Religion / Re: Is It Wrong For Christians To End A Marriage Due To Impotency Of A Partner by mamarika: 10:28am On Oct 05, 2014
The wisdom of man is the foolishness of God!
keemaQ:
personally, I preach sex before marriage - atleast after introduction, as a matter of fact, I'm going to make sure my fiancee is pregnant before she becomes my wife, it might be wrong but not being able to procreate in a marraige might lead you to doing even something more wrong, couples with the 'trying to concieve' status go through hell - especially the wife.

Test each other's engine be for drive home, God will understand

Health / Ebola:♍ɣ Experience In A Lab Today!!! by mamarika: 5:14pm On Sep 01, 2014
ℓ̊ have always said it that the worst thing that has happened τ̅☺ naija is allowing the virus get into the country at all,cos ℓ̊ tell you this country has not got what it takes to curb its spread.
ℓ̊ just came in few hours ago from a private lab to run a pt test Απϑ received a shocker.
When ℓ̊ came in, 2 people where sitting already before me.ℓ̊ approached the lady taking their sample Απϑ told her what ℓ̊ came for.after attending to them,it was ♍Ɣ turn Απϑ ℓ̊ was asked τ̅☺ sit.
As the gal who was about τ̅☺ take ♍Ɣ samples approached me,wearing the same glooves she used for the two people @least which ℓ̊ witnessed.
ℓ̊ quietly told her A̶̲̥̅♏ sorry but she cannot touch me with that same hands Απϑ glooves ,she picked offence like are U̶̲̥̅̊ too special or something but ℓ̊ stood ♍Ɣ ground,she later started to plead with me that it was the routine to use a single gloove for as many people who came in @ the same time that am so lucky she has just used the glooves forr only two people.
When ℓ̊ still insisted ,she begged me Απϑ said that was the last glooves they had,that she will remove Απϑ use her bare hands τ̅☺ collect the sample.
Meanwhile ,this Ȋ̝̊̅§ one of the big medlabs in town.by the time ℓ̊ sat down the lady Απϑ educated her over hours about the implications of their practice τ̅☺ themselves Απϑ other patients, she was almost crying.she told me she would have been happy if ℓ̊ can see the owner of the lab Απϑ talk τ̅☺ him at lenght but he wroks in a teaching hospital Απϑ only comes to the private lab after work.she said the owner of the place instructed to use a single gloove forr multiple patients.infact she may be punished forr using one forr just two patients.

Really wish ℓ̊ was able τ̅☺ see the owner of the place.God help naija Ooº°˚˚°ºoO .

Health / Re: How I Survived Ebola - Late Nurse's Fiance by mamarika: 9:55am On Sep 01, 2014
You would have been making so much sense if the authorities will have anything good to offer,but unfortunately they don't, that's if they even pick their calls (speaking from experience) otherwise u would have been soooooooo right.God help this country.
Reference:

I disagree with you completely. And will continue to dispute many other similar responses. All the points higlighted are borne out of sentiment and go against common sense and statutory instructions on how and what to do in cases of suspected or proven exposure. Sentiment brought this virus to Nigeria. Sentiment has spread it as far as Portharcourt today. Whether we like it or not, this is not a disease to approach in any way no matter your feelings for the afflicted. It simply cannot be handled without the best PPE. If you are not properly trained and equiped you are just going to kill yourself and possibly infect yet more in the process.

Once a suspicion is raised get in touch with the authorities immediately. Do not attempt to administer any care whatsoever. You will only worsen the situation.

