Please guys i have been admitted to pharmacy in ANSU but i am already doing med/sug through JUPEB, as it stands i don't want to leave either of them. My plan is to combine the two of them cause from my understanding Jupeb has same course outline with year one (i may be wrong though), i know it could be very stressfull. I dont know the degree [of stress] honestly this could be very costly paying both jupeb and pharmacy school fees. I also heard that i can pay acceptance fee then write to the VC to delay my admission to 2018 towards the end of my jupeb program, i don't really know what to do i want to complete this jupeb program and also i can't let pharmacy go just like that.

Please i need experience advice. thank u guys!

My younger brother was in your shoes last year. I adviced him to forget the JUPEB stuff. It is a game of chance. Any thing can happen. Grab the Pharmacy & start school immediately. Don't stress yourself unnecessarily.

This is how it should Go....
Take her out with the ring in ur pockets, have fun eat, drink and laugh together.
Then you start this way-----
Baby there is sumtine i have been meaning to tell you. I have been keeping it away from you but i think its the right time to tell you. But what ever it is that am gonna tell you, please find a place in your heart to forgive me. I love you and i mean it each and every time i tell you i love you.
I have always lied to you about my self. The truth is i never served in abuja, was never living in abuja and am nt working in abuja. I work in Uyo no abuja. I lied to you because i never knew we are gonna be this close to each other. I lied to you because i thought our relationship was gonna lead to no where. But i was wrong. Now i have realized that am wrong, i have realized that i you are my source of joy.
Then you kneel and say Please my Love am sorry. You are my perfect half.
Then you bring out the ring and propose to her.....



Thank me letter.

wonderful lines sis, but I don't think proposing same day is a good idea. It seems to me like manipulation- not allowing her to think, forgive & make up her mind.

Guy, tell her the whole truth, see her reaction towards you after that, then propose when you are convince she has forgiven you.

bdazzled:
I am not happy at all, i have decided not to write ICAN again, started from ATS1.......written this skills level 3 times now,passed MGE previous diet, passed FR now, if i write NOV again that will be the fourth diet, its so demorilizing for me, ordinary public sector been battling with it since 2015....i have just been crying.....i read so much for this diet, i myself knew i read.....everyone around me will just say they think i am over working myself with this exam....but see now i have failed it again..........i am so sad, even my boss said with the way i have read he wont be happy with me if i dont pass, i am so scared to tell him now

My dear, I understand how you feel. It has happened to me before. I abandoned ICAN for two years in anger. My plan was never to write it again. But along the line, I was challenged when I met my juniors in school (those I used to organise tutorials for) qualifying. Can you imagine that I just cleared 4 papers at the skill level at once? I am preparing for My professional level already. My advice? Work hard & pray hard. Good luck!

I used to download songs and documents from this bundle until it suddenly stops. I can still browse but no download again. it's like Airtel has blocked download on this bundle. Have you similar experience?

1. The first thing is for you to know that it is a sin.
2. Next make up your mind to stop it.
3. Pray for God's Grace.
4. Avoid tempting situations, like being alone.
5. Whenever the feeling comes, just go out or grap your Bible & begin to pray.
6. Join a Bible believing church & fellowship regularly.
7. Read your Bible & pray everyday. May God help you.

My husband is a very faithful man, no extra babes or stuff but only makes love to me like once a month,yes we sleep on same bed under same roof. He disvirgined me after we were married 6 yrs ago. i feel sex starved, and cant even think of cheating on him. how do i tell if its low libido and what can i do to improve our sex life. i need help pls. thanks

1. You can only 'devirginate' or 'deflower' sb. There is no word like 'disvirgined' in English.

2. Have you discussed the issue with your husband? What is his response?

3. Have you been making advances at him in the bedroom? What has been his reactions?

4. Answer these questions & I will know how to advice you.

perry2020:
What made you think I have never gone through hard times,the hardest times sef back then in school when I would be given 5k as monthly allowance I was staying in an hostel were I had to buy food and buying food each day twice daily alone was 6k for the month(not three times daily ooo)(t wasn't even enough for feeding sef not to talk of other things oo),no other money or source of income,i could sell anything sell able(bedsheets,clothes),i made jewelries and sold,liquid soap and sold(aldoe twasnt as if much money was coming in but at least I could use the little to sustain). I cut unnecessary expenses,planned well and had a list of priorities.i knew girls who would go around with sugar daddies and hunt for white men(where are they today? Either dead,used for ritual or battling with stds and hiv,very few,very very few of them end up fine today and it's coz of grace ) Today look at me,am doing so fine and I have never regretted my doings for one day because those situations helped me in becoming who I am today. if I was into prostitution then do u think the grace of God would have been so buoyant in my life.
But girls of nowadays just love showoff,they want to be on 30 inches Brazilian hair and use the latest phones,assessories,latest dresses,shoes and bags even bleaching cream of 15-45k(which are unnecessary).

thumbs up babe! You are a pride to womenhood! I love you for this! I doff my hat for you!

