Slavery should be prohibited.

Isis is a threat to Africa.
Islamic Extremism
Christian Mercenaries
Colonial Created Tribalism - we should not tolerate these things.

Our borders are too open - if they want to destabilize a government they either use Western Aid or Eastern Arab Anti-Black African terrorism..

Why do I place this here? Because they will do this to our women next, look at boko haram - the idiots that dont know true islam.

I can't remember the last time I read a full script like yours but you are a "PERSPICACIOUS MAN"...


I wish we all can stand up & do the needful to make Nigeria & Africa a better place if not the best place in the World...

Oh my brother!! Thank you, my man!! I am still growing and learning - lot to learn!! Thank you very much black man.

Yes!! We must do it!! I believe in us, a dreamer? Maybe - but at least you, I and the rest are dreaming among the greatest of men! I am glad that I am not alone! One Africa! One black mighty continent! Global freedom for black Africans around the world! We shall not be moved! Our minority thinking will be the majority, one day.

"While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas," Sankara uttered shortly before his death. Today, with the Parliament on fire, the corrupted leader en route to Ghana, and protesters in the street shouting "It's over for the regime!" Burkanibés might have the chance to prove his most famous words right.

Sankara was an advocate for women's rights, a neo-colonialism critic, and a strong proponent of African self-sufficiency.


"Compaoré? He is a very smart man, very refined too," Sankara said then. "The day you find out Blaise is preparing a putsch against me, don't bother trying to counter him or even warning me. It will already be too late."


Compaoré was a key ally to France and the United States in a region threatened by al Qaeda insurgency.

Lwili Revolution," the coup is being documented on Twitter with #Lwili, a bird native.

Good music bro!

donroxy:
It is a beautiful posts here. Quite far from political E-thuggery we have on nairaland !!

Spectroscopic made valid points and the fact that you put your pen down to write your discomfort regarding the ills in your society is a welcome development and a contribution to her progress ...The reason why Africa in general and Nigeria in particular get what they get is because ''that's who they are'' .... and such was quite evident in some rebuttals posted by ill-educated folks on this thread except black247 who gave an outstanding rebuttal making the sensible posts in page '0' to be two (2) !

Why wouldn't the government be backward , is the society not backward ? ..... Colonialists left us good government but gradually we bastardised each parameters of government with this darkish brain that is dearth of knowledge and standardisation !!

Africa simply lacks standard, independence and taste ..... Extreme Mental Poverty is the problem of the elites right from the president to the madmen on the street and the only solution they have deplored to solving their problem is to steal it all , the resources of mother earth !!

If there is any continent in the world with so much hatred for themselves , sabotage and denial of good-living .... Africa is it

Until the elites in Africa that are robbing this continent blind sit together, form a formidable force and called it enough ..... Africa will never get emancipated from ''retrogressive development'' and growth !!

''If we can't develop ourselves in time of peace , how will we develop in time of war ..... Could any development occcur in Bokoharam sacked area or where MEND is operating or If MASSOB/OPC should go radical .... If the development doesn't come now when is it gonna be ..... Ever !!! ....

The only edge in Africa is that it is not yet like Arab-Asia/Middle-East war spoilt countries and free from natural disaster such as tsunami but it is quite pathetic that despite no war nor natural disaster , the artificial disaster we inflict on ourselves is beyond the beauty of humanity

Thank you for your comment in regards to me, it came from the heart - so it was rushed with probably loads of grammatical errors. But, I wanted to say that I appreciate your recognition!! See you brother.

ROSSIKE:
But I've not seen you level any criticism against them. All I've seen is you drooling your eternal gratitude to them for presumably saving YOUR butt from poverty. It's instructive how much ''I'' permeates your posts. All you think of is yourself. In that same America, millions of black graduates are denied employment opportunities available to whites. But of course, some white guy helped you in Nigeria, and it's only YOU that matters isn't it? Selfish pig.

I think like you my friend!

AkinEgba:
Yes, US Citizenship is not a degree or license. But an average US citizen has better opportunities in this world than an average Nigerian citizen. You are using Dangote as a wrong example as he is not an average Nigerian. In any case, compare Dangote (richest Nigerian) to Bill Gates (richest American), who is greater?

You act as if youre exempt in the process of african development? What is holding you back from developing Nigeria? Cowardliness or Ineptness or are you yourself a benefactor of elite looting? Pick wisely.

