Nigeria on Thursday said that a doctor had died
from Ebola in the southeastern oil city of Port
Harcourt in the first case of the deadly virus
outside the financial hub, Lagos.
Health minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said the medic
died on August 22 after treating a patient who had
contact with a Liberian-American man, who
brought the virus into Nigeria and died in a Lagos
hospital on July 25.
“Following the report of this death by the doctor’s
widow the next day, the case had been thoroughly
investigated and laboratory analysis showed that
this doctor died from EVD (Ebola Virus Disease),”
he told reporters in Abuja.

Nothing to say for now.

I heard a lady died this morning of diarrhea at a hospital in D/Line. It was trending all of over the town that Ebola is here with us.

I just hope the commissioner is untop of the situation as he claims.
A proper autopsy should be carried out to determine if she has the virus.

In as much as I don't like the President the way and manner he is running the country. I don't see how whatever outcome of the 2015 result will do to us. See Asari and other ex-agitators they are so rich and comfortable that they wouldn't want to do anything with war. I am from the creeks also but your logic of Mr. President weakening our military just to divide the country is out of place. Niger Deltans have always opted for true federalism. The problem we are having in this country are not even the North but all our corrupt leaders at the centre.

Songsmith1: I don't believe in the "Federal Government is the Boko" hypothesis being majorly sold by the Opposition camp. However, the Presidency may not have a hand in the initiation and thus, the perpetuation of the Boko Haram insurgency that has brought the Nigerian army to it's knees and finally reduced the so-called "Giant of africa" to "giANT of Africa".I strongly believe the President along with his regional agenda is making a very good use of the insurgency to actualise their current cravings for total independence of the south south.

The billions of Naira budgeted to fight BH remain "abducted" just like the "chibok chicks" it is being disbursed to rescue; Just the same way those allocated to curb the Ebola insurgency get "Quarantined" in some private pockets,the same way the very victims of the Ebola disease are Quarantined!

Dear Nigerian youths, If you don't believe this, just keep it in your memory and please remember to qoute me when it inevitably happens!
The periodic drum beats of war being sounded by the Niger delta millitants and their politically and financially emboldened leaders should never be mistaken to be mere barking of some toothless dogs.


The South South has a grand plan to break from Nigeria just the way the Ibos attempted in the 60's.Meanwhile, Where Biafra failed, Niger deltans have learnt a great lesson.They are now using the presidency in the region to do what can be described as "Pre-civil war tactical manouvring of the Nigeria army"

If Jonathan wins 2015 general elections, it will afford the region another four years to completely destroy whatever remains of Nigerian army. The army would continue to be demoralised by the Government purposeful failing in upgrading their armoury and thereby endangering the lives of the soldiers. By then, Nigerian army would have become a complete shadow of her glorious past, being ridiculously vulnerable to a disgraceful defeat by any internal insurrection or external aggression.

You should know that, the Niger Delta is being armed heavily at moment, consignments of weapons keep entering the Niger delta through so many points. Those that come through lagos ports are tagged "not to be open, belongs to the federal government" "For general x,y,z, stay away". These vessels are usually cleared by men in military uniform backed by that nebulous phrase- "Order from Above"

If Jonathan loses the 2015 elections, the secession declaration will begin and the Nigerian army won't be a match for the Deltan army, who will fight to complete the breakage process in case an attempt is made to thwart their agenda militarily. Don't think the best option is to ensure the president does not win, because the result is still the same! Our military today is already weakened.

We can never stand another insurrection even if our President humbles himself now and begs Shekau for forgiveness on behalf of Nigerians. Should President Abubakar Shekau of the Gwoza Emirate, Borno State, Nigeria, decide to call the Gwoza millitary back to barracks, It will take some few years for Nigerian millitary to recover from the current defeat and it's attendant disgrace.


If Jonathan wins 2015, declaration will be delayed till 2019 while Nigerian army will keep being destroyed ahead of the grand breakage plan. So either way, the result is the same.

This is total BS

After Atouke was put to bed yesterday with same thread, he is back again with another handle.

I now see why the SA on Politics to Jona said, you guys should occupy the media.

Dreal1247: .
Try to comment with facts. Where other states are heavy debtors, Peter Obi left a huge amount of money in the state treasury. Anambra is one of the least infected states in Nigeria.

Please I need clarification on how Anambra State is owing close to $42m as external debt.

henrysam: Haters will continue to amaze me. Adult can take care of themselves. But kids do not have control.
Op must u criticise every efforts of the government blindly.
I leave you to your conscience.

Well, have you been to a political rally before?

edwardjr: Kel4soft wats d difference btw environmental engr. In civil dept n dat of chemical engr.?

The difference is that in Civil Engineering, you are meant to be train as an engineer on environment for example, you are required to know structures courses very well because of constructions of Dams, Waste Stabilization pond, Sewage ponds, Water Reservoirs and other Environmental Engineering related constructions. So without the knowledge of Civil Engineering especially structure courses like strength of materials, Theory of Structures, Structural Analysis and other Geotechnical courses like Soil Mechanics, Engineering Geology and Survey. Even you must know Traffic & Highway Engineering because you need it for Noise & Vibration Control. One can't be a well trained Environmental Engineer.

