The recent cholera outbreak in Nigeria has claimed several lives, especially in the Middle Belt and South-South regions. The disease is preventable, but inept government and health authorities have allowed it to spread. The situation is dire, and medical personnel should be dispatched to affected areas to provide medical services and educate the public on how to avoid contracting the disease. The epidemic highlights the lack of value placed on human lives in the country and the insensitivity of health sector stakeholders to the plight of victims. Donor agencies should rush to the affected areas with drugs and other materials to help deal with the epidemic, and the federal, state, and local governments should provide potable water to rural communities whose drinking water sources are very terrible.
