Thousands of people have defied Sierra Leone’s three-day lockdown to combat the Ebola virus by crossing the border into Guinea without going through health controls.
Health officials in Guinea said people were coming “in waves” through the bush, fearing they would be taken away if they were found to have the disease.

As of Sept. 20, the last person under surveillance in Nigeria has been found to be free of Ebola. That means that the chain of transmission has been broken and the only cases would be those who are still in the hospital. Once Nigeria has gone 2 full incubation periods (total 42 days) without a new case, it will be officially Ebola-free.
Nigeria is not within walking distance of Sierra Leone, Guinea, or Liberia.
The average person in those countries lives on about $3 per day. I don't think they will do much palm-greasing. I do not think the ones who can afford a flight out are going to try sneaking in the back door.
