Smart Nigeria
There's some puzzlement about how and why Nigeria has controlled Ebola while its neighbors are dying. Maybe this movie helps to answer the question.
"Ebola Doctors". Full-fledged movie, done by Nollywood with full commercial production values and plenty of drama. Shows people doing the wrong things and dying, people doing the right things and living. I can't tell if it was made with government support, but that's a safe bet.
God's work. Nigeria can do this, of course, because Nigeria is not totally and permanently crippled by monsters like Al Sharpton and Slithery Snake Frieden. Truth is possible there.
Good propaganda helps, but it appears that the main difference is the large population of Muslims in Nigeria. Sierra Leone and Liberia are much more heavily Christian. Islam strictly enforces natural public health rules, determined by many thousands of years of experimentation and recorded in the parts of the Bible that Christians abandoned. Those old rules prohibit eating rats and bats and monkeys, which seem to have been the source of Ebola; and the same old rules require washing your hands and feet frequently.
