ocelot2006: Bros, leave all that talk. We both know that equipment procurement is an issue. Yes, the military bought 6 new Mi-35Ms, but are those enough? Where are the much needed transport helos like the Mi-17s for the QRFs? Do you want to deny that fact that the soft skinned vehicles and even armoured vehicles like the Otokar Cobra are not underarmed with just Fcking GPMGs while BH hilux trucks have 50cal HMGS mounted on theirs? And back to the armoured vehicles; how many MRAPS do we have In the field? I dare say that the NPF own way more of these vehicles than the army. And what do the army have? A splatter of Bigfoot MRAPS, Otokar Cobra bought during the Niger Delta insurgency, and a bought of old vehicles. I don't even want to talk about combat air support 'cos the air force's performance has been less than satisfactory. Till date, the military (NAF in particular) still can't support and relieve military units stationed in remote areas in the North east or in some cases even special forces teams operating behind enemy lines. No, these teams have to fight with limited ammo till they run out. So how do you expect them to protect all these border hamlets/villages.

Now don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no qualms with the training of our military, and our brave men and women of the armed forces are itching for a good fight and payback. After all, same military successfully brought the raging insurgency in the Niger-Delta to an end. I also know desertion is normal during wars. But guy, moral is currently very low. Every time my friends in the Police MOPOL Squadrons on the usual 6 months rotation to the NE, it Is the very same story: they're outgunned, ammo ' s always low (2 mags only), desertion is on the rise.

Till we accept that all is not well, and try to resolve the problems that plague the military, we'll continue to face these issues.

donpeey22: Why do Nigerians delight in spreading false news? This news has been debunked by the health minister. Peddlers of false news like this should know they are doing more harm than even the ebola itself because many people may end up dying from high b.p on hearing such fake news.

CraigD: Am a member of this forum bt i just decided to open another user name in other to conceal my identity and i wl be glad to get some good advice on hw to deal wt ths problem.

I was shocked and almost fainted today wen i saw d result of my HIV test  and since morning i hv nt eaten anytin coz my appetite is gone and am having a terrible headache since then. This is my second HIV test coz d first one i took was in 2004 wen my sister had an accident and needed a blood transfusion and my parents called me to get home immediately to help save her life and i didn't waste anytime to come home for d blood donation. I thank God that she eventually made it bt one thing that struck my mind then was if incase my test shows HIV positive hw am i going to deal wt it since my parents and siblings were aware of d whole thing and my parents thought that am  still a virgin then coz i came frm a strict xtian family upbringing.

I then vow to be careful frm then on bcoz i had unprotected sex wt abt three different girls before  that and i hv seen my con.dom burst in two different occasions wt a LovePeddler i bleep in a brotel bt yet i didn't get d virus,ths happened around d year 2000-2004.
In d year 2006,i met ths girl and we became intimate friends and we later started having protected sex bt after a while i then made another mistake by having unprotected sex wt her and we both loved it since we trust eachother bt we didn't do any HIV test to knw if we are safe. I later went for a job interview and passed and that was in 2007 a year into our relationship and my company demanded for a compulsory HIV test result frm a government hospital. I didn't went for d test immediately because am nt sure of myself bt i knw dat my girlfriend was d only girl i hv bn havin sex wt after my first test and that was my vow,to keep to only one girl. 

So,wat came to my mind was to ask her to do d test first because i dnt wnt my company and my parents including my friends to knw first because everyone was happy wen i got d job and i too was very happy for d job. So,she did d test and told me that it was negative and i doubted her telling her dat mine was positive just to get d truth frm her bt she insisted in sticking to her words and even told me that she wld come wt d test result. She later paid me a visit  and i saw d result whch was negative. I ask her to repeat that and she did and it also came negative. Then she started asking me abt my fidelity and i told her dat i dnt hv any other bt i later told her dat its all lies that i didnt do any test and my company didnt request for it again.

