Signs and symptoms typically start between 2 days and 3 weeks after contracting the virus. The disease has occurred previously in Central Africa of Zaire (Democratic republic of Congo (DRC)) and Sudan etc until 2013-2015 outbreaks that involved West Africa which according to World Health Organization (WHO) is the largest and worst outbreak of all times.1
Ebola virus infection is highly contagious and poses a serious threat to the life of people.
The family and the family physician are the most vulnerable since infection is likely to spread seamlessly among family members because of family dynamics that exist within them. The family physician being the doctor of first contact is most like to be the first healthcare worker to be exposed to the virus while attending to patients in the outpatient clinics and the emergency department.
This current West African outbreak first started in Guinea in late 2013 and later spread to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Mali. The worst hit countries such as Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone have very weak health systems, lacking human and infrastructural resources, having emerged from long periods of conflict and instability.
Control of outbreaks requires coordinated medical services, alongside a certain level of community engagement. Medical services include rapid detection of cases of disease, contact tracing of those who have come into contact with infected individuals, quick access to laboratory services, proper health care for those who are infected, and proper disposal of the dead through cremation or burial.
No specific treatment or vaccine for the virus is available, although a number of potential treatments are being studied.
Supportive efforts, however, improves outcome.

Deciding when to start using birth control and choosing a method that will work for you is an important decision. This booklet outlines different birth control methods and issues to consider when deciding to become sexually active. More resources are listed at the end of this booklet if you want more information or need to speak with someone directly.
Deciding to have sex is a very personal choice. Sex also involves how you feel about yourself and others, how you relate to people and the choices you make. Sex is healthy and should be enjoyable; however, it can also be risky. Protection needs to be used whenever you are sexually active to prevent pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). STIs are usually passed through oral, vaginal or anal intercourse, and in some cases through contact with blood from an infected person.

Every country, every citizen of the world prefers to learn English. English has become the channel of communication in the present scenario in all sorts of communication gadgets operating with English as the medium. Much of the communication at the administrative level and organisational level is being done in English with little emphasis on regional or local languages. English is playing a significant role in the overall the development of the individual and society to share knowledge, information, beliefs and feelings. Countries like India, are introducing English at a later stage in the school education. With the stress on Mother Tongue, Environmental Education, Mathematics and other life skills taking a major part in the early part of education, much of the education in Government and Public schools, English is being introduced at a later stage. This is influencing the overall language development of the individual. The effect of mother tongue or local native language, which the student is learning at initial stages, is influencing the English language skills of the learning both in articulation, reading, writing and pronunciation. So the method adopted by the teachers is crucial in teaching better English language skills to the youngsters. This article makes an in depth analysis of the effect of methods of teaching and the workbooks on the overall language development of the students studying in the schools. A number of research studies have been carried out to improve the English language teaching in primary schools and high schools in the background of English as a second language. Not much has been really brought from research into practice in the schools. Much of the research is confined only to the reports but not propagated to the practitioners. Hence, the present study has been taken up to study the Influences of Classroom Teaching and Workbooks on the learning difficulties and development of English Language in the school children.

Old Nkebem came out of his hut with his back as he smile at the youth.’’ What do I owe this visit?” he asked surprisingly.Orok the oldest of the youth clears his throat and began;”we are entangled by dark clouds and we are all sharing the same plate with the invisible”he said poetically.”speak to us great one, for our heart bleeds in anguish and pain and even our king is being slain to death by the allied forces that has encamped the land.The elders of the land are taken into captive and so are our young girls.”Effiong said with a frightening voice.”who knows who’s next on the line to crash the sea.?”Edet asked rhetorically.”Hmmmm my children I am confused myself,the throne as a secret to be unfold and it is centred on the destiny of a prince.Go back and sleep for Ndarake is the architect of its misfortune.Destiny is being cheated and the crown must pay for it.It is blood for blood.Go!”he urged the youth as he went into his hut humming a song.”can you all add meaning to what the priest has said ?”Akabom asked wearing a confused look.
“I am confused myself.what do we do next?” Edet said perplexed.”We need to go and watch the gods in action.” Effiong said as the exist.