McStoic: Pls stop quoting me if you cannot be unbiased or objective while doing that. The said oil firm employee you are talking about is already an employee and the overall template used for their own employment, when thoroughly digested are not the same like that of doctors. As per Corpers being used in elections and paid, I guess you also understand that the corpers are doing government much more favour here and not the other way round? If I am a petrochemical graduate undergoing my NYSC and you employ me temporarily to help you in organizing elections, it is only normal that you foot the bills because I am stepping out of my comfort zone to help you. The updates and exposition I receive on how to do the job are not really in line with the career I have chosen nor where I want to be as against resident doctors. YOU REALLY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THE DOCTORS ARE BEING FORCED AGAINST THEIR OWN WILL TO DO RESIDENCY. I get your drift on there being a possible shortage of specialists in the long run, but even when you become a consultant, your years of exams and hardwork still get compensated when you get employed, so I don't know what you are on about. From my years of experience and associating with my doctor friends nay family members, one of the things I always hear many complain about is that other graduates seem to arrive to their life destinations faster than doctors (There are some doctors who did masters in public health etc. got appointments elsewhere and abandoned their steths and sphygs). I have a doctor friend who has put his residency training on hold, having become a staunch PDP youth leader. So many still who checked into other endeavours.

For your information, I have never said resident doctors should never be paid. All I am saying is that they sould be paid but made to pay for their updates and medical exams. About your continual submission that government don't foot their bills, stop making some of us who are in the know seem ignorant.......Some of us here have family members who are doctors abroad. And heaven knows the costs of doing the residency there when compared to Nigeria where the government is more "Father Abrahamaic". When compared to overseas, wards pay through their noses though they receive some payments. Note: There are so many doctors who are worth their onions in gold, but my distaste lies against those who seek to intimidate others or try to go against the rationale just because they deem themselves kinda higher species. Those who are really called and chosen to be doctors are not difficult to figure out if you ask me.
Tell me your favourite drink Απϑ ℓ̊ will get it DHL τ̅☺ you with urgency.Fact filled post,unbiased,objective ,Απϑ honest!!! God bless you.

Wagasigiungu: We all owe it to our selves,to our nation and our fellow country-men to be the best we can. There is nothing to rejoice about. Its not a matter of who won the day or who is the victor and who is the vanquished. Let's all sit back, spare a second and think about the innocent souls who have lost their lives,those who have suffered a lot during the duration of this strike. The Drs keep saying "its the masses/public that will suffer, forgetting he is also one of the masses or has family members. Anyone can fall critically ill @ anytime. I know of a doctor who lost a father-figure as a result of this strike because the private hosp couldn't handle his case. We all could have been victims. So please enough of all this. First and foremost, we are humans and all deserve the VERY BEST in life, we are brothers and sisters of one great nation,NIGERIA, we are brothers and sisters in religion (muslims and christians alike). There is nothing to b proud of regarding the outcome of this strike. Let's all hope and pray that a long-lasting calm and harmony reigns for long in the health sector and all other sectors of Nigeria. One Love !!!

Government does not pay for their exams, update courses , exam materials and all. What Government pays for is the work these resident do on a daily basis. The average resident in surgery does or assist in carrying out an average of 20 surgeries in a month, you honestly feel that they do not deserve to be paid ?

How come private hospitals like Eko hospital pay their resident doctors even better than what FG pays, Are they that magnanimous or you feel they have money to throw around.

The Hospital is a combination of a training and working environment.

gmyguy:
Any medical doctor in the endemic region ought to treat every fever, especially if you got a history of collapse in airport, like Ebola.

When we were in med school, during the Avian/ Swine flu epidemic. it was one of our questions during our finals exams, regarding a traveler with symptoms of FLU who recently visited Mexico, the answer was straight up Swine flu. The problem i think is most Doctors do not concern themselves with foreign affairs. Unfortunately, Ebola is not forgiving for such mistakes. As a doctor, you need to be very versatile and highly suspicious and have a high index of suspicion for such public health red flag diseases: HIV, Hepatitis, TB, now Ebola, etc. When you see such patients, you shouldn't miss diagnosis. You may not get a second chance.

