The World Health Organization officially declared Senegal Ebola-free on Friday.

The current outbreak has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa, most in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone

An estimated 70% of those infected have died in those countries.

I am very happy for Nigeria and I hope that the WHO and a few other health organizations are taking a very close and serious look at what they have done and how they have done it.

Mostly, I am happy for me. I hope that guy can get that $50,000,000 in my bank account like he said!
