I vote for Jennimma

As in...dis chick is not from Imo state? Its realy terrifying nd I must say she's a wonderful actress. Ada mbano is one hilarious movie I will recomend for anyone to see

Those guys are realy talented and hardworking. I used 2 visit Aba during my uni days and d truth is dat,there's nothing of any quality dat u cannot find in there...but they should aim at projecting their own brand instead of using other designer's name. BTW,70% of Nigerians uses Aba made products unknwowing to them.

This is a ridiculous idea. You can't just use people's lives to try out a drug whose manufacturer no one knows and whose side effects no one knows. Why not volunteer one of your family members to try this nanosilver scam[By the time you become a victim of this virus then u will know that anything is worth trying. We keep allowing other nation to lead us by discouraging those who are willing to look for solution to this deadly virus. All they are saying is that they will experiment Nino Silver first on animal before using it on human. Be smart please]

There are 36 states in Nigeria plus FCT and lagos is just one of them...so,they can simply test it in other people in other states and ignore lagos. There's no harm in trial. How can u reject an option given to a dying person to live when u don't ve any one other than isolating them to die. Please I beg politician in the name of God to stop playing politics with people's life

[Dis was exactly what I was arguing with my colleague yesterday. There's more to this Ebola that the media is not telling us. How can one explain that 21 people got infected in a bus without any physical contact and just because they entered the same bus with the 'Ebola Nurse'. To be honest,I am totally confused and scared. I wish Nigerians were careful enough not to allow the said patrick in our country]

Right now in West Africa the worst Ebola outbreak in history is in full swing and is jumping borders at an alarming rate. Already it has spread to four countries, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and now Nigeria. This latest jump into Nigeria is particularly serious since the infected individual carried the virus by plane to Lagos Nigeria, a city with a population of over 21 million. Doctors without borders has referred to the outbreak as "out of control".

To make matters worse, there is something very, very important that the corporate media and public health officials are not telling you regarding this crisis.

You'll notice if you read virtually any mainstream article on the topic that they make a point of insisting that Ebola is only transferred by physical contact with bodily fluids. This is not true, at all.

A study conducted in 2012 showed that Ebola was able to travel between pigs and monkeys that were in separate cages and were never placed in direct contact.

Though the method of transmission in the study was not officially determined, one of the scientists involved, Dr. Gary Kobinger, from the National Microbiology Laboratory at the Public Health Agency of Canada, told BBC News that he believed that the infection was spread through large droplets that were suspended in the air.
"What we suspect is happening is large droplets; they can stay in the air, but not long; they don't go far," he explained. "But they can be absorbed in the airway, and this is how the infection starts, and this is what we think, because we saw a lot of evidence in the lungs of the non-human primates that the virus got in that way."

Translation: Ebola IS an airborne virus.

UPDATE: Someone pointed out that in medical terms, if the virus is transferred through tiny droplets in the air this would technically not be called an "airborne virus". Airborne, in medical terms would mean that the virus has the ability to stay alive without a liquid carrier. On one hand this is a question of semantics, and the point is well taken, but keep in mind that the study did not officially determine how the virus traveled through the air, it merely established that it does travel through the air. Doctor Kobinger's hypothesis regarding droplets of liquid is just that, a hypothesis. For the average person however what needs to be understood is very simple: if you are in a room with someone infected with Ebola, you are not safe, even if you never touch them or their bodily fluids, and this is not what you are being told by the mainstream media. Essentially I am using the word "airborne" as a layman term (which kind of makes sense, since I am a layman in this field).

Now I'm not going to speculate as to whether these so called "journalist" and public health agencies who keep repeating the official line regarding the means of transmission are lying, or are just participating in some massive display of synchronized incompetence, but what I will say, is that this shoddy reporting is most likely getting people killed right now, and may in fact put all of humanity in danger.

How so?

By convincing people that the virus cannot travel through air, important precautions that could reduce the spread of the virus are not being taken. For example the other passengers on the plane that traveled to Lagos, Nigeria were not quarantined.

