LastProphet:


YOU HAVE SAID EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY ALL THESE WHILE. YOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL DIRECTLY ON THE HEAD. A COUNTRY OF IGNORANT BUT POMPOUS CITIZENS, A COUNTRY WHERE ONE GOODLUCK THAT OBVIOUSLY KNEW NOTHING AND DISPLAYED IT EVEN DURING CAMPAIGN CAN BE PRESIDENT. A COUNTRY WHERE EVERYBODY LIKES TO 'MAINTAIN' SO THAT HIS NEIGHBOR WILL THINK HE IS BETTER THAN HE ACTUALLY IS. A COUNTRY WHERE AN OBVIOUSLY FALSE DOCTRINE WILL TAKE ROOT AND BECOME A GLOBAL ENTERPRISE. A COUNTRY WHERE A CIVIL SERVANT WILL STEAL FROM THE PUBLIC AND YET REFUSE TO LEAVE THE CHURCH OR MOSQUE. A HOPELESS COUNTRY.

WHERE ARE THOSE INSULTING AMERICANS ALL THESE WHILE? WHERE IS ROSSIK OR ONE LAME NAIRALANDER WHO CLAIMS BLACKS ARE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN WHITES? WHERE ARE THEY? SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. WHEN WE USE ALL OUR TIME FOR NAMIMG CEREMONIES, MARRYING THE MOST PRETTY GIRL, TURN THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN IF WE DONT GIVE BIRTH TO KIDS, AND KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES, THEN HOW DO WE HOPE TO KNOW ANYTHING? ONCE MORE IT IS TIME TO LOOK TO THE WHITES FOR SALVATION!

Pesuzok:

yes we have to keep trying.

How long can the virus survive outside a living body?

onatisi: neither do I live in nigeria too. But u know that symptoms of this infection doesn't show until maybe after 2 weeks?now before the symptoms finally manifests how will one detect someone that has it? We are discussing and this isn't an argument .I am just trying to buttress my first comment on this thread on the need to involve local traditional healers and the need for nigeria to look inward for a cure without waiting for western powers

Rendition: to help u both its bin said dat d incubation state of d disease in a victims body is not transmittable until he or she starts showing prone symptoms so one wud knw wen somone around u has d dreadful virus

RedBenson:

And dont forget the gloves you are talking about here, you cant use same twice or else, you still stand a risk of getting infected. One glove at every touch and that glove must be discarded by burning immediately. It's not an easy task as you can see. No absolute sure way of preventing this ebola of a thing. We can only try our best. Patrick Sawyer, may we not curse you for bringing us this destructive gift.

cirmuell: also the best type of gloves to use is disposable latex gloves, washing and reusing the conventional gloves os not advisable.

Heamah:

Good one there but unfortunately you don't know who an infectious victim is. One could sit beside him in a bus, sit on the spot he just stood up, collect from him a naira note he has been keeping in the pocket or some other materials that are exchanged daily , buy bread and some other materials he just helped in packing where he is working, collect money from an ATM he just loaded, buy some foodstuff from him in the market which he measures with hands etc. The best way of controlling this disease is by ensuring that those "suspects" are strictly monitored otherwise.....God save Nigeria!

kingthreat:

Your statement stinks of intense ignorance

Reference:

And many Nigerians will lie to their convenience, not only Sawyer. They will lie at the ports of entry. They will lie to avoid quarantine. They will lie out of desperation to get treatment. This is a big problem. That is why I told a doctor recently that EVERY clinic and hospital MUST prepare to screen EVERYONE that walks through its gates BEFORE admitting them for consultation even emergencies. They must all begin to build containment facilities and begin to set aside funds for full bio-protection kits.

Till date and even in this report no one has been able to document and determine how these medical personel catch this virus even when most of them were experienced and some fully protected. If the situation is just touch and go then there is real trouble. My advice in view of this lacuna:

The virus is most likely airborne and not just in bodily fluids thus full body, non porous protection with breathing apparatus.

Medical personel should optimize the time spent with each patient.

