Shocking:Ebola Victim That Died In Nigeria Was An American Citizen by villabiz: 11:48am On Jul 29, 2014
The Ebola victim who died in Nigeria was an American citizen,it was revealed last night.
Patrick Sawyer died this week after becoming noticeably ill on a flight from Liberia in West Africa, where the worst ever outbreak of Ebola is gathering pace, to the city of Lagos in Nigeria.
His case sparked alarm across the globe because he was able to board an international flight while carrying the incurable disease – potentially infecting other passengers who could fly across the world in a nightmare scenario for health experts.Patrick Sawyer, 40, was planning to return home to Coon Rapids, Minnesota, to be reunited with his children for two of his daughters' birthdays in August.
But his death in Lagos, Africa's most populous city, has health workers scrambling to trace those who may have been exposed to him across West Africa, including flight attendants and fellow passengers.

Sawyer, who worked for the Liberian Finance Ministry married his wife Decontee in December 2008, in Coon Rapids.
The couple, who both hold US citizenship are originally from Liberia and Decontee arrived in the country with her family in 1991 and Patrick came in the early 2000s.
The couple are part of the large Liberian community in Minnesota, who moved there in the aftermath of the nation's two civil wars in the 1980s and late 1990s.
His job had taken him back to West Africa to promote economic development there and he was last in the United States in September said Decontee to the Pioneer Press.
His long absences away from home had become common and before he boarded the plane to Lagos last week he had been caring for a sister who was ill with what was revealed to be Ebola, although according to Decontee, he and his family did not know that at the time.
So sad,he ended up in Nigeria.

OPEN LETTER TO MR EBOLA!
Dear Ebola, please we are still trying to
survive:
1. Cancer
2. Strikes
3. Corrupt politicians
4. HIV
5. Bokoharams
6. Religious issues
7. PHCN
8. Unemployments
9. 419 Aka Yahoo Yahoo
10. Fulani herdsmen.
As you can see, we already have enough
Ebola problems, that has had no cure, since
independence. So adding yourself after
number 10, it will be as late Fela said, double
Wahala for dead body.
Thanks for your corporation.
