Ebola: The Caribbean Island of Dominica cancels contract with Flavour

Nigeria’s music maestro Flavour N’Abian has become the latest casualty of stigmatisation of Nigeria over the brief call of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Nigeria.
The Caribbean island of Dominica has canceled a contract with Flavour’s band scheduled to participate in a local music festival, citing worries about the Ebola virus.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said he had to remove the band called “Flavour” from the lineup of Dominica’s three-day World Creole Music Festival out of “an abundance of caution,” adding that a total of four musicians would have flown in from Nigeria.
It is one of several countries in West Africa where Ebola has spread. However, the vast majority of the more than 3,800 deaths linked to Ebola have occurred in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
