How come Nigeria is not first.

Because not every part of Nigeria get internet access. But scammers are working on this technical problem,and soon Nigeria will be Number One.

ElRazur:
The whole idea of issuing gloves and mask is to curtail the spread rate - The transmission rate of the virus. It at least potentially stops those having the virus to spread it on, and those free from the virus catching it.

Virus are almost inactive in certain states, having no viable condition to thrive in is one of them.

I see!!, So gloves and masks cannot stop the virus to enter Nigeria,and gloves and masks cannot detect the virus. Are we safe?

all agencies working at the airport had been put on alert by the Federal Ministry of Health through the Public Health Department‘s Port Health Services at the Lagos and Abuja airports, and that masks, gloves and thermometer had been made available to them.

So how can masks and gloves can stop the virus to enter at airports?.Can someone explain to me?

Frizy:
am opposed to this mascarce. You may be noticed on this forum that I support views that are sometimes viewed by moderate Muslims as extreme, I do not and would not support views of eliminating animals that are haram for Muslims. Please don't take this that I desire Christians in Egypt or wherever to feed on pork-- far from that. But this animals have a right to life! When they have no diseases.

If a Muslim country wants to eliminate pigs, they should isolate them away from the confines of it's territory.

So what do you think?

Well I am in a state of shock . So if you are against the religious belief of islam you can get beheaded, but the swine this filthy animal this anti-islamic animal should be protected.??
Please explain to me, !!!!

blacksta:
Biggest propaganda - That is how Yar adua's team said that Nigeria is insulated from the Global financial Meltdown. Can the minister let the public know how he arrived at this conclusion.

1. What have they tested and where ? .
2. Have they started a mass campaign on how to detect or identify the symptoms of swine flu.
3. Do we have enough antivirus vaccines in storage just in case ( Britain has a stock pile of over 30 Million anti flu vaccines in storage)
4. Do we have monitoring teams at all the ports
5. Where are the health centers to go for advice or vaccines

Because i know it is Nigeria and also we lack the technical and infrastructure for all the above . That minister is a bloody liar.

when will these people face reality.

I agree, and they talk only about human-to-human transmission of the virus in Nigeria, but what about swine-to-human transmission in Nigeria. They dont give us a statistics on the number of swines  in Nigeria and they dont know if some swine are infected. Where is the result of tests on all the swines?.How much swines there is in Nigeria?. How much swine are "healthy"in Nigeria?

blacksta:
i have been to the site and it states


There is no Amnesty International presence in this country

Because there is no human right at all in Nigeria, but you can still send emails, people have to ACT,or who will be next in the hand of this "Police"??

[size=18pt]Africa awaits two swine flu tests [/size]

Africa's first two possible cases of the potentially killer swine flu virus are being tested in South Africa. Both women, one from Gauteng, the other from Western Cape, had "mild symptoms", said Lucille Blumberg, of the National Institute for Communicable Diseases. It comes as the African Union prepared to establish a continent-wide response to any major outbreak of the virus. The World Health Organization has raised the swine flu alert level to warn a global pandemic may be imminent. The two South Africans had recently visited Mexico, epicentre of the disease, said officials.

Sample bungle

Neither was seriously ill and one had already recovered after receiving anti-viral treatments. But health authorities said they were unlikely to be able to confirm if one of the women did have the virus as her sample had not been stored properly. Ms Blumberg said swine flu tests needed to be sent overseas for confirmation, as South African laboratories could still only do preliminary examinations.

https://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45718000/jpg/_45718600_007230982-1.jpg

Local laboratory test results are expected in days. One of the women was named by Die Burger newspaper as 58-year-old Susan Kok, of Mossel Bay, Western Cape. The newspaper reported that she had been feeling unwell when she returned to South Africa with her husband last Saturday, after a month-long holiday in Mexico. "We spent quite a bit of time on trains and buses. And we were at the airport in Mexico City three times, so I thought the cough was just due to jet lag," she told Die Burger.

