I wonder, did they really... One of the most corrupt government could easily control media.

  Your comment is baseless speculation and only serves to spread fear. There hasn't been a new reported case in Nigeria in 30 days. That data is coming from the WHO, which is not under the control of the Nigerian government.

  What would be the point in reporting that there is ebola in your country and just suddenly lying that it's gone? The evidence does not indicate that the Nigerian government is unwilling to acknowledge ebola, so regardless of what you think of the Nigerian government, this just seems like FUD.

  1) There are lots of privately owned and foreign media companies operating in Nigeria and they are not censored so the issue of Government controlling the media doesn't arise. 2) Secondly, what does the Government gain by saying they have controlled Ebola if in fact they haven't? People will still be dying and the news will leak. 3) I don't think it's proper to use a blanket statement such as 'one of the most corrupt government...'. You are simply tarring everybody who works in Government as being corrupt
