It is now said that the fear of Ebola is the beginning of wisdom. Clearly Nigerian government officials agree with this and have every intention of heeding such wisdom.
At an emergency meeting between the president and state governors over the Ebola virus yesterday in Aso Villa, handshakes were readily replaced with the seemingly safer "chop knuckle" option.
Also, on a commissioning trip to Poland, First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan was spotted adopting the new handshake as she greeted officials of the Nigerian Embassy in Poland.
Check out photos above. Meanwhile let us know, have you also stopped shaking people?
