The Ebola Joke

 We "happy" people of nigeria pride ourselves in making jokes of very serious situations. Since the rise in the incidence of Ebola virus, I have sadly read jokes from different social media about this deadly virus. The latest I just saw on someone's update was E.B.O.L.A "Ebola   Blessing Of The Lord Almighty". Then the salt and water cure, the kolanut cure. Some ignorant Nigerians who just want a quick route to everything in life ignorantly followed the salt and water instructions. 

The first outbreak of Ebola was in 1976 and the developed world took note and started working and researching towards a cure, discovered one and locked it away until two Americans got infected in far away Africa, and although it's still called an experimental drug, these American patients are still alive and well while we die in dozens and make senseless jokes out of it. 

Since we have collectively agreed to remain third world and undeveloped, why don't we all help ourselves with the most simple medical advice that is way more effective than the new Ebola drug Zmapp, "PREVENTION". Instead of making jokes try AWARENESS. 

Let people know what to watch out for, if you catch am for Lagos no enter bus say you dey go village to die, you are only going to spread it to your loved ones. Please let us all take this disease serious and do what we can do as a chronic third world nation and simply preach prevention which we all know for ages, is way better than cure.
