cirmuell: lol bro don't kill me with laughter.

Sorry if I sounded funny bust it was the last thing I intended for my post to achieve!! I'm so fvcking pissed to my innards over the calibre of incredibly inept and foolish putos that have been charting the course of this country!!

When you watch the news from the major international news channels and listen to how events are been analysed and the depths of the analysis, you wonder if those men attended schools in Jupiter!! When a minister of the Fed Republic speaks, you start wondering if some remnants of prehistoric life forms are not living amongst us!!

It is so depressing!!

duni04:
If she's already contacted the virus by direct contact with the patient but them disinfects herself and her equipment, she'll probably not transmit the virus to any other patient until she starts showing symptoms herself. You can only give ebola as a carrier when you show symptoms, most notably fever and diarrhoea.

I know this! However this is a hypothetical question. Lets say she did not disinfect herself, how long will this virus remain on her hand as a contagion, before she herself becomes a main source of the disease ? (hours, days, mouths?) I'm on to something here.

Things just don't work in Nigeria, do they? I think it's about time Chukwu is booted out of office because he and his oga at the top can't handle this.

Saying the woman escaped is as ridiculous as Patrick Sawyer's escape to naija. Liberia need not appologize; 'quarantine' has a new meaning in Africa.

#Still I pray for God's timely intervention#

ibedun: Selfish woman.

Selfish people - she had to carry the whole thing out of Lagos all the way to Enugu. Probably potentially infecting countless people along the way.

Typical Easterner!!

probably coming from a stuupid westerner. ndi ofe mmanu. baastard people!

"One of the doctors and research experts that came forward was Dr Simon Agwale who has been one of the frontline global researchers on developing vaccines for HIV and other viral diseases. He also came forward and said he could help, both in terms of working out to develop a vaccine which he said he has started work on between himself and his fellow experts in the US and he said this is ongoing. The minister of health has given support and directed him to the committee. He also discussed the possibility of certain therapies they can now use which could be applied. And again, that's being discussed. And once it's approved, it could be used".

^^^^This is quite impressive. Can someone please let Nigerian professionals and experts abroad take full control of the country, so as to let all the clueless bells running that country take the back seat, till the country is stable and the educational system has been revamped?

Also, how did the woman escape - and is she any different from the "Sawyer" man GEJ labelled as "crazy man?" I guess everyone involved is crazy, both the dead and the ones running the country - pathetic souls!

Is it confirmed that she has ebola?

If she was a primary contact isn't the incubation period over or close to anyway?

Richardjemedafe: Full meaning of EBOLA

E – Everlasting

B – Blessings

O – Of

L – Lord

A – Almighty

ON THIS NOTE,

I pray for you that EBOLA will
locate u and ur family this week in Jesus name……

This is BLASPHEMY!

That nurse is so so selfish and wicked.

It has been 20 days since Patrick Sawyer's death and 25 days since he landed in Nigeria.

Ebola has a maximum incubation period of 21 days. Is the nurse sick? Did she test positive

Good question.

Logic says she is otherwise they wouldn't go through all that stress tracking her. Besides all the others who had direct contact with Sawyer at the hospital are positive for the virus.

Anyway, this is the profile of Dr Simon Agwale(quite impressive, I must say):

Simon Agwale, Ph. D is the founder and CEO of INNOVATIVE BIOTECH LTD, Keffi, Nigeria (www.innovativebiotechng.com). Dr Simon Agwale is a highly respected virologist/vaccinologist especially with regard to his work on HIV vaccine development. He has a vision for the development and investigation of HIV vaccine constructs from prevalent Nigerian strains which are relevant to Nigerians.

Dr Simon Agwale is a highly respected virologist/vaccinologist especially with regard to his work on HIV vaccine development. He has a vision for the development and investigation of HIV vaccine constructs from prevalent Nigerian strains which are relevant to Nigerians.

Dr Agwale has put a lot of efforts to push this agenda forward and has received global recognition for these laudable efforts. He has already made several candidates DNA vaccines, some of which have been shown to be immunogenic in animal models. His studies on molecular epidemiology of HIV in Nigeria led to the establishment of subtypes A/G recombinant and G as the most predominant subtypes in Nigeria. Dr. Agwale led the studies that established the first molecular evidence of HIV-2 in Nigeria. In addition, he reported the first case of drug resistant HIV-1 in Nigeria. Dr. Agwale spearheaded a series of studies that established a murine model of HIV Tat-mediated immune modulation. This model will be invaluable in allowing the identification of novel Tat immunogens that could afford protection against this activity of the HIV-1 Tat protein.

With over 10 years experience combining top-level scientific research with the operations of a private company, he has been involved in academic research at various institutions in Nigeria, Brazil, Germany, the UK, and the United States. Before coming back to Nigeria, Dr. Agwale worked for several years at the institute of Human Virology, Baltimore, USA. Between 2001 and 2003, he served as Head of the Vaccines/Immunology Unit of the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD) - the Nigerian federal government Research Institute.

