Dr Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, a consultant physician, First Consultants Medical Centre, a Lagos-based hospital, died of Ebola disease Tuesday, August 19. Despite denials, she had summoned courage to carry out blood analysis that revealed the virus from Patrick Sawyer who imported the Ebola virus into Nigeria from Liberia. Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, a brilliant Consultant Endocrinologist, who died in active service to Nigeria, and in doing so greatly spared the nation from the widespread rampage that our sister West African countries are suffering from in this EVD outbreak. The late Dr. Adadevoh was the first child of the late world renowned Pathologist. Prof. Kwakwu Adadevoh, who was also a past Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Nigeria. She is also the niece of the owners of Clina Lancet Laboratory and the Great-Granddaughter of our hero past, Sir Herbert Macaulay. She was the Doctor who entertained a high index of suspicion that Patient Zero was suffering from EVD and thus refused to let him leave the First Consultant Hospital in Obalende, Lagos, when he and others pressured her for his discharge against medical advice. She promptly reported the case to the relevant Public Health authorities at State and Federal levels and thus saved many lives by doing this. 5 Likes

DonDiego: Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu - the man who saw tomorrow. Wole Soyinka - the man whose implacable opposition to injustice and tyranny is both ever-lasting and universal. Chinua Achebe - the man who spoke bitter truth to power regardless of whether that power was European (Western) or local (Nigerian.) How about you being our new generation hero? None of those tribalist "founding fathers" deserve to be an hero. The real hero is the Nigerian who despite all that our corrupt leaders has thrown at him, still manages to swim against the tide and survive on a daily basis. The average (legit)hustler on the street of Lagos is my hero. |

0merta:This distortion of history has to be stopped. At the time in the 60s when British stopped being VC of University of Ibadan, it was still purely a regional institution just like UNN and ABU Zaria. So Zik could not have imposed his tribesman on UI as u try to suggest. It was later on during the military regime that these universities were taken over by the Federal Military Government 1 Like |

pazienza: You forget to mention the strong Igbo men who were doing the "shoki" every night. It must be an arduous task, getting an e.rection nightly to birth the next generation of the Igbo nation. iKid iKid |

Marlboro1: And Ojukwu tried to solve Nigeria's problem how? By secession? By being one of the people who caused the loss of lives of millions of Nigerians but escaped with his? No bro, Ojukwu and his cohorts(the so-called founding fathers) didn't solve any problems. Rather, they compounded it. |

oluamid: study a little. all Ojukwu asked for was for a balanced and safe nigeria for all, but things went out of hand by the killing of Igbos. Read about Aburi Accord. TB zendy: Without a shadow of a doubt,Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu: 1] First graduate and quartermaster-Genral of the Nigerian army 2]Son of the richest man in West-Africa but chose to join the army as a lowly recruit- private even though he had degree from Oxford University at the time. 3]First Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria. 4]Amist the wholesale killing of easterners in the north,still chose to seek the peace and unity of Nigeria by going to Aburi,Ghana where he signed a peace agreement that required to recognise Gowon who was junior to him as head of state. 5]stood up against the northern domination of Nigeria when all others would not. 6] Declared the Republic of Biafra on 30th May 1967 when Gowon not only failed in his constitutional role to stop the killing of Igbos but also broke the terms of the Aburi agreement. 7] Ojukwu by declaring Biafra became the only Igbo man to this day who chose stand by his people above all considerations,even the notion of 'one Nigeria'. A great man he was. 2 Likes 1 Share |

iiiyyyk: Take your own advice about studying. I'm not going to go into the politics of who was right and who was wrong, but if Ojukwu was the saviour of the Igbo as you seem to think, then he could easily have shelved his secessionist plans to save Igbo lives. But no, he had to fight out a battle of wills against Gowon who to all intents and purpose had a larger army, equipment and was more prepared for war, thereby causing the death of the Igbos he was trying to save in the first place. Ironic, isn't it? Its one thing to rule but its another to lead. Ojukwu should have been able to sacrifice his own life for the "motherland" as he so easily inspired many to. He ought to "lead" from the frontlines not the comfort of his government house. Immediately the war got to his front steps, he ran away. Therein lies my problem with the man. |