[UPDATE August 6th]: According to the AP and the BBC, Patrick Sawyer, the Ebola infected man who traveled to Lagos Nigeria by plane, passed the disease on to eight health workers before being properly isolated.

Nigerian health authorities acknowledged Tuesday that they did not immediately quarantine a sick airline passenger who later died of Ebola, announcing that eight health workers who had direct contact with him were now in isolation with symptoms of the disease.

In spite of the seriousness of this disease, and in spite of the fact the fact that the BBC itself covered a study in 2012 that demonstrated that Ebola can spread through the air, no one in the corporate media has budged from the official line regarding transmission.

The AP's spin on it:
Experts say people infected with Ebola can spread the disease only through their bodily fluids and after they show symptoms.

From CNN:
Ebola spreads through contact with organs and bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions of infected people.

And from the BBC itself in their article describing the second confirmed case in Nigeria:
The virus spreads by contact with infected blood and bodily fluids - and touching the body of someone who has died of Ebola is particularly dangerous.

To put this into context, Ebola kills between 50% and 90% of its victims, so the stakes are very, very high here.

NOTE: We have reported on the fact that Ebola can spread through the air in three separate articles since March of 2014, here, here and here, however the corporate media has continued to misrepresent the vectors of transmission.

This particular strain of Ebola is not Ebola Zaire. This is a new strain, and it may in fact be more dangerous than the Zaire variety. Not because of any difference in the symptoms (the symptoms are identical), but because this new virus seems to be harder to contain. Whether this is due to some characteristic of the virus itself or merely dumb luck is uncertain at this time, but the rate at which this outbreak has extended its range is unprecedented.

According to the CDC this virus is genetically 97% similar to the Zaire strain. However if you are interested in this virus' phylogenetic relationship (genetic lineage) to the Zaire strain you should look read "Phylogenetic Analysis of Guinea 2014 EBOV Ebolavirus Outbreak" on plos.org.

Another study by the New England Journal of medicine (this was the one referenced by the CDC) specifically names the parts of the genetic code which differ:

The three sequences, each 18,959 nucleotides in length, were identical with the exception of a few polymorphisms at positions 2124 (G→A, synonymous), 2185 (A→G, NP552 glycine→glutamic acid), 2931 (A→G, synonymous), 4340 (C→T, synonymous), 6909 (A→T, sGP291 arginine→tryptophan), and 9923 (T→C, synonymous).

Note that there doesn't yet seem to be a consensus as to what this new strain is called. One study referred to it as "Guinean EBOV", another as "Guinea 2014 EBOV Ebolavirus" and others are still referring to it as Zaire. Given that we can specifically name the points where the virus has mutated, using the old name is misleading.

Right now the question on everyone's minds is whether this virus will spread outside of Africa. Considering the fact that Ebola has a three week incubation period, can travel through the air, and has already hitchhiked onto an international flight, this is a very real possibility. There are some that are downplaying the probability of this outcome, and to be honest, I hope that they are right, but the simple fact of the matter is that these people are basing their assessment on the faulty premise that Ebola is not an airborne virus.

Now the first thing you might be feeling when looking at this situation is a sense of fear and helplessness, and while that's a perfectly normal reaction it's really not helpful. Instead we should be thinking in terms of practical steps we can take to influence the outcome.

One thing we can all do is to start confronting journalists and public officials who keep making false statements regarding the way Ebola spreads. Use the links to the original study, the BBC report from 2012 and this video to put them in their place.

We also need to confront the fact that there isn't a full out, coordinated, international effort to contain this. This is being treated like a sideshow but it has the very real potential to become a main event.

The doctors on the ground in West Africa don't have enough staff or resources to deal with this situation. It is absolutely inexcusable for the U.S. and the E.U. to be investing billions of tax payer dollars into their little power games in Ukraine and Syria (which are both in the process of escalating right now by the way) while Ebola is getting a foothold in Africa. Every available resource should be shifted to West Africa in order to contain and extinguish this epidemic right now.



Why is this random air travel more dangerous?