drmat02: That T uesday morning continued to throw updrama, until things got to a head. The theaterwas suddenly shut down by the JOHESUpeople. They all wanted their own consultantsto join up with the consultant surgeons for thesurgery before anything could be done in thetheater. Even the cleaners, the clerks, thetechnicians, all wanted their consultants todress up and join the surgeons. After all, thegovernment had just approved their demands,one of which and most importantly was toappoint them consultants. "You are not betterthan us" they chanted. "We have switched offthe power and water; the theater is not swept;the instruments are not washed; and we havelocked up the theater. Nothing will happen hereuntil, we have our own consultants; The federalgovernment has signed it!"The surgeons, adamant, wanted to break thedoors and have the procedure done against allodds, and that's when the fight began. TheJOHESU mob, descended on the consultants.Meehn! The old men had to run for their lives.This was real hate-driven fight, nothing likesurgical procedures which they were used to.But, this was the last straw that broke thecamel's back.* * *There were emergency meetings of all doctors'associations all over the federation becausesimilar ugly anarchy had occurred nationalwide. That was when the doctors came up withthe twenty four point demand for the federalgovernment to look into and implement, in orderto sanitize the health sector and bring it backto order. But, they were wrong.They were wrong because, some politicians,desperate to win elections next year, hadalready sided with the far more populousJOHESU who had swiftly gotten the other tradeunions to sympathize with them, by telling thelies of "doctors pride and arrogance." So, thegovernment threw out the doctors' demands,ordering them to get back to the hospitals."But, your excellency, the hospital is not likeevery other institution. Things must be of thehighest standards; you don't just go aboutgranting consultancy to everyone because, thatterm describes patient-doctor relationships andgranting it to everyone will disrupt the chain ofcommand which is critical to the success andefficiency of the hospital. Besides, how can wegrant consultancy to clerks, cleaners, wardorderlies, cooks, nutritionists etc. This will leadto anarchy." Our representative was as calm asice, while he spoke."Everybody in the hospital, must be equal.That's what JOHESU demands and it must bedone," the government spokesman thundered."OK, whatever, but, we thought we could help inorganizing the health sector since the doctorsare the protectors of health care in the country.We thought it was our duty to point out thisdisaster about to happen", our representativeoffered. He continued. "What you are aboutdoing is like coming to the army and orderingthat everyone must be equal. You know, thiswill cause a lot of anarchy and disruption andthen collapse because, everyone would startdoing do as they please.""That's not the concern of the government fornow," the government spokesman, with a heavyIgbo accent, thundered.Our representative was visibly disappointed.But, somehow, he, managed to go on."Fine. We don't have much choice here, but tofind a way to cope with the anarchy. But, whatabout the other demands we made, like thegovernment equipping the hospitals, granting100% insurance to the citizens, improving ourhazard allowance, and payments of all theallowances government have never paid us eventhough it has been promising to pay us for thelast twenty years. We also want to bereassured that JOHESU be stopped fromchasing and pushing pathologist away from thelab, as you know the pathologist is far far thebest qualified to head the Labs. And we alsodemand that the post of CMD be reserved fordoctors because it is a post defined by doctor-patient relationship and as such, belongsnaturally to the doctors." He went on toenumerate all the twenty four point demands.And all along, the government spokesmanlooked impatiently irritated." Have you finished?" he asked ourrepresentative."Yes, sir""Well, JOHESU has demanded that non of theseyour demands must be met. They do not wantdoctors to earn higher than them or be placedhigher than them in any case. So, Yourdemands are null and void"."But, you met their demands, why not ours?"" I'm done with you people. Just go away."We were so downcast when we left the meetinghall. Surely, JOHESU's alliance with the bbiasedmedia has paid dividends. The governmentalways follow the public opinion and throughbribery and lies to the media, JOHESU had wonthe public opinion.It was really not difficult to explain. And onequestion was in our minds. How were we goingto run the hospitals, now? The anarchy wouldsurely worsen. The doctors would start goingabroad and establishing their own teachinghospitals; the government hospitals wouldsurely collapse. Everyone will now become adoctor and patients will surely die as a result.But, in the midst of the sorrow, our ever strongpresident spoke up."We'll down our tools; this is the time to savethe health sector or let it fall apart, if we fail.We'll go on our own strike, to press home ourpoints, our demands." He beamed with resolve."Yes, supported! Solidarity! Now or never!"Came our coruse.We were all elated and ready to fight. Because,the fight is not about our ego and pride, as theyhave told the media, but, for the well being ofthe health sector and the patients, we werereinvigorated and ready and resolved to fight tillthe end. We knew that letting up would spell theend to excellence and quality in health care inthis country. So we went home encouraged.* * *Meanwhile back in the hospitals, the anarchyworsened. the newly appointed 'consultants'would not listen to anyone, tampered withpatients management, would not do their work.And as patients died in their numbers becausethe 'doctor pharmacists' have startedtampering with doctors' prescriptions, andbecause the lab scientists were now prescribingdrugs, the doctors were blamed.This hastened the decision of the doctors to goon strike and continue with the strike. And eventhe recent sack of most of the doctors have notbroken their resolve to continue the fight untilorder and sanity is restored. Only one thinghurts me, personally, though. My friend, Ikenna.Somehow, the post exposure prophylaxis hetook after the hiv patient had stuck a needle onhis forehead, did not work or perhaps, failed ata point. And now, he has become infected. Herecently went to test himself for hisinternational passport and there, he testedpositive. Ah! He was only trying to save lives.And he is still a virgin. He could not havegotten it through sex.Yesterday, he cried again, while we perusedthrough the papers and saw the headlines andwords used to describe doctors. Words like'wicked', 'Barbaric', 'greedy', 'insensitive' etc. Itoo, shed a tear or two.

