Ebola Wahala: No More Handshakes In Imo State

The Imo State Government has warned against handshake and other forms of close contacts to check the spread of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).

The State Commissioner of Health, Dr Edward Ihejirika, made this known yesterday while speaking with journalists in Owerri, the state capital, on precautionary measures taken to check the spread of the virus.

He said avoiding a handshake could
prevent the spread of the disease, adding that the virus could be contracted through handshake with an infected person.

Ihejirika also urged the residents to avoid travelling to areas where Ebola has been detected.

The commissioner said the Rochas
Okorocha administration had begun the distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to hospitals.

He also said health workers and care- givers were at a greater risk of contracting Ebola because of their close contacts with infected persons, especially during treatment.

Ihejirika said the government was planning a sensitization tour of the 27 local government areas of the state to educate the people about the disease.

See What US President, Barack Obama Has To Say About Ebola Cure

US President, Barack Obama said
yesterday August 6th that it’s too early to send the unapproved experimental drug, Zmapp serum to Africa where the outbreak of the Ebola virus has recorded more deaths and threatens human existence.

Zmapp serum has proven to be effective in treating Ebola cases as two American doctor infected with the virus in Liberia are currently being treated in the US and are said to have improved after the use of the drug.

According to AFP, President Obama
suggested that affected African countries should focus more on building strong public infrastructures.

“I think we have to let the scientist guide us. And I don’t think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful”.

On whether he would help fast track the approval of the drug should medical experts conclude that the drug is effective, President Obama said;

“I think it’s premature for me to say that because I don’t have enough information. I don’t have enough data right now to offer an opinion on that.”

While stressing that the deadly virus is not airborne, Obama said

“the countries affected are the first to admit that what’s happened here is the public health systems have been overwhelmed. They weren’t able to identify and then isolate cases quickly enough. As a consequence, it spread more rapidly than has been typical with the periodic Ebola outbreak that occurred previously.”

He said the US is currently working with their European partners as well as the World Health Organization to provide resources to contain the virus.

Unbelievable: Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu Rubbishes President Jonathan

A former governor of Lagos state and national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu has faulted the style of leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan. He describes the President as a confused man who is unfit and incompetent to rule Nigeria.

Tinubu who spoke during the rally held for the re-election of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, in Osogbo, said the President does not understand what it means to govern and therefore knows nothing about good governance.

He wondered why the President would deploy soldiers for an election when they should have been used to stop the killing of Nigerians in the North.

He said, “President Goodluck Jonathan does not understand what it means to govern. He knows nothing about good governance. He’s confused.

“How can he bring soldiers to Osun
because of election and claimed to be protecting youth corps members, when he should have used that force to stop the killing of our people in the North?”

“People of Osun must not collect bribe from Peoples Democratic Party. We have offered you better life, good jobs will be offered the youths and we will maintain the register of progress in this state.

“APC is the party for the masses with the capacity to care for the people. I want you to know that the FG is using your money to pay the soldiers and the police brought here. Don’t run away from them so that you can protect your votes. If they fail in their duty to provide security for you, we will  protest their oppression. They cannot chase us away from our votes.”

Before He left Liberia, he shared a photo in which he was wearing a mask and captioned it:

“Monrovia, unfinished biz (BUSINESS); Leavin(g) tonite(tonight). Nt (Not) ashamed to admit. Tis ish(issue) scares the Jesus outta me. #Ebola!!!!”

Jim Iyke was heavily criticised for his comments and attitude over the very sensitive issue.

In his apology statement he says:

“May I humbly apologize if my comments on Ebola – based on fear – were taken out of context.”  The last thing I wanted to do was to alarm anyone.

My heart goes out to all the families who have been affected by the Ebola virus –those who have lost their lives or loved ones, those who are still bravely fighting the disease and all of the communities who are battling to keep the infection under control. You are all in my prayers.

As I TRAVEL constantly across continents, most recently USA, Senegal, Liberia, Ghana, Gambia, I have been screened where and when necessary along with the other passengers and I believe it is the responsibility of every citizen to be vigilant and help contain the outbreak by following the advice of the local and international medical professionals and government officials”.

Jim Iyke.

