Lagos ndonu!!
Gosh!!!! this is scary. Just yesterday, they said there were 50 people who may have had direct or indirect contact with those who have been confirmed to have the virus now this list has expanded to 130 something. Pray tell, where are all these people who are under "surveillance?" Are they still roaming around freely or quarantined?
Blood of Jesus!
What are all the lecturers who regard themselves as professors and Doctors doing??? are they already in the lab working to get a cure??? or they are all waiting for the west to come up with a cure?? I hate the fact am from Africa, we are soo back ward and brainless.
Now this is turning something else...
Better oh...!
Emergency meetings that never yield positive,outcome
what should we do?
OMG!!! Not again. This is a very delicate matter and should be taken serious. GEJ should suspend everything and look into this problem. They should not forget that anybody can be a victim.
These two new cases were they part of the initially group that they were monitoring, because FG said the cases so far are the victims directly in contact with Patrick sawyer and if not how did these two people infected
Chai..we need to be strong o! This is getting more scary.
Linda,please which part of Lagos were the people confirm dead?
It is well
Don't talk ill of the dead they say. But Patrick sawyer what u did was unfair. You entered Nigerian weak and sick and u know what's happening in Liberia and u are well educated and even reside in USA.
I remember when my uncle had chicken pox he did not go to work and isolated himself for 2 weeks. RIP Patrick tho u dealt wickedly with nigerians.
God go help us amen
GOD HELP NIGERIA
God is ou helper! This is how it started in Liberia! Only God will judge that Swayer dude. Like Nigeria doesn't have enough problems to deal with.
Is the man back from Washington DC? SHAMELESS MAN... He doesn't know that even he isn't immune from this disease.God help us
Dis is gettin more scary...Oh Lord i ask for Mercy upon dis country...help us stop dis devilish virus..IJN
God is our helper! This is how it started in Liberia! Only God will judge that Swayer dude. Like Nigeria doesn't have enough problems to deal with!
GEJ condemns Ebola
I declare, by the power of the most high God, I bound u deadly plague, u wicked virus to die in the name of Jesus Amen
This should be a moment of continous prayer in Nigeria. God will surely help us.

God of miracle na my PAPA
queenreigneth@gmail.com
Dey better find a way 2 contain dis tin o Asap
Am deathly scared
Please enough with the surveillance, just pack all 132 persons and isolate them Biko. It's because of "surveillance" that Patrick sawyer was able to board a plane and come here. The minute you suspect someone has come in contact with an infected person, just grab him/her and quarantine until the 21days are over..... Surveillance isn't the best preventative measure, quarantine and isolation are.
Save us oh Lord
FACE OF LIB
Chei, God help us oo
Dear Linda,
I can confirm to you that there has been another case of Ebola in NNPC hospital at Muri Okunola in Victoria Island Lagos. The patient is secluded in a room and everyone is panicking. The Lagos state Government has been alerted since morning and they are yet to be here.
Please everyone should be conscious because this is real!!!
This guy and his emergency meeting . .mumu
O set ë! Well if you believe only if you believe, you can have ebola!!!
GOD HELP US
Oya e. Igbayi laaro. Mtcheeew. May God keep me and my loved ones away from every strange virus.
this is getting outta hand man and I am getting real scared
Lord please help our health professionals to contain this demon of a virus
God oooooooo help ur children @ mercy
I hope this emergency meeting is not to condemn Ebola, rather to put the situation under control by providing the neccessary equipment into the field.
Dear God please save Nigerians and the rest of the world.
Medicine after death...ndjoephotos@yahoo.com
Oh my days! Not again... Just wen I was beginin to rest my head, den dis happend. God we pray for ur help o
This is really scary oh! I pray that God will protect us
Some Nigerians think it's a joke. Sending stupid jokes here n there about it on social media.
It is well. God will intervene that's for sure.
God pls save us i put me and my family in your hands
OMG wots hapnin
That Patrick Sawyer was not human but a demon, an agent of death.
Please someone should educate my ignorance. Experts told us that bats, monkey,gorrila, chimpanzee and all bush meat are carriers of the Ebola virus. If the virus emerged from the so called listed bush animals, why wait this long before the outbreak? Of course these animals has been in existence for ages, and we've always had them for food. Well, am not an expert, just trying to think outside the box. I believe there's something they are not telling us. Another method to show superiority over the African populace..~~da dude( Duko)
Pls Linda people can call 6222 toll free with Airtel $ Etisalat to get counselling / info on HIV/AIDS,realated diseases $ on Ebola also.u can call from all around Nigeria between the hours of 8am to 8pm Mondays to Fridays. U. Can also try Linda to confirm.
Helen P
Ebola virus was ist discovered by a scientist in 1976.
That Patrick will never rest in peace
Pls what part of the scripture Is dis ur quote in, cos its not in my own bible
YES PATRICK SAWYER WILL NEVA REST IN PEACE

Mr or mrs My turn,pls stop d blame thing and pray for d nation. Don't use the same mouth u use in cursing ur president to pray. Learn to respect those in the authority its in d bible. This is the time we all come together and fight this off our shore. All hands must be on deck. This ebola can find itself to any country even d US if measures to contain it are not taken on time. Do u know d flight d liberian man took wasn't direct flight to nigeria. It transited in togo before coming here, so a carrier can sneak to any of this neighboring country that has not been reported of any ebola case and from there travel to the US or any other country. This is a global treat, which needs urgency, so people should not be crying over spit milk. Let's fight it with one mind. God bless Nigeria.
Its well with Nigeria ooo! God please have mercy, for without you we can do nothing...
Patrick is so wicked he knew he had d disease nd he wntd to spread it b4 he died dats so wickd of him bt w thng am sure of is der is ntfin impossible for GOD to handle. In God I trust
MZ G says so
Honestly, this has become a serious emergency unfortunately. Lagos must declare a state of emergency. all of us should stay in our houses for 3 weeks until all the suspected contacts are confirmed infected or not. lagos is too populous and too unhygenic for us to do otherwise. we need to contain this. we cant be too careful. as for patrick sawyer and the liberian immigration plus the airline that flew a visibly sick passenger from a country going through an epidemic. i dont know what to say. This is totally preventable and unfair. Nigerians are going through enough alreaady

families;

Dont Panic and Just be relaxed and follow the guidelines and maintain high level of Hygiene. Remember that if you are alive then there is everything otherwise nothing.
