nothingbutruth: Thanks pal, you made my day. But I believe poor samplegirl was completely misunderstood. I believe what she was trying to say is that the problem with Nigeria is not all about who is the present President. Nigerian problem is about Nigerians where virtually every citizen is selfish and corrupt from within. Foot-soldiers rig election. How many of those people who lash SAMPLEGIRL will reject a 10,000 000 bribe to change election figures? Every corner I look I see NIGERIANS behaving like wild animal even in the house of worship but we are all righteous.
She did say that if we had got it right Goodluck wouldn't have got platform to emerge in the first place and I believe her. What did we do when those men were rigging elections? nothing . We were busy waiting to blame who ever emerges meanwhile we were instrumental to the whole mess.
Until we look ourselves in the mirror and tell ourselves the truth that we have a collective duty to make this country work, we maybe beating about the bush.. Tell me the Nigerian who will expose his kinsman for looting the treasury, none. Show me the Nigerian who will not DEEP his hands if opportunity comes, your guess is as good as mine.

GenBuhari: Its not one case its zero cases.

I said all along that whole Ebola epidemic is a hoax


Rabies facts from W.H.O.

Fact Sheet N°99
Updated August 2014

Key facts

Rabies occurs in more than 150 countries and territories.
More than 60 000 people die of rabies every year mostly in Asia and Africa.
40% of people who are bitten by suspect rabid animals are children under 15 years of age.
Dogs are the source of the vast majority of human rabies deaths.
Wound cleansing and immunization within a few hours after contact with a suspect rabid animal can prevent the onset of rabies and death.
Every year, approximately 29 million people worldwide receive a post-exposure vaccination to prevent the disease at an estimated cost of US$2.1 billion.
Rabies is a zoonotic disease (a disease that is transmitted to humans from animals) that is caused by a virus. The disease affects domestic and wild animals, and is spread to people through close contact with infectious material, usually saliva, via bites or scratches.

Rabies is present on all continents with the exception of Antarctica, but more than 95% of human deaths occur in Asia and Africa. Once symptoms of the disease develop, rabies is nearly always fatal. Rabies is a neglected disease of poor and vulnerable populations whose deaths are rarely reported. It occurs mainly in remote rural communities where measures to prevent dog to human transmission have not been implemented.

More than 100 countries report cases of rabies in dogs putting people at risk. Vaccinating at least 70% of dogs breaks the cycle of transmission in dogs and to humans. Safe, efficacious and affordable dog rabies vaccines are available, and countries embarking on rabies elimination need easy access to quality-assured dog vaccines for vaccination campaigns and for outbreak management.

Symptoms
The incubation period for rabies is typically 1–3 months, but may vary from <1 week to >1 year. The initial symptoms of rabies are fever and often pain or an unusual or unexplained tingling, pricking or burning sensation (paraesthesia) at the wound site.

As the virus spreads through the central nervous system, progressive, fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord develops.

Two forms of the disease can follow. People with furious rabies exhibit signs of hyperactivity, excited behaviour, hydrophobia and sometimes aerophobia. After a few days, death occurs by cardio-respiratory arrest.

Paralytic rabies accounts for about 30% of the total number of human cases. This form of rabies runs a less dramatic and usually longer course than the furious form. The muscles gradually become paralyzed, starting at the site of the bite or scratch. A coma slowly develops, and eventually death occurs. The paralytic form of rabies is often misdiagnosed, contributing to the under-reporting of the disease.

Diagnosis
No tests are available to diagnose rabies infection in humans before the onset of clinical disease, and unless the rabies-specific signs of hydrophobia or aerophobia are present, the clinical diagnosis may be difficult. Human rabies can be confirmed intra-vitam and post mortem by various diagnostic techniques aimed at detecting the whole virus, viral antigens, viral-specific antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid, or nucleic acids in infected tissues (brain, skin, urine or saliva).

Transmission
People are usually infected following a deep bite or scratch by an infected animal. Dogs are the main host and transmitter of rabies. They are the source of infection in all of the estimated 50 000 human rabies deaths annually in Asia and Africa.