Because if it gets in when people aren't looking, it can spread before containment measures are put into place.

P.S. If you want to learn more about Ebola I highly recommend that you read "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston.

What does that mean ,saying this is Nigeria ?

So this is Nigeria and people should remain in abject nonentity when its eligible minds like you as you claim that should bring to the society a healthy change are flowing with this unhealthy trend and scoping men off ?

"The Average Naija Man" differs in characteristics and understanding relatively to the Nigerian People and so if you say the average 9ja man,let it be to your own perspective of his traits. I don't buy to this whole bullock of a talk, did you actually read my posts on this thread,starting from the first to this which you ignorantly chose to quote ? I doubt it.

Firstly,I don't think anyone should acquaint him or her self with someone from a different idiosyncrasy,especially when it comes to courtship/relationship, move with people in same social-likeness and status. So your issue of average 9ja men are comfortable with pest they can control is totally flawed,are the vast and numerous threads on Nairaland about money-hungry girls solely by below average ,average or above average men ?

The issue of it should start with men is another nonsense I choose to ignore because by my last post before this now,I cleared it,so bringing this as a pointer is what you'd have to explain better for me to counter.

. Yes! The issue should be discussed starting from the guys becaues they re d ones who instigated this whole thing...wen a guy is going after a good looking nd "comfortable" girl without making any attempt to find out what d girl does for a living or which family she came out from,what does he expect? I dnt encourage a girl to be dependent on a man buh my point is...a guy shud at least find out a little abt a girl b4 asking her out. That way,all dis things wii be checked...infact,m not going 2 join issues with u. Its either u address d issue d way it is or u keep dreaming.

~PreciousBro~:


You are correct.

A nation where you have people bathed with insecurity traits from a fundamental state to its roof stage, mentality such as I must have the best out of nothing(that includes no hard work input and lack of mental development), surely you don't expect the weaker vessel in that said failed society to belong to the pedestal of providers,they would rather feast/pest from the actual providers(male). In any slightest opportunity and manipulate whatever jargons to term it right.

A Nation where you have majority of its females striving on this mentality and mind-set for survival than the minority that know what being Independent is in actuality, my dear its safe to generalize that Nigerian women are gold-digging money-leeching prostitutes in this contemporary era.

You even see them on here defending it,trying so hard to make it a norm rather than eradicating the pest-like mind-set.

Shameful to say the least,I tell you.

. U might be right here buh lemme quickly remind u dat dis is Nigeria nd some tinz dnt jst work out here...I remember wen my sis wanted 2 buy a car with her hard earned money buh my mum protested saying dat men dnt like it wen a young girl live big. D fact is dat a typical 9ja guy finds it threatning wen a young girl is living comfortable. They re comfortable wif d ones ey can manipulate nd dat I'd d ones u called pest. So,if u re talking of eradicating any norm,it shud start from d guys,dat way,pple will learn nd move on

kadas-01:
Both (greed and poverty)! I still believe the average Nigerian girl needs to be empowered so as to help erase this retrogressive mentality that many of them posses presently! If this can be achieved, our society would be a better place!

that is not d point. If my guy is financialy balance nd he's not spending on me,its either he's stingy or he's spending it on another woman.simple...so dnt get it twisted,it didn't start from us nd Will not end from Us not because we're lazy or we cnt afford d luxury buh becaue a man must be a man unlesss he's not financialy balance

My frnd stop bn stingy nd do what u re suppose to do as a man. Be realistic,this is 9ja wr guys always want 2 act like d king..."To be a man isn't a day job"(flavour)lolz...buh like serzly I feel loved wen a man spend on me even though I can afford to buy myself anyfin I want... So 4 me,is not a question of greed or poverty.

Simple...wen u meet a man,let him understand thr re a lot of tinz u can offer him apart from sex. Get close to God,let him understand u ve a working r/ship wif God nd try not to be a boring fellow. Let him understnd dat even tho u love him he is replacable, dnt be deperate...most times,d pple u dnt agree with are d ones dat love u most.
