Nigeria has been declared officially free of Ebola after six weeks with no new cases, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.

WHO representative Rui Gama Vaz, speaking in the capital Abuja, said it was a "spectacular success story".

Nigeria won praise for its swift response after a Liberian diplomat brought the disease there in July.

The outbreak has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.

1. That's not possible. I heard it right here on DU that Nigeria was a huge mess

and that is why we had to quarantine all of Africa.

4. Nigeria is a mess, just not with Ebola but those asshole terrorists that kidnapped those girls

First I am glad they were able to stop the virus in it's track. Nigeria is a huge country and Ebola getting lose in Lagos, one of the largest cities in the world could have been a huge problem. Yet the Nigerian government was able to track down everyone who came in contact with that person infected.

The Nigerian Government just can't track down who kidnapped those 200+ girls about 6 months ago.

Go figure.

10. Panicky people say a lot of stupid things

So far only three groups are at risk: close family, caregivers, and (possibly) undertakers.

It's not that easy to catch, folks, by what we know now.

2. So apparently Nigeria...

Has their act together better than us...that's just great.

Have their health officials come over here and show us how to do it....

crew commands that the USA must stay fearful, plus no one shall travel from West Africa

8. Oh, no, they'll have to call off TEOTWAWKI. Then blame Obama for losing money.

Obama didn't panic with the pig flu and drag everyone to FEMA camps to force them to take the flu vaccine. What will the bunker crowd do?

Obama didn't come for the guns, they wasted a fortune in ammo and on gun sales. Wait, there is proof now:
