Nigerians Should Be Grateful To Patrick Sawyer by Nobody: 11:53am On Aug 27, 2014 |
Nigerians should be grateful to Patrick Sawyer and not curse him It's quite unfortunate that Patrick Sawyer brought Ebola virus to Nigeria, but if you look at it from another angle you will see that he did more good than harm If Mr Sawyer didn't bring this virus to Nigeria, the virus would have still found his way to Nigeria. Imagine if the virus was imported from a remote source by travelers and illegal immigrants due to our porous borders, don't you think the virus would creep into Nigeria and slowly spread into the massive ignorant populace But rather Patrick Sawyer who was a public figure was involved which prompted media attention and swift action from the federal government. It was because Mr Sawyer was involved that is why market women, mechanics, bus drivers, literate and non-literate Nigerians are aware of the EDV epidemic And trust Nigerians on such issues, we took it to another level and it spread like wildfire. Bbm, Twitter, Facebook, NAIRALAND were not left out on the campaign. TV and radio stations were also involved. At one point or the other people were adding salts, sugar and maggi to the story!! My conclusion is: If the diseases came from an unknown source, due to lack of awareness of Nigerians it would have killed more people in hundreds before our "proactive" government would step in, but Mr Patrick Sawyer made people to stop unnecessary handshakes, hugs etc and started wearing of hand gloves and taking precautions.

Yungwizzzy: Nigerians should be grateful to Patrick Sawyer and not curse him Your views are baseless i must say. Did you consider the loved ones we lost as a result of direct contact with the primary host? Even if he didn't come to Nigeria with the virus, we would have put our house in order in terms of preventive measures since the news about the virus was already put on high alert. And who knows, it may not have even gotten to Nigeria in the first place if Patrick Sawyer had not visited... 1 Like |

uboma: And do you know how many more loved ones we would have lost if it came in silently?? Even if he didn't come to Nigeria with the virus, we would have put our house in order in terms of preventive measures since the news about the virus was already put on high alert. I didn't expect this from you at all prior to Sawyer's incident did you see any campaign or advert on preventive measures to avoid Ebola on any Medium? put our house in order indeed!! And who knows, it may not have even gotten to Nigeria in the first place if Patrick Sawyer had not visited... Amen!! because those countries affected wrote application letter before Ebola visited them!! 3 Likes |

Yungwizzzy: Nigerians should be grateful to Patrick Sawyer and not curse him I don't agree with your views. All the neighbouring countries that share boundaries with Nigeria do not have cases of Ebola. 1 Like |
Re: Nigerians Should Be Grateful To Patrick Sawyer by Nobody: 2:22pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
Op you are very wrong! He shouldn't have entered Nigeria at the first place! Ebola is not in senegal,mali,burkinafaso,ghana,benin,togo,ivory coast,cameroon,Niger,...all in West Africa Ebola shouldn't be in Nigeria! Why Nigeria! Greatful my ass! Tell that to those innocent souls that lost their lives. Op you deserve a knock{sorry} but that's it. Sawyer brought Ebola into Nigeria...should we be grateful for that? The writer of this article should be in jail. 2 Likes |

Why should we thank the fool? .What make you think Ebola will not still crawl in from neighbouring countries in the nearest future? What has this country done to check new influx of the dreaded disease?. Mbok go siddon, this Imbe brought this death too soon to our shores. I wish he rot in the hottest art of hell |

Have they ruled out the possibility of contaminated mosquitoes that preyed on a victim or on an infected corpes transmitting the dreadful virus? |

redsun: Have they ruled out the possibility of contaminated mosquitoes that preyed on a victim or on an infected corpes transmitting the dreadful virus? It can't be spread by mosquito bites. But of course things change. |

Re: Nigerians Should Be Grateful To Patrick Sawyer by Nobody: 6:00pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
OP has good intentions but I think he got confused about use of English. We shouldn't be grateful to Sawyer personally. He's an irresponsible asshat - as an American citizen they would have helped him get out of Liberia somehow. He exposed a whole country to a scourge. What we should be thankful for was the circumstances in which he came to our shores. I hope you can decipher the difference, 1 Like |

From de point de op is driving to is making some facts.......this is what we refused to accept...... All we do is to lambast without solution........As d op has said.....we might have suffered more if not Patrick Sawyer's public figure !! |
Re: Nigerians Should Be Grateful To Patrick Sawyer by Ngwakwe: 6:30pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
This is called modulated insanity? How and why? Just because death is inevitable doesn't justify suicide neither does poverty which eventually kills justify selling your child for money. The same borders are still porous and Ivory Coast and Cameroon are yet to record a victim if the information at my disposal is still correct. Why then must it be Nigeria that would've gotten it in certainty and not even probability according to op's gospel? |

buskie13: From de point de op is driving to is making some facts.......this is what we refused to accept...... All we do is to lambast without solution........As d op has said.....we might have suffered more if not Patrick Sawyer's public figure !! You're not getting it but I'm sure you will if you just applied yourself. Sawyer as a person = we shouldn't be grateful. Sawyers incidence and circumstances around it = we should be appreciative. Think about it for a minute before you respond. |

Re: Nigerians Should Be Grateful To Patrick Sawyer by squaddy(m): 9:04pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
This is a very foolish thing to say. Would you say this same thing if the virus resulted in the demise of any member of your family? Your reasoning faculty should be checked ASAP(I mean that in a nice way) |
Re: Nigerians Should Be Grateful To Patrick Sawyer by Ngwakwe: 9:09pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
Yungwizzzy: The wife has already answered your question. Sawyer's wife said he (Patrick) believed that Nigeria has the best Medical facilities in West Africa to take care of him (her husband). |
Re: Nigerians Should Be Grateful To Patrick Sawyer by Nobody: 9:18pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
Ngwakwe: So more Ebola patients who presume that "Nigeria has the best medical facilities" would have rushed down here in their hundreds!! while the gullible ones will go to synagogue church!! |
Re: Nigerians Should Be Grateful To Patrick Sawyer by Nobody: 10:05pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
you are so right.... if it came into Nigeria by a smuggler or illegal immigrants, we would have lost a lot of people. Now according to the health minister there is only one case left of ebola in Nigeria. |