Ebola Update : Lagos begins search for 27 secondary contacts

According to Punch, Lagos State Government has commenced an intensive search for 27 secondary contacts, who might have had contacts with doctors, nurses and health workers, who attended to the late Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, at a Lagos private hospital.

Sawyer, who was infected with the deadly Ebola virus in his native Liberia, died in the Obalende, Lagos-based hospital penultimate Friday, four days after he was admitted to the hospital.

The 40-year-old Sawyer was in Nigeria to attend a conference in Calabar, Cross River State. Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, who spoke in Lagos on Wednesday, said the government was also planning a life insurance cover for doctors and other health professionals, who volunteered to work with experts monitoring and testing suspected cases of the Ebola Virus Disease.

Idris, who spoke at a press briefing, said the government was presently facing a shortage of experts, doctors and health workers needed to attend to those that had been infected and those that were going to be isolated for monitoring.

He said, “We will provide a life insurance for any doctor, nurse and other experts that want to work with isolated patients. We need more hands, because we have moved from the stage of primary contacts to secondary contacts.

“We are tracing all the people that had contact, not just with (the late) Sawyer, but those that had contacts with the health workers and others that have died.

“We have identified 27 secondary contacts already, we tracing the addresses of others.

“It is a tedious task, because we will also be taking their blood samples for testing and we will be monitoring them.

“We are appealing to the doctors on strike to resume work and set aside their grievances. No doubt, this situation is a dire emergency and our health professionals must recognise that.

“It will be morally unjustifiable for us to call for help from the international community if our own experts and doctors are not working.

“The bottom line is that we cannot provide the requisite expertise needed to manage these confirmed and probable cases.”

Idris said it would also be evacuating tuberculosis patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Yaba, Lagos, to another hospital to accommodate more suspected and isolated cases.

We have also confirmed that the female doctor whom was infected with Ebola died today in Lagos state.

Exclusive: Davido Explains Why He Is Mad At Wizkid

Davido has finally opened up on his alleged ‘beef’ with Wizkid.

While speaking with Sahara TV, Davido said ‘It’s not beef at all..but I’m the type of person if I feel something… to me everything you do, you don’t hit your brother down’

He explained further that the saga began after Wizkid made a comment about his NY concert, which he believed was directed at him.

‘This is the first time I’m saying this but the only reason I was upset was because of the NY concert. I was even going to tweet like you know ‘make sure everybody turn up for my brother Wizkid’s concert’ and he threw a shade like that. I’m not going to take that…that’s why I went and said what I said’ , he said.

"But it’s all cool, at the end of the day, we got to keep it on the music. Shout out to him. I’m still a big fan. It was never nothing but don’t throw a shade at me… especially when we were on the flight earlier. By the way, check the numbers on my last concert. Let’s leave it like that’ , he concluded.

We hope Wizkid would open up too.

Ebola: Striking Doctors Offer To Treat Ebola Patients

Striking doctors in Lagos State have
volunteered to join the team of experts managing patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Yaba, Lagos.

The chairman, Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr. Tope Ojo, who said this at a press briefing in Lagos on Tuesday, added that strike would not stop doctors in the state from attending to persons suspected to have contracted the Ebola virus.

Ojo said about 30 of its members had volunteered to join seven of the Ebola Emergency Response and Management Committee working on the prevention and control of the disease at the IDH centre in Yaba.

He said, “Strike or no strike, we must respond to emergencies. Our doctors are at Mainland Hospital, Yaba, were isolated contacts are being monitored. There are seven committees working on the management of the disease at the centre in Lagos, which our members are part of.

“But the committee, where we are having challenges getting volunteers, is case management. This are the people that work directly with confirmed cases.

“Look at the protective measures that doctors in Liberia and Guinea wear. They are well protected, yet some of them still caught it. Our doctors are worried about the danger it poses to their lives and they need to be reassured.

“Striking doctors offer to treat Ebola patientsWe understand their fears and we are making moves to confirm the level of preparedness of the government for doctors.”

He informed that the infected doctor, who is presently on admission at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, was responding to treatment. 

“We know that the infected doctor is stable, however, the matron is in a critical condition. But everybody, including the experts from the World Health Organisation, is doing all they can,” he said.