My Advice: Just free your mind from sex. get more involve in church programmes and others physical activities, like going to gym or learning some new skills! sex is not food, so sex starvation can't kill you.

53-Year-Old US Man Sends Over
$100, 000 To A Nigerian 'Wife' He
Has Never Met

A 53-year-old man who has sent
over $100,000 to a woman he has
never met in Nigeria insists he is
only providing financial assistance
until she inherits $25.6 million
from her dead parents.
Steve appeared on Dr. Phil to
discuss his unusual relationship
with 'Kelly' who he met on an
online dating website in 2012.
He says the pair are legally
married in Nigeria, even though he
has never met her and they
usually only communicate online.
Steve says he has been giving her
the money for the last few years
to help her until she receives her
inheritance from her parents - she
claims they were killed in an Ohio
car crash in 2012.
Steve sells his plasma - a
yellowish liquid that has to be
separated from blood - twice a
week to ensure he can make
payments to 'Kelly' who lives with
'James,' her 'attorney.'
“I've sent Kelly about $103,000 in
the last 29 months,'”he said on
the show as a flabbergasted
audience listened.
“I've not met Kelly, but it doesn't
matter. I love her just the same.
She has an inheritance coming,
and I've always wanted to be a
millionaire, so it's like a match
made in heaven."
“I just love her. She is very
beautiful and warm, kind, caring
and loving.”
Steve says he has not met 'Kelly'
as she needs to stay in Nigeria to
help with signing the inheritance
forms.
He said that 'Kelly' came back to
the US he tried to met her, but it
didn't work out.
But when Dr Phil's team analysed
an email she sent Steve claiming
she was in South Dakota, the IP
address revealed it was sent from
Nigeria.
'Kelly' told Steve she went to a
nursing school in North Dakota,
but when the show contacted the
school they said no one with her
name had ever been enrolled.
But 'Kelly' is not only person Steve
is sending money to - he says he
is an accountant, and insists he is
on the verge of becoming a multi-
millionaire from several pending
inheritance deals with overseas
clients.
He says he is sending them
money to cover their legal fees as
they fight to obtain their
inheritances.
But he is now on probation for
cashing a fraudulent check that
was sent to him from Africa - he
was asked to cash it to help a
'client whose life was in danger'
and then asked to send $5,000 to
five people listed.
However the bank picked up on it
and he was arrested.
Steve's sister, Tammy, says she is
worried as he has been scammed
in the past. She is asking him to
cut ties with 'Kelly' - and his other
so-called clients.
“My brother is delusional,” Tammy
says. “’Kelly' could be a Nigerian
man behind a computer."

