Kailahu - Hawa Idrisa was
visiting her father-in-law on
an Ebola ward in eastern Sierra
Leone when his drip snapped
out and his atrophying veins
spurted thin, uncoagulated blood into her eyes and mouth. Hawa had been carrying her
infant daughter Helen but
luckily she had laid the child
down, otherwise the baby
would almost certainly be
dead by now. A single droplet of blood
smaller than a full stop can
carry up to 100 million
particles of the deadly Ebola
virus, yet one is enough to end
a human life. "The blood got all over me, and
people were running away. So
I took a bucket of chlorine and
poured it over myself," Hawa
said. She returned home to forget
her ordeal, but a week later
she began experiencing fever
and headaches, the early
symptoms of the Ebola. Her 12-month-old mercifully
tested negative, but her
husband Nallo was infected
and he and Hawa checked into
the Doctors Without
Borders' (MSF) treatment facility in the eastern district
of Kailahun. Hawa spent four weeks
drifting between life and
death at the centre, in the
district capital Kailahan city, a
trading post of 30,000 in the
Kissi triangle linking to Liberia and Sierra Leone. "I didn't know what was
happening to me. I didn't even
know where I was. I don't
remember anything from that
time," she told AFP of the
ordeal she survived. Ebola kills more than half of
the people it infects, putrifying
their insides in the worst cases
until their vital organs seep
from their bodies. It is highly infectious but not
particularly contagious,
meaning that once you are
exposed, your chances of
escaping the fever are
extremely low, although it can only be passed on through
bodily fluids. - Survival and suspicion - The good news is that when
patients are caught early
enough, given paracetamol for
their fevers, kept rehydrated
and nourished, their chances
of survival increase dramatically. Hawa proudly shows off a
certificate saying she has
recovered fully, and she is
preparing to return home. "I know there is nothing
wrong with my daughter, but
my mind and heart will be at
the centre with my husband,"
she says. Already more than 2,100
people have been infected
across four west African
countries, and 1,145 people
have died, dwarfing previous
Ebola outbreaks. The epidemic is perhaps worst
of all in Sierra Leone, which
has registered 810 cases, more
than any other country. The hardest-hit districts,
Kailahun and the diamond
trading hub of Kenema next
door, have been sealed off to
ordinary members of the
public. Around a million people in the
two districts are in effective
lockdown, and locals say
soaring food prices are
pushing the region towards a
crisis. Local doctors and nurses are
fighting not just the disease,
but also the distrust of locals
who fear modern medical
practices. Relatives have been known to
snatch infected loved-ones
from clinics to die in their own
villages, exacerbating the
spread of the virus. They have even attacked
treatment centres -- as armed
men did in neighbouring
Liberia at the weekend ---
convinced that Ebola is a
Western conspiracy against traditional African
communities and that foreign
healthworkers are in on the
secret. Some 1,500 police and soldiers
have been deployed to prevent
raids, but they are powerless
faced with the suspicion and
fear of poorly educated
traditional communities. Many tribespeople at the
epicentre of the outbreak
either don't know how to
prevent and treat Ebola or do
not believe it exists at all. This, says MSF, is where the
survivors come in. - Building trust - Ella Watson-Stryker, 34, a
health promoter with the aid
agency, is part of a team
taking Hawa and other
survivors home to their
villages. She will gather their
neighbours and family
members around, answer their
questions about the virus and
try to reassure them that
Hawa poses no danger. "This is very exciting for us.
It's also really beneficial to the
overall response to the
outbreak because when
survivors go home, they can
explain about their stay at the centre. "They give people hope that it
is possible to survive and it
really builds trust between the
community and MSF," she says. Watson-Stryker also says that
when survivors go back to
their communities, people
begin to understand that
treatment centres are not just
"a place where people go to die". They are surprised to learn
that patients are fed, given
unlimited soft drinks, access to
toilets, showers and medicine,
and that their families are
encouraged to visit. "We try to assuage the fears of
the community, because there
are a lot of rumours out there,
that as soon as you come to
the treatment centre you will
just be left to die." Back at the MSF centre, Nallo
enthuses about his future with
Hawa and their baby girl,
despite remaining in grave
danger in the high risk area. "At first people thought that
when they got here, they were
going to have all their blood
removed and they would die,"
he says. "They have been giving me
drugs and I am much better, so
when I get back to my
community I will tell people
that if it ever happens that
they get Ebola we advise them to come here."http://m.news24.com/nigeria/Africa/News/Survivors-enlisted-in-Sierra-Leones-Ebola-battle-20140818-3

The All Progressives
Congress (APC) has condemned
renewed plans by the
Nasarawa House of Assembly
to impeach Governor Tanko Al-
Makura. According to the opposition
party, the state lawmakers'
move was unconstitutional as
a duly constituted
impeachment panel had
cleared the governor of the charges leveled against him. The party's National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, said it would
amount to an illegality for the
lawmakers to draft a pliant
vacation judge, as it had been reported, to set up another
panel to probe the allegations
over which the Governor has
been absolved of any
wrongdoing.http://m.news24.com/nigeria/Politics/News/APC-slams-new-plan-to-impeach-Nasarawa-governor-20140818

Maiduguri - Nigeria's Boko
Haram militant group
kidnapped 100 people earlier
this month but most were
freed by security forces from
neighbouring Chad, a Nigerian security official and a local
self-defence member said on
Friday. The abductions took place on
10 Aug in Doron Baga in the
Kukawa area near the border
with Chad, said the official,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the
media. He said the terrorists were
stopped as they crossed the
Chad border by Chadian
soldiers who killed most of
them and set free most of the
captives. Muhammed Gava, a member
of the anti-Boko Haram
vigilante movement, said 20
females and about 70 young
men had been forced to board
speed boats in Lake Chad, which lies on the border
between Nigeria, Chad, Niger
and Cameroon. Nigeria's fight against the
extremist group began in 2009
but hit the international
spotlight in mid-April, when
the militants kidnapped more
than 200 schoolgirls. The girls have still not been freed.
More than 4 000 people -
mostly civilians - have been
killed this year alone by all
sides in the conflict, which
include Nigerian security forces, Amnesty International
said on 5 Aug. This compares
to an estimated 3 600 people
killed in the first four years of
the Islamic insurgency. While the group's attacks are
mostly in northeast Nigeria,
Boko Haram has detonated
bombs as far away as Lagos,
the commercial capital in
Nigeria's southwest.

i refuse to comment.

if not nino silver,what did they used to cure him?

wirinet: And what proof do you have that eating bat meat or any other bush meat brought ebola to Nigeria? Is Patrick Sawyer a bush meat? Every person that contracted ebola from Nigeria contracted it directly or indirectly from Patrick Sawyer. I do not understand how bush meat comes into question. Nigerians have been eating bush meat from time immemorial, and no one had ever caught ebola from bush meat and i doubt anyone would ever catch ebola from eating bush meat.

that ur grammer no concern me.go on n eat bath meat.

this is good but i wish the OS is android.

looser! Hunting bat meat for consuption.is like these people want to bring the ebola season2. This hunters should go to sambisa forest for better hunting.leave bat n monkies alone.

APC is a sinking ship while PDP is a moving ship.no man in his right senses will join a ship that is about capsiding.I wish pdp has a better opponent.

APC trying to console theirself. Sign of self pity.

it is a time of joy indeed.

election is not war, but a celebration of democracy

its always good to project a good image of one's country to the world instead of dwelling in lamentation.

Move Borno state forward first then comeback and move Nigeria forward. The backwardness of this nation always starts from the North yet Northeners has little or nothing good to contribute to the nation.