You sited an e.g of people calling Their JOHESU to come Απϑ attend to Their health issues if need.you don't need τ̅☺ express this ignorance as we all know that johesu cannot work effectively without doctors And in same way,Doctors CAN NEVER effectively.

@ op you have done nothing but exposed bitterness, ignorance Απϑ stupidity!!! ♍Ɣ friend wake up to REALITY Απϑ stop swimming in sentiments Απϑ emotions.
What has all you have said got to do with mourning the late Dr Adadevoc?? Ur NMA have only displayed Their stupidity Απϑ selfishness Απϑ you expect Nigerians to support them? Dr Adedovoc made a wonderful sacrifice worth celebrating her for Απϑ every sane Nigerian should, people could make same sacrifices in Their own different ways ,musnt be a doctor.in this same Ebola fight two nurses have passed on too infact A nurse was d̶̲̥̅̊ first Nigerian to pass on.Απϑ we mourn all of them.

So all u guys who have been insulting and bashing Nigerian doctors out of a combination of envy, jealousy and ignorance are now leading d "mourning" for Dr Adadevoh.....oh I see....all of a sudden, u guys appreciate d sacrificies doctors make for their patients despite all d challenges confronting d health sector.....challenges which d FG is not willing to address....well your "friend" Goodluck Jonathan has just travelled to Germany 4 medical check-up and left d rest of u ignorant people behind in Nigeria. Well, at least u can call your JOHESU "consultants" to come and attend 2 u if u have any health issues. But I forgot...since d outbreak of Ebola, JOHESU has been unusually silent....of course they are...because they lack d intellectual capacity and proactiveness to deal with d Ebola outbreak...AFTERALL, IT WAS THEIR "DARLING" NURSE WHO ESCAPED QUARANTINE, RAN TO ENUGU, AND PUT D LIVES OF MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS AT RISK...so it's back 2 d usual unsung heroes "the doctors" to handle. Dr Adadevoh isn't d only doctor who makes sacrifices for her patients. Thousands of doctors all over d country do. Some of us even go as far as making financial donations on behalf of poor patients who can't afford healthcare. I've witnessed this, and I've partaken in it as well. Now let's look at this: Contracting a disease like Ebola is part of d HAZARDS of d medical profession, and currently d FG pays doctors a monthly hazard allowance of N5k....so Dr Adadevoh was entitled to the GRAND SUM of N5k monthly for putting herself at risk of contracting d Ebola virus as well as other highly-transmissible diseases like HIV, Hepatitis and Lassa Fever (which killed a dear friend and colleague of mine some years back). And somebody wants us to just sit back and act like nothhing's wrong with d system? NO we won't. You guys attack Nigerian doctors for running private clinics, but all of a sudden, u turn around and praise Dr Adadevoh who was ALSO WORKING in a private hospital as at d time of her death. U Nigerians are amazing. Well, in case u don't know, d ban on residency training will have disastrous consequences on d health sector....consequences that only d average Nigerian like you and I will suffer. Politicians will continue to travel abroad for d slightest headache, while you and me are left in Nigeria to suffer d rot of d health sector. A ban on residency training means a stoppage in