Truly Ebola has instilled a sense of discipline on Nigerians at all levels. I never believed that discipline can be attained in Nigeria within such a short period of time. The Police for instance, dont engage themselves in the unnecessary stop and search. They dont even contemplate arresting innocent citizens anymore. This unbelieveable! The hype and hysteria that normally follows when boarding a commercial bus in Lagos has drastically reduced as one can see passengers entering the bus one after the other in a much civilized way and often avoiding bodily contact with the iron body of the car or even individuals. This is yet unbelieveable! Ebola has equally introduced a sense of decency and mannerliness into our ladies as the show-me-breast syndrome is no more there. Also the girls have learnt not to give kisses like christmas gift. Almost everybody is dressing corporately these days and one rarely distribute handshake and some of our gluttonous colleagues have learnt not to sip from my bottle. I thank my food is now safe for me(is that stinginess?) And friends who come to borrow clothes- they no longer come! I am even beginning to avoid carrying the little children in my compound eachtime I come back from work and they troop out to welcome me. I merely say: Go and collect biscuit from mama Chidera. I have equally learnt not to board a commercial vehicle where the conductor is sweating! Yes afterall it is communicable through bodily fluid. I already have a water-proof hand glove as I pray fervently for manufacturers to contemplate producing body glove. I think I would be among the first to get it. Finally,Ebola has made us to be spiritually alert as one constantly hear the mention of Jesus name even among the unbelievers. If Ebola could attain such quantum change in mindset and civilised behaviour, then I believe attitudinal miracles can happen. I would say: The Ebola we see today, we shall see them no more!!!
