Nigeria on Alert for Swine Flu[/size]
By Gilbert da Costa
Abuja
28 April 2009


Nigerian health authorities are on full alert to watch out for possible cases of swine flu in Africa's most populous nation. (How?). The government has set up a committee to monitor the situation and co-ordinate with the World Health Organization.

No case of swine flu has been reported in Nigeria, but the country has joined the race to contain the deadly outbreak of the influenza virus.

Health Minister Babatunde Osotimehin says Nigeria is focused on early detection and response in an attempt to check a possible outbreak in the country.

"As we speak, there is no known case of swine flu in Nigeria," said Osotimehin. "But we are not going to wait for it to occur before we take adequate steps. We have constituted a committee that is putting surveillance in place to detect cases if they occur."

The virus is blamed for more than 150 deaths in Mexico. In at least 10 other countries, there have been confirmed or suspected cases, none of them fatal. Several countries are investigating suspected cases.

The World Health Organization called for all nations to "intensify surveillance." The health minister says Nigeria has placed its ports on high alert.

"An alert has gone out to our colleagues at the airports and seaports to look out for this because they will have to come from abroad, since we do not have any case in this country at this point in time," said Osotimehin.

Swine flu is caused by a virus similar to a flu virus that infects people every year, but it is a strain typically found only in pigs, or in people who have direct contact with pigs.

Serious concerns have been expressed about Africa's capacity to deal with a pandemic, given the poor state of health infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria is still grappling with a bird-flu outbreak, years after it was first detected.

You need to change your mindset babe Naija babes can smell you abroadians(sic) a mile away, so If a meal ticket/gateway to paradise ^{which you are} comes my way too, I'd kneel down to serve your food and even feed you on my knees sef

How many times do we hear stories of a man going back home to bring his wife abroad only for the girl to walk out on discovering that the husband lives in a room in flat, or has a job which they think is beneath them or . . .

Kobojunkie:

@Xavier, you have yet to answer the question I asked you from the start of this thread.

What did "Dora the explorer" actually say that got you all riled up? What inhumane statement did she make that has you wanting her head in all this? What is it? Did she curse Adebayo's mother? Did she say Adebayo slept with Yar adua or something? What exactly was it??

I dont know why una dey drag this issue in all directions, to the extent that[b] i'm now recieving hate text messages[/b]

@The One,

You were correct. NNPC, DPR,Customs & Reps of the oil companies are represented during loading and the metering skid s are calibrated more like a monthly basis. That report can not be entirely correct.

You dont even need to know her whereabouts, just call her and listen to her tone, if she's with someone, u will surely know. . . If she doesn't answer the phone, and the trend continues over a period, a trend that never existed before. . .

Depends on the guy's experience with relationships and his IQ levels. I have seen the red light from a mile in every single relationship i've had, if u know your girl, the signs cannot be hidden.
Funny enough, sometimes, the girls tell u about this new guy, describing him as a friend or something, they do this in a bid to reduce your suspicion when u hear or notice funny things. . .  I do my thing with both eyes open, i analyze and re-analyze every single statement and action she exhibits. . .  The signs cannot be hidden, not from guys who know. Sometimes it is good to act the fool while u gather your facts, but u always have that knowledge in the back of your mind that the inevitable affects every aspect of life, including relationships.

whitelexi:

@tboy1, i have a 100% record at that

whitelexi link=topic=266573.msg3791317#msg3791317 date=1240917572:


I think you just flirt with the girls and call it relationship.


Maybe its a gift then, but i always know. . . something changes very slightly, and that makes me switch into alert mode

@ whitelexi
You can never catch a cheating lady unless she slips up or decides to tell you

hollandis:

SIMPLE!!!
If she turns her phone off for more than 6hours,and then she gives a cock and bull story for doing so.Then she was prolly somewhere banging or being banged

whitelexi:

You dont need tips, u only need to know your girl - the signs cannot be hidden.

jack tweed:

You guys dont get it?

A rape victim is just as bad as the rapist. They are both disgusting. You cant stand both of them. They are irritating to the core and you need be someone that has to get away from both of them fast!

Whether i have 30 girls as children and 44 wives, once they have been raped, they no longer become a part of the family, because i cant stand them and there is no need to be moralistic and sympathetic. They were foolish enough to get raped and thats their wahala. I dont even know he difference between rape and prostitution? Maybe the rapists should be dropping some spare change after they have had their fun but the end product is that they are all disgusting to be around with.

Then again, how will i know Dont have a sister, not close one bit with my female cousins, i dont give a damn about the lifestyle of my exes or worry about such emotional crap about them, so it doesnt bother me and i dont see how it will affect me.

Yes i remember i once had this chick that i was this close to dating and before you knew it, she started telling me about her almost "rape incident" in University and how she was lucky to survive it. The moment i heard the synopsis of the story, i knew we would never go out for nothing. All of a sudden, she looked so ugly, revolting and disgusting to me. Imagine someone pukes bile and blood on you, ewwww!! thats how i imagined her from that day. Immediately i stopped calling and walked out of her life. I was glad i dated a rape free chick afterwards!!!

Men follow my advise and dont fall for the dregs of the society aka the raped ones. Go for the clean fresh non raped chicks. Your lives will be much happier!
