Update On The Deadly Ebola Disease In Lagos State

Nigeria is on alert against the possible spread of Ebola, a day after the first confirmed death from the virus in Lagos, Africa’s biggest city and the country’s financial capital.

The health ministry said on Friday that a 40-year-old Liberian man died at a private hospital in Lagos from the disease, which has now killed more than 650 people in four west African countries since January — the deadliest outbreak in history.

The victim, who worked for the Liberian government, collapsed at Lagos international airport after arriving on a flight from Monrovia via the Togolese capital Lome on Tuesday, according to the Nigerian government. He did not come into contact with the public in Lagos other than health workers before being isolated at the hospital, they added.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that efforts were being made to track down people the victim may have come into contact with on his journey from the Liberian capital.

“Contact tracing under way — Liberia, Nigeria, Togo. WHO deployed staff to Nigeria to help with the safe handling of remains,” the global health body’s African region said on its Twitter account @WHOAFRO.

Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi
Chukwu had previously said all
passengers who travelled with the victim on the Togo-based carrier ASKY from Lome had been traced.

Meanwhile an emergency operations centre has been set up, co-ordinated by  the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (CDC), and all hospitals have been equipped to handle emergencies and suspected cases, the minister added.

Borders have not been closed but health specialists have been deployed to all sea ports and international airports to identify any passengers displaying symptoms associated with Ebola. [INFNG]

2015: Chief Kriz Ijibike Ready For The Great Task Ahead

I never thought i would ever have to write a full article about a Nigerian politician. A very positive review for that matter. This was not for lack of optimism on my part, but for the lack of vision and purpose on their part. 

The reality is that a good Nigerian politician is difficult to come by. The vast majority of the politicians elected into government are self- serving, corrupt and worse of all visionless. They are corrupt nationally, regionally and locally. They are corrupt in the South and in the North, in the East and in the West.

After the era of visionary and selfless leaders like Awolowo, Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello, we are lumbered with the misfortune of having so-called usurpers who think they are doing us a favour by carrying out what they are elected to do.

Chief Kriz Ijibike an aspirant for the post of local government chairman is a departure from this filth. He is a breath of fresh air compared to many people who has held any executive position in Nigeria. He is so different that you can hardly believe he is one of us. He is genuinely and determinedly interested in changing the lives of his constituents for good.

His singular purpose in life is to bring succor to the down trodden, provide better life and a lasting legacy of superlative welfare and infrastructural facilities for his people by delivering the dividends of his democratic mandate and positively touch the lives of as many as he can with the warmth and kindness of someone who truly cares.

This is not to say he is perfect because no man is, but i can boldly say Chief Kriz Ijibike is ready to take Ukwuani Local government, Delta state and Nigeria as a whole to the next level.

Check out some pictures from delegates meeting of Ukwuani Coalition for Good Governance led by Chief Kriz Ijibike at Ijibike's  residence, Obiaruku, Ukwuani LGA Below:
