FG Says 21 Suspected Cases Of Ebola Reported In Enugu

by Channels Television  
Ebola DoctorsTwenty-one persons are suspected to have contracted the Ebola Virus Disease and are under surveillance  in Enugu State,  South east  Nigeria.

After a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday, the Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, told reporters that one of the nurses, who had contact with the index patient, late Patrick Sawyer, had traveled to Enugu State contrary to instructions and had had contact with the 21 persons.
According to Mr Maku, 198 Nigerians have been traced to have contacted the virus. While 177 are in Lagos, 21 persons in Enugu are being watched.
The FEC devoted this week’s meeting to the efforts being made to combat the Ebola Virus which entered Nigeria some 23 days ago and had been declared a National Emergency.
At the meeting, the Minister of Health, Dr Onyebuchi Chukwu, told the council that Nigerians had been on the alert even before late Sawyer entered Lagos with the virus.
He told reporters that he was in touch with all the Commissioners for Health and that the Governors of the 36 states and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory had been called for a meeting with the President, an indication that the government was taking the case serious.
He said a committee had been set up to handle the claims by many Nigerians that they have a cure for the ailment and called on Nigerians not to panic, as the government was in touch with the rest of the world on the possible cure for the disease.
The Nigerian government had requested for an untested drug, Zmapp, believed to be efficient in the treatment of Ebola virus from the United States but had not gotten any concrete response.
On Tuesday, the World Health Organization supported the use of untested drugs for the treatment of the disease, which the Nigerian government said its outbreak was a National Emergency.
As part of efforts to contain the disease, which had claimed three lives in Lagos State, President Goodluck Jonathan had set up an intervention plan with 1.9 billion Naira approved for the control of the disease.
The Federal Government had urged those who had primary contact with the index patient to report themselves so that they could be quarantined.

Leaked s3x video of Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal & people's reaction

Image
Netizens are feasting on what look to be s3x video recordings of famous Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal and an unknown male. However, based on her Instagram activity an hour or two after the clips were revealed, the actress seemed indifferent, continuing to post material completely unrelated to the news. Her most recent post, approximately an hour ago, was on her involvement in the film 'Chameleon,' which drew over 6,000 comments within an hour of being published. The majority of the comments, predictably, focused on the sex video rather than the film. Some made light of the sex tape in the comments area, while others reached out to the actress in sympathy. Mimi Orjiekwe, Nina Ivy, Bobrisky, Moet Abebe, and a slew of other celebrities sent emojis and nice words to the actress. Moyo didn't technically respond to anybody, but her previous post definitely says something about her mental condition. "The only magic I still believe in is love," Moyo Lawal wrote. “And if yo...