Bats are the source of most human rabies deaths in the Americas. Bat rabies has also recently emerged as a public health threat in Australia and western Europe. Human deaths following exposure to foxes, raccoons, skunks, jackals, mongooses and other wild carnivore host species are very rare.

Transmission can also occur when infectious material – usually saliva – comes into direct contact with human mucosa or fresh skin wounds. Human-to-human transmission by bite is theoretically possible but has never been confirmed. Changes in the environment and close human contact with wildlife can lead to increased human exposure to rabies-infected wildlife species.

Rarely, rabies may be contracted by inhalation of virus-containing aerosol or via transplantation of an infected organ. Ingestion of raw meat or other tissues from animals infected with rabies is not a source of human infection.

uboma: Wo told you that our boys have better arms than the Boko haram boys? Do you know that these boko haram boys are well funded? Why do you think our boys are deserting the battle field? Truth be told, our Government has failed to equip them for such battles.

owobokiri: There is also the regretable cases of Nigerias military involvement elsewhere , especially in Africa and our inability to leverage those actions to further the countrys political and economic influences atleast within the continent. When Nigeria went to Sierra Leoen, she lost men in thousands , even the field commander later died of his wounds from the battle. Abacha was the c in c and did his best to impose pro Nigerian presidents there. But immidiately the bitter parts of the struggle were over, the ever cunny british under one Tony blair managed to get involved and utilised their vast media presence to claim the efforts. Today british technocrats are all over Freetown cornering juicy mining contracts while Nigerian busineses walllow in penury. It is the same in Liberia and Guinea. We cant contineu to operate from a 'big brother' prism. That time is gone. If we sacrifice men and resources as we did in those places, there must be a very strong plan to sign military agreements with those countries as well as economic agreements that will not just favour Nigerias businesses but also help reinforce the Nigerias military capabities for future foreign battles. There must be something there for the country.. We dont have to be selfish but we must find a way to ensure that the success of these interventions translates to a healthy gain for the countrys reputation abroad and solid oppurtuinities for her businesses.

Liekiller: Read the original paper

mojeer678: Ridiculous to you? That snipe shows limited intelligence on your part. Already dismissing the evidence before you get to know the facts you need to read far and wide, bro!

The findings from a just-completed gene analysis of the ebola virus strain by an international team of microbiologists and medical doctors. Their conclusion is that the RNA structure of the ebola virus raging through West Africa is a direct derivative from the Gabon-Congo outbreaks in 2002 and 2003.

The lineage provides important clues as to how Zaire ebola (ZEBOV-Gabon/Congo) was transferred to West Africa over a distance of 4,000 kilometers and a lapse of 10 years without being detected along the way. Zaire ebola is neither native to West Africa nor could it have arrived via any natural or accidental means without triggering intermediate outbreaks.

This is the source, http://www.rense.com/general96/eboutofgabo.html (if you can actually, really read it though, there are no pictures embedded )

And this link is why I tend to support GenBuhari that the hype by the western media can be seen to be a hoax: http://nodisinfo.com/absolute-proof-use-crisis-actors-ebola-hoax/

mojeer678: The point GenBhuari is making and which you are failing to get, is that the ebola outbreak, which if real, is definitely man made. I fully support this theory too.

Except there are some other issues between you and GenBuhari which I'm not privy to, I think you should cut the insults and abuses

mojeer678: There is no point in arguing with someone who lacks the rudimentary of civility and who will not even appreciate the truth if it's shoved right in front of his nose!

You know my position on the Ebola conspiracy: I just hit a goldmine of information as to the purpose behind the 'emergence' of viruses in the 21st century - http://www.blackherbals.com/Emerging_Viruses-Aids_&_Ebola.pdf (It's only 127 pages)

Maybe it'll make you also temper down on your denying the existence of the bio-weapon. That's what making folks crazy

mojeer678: Sir, there's no need for the ad hominem attacks, pejoratives and insults on this thread.

You can make your point politely without casting the unnecessary abuses. Mind you, the original thread was started by GenBuhari and he was on point that there's something fishy the way the whole Ebola scare was being hyped. I did a little research into this and came up with logical write-ups that have been made by credible writers. Now, ebola is real but what we are being confronted with now is a sexed-up strain. If you disagree and you feel you have anything worthwhile to say, that can be done without using gutter languages or descending into the sewer.

