DELTA STATE EBOLA DON REACH PORTHARCOURT OOOOO.
Minister of
health, professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, yesterday Thursday comfirm say two
people for PortHarcourt, Rivers State, don get Ebola Virus Disease
(EVD). This na the first time wen Ebola case don dey confirm outside
Lagos since Liberian-
American Patrick Sawyer introduce the virus to Nigeria on July 20th.
Lagos State Health Commissioner Jide Idris, cum yarn during one news
conference on the Ebola virus for Lagos,on Tuesday, Aug 26, 2014. Say
Nigeria's health ministry don report two more cases of Ebola as e bring
the country's total number of Ebola case to 15. Officials come also yarn
on Thursday say one man wey dey work for the Economic Community of West
African States,say d man recover from an Ebola infection without
treatment, but d doctor wey treat d man die last week from the virus.
The big question now be say,why d ECOWAS man nor die and d doctor die?
Also how many other patients,friends,family members d doctor come in
contact with before e break down?
Now d country don ascertain say na Six people nai don die from Ebola for Nigeria during this latest outbreak.
The World Health Organization (WHO) report dis Thursday say the virus
don kill atleast 1,550 people and infected more than 3,000. The majority
of dis cases na Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. The WHO also talk on
Wednesday wen pass so say, 80 people dey monitoring unit for Ebola for
Democratic Republic of Congo for anoda fresh outbreak wey nor dey
related to the one wey dey West Africa. Na for here i for shout say,e
don burst.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID) dey make provision to send anoda additional $5 million to fight
the Ebola outbreak for West Africa.
The new funding dem suppose use
am for health equipment, training of health care workers and support of
public outreach campaigns. But we dey fear make one Nigerian nor divert
Nigeria own,if d money come. Becos the first money wey USAID committe
enter Africa nearly $20 million to combat Ebola since wen dem first
announce d first outbreak for March i nor understand becos d tin dey
spread dey go. Na shortage of protective equipment nai be one of the
major factor wey dey contribute to the epidemic of dis Ebola issue.
Now as this Ecowas man don carry e self travel from Lagos to Porthacourt
go meet e immediate family we believe say e don contact many persons
including he wife wey Federal Government don place under Quarantine and
he children,including he immediate family members,friends and relatives
before e collapse to meet the health officials within the Hospital wey e
check enter. Most of dis pipo don contact am and dem don transfer to
others also before dis issue of Porthacourt Ebola come out. From the
Minister of Health dem don succeed to assemble over 70 persons including
the man wife wey test positive under deir survellance.
We dey look
am e dey go. If we sidon close mouth we nor go know when e go reach our
door step. Federal Government don decide say make no school open till
October becos dem dey fear the large number of students wey fit contact
dis Ebola if e venture enter Schools. Even as Government dey yarn for
air say make Schools nor resume yet,them still dey yarn say na only ONE
Ebola case nai remain for deir custody due to say dem don curb the many
cases wey dem get. With this i cum see say dem don dey wan Politicize
Ebola issue again,as we dey get new cases and patients dey break d
security units dey transport d virus to other locations,dem dey tell us
say make we nor fear.
Nigeria’s Minister for Health, Onyebuchi
Chukwu, yesterday confirm d report about the death of a doctor wey go
treat one diplomat wey contact Ebola from a Liberian-American, Patrick
Sawyer. The doctor die for Port Harcourt, capital of the oil-producing
Rivers State. The minister yesterday confirm say the diplomat contact

the late doctor. WAHALA FOR PH.
This na wetin the Minister yarn;

facilities nor dey quite ready to contain Ebola at the moment but some
American experts and federal Health workers and WHO health workers dey
town,however dem dey train some Doctors and other healthworkers and dem
dey help out with contact tracing etc.
We dey beg the general
public,most especially for Delta State here say we need to be on the
watch, as some victims fit dey try to avoid to go clinic because them
nor want make dem quarantine dem. Ebola na very deadly virus and we need
to help the government spot out possible case so dat we go dey free
