duni04: Lol its a shame! And u look good o

She's clearly a bimbo....

tk4rd: If Nano silver can help., then, let it help..
Do we have a chance.?
If we don't have the zmapp, and we have something at hand already, do we wait for zmapp that we don't even have yet.?
Or do we wait until the people are about to die, so that we administer our nanosilver and watch the magic that might follow.?

Nano silver is as good as saline water and kola therapy.

donnypool: well i'm not saying am right rather am i saying you are wrong. people on nairaland knows too much, but most of them are jobless. If you guys think our minister of health is senseless, then everyone nigeria is senseless. People are out there volunteering to work with ebola patients, but the ones on here are only good in online argument. i didn't say you are among tho.

Everyone think the minister of health is an illiterate and will just start vaccinating people with the drug. Lets leave those people in authority to do their job, and lets do our part in creating businesses, awareness and support for government officials.

Cool.... My concern is the encouragement of thorough research and development in the country . And avoiding that cutting corners mentality.

donnypool: nah zmapp was accepted because it is an american lab product. remember c-section? where it was first practiced, how its was criticized and who is doing it mostly now?

"The rate has risen to 46% in China and
to levels of 25% and above in many
Asian, European and Latin American
countries.[6] The rate has increased in
the United States, to 33% of all births
in 2012, up from 21% in 1996. [4]
Across Europe, there are differences
between countries: in Italy the
Caesarean section rate is 40%, while
in the Nordic countries it is 14%"(wikipedia)

Well, that's not the issue. Zmapp and tkm ebola have shown results in the lab with detailed experimental procedures , results and patents. Nano silver is as good as the salt and kola therapy.

donnypool: test or no test the patient is likely to die anyways, two americans were used as lab rat for zmapp remember?

Yes, same way Nigerians used themselves en masse as lab rats with saline solution. some have perished. Zmapp is a product of painstaking research targeted at ebola... Nano silver is a generic antiseptic.

Prymestrr: Dude u must be a retardeen. What's an outbreak Fool be forming know-it-all. Have no time 2 waste on a foul mouthed western ass licker.

What's an outbreak?

donnypool: how many times have you heard nigerian minister were duped?

or dont you know the drug will be tested by nigerian on an ebola patient and see if it works first before they distribute it to the rest?

The impression that a Nigerian "developed" an ebola drug called "nano silver" is nonsensical at best.

They could have just said they're gonna use the ebola patients as lab rats to test the potency of a fairly common antiseptic, nano silver, as a treatment for the disease.

UrbanMystique: you see you are the mo.r0n now?
Who refuted the claim? Who painted nano silver bad right from the beginning? How many people has nano silver killed? Same way the west says our own herbal medicine are bad and your fellow dunces accepted right?

Do you want me to start dancing around cos a food agency in America say something is bad? Is it not the same America and West that always love to relegate every black achievement?

Use your dead brain for once

Nano silver is by all means "Western"..... some Nigerian quack is trying to play smart and our minister has goofed fulltime.

nora544: It is dangerous we had a documentary in the TV in my country about nano products and what is dangerous and I remember it.

Somebody want to get rich quick

Yeah... It's sad that our minister of health could fall for (or perpetrate) such scam ...

nora544: This is a fake drug,

it is not new and it is know for many years in America and it didnot help please Nigerians open your eyes.

I tire oooo... A quick googling reveals that nano silver is a well known supplement in the medical field that has stirred some cancer controversy... How one could claim that he developed an ebola drug "nano silver" is baffling.

No harm in trying though.

She's likely not afflicted with ebola.. We'll know when the result is out. That'll teach her a lesson about defaulting on such matters of public health and national bio-security.

doctokwus: U miss an essential point,and dat is,how can a woman who was under QUARANTINE,escape all d way to lagos.Her reaching enugu alone,from lagos is scary enuf.But it also implies d possibility dat d govt maynot av bn tellin us all d whole truth as per having either traced all contacts or quarantined all traced.That my friend is a scary thought

She wasn't under quarantine... just on observation. She was to report to a designated centre frequently but she defaulted... It's until one tests positive that they can be quarantined

Daredevils....

drkay: This is definitely one of the signs of end time.

#Yawns... Cos there have never been disease outbreaks thousands of years ago, right?

The present invention is based
upon the isolation and identification
of a new human Ebola virus species,
EboBun. EboBun was isolated from
the patients suffering from
hemorrhagic fever in a recent
outbreak in Uganda. The isolated virus
is a member of the Filoviridae family,
a family of negative sense RNA viruses.
Accordingly, the invention relates to
the isolated EboBun virus that
morphologically and phylogenetically
relates to known members filoviridae.

The word "invention" as used in patent application parlance doesn't necessarily mean it was "manufactured" clearly.....

Apparently those two Americans were flown to USA for them to get a sample of the current ebola strain and file for intellectual property if it's a mutated strain of previously known viruses rights and for when they'll develop the vaccine....
Talk of research in Motion....

Whatsapp & bbm again?... If it ain't in an official news site, don't bother....

