Icheoku will also extend our gratitude to the then Health Minister Chukwu for excellently succeeding in the task that was his ministry's to tackle the Ebola Virus Disease. Icheoku also prays that all other ministries in Nigeria as well as government parastatals and agencies would so effectively tackle various problems bedeviling the country which falls within their respective ministries' primary responsibility; and this immediately calls to mind the Ministry of Power and its lack of traction in solving Nigeria's endemic power problem.
Icheoku also thanks the governments of Lagos, Rivers and Enugu States whose states were directly impacted by the Ebola Virus Disease for gallantry putting up with the challenge of wrestling Ebola to a conclusive end. Icheoku also congratulates all the first responders and health care professionals, immigration and border enforcement agencies as well as other security personnel who provided care and service and also maintained order throughout this near epicurean crisis. As the first line of defense in this successful war against Ebola, they put up a stellar performance and Nigerians owe them their gratitude. Icheoku also recognizes the staff and management of First Foundation Consultants, whose Dr. Adadevoh sacrificed herself, diagnosing Patrick Sawyer of the disease and quarantining him immediately to avoid further infestation of the general populace.

Icheoku rejoices that today is Nigeria's day of glory as the country is recognized throughout the world as having successfully accomplished something of great note and significance. The world is not usually very favorably disposed towards Africa in general and particularly Nigeria, so for its agency WHO, to have acknowledged Nigeria as having done brilliantly well in the fight against Ebola Virus Disease, is something for Nigerians to celebrate and indeed be proud of. Nigeria is now the reference point in the fight against EVD as even the United States of America have adopted Nigeria's winning strategy as they grapple with their own Ebola invasion. Icheoku says some bubblies and high fives on this occasion would not be an unmerited gloating. The Ebola success story goes to show what is indeed possible in the country should all its disparate people come together as one to help lift the country up. Icheoku once again says congratulations Nigeria and may the Ebola Virus Disease response become the new benchmark for problem-solving in the country. Way to go Nigeria!

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.

Yesterday, Nigeria was declared Ebola free by the World Health Organization, (WHO). The declaration is an attestation to the Nigerian Can Do Spirit. It is also a clear demonstration of the many possibilities of our Nation. With us as a people, united under God, there is nothing we cannot achieve when we stand together behind an objective. Unity is the secret weapon Nigeria used against the Ebola Virus Disease and nothing shall be impossible for a united Nigeria. I congratulate and thank all Nigerians on this great feat. I want to also specially thank the governments and peoples of Lagos, Rivers and Enugu states, the first responders who treated the index cases. To all the thirty six state governors who united with the Federal Government to rid Nigeria of this scourge I also say a big thank you. Although we have been declared free of Ebola we must however, remain vigilant as the Ebola virus is still on rampage in neighboring Sister Countries. We cannot afford to let down our guard when there is still Ebola pain in our subregion. In this regard we will spare no resource in supporting our neighbors in the battle to contain this deadly scourge. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. GEJ