And by the way, white (oyibo) men dont have to kill us - they kill Africans by proxy. Boko Haram as a group are worshipping WHITE arab terrorists by practices and misinterpretation of Islamic doctrine. And quite frankly, we should treat them as dangerous mentally ill patients. But, they are worshipping white fanatics, they also don't know their own superior AFRICAN place in the Holy Quran. The same can be said for those of us who were raised to adore WHITE christian doctrine, not even realizing that Jesus is black, an African at that.

Im sure we didnt mind the critique - many of us didnt. It is this romanticizing of a country that brutalized our distant relatives both in England and America that is f.ucking disgusting. Every ounce of what we see now when we go there (in my case visit) is from black American African slaves BLOOD ...and in England - Jamaican slaves, Haitian slaves, slaves from Barbados..the Caribbean BLOOD (sugar plantation)..yet we celebrate these western vultures as though they did it the RIGHT way - as if they didnt kidnap, rape, sodomize men, killed African women, stole land -- as if they built every single thing on their own, as if they are the moral standard? They murdered tons of AFRICANS to get their ultimate foundation - and LOOTED Africa to get their wealth. I am sorry, but as an African, as a Nigerian, as a black man - they are my family. They may hate me now (re: african booty scratcher comment - many of them think we helped sell them)...but they are my family - as ALL black Africans no matter where they are..are my family.

And to make matters worse? The Westerns that you epitomize are currently (not just historically but..) CURRENTLY destabilizing African nations - OUR very OWN NIGERIAN NATION, via proxy. Why do you think that we have corrupt African leaders in the first place? They didnt magically appear! Who put them there? If you think the African people chose to kill Thomas Sankara - you are sadly mistaken. His great name is referenced because of Burkina Fasos current media position.

Finally, look man: I dont mind critiques, I dont mind cultural relativism..but they cant be removed from historical context. And they cant be removed from ownership..if you can talk about how useless we are collectively as Nigerians -- as blacks, dont forget that you too are included in that WE.

Imho, I think that is our point: you are part of the NIGERIANS that you are critiquing. And if you have the wherewithal to analyze, dissect, critique, and articulate a point - as a man to another man, you should use that same mind to develop global African solutions.

I dont want to hear one critique about us unless you have attached a list of solutions: tactics and long term strategies!

One Africa! One Nigeria! One Mighty Black race! Those are my goals. And they are doable ..as long as WE know that THOSE Nigerians we talk bad about is ALL of US!

BUSHIDO5:
Thank you my brother. I am not surprised that you agree with me. I have read some of your posts and I will reiterate that you are a brother who has his African eyes open.

I am following you now!! Dont want to miss your posts! Your eyes are open!

I am following Papiw too! Good thread that you started here!

saxywale:
You can lie.
The same England I lived in for some years where I met Nigerian doctors, nurses, VP's in investment banks, Soldiers, Policemen, Lecturers, business owners, pharmacist, Engineers, Entertainers, labourers e.t.c
Are you an illegal immigrant cos those are the ones i know white people of the BNP stock call monkeys.

Well surely England isnt Australia or America, they may not always call you a monkey to your face - but they despise you. But I wont be in here trying to convince you how the white world views you in their country.

Says it all, they can't stand living in their own countries so they buy up properties in safe, albeit slight damp London, no doubt when they arrive on the private jets they will be fawned over. We don't want you here, go and look after you own countries.

UK aid money, no doubt !!

spectroscopic:
You have only been in The UK 5 years and you are talking about me learning? Before you get a US passport , you would have lived in the US at least 3-5 years with a green card and several years prior, with a visa, the number of years depending on your entry visa, family and educational status. And I'm not talking of visa lottery winners. Being discriminated on the basis of race depends on many cases, on your level, especially for new immigrants (different from the original Afr Ames who see race in everything). By God's grace, I came into this country already well qualified, academically and professionally, and so my job has always been at the top level. I have white people working under me. Just saying this to rebuff the notion of racism by default for all Africans.

If you are an illegal immigrant or non-contributor to the development of their society, of course they will despise you.

Note that the US is more welcoming and integrated than anywhere else in the world

Racism exists my friend, you being able to employ whites at various stages in your stay there doesnt negate the very TEMPORARY grounds that you stand on in a white mans land. But, like Bushidos said - you will see.

BUSHIDO5:
My man, your eyes are open. You are my kind of Nigerian. I school in England, I have been here for 5 years now and I can tell you that virtually not a day goes by without some caucasian idiot calling me a me or a friend of mine (a beautiful Ethiopian girl) a monkey. Spectroscopic will learn in America, don't worry. Over here in England, Africans possessing Masters and Doctorate degrees work as ordinary labourers in warehouses and are bossed around by oyibo secondary school leavers and even uneducated fellow warehouse labourers who are not their supervisors. O boy, black man is at the bottom of the totem pole over here o.

You are my kind of Nigerian!! And you are my brother for sure - a wide awake man! You know a truth that is global - a truth that we will never escape...until we ALL come together, they will continue to destabilize us wherever we are..for surely there is no where to hide! They kill us in different ways, in different places..but they kill us all the same!


So sorry to hear about the racial abuse you and your sister friend are experiencing! I am glad you were bold enough to speak the truth because it wont come as such a surprise - because it is a different type of poison ..racism..it really and truly is!! You stay strong my brother - and when you and your sister are ready to come back home, we will have the door open - ready for your new ideas!

We will be waiting! I am trying to work on some thing now! We will rebuild Africa.

lonelydora:
We will get there soon.

Nigerians waiting for God to come down and help them since 1960.

This religion thing is killing us!

I am adding this so we can re-evaluate ECOWAS ...credit to brother Fula for getting me to connect the dots!

Please view his link, it is a short article but it rightly calls into question ECOWAS is. Please see this for additional follow up: http://www.mcli.co.za/mcli-web/downloads/ARIA4/aria2/chap3.pdf

Fulaman198:
Do you care if United States exists? Do you care if England/UK exists? Do you care if China and S. Korea exists? You should care if the country exists.

If Nigeria does well in the West African region, all countries will follow suit. As a region, West Africa needs to be stronger. Instead of laughing at another fellow West African nation, it's time we discuss ways we can help improve the situation in Burkina.

This same kind of selfish nonsensical mentality is why the new Ebola strand spread to other countries because of selfish behaviour. Ebola came from far West Africa (Libera, Guinea, Sierra Leone) and gradually spread into the Eastern part of West Africa (Nigeria) by way of Liberia. If we don't pay attention to what is happening in other nearby countries it eventually comes here. I can list so many examples.

Preach!!!!!

Fulaman198:
Lol not a problem, I just think that as Africans we should watch out for one another. It's a shame when we look outside continental borders for help. Here is an article shedding more light on the situation.

http://www.todayonline.com/world/west-africas-ecowas-warns-against-burkina-coup-calls-talks

I do too!!

I was hoping with the post, we would think regionally. I am going to read this right now! I am trying to absorb everything because I believe the climate for change is coming and we should be astute!

Reading it now and I will post the link on my facebook profile!

Fulaman198:
Burkina Faso is in the same region as we are, it just seems that ECOWAS is completely ineffective against this kind of thing.

So true!!

We do need a different regional group! There are a lot of things that I am reading that just doesnt seem as though they are in sync.

The AU is another org that has me scratching me head!

Always a pleasure when you show up my big brother!!!

joeanointing:
This is an eye opener. There are some truths in your points. Nigeria will be great someday. By the grace of God i will see to it and not run away like you. Mods this is FP material.

Thank you dont run away

spectroscopic:
I have always been thinking:

Is the African culture part of the problem of Africa? Africans are family-oriented but not society-oriented.
They build individual families but have not been able to string that together to develop their societies. Because of their familism (pardon me, I just coined this vocabulary, meaning penchant for family), the financial head of a family is forced to ''work'' for members of his immediate and extended family. A western professor of mine who lived extensively in Africa once told me that family problems are one of the main reasons why middle class Africans are as good as poor. I had argued with him back then with a fervor bothering on pan Africanism, but now I know better.

There is so much dependency that, oftentimes, the bread winner has to steal public money to satisfy his family's needs. Relatives troop in and out, putting people under pressure to give and give and give. Now with smart phones, Facebook and twitter, they come in your face on cyberspace with requests. There is now no hiding place, except you get off cyberspace. It is such that even if you earn a good monthly pay, you end up an impoverished employed person, month in, month out.

