its not like the Nigerians were doing it alone

" About 170 Kenyan health workers are set to leave for Sierra Leone and Liberia on Friday as part of the African Union (AU) mission to contain Ebola in West Africa.

The volunteer health workers, drawn across the 47 counties, will be in West Africa for six months. "

Back then,
Ethiopian Airlines was flying to Nigeria. Even when there was Ebola. Many people opposed the Airlines but still everything went good

mtis:

It is a pity.
Somalia at war is almost better than kenya at peace.
Very pitifull.

even here same thing happened ...

chkil0:


nigeria 52,75 years
somalia 55,36 years
kenya 61,58 years
Algeria ( the longuest in africa) 75,6 years

See Nigeria is the foremost third world country with by far the largest population, so it's not a surprise to have these statistics that have to do with the human index on average. But when you take average for Somalia, or Kenya, it's a different context, separate from taking average for Nigeria, it doesn't mean Nigeria is now a war torn poverty stricken country worse than somalia.

Considering the facts that both Nigeria and Somalia are both fighting an unconventional war and yet kenya average is not much higher than them is mind blogging.

Very pitifull.

Talks about Nigeria at some point, and partly about other African countries a bit. About future clean energy and stuff. I am surprised that the whole of Sub Sahara Africa consumes less electricity than the state of Alabama

I know Mengistu as just a dictator, same goes to you. This result came because of our govt. They been announcing his bad governance and covering his greatest contribution to the country. And am soooo against this.


Let them not talk about him at all or let them let us know the whole chapter.


I AM SOOO AGAINST WHAT THEY ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE SPOILING THE MIND OF THE NEW GENERATION IN MANY WAYS.


BETTER SAVE THE GENERATION RATHER THAN

THE SO CALLED MONEY, ECONOMY AND STUFFS LIKE THAT

ECONOMY IS MAKING AFRICA BLIND.

Definitely right ehet Ednited.
- al most always talking bad about past regimes
- always saying "Ethiopia economy is annually growing by double digit numbers" and use this to cover their atrocities.

It's a fact that the end for those racist TPLFs and TPLFinized Amharas, Oromos and others will not be pretty. I hate the Amharas and others who sold their identities and are collaborating with TPLFs more than the TPLFs themselves.

Have you compared the pre TPLF and post TPLF Amhara size? It's very sad seeing the map, because most of the fertile lands has been looted by Tigrays, Benishangul-Gumzas, Oromos, Afars and even by Sudan. It's unacceptable map.

Ethiopia will not come to it's part glories when those cancer Tigrays are living in Ethiopia. Either all of them must be eradicated or let them to seceded from Ethiopia and portion the land they looted and only let them to live in the dry rocky mountains.

I know you are "Ethiopia First", but we need first to fight for Ethiopia owner Amharas. I've officially joined the struggle from this day on.

Have felt disgusted by the current TPLF created Ethiopia Flag? I'm sure you do. It's a TPLF propaganda to make us believe their is democracy and peace in Ethiopia.

Ednited, we must bring back the real and beautiful Ethiopia flag back! This will help us to re establish a greater Bete Amhara.

NAIJA i hail theee



Indian writer and human rights activist Arundathi Roy once said, "there is no such thing as the voiceless, only the deliberately silenced or the preferably unheard". Indeed, narratives about African ingenuity, African agency, and African heroism in the age of Ebola have been preferably unheard. As an African proverb aptly puts it: "Until the lion learns to write, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter."


Most recently Nigeria positioned itself as a lion that completely unsettled the narrative around Ebola and the white saviour complex. As the regional West African hegemon and Africa's fastest growing economy, Nigeria contained Ebola in three months without foreign intervention.


While the US has been scrambling to address the few cases of Ebola on its shores with a series of policy missteps, Nigeria showed that it could be done by an African country on its own terms.