Environmental Engineering in Chemical engineering has to do with the construction of chemical equipment that can help keep the environment clean. For example: Refineries flare gasses, the environmental engineers are required to built a stack (check google) to trap the plums released from different combustion. Sulphurisors Construction and others. So without the knowledge of Chemistry of combustion, there will be difficult in designing a proper stack.

From the above explanation, you can see the differences.

Ogonimilitant: Madam It was not in a bear palour. the guy was just saying that Rochas is intentional putting Imo state people
in debt. that Orlu which is Rochas home town is getting mass construction of Roads. Hospital and many things. that he is borrowing money
everywhere. I have not been to Orlu all my life. i dont know if construction like that is going on. that is why I want to get the truth from people who know those areas. he said Orlu is going to be the capital of Njaba state.

I guess you live in PH, just enter ITC vehicle at waterlines to Orlu and find out thats if you don't have a car of your own. 5K maximum will put this to bed. One good Sunday will do.

bigass: In Akwa Ibom all roads are tarred and all gutters covered
There is no red roof building. There is pipe borne water in all homes. There are 5 pry health centers and 2 general hospital in each local govt. No queue to see doctors.There are numerous ambulances just dial576 and you will be ferried to the hospital. There's free and compulsory education from pry to tertiary level where all students are fed free of charge. You are allowed to operate okada freely with no hindrance. There's mass transit which convey commuters at very cheap rates. All schools are either newly built or recently refurbished. The way some people criticise some governors you wonder if those on the other side of the divide are performing magic. #Fashola #Okorocha #Amechi

Free and compulsory education from primary to tertiary...hmmm I see the sacarsm

OP, Ogonis are more intelligent than this. Can't believe we are even in the same senatorial zone.

Mrs. Comfort Wike offering the opening prayer.

hardywaltz: They are fond of telling lies on Nairaland so today I ready for them. Let them provide pictures or be known as serial liars...

You see how I open the newly completed Prof. Nimi Briggs Hospital, one of them came to derail the thread.

Governo'rs visit today at Wike's unit today

She said they normally do the fixing with money but the guys said he will do that for her with his own money. I noticed that wenever i call, she's not happy. we quarrel about everything from wer she is to wat is happeing there.Today, she finally got posted to a nice place of PPA and I was happy for her. When i called her, her call was on call waiting OVer 10missed calls she didn't pick.

this was a girl that wen ever I call even if her call is on call waitin she will ask the caller to call her back that she wants to answer my call but she didn't. wen she finally picked she told me she was talkn with the guy.i asked wen it started that the guys call is now more important than mine.she got angry and said i shld stop calln her.am so mad ryt now don't know wat to do.

She has gone, just move on. Na their lifestyle.

tit: fashola is a scam.

Wetin concern Fashola for this thread?

Atouke: You hate the truth rivers state currently owes $45.8m if you add the $200m ADB loan which will be reflected in 2015 debt stock thats $245m which will put rivers state in Number 2 position of the most indebted states in Nigeria. These is the legacy that amaechi will leave for rivers state people. A legacy of debt!

Which truth? Is Rivers state the only state that is at debt? The State has not even seen the $200m talk much of owing it. Please, talk about your clueless State and leave Rivers State alone.

Atouke: Am speaking from a vantage position! this thread is not about amaechi loot thats a story for another day proofs will feature when his imunity is gone, at the moment we are discussing APC debt.

Shut up!!! What vintage point? Hasn't he challenge anyone who care to expose him if they care? What will the perpetrators of this lies not piint one asset he has in Nigeria? Why Ghana? You think i am gullible? The energy you spend on Amaechi can help your state progress. On leaving the state with debt, Peter Obi left a debt of $43m for Anambra State but was hailed as a standard for managing resources. Since Cross River has a debt of $120m on her head. Then, don't bother about Rivers State. Meanwhile, it seems you are daft.

Atouke: Amaechi has built 2 mansions in ghana and bought a mansion in mexico where he has retrofitted with all sort of gadget that money can buy Using his rivers state money with the aid of the fake banana farm mexican investor who is fronting for his loot in mexico and goes around telling Rivers people that he has not built a single house since he became governor, He dosent have a house in port harcourt because he dosent plan to live in PH after his tenure, he intend to abscond, but the big eyes are watching his every move. Tell him his secret is not that secret afterall.

Please provide the pictures of the mansions in Ghana and him seated inside or forever remain silent. Please it seems you have miss so much. This propaganda of refinery and mansions in Ghana doesn't work again. Find another story

Atouke: Am just putting you and your master on notice that the oga at the top is watching that $200 million loan. If Amaechi touches that money ghana and mexico will not be large enough to hide him. Be warned!

