What is the outcome ? From my point of view only Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone should be avoided as it is pandemic. For Nigeria it is still not pandemic, there are isolated cases, the origin of which was from Liberia, by one late Mr Sawyer. For my country Ghana, there no documented case at the moment. Note that foreign airlines have stopped services in the above 3 countries, but services continue in Nigeria notably British Aieways, Lufthansa, Emirate and KLM. Rwanda air and Ethiopian are still operating in West Africa including Nigeria.

So... We suspend flights from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Rwanda air, Ethiopian, Gambia Bird fly from these places to Accra and offload passengers. We pick up these passengers and bring them here... aren't we kidding ourselves? ama perception matter. by the way Zambia banned Liberians, Guinean and Sierr Leoneans from coming into their country... coz it's a disease that looks at your passport before deciding whether to infect you or not.

You may be headed there....

Ghana may be recording its first case of Ebola if tests on the blood samples of a Burkinabe man suspected to have died of Ebola proves positive. The man who was rushed to the Bawku Presby Hospital in the Upper East Region from Burkina Faso, died on arrival. The Medical Director at the Hospital, Dr Joseph Yaw Manu, who confirmed the incident to Citi News, said they sent the blood samples for testing because the man was brought in showing symptoms of Ebola. In an interview with Citi News, Dr. Manu said the patient was bleeding from his nostrils which raised their suspicion he may have died of the Ebola disease. Dr. Manu said they are awaiting the results from the blood sample test to verify the cause of death. He gave the assurance that the hospital is prepared to battle the disease. This is the fourth suspected case of Ebola reported in Ghana; two in Kumasi, one in Accra and now the Upper East Regio

Unless everyone bans flights from these 3 countries - your ban is in vain! Patrick Sawyer travelled from Liberia to Togo then to Naija enroute to USA!

Yes. If there was no direct flight, they would have gone through one or two other capitals in connecting flights and they would have been screened once or twice before they got here and you and I would not be that worried. Isn't it, Maka?
