Today Sunday, October 27th, would have been Dr. Stella Adadevoh's 63rd birthday.
She saved the nation from what would have been a disastrous epidemic (Ebola virus).
I choose to remember her today so I can let Nigerian know that there is still a little good and selflessness inside of us if we look deep.
She could have been selfish, she could have played ignorant, she could have been wicked after all she never bargained for it, but she choose not to. Its that choice she made, that made this country escape that epidemic.
I choose to remember her and her brave nurses this day.

She is credited with having curbed a wider spread of the Ebola virus in Nigeria by placing the patient zero, Patrick Sawyer, in quarantine despite pressures from the Liberian government. When threatened by Liberian officials who wanted the patient to be discharged to attend a conference, she resisted the pressure and said, “for the greater public good” she would not release him. She is known for preventing the Nigerian index case from leaving the hospital at the time of diagnosis, thereby playing a key role in curbing the spread of the virus in Nigeria. On 4 August 2014, it was confirmed that she had tested positive for Ebola virus disease and was being treated. Adadevoh died in the afternoon of 19 August 2014. She was survived by her husband Afolabi and son Bankole among other relatives.

Ebola!

She was indeed a heroine.

Nigeria will not forget your name.

Fûck you Patrick Sawyer.
#93days

God continue to bless her soul, rare Gem she was. I hope the government can immortalise her

I saluate your heroic bravery madam in the service of greater good. You did not bow to pressure from the Liberian government to release Patrick Sawyer the first Ebola virus victim. You created a makeshift quarantine and helped curb the spread of the deadly virus with a high mortality rate.
Millions were bound to die. You averted a danger worst than those posed by Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram. A public holiday should be declared in your favor. Also I hail all the medical personnel's that worked hand in hand with you during the time Nigerian needed you most
Utimately, you paid with your life in defence of my country.

You are the super woman I know.

May your family find the strength to bear this loss

True hero of our time. She is the saviour of Nigerians. Because of her millions of Nigerians are alive today, yes, even most of us commenting here on NL.

God bless her soul and rest her well.

She deserves to have a national holiday on the day of her passing. Including that nurse who also died.

God bless them both.

Happy birthday to her.

And to quickly educate the OP (original poster), she didn't avert the Ebola virus singlehandedly. She did it with a team of medical personnels. I wonder why she gets most (if not all) of the credit.

our own local hero



..

R.I.P to the woman.

African excellent, greatest Nigeria woman ever

Rip doc .. U were indeed a hero

May she continue resting in peace, though the nation she died for is not living in peace

We need to celebrate this woman with an angelic heart

Nigerians are the only one remembering her not even our FG.

Its a pity

May her soul continue to rest in peace
Indeed she's from a family of selfless heroes being Herbert Macaulay 's grand daughter

Great Woman

Why does this woman waste her life for this devilish country...She could have told that man to go to aso rock or burdillion or alausa or any of the government house in Nigeria and start distributing Ebola to those polithievians...
By now, many of them could have gone ....

Madam, Nigeria is not worth dying for... We lost you. What a pity!
May your dear soul rest in perfect peace...

Rip always legend

RIP DOC. these are people who have passion for the profession.

Rip

Happy birthday to a real hero. We'll never forget your name and what you did for this country Doc. I sincerely hope you are doing better on the other side of existence.

At least today we have a tread that's going to be without any negative comment or vibe...

Hero indeed! RIP, mam

You won't see this country honor people like these only useless people get recognition in Nigeria.

Selfless.

Rest on ma... She's surely in paradise

MrHistorian:
Happy birthday to her.

The Lead consultant/specialist is always the one that's referenced in every or most medical cases. Ben Carson didn't perform that op on the conjoined twins alone but he is the only one known worldwide.

Happy post-humous birthday Dr.Stella.You sacrificed for humanity.

You sacrificed your life to save million of Nigerians. You are indeed an uncommon heroine. Happy Post Humors Birthday.

Heavens alone know your worth ma... Continue to rest in perfect peace ma

Continue to Rest in peace. She laid her life so others will be free from the disease.