Whatever point you would have made have unfortunately been tarred by the uncouth manner by which you engaged upon others on this thread. You are to be pitied really as your ignorance of the issues is glaring. We should let facts face facts and a good idea/argument would inevitably give way to a better one.

I'm sorry, but you aren't getting any further response from me.

GenBuhari: Stop misrepresenting me. I never ever said de-population. I do not yet know the real reason for the hoax,but at the moment itis looking like the hoax is to panic us into taking dangerous vaccines and drugs that we do not even need.

Mark my words Ebola vaccines and drugs will be coming your way soon.

Do not take any vaccines for Ebola you would be endangering your life.

The white man whips you into a panic and profits from selling you dangerous vaccines that may kill you.

And this opinion is based on

That is what happens to people with hollow brains, it doesn't give their opinion a base, you see?

GenBuhari: Nigerian love to be deceived. It is always an uphill struggle trying to tell Nigerians the truth after they have been deceived.

mojeer678: We are now getting to understand NL better. Serious stuff are loathed while silly topics make FP.

That won't and shouldn't dissuade us from continue to be telling the truth.

More of the truth:

According to David Hodges, "In the 1980′s, the population crisis seemed to be over. The replacement population rate needed to maintain a population is 2.1 children per woman and across the planet that standard was basically maintained. However, there was one major exception and that was in the sub-Saharan Africa.

United Nations population experts and the world’s politicians convened what is now described as the first Agenda 21 conference, in 1994, in which an overt depopulation strategy was replaced by an agenda centered on empowering women through equal employment opportunities thus delaying childbirth and lessening the birth rate. Also, the UN and world leaders espoused increasing access to birth control and abortion, thus, killing unborn babies in fulfillment of Margaret Sanger’s expressed desire.

These early depopulation strategies are benign, even the scourge of abortion, when compared to more black project agendas that were conducted at the same time. The problem with using various birth control methods is that they are slow multi-generational process and this lack of quick progress does not give the elite what they need and want which is to depopulate the world quickly.

For dramatic changes in population, a more radical agenda is needed. More deadly methods involving war and disease are preferable to members of the ruling elite who desire quick results, which are needed to save the planet from man-made climate change. This is what I submit is exactly what we are beginning to see." Since the elite failed to get Africa in check with tasteful methods, they launched a new strain of ebola there to get things done more quickly. It is obvious, ebola was originally a super stable virus that had not changed for millenia. What caused the radical change to get it airborne? YOU GUESS.

For easier answer: http://desertpeace./2014/08/26/ebola-accident-or-genocide/

You call this serious stuff? you said Ebola is a propaganda, right? the man who wrote the article you posted is Jon Rappoport who lives in San Diego, he calls himself an investigative journalist, in all his Ebola investigations, he never came to West Africa can you ask him why?

Rappoport is like a prophet who knows that Christ has followers so the easiest way to get cheap popularity is by debunking the existence or the belief in Christ.
I thought that if Jon Rapporport actually believed there is no Ebola, he would be in Liberia Hugging Ebola patients and taking pictures.
He said we are scared and ordinary Vitamin C can cure Ebola, In the United states where he lives, two companies who are into Ebola research have been looking for volunteers for their drug clinical trial, why hasn't he gone there to tell them to stop wasting $25m on Zmapp that Vitamin C can do the job?

Jon Rapporport is 76 years, should he die today of ebola, I dont think the world will miss him that much, what I find insulting as an African is when the likes of Jon Rapporport want us to die more by peddling conspiracy theories that can easily stick to the mind set of my country men like Gen Buhari, while he stays in far away San diego.

I want to urge anyone who has any conspiracy theory about Ebola to set up a camp at Yaba, or any west African country of his chioce, so we can easily get samples to test with.

