This is a short post on why I am not writing about Ebola. I had intended writing a funny post about how the new disease had affected my immediate family and environment. I would have written about my youngest brother's sudden love for bitter kola and my mom's suya microwaving skills or the fact that my brother's office bought cartonssss of hand sanitizers and gave all their staff. I would have also mentioned the 6am call I received informing me to add plenty salt to my water when bathing (apparently most people got 3am calls so I'm grateful for my sleep that was unperturbed).
There is usually a thin line between information and misinformation.
I'm glad of the recent news that there are Ebola survivors and at the same time I'm very sad about those that had to die from misinformation...SALT OVERDOSE!!!
It was funny before but it isn't any longer...
We shouldn't as Nigerians allow fear be our driving force!
Lets equip ourselves with the Right Information!
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Matthew 6:13
Sincerely,
Cee
Smack in point Cee!

Funny thing yeah, is that It still makes me laugh till now sef.. I hear People are surviving this endemic, and I am super glad for them. May those who had to go cause of the FG's inadequacies Rest in the peace of our lord, Amen :( However, i fear that this situation is far from over, as the the Media is just being used to quench the Panic.
