discovered in 1972, the
human race has never seen
nor witnessed a deadlier or
more devastating disease
that sweeps across the face of human race,
leaving humans and animals dead in its
wake in an unimaginable magnitude.
The recent re-emergence of the Ebola virus
which parade African continent especially
West African countries showed high
precedence rate in the countries like
Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone which due
to poor health care and disease
containment protocols in the prevalent
countries helped the spread.
Unfortunately, late Liberian-American,
Patrick Sawyer’s importation of the disease
into Nigeria created a massive scare in the
highly populated country. Since then,
Nigeria struggled to contain the spread of
the virus in the country; unfortunately
seven lives were lost in the process, three
being health-care workers.
The Minister of health, Prof. Onyebuchi
Chukwu, announced the successful
containment of the dreaded Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD) in the country. According to
Prof. Chukwu, who made this known in a
statement through his Special Assistant on
Media and Communication, Mr. Dan
Nwomeh, said:
“At present, there is no single current case
of confirmed EVD in Nigeria. However, a
suspected case of EVD from Ile- Ife, a
university student who had contact with the
late Port Harcourt doctor at a naming
ceremony in Port Harcourt has been
quarantined and is being investigated.”
Currently, the University Student from Ile-
Ife after being investigated has also been
declared negative after having undergone
the necessary tests.
Reactions from people across Nigeria
showed almost the same level of
excitement and joy for the country being
finally declared free from the disease that is
highly capable of wiping out whole families.
“The management of this deadly virus is the
best we’ve got in Nigeria for decades. The
Health Minister surely deserves
commendation from Nigerian for a job well
done. Nigeria health sector has done what
the whole world including USA is unable to
do. Thank you for saving the life of
Nigerians and also making us a force to
reckon with globally,” said Omotaye Kolade.
Vincent Gagazie, heaped encomiums on the
Nigerian health authorities and health
workers who lost their lives in the battle to
rid the country of the Ebola Virus
“Well done. A rare Nigerian success story,”
he said.
“However, a lot of credit must go to the late
Dr. Stella Adadayeh for the professional
manner with which she handled the index
case (Mr. Patrick Sawyer) even at the risk of
losing her own life (which unfortunately
happened) and thus prevented the EVD
spiraling out of control in our country.
“The Federal Government must ensure that
her name is immortalized. Credit must also
go to the Lagos State Govt. for the prompt
way in which they handled the situation
(information control and setting up
isolation ward, etc.) and finally credit to the
Federal Government and ministry of health
for the crucial role they played in ensuring
that the EVD did not spread.
However, we must not rest on our oars. As
long as the EVD remains unchecked in
Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone; we must
be extremely vigilant and ensure that
constant surveillance is maintained at our
entry points (airports, seaports and land
border crossings) to ensure that no future
idiotic Patrick sawyers’ types enter our
country,” he added.
Emmanuel Agomuo expressed his opinion
thus;
“I wish we can do the same to corruption.”
A Cameroonian, Fang Roland said:
“I’m from Cameroon. I hail you Nigeria
health authority for a job well done. You are
they king of Africa. Keep the fire burning
and never allow it to go out.”
Eniola said: “If Nigeria can conquer EVD
within a short period of time… well, I’m
sorry to say that we still have several EVD to
fight among our politician, let us all stand
up and fight against corruption in Nigeria.”
In this respect, Nigerians now celebrate a
healthier life, culminating with the return
of their wards to school, and free extension
of handshakes with their colleagues and
acquaintances without fear and lots more.
This is one milestone and outstanding
achievements in the health sector and we
say kudos to those that worked tirelessly in
steering the boat while the wind raged.

wow

The fact that they are being qurantined doesnt mean they have Ebola. They might soon be discharged

For now, Nigeria has no confirmed case of the EVD virus

Thanks to the President, the health minister, the governor of Lagos state, other concerned persons, and above all, the late doctor - Stella, for her gallant fight against the contagious disease. Even though you succumbed to the disease, your name will never succumb in the history of Nigeria.