He should have let Okupe or Abati to say that... Anyway, he's goofed beyond that before, so no biggie...

Even your source screams "Fake"!

roufy235: no forget us too o

The almost two billion naira released by the FG for ebola control is more than enough to get those medical kits... Sierra Leone ain't that wealthy to get them for themselves.

PAGAN9JA: Good News.

We should look towards the East instead of the West.

while USA is making a big fuss over sending us medicine, China has already landed on African soil without a word.

China is doing what Doctors without borders has been doing in Guinea since 2001... They teamed up with W.H.O to send tonnes of medical equipment in March. USA and Canadian researchers are at the forefront of ebola research (zmapp and TEK-Ebola drugs).... let's keep the ovation on low key for the Chinese... They're still coming up.

nora544: Please read this than you will understand it better, I read it in the news paper in my country and it was in german but I translate waht is important that you understand this drug.

You're trying too hard to educate salt-smothered fools here..... "The average Nigerian is incapable of deep thought"-Chukwudifu Oputa.

RIP, Padre....

Onegai: Great news.

If detected early and treated, the disease can be managed, not cured (they usually treat it with blood infusions and intravenous solutions, to regulate the organs). However, most of the nurses (who didnt take enough precautions to protect themselves whilst treating the Liberian), turned down immediate quarantine (the doctors didn't). Thats why they waited till symptoms started and then it's usually much harder to manage.

Liberia getting the cure before us is a good thing, of the 3 countries badly affected, they have the most wherewithal to travel and spread it internationally. Nigeria right now hasn't reached epidemic stage. If your roof is leaking, will you focus on bailing the water out first or stopping the leak, so as to reduce the amount of water you bail? Common Sense.

and btw, the US doesn't really care about your homosexuality laws (they're still giving visas to Nigeria and still doing business, right). What they don't like is your govt, who is putting the country at risk of splitting up (which would require a Humanitarian effort to "save dem poor Africans, as usual". Obama's foreign policy is to stay out of other countries' internal wahala, he said so dring his first campaign after the debacle of Afghanistan and Iraq. He's only arming Syrian rebels now that ISIS is conquering territory and recruiting westernised muslims.

Got that?

Gbam... You seem to have the sagacity of twenty nairalanders combined

GenBuhari: [size=28pt]See what I said that the whole thing is propaganda?

Nobody can give me list of the 10 confirmed cases[/size]

You can as well ask for the names of all the over 900 dead victims across West Africa...

Nosyke:
You are the true son of your father.

Your points are very plausible. As for me, I dont want to believe that its the chibok girls that are being used as the age ranges of the previous attacks dont tally. If those children were writing their WAEC exams, at least they will be around 14-17 years as opposed to the around 10 year old gilrs that have been used recently to carry out these dastardly acts.

Whether they're the chibok girls or not, fact is that NIGERIAN teenage girls are being sent on suicide missions.... Chibok girls are not the only victims of jihadist kidnap. plus they got a whole lot of almajiri pool to recruit from

jpphilips: please stop educating a goat, his @rection depends on conspiracy theories.
He is so close to dying of salt water and ignorance syrup.

Hehehe.....

A source??... Questionable.

Danhumprey: Well,atleast there haven't been reported case of bats sucking human blood.

"Although rare, infection of humans by
rabies from vampire bat bites has
been documented; for example in
2010 four children in Peru died after
being bitten. "

www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_bat

Danhumprey: Bats do suck human blood?

Mammal blood.... Last I checked, we're mammals. But we ain't as dumb as say, cows that can get.sucked without knowing it.

Danhumprey: Do bats really suck blood? Or is that a mere myths you've been hearing? Can you prove that bats suck blood?

Google "vampire bat" and see for yourself. Mind you, there are various subspecies of bats.... most eat insects and fruits... The fruit bat is the ebola culprit.

shadrach77: I counted 20 Ebola related topics currently featuring on the front page, including the two that have been added in the last one hour. Now we need to spread hope not fear. Okay, there is an outbreak but the continual reporting is an attempt by the west to paint Africa in a bad light. I can't remember them reporting vigourously when "bird flu" epidemic was spreading all around Europe. Let's be wise and desist from helping them in denigrating our continent

Dude, the bird flu, SARS and swine flu epidemics were equally publicised. Quit looking for cheap fodders for your conspiracy theories....

coachwilcox: The US Department of Defense (DoD) funded an Ebola trial on humans which started just weeks before the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone, it has emerged.

http://www.drugs.com/clinical_trials/tekmira-doses-first-subject-human-clinical-trial-tkm-ebola-16415.html

The DoD gave a contract worth $140 million dollars to Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company, to conduct Ebola research, which apparently involved injecting and infusing healthy humans with the deadly Ebola virus

"The TKM-Ebola Phase I clinical trial is a
randomized, single-blind, placebo-
controlled study involving single
ascending doses and multiple
ascending doses of TKM-Ebola. The
study will assess the safety, tolerability
and pharmacokinetics of
administering TKM-Ebola to HEALTHY
ADULT SUBJECTS."