The same way I am begging you to help tell your boss in Bayelsa to try and develop the state. Thanks

Atouke: I have looked up your history on nairaland you are an APC and Amaechi paid piper. I have news for you read this:http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/07/rivers-assembly-approves-200m-water-project/

Your principal wants to borrow $200 million just 9 months before he leaves office! what do you think he will do with that loan amount with just 9 months left? steal it and park it in his Ghana and mexico foreign Account. just like his fellow APC governors are doing?.

This is the loan that will guarantee he recieves Ibori's treatment once his immunity expires. Since i know you have his ears tell Amaechi that the big eyes are watching him and the rivers state commonwealth under his care and that he will account for every kobo he has stolen & planning to.

Unlike his former boss whom he now treats with contempt he should be warned that in His case his wife is not at the supreme court to shield him from prosecution.

Then, you are what? You are PDP card carrying member. You create articles to attack APC states, so people should all agree with you Now FYI, the Governor wont touch that money that money. He is only securing the loan. Infact for you to access that kind it takes time. If FG (Abuja) and other states who don't can go for World Bank. Why not Rivers State.

For the water project read http://www.thetidenewsonline.com/2014/08/25/amaechi-defends-200m-water-loan-says-itll-benefit-rivers-people-in-future/ of interest “ …Many people were shouting ‘don’t take the loans’, the train they are building in Lagos is $500million from World Bank and we are only borrowing $200million to give Port Harcourt water which will not even be done by my government. What I am doing is trying to get the money out.”
The loan, according to the governor, will be paid back in 40 years and will not be a strain to the next administration considering the repayment scheme.
“ The loan goes for 2.4 per cent for 40 years. So, even though we are paying t$2 per day for 40 years, we would have finished paying the loan and that will give Port Harcourt water and reduce death from water-borne disease,” he said.[i][/i]

I rather be an Amaechi paid piper than be a fool like you. I rather you concentrate your energy on Bayelsa State and stop reading profiles cos none gave a toss what you think about me. I am proud Rivers man, who will keep supporting the state when I see it going on a right path. Rivers State is bigger than Abuja or Aso Rock for me. Please go through my posts, they are pro-Amaechi I agree, but show me one of your post that isanti-PDP? Please go through my post once more and you will see I am proud Cinematographer. I am not like you who is desperate for your boss to remain in office cos you know once he is out; labour market beckons.

Meanwhile, why have you refused to furnish me on how Enugu and Cross River will pay those huge sums on their heads?

Atouke: you should be wondering how APC states will pay off the huge debt they plunged their state in. APC governors are debtors who motgage the future of their citizens on loans that go into their private accounts

You are bigger than what you are doing? An elementary school pupilwho wants to score cheap political points wont even open a terrible thread like this. Like I said, Cross River and Enugu are owing more than Rivers and Edo States. The forners are PDP while the latter are APC states. Compare with their financial strengths. Rivers and Edo States can comfortable pay up while that cannot be siaid of the aforementioned PDP States.

My observation: Keke should be banned from plying major roads in the country.

IBB will be given a soft landing by the e-rats of u dem party na. Since the man is now a pady pady of their Ebelechukwu

EasternLeopard: How many of them you................

I only ministered to them

SLIDEwaxie: As usual, you jes want to remove our mouth from the fed's incredible debt profile!!

Like I used to say, fish brains are sold for cheap at shoprite for those who are too foolish to knw that most of those states u claimed are APC were PDP until late last year or early this year.

So, did they jes enter the debt this year, or it was being accumulated since they were PDP?

Jes like APC govnrs being impeached for crimes perpetrated while as a PDP govnr when much corruption goes with impunity!

Ask the OP, how many PDP states owe more than Rivers State. Infact in Niger Deltan as a whole. Rivers is the 3rd least state out of nine indebted states.

#Abia State - $35.5m
#AkwaIbom State - $59.9m
#Bayelsa State - #33.5m
#Cross River State - $120.2m
#Edo State - $48.4m
#Imo State - $51.2m
#Ondo State - $51.4m
#Rivers State - $45.8m

Honourable mentioned
#Enugu State - $60.3m
#Ebonyi State - $43.3m
#Anambra State - $41.5m

How will States like Enugu and Cross River pay up?

Atouke: APC States External Debt($)
1)Borno $16,070,015
2)Edo $48,399,513
3)Imo $51,267,026
4)Kano $64,318,822
5)Kwara $45,687,046
6)Lagos $1,020,410,674
7)Nassarawa $47,526,268
Ogun $116,689,249
9)Osun $73,404,212
10)Oyo $80,112,084
11)Ekiti $48,075,639
12)Rivers $45,874,509
13)Sokoto $45,116,786
14)Yobe $32,902,152
15)Zamfara $31.251,921

Total = $1,767,028,916

Total ammount owed by 19 PDP +1 APGA + I LP States = $1,246,188,061
APC States are more indebted than states run by other political parties.

This thread is terrible. Enugu and Ebonyi that are parasites to Nigeria state owe more than some APC states

I have visited Kogi once for a job with a friend;the area that shares border with Benue State, can't remember the name of that place. Though a village, but I will tell you I enjoyed my stay there
