A day after the World Health Organization declared Nigeria free of Ebola, the doctor who treated the country's first case of the deadly virus and later died from the disease herself is being hailed as a hero for helping stop the outbreak.

Dr. Stella Ameyo Adadevoh, a doctor at First Consultant Hospital, oversaw treatment of Patrick Sawyer, Nigeria's Ebola patient zero, when he arrived sick in Lagos, Nigeria's former capital and Africa's largest city, on a flight from Liberia in July.

Adadevoh fought to isolate Sawyer, a top official in the Liberian Ministry of Finance who did not take kindly to isolation and lied about his symptoms, officials said.

"Immediately, he was very aggressive," Dr. Benjamin Ohiaeri, the hospital's director, told the BBC. "He was more intent on leaving the hospital than anything else. He was screaming. He pulled his intravenous [tubes] and spilled the blood everywhere."

Adadevoh, the Telegraph writes, "effectively saved the country from disaster by spotting that its first Ebola patient was lying about his condition, and then stopped him leaving her clinic."

Sawyer, who had been caring for his Ebola-stricken sister, was reportedly set on visiting one of Nigeria's Pentecostal churches "in search of a cure from one of the so-called miracle pastors," the BBC said.

"The Liberian ambassador started calling Dr. Adadevoh, putting pressure on her and the institution," Ohiaeri said. "He felt we were kidnapping the gentleman and said it was a denial of his fundamental rights and we could face further actions. ... The only way we could be sure and live up to our responsibility to our people, the state and nation — this is all about patriotism at the end of the day — was to keep him here."

Sawyer, 40, collapsed in Lagos on July 20 after getting off a plane from Liberia. He died just five days later. Adadevo and 11 colleagues were infected with Ebola.

"She was fine all along and then suddenly it became apparent," Adadevoh's son Bankole Cardoso told the news service.

She died on Aug. 19.

"We lost some of our best staff," Ohiaeri said. "Dr. Adadevoh had been working with us for 21 years and was perhaps one of the most brilliant physicians. I worked with her. I know that she was sheer genius."

Thanks to patient isolation and aggressive contact tracing (including 18,500 visits to 894 people), Nigeria had just 20 Ebola cases, including eight deaths — a far lower death rate than the 70 percent seen elsewhere.

Cardoso, still mourning the loss of his mother, says it's become "more and more apparent exactly what she had done" in identifying Sawyer as patient zero.

"It really helped Nigeria to prepare and get ready to trace everybody," Cardoso said. "And I think that's the difference between us and our West African neighbors — Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone."

Rui Gama Vaz, WHO director for Nigeria, called the containment of Ebola in the most populous country in Africa a "spectacular success story."

"But we must be clear that we only won a battle," Vaz added. "The war will only end when West Africa is also declared free of Ebola."

SonofIssachar:
- B. Killebrew

I had a little puppy dog
That loved to chase his tail.
He was especially quick,
And he chased it very well.

Although he never caught that tail
He kept it on the run
And got a lot of exercise
From dawn ‘til setting sun.

But there was nothing he could chew on
When he finally took his rest,
Although no one could ever say
He didn’t try his best.

That’s a lot like chasing dreams
You can’t hope to attain—
You can chase them all your life,
But your chase will be in vain;

But if you aim at things in front
That you can clearly see,
You’ll find that they are stepping stones
Toward where you want to be.

Meditation: Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 3:13-14

You will succeed in Jesus Name!

MUST READ: Ten Reasons Why Sex Should Wait Until Marriage

https://s5.favim.com/orig/69/art-bed-blog-boy-Favim.com-640681.jpg


1.Sex is a powerful force that can destroy if not used properly. Like atomic power, sex is the most powerful creative force given to man. When atomic power is used correctly it can create boundless energy; when it is used in the wrong way it destroys life. Sex is the same kind of powerful force. Sex is a gift from God to give us the greatest pleasure, to help in
creating a deep companionship with one’s
spouse and for procreation of the next
generation. But if you play with this powerful force outside the bounds of marriage, it destroys you and those close to you.

