OP
Please you are endangering the lives of people who are gullible enough to believe you.

Remember people believed drinking salt would save them, and it has killed more Nigerians than Ebola.

Please desist from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories.

Fashola is the most sellable but he will still fail woefully given that his second tenure is a sham.

toba: here this mumu.

How did Sawyer get into Nigeria, without being singled out by airport officials?

Did Labaran Maku not claim that should there be anything Ebola within our boundary it will be quickly tackled?

Health workers cried out yesterday that they don't have any government encouragement to risk their lives to save Ebola victims, so whats your point?

My point is that you are talking thrash.

toba: This is just plainly silly. Will they have the corpse tested first or just make such stupeed pronouncement? Medicine after death as usual. They should have been proactive before it came and not after it came they now want to use a sledge hammer to kill an ant. Since the outbreak in April 2014 killed more than 90 people in Guinea and Liberia, with another suspected case reported in Mali. Ghana stepped up its health surveillance on its borders with Togo, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. It trained port and border workers to detect signs of the disease, set up a national committee, restocked testing equipment and established a telephone hotline. That is what good countries do. What did Nigeria do? Nothing. Nigeria will wait until it is too late before it starts throwing money at the issue so there will be enough to steal ahead of election. How did Sawyer pass through checks at the Airport without being singled out?

Liebaran Maku the Disinformation minster said this couple of months a go

"Citizens are reassured that there is no Ebola fever in the country and all the checks so far undertaken declare clearly that we don't have it. Yes, there are some cases in two or three West African countries but the ministry has assured that should there be anything like that within our boundary it will be quickly tackled," he said.


Speaking at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja, the ministry said the council was briefed by the health ministry on the disease.

"The FEC was briefed by the Federal Ministry of Health on the alleged outbreak of Ebola virus in Nigeria. FEC was informed that the health ministry experts, within the week, checked out the reports of purported outbreak of the disease and found none to be true," Maku said.

We just have to feel sorry for ourselves cos we have incompetent leaders at the top

Thrash.

Looool!

The Osun thread must have really hurt some people permanently.


I can even see pictures of Rio De Janeiro and Oshogbo.

size38: There is nothing like a better alternative to GEJ. The issue is this, PDP should be voted out of power in 2015 because under their rulership, Nigerians have suffered so much pains and poverty. 15 wasted yrs under the bad govt of PDP.

Hmmm

In other words you are rooting for Buhari.

Unemadu thanks for the pics.
Please keep them coming.

Keky: See this Dunce oooo, ask your stupid customized igbo frd why he opened this thread, he couldn't open the thread for the slums in your useless area, states like Abia, Anambra, etc. Why Lagos? Rubbish. Nonsensical DUNCE.

He lives in Lagos

Is this supposed to be a comedy?

MzJackBaueress: do you know what is called "precautionary measures". Do you have to wait for ebola virus to come to abuja before you set up an isolation centre?
My friend,keep quiet osiso!!

It makes me sad that so many of us cannot reason properly again.
Imagine if the person you quoted ends up occupying a decision taking position.

That is a sad development.

The man was 75 years, he has also allegedly been receiving ZMapp, there is a possibility that his age and immune status could have played a role here.

I will still commend our struggle here in Nigeria to keep the infected cases alive.

I don laff taya.

This is probably the funniest thread in recent times.

Krak: GEJ is very wrong, the man was not only crazy, I think he was in fact both mad and also a lunatic.

If GEJ had consulted me before making that statement I would have borrowed him all the adjectives needed to describe that "Crazy Man".

REPORTAGE IN THIS COUNTRY IS ABYSMAL.

Even mother nature does not support the story.

What's with the yellow teeth?

He should laugh less often .

Are the gods angry?

80 cases in 3 months!

In a state of well over 3 million.
That is probably the lowest rate of rape I have come across anywhere in the world

Even Ibadan records more than that in a month.

Wow!
This is an eye opener

arsetalks: Many people are saying Nigeria probably got rejected because it is not epidemic here, that can't be true. If it was, they would have said it.

[s]Our rejection shows how lowly the western world rates GEJ's administration. I am sure a country like America knows the importance of stopping the disease before it becomes epidemic and can't have asked us to wait for it to become epidemic before sending help.[/s]

To be honest, we had enough time to avoid the problem but we procrastinated and now think America will help us. Why should they?

They are simply telling us to suffer more for our lack of action from the onset and rightly so.

Your moniker shows where you are talking and reasoning from.

The drug is in limited supply and is still experimental, Liberia is about the worst hit, along with Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Nigeria is the least affected, in fact the other confirmed cases seem to be showing signs of improvement.
All confirmed cases in Nigeria are primary contacts of Sawyer the index case.
In other words Libera needs it most.

The reason the approval of the drugs were sped up is that the WHO ethical committee raised questions on how and why the Spanish government procured the drug from the company in lieu of the hot spots where they are needed.

I must commend the minister of health on this.

This is one scenario Nigeria stood up to the occasion.

Where are all those wretched pessimists who were busy encouraging contacts to run from healthcare workers?!


Not everything Nigerian is bad.

Liberia is a good first choice because the disease is out of control and they need all the help they can get.

I'm guessing Sierra Leone will be the next on the line before Guinea and Nigeria depending on availability of supplies.

All this may have also been sped up following the ethical questions raised by WHO on how the Spanish government procured the drug.

Golden girl, keep it up!

I don't think they are any more tolerant than the rest of the southerners.

Marotzke: If know the level of pressure applied on the president by his children, you will pity the poor man.

In a development that raises a host of ethical issues, Spain announced it had obtained a scarce U.S.-made experimental Ebola drug to treat a Spanish missionary priest infected with the killer virus.

So far the experimental drug ZMapp has been used to treat two infected Americans and a Spaniard but no Africans for a hemorrhagic disease that has been ravaging West Africa for months and has killed about 50 per cent of those it infects. That news came as medical experts debated the ethical questions surrounding experimental Ebola drugs and vaccines during a teleconference Monday organized by the U.N. health agency.


There is no known cure or licensed treatment for Ebola, which has killed over 960 people in the current outbreak in West Africa. The World Health Organization has called the Ebola outbreak — which emerged in Guinea in March and has since spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and possibly Nigeria — an international health emergency and urged nations worldwide to battle the disease.

The drug's maker, Mapp Pharmaceutical Inc. of San Diego, says on its website that "very little of the drug is currently available" and that it is co-operating with government agencies to increase production as quickly as possible.

Nigerian officials say they had asked U.S. health authorities about getting the Ebola drug last week.



"It certainly looks bad that only three Westerners have gotten the drug while most of the people with Ebola are African," said Art Caplan, director of bioethics at NYU Langone Medical Center. He said the drugmaker must make its policy for distributing its treatment clear. "I don't think this scarce resource should just be given to whoever is best connected."

Still, Caplan said there might be a reasonable explanation for why only Westerners were given the drug, including the need for a sophisticated medical centre to administer it and monitor the patient carefully since the drug hasn't been tested in humans.

But some Africans said giving the experimental drug only to Westerners was patently unfair.

"There's no reason to try this medicine on sick white people and to ignore blacks," said Marcel Guilavogui, a pharmacist in Conakry, Guinea. "We understand that it's a drug that's being tested for the first time and that could have negative side effects. But we have to try it in blacks too."

Boko Haram sympathetic and non Boko Haram sympathetic factions.

sicily4u: Any Ebola case from Gambia ?

No, however Gambian bird airline operates flights to Liberia, Sierra Leone etc.

The economy of the EU is so intricately woven.

Ordinary Greece almost dragged back EU into recession.

What more of Russia, a falling Russia will invariably drag the EU back into recession and eventually the US and the rest of the world.

Apart from perhaps Africa whose economy for now is less globalized and" recession proof".

That is why the scramble for investment is on in Africa.

ChrisOD: The title is a question which i open to answer any which way anyone likes. Got it?

With the way you are carrying on now, I hope you do not have a ''heart attack'' when you read some of the scathing comments on the original facebook post. Take am easy oh!!!

Not every story on the internet is true.

Reference: Will you be willing to accept your postulation in PDP governed states. Will you be willing to accept this from the government in the centre. Will you be willing to accept that Jonathan is rounding up or winding down ahead of 2015 and so cannot deliver. Will you be willing to lend an equitable hand and criticize all and sundry based on the kind of clear evidence you can see displayed without bias.

Oya do the right thing.

Thank you brother.

Million dollar questions.

Making excuses for failure but unwilling to accept other people's excuses.

That is called hy........