WHO is asking for $480m, 750 international doctors and 1,200 local doctors to stamp out Ebola in the next 6 months, Mr Rapporport, please if you feel that money is a waste, kindly keep that opinion to yourself not to deter people who think other wise from helping us, I believe there is no Ebola in San diego where you live and it will be inhuman to undermine this threat which will go a long way in distracting serious agencies that are willing to help,

while you are at it, kindly know that Africa is a region with individuals like Gen. Buhari who have hollow brain cells, may assimilate your preposterous theory there by endangering the populace, the thieves that robbed the Ebola centers last week are now patients in the same center, I am sure they once thought like you.

May God bless you as you make your own contribution towards stamping off this threat, I just made mine.

temigracie: ..One of those reasons why the oyinbos still call us 'monkeys or apes'.....In this century, with the level of modernization and degree of social media or televised awareness....some people still believe it is a scam or a plot....

..well, its deir life..they can live it anyway they want...

Tell that to Gen. Buhari

DrRima: This posting has a good deal of inaccurate information in it about me, Rima E. Laibow, MD, about Nano Silver 10 PPM and about the Natural Solutions Foundation, of which I am the Medical Director.
".... Meanwhile, it is not yet known if the outcome of their research would be widely accepted as it would be recalled that on August 19, 2014, one Dr. Rima Laibow, Managing Director of US-based company Natural Solutions Foundation claimed that Nano Silver has been deployed by her team of scientists during treatment of Ebola patients in Africa before the current epidemic outbreak, but surprisingly on August 21, 2014, the same company confirmed that the said drug was not a cure for the deadly disease."
Your misstatements in bold, my corrections in italics.

I am not the Managing Director of a US based company Natural Solutions Foundation.
I am the Medical Director of a US base humanitarian tax exempt charity called the Natural Solutions Foundation.
I did not claim that Nano Silver had been deployed by my team of scientists during treatment of Ebola patients in Africa before the current epidemic outbreak.
I wrote to the Heads of State and Ministers of Health of Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea on August 2, 2014, informing them about safe, effective and widely effective Nano Silver 10 PPM. I think made a video addressed to them and posted it on youtube/naturalsolutions.
I was contacted by Liberian officials and our Foundation donated, at their request, enough nano silver product to treat 10 patients with Ebola. I prepared and submitted a protocol for that purpose.
I provided safety data, MSDS, FDA and DPA status documents, legal opinion letters and other materials showing that Nano Silver 10 PPM is a recognized, safe and permitted nutrient in the US.
I presented scientific documentation that Nano Silver 10 PPM inactivates the Ebola virus by posting a study declassified in 2009 by the US Department of Defense DTRA (Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) which makes it abundantly clear that, indeed, the in vitro results are unequivocal.
I went on to say that based on clinical knowledge of the material and the application of in vitro information to in vivo situations, it was a powerful candidate to be a cure for Ebola.
I posted another video on Youtube called "None Need Die From Ebola" which detailed the specifics of this type of Nano Silver and talked about why it works so well.
On August 16, 2014 the New York Times accused me of providing Nano Silver to Nigeria. Sadly, this is not true, although I would have been happy to do so. I never "confirmed" that Nano Silver 10 PPM is not a cure for Ebola because it is, in fact, able to provide such powerful support to the immune system that it will be able to provide that service to the patient lucky enough to get it.
When WHO and FDA made their announcement that it was not "ethical" to use a substance which had never been tested on humans to try and save Ebola Victims' lives and the HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE ZMAPP, which causes reversion to infective status in 5% of the monkeys tested and apparently did the same with the Nurse who received it in Nigeria, left the quarantine Center and then became ill again, I pointed out that since Nano Silver 10 PPM has a long and safe human use history, it would be even more ethical to use Nano Silver i trials.
Tragically, the pharmaceutical interests, which stand to lose a vast amount of money when Nano Silver does work, would have none of it.
WHO is, by the way, a private corporation, not a humanitarian NGO and 2/3 of its funding, and therefore its responsibility to produce profits, is to its pharmaceutical investors.
I was contacted by people from Sierra Leone who asked for enough material to treat 100 patients and that was provided as well.
Please correct your posting and your articles as they are sadly out of compliance with accurate statements.
Yours in health and freedom,
Dr. Rima

PS: I have never deployed a team of scientists anywhere. REL

Dawezz: hmmmmmm

aanumama: A beg stop forming ! even if you use tissue, your hand still smells, try it today and see, my momma taught me how to use water and I've been using it since, I've never had any stupid infection as you mentioned in your post.

