Ebola: Bush Meat Business gradually picking up in Kwara
Kosubosu (NAN) – Bush meat sellers in Kosubosu Community in Kwara said on Tuesday that business was gradually picking up two months after the outbreak of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
Some of the meat sellers, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kosubosu, said they had started enjoying patronage again, after customers deserted them because of fears of contracting the Ebola virus.
Some West African countries, including Nigeria recorded deaths at the peak of the Ebola disease crisis with the World Health Organisation (WHO) putting the number of deaths in the sub-region so far at about 2,793.
Fatimoh Ibrahim, a bush meat vendor at Kaiama Market in the Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara, said that the outbreak had serious negative impact on bush meat business.
She, however, expressed her delight that business was gradually picking up.
“Before the disease outbreak, we usually sold all the products daily but when Ebola came, we will wait endlessly for days for buyers,’’ she said.

I want to thank everybody who saw the good in what I did. Though, to be honest, I think it was a little stupid. What was I thinking putting my life and probably my career on the line in an attempt to change something so entrenched it seems unchangeable? But really I’m not fazed by the trash talk from those allergic to the truth.

Essay: How A mother's raised two HIV positive children
A mother's account of living with two HIV positive children has gone viral .While many would go for healthy children,the photojournalist Jen Mosher adopted HIV positive children .She got tired of the stigma associated with it and decided to pen down her feelings in an write up shared over 37,000 times..She told Buzzfeed
After doing some research and talking with other families, we absolutely knew that we could do it and that HIV was a manageable chronic disease. We took a leap of faith and asked our adoption agency if there were HIV children available for adoption in China, and were told, ‘Probably not. China has lots of HIV-positive children in orphanages but they are believed to be unadoptable so they do not make them available for adoption.’
In spite of this, the very next day, we got matched with our HIV-positive daughter, and then later, we also got matched with and adopted another amazing HIV-positive child.
