God forbids we get Ebola in Ghana because we can't even handle Cholera.

Nana binladdo must shut up , he should go back to sleep. Can't he Nana binladdo see the measures the Government is taken to stop the Ebola from entering into the country? This shows clearly that Nana binladdo gradually losing his bearing and out of touch. What he Nana binladdo , Bawumia and the Bungalows thief Jak has done to this country with their forgery pink sheets , Can't be compared to that of Ebola , those three fraudsters are the only Ebola Ghana has.

Strict precautionary measures can be taken to delay the entry of Ebola, however since our borders are not water-tight, we must also prepare for its onset. Good sanitation practices are a start, and there is no reason why Ghanaian health scientists cannot develop a cure for Ebola.

Watch him closely. He might have invited Ebola patients into the country. When the NPP starts shouting like this, then know that they are at another mischief doing the very thing they are shouting about.

Akuffo Addo does not know what he's talking about...unless its politics as usual...how can the govt 'do everything' to prevent it from the country...the only way, in my view, is to close the country-nobody enters and nobody leaves-which is not possible...we live in an inter-dependent world and so we depend on one another...even America cannot 'do everything' to prevent it from the country...did he not hear WHO say it is now a global threat...let akuffo addo bring ideas as to how to fight it when it enters the country and not to just shout that govt 'do everything' to stop it from entering the country...we are just lucky that it has not entered the country yet and i hope it does not...playing politics with it is what im against

Which part of Akufo Addo's statement is political? The Ebola or the advice to prevent its entry into Ghana? Do you even understand the RESPONSIBILITY of a government?

Yes, WHO has said it's a "global threat", but does that mean countries should not do anything to prevent it because it's a "global threat"? Many countries have set up quarantine facilities to handle any affected individual that enters its territory. Stop thinking that because Nana Akufo Addo is a politician anything he says is an attempt to play politics.

You said "Akufo Addo does not know what he's talking about", but doesn't it appear you're referring to yourself here rather?

Strange suggestion! How can the Government prevent Ebola from entering Ghana? Close all sea entries so that Ghanaian fishermen from Liberia cannot enter? Close the bush roads so that the Abrongs from Cote d'Ivoire cannot cross to Brong Ahafo in Ghana? Even through the airports, it is impossible to catch all Ebola infected persons because the disease has 21 days incubation period. That's what makes it so dangerous. Even before family members are aware, they would all be exposed. Unless Akuffo Addo was misquoted, this suggestion is impractical. Government can do much to contain its fast spread in Ghana and to treat those who might be infected. But to prevent Ebola from entering? That is practically impossible. No country can do so.

As at 20th century, how can we experience cholera in our country today?

Imagine with all our resources in this country, still NDC could not raise money
in our country, to help our girls and mothers unless senseless Mahama and his hopeless NDC so-called politicians
has to go to the World Bank to ask for a loan of $156 million, pay high interest on it only to buy sanitary pads for our girls and our mothers.

It is such a disgrace to our nation
and a Ghanaian for that matter. Oh!
God have mercy on us.

Nana should have entreated those in the medical profession to rescind their decision when some of them threatened they will abandon and run away if victims of ebola are brought to them for treatment.

This idea of praying against ebola is laughable as even those in the clergy have given up because they've realised too late that they sold lies to Ghanaians for far too long.

Why at all NDC thieves and brigands does not know shame?

When someone advises you idiots you turn out to rain a massive amount of insults
on credible and dynamic politicians,
meanwhile they (NDC) crooks has no
sensible person in such a bunch of
hopeless organisation.

Look at our economy, when Dr. Bawumia
alerted you idiots as a result of the
where you monkeys were taking our economy to, what did your senseless and illiterate Fiifi Quartey, just like you say?

What are we seeing today under NDC corrupt and incompetent fools?

You and your NDC monkey idiots don't take advise but when you destroys
issues, then you begin to call for
help as you senseless donkeys did calling for economic forum at senche.

I wish you have some brains in your
monkey head, you will not serve a political party as it is done by NDC gangsters but your nation. Swine you.

I wish you live up to see how our nation would be developed under NPP
and Nana Akuffo Addo's Government after 2016.

Why not give credit to the government for having held out ebola up to this point, and then put new ideas forward?
This shows dishonesty and bankruptcy of ideas a la NPP.

Infact Nana Akufo Addo is actually praying for it to happen in Ghana so that he can use it to attack the NDC government but God will not allow his dangerous dream to happen.

America, Britain and other civilised Countries did not burn down on their knees praying when their citizens contracted ebola. Instead, they used medical, scientific, observation and control of hygeinic methods to fight. In Liberia, they declared national days of prayers to combat the disease yet, they continue to die in their numbers.

Akufo Addo has lived most of his youthful and adult life in UK but behaves typical like the vilager. Government don't do everything but citizens and communities undertake good environmental policies to keep their surrondings clean. You don't throw rubbish around and expect AMA to clean up because you pay tax and levies. You'll be arrested if you do that. Akufo Addo should tell us what he will do differently if he were the President and stop the blah blah blah about praying against ebola.