Do you know you guys usually have some stinking odor, off course you won't know, water has been in existence for long.

I don't joke with my hygiene!

No amount of tissue will wipe that asss clean!

phantom: but someone had also mentioned that he was never taken to prime.

phantom: JP.....do you think iyke knew he was treating an Ebola patient and went home to infect his wife and baby? doesn't make sense.
the diplomat did not have full blown symptoms and may have hidden vital history from him.
the fact that Iyke knew him and invited him to PH is pure speculation.

phantom: bros I am closer to the family than you think.
it was the wife who even called the authorities.
Iyke had no idea he was treating ebola because the diplomat in question was showing mild symptoms.

phantom: people just post rubbish on nairaland.
the said doctor was in private practice not government and secondly he had no idea he was treating an ebola patient.
that diplomat is suspected to have hidden vital history of information from the doctor

crunchyg: NOW EBOLA IS IN PH!!
Seriously, why are some pple so wicked & selfish? First, it was patrick sawyer, who flew in2 d country despite knwing dat he had the virus, & d would be effect to unsuspecting Nigerians. For wat? Secondly it was a calous nurse, who escaped quarantine to Enugu to see the "family" 4wat? Probably 2 share d virus wit her family & friends, who she claimed 2 love. Then came d devilish doctor, who should ve knwn beta wat EBOLA is capable of. Why secretly treat d diplomat, was it al 4 money or was he trying to play hero? So wicked dat he never cared 4 his family, his 3months old baby, his friends, co-worker, patients at d hospital & d hotel staff & pple dat came dia. Now he is dead, wia is d money dat he lusted 4. Over 70 pple had contact wt d evil doctor, hw abt those who had contact wt d 70 pple? May God help us all.

samplegirl: I feel compelled to reply you after seeing how articulate reasonable in your post. Let me make it abundantly clear here that I do not sing praises for GEJ but it is a pity the way people have turned to blame him for everything negative about this country. Let us blame successive governments right from 1960 because the story has been the same since then. Which among them did not promise but see where we are today. If we had gotten it right before, Ya'radua and GEJ wouldn't have found platform in the first place.

Many SAINTS who post rubbish here would jump boat if they see any form of inducement, while some will be far worse than him if they are local council chairman. Call them to come out to protest, you won't see them, ask them to sit at home to frustrate the government, they will tell you they will die if they do not go out a day, ask them to come out and vote out the corrupt man, they will be at home watching home video.

We are hypocrites!

PiperAlpha: An enabling and conducive business environment. IOC's have also dominated the Nigeria's oil and gas industry for a very long time.

Bawss1: You are assuming that community relations in these IOCs is handled directly by foreign staff or the upper echelons of management. In many, if not all cases you will find indigenes of the community or state in the relations team yet the problems of dealing with the host still persists. I don't think a Nigerian company will fare any better than the IOCs here.

eledacedar: You are right on the community issue. However, it is easier for companies with Nigerian ownership to approach the communities and reach a mutual agreement compared with the IOCs.

It becomes a we-we thing. The saboteurs believe the IOCs have loads of money to part with when their staff is kidnapped but with properly managed local content( take over by local companies), they will have to shift ground too. It would be easier for Mr Emeka Haruna, MD of a Nigerian company to make the communities understand why they can do better by working together than for Mr Bush Van Dam me, MD of any IOC to reason logically with the communities.

That's my take.

zeongeon: Even if one decides not say anything about Nigeria..the woes of the country is even bigger than d people and is giving out such an odour that can be perceived in every part of the world.

In this era of information and technology whom do u want to fool by saying nice things about the country..when pple go online and carry out research only to see d woes of Nigeria littered all over..

I was trying to boast about Nigeria to a friend in far away australia who replied me by saying " Is it not Nigeria where the unemployment rate is so high and where citizens got killed to get a job with d immigration"...Yah see me trying to boast about Nigeria and got smacked with that.

