 Health › Ebola Patients May Use Ibuprofen To Beat Airport Detection – Expert by fun4(op): 5:10pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
An infection control specialist, and president of Behavioural-based Improvement Solutions in Atlanta, Sean Kaufman, on Friday said people who contracted Ebola in West Africa could get through airport screenings and onto a plane. Mr. Kaufman said that more must be done to identify infected travellers who could lie and take a lot of ibuprofen to beat the airport authorities. “People can take ibuprofen to reduce their fever enough to pass screening, and why wouldn’t they? “If it will get them on a plane so they can come to the United States and get effective treatment after they’re exposed to Ebola, wouldn’t you do that to save your life? ‘’ he said. Reports said on Thursday that the first Ebola patient to be diagnosed in the United States had lied on a questionnaire at the Monrovia airport about his exposure to an Ebola patient. He flew to Brussels and then Dulles airport outside Washington, D.C., before landing in Dallas on Sept. 20. The traveller, Thomas Duncan, had no symptoms when he left Liberia, and fever scans there had shown a normal body temperature of 97.3 degrees Fahrenheit, U.S. health officials said. He therefore could not have been identified through examination as carrying the Ebola virus. His arrival and hospitalisation in Dallas have underscored how much U.S. authorities are relying on their counterparts in West African countries to screen passengers and contain the worst Ebola outbreak on record.

| Politics › PDP Leads APC In Niger State Senatorial Bye-election As INEC Says Inconclusive by fun4(op): 3:34pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the Niger East Senatorial District election inclusive. INEC said on Sunday that this was as a result of violence and irregularities recorded in seven polling units across four local government areas of the district. INEC’s Returning Officer the election, Prof. Wole Morenikeji, said at the Commission’s head office in Minna that the results from the polling units have been cancelled. According to Morenikeji: “A re-run of elections in the affected pooling units will hold on Saturday, 6th September, 2014. “The local government areas affected are Shiroro, with three polling units cancelled as a result of violence; Munya local government area for electoral irregularities; and in Tafa Local Government Area, Corps members were taken to wrong polling units. “In Rafi Local Government Area, the Youth Corps members reported to us that they were harassed and the touts took away electoral materials from them.” As at the time of filing this report, Nuhu Zagbayi of the Peoples Democratic Party was leading with 89,698 votes, while David Umaru of the All Progressives Congress had 84,640 votes. Also confirming the development, INEC Head of Information in Niger State, Mohammed Waze, said until the supplementary election is held, the winner cannot be declared. Waze, who spoke to journalists, said: “The Niger East Senatorial by-election is inconclusive. “A supplementary election will hold on Saturday September 6th, so that a clear winner will emerge and final result released.” The seat of the district in the Senate became vacant on June 12 following the death of Senator Dahiru Aweisu Kuta. . www.newtelegraphonline.com/inec-declares-niger-east-senatorial-district-poll-inconclusive/ |

| Politics › Army Has Placed Orders For Anti-boko Haram Ammunition — General Minimah by fun4(op): 11:40am On Aug 24, 2014 |
CHIEF of the Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minimah, says the army would soon end the Boko Haram insurgency in the northern part of the country. Speaking at the 2 Brigade barracks, Port Harcourt, Minimah said the Federal Government had placed orders for military hardware, adding that when they arrive, soldiers would launch offensive against Boko Haram to bring its activities to an end. “The Federal Government has placed orders for equipment. As soon as they come in, we will launch a major offensive that will bring the madness, insurgency to an end, he said. According to him, the army was making significant impact in the war against crude oil theft. “Our effort is ongoing, the bunkerers themselves are human, they are not ghosts. So while we are doing our best, they are devising news ways. But you will agree with me that the effort to checking this menace is more than ever. We can’t say we will stamp it out in one day, but then the greater part of pursuing the bunkerers is ongoing and that with time we will begin to see greater result.”, he said. When asked to speak on military presence was relevant during elections inspite of criticisms from some quarters, the COAS said, “I can’t answer that question because that is not why I have come here”. Meantime, Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State has called for less visibility of the army during elections. The governor spoke when Minimah led top army officers on a courtesy visit to him at Government House, Port Harcourt. He further called on the army to assist the state in the fight against kidnapping. “The military needs to play lesser role in politics. I have said that severally. I am sure you will ensure that the relationship between the military, civilians and politicians is cordial, such that the 2015 elections would not be controversial,” Amaechi said. “I want the 2nd Amphibious Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Bori Camp to work with us, because we need to stamp out kidnapping in Rivers State. There are competing economies in the country and the largest of all is Lagos while the second is Rivers State and if kidnapping continues, our economy will crash, unemployment will rise and we may not be able to compete with the comity of states.” . . www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/army-placed-orders-anti-boko-haram-ammunition-minimah/ |