There is total lack of the culture to compete for the common good. In contrast, there is breath-taking competition to be corrupt and to be able to lord it over others with the stolen wealth. On top of that, there is the tendency to blame others for African problems.

They say it's due to colonialism and slavery. But hey!! Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Philippines, and virtually all South American countries were colonized too. Indians were enslaved by the Dutch and taken to Suriname in South America. These people and countries have since moved on, and have become self-sustaining in many development indices that African countries can only dream of. But Africa remains the basket case of the world, beset with hunger, malnutrition, grinding poverty and disease. Moreover, Ethiopia and Liberia were never colonized. Are they any better than the colonized African countries?

Even ordinary Ebola, Africans cannot contain on their own after 40 whole years of its first discovery in remote Central Africa. Granted Nigeria was able to achieve that feat. But it was largely mother nature at work for them. One is regaled with images of dirt and squalor on Western media covering the Ebola crisis in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. From those images you would conclude every single individual in those countries are dirt poor and live under the most horrible sanitary conditions. But there are presidents and leaders governing these countries. There are the rich and mighty. Have they been sleeping?

What excuse does Africa have to remain poor, dirty and a perpetual underdog? Africans on the street often say their leaders are corrupt. But leadership does not exist in a vacuum. Every leader was once a follower, and many new leaders, just followers a few years ago, have become even more corrupt than veteran leaders. How can you get good leaders from bad followers? The question then is, are Africans naturally wired to be what they are today?

What is the role being played by religion in certain African countries such as Nigeria? Virtually all the prosperous countries are those not enmeshed in religion. They are either 100% (at least nearly so) Christians, 100% (at least nearly so) Muslims, or completely devoid of any religious affiliations. Nigeria has pursued the path of mixed religiosity in equal measure; yet all the religions that Africans ''die'' for are foreign to them. Why do they bear religion on their shoulders with unprecedented burdensomeness?

Election is coming up in Nigeria and everyone has become entrenched in their primordial positions. Common sense has been thrown to the dogs, and failed leaders, past and present, are doing all they can to recycle themselves. They throw crumbs at you and you fall hook, line and sinker for them. Where is the rallying for intellectualism and leadership quality? Where is Fasola, Utomi and the rest of the few good ones? Why are they not contesting and why is there no one promoting their candidacy? You all, ordinary Nigerians, have either been bought over by the corrupt and bigoted elites on both sides of the divide, or you are too ignorant and loving of the status quo to know any better.

Today the president of Burkina Faso was chased out and the parliament building set on fire. It was all because that president, despite having stayed 27 or so years in power, was angling to stay longer and sought to be backed up by lawmakers. That is the African system most like to live with.

Well, so much for my rambling. I just wanted to share what I have bottled up all these years.

PS: Today, I received my US citizenship; I am glad that I did, but I am not giving up on Nigeria and Africa, not yet.

I am Nigerian. I am Igbo in fact. I agree with everything that you said. But you forgot one important thing:

What should we say about the African men and women that flee to white countries - not because of political unrest..not because of political upheaval (read: Rwanda massacres) but simply because they are merely disappointed with their country leaders - and instead of fighting to rebuild Africa - they shamefully burden other countries infrastructure (like America). What about the Nigerian men and women who are so proud to run to England and America, while the natives of those countries are wondering why you - who come from a country that receives aid, millions in fact, are found cowering in their institutions begging for citizenship.

You will not get respect from the average white American - because firstly: they dont want you there...but also because they still see you as the incapable African, and you prove that with your post, you feel too incapable to fight, fight for transformation but you do like most of us do: simply TALK.

What do the English and American see when they look at you? - you are their black monkey - a black monkey that had to come to their land to get properly civilized. For why do you think the whites view the most successful blacks in America as incompetent - talking not of the poor ghetto ones (we all have those) I am talking about the black lawyers and doctors..why are they viewed as so lowly?

Answer: The ruling class still associate even the former slaves (500 years removed) to their ancestors "PRIMITIVE AFRICA".

I agree we have lots to do, but your full respect as a man will never be realized for you until you come back and join empowering movements - even if you start one yourself.

This ravaged continent that we call mighty Africa is a place that ALL blacks will forever be married to. No one can escape this marriage. If the Haitian, the Afro-Cuban, the black American are still associated with Africa..what do you think your association will be? And whats even worse, they didnt have a choice - you did, and you left running..with no plans to fight. And the irony of it all is that you are RUNNING to the very people that takes pleasure in destabilizing US.