'A continental plan'

The African Union has been working on an emergency response to swine flu at a conference in Ethiopia. "We hope to establish a continental plan for prevention, and if necessary a mechanism to fight this outbreak that has not yet affected Africa," the AU's Peace and Security Commissioner Jean Ping said in Addis Ababa. Egypt has ordered the nation's quarter of a million pigs to be slaughtered over swine flu fears, in the first such move in the world, even though experts say the virus cannot be transmitted by eating meat. The authorities in Ghana have banned imports of pork and pork products and the Central African nation Gabon has followed suit. Health monitoring has been stepped up at ports from Kenya and Ethiopia in East Africa to Senegal and Mauritania in the west. Mozambique has sent medical teams to its main seaports, which are some of the busiest in southern Africa.And authorities in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, have said they are ready to cope with any swine flu outbreak. The WHO raised the alert to the second highest level of five on Wednesday after a Mexican child died while on a visit to the US state of Texas - the first death from the swine flu outside Mexico. Officials put the number of suspected deaths from the bug in Mexico at 159, although just eight deaths have been confirmed. Since the virus emerged last week, it has also spread to Canada, Europe, Israel, and New Zealand.

Jesus Did Contradict Himself

- Luke says that Jesus first appeared in Jerusalem to the eleven disciples. (Luke 24:33, 35, 37)
- Matthew says it was at Galilee on a mountain. (Matthew 28:16)

- Christ’s first sermon was in the plain. (Luke 6:17, 20)
- Christ preached his first sermon on the mount. (Matthew 5: 1, 2).

And you wonder why Christianity is divided into so many sects, and no one know their destiny ??

@esensed

This part (Above) is right in your Bible,you dont need a link just look in the book

noetic:
while i understand that this is ur opinion and perception of my person, I must however state that this is false and malicious.

I have constatntly limited my contribution to issues. If u have any reasonable reason to question my beliefs, please raise them. While u do so, be smart enough to tell me what ur beliefs are.

There is nothing malicious about Facts. Belief is ignorance. Belief is to ignore the facts, intentionally or ignorantly. If one has to believe, that means he or she does not know , and if one does not know , that is ignorance. Hence, belief is ignorance and religious beliefs without the facts is ignorance.

noetic:
he made a claim without proof. . . .that literarily mean he was lying, considering his antecedents.

when he provided evidence, he proved he wasnt lying. . . simple.

So why did you accused him of lying the first time because you didnt provided evidence that he was lying in the first time?
Why are you accusing without proofs of a lie FIRST?.

[size=18pt]Swine flu alert: Can Africa cope with a pandemic?[/size]

The whole world is on alert .The swine flu virus appeared Saturday in Mexico and has already killed nearly 150 people. The spread is fast and dangerous. Only three days after being detected, suspected cases have been discovered in the United States, Canada, Spain, Great Britain, China , On Monday, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised its alert level to 4 on a scale of 6, which corresponds to a high pandemic risk. For the moment Africa appears not to be affected, but the continent is highly vulnerable, says the UN.

Tuesday 28 April 2009

"No region in the world is safe" from the swine flu virus, declared the World Health Organization (WHO) as it raised its alert level to 4 on a scale of 6. This indicates a "significant increase in the risk of a pandemic." Major tourist destinations in Africa are particularly exposed to this risk. In a statement released Monday, Michele Montas, spokeswoman for Ban Ki-moon, UN secretary-general, said that poor African countries are particularly vulnerable. According to her, after multiple crises that have beset the world in recent times, namely; food, energy, economic and financial , the UN must "ensure that they (African countries that are hardest hit by the seies of crises) are not disproportionately affected by a potential health crisis. The World Bank, development agencies and humanitarian assistance of the United Nations are ready, she says, to make funds available to countries that need to combat the epidemic.

Fever detectors at Moroccan airports

A few African countries have already announced precautionary measures. In Morocco, close to Spain, where the first European case of the disease has been reported, the Ministry of Health has stated that provisions against the introduction of A/H1N1 viruses on its territory have been made. A device already in place since 2005 has been reactivated. An earlier plan to combat an outbreak of the avian flu is still pertinent in the fight against the swine flu, according to the authorities of the Kingdom of Morocco. The main measures concerned, basically, involve the strengthening of health checks at land borders, ports and airports. Fever detecting cameras have also been installed at airports. Epidemiological surveillance, both clinical and biological, of the common flu and acute respiratory infections has also been strengthened. In Algeria, Ghana and Togo, health authorities on Monday said they were closely observing the development of the disease and have increased health checks. Although the African media has loudly sounded the alarming and rapid spread of the virus around the world as well as the alert given by the World Health Organization (WHO), most African states have remained silent in the face of a looming health catastrophe.