d production of SPECIALIST DOCTORS. So by the time that your child with Sickle Cell has to travel abroad to see a specialist, or women with Fibroids have to travel abroad for a simple Myomectomy operation, you will realize d rot in which d FG has placed d health sector. So continue your blind and sentimental support for stupidity....as for we doctors, d sky is always d limit, no matter d circumstance. Opportunities are limitless both within and outside d country. We are INDISPENSABLE, and d FG will soon realize that and go on it's knees. I'm aware from some very reliable sources that d FG is already trying to intervene through secret meetings involving Sen David Mark. As for d rest of you "mourning" Dr Adadevoh, keep your condolences to yourself....d NMA doesn't need them....and d Adadevoh family certainly doesn't need them.....bunch of sentimental hypocrites.[/quote]

that's not how it happened ♍Ɣ friend,but what you were made to believe from the lies on the media
Health / Re: Family Of Dead Nigerian Nurse On The Run by mamarika: 1:18pm On Aug 10, 2014
[/color][color=#000099]ℓ̊ am not interested in making arguments with you,cos you are the one speaking from informations U̶̲̥̅̊ gather over the media,Απϑ ℓ̊ may not blame you, ℓ̊ only pray that GOD will sanitise our system .
Now let me tell you,ℓ̊ knw this family to the core to,so ℓ̊ knw all that happened step by step.
Who is speaking heresay?for you information thant nurse was picked from her house on Monday last week and that was after her family called first consultant hospital to say she was sick ,Απϑ then she died on tueday night .before then ℓ̊ have been reading over the internet that a doctor who treated th liberian man has tested positve Απϑ Ȋ̝̊̅§ critically ill,little did ℓ̊ knw someone close was involved.if she was quarantineed initially as they made us believe @ least she shld not have been in her house not even when the doctor tested positive Απϑ was down.she started manifestintg @ before she was taken forr trtment Απϑ she died even before the doc.
This is what happened in a country where people talk much Απϑ do less,a country where there Ȋ̝̊̅§ № EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
What measures did the ministry of health put in place τ̅☺ curb dis situation if it ever got τ̅☺ Nigeria?nothing !!they believe it was only the birthright disease of liberians,see myopism?
Was anybody from liberia not suppose τ̅☺ be a suspect whether sick or well since it has an incubation periood of 21day Max .
Listen ℓ̊ knw @ least the family of this nurse too well to be deceived by the lies on the media ,they can't even lie τ̅☺ me cos ℓ̊ observe tins forr myself as A̶̲̥̅♏ close .ℓ̊ may not say of other workers cos ℓ̊ dnt knw Dem except for what ℓ̊ read on the media which ℓ̊ dnt even believe anymore
♍Ɣ hand Ȋ̝̊̅§ paining me typing Απϑ ℓ̊ have got τ̅☺ take care of ♍Ɣ darling Bby Rika now,but the truth is we Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ in trouble .we need God S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ seriously τ̅☺ help cos our govt is so corrupt even in cases as this ,God help heal our land for the sake of your people ,in Jesus name ,Amen.=eaglechild]

The Liberian was handled with a high index of suspicion by the healthcare workers based on his symptoms and history of travel.

