Nurse Justina Ejelonu : An Uncelebrated Icon. Omolola Adams by Omoladams(m): 9:35am On Aug 14, 2016 |
NURSE JUSTINA EJELONU : AN UNCELEBRATED ICON In any socitey certian people pay huge prices to redeem such society. In attempt of discharging one's loyalty to such society death is the highest price. Countless of such individuals as Malcolm X, George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr, John Brown, Susan B. Anthony, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Douglass, Henry Hudson Neil Armstrong just to mention but few contributed immensely to thier societies and paid highest price. Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian credited with importing Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) to Nigeria, contracted it when he travelled to Liberia for his sister’s burial. He collapsed at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos on Sunday July 20, 2014, and was hospitalised at First Consultant Medical Centre, Obalende, Lagos. However, on Thursday, 24th July, 2014, he died. NURSE JUSTINA EJELONU provided prompt nursing care despite the ravaging deadly virus engulfing neighbouring countries in which the victim was coming from to Nigeria and First Consultant Medical Centre graciously opened its gate to the dead agent. Nurse JUSTINA showed to the world that nursing profession is an humanitarian profession, an accolade of human dignity, a susceptible to danger profession, selflessness, caring, empathize, loving and nursing to peaceful death. It's already two years down the memory lane when nurse JUSTINA EJELONU laid down her life for this country in the course of discharging her professional responsibilities as a nurse and safeguard Nigeria from been engulfed by Ebola Virus. The Government has not deem it fit to immortalised this selfless NURSE, this is sending a bad signal to the younger ones in the society. Even in United State of America, the sitting president visited nurses that contracted the disease. That Government has concerned for its citizen and many are willing to do the same in thier respective endeavours. When will Nigeria government accord due recognitions to its faithful, selfless and dedicated citizens? NURSE JUSTINA EJELONU, you shall remain in our hearts forever, even if the government see nothing good in laying down your life, The Nigeria Nurses see extraordinary manifest of your nursing care. You shall be celebrated in the nursing world. ADIEU JUSTINA EJELONU!!!!

I was actually wondering why it was only the Dr recognition was given to, they forgot the first person to attend to the patient, the person who would have called the DR's attention to the patient, the person who would have basically rendered most of the care to the patient.....hardly will you hear people mention her name. She died and was not celebrated but we know the Dr would not have not been able to stop sawyer without the nurse's help. We remember you nurse Ejelonu....RIP. 3 Likes |