ALL protective gear should be incinerated immediately after use. Nothing should be reused except irridiation facilities are available.

Medical personel must step up personal hygiene. Multiple change of personal clothing, trimmed nails, hair that can be washed multiple times daily thus no attachments or make up. It is that critical.

The cost of all these leaves only the government able to handle ebola cases for now. Privates should only isolate. This was the mistake First Medical made and they are paying the price. I hope they all survive.

onatisi: that is a wrong assumption . You see ,the chinese have a strong traditional medicine setup because their govt supports them, if our local traditional medicine guys are supported by the fg you will be surprised at what they can contribute and what they have to offer.before the whites came you have to realise that our local medicine sustained our forefathers.both the orthodox medical practitioners and the traditional ones can learn from each other

emmy02:

U will be surprised that the airport is shutdown or no flights to anywhere xcept west Africa... Hehehe..

lestat: Millions of Nigerians will die from this disease evenUN has predicted this and do you know why? Because as a people Nigerians have failed, Nigerians praise falsehood, mediocrity and material things.. Now you have been attracting the type of leaders you deserve.. Leaders who are dead spiritually and have no iota of remorse nor belief in the spiritual consequences of their actions.

Now th ebola will wipe millions of Nigerians away, because the country knew over a month ago that this disease was ravaging the west African region but was anything done to prevent this from entering Nigeria? No! We as a people have grown indolent and choose to be spoon fed we abhor work and look for ease in everything hence why spiritual bandits labeling themselves churchs thrive here...they offer seats in paradise in exchange for monetary gains, they encourage reckless, heartless life styles as long as you ask for forgiveness on Sunday, and also pay your thites so you can receive.

Why dont these spiritual fraudsters speak up against the injustices in our society by the government? the answer is simple the government also attends mosques and churches.

Well now it is too late, ebola cannot be bribed away, ebola cannot be deceived, this is it... The same Americans that boko harram hate, these same Americans that yahoo boys dupe daily are the only ones who can save west Africa, no PDP, Redeemed, christ embassy, or Nigerian Muslim association.... I have been waiting for one pastor to rise up and claim he or she can lay hands on ebola victims and heal them...where is pastor oyakilomeh? Usually he lays hands and casts out all diseases, has his healing powers gone on vacation?

Who knows maybe this time next month ebola may have killed even me too, who knows?

Saying God forbid wont do anything, this is a serious issue, alot of people do not realize how grave this is.

Well the sad fact is most of the Muslim clerics and pastors will run abroad when it gets really bad and they will tell you they are praying for Nigerians from there.

After this Maybe Nigerians will finally wake up?

Okudiover:

Did you say 'Divers'?

benuejosh: Ebola virus also has economic benefit, reducing population and making available food and other social amenities in abundance for others

NgwaManNaija4LF: Unfortunately,many Nigerians are semi illiterate and unpatriotic fools,the president and minister of health can go to hell, they are idiots. I live in Mali and something like this has not happen because their government are mean,they will never allow it to enter here even as they share border with one of the affected country,the problem with Nigerian leaders are their incompetence and half baked education.

Since this virus started,no one has taking it so serious,now that it is in,they want to act God.Hell No.

Even the doctors who attended the Liberian man are all fools,one does not need to tell you as long as he is from Liberia and show sign of sickness, you don't need to touch him right from the airport,our government should have taking the measures that they took now right from day one. Now they want to create a bad image for our dear land. My advice to you all honest and well meaning Nigerians is to vote out the clown called Jonathan from office. If he visit Mali, you all will hear the news because we are ready to disgrace him here. Idiotic president with idiotic ministers. Proudly Nigerian from Abia State.

ziccoit:

I heard Ghana has fumigated the whole country and done the other 'needfuls'. What has the hat wearing Nigerian president done/directed to be done in order to prevent the dangerous spread of this disease? You might think he couldn't do it alone but when the head is rotting, the rest of the body will nowhere be found.

ziccoit:

NMA should call off the strikes so that the members could die of Ebola upon 5k hazard allowance? You wicked no be small! U even topped that with Jesus is coming!