2.Sexual activity for young people arrests their psychological, social and academic
development. Studies show that when young people engage in premarital sex, their academic performance declines and their social relationships with family and friends deteriorate. This is because adolescents are too immature to deal with the explosive sex drive and it tends to dominate their life.

3.The majority of women cannot enjoy sex outside of the bonds of marriage. The
development of a fulfilling sex life needs the security and peace of the marriage bond.
Premarital sex usually takes place sneaking around in hidden places dealing with the fear of being caught, the fear of pregnancy and feelings of guilt. All these (worrisome) factors undermine pleasure in premarital sex, most especially for women.

4.Virginity is to be given to the most important person in your life, the person you committed yourself to stay with forever in marriage. Your virginity is the most precious thing you have to give to your spouse. Once you lose it, nothing in the world can bring it back. Don’t lose something so precious in a thoughtless way.

5.Those who engage in premarital sex run a high risk of contracting one of the many
venereal diseases rampant today, as well as losing their fertility. Not just AIDS, but other common disfiguring diseases like herpes have no cure.

6.Some venereal diseases have no symptoms and many couples discover many years later that they became infertile because of these diseases. Infertility experts estimate that 80%
of today’s infertility is due to venereal diseases contracted before they married.

7.The best and only method that guarantees 100% against AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases is to wait for marriage to have sex and maintain fidelity in your marriage.

8.Premarital sex breaks the 10 Commandments given by God. The 10 Commandments are given to man by God to make man happy. They are not outdated and they are not restrictive. If we follow these laws, we can create happy and prosperous lives. If we don’t follow them, we will pay a heavy price in divorce, disease, abortions, illegitimate children and loneliness. Modern men make a big mistake when they think that they can break these eternal laws and not suffer consequences.

9.Premarital sex runs the risk of conceiving illegitimate children. Numerous scientific studies show that the children of single mothers suffer psychologically and are less successful socially and academically than children from intact families. Above all, children need both their father and their mother. It is wrong to risk having children who will never have their father’s love, protection and care.

10.If you date and you don’t have sex, you can forget about that relationship when you stop dating. But if you have sex with those you date and then break up, the nature of sexual involvement creates strong, often unpleasant memories for your whole life. Every relationship you break up where you had intimate relations is like a mini-divorce. The psychological difficulties of these mini-divorces does damage to your character. Later, when
you are married and go to bed with your beloved spouse, these unpleasant
memories will accompany you.

# True love waits. If a boy or girl truly loves you, they will want the best for you. They will not want you to suffer fear of disease, unwanted pregnancy and the psychological difficulties of premarital sex.

They will want to experience love with you only in the very best place of all – the love nest of marriage.

Before i counter your Ridiculously flawed motion let me make sure you would understand the points i am about to make, Have you had any form of sexual experience before, either self service or actual sex?
1. comparing atomic power to mans sexual exploits is ridiculous,,,Nature developed sex has a way of procreation, just has other Animals use sex for procreation, u don't see dogs, cattle, spiders,birds getting married before they procreate , in the course of procreation, man discovered the pleasures of sex and decided to use it more often for pleasure rather than procreate.
2. I am very active sexually and it has never since i started in secondary school affected ma academic performance,,,,i am a graduate of FUT,minna civil engineering faculty and i can boldly tell you sex did not affect me,, the effect of sex on ma academics or physiological state is infinitesimal. On the contrary Sex is natures antidote for anxiety,,once you ejaculate you feel relieved and relaxed.....some doctors even prescribe sex 3 times a week to reduce stress
3 Your statistics is flawed because you didnt provide figures and evidence of research....And your point is Biased towards women, why is it women? what of men?.....Evrybody enjoys sex very fine, married or unmarried ...just for laughs,let me ask you, Did Adam and eve get married before they started procreating?
4. How can virginity be the most important thing you can give to your spouse?....Is a roof to live under not important? Financial and social security? Faithfullines? love?
7. Is sex the only method of contracting AIDS?, because it is the most common and effective dosnt mean you are 100% guaranted to avoid AIDS if you avoid premarital sex......sharing blades, nidles, blood transfusion are other methods
Am tired of typing.....but let me tell you one last thing,,,Too much of everything is bad,,,too much of sleep is bad for the body....

