call it what you want but this epidemic is propaganda, to panic clueless Africans into being used for America's medical experiments like lab animals are usually used in the US

BadBoy25: the headline read "US commends Nigeria" and yet these animals came out and attacked the US for commending Nigeria . what a bunch of annoying animals !!
I just don't like that ignorant attitude , it makes me want to bring them down .

Their commendation count for nothing.

Their citizen brought a highly infectious disease to our country.

They apparently withheld a hand of help when it was needed.

They claimed Zmapp was unsafe on humans when their citizens was not infected.

They made an about face to use the same unsafe, untested drug on their two citizens.

They claimed only those doses used on their citizens existed.

They went ahead to send another dose to a white Spanish priest.

They claimed they sent the remaining doses to Liberia.

Pray, how do they know that another American or another white person will not be infected again?

Where will the Zmapp dose come from in the event that another American is infected tomorrow.

A Nigerian scientists claimed he 'discovered' a formula to combat Ebola Disease to the ground.

Americans came out forcefully to condemn the claim, labeling the formula a pesticide, while acknowledging that it has been used to treat ailments for decades.

These inconsistencies make the commendation a hogwash.

These are the reasons for the outrage.

America should apologize for what they did through their citizen Sawyer not fake commendation.

We don't need their commendations.

soludo93: They said that our nano silver is a pesticide. They are congratulating us for the impact of the same drug they despised. If we Africans can look within for solutions to our challenges, the westerners are bound to depend on us for their survival.

I am getting tired of hearing this "our" nanosilver.
Nigeria didn't manufacture nanosilver.
Nanosilver was not said to be used for the patients.
Chukwu has publicly admitted that nanosilver didn't meet the requirements to be used.
Good supportive and symptomatic management was what helped the patients.

all4naija: You should point finger at your smelling self not America that is trying to help!

How did they try to help?

We want to hear.

They have been providing assistance and financial aid through USAID for Nigerian health sector. They give you HIV/AIDS anti-retroviral drugs, supply medical equipment,etc. Now they have been putting in place information to help understand Ebola and explain the reason of not giving the Zmapp experimental drug due to small production available for supply you should learn to appreciate other people's effort or bugger off still!

annoymous: All of you yabbing USA, what would you have USA do? They said they don't have enough of the serum yet. Is it their fault we don't have any tangible research projects here. See how long malaria has been ravaging us, yet no ground breaking discovery from Nigeria since forever. Artemether we are using is from China abi where again sef. Our problem is not USA. Our problem is us. Let us stop all this displacement.

no offence ,but ur post is crap ,as a nation u can't possess evrytn ,ur so-called USA gets oil frm oda countries why cnt dey also develop dier own oil? Why r dey always after ppls resources in exchange of wt dey av, yes we av our issues but not helpn odas in need cos of dier flaws is not an excuse.....they r thieves ,PERIOD !!!

BadBoy25: what ebola medication did a nigerian doctor invent?
you are an idiiot and should be severely stomped on and shot on the head while gasping for air.

SEE HATRED RUNNING IN SOME VEIN

jangirova: In spite of the fact that our 'cocky doctors' are out of the system, we are able to record this feat . Don't be deceived by their propagandas, they have been overrated in this country especially by past govt. GEJ I guessed realised this & wants to treat their Bleep.- up.

Oh, 'foreign doctors' were imported to treat the patients?
And how many doctors were needed by the way to 'record this feat' in the whole of Nigeria?

Zmapp is not even being sent to Nigeria and so how are Nigerians being used as labrats?
Companies make money freely in the US cashing in on economic opportunities of the times and how does that become a US govt conspiracy??

annoymous:

I guess that makes you intelligent. My bad about snowden releasing wikileaks.

your logic is interesting. Believe what you will but all these rants about USA this, USA that is just being delusional IMHO. Nigeria is no russia, cuba, north korea or even Iraq.

