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........

This man na confirmed tout.

Eko oni ogbanje!

Hyundai ix35( Tucson) for 1.9M?

OP your source is very questionable.

Goddex: So, Lagos state govt is contributing only land? They are even fraudulently inflating the cost of the land.

Why were these Louthmouthed APC supporters of APC running their stinking mouths with lies of Fashola building a Lekki seaport if the actual financing is to be done by GEJ and a foreign investor?

supporters of APC lying since 1521

APC has always been a clog in the wheel of progress.

See how their ineptitude has frustrated the FG's programs.

Rail transport is a very important means that will help take the pressure off our roads.

Kudos to the government for being steadfast in their commitment on rail transport.

Kano to Lagos is on already others will follow suit.

If the locals are not ready to rat out the terrorists amongst them then Boko Haram will continue.