in 2011 elections CPC won 1 state, 6 seats in the senate, 21 seats in the house of rep, please compare these places where they won with the places APGA and PDP won and clearly tell us how GMB ideology has made any difference

or also lets dont forget that GMB was very much active with ANPP since 2006 or there about
again please compare where they had a strong hold on with where PDP won

APC and PDP are two sides of thesame coin........Nigerians deserv better.....we have been through enough trials to settle for anytin less..........
but because of our conundrum.we are forced to chose between GEJ and Buhari, let me annalyse them both
GEJ- he captivated our hearts with his humble beginings and the fact that he was from a minority ethnic group nailed it all but GEJ has failed,disapointed and exploited Nigerians,,,u dont have to be too intelligent to rule succesfully, u just need to appoint intelligent peole has ur advisers and ministers.....A failed to appoint people based on credibity, rather he allowed nepotism cloued his judgment.....
GEJ and his appointees have been involved in one corruption case or another,,,,,20billion went missing, althou okonji iwela said it was jst $10billion, where in the world is the money?.....stella odua embezeeld millions of dollars, it took the Grace of God for GEJ to call her to order......look,, GEJ problem is his ineptitude towards the management of the countries afairs,, people have become too blatant in their embezzlement,, they no longer still in secret,,,they come out to do it and GEJ would defend them...
BUHARI- His major problem is not from his qualification but from his ethnic and religious background.....Nigerians are not yet matured enough to look past such and elcect it,,,,,when he ruled,,,,corruption and indecipline was reduced to the bearest minimum
N.B. Please if u wont vote Buhari because he is a muslim, northerner or too old,,,,,reserve ur vote or rather vote for any other aspirant that contest agasint GEJ and buhari.....
GEJ is not a good opposite of Buhari.....,,,,,,GEJ is a good man who just found himself with too much power that he can handle

Even if the only attribute and action Buhari can bring to Nigeria is dismantling of corruption.....i think thats a good reason to Vote for him....GEJ has dissapointed Nigeria,,,,we expexteced so much from him, he fooled us all with his humility and humble background and the fact that he is from a minority ethnic group stole our hearts.....GEJ had the chance to make history in Nigeria but he failed,,,,,,The National Pride is at its lowest ever, people are now so bolded that they dont still in millions anymore,,they steal in Billions of dollars.......and even when caught they are bold enough not to resign but rather the GEJ would go on TV to defend them that " People who steal are not corrupt, small stealing and Nigerians would start shouting corruption" those are his exact words.....This is disgeacefull
In a normal country with sensible citizens, we ought to have demanded his resignation but yet we celebrate him like a God
Please Nigerians,, if you wont vote Buhari because he is a muslim or he is too old or he is from the north......dont vote at all, just reserv ur vote, or vote anyother candidate thats contesting along side them ,GEJ is not a better opposite of buhari, GEJ is too careless, people might say Nigeria Economy improved, Nigeria is more developed and all that but GEJ is stealing and allowing people in his cabinate to steal at an alarming rate,,,,,Presidents in civilized countires have been voted out for wayy less ,,,,,,VOTE WISELY

plaetton:
This past week, there was triumph and jubilation in India as the people of India proudly showcased their Can-do attitude when their Mars mission craft successfully took orbit on Mars, earth's neighboring planetary body.

India has not only proved that education, scientific education specifically, is an equalizer, but that determination and financial frugality is not a myth in developing economies.

I have sounded the alarm, that their is a quite but very frantic space race happening at this very moment.
Aside from the well-known missions of the US and Russia, Britian and the EU have recently joined the fray with their own Mars missions.
For anyone paying attention, China just landed a craft on the moon not too long ago. Japan already has a Mars mission as well as elaborate plans for future space missions.
Brazil, and even Iran have also gone far in their space programs and missions.

From both an economic and military point of view, whoever controls or dominates space will inevitatbly dominate and control the Earth.
So for the future, the presence and dominance of space will, just like in the colonial era, determine who is going to master and who is going to be slave.