The woes of Nigeria is audible to d deaf and visible to the blind.

1: BOKO HARAM: The rise of Boko haram from a mere group of boy scouts to a full blown terrorist organization is Infact aided by the support and free propaganda executed by Nigerians. Boko haram is mainly concentrated in a small area of Nigeria, and they have been able to fight persistently. The rise in their morale is a result of the support that Nigerians unknowingly give to them through telling unconfirmed stories about their exploits.
These stories are grabbed by the international media and announced, thereby making Nigeria to look like a terror ravaged country. The consequence of this is that foreign countries become more wary of Nigerians, and take extra effort to check Nigerians that are going into their countries. Unfortunately, it is the same people that spread these news that suffer most from this.

2: EBOLA: Nigeria was Ebola free before Patrick Sawyer arrived with it. Few people that took care of him got infected before he died, and the LSG in collaboration with the FG struggled and contained the disease. Nigerians blew Ebola out of proportion. Some Nigerians kept spreading rumors about Ebola findings in states that were free of it. As expected, the fictitious news about how fast Ebola was spreading in the country was grabbed by the international news media, and it created panic in foreign countries. With less than 10 deaths from Ebola, Nigerians have been quarantined most at the entry points into foreign countries. This happened in HongKong, Singapore, Malaysia, US, UK etc. Of recent Nigeria was kicked out of the youth Olympics. This is the product of the way Nigerians self-destruct themselves.

3: NIGERIAN MILITARY:The Nigerian army was respected and seen as one of the strongest in the world. This is an outcome of the years of conflict resolution at home and foreign countries. Of recent, the rise of Boko Haram has created a new challenge for the Nigerian army. Unlike in conventional warfare across borders, the enemies are within and can easily blend into the civilian population without being noticed. It is actually a difficult conflict especially as the military will have to avoid killing innocent citizens.
Nigerians seem to lack understanding of this difficulty, so they keep taunting the Nigerian military. They write all sorts of anti-military texts, build propaganda to show that the military is weak and expose more of Nigeria's weakness to the world. As a result, Nigeria is seen as being very weak. The most recent effort is increasingly trying to show that the Camerounian Military is stronger than that of Nigeria. WILL IT SURPRISE ANYBODY IF CAMEROUN BECOMES GUTSY ENOUGH TO INVADE NIGERIA? We are hyping their military because they are dealing with a foreign (Nigerian) terrorist group that has barely penetrated their country. If the table was turned, and BOKO HARAM members were Camerounians, do you think It would have been difficult for the Nigerian military to contain? Like the EBOLA SAGA has shown, it is easier to contain a foreign menace.
Unfortunately, Nigeria is seen as a weak nation now, and every small nation can afford to damn Nigerians now.

4: FOOTBALL AGE ISSUE: The issue of football age has become a big problem in soccer. However, the way Nigerians trumpet about the cases involving Nigerians makes it to look as if Nigerians are the biggest age cheats in soccer. As soon as a Nigerian age grade team wins a major tournament, Nigerians take to the social media and start tainting the image of the teams by making unverified statements about the true age of the members of the teams. Unfortunately, these allegations, though mostly unverified, are noted by the members of the international community, and it reduces the respect that the teams have brought for the nation.
Recently, the Nigerian Falconets got to the final of the World Cup. Even though they didn't win, Nigerians have done the usual by going online and raising worrisome accusations against the patriots. They do this without realizing that they are shooting themselves on their feet. If foreign clubs had plans to grab them, these false age accusations may hinder their moves or reduce their values. Tomorrow, if the siblings of these critics are refused visa to play in a foreign country, they will blame the green passport forgetting that they are indirectly responsible for their misfortunes.

Nigerians must be careful about the way they speak and expose Nigeria. Nigeria is for Nigerians. If you kill her, you are killing yourselves. I BELIEVE THAT THE IMAGE OF NIGERIA WILL IMPROVE WHEN NIGERIANS STOP WASHING THEIR DIRTY UNDIES IN PUBLIC.

May God bless Nigeria and Nigerians
