Sacrifices Of Care Givers, Ameyo Adadevoh, By Femi Fani-kayode by Eldavido1: 1:41pm On Aug 24, 2014
In an essay titled ”A Virus Called Ebola and the Secret Club From
Hell” (Premium Times, 17th August 2014) I wrote that Patrick
Sawyer, the American/Liberian that brought the ebola virus to
Nigeria ”was an evil man with an evil intention and purpose”. I went
further by writing that: ”worst still he was not working alone. Some
people, and I mean rich, powerful and well-connected people, were
working with him. As a matter of fact they sent him on the
mission”.
I stand by those words and I maintain, as I argued in that essay, that
there is an ”Illuminati” connection to the whole ebola episode. I urge
those that are skeptical about this and that have not read that write-
up to google it and do so. This short contribution is something of
an addendum to that essay. I was compelled to write it for two
reasons. Firstly because the sheer depth, complexity and audacity
of the conspiracy is so utterly appauling and mind-boggling that I
believe that a little more detail is required to make the case.
Secondly because Nigeria has just lost a woman of substance and
one of her brightest and best, who happens to be a medical
practitioner, to the ebola virus as a direct consequence of Sawyer’s
sinister and nefarious activities.
Those that refuse to accept the fact that there is a hidden agenda
unfolding here and that refuse to believe that there is a mysterious
and diabolical force working behind the scenes ought to attempt to
explain to us why it was that the Liberian Deputy Finance Minister,
Mr. Sebastian Omar, gave Sawyer permission to travel to Nigeria
even though he knew that he was infected with ebola and even
though he knew that his sister had just died from the same disease.
Sawyer was an ECOWAS official who had sought permission to
travel to Nigeria for an ECOWAS summit. He knew that he had ebola
and according to his wife’s testimony he avoided contact with as
many people as possible in Liberia before he came to Nigeria. Yet
when he got to Nigeria he told the medical authorities that he simply
had a fever and attempted to hide the fact that he had a highly
contagious terminal disease which was capable of spreading
throughout our nation and killing as many people as the infamous
and dreaded bubonic plague that wiped out 60 per cent of Europe’s
population between 1346 and1363. Those that doubt this thesis
should explain away the contradictions and inexplicable behaviour
of this strange and demented Liberian whose string was obviously
being pulled from elsewhere.
Worse still they ought to explain to us why it was that after the
demon landed in our shores, after the affliction was unleashed, after
the damage had been done and after a number of our people had
been infected with the virus as a consequence of their direct
interaction with Sawyer, why the Liberian Minister boastfully and
arrogantly told the world that he ”refused to apologise to Nigeria”
for his error of judgement even though that error had led to panic,
fear, disease and numerous deaths in our country. What a beast of a
Minister this horrible little man called Sebastien Omar is. His words
are not only unacceptable but they are also utterly outrageous. He is
a harbinger of death and destruction and he ought to be held
directly responsible for the evil and tragedy that has befallen our
people. How I wish that the Federal Government and specifically our
Minister of Health and Minister of Foreign Affairs had mustered the
courage to give him an earful for his sheer insensitivity and
wickedness.
The truth is that Sawyer, with the full backing of those that sent him,
arrived in Nigeria with a clear understanding about what he intended
to do. His deadly mission was simple and clear. Had it not been for
the efforts of a very brave woman by the name of Dr. Ameyo
Adadevoh, who refused to release him from the hospital in which he
had been admitted, despite the enormous pressure that was brought
to bear upon her to do so by the Liberian Ambassador and a few
Nigerians in high places, Sawyer would have spread the virus, with
it’s lethal package of death, to many other people in Lagos. This
would undoubtedly have resulted in an uncontrollable and deadly
epidemic and many lives would have been lost. Worse still this
terrible plague would have also ended up in Calabar which was
Sawyer’s ultimate destination. I suspect that after spreading his
deadly load in Calabar he would also have touched Abuja as well.
That way he would have ”covered” and ”treated” both of Nigeria’s
two old capital cities and the new in a spectacular triangle and
pyramid of death. What better way to effect his purpose? If he had
succeeded in this monstrous venture Nigeria would have never been
the same again.
Sawyer’s behaviour at the hospital was instructive and revealing.