My Dearest
Thanks for your reply to my
mail,How is your day my dear? I
guess nice.
Mine is a little bit hot over here in
Dakar Senegal My name is Vivian
Aron I'm 24 years, from Sudan in
Africa. I am 5' 7" tall, Fair in
complexion,Single (never married
before) I am presently residing in
the refugee camp here in Dakar
Senegal as a result of the civil war
that was fought in my
country.My late father Dr.Raymond
Aron was the managing director of
Aron's ventures (Ltd) and he was
the personal adviser to the former
head of state before the rebels
attacked our house one early
morning and killed my mother and
my father in cold blood.It was only
me that is alive now and I
managed to make my way to a
nearby country Senegal where i am
living now in a refugee camp,and
this computer is belonging to a
Reverend that has a church here in
the camp.,I don't have any
relatives now whom I can go to all
my relatives ran away in the
middle of the war.The only person
I have now is Rev Patrick David
who is the Reverend Minister in
charge of the
church in this camp ( CHRIST THE
KING FOR ALL CHURCH).The
pastors e-mail address is
(revpatrickdavid_church@
yahoo.com ) He has been very nice
to me since I came here but I am
not living with him rather I am
living in the woman's hostel
because the camp have two
hostels one for men the other for
women.The Pastors Tel number is
(+221-770939366). Feel free to
call me through his number. If you
call and tell him that you want to
speak with me, he will send for me
in the hostel.As a refugee here I
don't have any right or privilege to
any thing be it money or whatever
because it is against the law of this
country. I want to go back to my
studies because I only attended
my first year before the tragic
incident that lead to my being in
this situation now took place.
Please listen to this, I have my late
father's death certificate here with
me which I will send to you
latter,because when he was alive
he deposited some amount of
money in a leading bank which he
used my name as the next of
kin,the amount in question is 2.9m
U.S Dollars (Two Million Nine
Hundred Thousand US Dollars).
So I will like you to help me
transfer this money to your
account and from it we can travel
to Europe and live there. I kept this
secret to people in the camp here
the only person that knows about it
is the Reverend because he is like
a father to me.
So in the light of above i will like
you to keep it to yourself and don't
tell it to anyone for I am afraid of
loosing my life and the money if
people gets to know about it.
Remember I am giving you all
these information due to the trust I
deposed on you.I like honest,
understanding and God fearing
people, truthful and a man of
vision, and hardworking.
My favorite language is English but
our language is Nubian and Nilo-
Hamitic but I speak English very
fluently because both my father
and mother studied in Europe. My
love, lets plan on how to meet you
now, in your country because i had
a conversation with the Reverend
about how i can leave to meet you
there in your country. According to
the Reverend , i need to have an
International passport in order to
warrant and secure my departure
from this camp. He said that with
the passport, i will have freedom to
visit you in your country. I will be
waiting to hear from you. please
help me contact the reverend to
know how long it will take for me
to get the passport. here is the
Reverend e- mail contact
(revpatrickdavid_church@
yahoo.com )Remember the
Reverend's Name Rev Patrick
David, Phone contact is
(00221-770939366).Meanwhile I
will like you to call me like I said i
have allot to tell you.Have a nice
day and think about me.Awaiting to
hear from you soonest
Thanks and remain blessed
Yours in love,
Vivian

Guys, am tired of getting these kind of emails from fraudulent guys and thought it wise to share so that no one will fall a victim.


Hi dear,
How are you?
My name is Evelyn, I am a female i
come across your profile here, and
i would like to add you as my
friend and to establish a lasting
relationship with you. you can
contact me through my email
address If you are interested in
knowing more about me, so I can
send you my picture and as well
tell you more about me. I'll be
waiting to hear your reply,
Yours sincerely friend
Evelyn.

I stayed in the family house and it was a nice experience.

There are a lot of rules though, but they are there for the good of all. and it is only an undisciplined person who would not like to abide by the simple rules of life.

you can never be lonely and you make friends with people you can trust.

and It's not advisable to go and stay alone in the town Where you don't know anybody. you may be ill and nobody around to help.

Nice one bro! Keep it up!

@pilotman ,if you're in Lagos and you want the best and most reliable solar technology even for complete homes or complexes call me . Il introduce you to the inventor . A US marine colonel here in Nigeria and that's all he does , technology and super guaranteed.

Please how can I contact you?

If you guys were engaged & you slept with her, & she tells you that you impregnated her, then that stands. You can't run away from it. You must accept responsibility for your actions as a man.

Bringing up her promiscuity now is not an excuse. That is what we call "a case lacking locus standi" in Law. Now You can't proof that you are not responsible, insofar as you had slept with her.

And don't even think that abandoning her now will solve the problem. She might cry to God, which is even the worse.

My advice: just suspend the marriage for now. Let her give birth, go for DNA, before you either continue then or you back out. So that even heaven will bare you witness. Good luck. Pls let's be wise and learn from the mistakes of others.

iamfbanj:
my experience ....Total off grid cant work in Nigeria, it is impossible for now, because for you to stay total off grid , mehn you have to be some electronic genius, like converting DC stuff to AC, because i notice DC stuff is gud, but due to some things you cant rely on them, but my latest advice is to use LED things, tv, bulb, nd there are sow low wattage device like fan , dvd, (3w), e.t.c but that total off grid is impossible for now, because most solar panel are not that full wattage, they are labelled wattage... thats my opinion

I am referring to Total Solar Lights used at homes, sold at Total filling stations across Nigeria!

