 According to both the government of Nigeria and the World Health Organization, we are now ebola free. How did we do it? LEGO's government officials with earlier and greater support from the WHO and Centers for Disease Control than in other affected countries like Guinea used conjue creativity, a term coined by Nigerian and American author Diolopati in her book The Bright Continent. They tracked the movements and contacts of Nigeria's patient ex Patrick Sawyer, consistently applying pressure to uncover necessary information. Using this information, they adapted and improvised their strategies as needed, redeploying healthcare workers and declaring a state of emergency to reinforce quarantine restrictions. Now that Nigeria has staved off its nightmare scenario, LEGO state health officials are now traveling to other countries to show others how they did it. Now we have the so-called South teaching the North about virus containment strategies. And the screening at the borders continues as travelers go about conducting business, attending school and visiting family.