I later seperated wt my girlfriend and nw am abt settling down this year wt my new woman bt she demanded for d test and i agree though we hvn't  had sex and since am desperate to marry this year,i told her dat i wl do it whch i did yesterday and came ths morning for d result only to b told that am Hiv positive. My former gf was ok coz she married late last year and living happily wt her husband.

My fears nw is my parents coz we are only two boys remaining since our eldest died wen we are stil young. All my parents hope is on me and d wnt to see their grandchild and d love my fiance so well.

Hw am i going to break ths sad news to them and my beloved fiance? And am i really positive since my former gf is negative and i hv bn making unprotected love wt her since two years plus and neva hv unprotected sex since she left and i only did it once in a month and mostly unpenetrative sex.

I honestly need your advice coz am already dying slowly since i saw d test. Pls bear wt my wrong use of english, i just dnt get myself nw.

Go for the DNA HIV test not the antibody type, you will be negative, it is an error, the last one I did my result came out (positive with sex female), , was wondering where the toto dey for my body,
went again for the DNA it came out negative, of course I charged the first hospital for the second test, even though the second was more expensive, they were more than glad to pick the bill and keep quiet about it.

why are you scared of HIV when Ebola is in Nigeria already? with coconut oil, HIV is like ordinary flu, relax, a lot of people are positive, just look for a positive girlfriend to date, and stop fvcking ashawo!!

On a different note, Bros!! how did you cope with the brothel odour? bros you get mind ooooo

Omooba77: https://m.premiumtimesng.com/news/167037-breaking-lagos-records-5-new-suspected-ebola-cases.html

Five new suspected cases of Ebola Virus Disease were brought to the Yaba Mainland Hospital, Lagos, on Tuesday, the Lagos State government has said.
At a press conference, Wednesday, Jide Idris, the State Commissioner for Health, told journalists that two of those cases were from secondary contacts.
“Till date, we have recorded eight suspected cases, five of which came in yesterday, 12 confirmed,” said Dr. Idris.
“On the whole, five have died (including the index case). We are currently following up 213 contacts, and 62 have completed the two-day follow-up,” he added.
On Tuesday, Stella Adadevoh, the Senior Consultant and Endocrinologist at First Consultant Medical Centre, Obalende, passed away after succumbing to the deadly virus.
Dr. Idris paid tributes to the deceased doctor as well as the other health workers who had died from Ebola virus since the disease broke out in July, describing them as the heroes and heroines of the day.
“She, (Dr. Adadevoh) it was, who took the initiative to intimate the Ministry concerning the index case – Liberian-American (Mr. Patrick Sawyer) and substantially to her credit the moderate containment achieved is owed,” said Dr. Idris.
“She led the team who attended to the index case. Her doggedness and commitment to duty saw her personally reviewing the case even though the patient had earlier been seen by a doctor.
“The Ministry of Health commiserates with their families, co-workers, friends and loved ones on these irreparable losses which was on the line of duty,” he added.
Dr. Idris also said that the government’s “vigorous” contact tracing is now shifting from primary to secondary contacts.
“The mode of spread remains mainly transmission from an infected person in an infective state and from an infected animal (bat, monkey, etc) to a person.
“This is a call for vigilance as human to human transmission is only achieved by physical contact with a person who is acutely and gravely ill (fever being a key sign) from Ebola virus through body fluids such as blood, urine, stool, saliva, breast milk, semen, and vomitus.

milehigh06: you are not getting it...if we had a good security system in place,Mr sawyer would not have been able to come into Nigeria and get as far as being able to bring sorrow to the family of this wonderful woman at all because he would have been stopped at the airport if he does not have the necessary medical papers...every country does that when you get to the port of entry,which in most cases is the embassy and in some cases,the airport and border entry ports...go to the Juarez port btw Mexico and USA and you will see people who are crossing legally being asked to provide their medical clearances.....As much as we would all love to blame someone but ourselves for letting this man into Nigeria,we should be honest and think this through..did lack of the necessary checks and balances lead to this tragedy...yes it did,despite whatever wicked intention the man had,it is up to the Nigerian Govt to protect her citizens for if this was a biological warfare,no be this we go dey talk o


assuming the man was on a dastardly mission,he would have succeeded if not for the vigilance of this Heroic lady who was smart and cautious enough to stop the man from spreading the disease any further

onyfrank: Hmmmm. Just received a call this morning, that a lady we normally hire to cook for us during Festive seasons has died of Hiv(aids). We have been hiring this Chef for d past 3yrs now. HOW SAFE ARE WE? Many has eaten the food she cooked, in 9ja and abroad.

Simba757: Nigeria for the first time became Africa's largest economy and the deadliest strain of ebola appeared in west africa for the first time!
Apart from the cursed Patrick Sawyer another Liberian is reported to have the virus in Lagos.
How these cursed Liberians cross over four countries -Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo & Benin Rep - to target Nigeria begs for a big explanation no matter their 'means' of travel.
Considering the pathetic ties Liberia has with their former slave masters and the west's obvious fear of a strong black Africa, A GRAND CONSPIRACY may not be far from the truth here.
PEOPLE WE NEED TO WAKE UP!

eleojo23: It's quite unfortunate that Africa continues to be plagued by problems. These problems have continued to expose the cracks in our systems. [b]I believe we can learn something from all of these [/b]and that is to make our institutions stronger (eg. the health care system), invest in ventures (eg. research and science) that will make us self-reliant and enable us to manage unforseen occurrences such as this in the future. It's about time we wake up to reality. Africa's progress lies solely in the hands of Africans and I do hope we rise up to the challenge by thinking objectively, coming up with and executing strategic plans to tackle the problems that have stared us in the face for so long.

Morotov1: I am a cleaner and very soon will be a consultant cleaner. ......yea the lowest in the food chain. Happy now. smh
The impulse to demean is so noticeable in every of your comments......so uncultured. Continue wallowing in your self-glory.

Morotov1: You miss the point entirely. Good night old boy.

Neduzze5: This is really shameful. Nigeria and Goodluck Jonathan really has to sit up! Unless we become a laughing stock for the whole world!

emmydeep: My friend, posting things like this will never help you.

Doctor Onyebuchi was never indicted in the investigation. The people that was found guilty was later arrested and tried in court.

Please, correct yourself and get some education.

phantom: “Nigeria is ready, because the Ministry has taken every precaution, including getting the vaccines and medicines in case there was any incident in Nigeria. “So far, there is nothing like Ebola fever in Nigeria, and Council was reassured that every step has been taken to ready our country just in case, infected persons come into the country from our neighbouring countries"

labarun maku,nigerias information minster;2nd april,2014


...jp you are funny o!!! which nigerians are you expecting to ask the right questions and hold their leaders accountable?

is it these dull people here who wake up by 4am to bath salt water or the ones who cant define doctor-patient ratio?? or the ones who dont even know who resident doctors are? abegeeeee....

Oduduwaboy: hmmm. I think a lot of people believe Nigerian doctors dont deserve more than the 'eeyas', RIPs, & ' may god be with the family' things...they surely dont deserve the money despite the hard work. lol. Useless country with many useless people!

RaptorX: All these talk of not having adequate weapons to fight BH is to me just silly excuses, like pointed out earlier the main problem is lack of morale and cowardice. Not weapons or so called sabotage.

I saw a clip on You tube showing BH fighters attacking a Nigerian army base, i dont see the fighters armed with anything the army doesn't have, they had AK 47, some RPG's, pick up trucks mounted with AA guns, what is so sophisticated about those.

These is guerilla war, you dont need too much sophisticated weapons to fight it, ask the Americans how many stealth bombers, tanks, they use to fight the insurgents in Iraq or Afghanistan, and thousands of their soldiers were killed. These is hand to hand combat except the Nigerian govt is ready to bomb the whole north east and kill thousands of civilians.

SergeAlain: Well my brother that is really sad. I hope they are ready to die for their villages and their families when Boko Haram captures the whole North East and enters other Geopolitical zones. Any one in doubt of that should take a look at what ISIS is doing in Iraq.

