My name is Hosu moses sewanu, a native of Ipokia local government in ogun state, was born and raised in Lagos state .

My dad is late, I still have my mum and am the second out of the family of 3.

It all started late 2023, I woke one morning and I noticed that the left side of my head was seriously pounding so I took paracetamol just like the normal thing thinking it was just an ordinary headache but after taking the paracetamol few minute later the headache started again to the extent that it was difficult for me to turn my neck so I managed it like that for about 3 days but when the aching didn’t stop I had to call my mum to tell her what I was facing so she said to me that I should try and come over to her place, on getting to my mum’s place.

She decided that I have to go to Randle general hospital that I should go and complain there about my health.

Immediately I got to Randle, checking my blood pressure level, it was very high and I was referred to the emergency department for quick response, at the emergency, I was required to do some laboratory tests which I did.

So I was admitted immediately for about 4 days, later the doctor told me to go and redo the same test again at another laboratory center outside the hospital. When the results came out, it was reading that I am having chronic kidney failure.

When I was told about the situation, my entire body was very buttered that I almost run mad.

When my mum came. She was also told the same thing then I was referred to gbagada general hospital for proper treatment and to be seeing a neufrologist that is the specialist doctor for kidney cases.

So I started visiting gbagada hospital for check ups and clinic days. By that time my body have not started noticing it like that nor until late 2024

I started feeling very weak, I don’t sleep at night, I couldn’t eat like that, my entire body was down.

So I tried going back to the hospital at Gbagada, there I was admitted instantly and they started the treatment process, later on, I was told to start dialisys, that I should do five, so I started dialisysing at Gbagada hospital at first It was five. After doing the five, I was told to start another five again .

Making it 10 sessions ater doing the 10th session I was discharged home just to be attending the clinic alone, later I was told at the clinic that I should not stop the dialisys that this time, I have to be doing it twice a week.

So far now, I have done 23 sessions of dialisys and still counting. As it is now, I don’t work again, I can’t even do anything now, even to move around like before is really difficult because the whole thing have started manifesting I mean my body can’t carry me like before.

I am in very severe pain, the drugs prescribed for me by the doctors are very expensive and they are much all are compulsory for me to buy.

Hmm I pray that God should send me help from above, a miracle is what I am expecting.

This is the little I can say about my state of health now.

In a statement posted on X, Pate said the patient was clinically improving, stable and conscious but remained potentially infectious, necessitating strict safety protocols throughout the evacuation process.

The patient travelled with her spouse, who has remained asymptomatic. The minister commended healthcare workers for their efforts in managing the case.

Pate assured Nigerians that public health measures remain in place to contain the virus and urged citizens to stay vigilant while relying only on credible information.

EBOLA: Lagos Heightens Watch at Airports After Abuja Case

Lagos State has strengthened disease surveillance and public health preparedness following confirmation of an imported case of Ebola Bundibugyo virus in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, the Ministry of Health said in a statement on Sunday.

Residents and visitors need not panic, the ministry stressed, as the state is fully ready to prevent, detect and respond to any potential public health threat. There are currently no suspected or confirmed cases in Lagos.

The Directorate of Epidemiology, Biosecurity and Global Health is intensifying surveillance, risk communication and community engagement. Collaboration with agencies at points of entry, including Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), has also been stepped up to enable early detection and rapid response.

As part of these efforts, the ministry conducted a strategic engagement and assessment at MMIA with airport management, Port Health Services and other aviation and public health stakeholders. Discussions focused on passenger screening, information sharing, infection prevention and control, and emergency response coordination. Public enlightenment is also being expanded through educational materials on Ebola symptoms, transmission and prevention.

Ebola Virus Disease is a severe and potentially fatal illness that spreads mainly through direct contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person showing symptoms, contaminated materials, or the bodies of people who have died from the disease. Infection can also occur through contact with infected animals.

Symptoms typically appear between two and 21 days after exposure and may include fever, severe weakness, headache, muscle pain, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Unexplained bleeding or bruising can occur in some cases. Because early symptoms can resemble malaria or other common illnesses, anyone who becomes unwell—especially after possible exposure or travel from an area with active transmission—should seek prompt medical assessment.

The ministry reminded residents of Lagos State’s fever-management policy: anyone with fever should take a malaria rapid diagnostic test before using antimalarial medicines. If the test is negative, a healthcare professional should evaluate other possible causes.

Preventive measures advised include regular hand washing, avoiding contact with the body fluids of sick persons, not handling potentially contaminated materials, and staying away from sick or dead wild animals.

Travellers arriving in Nigeria, particularly from areas reporting Ebola transmission, are urged to cooperate with Port Health Services, provide accurate travel and health information, and follow official public health guidance. Anyone who develops symptoms during or after travel should notify health personnel promptly and seek advice before visiting a healthcare facility.

Suspected cases or concerns about possible exposure in Lagos can be reported via the state’s emergency lines 112 or 767, or by calling the Directorate of Epidemiology, Biosecurity and Global Health on 0802 316 9485.

The Lagos State Government said it will continue to monitor the situation, strengthen surveillance and response capacity, and issue verified updates as necessary. Residents are encouraged to remain calm, practise recommended precautions and rely on official information from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) and other authorised agencies.