To
enable off-grid, low-income
communities to meet some of
their most basic everyday needs,
Total has introduced Awango by
Total , a line of innovative, reliable
solar lighting and phone charging
solutions.

the sale of this light has been on in Nigeria for sometimes now. Please who has used this light and What is your experience with it?

Remember: these are people ' s husbands and fathers.

one of them was lamenting the other day that they would be commanded to go and fight BH with almost bare hands. and that leaves them with no other option than to run for their dear lives, when the battle becomes unbearable . Which way Nigeria?

Lordaweezy: ROOT YOUR PHONE GET GREENIFY AND HILBERNATE APPS MAKING YOUR PHONETO RUN SLOW.WHICH HD GAME DO YOU HAVE THAT IS MAKING YOUR PHONE SLOW

Pls how do I root it?

I always have this error message on my tecno l3 "internal memory running out". it makes the phone dull. most times, I can't even access my contacts or call log. and the message keeps flagging every now then. pls what can I do?

Frequently asked questions on Ebola
virus disease
Updated 8 August 2014
1. What is Ebola virus disease?
Ebola virus disease (formerly known as Ebola
haemorrhagic fever) is a severe, often fatal
illness, with a death rate of up to 90%. The
illness affects humans and nonhuman
primates (monkeys, gorillas, and
chimpanzees).
Ebola first appeared in 1976 in two
simultaneous outbreaks, one in a village near
the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of
Congo, and the other in a remote area of
Sudan.
The origin of the virus is unknown but fruit
bats (Pteropodidae) are considered the likely
host of the Ebola virus, based on available
evidence.
2. How do people become infected with the
virus?
In the current outbreak in West Africa, the
majority of cases in humans have occurred as
a result of human-to-human transmission.
Infection occurs from direct contact through
broken skin or mucous membranes with the
blood, or other bodily fluids or secretions
(stool, urine, saliva, semen) of infected people.
Infection can also occur if broken skin or
mucous membranes of a healthy person come
into contact with environments that have
become contaminated with an Ebola patient’s
infectious fluids such as soiled clothing, bed
linen, or used needles.
More than 100 health-care workers have been
exposed to the virus while caring for Ebola
patients. This happens because they may not
have been wearing personal protection
equipment or were not properly applying
infection prevention and control measures
when caring for the patients. Health-care
providers at all levels of the health system –
hospitals, clinics, and health posts – should
be briefed on the nature of the disease and
how it is transmitted, and strictly follow
recommended infection control precautions.
WHO does not advise families or communities
to care for individuals who may present with
symptoms of Ebola virus disease in their
homes. Rather, seek treatment in a hospital or
treatment centre staffed by doctors and nurses
qualified and equipped to treat Ebola virus
victims. If you do choose to care for your
loved one at home, WHO strongly advises you
to notify your local public health authority and
receive appropriate training, equipment
(gloves and personal protective equipment
[PPE]) for treatment, instructions on proper
removal and disposal of PPE, and information
on how to prevent further infection and
transmission of the disease to yourself, other
family members, or the community.
Additional transmission has occurred in
communities during funerals and burial
rituals. Burial ceremonies in which mourners
have direct contact with the body of the
deceased person have played a role in the
transmission of Ebola. Persons who have died
of Ebola must be handled using strong
protective clothing and gloves and must be
buried immediately. WHO advises that the
deceased be handled and buried by trained
case management professionals, who are
equipped to properly bury the dead.
People are infectious as long as their blood
and secretions contain the virus. For this
reason, infected patients receive close
monitoring from medical professionals and
receive laboratory tests to ensure the virus is
no longer circulating in their systems before
they return home. When the medical
professionals determine it is okay for the
patient to return home, they are no longer
infectious and cannot infect anyone else in
their communities. Men who have recovered
from the illness can still spread the virus to
their partner through their semen for up to 7
weeks after recovery. For this reason, it is
important for men to avoid sexual intercourse
for at least 7 weeks after recovery or to wear
condoms if having sexual intercourse during 7
weeks after recovery.
Generally, a person must come into contact
with an animal that has Ebola and it can then
spread within the community from human to
human.
3. Who is most at risk?
During an outbreak, those at higher risk of
infection are:
health workers;
family members or others in close contact
with infected people;
mourners who have direct contact with the
bodies of the deceased as part of burial
ceremonies.
More research is needed to understand if some
groups, such as immuno-compromised people
or those with other underlying health
conditions, are more susceptible than others
to contracting the virus.
Exposure to the virus can be controlled
through the use of protective measures in
clinics and hospitals, at community
gatherings, or at home.
4. What are typical signs and symptoms of
infection?
Sudden onset of fever, intense weakness,
muscle pain, headache and sore throat are
typical signs and symptoms. This is followed
by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, impaired kidney
and liver function, and in some cases, both
internal and external bleeding.
Laboratory findings include low white blood
cell and platelet counts, and elevated liver
enzymes.
The incubation period, or the time interval
from infection to onset of symptoms, is from 2
to 21 days. The patients become contagious
once they begin to show symptoms. They are
not contagious during the incubation period.
Ebola virus disease infections can only be
confirmed through laboratory testing.
5. When should someone seek medical care?
