BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.

…………………………………..ELLEN SIRLEAF ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION
…………………………………….NIGERIAN ELITIST FEAR EBOLA
The recent attacks on Saturday,16th of
August,2014 by unknown gunmen on victims of Ebola will appear to have confirmed
the exclusive report ran by the highly authoritative ,Paedia Express Multimedia
last week, precisely on the 14 th of August ,2014 .
Checks by this reporter in Lagos, Nigeria shows that armed gunmen
recently attacked patients receiving various forms of treatment after been hit
by the deadly fever,Ebola Virus disease.
A Liberian Born Journalist ,resident in Nigeria for well
over a decade in Nigeria told this
reporter that things were really bad in the West African nation as at
press time.
His words:”Things are pretty bad in Monrovia right now, I was
thinking of going back home to settle down and after a year of getting back to
Monrovia will now send for my children to join me over there but now because of the severity of the Ebola
Attacks I am not even thinking of it any more”
“recently ,Madam Ellen Johnson –Sirleaf,our President was
doling out licenses for oil blocks to compensate some of her friends,there is
so much corruption in the public space even in Liberia ,all this African are
the same”
“one will think that she will respond to the Ebola attacks but
look at what she has been doing ,I am always in touch with my brother on phone
so I know what is happening on a daily basis”
Yet another source told Paedia Express Multimedia
exclusively that the entire Ebola Fever
saga was now been over blown because it is a threat to elitist interests.
His Words:”Do you know how many people dying of such things
like Malaria Fever, typhoid Fever and
other diseases on a daily basis, do you know many people that die of Boko Haram
attacks on a daily basis, the elitists who control every organ of the state have
now created a public hysteria because they are under threat”
“Do you see airports been built around luxury estates ,it is
only the poor that live their and if there is a plane crash it will kill them
in the process”
“When there was Boko Haram attack on Apapa in Lagos, Nigeria
they lied to the populace so that it will not affect stock market share prices
and immediately it became known publicly they had mopped up there shares so
that they do not suffer any form of loss at the Lagos Stock Exchange”
The source explained that as at today,18th of
August,2014 only four people have been
confirmed dead to the Ebola scourge but he was shocked at the general public
reaction.
He added that he was indifferent about the issue as over 75
percent of Nigerians actually lives in the rural areas and they cannot be
bothered.
Ebola patients fled during an attack
at a health care facility in Monrovia, Liberia, on Saturday, Liberian National
Police spokesman Sam Collins told CNN on Sunday.
All patients who ran away had Ebola,
and some chose to stay at the facility, Collins said.
The assailants stole mattresses and
equipment, he said, adding that no one was injured in the incident and the
attackers were not trying to free the patients; rather, they did not want the
quarantine there. The assailants were using weapons but not wielding guns,
according to Collins.
"It was an attack from people
afraid of Ebola," Collins told CNN. "Everybody is afraid."
Since an Ebola epidemic was declared
in Guinea in March, the disease has spread to Sierra Leone, Liberia and
Nigeria. Ebola can be contracted by coming into contact with infected organs
and body fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions.
In the deadly disease's current
outbreak in those countries, 712 people have died from Ebola and 1,310 people
are Liberia confirmed to be infected with the virus, the World Health Organization reports.
Tolbert Nyenswah, Liberia's
assistant minister of health, told CNN that as of Friday, 154 people in the
nation have died from Ebola. There are more cases in which patients are
suspected to have the disease, but that information has not been confirmed, he
said.
Last week, Liberia's government said
that sample doses of ZMapp, an experimental drug used to treat two American
health care workers in Atlanta, Georgia, would be sent to Liberia to treat
doctors who have contracted the virus.
The drug arrived and was given to
three doctors, Nyenswah told CNN. He said the Liberian government is in talks
to try to get more.
The country had requested the drug,
and the White House and U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved it.
ZMapp has not been tested for public
use. Earlier, the company that makes ZMapp said its supply was exhausted after
fulfilling a request of a West African country which it did not, at the time,
name.
Liberia has taken other measures to
try to contain the virus.
In late July, it closed most of its
borders and national campaigns have been launched to educate the public about
how Ebola is spread and what to do if someone comes into contact with an
infected person.
On Sunday, Cameroon's information
minister told CNN that the country was closing its border with Nigeria over
Ebola concerns.
Issa Tchiroma Bakari said that all
flights to and from Nigeria into and out of Cameroon are suspended.
People in Cameroon and Nigeria cross
borders daily for commercial and personal reasons.
