Ghana Bans Flights From Nigeria, Sierra Leone, And Liberia Over Ebola

Ghana has officially banned flights from four West African countries, citing concerns about the rapid spread of the Ebola virus, which has claimed over 600 lives.

Charles Asare, Managing Director of the Ghana Airport Company, said the measure was part of a set of emergency management plans officials are rolling out to combat the spread of the virus. The affected countries include Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria.

The government there has also implemented strict restrictions on the movement and management of Liberian refugees in camps in the country.

Health Minister, Kwaku Agyeman-Mensah, urged Ghanaians to bear with the government as they work to contain the virus.

"Preparedness is not an event but a process," he said.

Catastrophy in the air

Them sef deh fear

lol.. ghanians know wan die.

Lol. This is hilarious. The fear of Ebola is ... I think this is extreme though.

A case of killing a fly with a sledge hammer. Its totally unwarranted given the disease profile in Nigeria. Let's see how long they can keep up the charade

Seriously..? What about the Bus route..?

Why ban Nigeria when there is not a serious case of Ebola here?

Do mosquitoes transfer the virus?

Prevention is better than cure

Na by flight? Ebola uses all means of transportation. Benin republic has over 2 million Nigerians who stay there, what will they make of this, will they also ban flight coming in from there?

Thank God!

But last I checked, there is no outbreak of Ebola in Nigeria apart from the Liberian man who initially brought it here and died. They finally had the excuse they needed. Lol!!!

may God prevent anything like ebola in my life and my families life in Jesus name. Amen!


Last bullet------> Thank God i made front-page-comment,

Our so called govt has not seen the need to ban all flights from west africa.

Our borders should be closed asap.

So Nigeria has joined the dreaded ebola nations?