If a person has been in an area known to have
Ebola virus disease or in contact with a
person known or suspected to have Ebola and
they begin to have symptoms, they should
seek medical care immediately.
Any cases of persons who are suspected to
have the disease should be reported to the
nearest health unit without delay. Prompt
medical care is essential to improving the rate
of survival from the disease. It is also
important to control spread of the disease and
infection control procedures need to be started
immediately.
6. What is the treatment?
Severely ill patients require intensive
supportive care. They are frequently
dehydrated and need intravenous fluids or oral
rehydration with solutions that contain
electrolytes. There is currently no specific
treatment to cure the disease.
Some patients will recover with the
appropriate medical care.
To help control further spread of the virus,
people that are suspected or confirmed to
have the disease should be isolated from
other patients and treated by health workers
using strict infection control precautions.
7. What can I do? Can it be prevented? Is
there a vaccine?
Currently, there is no licensed medicine or
vaccine for Ebola virus disease, but several
products are under development.
Ways to prevent infection and transmission
While initial cases of Ebola virus disease are
contracted by handling infected animals or
carcasses, secondary cases occur by direct
contact with the bodily fluids of an ill person,
either through unsafe case management or
unsafe burial practices. During this outbreak,
most of the disease has spread through
human-to-human transmission. Several steps
can be taken to help in preventing infection
and limiting or stopping transmission.
Understand the nature of the disease, how it
is transmitted, and how to prevent it from
spreading further. (For additional
information, please see the previous
questions about Ebola virus disease in this
FAQ.)
Listen to and follow directives issued by
your country’s respective Ministry of Health.
If you suspect someone close to you or in
your community of having Ebola virus
disease, encourage and support them in
seeking appropriate medical treatment in a
health-care facility.
If you choose to care for an ill person in
your home, notify public health officials of
your intentions so they can train you and
provide appropriate gloves and personal
protective equipment (PPE) (gloves,
impermeable gown, boots/closed shoes with
overshoes, mask and eye protection for
splashes), as well as instructions as a
reminder on how to properly care for the
patient, protect yourself and your family,
and properly dispose of the PPE after use.
N.B. WHO does not recommend home care
and strongly advises individuals and their
family members to seek professional care in
a treatment centre.
When visiting patients in the hospital or
caring for someone at home, hand washing
with soap and water is recommended after
touching a patient, being in contact with
their bodily fluids, or touching his/her
surroundings.
People who have died from Ebola should
only be handled using appropriate
protective equipment and should be buried
immediately by public health professionals
who are trained in safe burial procedures.
Additionally, individuals should reduce contact
with high-risk infected animals (i.e. fruit bats,
monkeys or apes) in the affected rainforest
areas. If you suspect an animal is infected, do
not handle it. Animal products (blood and
meat) should be thoroughly cooked before
eating.
8. What about health workers? How should
they protect themselves while caring for
patients?
Health workers treating patients with
suspected or confirmed illness are at higher
risk of infection than other groups. During an
outbreak a number of important actions will
reduce or stop the spread of the virus and
protect health workers and others in the
health-care setting. These actions are called
“standard and other additional precautions”
and are evidence-based recommendations
known to prevent the spread of infections. The
following questions and answers describe the
precautions in detail.
Should patients with suspected or confirmed
Ebola virus be separated from other patients?
Isolating patients with suspected or confirmed
Ebola virus disease in single isolation rooms
is recommended. Where isolation rooms are
not available, it is important to assign
designated areas, separate from other
patients, for suspected and confirmed cases.
In these designated areas, suspect and
confirmed cases should also be separate.
Access to these areas should be restricted,
needed equipment should be dedicated strictly
to suspected and confirmed EVD treatment
areas, and clinical and non-clinical personnel
should be exclusively assigned to isolation
rooms and dedicated areas.
Are visitors allowed in areas where patients
suspected or confirmed Ebola virus disease are
admitted?
Stopping visitor access to patients infected
with EVD is preferred. If this is not possible,
access should be given only to those
individuals who are necessary for the patient’s
well-being and care, such as a child’s parent.
Is protective equipment required when caring
for these patients?
In addition to standard health-care
precautions, health-care workers should
strictly apply recommended infection control
measures to avoid exposure to infected
blood, fluids, or contaminated environments
or objects – such as a patient’s soiled linen
or used needles.
All visitors and health-care workers should
rigorously use what is known as personal
protective equipment (PPE). PPE should
include at least: gloves, an impermeable
gown, boots/closed shoes with overshoes, a
mask, and eye protection for splashes
(goggles or face shields).
Is hand hygiene important?
Hand hygiene is essential and should be
performed:
before donning gloves and wearing PPE on
entry to the isolation room/area;
before any clean or aseptic procedures is
being performed on a patient;
after any exposure risk or actual exposure
with a patient’s blood or body fluids;
after touching (even potentially)
contaminated surfaces, items, or equipment
in the patient’s surroundings; and
after removal of PPE, upon leaving the
isolation area.
It is important to note that neglecting to
perform hand hygiene after removing PPE will
