Have you heard of Lassa fever?...you need to educate yourself on what this is...its viral in Ebonyi state oooooo!!!....OMG this is some serious ish!!
Blog visitor in the health sector wants to use 'our' blog to alert everyone...please stay alert!
''This e-mail is an emergency! There is fire on the mountain of Ebonyi State.
I work in the health sector of this State and I wish to use your blog to alert the world that NOTHING is being done to contain the latest Lassa Fever outbreak in the State.
I would also like to state here that the outbreak just like Cholera, started since last year in the Governor's LGA (Ikwo) and the government has been doing everything possible to hide it and turn a blind eye to this.
The only reason some part of Nigeria heard about the Lassa Fever outbreak is because it has started affecting doctors, nurses and health care workers at the Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki, a Federal Teaching Hospital that lack common theater gowns (I am not exaggerating). Just this past Friday, 16th May 2014, Four (4) more health workers have been rushed to the treatment facility in Irua, Benin for treatment.
Are we all going to wait until our children in school start catching it before we speak out? As it is, It is airborne and so I am also afraid of going to public places like the markets.
Please Stella, use your blog power to lend a voice to the unheard voices in Ebonyi State. The governor is pretty useless here and every other person is interested in enriching their pockets. We need for WHO to come and set up an emergency treatment and testing center ASAP.''
Nigeria is doomed... ok look, we are suffering frm boko haram, HIV, ebola virus, useless goverment and nw this, only God and gud hearted individuals can save us..... God help Nigeria....

ReplyDeleteThis is sad. My Brother worked in this same hospital up till 2009. I recall that there was an outbreak of this same disease that killed a Doctor. The Ministry of Health should please rise up to their responsibility.
ReplyDeleteOh my God!
ReplyDeleteGod punish that old pot belied looter Elechi.
He's clueless n they keep voting him in.
Why o why?
So you are from Ebonyi,the most backward of all igbo states.
DeleteIrene ooo its time to act this is your forte
ReplyDeleteOh my God! Dis z serious n it needs immedite attentn. The govt shld do somtin b4 it spreads 2 oda parts of d country
ReplyDeleteOne of the most useless states In Nigeria where the Gov lives In another state! Please, hold your LGA and state govt responsible! Federal govt cannot do everything...all these peeps should start being accountable for their activities starting with councillors! May God help us! $exyD
ReplyDeleteIf the above is true, government at all levels in Nigeria is a huge and expensive joke. Must we always adopt a fire brigade approach to our problems? Wait till they become uncontrollable like Book Haram before we act? I guess we deserve the leaders we get. After all, they'll still vote the old man - Martin Elechi to the senate come 2015. God bless every Nigerian out there surviving despite the odds.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my son&I out of this country. Thank God 4 d constant light supply in my area ds past month,hp it lasts dou. Are ds politicians blind to d Western countries A-tech facilities&care 4 their citizens? I tire ooo.
ReplyDeleteAsin....nepa has been do nice. thank God o
DeleteIs there no vaccine for it? Hian!
ReplyDeleteGod should save us in this country oooooooooooo..
ReplyDeleteI hope they won't wait until it get's out of hand before they react as usual .
ReplyDeleteLike i mentioned in the previoua post, WHO should come to their aid as fast as they can.They usually have representatives around, and i believe if this was reported on time, they would have come over to that zone. Its a pity the state was trying to hide such deadly disease. Edo people cried out and they helped them put up the facility. Since Ebonyi is plagued with this, the ministry of health should do something about it. I dont know why they could not contain it till it got to this level. We are still on BH case, na lassa fever we go come add join too?

ReplyDeletelassa fever has raised its ugly head again in Ebonyi. The minister og health is from ebonyi. I hop he remembrrs dt he used 2 wk in dt hospital. Its tym he intervens cos drs and oda health personnel ar dynin in Irua Edo state o
ReplyDeleteUseless governor with useless commissioners that are only good in chasing everything in skirts. This is an emergency and they had better respond with prompt action else the blood of every citizen of Ebonyi that dies of that lassa fever is on their heads. Wicked nd insensitive government.
ReplyDeleteHis second son is as stingy as a dried up super glue. His pregnant broadcaster girlfriend looks hungry nd unkempt and drives a jalopy. That Elechi's voltron, Chinedu Ogah should rise up to the occasion. It is not just selling jobs and appointive positions in the state to the high bidder.
ReplyDeleteYES,THE POSTER IS RIGHT,,EBONYI HAS THE WORST POLITICAL GOVERNOR IN HISTORY OF NIGERIA. BT SOMEHOW AM NT USED TO BLAMING THE MAN WHO ABOLISH 'KINETICS'AS USELESS COURSE IN THE UNIVERSITY.THE GOVERNOR IS OVER 80YRS SO HIS MENTAL STATE SHOULDN'T BE NORMAL.IMAGINE ONCE A COMMISIONER OF AGRICULTURE IN THEN EAST CENTRAL STATE STILL IN POLITICS NW.COMPENSATED AS AN AGITATOR TO THE CREATION OF THE STATE STILL VYING FOR SENATE. HE DOES NOTHING THAN GIVE HIS OLDER SON (JR GOV'NOR) AS HE'S ADDRESSED THE WHOLE CONTRACTS OF THE STATE TO PLUNDER. ITS A PITY AV BEEN THERE..THE EXPERIENCE OF THE INDIGINES IS NO DIFFERENCE TO CHIBOK & HE'S GOT TUGS IN THE LEAD OF ONE CHINEDU OGAH WHO CRUSHES ANYTHING THAT IS NOT OF THE GOVERNOR OR HIS LIKES.TYRANNY IN EBONYI STATE.NOBODY,NT EVEN OTHER POLITICIANS DARE TALK OR GOSSIP TO THE HEARING OF OGAH WHO ONCE SLAP THE PRESENT DAY DEPUTY GOVERNOR WHEN HE WAS STATE CHAIRMAN OF PDP.OGAH, NO PORTFOLIO THEN XCEPT NOW I HEARD HE WAS MADE YOUTHS CHAIRMAN UNDER PDP UMBRELLA..PLS HELP & SHOUT OUT TO WHOM/AUTHORITY IT MAY CONCERN ELSE IT WLL ESCALATE TO OTHER PARTS OF THE STATES.
ReplyDeleteWHO came to Ikwo LGA late last year over the Cholera outbreak and the state commissioner for health told them it was food poisoning. They also came a second time on the Lassa Fever outbreak and I really don't know the lies they were told. As donor agencies, they can't really do much without authorization from the State Ministry of Health.
ReplyDeleteMy cry is for the world to hear and come to the aid of the poor and voiceless in Ebonyi State.
Poster.
Pls lassa fever is not airborne,dummy.
