Expended more energy in jostling for the high table microphone than tackling the subject matter. Is this a reaction or rebuttal because the Hon.Min might just be behind the info curve here. Not clear yet. Let's wait till sunrise.

sugarboimaxy: Nigerians spreading false rumours since amalgamation!

masonkz: Can we really trust this guy?


As much as I'm hoping this is true, all his reports so far about this disease have been questionable

You can't trust that minister of health!

KHAI

musiwa94: It takes about 2 days (48 hr) to get to anywhere in the far north by road.


Look when you talk of doctors strike.. if you are a doctors and getting information from your fellow doctors talking about high number of die. what will you do? you have to know doctors are the only one who can tell you what the real number killed is.

scribble:

information management is very important part of controlling the disease

I realise that but this man has been on air more times than necessary and has ended up confusing the general public... We have a minister for information, I believe that's his duty!!!

Aizebioje: If this man channels the amount of time he spends giving press releases into controlling the Ebola virus, we'll actually have less to worry about!!!

I don't want to belive any Ebola News again self

Sammiel: The Minister of Health Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu has said that there is no new confirmed case of Ebola disease in the country, contrary to reports that five new cases had been observed in Lagos.The minister, in a tweet on Wednesday by his
Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Dan Nwomeh, explained that so far, no new case had been confirmed.In an email, Nwomeh referred our correspondent to the twitter handle @DanNwomeh, for what he called, “updates and clarifications of (mis)information on
the fight against Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria.
“Meanwhile as at today, the status remains the same. Disregard all rumours of new cases please,” he further said.
The tweet read, “This clarification follows reports of 5 new cases in Lagos State. This should be disregarded please.“The Minister of Health reiterates that he has the sole authority to announce confirmed
cases of disease epidemics in Nigeria.“The minister reassures Nigerians that any new confirmed case of EVD in Nigeria will be announced by his office promptly.“Any doubtful information on the outbreak of EVD should be verified from the office of the Minister of Health.“Minister of Health
Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu restates that at present, today, now, Nigeria has only two confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease.”
He also stated that there was no evidence that discharged patients can transmit
the disease, adding that a Liberian whose name he did not disclose, was treated for malaria “having tested negative for Ebola
Virus Disease.” Minister of Health Prof.
Onyebuchi Chukwu restates that at present, today, now, Nigeria has only two confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease.

I don't know why Nigerians are fond of spreading rumours and causing unnecessary panic.

Yea, this man is known for speaking from both sides of his mouth, we really can't trust his info. I hope though for the love of the Country that he is telling the truth this time.

I see a battle for relevance and superiority between FG's Minister for Health (Prof. Onyebuchi) and LASG's Health Commissioner (Dr. Idris) instead of embracing cooperation and coordination to manage the situation more effectively. Unfortunately, it is Nigeria that will suffer from this type of unnecessary show of shame.

We have 5new suspected cases ie people showing sysmptoms of Ebola but they have not been confirmed positive by lab investigation. However they have been brought in and quarantined.

Stop making up things there is nothing to compete about. Both of them actually said the same thing. The lasg commissioner said SUSPECTED case while the fg minister said NO CONFIRMED case

I don't think so. Even the Health Minister does not acknowledge the suspected cases when his Assistant said “This clarification follows reports of 5 new cases in Lagos State. This should be disregarded please.“

go and seat down if you standing so that u can reason well. the Ebola issue need more of information than treatment. the whole world praise Nigeria d way they handle this disease. You can never see any thing good.

datguru: Permit me now to say this Ebola issue is now becoming a SCAM and a PROPAGANDA

by the any of progress

Nigerian government officials lying to Nigerians since independence.

Teach me more please.

nigerians and their stupid rumor mongering!!!

God save us, who do we believe, the man from Lagos or the man from Abuja?
How many SA this man get self?

Be wise
Trust nothing that comes out from that crooked Minister

Bazinga: I wonder why some nigerians like peddling false information about a sensitive issue like ebola? Whatever their end game is, God pass them. We refuse to be scared, because Jesus is Lord.



Meanwhile: Nigerian journalism disgracing Nigerians with lies and wrong facts since 1900.

stiffer measures should be implemented to close down media houses where such news emanated from... By then, others will learn.

You need to read in between the lines.
Yes the minister 'does not acknowledge suspected cases' because ebola has no peculiar symptoms. The Minister only announces confirmed case, as longer as the case is still 'suspected' is not yet confirmed. Lags commissioner should stop feeding the public with 'wrong' info, knowing that many Nigerians have comprehension issue.