Must you point fingers? remember that when you point a finger, 4 are pointing back at you

A 'mad' American brought Ebola Virus to Nigeria.

That's more 'delusional'.

Bros, person de make this oil for farm?? Abeg, I fit collect the oil seed from una make i take go plant for Bornu state and alleviate them from their wretched poverty.

no offense taken but your post is way 'crappier' - USA is one of the biggest producers of oil only behind Saudi arabia and Russia. tell me, how do you develop oil? so USA sent ebola to Nigeria to drill our oil abi? I don't understand how they could have helped. This is an experimental drug that had never been administered on humans - do you think they had a stash somewhere waiting for this to happen. Do you know that Zmapp is not entirely american and that two experimental drugs were combined, one from a canadian company?

I hv a problem with the USA branding our drug nano silver pesticide. !! are they mad?

don't be so naive.

Because the BBC has not told you that it has sent means that it has not right?

There are many means for them to bring it into Nigeria, they can call it Nano Silver and claim Nigerian invented it. keeping observing, things would become clearer.

spot on e no possible ,dts y its nt possible to av everytn at ur disposal ....americans r just being silly here, well I will also thank dem fr dier refusal ..cos dis has woken us up.

Federal Govt didn't do the job, Lagos State Govt (fashola) did the job. As far as I know, the FG didn't take this Ebola thing serious......Kudos to the Lagos state govt.

kissinggourami:
What major achievement would be done in Nigeria that'd make you 100% content and happy with your country?

You did not get what I wrote. I said we are doing what is expected (and i'm happy about that) so they should not commend us as if it is a feat out of this world. I believe Nigeria is capable of dealing with her problems but we just have to get more serious like were are in this case. *is it clear now?*

They have zmapp,
we have Jesus

porka:

The 'dull ones' are giving you people sleepless nights.

The whole world is wrong while only you people are right. You must be from another planet with super intelligence?

heheheh "sleepless night" hahaha. No am from earth hence the challenge for the dull ones to step up.

So America has all patents for Ebola for what exactly?

What is the purpose of taking out patents if it is not to profit?

make we shine our eyes ooh!

ceejayluv:

You could go through these patent applications and see the efforts in combating ebola so far...
NB: I didn't see any application for "ebola virus" itself.

You have Jesus pastors used to collect money from you during church services.

u shud cover ur face in shame? .....who brot d virus to nigeria? Liberian-ghanian? ......who has d vaccine to cure d virus? Congo? ......who said a drug is a pectiside? U I suppose?...... As for the oil ..US don't av oil as a natural resource get dt into ur dumb skull,dey can only refine it or reproduce it

do you have the source of that claim?

Btw, If not the BBC, what's your reliable source .... "New Nigerian NewsPapers"??

I do not want to believe that Nairaland represents the average Nigerian...

I read through all that and didn't see where it was written that Nano Silver cured the four just released Ebola patients, why then are some hailing the yet-to-be-tested drug?

The US Ambassador gave a commendation whilst telling us to continue with what we were doing which was: Treat each symptoms as it appears and boost the immune system through food and water. We don't need ZMapp. We need to be able to do the basic things first like Uganda did. Uganda didn't use ZMapp.

If US had through their FDA branded Nano Silver as a pesticide, what has NAFDAC in return said?

Kudos to the tireless health workers.

it is more like some very sensitive nairalanders are the ones being very sensitive here.

President George W. Bush's effort on HIV/AIDS made him a hero in Africa. Africa is one of the few places Bush is celebrated due to the tremendous assistance on combating the disease.

It was his personal effort and sacrifice as a person using his position to do a people some good. We will forever be grateful for that.

Be that as it may, you would agree with me that those initiatives have been scaled down since he left in 2008.

The story is that an American was laced with a dangerous virus, 100 times more lethal than HIV, and sent to Nigeria to spread the virus among our population.

And the American government's response is to withhold the drug and just 'put up information' on why they withheld the drug (according to you).

Is that what we should be grateful for?
