Lagos Church Takes Measures To Curb Ebola Spread!

As the Federal Ministry of Health and the various state governments, especially the Lagos State Government embarks on measures to check the spread of Ebola epidemic in Nigeria...



...one of such measures being the compulsory use of hand sanitizers in public places, to prevent the virus being contacted from such vulnerable environments. 

Health Minister: Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu

Lagos State Gov. Raji Fashola

The House On The Rock -Lagos with its preventive measures, is one church that have in accordance with her excellence pace setter custom, proved that this epidemic can be curtailed and eradicated, when all hands (government and private bodies) are on deck. 

Our correspondent recall a thought provoking conversation between two individuals in an office he visited penultimate week in Victorian Island- Lagos.

The conversation below:
1st man: Man this ebola outbreak nah wahooo, every where you go now, nah so dem go wan take sanitizer baff you, but it is really bringing out a health conscious culture in us.
2nd man: No be small thing, if we continue this way, in no time, the epidemic will be effectively eradicated.
1st man: Even for my church (HOTR) they positioned hand - sanitizers at strategic entrance points, so you can't get into the church without first sanitizing your hands. As a way of ensuring the disease does not spread through the church.
2nd man: Wao, that is a good one, really commendable.... i think all churches should do that, no be for my church..... where them go tell you 'it's not your portion'.....(signs) 

Lol "it's not your potion"....well....in our snoopy manner, RV couldn't  help but go to the church to see for ourselves; what was witnessed we must confess blew our minds....

Hand sanitizers strategically positioned on all entrance into the building, alongside volunteer health workers and ushers making sure that worshipers make use of the sanitizers as they enter the hall ways..... a measure RV thought  is worth emulating.

Photos of some places where hand sanitizers were placed in the Church lobby:

This should be one of the roles of the church and private organizations in the society, and is really commendable. 

Not just telling people "it's not your potion", while we take no practical steps to check a challenge, we have to take preventive measures....in such way, we make the society a better place.