Dr. Agwale is West Africa's representative on HIV/AIDS for Developing countries Coordinating Committee (DCCC) at European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Programme (EDCTP), where he is also the chair of the African Scientists committee (DCCC). He represents African scientists at the partnership board and General Assemble-European Economic Interest Group (GA-EEIG) of EDCTP. Furthermore, Dr. Agwale was appointed Chairman of the Nasarawa State’s specialist hospital, Lafia. He also represents Nigeria and West Africa at the NEPAD Council. He has experience in vaccine development and large epidemiological projects management. He played a key role in the development of the Nigerian HIV vaccine plan and the creation of the Nigerian AIDS Vaccine Programme (NAVAP) both of which were adopted by Nigerian Stakeholders. In addition, he was a participant in the development of guidelines for the use of Antiretroviral in Nigeria. He is a member of the Nigerian National Vaccine Plan (NNVC). In addition, Dr. Agwale currently chairs the scientific committee of the Nigerian HIV Vaccine and Microbicide Advocacy group (NHVMAG).

Dr. Agwale has represented Nigeria and Africa at various local and international scientific fora including assignment as temporary adviser to WHO/UNAIDS. In 2004 and 2005, Dr. Agwale served on the European Commission Framework Programme 6 (FP6) grant review committee and is currently a member of the European HIV Vaccine Special Working Group. He is a recipient of several scholarships, fellowships and grants from reputable organizations around the world. Currently, he is the principal investigator of the International Partnership for Microbicides (IPM) funded HIV incidence study in Nigeria in preparation for a phase III clinical trial of microbicides. He has also authored and co-authored numerous noteworthy publications.

And I'm sure there are hundreds of Nigerian experts like this man across the globe. UK for example has a lot of Nigerians working in the medical research industry.

She's likely not afflicted with ebola.. We'll know when the result is out. That'll teach her a lesson about defaulting on such matters of public health and national bio-security.

I feel your pain bro, what can we do. When appointments depends solely on who-know-who, and If you have no connection you can't have your way. That how people like that find their ways to high ranking and highly demanding positions like that...we call it 'sorting', it always start from the grass root by the way.

SirShymex, I like the way you think. we will get there someday.

Listen Igbo people will not listen, hear, they will not hear! All nah business! Business !! And they don't involve a business that is legitimate but illegitimate business, all because of money, now, they've contacted disease that money will can't cure?

shizzle11: stewpid woman, may God punish you

is not her fault, she was missing her family.

johnstar: choi, dis disease u ppl ar spreading, deriz God oooo

Do u hv to play with God name?

suco50: Watch it closely bro, you'll find out the real virus in Patrick Sawyerr is the one at work; Sawyerr too was quarantined but still managed to travel to Ngr. Victims now are acting like vampires!

I stand to be corrected,I don't think he was quarantined,but was only placed under surveillance.

That was fast . 21 already?

You guys should refrain from this tribal BS.

she was.positive

duni04:
she probably used the same equipment she used in treating Patrick sawyer to treat the pregnant woman. The nurse wasn't showing any symptoms so she couldn't have given the pregnant lady directly

Thank you.

This ebola is spreading like wildfire because Nigerians are not taking it seriously. We joke sbout everything and jeopardise our health. We were blaming the liberian and laying curses on him for bringing the dreaded disease into our country. But here is a Nigerian nurse who ought to know the health implications of mobility without restraints and who the gov averred was under quarantine travelled and has come in contact with so many people. For the sake of all of us. lets hope the experimental drug works.

Swash042: Out of d remaining 35 states.....why is it my own State.... God y?

How dare u a human being ask The Lord God Almigthy Why?

STFU! If u got nothin to say!

gebest: is not her fault, she was missing her family.

Sure.....so she went home to guarantee that they join her.....in the after life.

If she was well enough to travel to Enugu and back to Lagos again, it’s extremely unlikely that she infected anyone there with Ebola, since it can only be transferred when an individual becomes sick. That’s why, up until this day, the only confirmed cases are those who had direct contact with Mr Sawyer; WHILE HE WAS SICK.

With that said, the person most at risk, would have been her husband, if in the unlikelihood she did infect anyone.

The heart of the average blackman is wicked and cruel. if infected he would like to transmit it to others , we heard of what sawyer did knowing full well he had contact with a victim. I think the pictures of those infected should be publicised and movement , activities should be stopped for sometime. you can't be sure the number of people a victim has had contacts wth before being quarantined.

Ebola spreading, boko haram bombing, soldiers dying and yet Jonathan cannot resign, who owns this country and for the nurse,if you are positive and spread this deadly disease, posterity will remember you.

just wondering how d nurse is feeling right now.
