Patience Jonathan 'Died' For 7 Days In German Hospital by horlatunde(m): 6:56pm On Feb 17, 2013
First Lady, Patience Jonathan, on Sunday opened up on her controversial medical trip last year, admitting for the first time she ailed terribly and was close to dying.

Mrs. Jonathan, who spoke at a special thanksgiving service at the Aso Rock Chapel where the first family worships, said she underwent multiple surgical operations and at some point her doctors lost hope after she “passed out for more than a week.”

“It was not an easy experience for me,” Mrs. Jonathan told the congregation which included senior government officials. “I actually died. I passed out for more than a week. My intestine and tummy were opened.”

“I am not Lazarus but my experience was similar to his. My doctors said all hope was lost. It was God himself in His infinite mercy that said I will return to Nigeria. God woke me up after seven days,” she narrated.


Mrs. Jonathan’s remarks at the church service, was the first time the presidency would admit the First Lady was seriously sick as widely speculated in 2012.

Mrs. Jonathan was on admission at the Horst Schmidt Klinik in Germany for an undisclosed ailment although multiple reports suggested she was treated for lungs and abdominal problems.

While the news circulated, the presidency ensured an anxious public remained in the dark about her condition, repeatedly insisting Mrs. Jonathan traveled for a “deserved rest”.

The thanksgiving service was delayed for two months, after the initial schedule was moved due to the helicopter crash deaths of former governor of Kaduna state, Patrick Yakowa, and the former National Security Adviser, Owoeye Azazi.

President Goodluck Jonathan, ministers and top government functionaries attended the event on Sunday.

During a stirring session, the First Lady narrated how she went through “hell” while in hospital and said she has dedicated her life to serving the needy.

“It is the Lord’s doing that I returned alive,” she said. “When God says yes, nobody can say no. People are always afraid of operation (surgery). But in my own case, while my travail lasted, I was begging for it after the third operation because I was going to the theatre every day. It was God who saw me through. I did eight or nine operations within one month.”

While she lay dying in Germany, friends and associates who hoped she will not be making it back to Nigeria with life, scrambled for her properties, selling those they could,” Mrs. Jonathan said.

She accused some of those she trusted of leaking information to the public that she had passed on.

“I know that some people somehow leaked the information that I was dead. They are people that I trust and rely on. To them, I was dead and I would never return to the country alive,” she said. “Some of them even sold my things off. “I won’t say everything here.”

She said she believed she had not completed her assignment on earth, which was why God spared her.

“It was not an easy one. The day I came back, I said God I have nothing to say, I offer myself to you. I will be doing things that will touch the lives of the less privilege. God gave me a second chance because I reached there. He knew I had not completed the assignments He gave me that was why I was sent back,” the First Lady said.

You see what N 1 Billion food can do to your intestine and stomach now? Yet, this year is no different with another N 4 B budgeted for a a phoney first lady mission house. Be careful, hope that will not be the end of you. If you had been in any hospitals built by your government in Nigeria and supplied with power by your PHCN, you would have long been dead. Hope your retardeen husband actually does something before he is removed from that position!

My condolences for the untimely death Madam.

Now that you have been afforded a second chance in life, though, please advise Oga to start packing his bags in readiness for a 2015 exit - you could use a prolonged period of respite.

All will be well in due course grin

I still don't understand why public officials take delight in lying blatantly. Is it too difficult to acknowledge that their principal is sick? A dishonest person isn't fit to occupy any public office.

Madam First lady, why should your friends and associates be holding your properties in trust for you, not to talk of their plans to dispose them off without your consent and hoping that you've embarked on a journey of no return? Does it mean you acquired those properties through proxy,mostly cronies? A foul stench of corruption hung in the air!

Patient Jonathan! You shall not die but live. Even if you die, i promise you that your womanhood will still live on.
I have once said it that because Chime Sulivan and Patient Jonathan came back alive, that is the reason we couldn't know the magnitude of their sickness. Had Umar Yaradua come back alive, they would still be faking us he also went for a minor treatment oversea.
Apart from not trusting our medical personnels and hospitals, their motive of going abroad for treatment is to keep their health status a secret from the nigerian populace.

did the german doctors pronounced her dead only for her to wake up (resurrect) after seven days, or did the place her on a clinically induced coma seeing that her stomach and intestine and stuff were open and exposed to the elements, thereby affording her time to stabilise and wake up? seems Nigerians like dying and waking up sha.

Madam mentioned a biblical death, drawing on the experience of Lazarus, and yet here you ask asking if an autopsy was conducted?

This goes to show you how worthless earthly possessions truly are. What good would all of her riches have done her, as she danced on the boundary of death? Hopefully, this experience would've taught her a powerful and certainly unforgettable lesson.

When Sahara Reporters broke the news back then people labelled them as carriers of bad news when they were actually the only ones reporting the truth.

But I don't get it, is it that she didn't realize that by saying this in public she has openly admitted that she lied when she came back from Germany? And that the Aso Rock media team of Abati/Okupe and their messengers are all just a group of liars?

Why do we still let these people get away with dishonesty and lies?

Good critique there - of course, but I bet she also didn't realize she was indirectly saying so. What an absolutely tactless presidency! And when people call their oga a retardeen some go dey holler say na insult even though its just an apt description.

Abagworo:

Its fond not "fund"!!

Mr Man, nobody made fun of her, SR only told us she was sick and receiving treatment abroad(this information was gotten from sources), and thankfully, she agreed that some of her close associated leaked her secrets.

She accused some of those she trusted of
leaking information to the public that
she had passed on.
“I know that some people somehow
leaked the information that I was dead

Where they not the ones that told us she was sick, while GEJ's gang of liars said she was resting??

But for SR would anyone have known she was sick??

Does her description of what she sent through (surgery, coma etc) not show that he case was a serious one as reported by SR??

Where was NTA and the other media outfits when SR was carrying out their investigation??

Madam's objective when she made that statement was solely to impart pearls of wisdom; that some friends cannot be trusted.

If you think for a second that she gives a rat's arse# about inferences the likes of @take dat, iforall, GARRI (x7), CyberG and other notable critics are likely to make, you are confusing her for someone who actually gives a damn.

If the properties were in Mrs Jonathan's name, her friends would not be able to sell them. Meaning that Mrs Jonathan put the said properties in her friends name(s) for a reason.She did not want the properties in her name because they are proceeds of crime and she needed her friends to launder the properties as fronts. But the seriously corrupt Nigerian press will not pick her up on this glaring confession of a criminally minded first lady.
