I think it is time we work on the way forward as regards this deadly disease Ebola. I work for a multinational company that believes in emergency response plan. See the way the US is managing the same Ebola. Ghana, I learnt has closed her border. Your Excellency Sir this is my advice: I want Mr President to shutdown the whole nation for one week. “everybody stay where you are”
The ebola virus takes about seven days to manifest and the infested late doctor helped by alerting us of this virus. If this had happened in our general hospitals the disease would have spread without anyone knowing. Give the people one week advance notice to get food and other things needed; set-up emergency centres all over the nation (temporary points with paramedics). Then, let’s shutdown the nation for one week.
People will be asked to stay wherever they are for one whole week and if anyone fall sick within this period the paramedic will be called and they will attend to the situation. With this we will be able to curtail the spread of this disease otherwise we may lose the whole nation, if nothing is done at this crucial time. Our people are afraid and some went and hid themselves when they ought to show themselves to government in order to save others. Ignorance they say is a disease.
As per the paramedics, we can discuss with US and get assistance from them but we have to plan our strategy first and chart a way forward from here. We know you always listen to the cry of the public. God bless Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteNobody is talking plitics here fool! you can keep ur yeye APC talk to urself. dead party
DeleteGood talk. By that we will be able to isolate those that are sick of any sickness and diagnose them. We also have to shutdown our borders completely because people are fleeing from other west african country for fear of Ebola to Nigeria and some of them may have contacted the disease before arriving Nigeria. If it gets to Lagos Island Market, Niger will be finished in few days.
ReplyDeleteU ve just said ur own, but believe me the president is not a proactive president. he will never take all necessary measures to curtail the crisis. he will wait until aso rock is on fire before taken action. let us keep praying to God. b4 Patrick entered nija, mr president told us that all the health facilities in the country are prepared to handle ebola. lo and behold is it practically untrue. we are not ready at all. for how many days that Patrick was in the hospital with undetected ebola. by implication, many of the health workers have been contaminated by Patrick, the health workers among themselves and their families, the wealth workers against the patients (on admission, routine checks, visits, etc), and some of the contacts to the said hospital that already identified to ve shown symptoms, these contacts are going round some other health facilities to seek help and since that hospital is shutdown and contaminating the health workers in the other health facilities and there more patients are contaminated the more. dear,we need to quickly shutdown virtually 90% of our private and public institutions for at least 2 weeks to closely monitor the development b4 it is too late. NMA shld be persuaded to call off the strike immediately to join force to attend to the current development in the nation as patriotic nigerians. i am 85% sure mr president will not take appropriate actions since he find it very dificult to learn from other nations and slow to adapt. let us pray more for the nation and mr president to wake up and be freed from the hands of the bad guys around him. they will never tell him the truth but keep telling him that ''the situation is under control'', and he will without critically analyzing the situation will a sure nigerians that ''we are on top of the situation'' just like the way the miss manage the boko haram situation. may God give wisdom to our mr president and deliver him from the bad men around him.
ReplyDeleteour minister of health is the minister of doctors,we in the health sector who have worked in some of this countries as volunteers have been on the watch analysing the situation, but who cares in the ministry of health here in Nigeria,they are not accessible, at our land borders rather than government officials screening people for ebola the so-called health team and immigration officials are busy collecting #100 each,no one to monitor the strict compliance of ebola screening of in-bound travelers at seme and idi iroko borders , rather they are busy causing disharmony in the hospitals by not finding a lasting solution to our health sector problems , health workers are not trained except fellow doctors, because they believed they know it all and others are nobody.We health workers facing ebola and other deadly diseases are not trained or even ready for emergencies of his caliber,nevertheless we are ever ready if proper training is given and activated for deployment,atleast some of us have foreign experience volunteering. God help Nigeria ,God help president Jonathan to choose the right people to work with