With 31 percent of overall healthcare spending accounted for by the federal government in 2012 alone, Nigeria used infrastructure and systems already in place to fight polio, to contain Ebola. Institutions such as the Nigerian Center for Disease Control, the Nigerian Field Epidemiology Training Program, and the Lagos State Ministry of Health responded quickly by quarantining and treating suspected Ebola patients, tracing the contacts of those infected, and launching a massive public awareness campaign about how to avoid further transmission of the virus. With more doctors than Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone combined, Nigeria also galvanised the support of healthcare workers who had previously been on strike.


Beyond Nigeria's technical expertise and rapid response, equally important is the country's unique brand of superiority that fundamentally challenges the white saviour complex.


Quite naturally, detractors attempted to undermine Nigeria's success. When the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the country Ebola-free a few weeks ago, the fanfare around this feat was short-lived. I even sensed some unspoken incredulity. Folks were quick to react that Nigeria wasn't completely out of the woods yet, that there could be a resurgence of Ebola .

Local, not international efforts
Some narratives erroneously attributed Nigeria's success to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the WHO, and the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Yet, Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie responded with a sharp smack-down of this "lie". She openly criticised The Washington Post and The New York Times for deliberating concealing the fact that local, not international efforts, had contained Ebola. For instance, it was a Nigerian woman, Dr Ameyo Adadevoh, who insisted on isolating the country's first Ebola patient before eventually succumbing to the virus herself .

Less incredulous individuals praised Nigeria, wondering why they weren't being consulted about the do's and don'ts of Ebola containment. Consultations with Nigerians were largely shirked to the side because they invalidated the white saviour complex.

One thing Ebola has exposed about the white saviour complex is that it is voracious and unapologetic. It simplifies complexity, appropriates ideas without crediting the source, upstages local efforts that preceded it, thrives on "I" statements, and soaks up media attention.

In her celebrated essay, "Can the subaltern speak?", Gayatri Spivak rails against the problematic narrative of "white men saving brown women from brown men". In actuality, no one has the capacity to "save" another human being. Believing that one can is the greatest form of self-delusion and narcissism.

Contrary to the dominant Ebola foreign intervention narrative, Liberians, Guineans, and Sierra Leoneans are not waiting around idle, eager to be rescued by white saviours. While we welcome genuine collaboration, we remain our own heroes and heroines. The fact that more than 200 local healthcare workers died from Ebola is a testament to that heroism. They risked their lives long before international actors woke up from their slumber.
No externally driven intervention narrative can change that fact, as Nigeria has proven. So, thank you, Nigeria, for completely exposing the white saviour complex for being a figment of western imagination. Like other psychological disorders, it must be treated with regular doses of reality, now and after Ebola.

It's a great achivement that you guys controlled Ebola fast. But Nigeria need to work on the health section more. There is a huge difference between Ethiopia and Nigeria on this

In my opinion Ethiopia is a potential African and world powerhouse.
But let there be peace, if any group must secede, they should secede peacefully. I understand your pain, cos Ethiopia is also a large country, faced with the problems common with such developing countries with large population, but the potential is there.

ednited:


On the outside, very impressive . . . .

I know that so many pipo in Ethiopia still live in abject poverty, I kniw that the EPRDF regime is quite repressive, but let us give them the credit where it is due.

Raising the country that was so utterly devastated is not sumthing that can be achieved thru a very short time. Ethiopia is a project u all need to work on.

If u fail again, all of us in this region will fail.

Nigeria actually has one of the best healthcare sysytem in africa.

But many factors are on play here, which are but not limited to:

Religion.
Population.
Education.

E.g During a polio vaccination in some states in northern nigeria, people where actually refusing to be vaccinated because they believe it is unislamic.

Hati13, we have to do something. But you know, there is nothing wrong with our flag if what they say the flag stands for, is standing for. But the flag andh reality have no similarity. No equality

So, this flag isn't important

Economy, diplomacy, FDI, diplomacy, economy, FDI. . . .!!!!! Am tired of this!!!!!
