The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, has said that
Nigeria is now at risk of contacting the deadly Ebola virus which has
been spreading across neighboring West African countries in recent
times. The virus which first broke out in Guinea in January this year, is
said to have no vaccine at the moment and has killed a total of 87
people with 137 cases reported since the outbreak.
Ghana only recently
reported a case of Ebola Virus Disease. Continue...
Facts about Ebola Virus Disease as stated by Wikipidea
-Its a viral disease that has no cure and no vaccine
- Affects mostly Africans
- It kills very fast
-It is transmitted by direct contact with infected blood or body fluid or via reuse of infested hospital injections
-Symptoms
of infection includes fever with chills, joint pain, muscle pain, and
chest pain,abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, respiratory tract
disorder such as sore throat, cough, hiccups, impaired circulatory
system symptomology, discharge of blood from nose, vagina, gingiva(gum),
rash all over the body.
- It takes 13 days for the symptoms to manifest after contacting the virus.
-Prevention
is first by Quarantine, that is, the separation of infected person from
the public to forestall the spread of their infected body fluid and
blood. Animal products such as meat should be thoroughly cooked before
consumption. Constant washing of hands after each activity, avoiding
eating of fruits without washing, as well as non consumption of fruits
that have been eaten by bats

ReplyDeleteSo many diseases. We're only human now, Haba!
ReplyDeleteEbola Virus My Arse. The Usa and 3 World Countries and thier conspiracy theory. The are really lookingfor a way to wipe out the black Race again if i must say. First Aids Virus was introduced. Now its Ebola and the claim is that it kills only black africans. Good Job. and because it effect only black now, and no white yet, there is no vaccines or cure for it. but the moment it start hitting White people, Vaccine would come out. Human Beings are just something else. Packing my bags and leaving back to Mars jare! Mchew!
ReplyDeleteIt killed scientists in germany and russia in the ninties. These ppl were white and, they were actually working on a vaccine for the virus.
DeleteWonders shall never end!
ReplyDeleteThings that supposedly cause the Ebola whatever are same things that causes diarrhea and the likes; which *everyone gets once in a while.
My question is, why does it affect mostly Atricans?..hmm
The real cause of this virus is still a mystery.
God help us!
* My R1.50c comment *
It is not that it affects only africans but it's major vector which is d fruit bat resides mainly in this region. Add this to poor hygiene and it makes a recipe for disaster. Fruit licked or eatin by d bat can be picked up by villagers who normally would not wash before eating. It does not have d potential to spread like hiv cause of its short incubation and high mortality. This helps prevent spread as d infected is to ill to travel and symptoms are easily spotted so the infected are quickly quarantined.
DeleteOk, thanks.
DeleteAlmigty father will protect us from any deadly diease. Nigeria n Africans as a whole are covered with the blood of Jesus. First to comment
ReplyDeleteLinda †нε girl dat died in Gh tested negative for ebola virus. Thank God. Bt let nigeria nd ghana upgrade they medical team. Biko ebola is ñ✽t our portion

ReplyDeleteSo what is The Honourable minister and the federal government doing to prevent people with Ebola virus from coming to nigeria because I remember when there was outbreak of yellow fever and Ghanaians refused to let Nigerians and other foreigners in without the yellow fever card
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS SERIOUS !!! FOR NIGERIA . MAY THIS NOT COME TO US IN JESUS NAME AMEN
ReplyDeleteNa wah,end time things...we heard of Sars,Bird flue,now Ebola,sounds yorubaish

ReplyDeleteWell, voltron is an illiterate. Ebola virus got it's name from Ebola river in Congo where the first outbreak was recorded. If you want to be tribalistic, atleast do it with some knowlegde. Google is ur friend retard!

ReplyDeleteMay God help our country dis is worst dan Hiv Aid
ReplyDeleteIs anyone not wondering why this Ebola virus is showing up now that it looks like Africa is rising again with populations and economic growth rates that will dwarf the West in the next 50 years? Some American Scientists have been pushing to use Ebola to reduce the world's population for years. Why am I not surprised that ut has suddengly popped up in Africa, the continent with the world's fastest population? Our government needs to sit up and fast!
ReplyDeleteEbola kills under 72hr.
ReplyDeleteIf this thing gets to Naija, half the population will be wiped out! I hope the govt is taking this issue seriously. But like everything else govt in this damn country, I doubt they are!
ReplyDeleteGhana has NOT reported a case of Ebola Virus Disease. Please be circumspect in your reportage.There was a teenager who showed signs of the disease she was tested at the world acclaimed Noguchi Institute and it was confirmed it wasnt EVD!! thanks
ReplyDeleteLinda get ur facts right. the case reported in Ghana was NOT Ebola.
ReplyDeleteThe Ebola Virus reminds me of the movie "World War Z By Brad Pitt" - A must watch.
ReplyDeleteBTW, a cure has been found. All you need do is inject yourselves with "Bee Venom" just incase you develop symptoms of any viral infection like H.I.V or Ebola. The Bee Venom kills ALL viral infections.
Google is your friend - Thank me later!
Now that the Homosexual Campaign has failed in most African Countries [especially in Nigeria], ebola virus is now imminent & spreading faster like a wildfire.
America can come up with more tougher infections & diseases from their laboratories in order "To Get Rid of The Black Community" but We shall see who wins - either the hands of America or the hands of Time!
Special Note: "The HIV-AIDS Virus was manufactured as a designer bi-product of the US Special Virus programme. The Special Virus programme was a federal virus development programme that persisted in the United States from 1962 until 1978 - Robert Gallo"

SO THE PRESIDENT HAS FINALLY ACCEPTED THAT DIS DEADLY DISEASE IS IN NIGERIA, WHY WAS HE DENYING IT B4?
ReplyDeleteHey Linda, is that how you spell Wikipedia? Be careful oh!!! #smh

ReplyDeleteMay dis never get 2 Naija Biko<<<<<< God keep ur people!!!!
ReplyDeleteGod save us please.
ReplyDeleteWhat are all black Professors of medicine doing ?? by now shouldn't they teams of medical practitioners be passing the night at the laboratory?? Professors for nothing very clueless people. Why does the black race always depend the pale looking whites for solution to all things.
ReplyDeleteJust because it's on wikipedia doesn't mean you have to put it here. Wikipedia isn't always correct. What does 'affect mostly Africans' mean? Seriously. Abeg, don't copy and paste. Lots of people get their info from here so please try to write credible things. For a statement like this, I believe you owe it to your readers to expatiate.
ReplyDelete(For instance, it affects mostly Africans because it can be gotten from Animals and we eat lots of bush meat...)
Thank you :)
Nigeria is not at risk,its already in nigeria. A case of ebola virus was seen in general hospital minna niger state about 3weeks ago.#FACT
ReplyDeleteGod biko help us.
