The fear of Ebola!

So Charles Sawyer made his way to Lagos, Nigeria. Died Here. Infected 13 Nigerians with the Ebola Virus Disease. 4 officially dead.

Not being one to panic, I definitely was scared of contacting the virus. Who wouldn't be? Here's a disease that kills its victims within three weeks, had no proven cure and is quite easily transmitted. A disease no known man was immune to, no prevention vaccines, Nigerian doctors were (still are) on strike and other than Lagos state, the Nigerian government was totally unprepared for such disease. (Which leaves the sanity of the Nigerian Minister for information, Labaran Maku 'questionable' since he claimed on International media that Nigeria was adequately prepared for the Ebola virus)

Trust Nigerians! Handshakes were doled out suspiciously if at all. People avoided any form of contact with others especially in large gatherings and of course the plague of the HAND SANITISERS.

We always turn the strangest things to fads. Offices hung large dispensers of hand sanitisers in their reception areas. One could say a high percentage of Lagosians acquired a 50ml bottle of sanitiser. When you open a door; sanitize. When you shake someone you couldn't refuse their hand; sanitize. When you touch a surface that seems Ebola prone; sanitize.

Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled “This could change your life.
Helen Exley

I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
Anthony Robbins

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. 

Gilda Radner

Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren’t. I’m not surprised some people prefer books.

Julian Barnes

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

 Paulo Coelho

Stay Victorious!!!