If they think they can run away to their villages and escape the war, who are they hoping will stop the BOko haram for them??

1United1: They are right! When the Commander-In-Chief is busy commandeering their common wealth into his personal vault while preparing to extend his looting years by another 4 years using every available illegitimate process, the poor soldiers who ordinary should be equipped with extraordinary warfare as the military budget suggests are left to fight with clubs, daggers and outdated non functional tanks!

And in the course of the war they get killed, their families are settled with a paltry 500k after some years!

Vagabonds in power!

CHEMICAL TERRORISM
-Patrick Sawyer was under surveillance in Liberia
for Ebola
-Liberian govt said he escaped quarantine and
sneaked into Nigeria
-CCTV footage at Liberian airport showed him
avoiding contact with people and at a point lying
prostrate on the floor looking like he was in deep
pain
-His sister with whom he had contact died of Ebola
that he was aware of
-When he arrived Nigeria he didn't avoid contact
with people rather he allowed airport staff to carry
him
-At the hospital in Lagos he allowed medical
personnel to treat him just as they would any
normal patient
-When asked if he came in contact with an Ebola
victim at the point he started showing symptoms
his answer was negative
-When test confirmed the obvious and he was
confronted with the truth, he reacted in a violent
manner urinating on the medical staff, at least one
of them
-Sawyer who was enroute to Calabar was insistent
on continuing his journey despite his condition
-Liberian govt has apologised to Nigeria for
exporting Ebola to Nigeria
-Nigerian govt has approached US for the ZMAPP
test drug they used on 2 American health workers
who contracted the virus in Sierra Leone
-Obama said its too early to bring the drug to
Africa, that what Africa needs is improved health
facilities, yet with all their improved health facilities
they chose ZMAPP for their own
-A vaccine for Ebola is underway we are told and
will be ready latest July next year
-The vaccine will 1st be administered in Africa, how
generous and selfless they are with the vaccine but
not the curative drug
-Is somebody thinking at all? -Dont forget Sawyer
was a Liberian American with his family resident in
America
-If people in high places could volunteer themselves
as suicide bombers in countries like Afghanistan,
Iraq, Pakistan etc, do you think they can't volunteer
for chemical terrorism suicide mission?
-The conventional terrorism exported to Africa and
heavily funded by them to destabilize our economy
and depopulate us seem no longer enough
-God is watching but we too have to watch our
backs
-Should we trust them with their so called vaccine
when it comes?
-Africa, its time to start thinking, time to start
asking questions
-We have lived with monkeys, chimpanzees,
gorillas, wild animals that have always been part of
our delicacies and never had ebola
-Why now and why always Africa. HIV/AIDS in
Africa 1st likewise ebola?
JUST THINKING ALOUD

HerexG: I know this is a wake up call for us but if we keep fussing that it is our fault the solution won't come, all we and the international community need to do now is to join hands together and fight this wrath outta this world

We have got one world, one life and one love

Hello NANO SIlver isnt an EBOLA drug but a dietary supplement that destroys body invaders and boost immune system and effectively fight EBOLA.Even the AMERICAN Department of defense confirms it.

Ask yourself this question 35% of Ebola victims survive, even without Zmapps. How?
The spanish priest used Zmapp still died.
A lot has to do with the Immune system, You dont cure virus, they die on their own, so far they can multiply.

GeneralShepherd: The western world hates you and they give you millions of dollars in grant every year,right?

They hate you and practically feel Africa right?

If the west wanted to get rid of Africa two nuclear war heads would have done the magic!

4thsense: DID YOU JUST WRITE N500? HOW MUCH ARE POLITCAL THUGS AND ASSASINS PAID

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG AND WHY WOULD IT CONTINUE SO IN THIS COUNTRY GOD!!!! I'M SO WOUNDED. MAY GOD PUNISH AND JUDGE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WICKEDNESS.

Ibnsultan: ;Dsure. We need to upgrade to full automatic assualt rifle. Ak should be replace with weapons with better accuracy and distance covered