reduce or negate any benefits of the PPE.
Either an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and
running water can be used for hand hygiene,
applying the correct technique recommended
by WHO. It is important to always perform
hand hygiene with soap and running water
when hands are visibly soiled. Alcohol-based
hand rubs should be made available at every
point of care (at the entrance and within the
isolation rooms and areas); running water,
soap, and single use towels should also be
always available.
What other precautions are necessary in the
health-care setting?
Other key precautions are safe injection and
phlebotomy procedures, including safe
management of sharps, regular and rigorous
environmental cleaning, decontamination of
surfaces and equipment, and management of
soiled linen and of waste.
In addition, it is important to ensure safe
processing of laboratory samples from
suspected or confirmed patients with EDV and
safe handling of dead bodies or human
remains for post-mortem examination and
burial preparation. Any health-care workers
and other professionals undertaking these
tasks in connection with suspected or
confirmed patients with Ebola virus disease
should wear appropriate PPE and follow
precautions and procedures recommended by
WHO.
9. What about rumours that some foods can
prevent or treat the infection?
WHO strongly recommends that people seek
credible health advice about Ebola virus
disease from their public health authority.
While there is no specific drug against Ebola,
the best treatment is intensive supportive
treatment provided in the hospital by health
workers using strict infection control
procedures. The infection can be controlled
through recommended protective measures.
10. How does WHO protect health during
outbreaks?
WHO provides technical advice to countries
and communities to prepare for and respond
to Ebola outbreaks.
WHO actions include:
disease surveillance and information-
sharing across regions to watch for
outbreaks;
technical assistance to investigate and
contain health threats when they occur –
such as on-site help to identify sick people
and track disease patterns;
advice on prevention and treatment options;
deployments of experts and the distribution
of health supplies (such as personal
protection gear for health workers) when
they are requested by the country;
communications to raise awareness of the
nature of the disease and protective health
measures to control transmission of the
virus; and
activation of regional and global networks
of experts to provide assistance, if
requested, and mitigate potential
international health effects and disruptions
of travel and trade.
11. During an outbreak, numbers of cases
reported by health officials can go up and
down? Why?
During an Ebola outbreak, the affected
country’s public health authority reports its
disease case numbers and deaths. Figures can
change daily. Case numbers reflect both
suspected cases and laboratory-confirmed
cases of Ebola. Sometimes numbers of
suspected and confirmed cases are reported
together. Sometimes they are reported
separately. Thus, numbers can shift between
suspected and confirmed cases.
Analyzing case data trends, over time, and
with additional information, is generally more
helpful to assess the public health situation
and determine the appropriate response.
12. Is it safe to travel during an outbreak?
What is WHO’s travel advice?
During an outbreak, WHO reviews the public
health situation regularly and recommends
any travel or trade restrictions, if necessary,
and may inform national authorities to
implement it. WHO is currently reviewing its
recommendations for travel and expects toeeee
issue advice in the coming days.
While travellers should always be vigilant with
regard to their health and those around them,
the risk of infection for travellers is very low
since person-to-person transmission results
from direct contact with the body fluids or
secretions of an infected patient.
Is it safe to travel with persons who have
Ebola?
As with any illness or disease, it is always
possible that a person who has been exposed
to Ebola virus may choose to travel. If the
individual has not developed symptoms (see
FAQ #4), they cannot transmit EVD to those
around them. If the individual does have
symptoms, they should seek immediate
medical attention at the first sign they are
feeling unwell. This may require either
notifying the flight crew or ship crew or, upon
arrival at a destination, seeking immediate
medical attention. Travellers who show initial
symptoms of EVD should be isolated to
prevent further transmission. Although the risk
to fellow travellers in such a situation is very
low, contact tracing is recommended under
these circumstances.
Is it safe to travel to West Africa on business
or to visit family and friends?
The risk of a tourist or businessman/woman
becoming infected with Ebola virus during a
visit to the affected areas and developing
disease after returning is extremely low, even if
the visit included travel to the local areas
from which primary cases have been reported.
Transmission requires direct contact with
blood, secretions, organs or other body fluids:-P
of infected living or dead persons or animal,
all of which are unlikely exposures for the
average traveller. In any event, tourists are
advised to avoid all such contacts.
If you are visiting family or friends in the
affected areas, the risk is similarly low, unless
you have direct physical contact with a person
who is ill or who has died. If this is the case,
it is important to notify public health
authorities and engage in contact tracing.
Contact tracing is used to confirm you have
not been exposed to EVD and to prevent
further spread of the disease through
monitoring.
WHO’s general travel advice
Travelers should avoid all contact with
infected patients.
Health workers traveling to affected areas
should strictly follow WHO-recommended
infection control guidance.
Anyone who has stayed in areas where
cases were recently reported should be
aware of the symptoms of infection and seek
medical attention at the first sign of illness.
Clinicians caring for travelers returning from
affected areas with compatible symptoms
are advised to consider the possibility of
Ebola virus disease.

