The two Americans who were cured , i said cured , not healed of the ailment , never went to a prayer house or believed in any pastor , but to the efficacy of doctors , Mbaka and his ilks are in to make the ignorant believe them , to make matters worse , i was jostled from sleep , from a close relation , that its from CNN, i just laughed , that such issue can never be aired on CNN, SHE TOLD ME , THAT'S HOW I ALWAYS LIKE TO ARGUE , , well this trend of panic will pass away soonest .

Well said Juliet! Our medical researchers should come together, busy finding a remedy to the deadly viral disease (Ebola).
Government should show more seriousness about it as well , provide funds for research and communications, even to the grassroot.
We all as Nigerians have roles to play in combating this. May God heal our land, amen.

Sad continent. Nothing worse than lazy hypocrites . Better off in the slave trade, at least we know master would get the slaves some serum so the slaves won't die off on the farm. But hey, ain't we still waiting on master to send us some good old serum to tidy up our mess? Sounds to me like modernized slavery. Stupid set of people, and the ones here too call themselves LIBers, always tagging themselves like dogs, it's a damn shame.

Hmmm...

* Someone sent it to me and she almost felt disrespected at my argument with her abt the source of the info. Later agreed to pass it on; tho I didn't believe it.. Felt there was no harm in trying whatever, so far it's not detrimental to one's health.

Some people are seriously sicko!

Anonymous said...

I feel your grief miss Juliet, but have you taken your time to think thoroughly before drawing your conclusion. To think that people are joking, I don't agree with you. You see people are scared, and their fears have overwhelmed them. People on receiving those broadcast starts sending to their friends and loved ones, which to me does not sound like joblessness.
Yes people are making a joke out of the whole situation, do u think they are doing it because they wanted to??? Its all out of fear ma. They are trying to put smiles or cajole their minds or providing a escape route for their dare lives.
I have seen people that can't pray, fasting, people that don't believe in any deity, calling unto God. What am I saying??? All these things are born out of fear.
You don't expect me an artist to go to the lab, to get some cure for Ebola, what I can do, is that which I will do.
May God help us all. Lets all put hand on deck to salvage the situation. Lets keep healthy environments and adhere to the do and don'ts. Ebola was once alive in the 70s and back again?? The same way it came, it will go back the same. Those of us that can't enter labs lets pray for the success of those in the lab. Tanx. 1love.

Yes, Ebola is real and its killing fellow Africans but that shouldn't stop us from living our lives. People joke using all sorts; it’s just words spoken to amuse people. Actors, Musicians etc. act and say a lot of uncultured stuffs to make us laugh and this sometimes help people forgot their sorrows.

I don’t think we need sentimental expressions to prove we are holier than thou or don't depict reality. Today in Nigeria, we watch dancers act like imbeciles and we laugh, applaud, give money etc. because it’s funny to us. Now my question, how come we don’t condemn this act knowing that we have people with Down syndrome living around us?

Please lets be real!

Unknown said...

..Did you know out of ignorance, Joseph brothers sold him to his promised land.. what are mine saying; the Lady who say she jokingly put up the 'Salt and water' stuff actually did a good job, as a medical microbiologist, I can categorically tell you that warm water and salt bath can bring down microbial loads on your skin, thereby rejuvenating your Skin antibody in order to fight against further attack by any antigens, and drinking some of it also can lessen the risk of you contracting this Viral disease called Ebola, if it has mistakenly entered your oesophagus etc. I am not saying it is the 'Cure' No but what I am saying here is that: it reducing your risk of contracting it and also boost your immune system. (NKW) No Knowledge is a Waste, Thank you.

I wonder why some people think they are relevant or have a say to the public. A fool like Juliet will wake in the morning and believes she could just tweet any rubbish without doing a background check and it has become your hubby I mean you Juliet to keep exposing your dirty stinking mouth to get attention. The lady has apologized for her false info so you do not need to crucify her here so the world will see that you are a saint besides the more the joke the more the awareness please use your brain and stop seeking attention

I tire self. Our governments should tell us what they are doing about looking for a cure while we are still begging /forcing the U.S for drugs. And they should please not tell us they have set up a committee. Have the various Ministers of Health been discussing amongst themselves about pulling resources together to kick-start research and ?Pharmacology? We say we are smart and intelligent people.I hope we really know where we stand in the whole of the world now. We low, we low.

On a very serious note, we should stop joking about this issue and learn to take serious things serious. A lot of people may not be able to separate joke from the truth and end up being carefree and exposing themselves to this deadly virus. It is so sad when members of the media who should be sensitizing people (up to the grass level) as using that time to fool around.
