Divided loyalty perhaps? And fighting an ill defined enemy. In Liberia, Somalia and sierra leone they were on a common front with defined objectives and targets. But you cannot rule out ethnic and religious sentiments in Nigeria. |
oduastates: To do what?Which power and asset? ![]() If that be the case, and FG is to take back FG "power" and assets then Lagos will be desolate. Stop making silly statements. |
Whatever it takes to prevent loss of innocent lives should be done. |

Nigeria said yesterday that Ebola caused the death of a Liberian national who died in quarantine in Lagos, confirmation that the worst-ever outbreak of the virus has reached Africa's most populous country. "The patient was subjected to thorough medical tests ... which confirmed the virus of Ebola," as the cause of death, Nigeria's health minister, Onyebuchi Chukwu, told journalists. The 40-year-old worked for the Liberian government and had travelled to Nigeria by air via Togo's capital Lome for a meeting organised by the west African bloc known as ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), the minister said. He was suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhoea upon arrival at the international airport in Lagos and was transported directly to hospital, the minister said. The patient "avoided contact with the general public" between the airport and the hospital, he added.

As of July 20, the number of Ebola cases recorded in the months-long epidemic stood at 1,093, including more than 660 deaths, according to the World Health Organisation. Liberia has seen 127 fatalities. Lagos, the largest city in Sub-Saharan Africa, poses challenges to health officials seeking to contain a spread of the virus. The congested city has terrible sanitation and a poor health system, but the minister assured that the patient did not come into contact with anyone outside the airport aside from medical workers. OP Please read the bolded and desist from alarmist headlines. However, I think a travel ban or very strict monitoring should be in place for visitors from affected countries. |
ISP1KSDATROOF: Name one African country that transformed into Germany after fighting a war...Is there any African country presently like Germany? How then will you transform to Germany after a war. Right before your nose are a people that rose from the ashes of war, yet you go making ridiculous analogies. Onitsha was razed to the ground, Enugu was burnt down, towns were annihilated. Millions of people died. The rest were financially incapacitated yet they have arisen and continued there sojourn , they have even forgiven, they have rebuilt and forged on and even surpassed those who never felt the pangs of war. Those who really felt the war will NEVER clamour for it. |
One funny thing these northern Muslims who are protesting seem not to realise is that the Arabs you are carrying placards for look at at you as second class lesser beings. |
The northern elites are sit by in comfort and watch their brainwashed pawns kill themselves over nothing. I am sure no emir's son will join such a silly protest. It is time the northern populace said no to this exploitation and politico religious brainwashing. |
How was the poor boy able to breath in that thing? ![]() |
adaobi123: I don't get it......why is everyone shocked that a 16 year old weightlifts ? On tv she looks quite young.So many people on this forum lack exposure. |
Kossyne: Public servants are not civil servants.What then is your grouse? The wage bill being referred to is that of the public service which includes some political office holders. Did you not read the article? |
IBB Really? Of all the human beings on earth, you should be the last to move your tongue. Such advice is given from a moral high ground and you who have broken every single rule in the book of democracy and good governance should learn to keep your putrid mouth shut. |
Kossyne: Political office holders are not civil servants. I think your statement is what lacks coherence.They are public servants. |
Alade seems to be speaking from both sides of his mouth, on one hand you admit that Nigerian politicians are the most expensive to pay, on the other you say the wage bill is overestimated. Yet again you go complaining that civil servants are underpaid. If you are to pass across any info to someone as smart as NOI then learn to speak coherently. |
The truth is that Humphrey Nwosu took the DECISIVE FIRST STEP in the June 12 saga. Without him standing up for justice and announcing the results, the rest of the drama would NEVER have happened, it would have been nipped in the bud. |
"We dealt with the civil war for 30 months we fought and we kept Nigeria one and God’s willing we are going to keep Nigeria one.” Some analogies are inappropriate. If you wish to become a civilian president then you must unlearn the crude military utterances, and imbibe diplomacy. Anyway the violence associated with your political ambition is too much to let you near that seat. |
gratiaeo: Buhari may not be a direct sponsor, but clearly was a part of the conspiracy of silence that encouraged the take-off of boko haram initially as a Northern militia group! Now, the north is in trouble because they are the biggest victims of the mindless bloody thirsty, full blown group of heartless terrorist who will stop at nothing to kill all their own people and leaders!Very plausible indeed. |

eddyland: pls dn't mislead anybody here cos i hav seen ppl already seconding u here, though i knw it ws nt ur intention 2 do dat. But let me teach u smthin u dnt knw here. English as u nd me knw is dynamic nd always evolving. It has passd d tim dat when u hear a word, u jst pik up ur oxford dictionary read nd jst com out 2 argue or tink u ar right witout furtha research. D word dialect is ambiguous, yes it can mean wht u refered 2 as dialect bt dat is nt wht d dialect i used denote. What i used up dier denote any ethnic group standard language nd not d variety of same groups language as u tot.English language is all about context, and you used the wrong word. |
Jakumo: The drastic public health measures adopted to stop the Avian Flu SARS virus in Asia might not be carried out as rigorously in Lagos Nigeria, so this news of one confirmed EBOLA victim in Lagos is cause for very great concern to ANYONE who visits Nigeria, as well as all residing there.Award winning alarmist ![]() Well better safe than sorry. |
aminu150: BH is not in any way related to islam. Thank God you were oppurtuned to stay with muslims. Had it mean all muslims are against christians you wont see a single christian in the north. Just think of it that we Nigerians from south, east, west or north can not get so low and start killing each other since we all know its against all religions of Nigeria. This BH we have now are just sponsored by some individuals be it muslims or xtians who want to start another civil war while clueless president looks on and support it either directly or indirectly. I am a muslim from kano and i have christian friends from the south both.I am glad you are a Muslim that does not support chaos, but why will a group of people repeatedly cause violence? Is Islam now a political tool of violence? Please I need you to enlighten others to shun being used as pawns, I think Islam needs to teach about the sanctity of human life. Esp as regards suicide, is deliberately taking one's life regarded as noble? Sincerely, I hate stereotypes and I know that there are good Muslims who are peaceful, but I am confused right now. |
Mbediogu: I am a southern Christian born and bred in the South. My first contact with Moslems was during my NYSC in the middle belt. To be sincere, those guys impressed me to the extent that at a point all my friend were moslems - not by choice but by orientation and non religious affiliation. They were honest and trustworthy. What then has overtaken Islam? Were my friends just pretending or is BH not Islamic?Moslems are not bad people, definitely not, but I just cannot help to think that there is something about Islam that has changed in recent times. I think it has metamorphosed into a dangerous political tool, which has overtaken its basic tenets. |
Northern Nigeria is imploding while the elders sit by and do nothing. Look at the stark contrast of developmental indices between the north and south and you just see that the north is akin to a diabetic foot that should be cut off. How can one still blindly follow a teaching that propagates violence? Why is it that a bomb has never gone off in a mosque in Christian dominated Southern Nigeria? I do not understand this religion of peace. I truly do not. |

Lol! A mad woman in blue is causing a frenzy. It is best to ignore her. |
The six crew members are Spanish, 50 French nationals plus 24 people from Burkina Faso, eight Lebanese, four Algerians, two from Luxembourg, one Belgian, one Swiss, one Nigerian, one Cameroonian, one Ukrainian and one Romanian. Very sad. |
chimoz: It's a very big risk to attempt extinguishing fire with just buckets and water from heavy duty vehicles since the car can easily burst, and you know what happens? Bomb effect.OK, but that is a Mercedes bus, it uses diesel and is less likely to explode, though the flames are difficult to extinguish. |
Instead of people to help they are busy taking pictures. Hope no one was hurt. |
