The Nigerian government has repeatedly said they are capable of handling the flu when it arrives, the time has come at last and we'll get to see what happens.
This is not a time to play strong head, the goverment should make use of any foreign help they can get, to get this under control ASAP.

Oh No.... our people will need more than prayers for this one. Malaria is needlessly killing people in our country, how will they cope with this alien, aggressive strain of flu? It's time to talk serious quarantine and medical supplies, not pussyfoot with meaningless government promises which we all know are unrealistic at best and downright irresponsible at worst. Just watch as other countries start to close their borders to Nigerians.
My mum in Enugu told me that she had being noticing a lot dead local chickens as of 2 months ago lying on the streets close to a stream that runs through the city and is a place a lot migratory birds pass through. She said that she stopped eating any sort of bird meat in Nigeria 3 months ago.