If you have passed any ICAN paper before, just be kind enough to share your success tips with us. Am writing FA & MA, and I need advice.

How did you answer you questions to warrant a pass. For instance, I do divide my answer sheets into two & use the right hand side for rough work with the title "ROUGH WORK" on top of the page (in my obj & short answer). Is that advisable or I should just write the answer direct?
Or should I show the working (in the main answer) before picking the option?

Pls help with any advice. I dont want to fail again.

Just on a lighter note, but serious:

If every man should go for the beautiful girls, who will marry 'the not too beautiful ones?

The fact remains that 'the not so beautiful ones' are always inwardly more beautiful. So dont just write off sb cos of looks!

doris4u: Talkn abt already made man.In a situatn u stay wit a guy wen he has nothn,encouraging him in watever he's doing 4 several years nd enventually turns his back on u wen he's made 4 no reason.wat do u do by then?do u mean we shld stil wait 4 another guy 2 treat us dat way just 2 get married?

That's the same thing that happen to guys that spend their hard earned money to train their girls in sch or even establish them in biz, only to get dumped without any justifiable reason!

Am not trying to justify this height of wickedness. But we shd all use our conscience. Don't do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you!

jmoore: @op, is this your final year project?

lol. Guy, I've finished my NYSC already o. It's just for us to learn & change for the better.

mondi_cheeks: Its becos the guys want to pay N50 as bride price and expect the woman to cook 5 star restaurant meals and somersault in bed

Pls dear, don't get me wrong here. Am not saying peanut shd be fixed for a bride price. The fact is that some tribes & some families are taking this thing too far. It's pure greed. All fingers are not equall. The mere fact that 'A' paid N5 million for a bride price doesn't mean B must do like wise.

Personally, am a very good cook. I took 5 star meals. But it'll surprise you to know that some of our girls don't even know how to cook! I've seen many of them. All that they know is going round the eatries, but tell them to prepare that same thing in the house, & you'll be ashamed. And I don't support pre-marital sex either.
Our girls, you need to work on yourselves, skill wise. It's not all about polishing & packaging the outside, you must work on the inside too.
