Obi Justina Ejelonu is from Mbaise in Imo State, a graduate of Ebonyi State University Abakaliki and was previously working at Otunba Tunwase National Pediatric Centre Ijebu Ode in Ogun state before relocating to Lagos to work at First Consultant Hospital Obalende. Here's a post she shared on Facebook group - Igboville last week:
“I never contacted his fluids. I checked his vitals, helped him with his food (he was too weak)…..I basically touched where his hands touched and that's the only contact. Not directly with his fluids. At a stage, he yanked off his infusion and we had blood everywhere on his bed…..but the ward maids took care of that and changed his linens

with great precaution. Every patient is treated as high risk …..if it were airborne, by now wahala for dey. I still thank God.
Friends, up to our uniforms n all linens were burnt off. We r on surveillance n off work till 11th. Our samples v long bn taken by WHO n so far we v been fine. For me, kudos to my hospital managt cos we work professionally wt every patient considered risk cos thats d training. Had it been it's a hospital where they manage ordinary gloves lik Govt hospital n some supporter of APC private hosp..:lol….wahala for dey o. I must also thank Lagos Govt….infact! Even fed govt sef….all been supportive. I'm good n so r the others in d hosp…..”

SouthEastNigeria has since confirmed Justina was among those who attended to the Liberian Ebola patient, Mr Sawyer, in Lagos. She is currently being quarantined at Mainland hospital Yaba Lagos alongside about 40 others. This clinic is immediately after Yaba Tech. She is still alive and spoke with SEN yesterday on phone.

Justina had shared this on another Igbo Facebook page earlier on.

Touching story....just can't wait for that day when all this problems and fears will be over,that day when we can shake one another,hold hands freely and hug without being worried abt contracting this deadly desease....2014 is really gonna be a long year! But we wil surely smile at the end...its no longer abt stable electricity, nt abt bokoharam,nt even abt what to eat anymore...its nw abt hw we cn survive each passing day without being infected! Lord help us!
