Breaking: Nigeria Confirms Ebola Case In Abuja, Begins Contact Tracing by Kalashnikov49(op): 7:12pm On Oct 20
Nigeria is on high alert after the federal government confirmed one case of Ebola disease in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026.

The patient, a woman who recently arrived in Nigeria on an international flight from Uganda, is currently in isolation and receiving medical care at a private hospital in the FCT, according to a statement signed by the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate.

Contact tracing has commenced, with 44 close contacts identified so far, according to the statement. The contacts include healthcare workers, patients, caregivers and travel contacts, while public health teams are identifying and monitoring people who may have been exposed.

“The FG calls on all public and private healthcare facilities nationwide to be on high alert. Healthcare workers must maintain a high index of suspicion, promptly identify and isolate suspected cases, observe strict infection prevention and control measures, and immediately report suspected cases to public health authorities,” it noted.

No elections right? Or there would be a massive revolution because its OBVIOUS TINUBU will fail in containing it.

What do you think?

Exactly! Either 'no elections' is declared and the people revolt massively making the government to declare a state of emergency, which is plan A. Or election is allowed with 'restricted' and 'quarantined' conditions which will eventually lead to election fraud, and then the masses either revolt in anarchy which will lead to 'state of emergency' declaration or they revolt by contesting the result in 'court' (depending how much they are being swayed by the agents of the elites). And we all know how long the 'court case' will last and what will be the result and we even know who will remain there pending the result of the 'court case'
Either way, it's a win-win for the G I's and their puppets.

hahaha. But there's a funny thing in 'nigeria's' situation. The way 'nigeria' was set-up the Igbo are not supposed to come near the corridors of power because during the colonial era the three major ethnic group were observed and surveyed and they discovered that the Igbo are the sole stumblingblock to the realization of their interest in the Niger area. This why they had to pit the Igbo and the Yoruba against each other, while they concentrated power in the North. But not in the hands of the Hausas, but in the hands of the Fulani's. So The Fulani ruled 'nigeria' on behalf of the G I's, the Hausas were the hands ( army) just like in the colonial era, the Yoruba's were the brains ( counsellors) just like in the colonial era. The Igbo's were the traders (subjects) whose taxes funded the government and by extension the Imperial overlords. The arrangement was made that way because they needed a people with a subservient spirit and mentality to run 'nigeria' . The Fula's were subservient to Islam, the Hausa's were subservient to Islam, the Yoruba's subservient to ATR. But the Igbo though spiritual, does not let religion get in the way of progress and development. So the Igbo is subservient to none. And if the Igbo is given the power, which naturally should have been done in order to rapidly develop and modernize the nation, it's as good as losing all their investments and interests in 'nigeria' for the Igbo having witnessed and experienced the real intentions of the Imperialists firsthand and through the hard way during the precolonial era, and also being a people naturally subservient to no one, will not hesitate to throw off the yoke from off 'nigeria's' back freeing 'nigeria' and by extension Africa from the shackles of Imperialism. Either that or create a situation where the Igbo and other igboid groups can exist independent of 'nigeria' and by extension freeing and separating themselves from the Imperial grip, that's if option A is not attainable. And we all know what that means when we are talking about a people sitting on 2/3 of 'nigeria's' resources. Now it will come as a shock to 'nigerians' that the civil war was a CIA/ Mossad/KGB/MI5/DGSE affair. Aguiyi was picked solely to create an excuse to permanently separate Igbo from power and keep them at bay by making them pariahs in 'nigeria' , and it worked, still working. Obi might be a second Aguiyi Ironsi. Now the reason I'm sketching this is that: 1. An Igbo man/woman ruling 'nigeria' is against the interest of the G I's as it's tantamount to losing their hold on their interests in 'nigeria'. 2. Should it happen that an Igbo is picked to rule 'nigeria', then either it's to recreate another excuse or reason to further subjugate and alienate the Igbo from power or the 'nigeria' project is finished meaning 'nigeria' is no longer viable and there are now greater interests which no longer need the existence of 'nigeria'.
So simply put, if Tinubu or Atiku gets to seat there, then its business as usual. But if Obi gets to seat there then it's either business as usual where history is about to repeat itself or the business center called 'nigeria' is officially shut down. Then there's someone from the North and some one from the West who are another sets of option - Socialist option. If any of these ones get to seat there, then 'nigeria' will have a new map .
So if you understand this, you'll see that this is beyond what is seen, felt or known at the surface level of 'nigeria's' affairs.