No one was certain it was Ebola at the time he presented and he denied history of contact which would have helped curb the spread. However, the medical personnel still insisted that he be tested for Ebola

Quarantine processes started immediately the case was confirmed to be Ebola and that was when contact tracing also started and that was when the nurse was picked up. I cannot corroborate your story that the nurse was neglected because she was not the only contact and she was not even the first to test positive.

Bear in mind that a host of other illnesses can present as Ebola, it is not a spot diagnosis, and the singular most important thing in this scenario that would have helped is a history of contact which was vehemently denied by the index case.

Do not let emotions and hear say becloud your judgement.

Media.in a sane country government are absolutely best but in a country filled with lies Απϑ deceit where people wants power'money Απϑ fame Απϑ nobody wants to do any work ,,hmmm ℓ̊ fear what is best here.
Now for your information that nurse who first died was allowed home as usual after wrk Απϑ am sure it was so with others too who worked on that day .she took ill in her house last Sunday before she was taken with an ambulance on Monday by some WHO persons after the family. called to say she was ill.now tell me was she or anyone supposed τ̅☺ be allowed home?

Allowing the liberian into this country was the greatest nightmare of Nigerian.as Nigeria Απϑ our corrupt system cannot curb this spread.We are in deep trouble this country people especially in a situation like this where people do nothing Απϑ lie to its populace on the media .ℓ̊ would have beleived all these lies if ℓ̊ don't know the family first hand .it Ȋ̝̊̅§ dawn τ̅☺ ♍ε̲̣̣̣̥ that this country is in trouble"
eaglechild: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/ebola-alert-nigeria-records-2-deaths-9-cases/ Giving the current status of the outbreak, Chukwu said; “Since the last time I addressed you on Tuesday when I informed the global community that Nigeria has confirmed seven cases of Ebola Virus Disease, between then and today we have additional two confirmed cases.
“The total now is nine confirmed cases of which two are late. They are the same two we told you about earlier, the index case and the health worker who we unfortunately lost some days ago.  So as at this morning, total number of confirmed cases in Nigeria stands at nine. Eight are Nigerian and one was an American – Liberian. Seven are alive and receiving treatment in Lagos. “
28.5% case fertility
The Minister affirmed that so far Nigeria’s case fertility rate is 28.6 percent.  “In the ECOWAS region, the case fertility rate stands at 55 percent which means 46 percent of people who have suffered Ebola are alive and living witnesses. I want to reiterate again that in the last 48 hours we have confirmed two additional  EVD cases here in Nigeria . They are Nigerians and are people who have had contact with the index case and as at today our fatality is two.
“ We do not want anybody to be lost. They are surviving and we are treating them here in Lagos. There are more suspected cases. We will let the media know the result of these suspected cases that we are currently monitoring,” Chukwu remarked

