Nigeria Health Minister Expresses Confidence in Ebola Containment Measures!
There have been 12 confirmed Ebola cases in Nigeria with at least four deaths.
He said the government is stepping up efforts to secure the country's borders by screening travelers who visit Nigeria at the point of entry.
"We need to secure our airports we need to secure our land borders we need to secure our seaports so that is one strategy. Right now in Lagos, we are following up on 121 secondary contacts, but none of them is symptomatic said,"
So the fact that all of our cases have been primary contacts of index case shows that our containment plan is working."Chukwu said. "
He stated that government's efforts to contain the Ebola disease should give confidence to citizens about the bid to eradicate any further infections.
"One non-Nigerian and 11 Nigerians have been diagnosed, but out of the 12, unfortunately, we have lost four, and so we have lost four including the index case. Now of the 8 that are surviving, we have actually successfully discharged five of them. We have only three that are on admission, and we have every hope they will recover. So that should give everyone confidence that we are doing the right thing," he said.
Ways to Safeguard one's self:
Avoid physical contact with people showing symptoms: continuous high fever, red eyes, vomiting and stomach ache.
Wash hands thoroughly and frequently, including under the fingernails. Use soap and clean water; use hand sanitizer if soap is not available.
Use gloves when taking care of infected patients.
Avoid contact with raw meat; cook all animal food and by-products thoroughly.
Avoid bush meat; avoid buying or eating the wild animals, including nonhuman primates.
Avoid areas of known outbreaks.
Do not touch anyone who has died from Ebola.

Chukwu said the Nigerian Ministry of Health is working with both local and international partners to contain the disease. He hailed contributions from the United States to help combat the disease, following a recent meeting with ambassador James F. Entwistle, who he said promised more assistance to help with efforts to contain the Ebola disease.
"We are working with our partners; principally the World Health Organization. They are involved in every aspect of the containment strategy along with our own people," .
"The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention has been so wonderful in fact the U.S. government has been so supportive even I had a meeting with the American ambassador to Nigeria and he was promising more assistance." he said.
Concerning speculations that Ebola infections have increased in some parts of the country. Chukwu said that is not the case and those rumors are unsubstantiated.
He said Nigeria is cooperating with neighboring countries battling the Ebola virus including, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
"Certainly, we will offer technical assistance," said Chukwu. "Minister of health in West Africa will meet in Accra next week and we are going to reemphasize that we are willing to be of help to the other countries. So, surely we will offer our assistance."
Group of Nigerian Soldiers Refused To Fight Boko- Haram!
One of the soldiers, who requested anonymity, told the BBC that at least 40 of his colleagues would refuse orders to deploy.
Wives of some soldiers recently demonstrated at the army barracks in Borno State to protest deployment of their husbands to fight the terrorists because, according to them, the Boko Haram group had better equipment than the Nigerian Army.
A state of emergency that was declared in three North Eastern states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe last year has failed to curb the insurgency.
"Soldiers are dying like fowl," the anonymous soldier, who said he and his colleagues were just outside Maiduguri, told the BBC Hausa service.
"The Nigerian Army is not ready to fight Boko Haram," he said, explaining that soldiers were not being given enough weapons and ammunition to take them on.
"Boko Haram are inside the bush, everywhere," he said, adding that "they (senior commanders) are sacrificing soldiers".
Even the vehicles the soldiers were expected to use were old armoured cars that were not up to the job, he added.
A General in the army, who asked not to be named, told the BBC that he was unable to confirm the mutiny, but said "cowardice" was not uncommon in times of war - and that any mutineers would be punished.
When the solder was asked if he feared being court-martialled for taking part in the mutiny, the source said a soldier could only be taken to task for refusing to go to war.
"I joined the army to defend my country, but you cannot defend it without being equipped to do so", he said.
In April, Boko Haram caused global outrage by abducting more than 200 girls from the Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS), Chibok, Borno state.
Boko Haram has also carried out a wave of bombings and assassinations, including that of moderate Muslim leaders opposed to its ideology.
But the Defence Headquarters denied any mutiny by soldiers in Maiduguri.
Director of Defence Information, Chris Olukolade, a Major General, said the report of mutiny was part of calculated efforts to rubbish the military that has devoted all its powers to prosecute the war against insurgency and terrorism.
"The report is not true and even the man they spoke to is not a soldier. The Nigerian soldiers are 99 per cent loyal and would not descend to the fabrication of the report.
"Anyone who knows the military reward for mutiny will not join anyone to try it. The overwhelming majority of the Nigerian soldiers remain as brave and disciplined as ever.
"They will certainly not join any renegade, coward, deserter or those trying to incite mutiny in the military to betray the nation at a time like this in the way that impostor told his interviewers.
"His claims are false," Olukolade stated.
He argued that such reports are a reflection of those sympathetic to the terrorists, assuring that the military has the wherewithal to defeat the insurgents.
Meanwhile, Chief of Army Staff, Kenneth Minimah, a Lt. General, has warned officers and men of the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Enugu, that any act of mutiny would be followed with death sentence after court a martial in line with military laws.
Minimah, who was in Enugu to begin the first leg of his familiarisation visit to the division, spoke in reaction to the attack by soldiers on an army commander in the North at the peak of Boko Haram insurgency.
"We are taking charge of sabotage in the North and we are working on it. If they are found guilty that will be death by firing squad. Some may be dismissed.
"This happens more in the North and they are saboteurs against the fight against insurgenccye. I wish to announce that we have made procurement to fight the crisis in the North and I can guarantee you all that it will soon come to an end.
"I also wish to assure you that we will win this war," the Army chief said.
On the recent protest by soldiers' wives in Borno, Minimah warned that the Army will not condole that anymore, adding that they are not under the employment of army and has no role to play in its activities.
"If that repeats itself they will be kicked out of the barracks, they are meant to be controlled by their husbands. If they dare that they will see. We shall get stick and strip them naked," he added.
