wikiman: God doesn't help the praying Africans with vaccines or cures. They die in their hundreds. It's because of their sins.

I love the part. I believe Nigeria has the worst sinners in the world because majority of them are not just sinners but hypocrites.

Let's not forget that these could also be symptoms of lesser illnesses, but to be on a safer side, try and get diagnosed immediately you notice related symptoms and seek expert help. Ignorance kills faster than any sickness.

Ebola does not respect anybody. That is why the Government is now working tirelessly to stop it.

Mind you, American will not give you any SERUM after the meningitis in 1996 that Pfizer administered unapproved drugs in Nigeria which came with backlashes.

They are testing their drugs on their own citizen alone not Africans. Africans will be the first to cry that Americans are using them as Guinea pigs to test their drugs.

Go and hold your Government that spends more money on Amnesty than Research responsible for your safety.

YoursGEJ: To FG. Don't wait and beg America for cure. Mobilize Nigerian biomedical researchers and provide them resources and they will come up with something. Maybe then America may even beg us to share what we found
But will the government listen? They are more concerned about what go into their pocket. Smh.

BellaSwan: Salt water baths don’t cure Ebola. Here’s how to protect yourself

We are all aware that Ebola is now in Nigeria. Ebola is deadly but you don’t have to get it. Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself and your loved ones.

1. How Can I Get Ebola?
One can get Ebola by
a. contact with someone who is VISIBLY sick with the disease
b. contact with the body of someone who has died from Ebola
c. contact with an animal that is carrying the
virus - usually fruit bats & monkeys

2. How Can I Know Someone Has Ebola?
The first and most important thing is a HIGH and SUDDEN FEVER plus any of these other 3 signs:
a. excessive stool (especially with blood)
b. vomiting
c. loss of appetite
d. weakness
e. joint & body pain
f. sore throat

3. What Do I Do If I think I Or Someone I Know Has Ebola?
Call +23480032652437 IMMEDIATELY to speak with Health Officials if you’re in Nigeria. Airtime is free on this number.
a. don’t go to church/mosque/prayer house - ask your pastor, imam or spiritual leader to pray for you from where they are. You will save lives
b. stay at home and keep yourself alone until the health officials are able to handle your case.

4. How Can I Protect Myself?

a. keep a clean environment
b. wash your hands often and avoid unnecessary contact
c. be vigilant. If someone is visibly sick, notify the authorities and avoid them
d. educate everyone around you. If the people around you are educated, you are safer.
5. Finally…

Many false claims are going round now. Be careful!
a. John G Lake died before Ebola was discovered. How could he have cured it?
b. No one has been cured or protected from Ebola by taking bitter kola. If you feel like bitter kola, eat it but protect yourself!
c. Salt and hot water don’t protect against viruses. If it did, it would also cure HIV!
6. Spread the Word

Tell everyone around you to keep yourself safe! Re-broadcast this message!

Go to www.ebolafacts.com for more information and direct questions there!

Thank you OP, this is the enlightenment Nigerians need and i promise Ebola will go away. Because if the virus is so strong all of guinea would be all wiped out by now. lets not over hyped this virus, lets join the government in enlightening the public, with so doing we wouldn't need a serum from the US and this will help in giving experience to our health sector in case of future outbreak.
Sometimes i think Obama is right by not releasing the serum and tell us to maintain and control the situation by our self.

We are Nigerians
We will control the situation without a vaccine

God will never do for us what He has given us the ability to do for ourselves. If we fail to maintain good personal hygiene but resort instead to binding and loosing evil spirits, we will most likely contract contagious diseases. Shouting "Die by fire, die by thunder" will not prevent Ebola except our faith is coupled with action to avoid the risk factors. If we like we can mix salt, pepper, limestone, bleach or even acid in our bath water, it won't change anything.

I guess people are scared about Ebola because...unlike Malaria or even HIV(both of which will kill far more people than Ebola ever will this year)......it can't be cured or controlled by drinking a drug.

