The ministry of health should do something before it gets out of hand. The awareness should be all over the country by now.

This statement is akin to calling on our ancestors to intervene in a family dispute.
In my earlier post, I asserted that the FMoH is drop dead clueless on how to handle this issue.
When the rains begin up north, we would see the true picture of this epidemic.

Exactly

Share this news with everyone around you please

Things are getting out of hand

Lalasticlala, is it that you are not aware that 2 people have been allegedly killed by meningitis in Lagos?

Has it entered Lagos? The dullard should release funds for the vaccine.

Ministry of health over to you.

hardship......deaths, Nigerians will never forget #2015change.

How do we protect ourselves from this? Read my signature.

Thanks

Kk.. The north is leading as usual..... That number is enough they should tackle it by been proactive before it goes out of hand ooh

But Onyebuchi Chukwu during GEJ tenure handled the Ebola issue very well. PMB and APC are very confused!

This administration is worse than a failure.

Please what are the symptons of this meningitis?

Really pathetic. Death toll has climbed to over 400 and one uncircumcised idiot is blaming fornication.

Quite clear they have all run our of whom to blame, it would about 40 years to rewrite the wrong that incompetent lunatic plunged us in2.

Nb: the height of hypocrisy is when you insult those that support James Ibori and then turn around to hail Jabagban (Ahmed Tinubu) my brother your case is currently loading in Cossy's boobs.

Our health system should rise to the occasion.

Evidence of poor management.
It pains me that the more are mostly affected unlike Ebola.

The feds waiting for it to hit 500 before they start.

What location or LGA in lagos did this occur so that Lagosians and visitors alike can be vigilant....

REPORT ANY SUSPECTED MENINGITIS CASE

Keep rooms well ventilated, avoid overcrowding, and keep well hydrated.

God will heal us, Amen.

Ordinary meningitis, this APC people cannot handle.
Thank God they were not in charge during the Ebola menace.

it has gotten out of hand which is why they tagged it "as an outbreak". In this part of the world, we tend to allow problems come in full force before we tackle them. Meningitis could be prevented via biannual vaccination, but trust Naija, we no dey carry last

Zamfara has recorded the most death.
