That was what vexed me the most when some Nigerians with entitlement mentality were whining forever about America not giving them Zmapp.

My dear it's just mind boggling when I read about how some peeps were whining over america refusal to give Nigeria the zmap...nothing good comes easy.Before we know it, we could be faced with another deadly disease and we are not ready because there are no functional research institutes,no well known proactive measures in place.rather we are using the money for buying cars..private jets..

"a government is pleased when it governs a people who do not think"- i think this was some quote of hitler. Federal government (allegedly) designated billions for the purpose of acquiring arms for the prosecution of the war in North east, yet soldier boys are until now, still armed only with kobokos. I know if not for the serious minded government of lagos state(kudos to fashola), hundreds would by now lay dead on the streets of lagos and maybe neighbouring states. Nigerians, we need to teach ourselves a lesson... lets frighten these peeps in government a little.

Brother, why are you mentioning my name? After 4 pages nobody has criticised the government enough except Gboliwe makes a post?

Well, just so you can sleep better, let me lend my . fingers voice.
I strongly belive that Prof. Chukwu is sick if what Premium times reports is actually what he said. Incidentally, I have met this Prof officially on two occassions and I always believed he is sane. I now wonder why he would want to divert the funds released by the president at the peak of the ebola risk. Is he saying that the fund is part of their original budget? It doesn't make any sense to me. Buy cars for what? Are we on a jamboree?

In other words; lagos state government and the medical crew that risked their lives in taking care of patients with EVD and other suspected cases are actually the ones to be accorded recognition for any success in curbing ebola. Why should a minister counter the words given by the spokesperson of the president, regarding the use of funds for a disease that is a huge threat to the lives of nigerians. The pple he was appointed to serve? Why play politics with something so sensitive?

Sincere9gerian: What is wrong with this minister of health? Why not use the funds to set up world class isolation centres with well trained staff for hemorrhagic diseases or other highly infectious deadly diseases in select existing FG tertiary hospitals? Why not use part of the funds to support research on ebola and other hemorrhagic diseases? What about procurement of adequate barrier nursing tools and PPE in the existing in the hospitals? This minister should better get his acts together.

I guess the minister made this pronouncement because he feels the current outbreak of ebola has been effectively contained, but while that maybe true, we should begin now to prepare for the next outbreak of ebola, other hemorrhagic diseases or any other highly infectious and deadly disease. We should be proactive for once.
At this moment, the incompetency of this Professor is clear for all to see.

South Korea is working on ordering experimental drugs to prepare them for an Ebola crisis. They are working with FujiFilm Pharmaceutical for their Favipiravir Ebola/Influenza drug. This man is talking of cars, definitely to siphon money.

He has forgotten the need to invest in Biopharmaceutical research for a vaccine and treatment.

What a Health Minister. A disgrace to Doctors after losing his colleagues. He did not even think of protective gears for them or more detection devices for early tracking and isolation.

I suspected the Health Minister never offered to Support Mapp BioPharma financially to get ZMapp to Nigeria. That drug is a 3.5 billion naira research and this Health Minister had funds to try to save the Heroic health workers and channelled it for his selfish gains. SHOCKING!!!

I feel like slapping Onyebuchi Chukwu right now! I don't know why Jonathan is surrounded by mad,useless and incompetent people which makes him no exception. Chai!!

angry angry



(From a politically naive me)
Why is it that everyone talks about GEJ being surrounded by useless, incompetent people?
Like, he is in the middle, being surrounded by all these bad eggs.......all saintly and competent himself?

Has he not been tainted?
Why does he not surround himself with useful, competent people?
Why is he comfortable in the midst of such bad eggs?
(dodgy)

"Show me who your friends are..." anyone?
Any person who is okay with having a Labaran Maku and or an Onyebuchi Chukwu in his cabinet/ kitty/whatever is questionable to me

Why he did not surround himself with good people like X and Y is beyond me!
(Meanwhile I do not know the good politicians in this country apart from the Enugu state governor......anyone can help me out....I know bad anyway, bad is Maku, bad is Chukwu...and I am sure a whole load of others too)

Okay

You don't seen to have feelings for human life, If N1.9 billion was appropriated to fight Ebola, why didn't Lagos get at least some part of that money.
And you have the gut to tell Nigerians you have procured vehicles with N1.9 billion is that what the money was meant for?
The quarantine facilities I saw were too poor.
Am disappointed you are an Igbo man like me.