Stop this ignorance allll of u,the one who created this trade is a wickedd liar!how could people say things that U̶̲̥̅̊ aree not sure of ?things as wicked as this?who told u that nonsense?honestly Nigeria is in trouble Απϑ filled with lies .almost everyone is a liar.GoD !!! this is soo wicked.
Forr your information,that nurse who died (the first Nigerian τ̅☺ die)is a widow,have four kids ,the first son is serving outside Lagos Απϑ she lives with 3 there in lag.am very very close to that family so ℓ̊ have first hand info abt them.
U said the nurse ran away Απϑ refused to come forr treatment that's why she died.may GOD forgive you forr this wicked statement!
She worked in a hospital Απϑ left home as usual after her duty time,when later the hospital got to knw of what exactly was Patrick sawyers problem Απϑ got the ministry of health involved what physical efforts did dey make to get all the persons who had contact with him for proper isolation Απϑ quarantine?nothing but all they do Ȋ̝̊̅§ keep making false lies in the media "we have isolated all the people who had contact with the liberian.
Untill this woman started having fever @ home Απϑ then it was getting worse that her immediate younger brother "who has a wife Απϑ a child "plus her 3 kids got the hospital on fone "ℓ̊ mean first consultant "where she works that they told them to isolate the woman Απϑ leave where she is.they took the adress from them Απϑ later they came with an ambulance to pick her .they gave the relatives some numbers to reach them with.
But ℓ̊ tell you the last conversation,this people had with this medical persons was on Tuesday nite when they called them to say the nurse was dead.of course they never went to see the course!
Now tell me,is it not the work of those medicals to go Bα̲̅я̲̅K Απϑ pick up the contacts as they proclaim to us on the media?but № ,they work only on the media.they never cared to go Απϑ fish out people who has had contact with the woman.even when the family has been calling those numbers since Tuesday,none is available,the one which Ȋ̝̊̅§ available,№ one Ȋ̝̊̅§ picking up.they had to go Απϑ lodge themselve in a hotel room in a bid to isolate themselves " the womans 3kids Απϑ her younger bro "all out of confusion.saying they will not move out of there untill they can either contact those w.H.0 persons for proper treament Απϑ quarantine but if they don't they will stay in that hotel room forr @least 30 days as since they Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ not sure if they have it or not Απϑ since the incubation period is 21days Max.
Only one who is close to that family knows the trauma Απϑ confusion they Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ going thru, our govt Ȋ̝̊̅§ doing nothing to put contact in check, it soo annoying Απϑ pathetic,ℓ̊ would have never beleived this going by all the news ℓ̊ hear abt how the ministry of health Ȋ̝̊̅§ helping,but knw ℓ̊ A̶̲̥̅♏ very close τ̅☺ them so ℓ̊ speak with them every day.as @ this morning when last ℓ̊ spoke with them,they are still in the hotel room.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][b][/b]I sincerely pray that God will help this situation,the truth is Nigeria does not have what it takes curb this disease "I mean personnel Απϑ facilities"
The first Nigerian to die of this disease"EBOLA"in Nigeria,A NURSE working with first consultant hospital obalende,lagos happens to be a close friend's Απϑ colleague's Aunty.
ℓ̊ must tell you,forget all these propaganda Απϑ fake hopes we keep getting on the media from the minister of health Απϑ all "they are all fairy tales"
That nurse is an elderly woman,a widow,she has four kids.the first son is on youth service outside Lagos,while the other three lives there with her in Lagos.the woman started having fever on Sunday with her kids in the same housee.they called Their hospital ℓ̊ mean where the nurse works Απϑ they told them τ̅☺ isolate her that WHO persons will come pick her up that they Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ suspecting "Ebola"as the female doctor she worked with was already ill Απϑ diagnosed of Ebola.
They came on to her residence Απϑ picked her up with an ambulance,Απϑ on Tuesday night they got a message that the woman was dead.cos that was the first thing ♍Ɣ friend told ♍ε̲̣̣̣̥ on Wednesday morning.
Now the immediate younger brother of this woman, a young ma,married with a wife Απϑ kid ,also had contacts with his late sister plus the 3kids ,ℓ̊ have left out Their neighbours.who may have also had contact too.
The younger brother who had contact with her said that the WHO representatives gave some numbers τ̅☺ get in touch with them after carrying the late nurse, the young man said he has called all the numbers,@least so that himself Απϑ her 3kids will be kept under surveillance as they had contact when she was already manifesting,but № way,all the mumbers Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ not available one which is available,№ picking.
As ℓ̊ speak the man Απϑ the 3kids Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ lodged in a hotel there in lag (will not mention)the hotel name in a bid τ̅☺ isolate themselves from family members)for @least 30 days as incubation period is 21days Max.this is hotel lodge is never the right thing to do ℓ̊ told ♍Ɣ friend,cos if truly ,they contacted the virus ,then people serving in the hotel arnt safe Απϑ they go home too.but the family soooooo confused more so they havnt gotten the w.h.o representatives on fone !
But we keep hearing all the contacts Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ isolated Απϑ under quarantine!!!we Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ really in a big mess!ℓ̊ must say ,ℓ̊ pray God helps...only him can.