When he was told that he would not be allowed to leave, in a fit of
rage and frustration, he removed the drip that was used to
transfuse blood into his veins and he sprayed his blood all over
Adadevoh and some of her nursing staff. He also poured his urine
all over them. Such was his resolve to conclude his mission and kill
as many Nigerians as possible. The only thing that stood in his way
and stopped him from achieving it was the due diligence and
professionalism of the First Consultants Hospital where he was
admitted and where he was diagnosed as having ebola and the
sheer courage, determination, fortitude and pure spirit of Dr.
Adadevoh who understood the implications of releasing him and
who stood her ground and refused to do so.
By that single act alone this noble lady saved the lives of thousands
of Nigerians. Unlike others in her profession she did not go on
strike, she did not abandon her post and she did not desert her
staff, her hospital or her patients. I sincerely hope that she will be
honored by the Nigerian people and by our government for her
efforts and her gallant contribution. I am not in the least bit
surprised by the remarkable role she played simply because she
comes from excellent stock and she is the product of a noble and
illustrious lineage.
She was the maternal great grandaughter of Herbert Macauly, the
founder of Nigerian nationalism, a great and courageous nationalist,
the scourge of the British colonialists, the founder of the first
Nigerian political party the Nigerian National Democratic Party
(NNDP), the founder of the Nigerian Youth Movement (NYM) and
the founder of one the most formidable political parties in our
history, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC).
She was also the maternal great, great grandaughter of Thomas
Babington Macauly, the founder of the first secondry school in
Nigeria, Christian Missionary Grammar School, Lagos (CMS
Grammar School). She was also the maternal great, great, great
grandaughter of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first African
Bishop of the Anglican Church, the man who first translated the
Holy Bible to yoruba, the man who first translated the Book of
Common Prayer to yoruba, the first Nigerian to be awarded a
Doctorate of Divinity from Oxford University in 1864 and the man
who introduced christianity to the Lagos Colony (as it then was)
and to most of south-western Nigeria. In terms of heritage, excellent
blood lines and good stock you can’t do much better than that. She
inherited this rich and illustrious ancestry from her mother who was
a Macauly.
Her paternal bloodlines were no less distinguished. Her father
Professor Babatunde Kwaku Adadevoh was the former Vice
Chancellor of the University of Lagos. He was a well respected,
internationally-acclaimed and very successful metabollic physician
and medical consultant. His father (Ameyo’s paternal grandfather)
was a leading member of one of the Royal houses in Ghana whilst
his mother (Ameyo’s paternal grandmother) was a distinguished
Nigerian. Ameyo’s paternal grandmother was actually Dr. Nnamdi
Azikiwe’s father’s sister. That makes Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, the
Owelle of Onitsha, the first President of Nigeria, the great nationalist
and one of the most revered statesmen and respected politicians in
our history her blood uncle.
Sadly Ameyo Adedovoh paid for her courage and fortitude with her
life because she contracted the virus from Sawyer and she died a
couple of weeks later. This was a lady of class and distinction and it
reflected in all that she did till the very end. This explains why it was
that when she discovered that she had been infected with the virus
she insisted on keeping herself in total isolation in her home so that
she would not infect anyone else until she contacted the officials of
the Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Federal Ministry of Health
and they came to pick her up. Right up until the end she was
thinking about the safety of others rather than herself.
Such commitment, valour and fortitude is rarely seen. The truth is
that she gave her life so that others may live. If there was ever a
Nigerian heroine that was worthy of adulation and adoration it was
this this deeply courageous and selfless lady. In her, her family
members and son have everything to be proud of and so do the
Nigerian people. I join millions of others in praying that her beautiful
and noble soul rests in perfect peace as she joins her illustrious
forefathers in the great beyond.
Permit me to take this opportunity to also commend the courage of
Justina Obi Ejelonu who was a junior colleague of Adadevoh at First
Consultants and who had helped to check Sawyer in and place him
in proper care the day that he was brought to the hospital from
Murtala Mohammed Airport with a fever. Like Ameyo Adadevoh,
Justina Obi Ejelonu has since passed away as a result of being
infected by Sawyer with the ebola virus. T here are no words to
describe the courage and the great sacrifice that these two ladies
have made for their fatherland and for their people. May they and all
that is their’s be blessed from generation to generation.

Why is FFK always hovering around other people's tragedy to get famous? You will never see him accomplishing anything. But once an evil befall someone else he will be writing long passages to tag his name to it.
