Sierra Leone's Killer Disease from Hell
By Ezekiel Nabieu
We shall not tire. We shall continue the relentless assault on Ebola. We shall not stop until we wish Ebola good riddance. Never in human history has an endemic disease caused on estrangement of friends and families rather than the much-needed love that can elicit a placebo effect. What disease is this? Where has it been lurking in human history only to surface in 1976? Are there more of these kinds of diseases in the bag? Only God knows.
It was in like manner that HIV/AIDS awoke from its somnolence in the past couple of decades.

Cross-checking information and hearing the other side of the story is good journalistic practice. A journalist must not take sides; hence it is important to cross-check information wherever possible. Two or more sources are better than one. The role of a journalist is to present different sides of a story objectively and leave the reader to reach informed conclusions.