America has had the dirtiest of beginnings. But even still - the men who created your mighty new nation that you are foolishly proud to show your face in - actually built their country, brick by brick - saturated in African blood. And they will NEVER respect any of us that have the good sense to provide a sound analysis but not provide solutions - and yet run to them..those who murdered your cousins, they think we are the foolish of them all. I mentioned to Fula (a cool moderator) the other day, Africans - we dont understand racism, and he (thankfully) knew exactly what I was talking about in my posts.

In everything you said, which I agree with it all - even the part that us Nigerians cant take criticism - you forgot the men and women who leave and burden other infrastructures instead of fighting for our own. I don't wish you harm, nor do I wish you to stay in Nigeria if you are being abused...but I do judge people like you that talk about how poorly we are doing when you havent lifted ONE SINGLE finger to help our mighty nation, our mighty continent ...or even think to even avenge the deaths on our screaming soil.

Nigerians are cultural chauvinists.
We are tribal.
We are petty.
Sometimes we brag too much for our own gain.
We are much too flashy.
We have no good sense to respect the hosts that we burden - xenophobia isnt all their fault at times.
We foolishly talk about the West while being in their countries - with our hands and mouth opened up like birds waiting on bread.

And EVERY thing you mentioned...but we are also cowardly, and I hope that you gain the courage to return home...to build an Africa that you dream we should be. Otherwise, you should hold up a mirror.

RockMaxi:
Don't hesitate to give us the breakdown. They once predicted 2015 for us now it has been shifted by 15more years, God pass America.
The painful truth about this case study is while America is working tirelessly to see it come to pass, our leaders have through selfishness become the willing tool to carry it out.

I am seriously waiting for those excerpts when you upload.

Will do!! Havent forgotten!

Although I dont trust these institutions, I say - hey use it to get an education on how they run things and bring it back to our black mation. I posted this on my facebook profile and forgot to post here!


Yale Young African Scholars Program
http://globalscholars.yale.edu/africa

The 2015 Yale Young African Scholars Program application is now available online!

Applications are due February 26, 2015. APPLY NOW >>

The Yale Young African Scholars Program (YYAS) is an initiative modeled off of the Yale Young Global Scholars Program. This program is intended solely for African students attending secondary school on the African continent.

The 2015 Yale Young African Scholars programs will be hosted by Yale University in two locations:

Kenya: August 12 – 17
Zimbabwe: August 20 – 25
The Yale Young African Scholars Program is a high-intensity six-day program designed for African students who will graduate from secondary school in 2017 or 2018, are 18 years or younger at the time of the program, and have the talent, drive, energy, and ideas to make meaningful impacts as young leaders, even before they begin their university studies. The Yale Young African Scholars Program is an official program of Yale University.

There is no cost to students to participate in the Yale Young African Scholars Program. Participants are, however, responsible for getting themselves to the venue at the outset of the program and their return home at the end of the program. Participants will also be responsible for any incidental expenses they elect to incur. Admitted students demonstrating financial need may apply for a limited number of travel assistance grants, intended to help defray the cost of international travel between African countries. Students can only apply for travel assistance after they have received an offer of admission to YYAS.

The programs will help students recognize and understand global issues, strategize responses, and innovate solutions while learning from Yale faculty and African undergraduate and graduate students who currently attend Yale. Students will participate in a lecture series and a number of elective seminars on a variety of topics. The demanding academic content is designed to improve students’ analytical thinking, intellectual flexibility, and written and oral communication skills. These skills will be further utilized in small workshops designed to prepare students for the demanding application processes of U.S. colleges and universities.

On-site accommodation is mandatory, and will be provided for all students, along with three meals a day. There is no cost for students to participate in the program.

I guess I shouldve been more clear in my posts dear brothers. Sorry. I mean will Africa as a whole have this sort of movement: us vs tyranny. I dont think as Nigerians we would tolerate such a long rule anyway.

I guess I mean more so the ideology of us standing up all at once.

Am I too optimistic?

Burkina Faso's 'Black Spring'

Protesters set fire to Parliament after MPs made plans to extend the 27-year rule of President Blaise Compaore.
POLLY MOSENDZOCT 30 2014, 9:29 AM ET

Theo Renaut/AP
Updated 3:24 p.m.

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, is the scene of mass protests, flames, and tear gas after citizens organized in the capital to show their disdain for President Blaise Compaore, who has been the leader of his country for the last 27 years. Despite this lengthy reign, parliament is considering a constitutional amendment in order to lift the term limits that prohibit him from running for office or holding the presidency in 2015. The vote on the amendment has been suspended temporarily, but the citizens of Burkina Faso have nevertheless set both city hall and the ruling party headquarters on fire.

Compaore first became president in 1987 through a coup and has been reelected four times since. However, all of the elections have been disputed. The United States, France, and European Union "have called on him to scrap the proposed constitutional amendment," the BBC reported. The United States and France are close allies of Burkina Faso's and have established military bases in the region to combat Islamic terrorism in the greater Sahel area of Africa. The allies believe changing the constitution "could jeopardise Burkina Faso's stability." As Al Jazeera notes, Burkina Faso has been "typically known for relative stability and economic growth in a volatile region."

While Western powers hope to calm the situation, protesters seem to have other plans. Emile Pargui, an official with the opposition Movement of People for Progress, told AFP, "October 30 is Burkina Faso's Black Spring, like the Arab Spring." Activists have called for a continued campaign of civil disobedience until Compaore steps down, according to the BBC.

The military, meanwhile, clashed with protesters who attempted to take over parliament buildings, dispersing the crowd with tear gas fired from a helicopter, though the protesters eventually succeeded in their mission. According to AFP reporters on the ground, "About 1,500 people managed to break through the security cordon and ransacked parliamentary offices, set fire to documents, stole computer equipment, and set fire to cars outside." State television has gone off the air as a result. Just after 3 p.m. ET, the Burkina Faso military announced the dissolution of government and parliament.

The protesters, for their part, have vowed to keep fighting and plan to march into other government buildings.

No problem brother!

Will do!

Running late a bit, but will come back to update. I purchased the book after news of our oil shares dropping. They compared us with Pakistan - at least eluding to it. However concluded because the continent and the world depends on our oil they needed to evaluate us first. Found the whole thing eery and bizarre!

It is worth a read and worth me outlining it. Was quite lazy now and wanted to hear what others thought...but this is important enough for me to detail it out.

Has anyone else besides me read this book? It is on Kindle - not long. I want to see if there are any others out there..thinking what I am thinking o.

That is how racism is in Oyibo man's country. You see, it's obvious that she doesn't have Ebola, they just didn't want to be on the bus with her because they are racists. Touching someone with Ebola would give you Ebola so they obviously knew she didn't have it. I'm hoping that a lot of my fellow Nigerians are finally realizing how whites think of Africans. A lot of you are under the false impression that they like you. Only some do, majority do not.

I pray that we wake up brother Fula!

I am trying to wake us up because you are right!!!

A Guinean woman has been attacked in a bus in Rome by angry passengers who told her she was infected by Ebola and had to get off the bus, Italian media reports. She was taken to hospital suffering from multiple bruises.

‘I am a Liberian, not a virus’ campaign fights Ebola stigma plaguing West Africans

Fataomata Sompare, 26, was about to get off the bus on Monday, said Il Messaggero, an Italian newspaper, as cited by the Local.

A teenage girl who was on the bus with her friends saw Sompare and began accusing her of having the deadly virus. Then some of the teen’s relatives started beating the woman.

“They told me that I had Ebola and that I had to get off the bus,” said Sompare, who has been living in Italy for four years.

People at a bus stop near Grotte Celoni Metro station in the east of the city managed to save the woman, who suffered multiple bruises after being beaten by passengers. The police arrived and she was taken to hospital.

Ebola hysteria soars to new heights in US schools

The incident was reported to public prosecutors by Sompare’s lawyer.

“[She is] a victim of racism, which is now rampant in this city,” the Sompare’s partner Alessandro Corbelli told Il Messaggero. He added that the incident was “shameful” and she had been attacked “only because she’s black.”

The incident is not the only example of Ebola hysteria in recent days. In the US, Ebola-phobic parents sent a Maine teacher on mandatory leave after he returned from Dallas, where first victim of the virus in the country died. In Mississippi, parents pulled their kids out of school because of the principal’s trip to Zambia.

The death toll from the Ebola virus has reached 4,877 people for far, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.

According to the UN health body, 9,936 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the three countries worst-affected by the virus, have contracted the disease.