The entire continent, comprised largely of backward thinking people, is thrown into confusion. They were praying. Calling on God as usual. God doesn't drop vaccines or cures from heaven.

A thinking society, a practical society, a sensible society. They solved the problem in the lab and not in the church or some other religious houses. They know the solution to problems is not by handing it over to God or casting it on Jesus or someothers. They found a cure and locked it away, for a day it will be needed. We were in church and mosques, praying. So EBOLA hit West Africa and the entire continent became jittery. Hundreds died. America kept quiet. Two Americans got infected. The Americans opened their wardrobe, flew the cure to Africa and saved their citizens. The drug worked within minutes! The two citizens were saved. Not by prayers but by common sense preparation. God doesn't help the praying Africans with vaccines or cures. They die in their hundreds. It's because of their sins. What else will they say?The Americans don't help lazy minded Africans too. They make money with their vaccines, which praying Africans have to buy. Cos they won't spend their time taking the hard route to solve their problems. They will rather gather in special prayer grounds and ask God to intervene. But he does not. Except maybe through the money making Pharma companies in America. Such is the life of those who don't think!"[/b]

In as much as I abhor the level of religious fanatism in Nigeria, I am sick of people who sit on their hands and criticize others when they are guilty of the same crime. Coming to nairaland to complain about the ineptitude of Nigerian government and the popualce don't just cut.

Dear Critic,
What have you done in your own capacity as a private individual to mitigate the spread of this virus?.


Can you list 10 things you have done recently which is in the interest of the public other than you own private gain?


If you happen to be the President of Nigeria, what would you do differently?



In what ways have you solved problems within your immediate community?


Until we as individuals can provide answers to these questions and other ones, we are all guilty of complacency, ignorance and laziness.

Its not only america who works on in.

Also here in europa we work on ebola, just got the information that the Austrian University of Science in Vienna is the co founder of the drug which the two americans get.

the next a company in UK will start with september with vaccinations and it is very possible that they start in Africa with it.

We here in Europa we work on it and we know with the help of god we can make it but praying and fasting will never bring a new drug.

haibe: The only problem I have with Nigeria now is the fact that we invest more on religion than helpful research. Despite having at least a church in almost every street in Lagos, Lagos remains the first to inhabit ebola, despite Nigeria being one of the most religious countries in the world, we are still among the most dangerous, corrupt and soon poorest countries in the world. Where are those medical practitioners that claim they know it all, those useless medical professors that have no job than oppressing students thinking they are intelligent, where are they let them prove what they have got. But No!! They won't stand up and act now but later say they are not inferior to the oyibo man.

I guess we just have too much hypocrites and illiterates in Nigeria.
What do you want the medical experts to do, perform magic? How do you think medical researches are conducted? It takes a lot of money, knowledge and experience to manufacture drugs and discover therapeutic methods for curing diseases.

How many research centers are in Nigeria?

How much is the government funneling into medical and pharmaceutical research?

We're not inferior to any country. We don't just have the facilities, funding and know-how they've got.

Mr Atheist, Africans are not as religious as Indians yet Hindus are the majority among the great players in the field of medicine.

We don't have the same military, economy, development and a whole lot of other things with the West. You think that's because we pray a lot? Take your religion-bashing campaign somewhere else.

the new laboratory for the University of marburg which is for searching for the marburgvirus and his sister ebola was 15 Million USD.

That is when two jetpastors sell their jets and nigeria could have this.

You don't have facilities because you embezzle them, Nigeria has lots of money. Even the little that is let go are not used well, what about knowledge and experience? why are they medical practitioners without knowledge? you think it's theory we need them for? See this guy oo. Just close your eye in shame for saying this.

So pastors are to fund medical research while the leaders keep looting our treasury?

Not too long ago, the naira had more value than the British pound. Maybe you also blame our currency depreciation on religion too.

leave the guy let him be yarning bulshit. How can an one think Nigeria doesn't have the money. Only A pastor in Nigeria would create two world class health facilities, not to talk of the government and Nigeria as a whole. The problem is just that the black man is greedy and lazy.
