Lagos — President Goodluck Jonathan told the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly his administration had rid the country of the deadly Ebola virus.
“Your Excellencies, while Africa, and in particular, West Africa, battles conflicts and terrorism, with progressive results, the region is now being devastated by the outbreak of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). While Nigeria was able to respond effectively to control the spread of the disease, the situation in Liberia and Sierra Leone requires sustainable, collective global action to contain.
Through the concerted efforts of our healthcare professionals, the World Health Organisation and our international partners, we have been able to contain the EVD and ...

I will withhold judgment on their statements. Ebola must be easier to fight than those dang scammers that send the emails about leftover money.
Free of Ebola? For how long? Only until the cover up can not be contained. these little dictatorship better wake up to the cisis they face.
Isn’t this the president who won’t go looking for the hundreds of kidnapped schoolgirls? If he doesn’t know where the schoolgirls are, how could he know where Ebola is?
It's sad to think that we could not do what Nigeria has done, but I bet we could not.
So it's free!
PRAISE BE!!! The Nigerian president has joined the status of miracle worker with Obama. Obama declares the economy is roaring and it is roaring. Obama declares the multitudes are fed and they are. Nigeria declares ebola is eradicated and behold the miracle.
Well good for Nigeria then!
Begging the question, “Where did they send them?”
There is no Ebola in Nigeria!
This is quite probably true - for now. I will pray that it remains that way, but they will have to work at it too.
Bingo!
Thanks for the ping!
Boko Haram probably just killed everyone with Ebola.
He has been reading too much NY Times. You can’t just declare an Ebola free zone.
Right. It takes 42 days without a new case.
I’ve read that by 2050, Nigeria will have a larger population than the USA.
Officially, Nigeria cannot be declared Ebola-free until two incubation periods (that is, 42 days) have passed without a new case. So far, 5 days have passed since the last contact has been cleared. But things are looking good for Nigeria.

Could be, iirc, there are 25,000,000 in the Lagos ‘metro area’ alone.
