Fear wont save you from catching the Ebola virus...only FACTS will!
The Lagos state government worried about the scourge of the Ebola virus in Lagos state has started an initiative to help educate its citizens.
Lagos is one big place and the only way to reach every one is via an online platform and that is why the website http://www.lagosebolaresponse.org/ was created.
The website has all the Ebola facts you need to know and how you can reach their team for help...This works and is simple!

ReplyDeleteFantastic initiative. Let he who has ears ear, and he with eyes should read ooo. This is a preventive measure that we shouldn't dis countenance. Ignorance can be deadly, in this case, Ebola. Hian
DeleteGood job Stella. Keep the flag flying. God save us all.
DeleteGood initiative but what about the ordinary Nigerian who has no access to Internet? What BBC strategies is Govt putting in place to curb this epidemic. Does Nigeria not have a public health sector? They can do better.smh
DeleteAnonymous 1:42am by public sector u mean the ministry of health or what? As it is there is no cure for it, what the state or federal govt can do is to get the infected into a solitary confinement.. which would be arranged. Matter of fact the isolation center is being processed to better keep them away from the general public. I think it's a step in the right direction as this came as a rude shock to the entire nation. So no need to condemn the efforts just yet. It's a process. At least they've been able to trace a few victims from the airport etc. What we should be asking the world at large and not just Nigeria or the state, is the possible cure, or at least something to reduce the virus in d immune system to avoid death. It's an intricate venture I must say.
DeleteFor the ordinary Nigerian who isn't Internet inclined etc. The govt is running an hourly jingle on radio stations, TV, motor parks, market places etc. To better inform market women, motor park staff and the likes. Of course in a language that they understand. Demonstrations are being given explicitly for a better understanding to the minorities on how best to avoid the virus.
DeleteAm off to ajalli,this is serious
ReplyDeletepls God grant all scientists (using Maurice Iwu as a point of contact to every scientist and researcher across the globe) insight, wisdom, vision, grace. ..to curb this Egyptian disease. IJN, AMEN
ReplyDeleteThis is good. They need all the help they can get to prevent the spread of that virus.
ReplyDeleteNigerians also need to educate its citizens and create awareness. I watched on Channels yesterday, a reporter was asking Lagosians randomly about their awareness of Ebola. Most of them said they have never heard about the virus. Imagine!
Massive campaign needs to be done.
It is well.

ReplyDeleteHow many market women visits the website
ReplyDeleteOur health workers! Goodness. Our barrier care in Nigeria is so poor.
ReplyDeleteOther States Govt should know that some contacts on that plane interacted wt other citizens on arriving the country. They could have panicked and gone hiding in fear.
They could be hiding in other states. This isn't a Lagos issue! It's an issue of National epidemic.