Adhering to the rules of basic hygiene

The disease, which appeared in Mexico April 24 and has already caused an estimated 150 deaths among thousands of cases, is spreading like wild fire the world over. Known or suspected cases have been detected in the United States, Canada, Spain, Australia, Israel, China , The disease, type A flu virus H1N1 is transmitted from person to person via the respiratory route. Last Sunday the WHO described the new virus as subtype A/H1N1 that has never been previously detected in pigs or humans.The symptoms of the swine influenza are similar to those of ordinary seasonal flus. They are characterized by fevers, headaches, aching muscles, According to the World health organization, the virus responsible for recent human cases of swine influenza responds to oselatmivir molecules (marketed as Tamiflu) and zanamivir (whose trade name is Relenza). To be effective, Tamiflu must be taken no later than 48 hours after the onset of symptoms, indicated the manufacturing laboratory, Roche.Several other laboratories indicate that the first doses of a vaccine will only be available in 4 months. But this time limit remains to be confirmed in relation to the characteristics of the virus. In the meantime, health professionals strongly recommend that basic hygiene rules (washing of hands, avoiding physical contact , ) be strictly adhered to.According to the WHO, which announced the dangers surrounding the spread of the virus, the AH1N1 flu pandemic can be avoided.

[size=18pt]Cancer on sale as fake cigarettes hit Nigerian market[/size]

Fake and possibly harmful cigarettes are set to be released into the Nigerian market
unless relevant government regulatory and monitoring agencies swing into immediate
action, Consumer Protection Council (CPC), has warned.

By Konye Obaji Ori, Lucas Radicella       

According to intelligence reports, five of the ten containers load of cigarettes containing about 4,560 cases of a fake and harmful cigarette product loaded on trucks belonging to a tobacco dealer in Nigeria have left Lome Port in Togo, and heading for the Niger-Nigeria border for possible entry into the country.The other five containers however are already at the Tincan Island Port in Lagos ready to be cleared and distributed.The CPC council in an attempt to save Nigerian consumers from effects of substandard cigarettes have sent letters to Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) and the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on this development, charging them to intercept before the contents of the containers get into the markets.The council in its letter to the two authorities said: ‘Our recent findings, however, show that while some manufacturers/importers are making frantic efforts to follow the implementation schedule for the new changes, others appear to be looking for possible avenues to circumvent the rules.’The products in the containers have not complied with the labeling requirements and the CPC have warned that allowing this products into the market would constitute a breach of the resolutions reached by all stakeholders in the industry to comply with Cigarette Standard NIS 463: 2007 at a recent workshop organized by SON.The General Secretary of the Health Care Providers’ Association of Nigeria, Dr. Adeyeye Arigbabuwo, has disclosed that about 32 Health Management Organisations (NHIS) and 7,000 providers had so far been accredited for the Nigerian Health Insurance Scheme.“As of today, about three million Nigerians benefit from the NHIS,” he said, adding that one hundred and thirty seven (137) million Nigerians were not covered by the scheme.Should these cigarettes hit the Nigerian market, not only will the risk of cancer, already associated with long-term cigarette smoking, be particularly problematic for the budget-strapped health sector but also immediate health hazards to millions of Nigerians without appropriate health insurance covers.

[size=15pt]Obama's swine flu scare after shaking hands with archaeologist who died a week later[/size]

28th April 2009


A man who shook Barack Obama's hand in Mexico died the next week from symptoms similar to those of swine flu.
The White House insisted the President's health was not in any danger, but he was said to be taking the threat of an epidemic 'very seriously'. The President's health advisers were already concerned about his visit south of the border after learning the contagious virus first struck in Mexico City on April 13 - three days before Mr Obama flew in to meet government officials.Their alarm grew after learning that Felipe Solis, director of the National Anthropology Museum, had died from pneumonia.

Health fears: American President Barack Obama shook hands with
Felipe Solis, who died the following day from flu-like symptoms

Mr Solis had taken Mr Obama on a tour of the museum on April 16, a week before his death. Mexican health boss Jose Cordova, however, said Mr Solis was already ill and his death was unrelated to swine flu. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs insisted: ‘The president’s trip to Mexico has not put his health in any danger.’ He added: ‘The incubation period is 24 to 48 hours and we have been back from Mexico for nine days now. The doctors say he was not at risk.’ Mr Obama was in Mexico for less than a day before heading to a ‘Summit of the Americas’ in Trinidad and Tobago.

Mr Obama took some flak for playing golf on Sunday, but Mr Gibbs said he was being updated regularly on the outbreak by the State Department and the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.The virus is said to have infected twelve people in Kansas, California, Ohio and Texas and sickened at least another eight students in New York.Speaking at a White House briefing last night, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said a ‘stockpile’ of anti-viral drugs was being released to help keep the disease at bay. Announcing a state of emergency, she said border security would be increased with visitors being quizzed over possible swine flu symptoms.‘The president is very concerned about the recent cases of swine flu,’ added presidential assistant John Brennan.He said Mr Obama was offering his ‘full support’ to Mexico efforts to control the disease.‘The U.S. government is working to ‘mitigate a broader outbreak in the United States.’ Dr Richard Besser, acting director of the Centre for Disease Control, urged Americans to improve hygiene by washing hands more regularly and staying at home if they fell sick."We expect to see more cases of swine flu,’ he said, adding that work was under way to identify and produce a vaccine. Of the U.S. swine flu patients, only one needed hospital treatment and none of those infected were seriously ill.

so u weren't lying afterall, but does that mean u aren't a liar?

Well if you accused him of lying then you should produce the Facts and a proof of the alleged lie.
Where are your facts

noetic:
who? where? when? how?
did I ever imply this or the vice versa? where? when? how?
who? when? where? how have I seen a mistake in anyone?
now I think u are confused

1- Yes you are judging anybody who is not a christian, anywhere on the forum.
2- And yes you see mistakes in anyone who do not follow the religion of the slave master like a sheep.
3- Instead of just judging anybody who do not follow like you the religion of the slave master you should produce the facts.
4- Instead of attempting to impose upon people your religious beliefs,you should produce the facts.
5- If your are not producing Facts when you accuse other people of lies then you are in a state of confusion.

noetic:
I just cant figure out the relevance of ur questions to the thread. I smell hypocrisy in the air!!!

Just say that you CANT answer,and you will realise that the smell come from your own hypocrisy!!

LoL, In that picture it looks like he's praying for the chair, -.-

He ask the chair for more and more MONEY.
Let us see how the chair will answer his prayers.

noetic:
what are u talking about?

when did u loose the ability to understand simple english? please read my post again.
This is (4) four questions for you.

Jairzinho:
Horus,huxley probably one & the same

Why?, because both of us are not following like a sheep the religion of the slave master?
Why are you so paranoid?

In 2 Samuel 10:18 and 1 Chronicles 19:18, like many bible quotes, the zero was lost. According to 2 Samuel 10:18 David slew 700 chariots and 40,000 horsemen. Yet 1 Chronicles 19:18 says that David slew 7,000 chariots and 40,000 footmen.
Which one is correct? Neither, because there were no numbers in the original Hebrew bible. They used the first ten letters and the sifr, which is the zero (0) that was invented by the Arabs. It came from the Ashuric/Syraic (Arabic) word safara meaning “nothing to be nothing” or sifr “to be empty,” from which you see comes the word cipher. So, there are many mathematical mistakes in the bible with quantities and dates, because it had to be adjusted to someone else’s system. Now, if you look up the word math you will see that it simply means  “science, to learn.” This just goes to show you that the stories of the bible are not accurate and have been revised, re-revised, re-edited, rewritten and rearranged so that you wouldn’t receive an accurate account of the original story. They played “telephone man” with the story being passed down through so many people.