It is for this reason that any nation worth it's salt does not want to be left behind.

It is worthy to note that the US congress and senate recently passed a bill authorizing private corporations to claim as property any resources (or technology?) that the corporation discover in space.
So, the scramble for the infinite resources ( and technological artifacts ?) of space has begun in earnest.

I reiterate this again will all seriousness:
Africans hoping and waiting to be raptured should beware, otherwise, they may just find themselves on the dark side of the moon digging for precious metals , as space slaves.

I do not think that fundamental human rights extends beyond our planet.

The anoying part is the Europians and Asians brought religion to us but now they have left religion behind in a scrammble for wealth and technological advancement while Africans are still busy fighting over religion

And what has atheism contributed to the growth of humanity?

Immorality? Smdh!

MrOlai:
MIRACLE OF THE HOLY QURAN:
Sea is mentioned 32 times in Quran. Land is mentioned 13 times in Quran.
Sea(32) + Land(13) = 45
Sea = 32/45 x 100 = 71.111%
Land = 13/45 x 100 =28.889%
Land + Sea = 100%.

Modern science has recently proven that water covers 71.111% of the earth, while the land covers 28.889% !

The problem with the so called miracles in the Quran is the depend upon aleeady existing Result .....The land and sea existed before the Quran,, so its invalid for it to become a mirracle becasue the Quran probably quoted the numbers......and wait let me let you about a scientifit flaw in your calculations......In science you dont work backwards,,,,,u dont calculate after havig a result.........u calculate before a result,,,,,,sceince ( Observation - Experiment - Result ),,,Quran ( Result - Experiment - Observation)
And trying to use Science to validate the Quran is hypocrisy,,,,,,,,,Science totally contradicts the Quran om everytin

No.3 is wrong,,Ethiopia was never colonised or conquered,,,, The Italians tried but had too many casualties and withdrew

Atleast 25 members of the Boko Haram
terrorists group were on Sunday night killed by
troops of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army in
Damboa Local Government Area of Borno state.
Security officials have said.
The attack on Damboa had cast much doubts
that many concerned had expressed over the
much talked- about ceasefire deal the federal
government said it signed on Friday with the
Boko Haram gunmen.
It would be recalled that Boko Haram had on the
17th of July 2014 hoisted their flags in Damboa
after a deadly gunbattle that left, five
policemen, several soldiers and Lieutenant
Colonel Commanding the military base in
Damboa dead with property worth billions of
naira destroyed.
A reliable security source in Maiduguri told our
Correspondent that the insurgents invaded
Damboa town at about 5:15pm on Sunday.
Damboa is south and 85km drive from
Maiduguri, the state capital. It also share
borders with Sambisa forest where Boko Haram
has its largest suspected training camp.
A resident of Damboa, Mallam Aji Bukar Kura who
was among hundreds that fled to Chibok for
safety during the attack however said, they were
considering coming back to Damboa today
(Monday) as they were informed by security
operatives that the attack was repelled and more
than two dozens of them were killed.
Another source said “terrorists numbering over
100 in 7 Hilux pickup vans and motorcycles fully
armed with Rocket Propelled Launchers,
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), AK47 rifles
stormed the town on Sunday night, they realized
that the town has started picking up live
following returning back of many fleeing
residents after military took over from the
terrorists who had captured the town in June
this year, but we are happy that they were
confronted”.
He however commended the gallantry effort of
the military troops in Damboa for successfully
repelling the attack which led to the killing over
over 20 terrorists with the recovery of arms and
ammunitions.
A text message sent to the Director Defence
Information, Major General Chris Olukolade
successfully delivered and a phone call put to
him for confirmation was not answered as at
press time.
But a top security source who is not authorized
to talk to the press confirmed the incident in
Maiduguri yesterday. He said, “There was an
attack on Damboa on Sunday evening and our
soldiers had effectively repelled them and killed
25 of them during a shootout.
“The soldiers were able to recover several
ammunition including a ‘Buffallo Armoured
Personnel Carrier which the terrorists
abandoned”, he said. End
