pix if it was GEJ, he would keep saying "Don't panic", "we're on top of the matter", "we'll set up a comitee", "Ebola will end in August"........meanwhile, 100's will be dying regularly.....without him doing a thing........then when it gets out of hand, start calling on the US for assistance.

collynzov5: Is it a surprise that this ignorant message has gone viral in APC controlled states?

Keep sayin trash there and politicizing Ebola with your small mind.

All it takes is an Ekene-dili-Chukwu bus heading your way with just one Ebola infected person for you to know that its a Nigerian problem and not APC.

Illuminatus: The society being people like you, eh? I don't care. Like I said people are different. During Noah's era, he was supposedly the only righteous man around. Though everybody else had different beliefs and mocked him for having a different ideology, he was still different. And the "society" turned out to be wrong.
Don't care about the society. Worry more about being true to yourself and being good to others as much as possible.

Noah never dressed in Mini robes exposing his legs or wear make up or shave half his hair and braid his beard when expressing his ideology.

That's why we have each other to put ourselves in check for the sake of sanity.

I love tattered jeans but I watch how I wear it not to pass the wrong message off.

I almost wove my hair not too long ago but changed my mind, people would mis-read me if I did at my age.

Hey, its not fair but that's the way of the World.

Dress the way you want to be adressed.

Illuminatus: you're evidently quite close minded. You have on idea what my parents are like. What makes you think they will be like yours who would have an heart attack on seeing that? People are different. Don't judge another person with a standard set by others.

Dress like Charlie-boy, go out and see how the society will receive you.

Illuminatus: What is responsible?

Ok, dress like him for a day and give me feedback......or dress up a friend like him and go see your parents.

I'm out.

MiguelMi6: That's where you complicate yourself,he said his way of dressing is his brand,going for a job haunt requires the etiquette of professionalism and corporate dress sense for most jobs,but some jobs don't follow that rule,e.g,Google or Yahoo jobs.

What brand is he representing??

Does that brand look responsible to you??

At his age.........at least Denrele will be excused because he's also into entertainment but he's half Charlie-boy's age.

MiguelMi6: Your President has been dressing like the Pirates of the Caribbean for years to international meetings against 97% of other world leaders in suit and tie,they obviously shouldn't be counting him serious anymore.You Nigerians get over your hypocrisy and self-righteous judgemental attitudes.

Who told you they count him serious?? They don't.

Dress like Charlie-boy and go job hunting or for a meeting with a board anywhere in the world and see how they'll react to you.......Even when you're speaking sense

This is simple comon sense.

He might have spoken sense right there but I refused to read it fully since one part of my mind pictures it coming from that "weird looking" man taking "weird looking" pics with that "weird looking" girl.

Lesson: If you want people to take you serious look the part.

You can't dress up like a gay gangster and expect people to take you serious.

Dress the way you want to be addressed.

Ebubest: na una 2 dey follow steal abi, if u were in is shoe u will do worst than wat u jst say.

Speak for yourself. Because you might "do worse" doesn't mean everyone will do the same.

Were you born yesterday not to know that what he speaks of is what's being going on for decades in Nigeria??

Flawlessangel: burnout is not even better than grand turismo..and gears of war? This is ps3.

when I play a game, I like laughing out loud and having a good time (Burnout)........not all seriousy and focusy(Grand turismo) so its a matter of choice.

cao: Classic example of one not paying attention. What next - Halo? Mario? Fable?

My brain registered only "best games"........

Ice Prince has a good "Delivery" and styles but sometimes, his lyrics can be "watery".

Liverpool manages to come runner up in the previous season and their fans are already acting as if they're Man utd??

careytommy: anyone with a discerning mind knows channels has since been bought over by the frog of bourdillon.

Yes oooo.........Even CNN, BBC and Aljazera have being bought by him.

I only watch NTA and AIT now.

ChrisOD: Is it possible to win a presidential election in the complete absence of any one region?

A candidate will surely require the votes of all regions but can a candidate also win in all regions??

Ahuitzotl: [color=#1980BC] No matter how a monkey is groomed and given a tuxedo suit...A monkey is still a monkey.If you like build a dozen malls, Ibadam will always be seen as below......A kingslum of brown roofs. [/color]

You and the people that liked your post are a stain on the Igbos on this forum.

ChrisOD: Can you explain to me how the North's ruling of Nigeria for 35 years of its 45 years of existence made the North a paradise? Can you tell me what Obasanjo did for you as a Yoruba man? Can you tell me what an average Ijaw has benefited from Jonathan? Do you care to explain how an Igbo president will benefit an average Igbo man? Do you see how short-sighted you are?

Tell that to those with "Our son" mentality. Its not about the President being from your region, its about people taking your region serious when next you endorse a candidate.

nku5: Its really funny to see ppl who don't like gej quickly play the ethnicity card and instantly accuse others of doing the same thing. So you are affirming that anybody who supports gej automatically doesn't like northerners and southwesterners? Very very flawed way of thinking bros.

Well, on this forum, the average GEJ supporter sees the North as "Parasites" and desperate to retain power.

The South west is disliked for choosing to side majorly with the APC which is seen as being against GEJ.

We've both being long enough on this forum to know how the average group thinks.
