Adadevoh and the Ebola theory August 31, 2014 The manner the Ebola Virus Disease was smuggled into the country by the late Liberian-American citizen, Patrick Sawyer was a serious indictment on how carefree we are to issue of national security and protection of lives and property. It was unfortunate that many immigrants coming into the country always take advantage of our loose security measures to perpetrate wickedness. It was anonymously alleged in one of the national dailies that the office of the National Security Adviser had alerted the Ministry of Health on the possibility of smuggling the disease into the country and the need to screen every passenger at the ports of entry, but unfortunately, the security alertness was carelessly ignored. This neglect made the bioterrorist foreigner have access to the country. There was another story that the Liberian Government was privy to Sawyer’s illness before leaving Liberia for Nigeria, when he attended the burial of his sister who died of Ebola from where he contracted the disease. The attitude displayed by one of those who approved Sawyer’s journey to Nigeria raised the theory that it might be a bioterrorism attack. It was reported that the foreigner removed the drip that was used to transfuse blood into his veins and sprayed his contaminated blood on the doctor that attended to him. The hospital also refused to yield to pressure to discharge him. Millions of thanks to the patriotism, attruism and determination of Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh to follow due process that saved us in the country. Adadevoh proved her love for her people and her country to the point of paying the supreme price to save us by not allowing him to go away. The argument by Mrs. Sawyer that her late husband came to Nigeria to seek medical attention did not hold water. Since they know that Nigerians go to India, the US, Germany and other countries to seek medical help, why didn’t he go to the US where he was also a citizen? When the Liberian government discovered that he had contracted Ebola, why was he not quarantined and placed under observation? Why come to Nigeria if he was not on satanic mission? The conspiracy theory in this regard as painted by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode is instructive. I had expressed the same view earlier. The Nigerian church should rise to her spiritual obligation by liquidating all the works of Freemasons and New Agers in manipulating our nation to key into their New World Order’s arrangement of mass destruction of lives, through their biological weapon to wage biological warfare on the whole world. Why did the American physician that contacted Ebola in Sierra-Leone, Kent Brantly, refuse the only syringe of experimental serum at the hospital in US, insisting it be used on his partner who also contracted the deadly disease? The whole thing bogs down on economic warfare. It is high time that our medical practitioners rose from unethical strikes that are counterproductive and antithetical to their Hippocratic Oath. The Nigerian Medical Association would have earned the respect of many Nigerians, if they had put the welfare of the people at the front burner of their agitation to call off the belated strike when the country was faced with the threat of Ebola epidemic. But now that they called it off after they had made us to see the stock of people they are, is just to cover up their shame. Thanks to people such as Adadevoh and Justina Ejelonu, who laid down their lives to save the whole nation from what could have become a national calamity. Nigeria medical circle parades some of the finest practitioners in the ladder of professional global rankings, so if their counterparts in the US could produceZMappwhich happened to be working in the US as they made us to believe, andTKM Ebolaproduced in Canada, I hold the view that our doctors can also find solution to Ebola and other lethal diseases. Nevertheless, thanks to the fear of Ebola that taught our ruling class how to be responsive and responsible. In the US, it’s mandatory for every shopping mall, stores, restaurants including gas stations to have rest rooms open for public use. During my stay in the US, hand washing after toileting is not negotiable even in the house. It is a culture that everybody has to comply with. I wish this trend will not stop after the Ebola syndrome has died down. The governments at all levels should make lavatories functional in all their offices. All public places, restaurants and gas stations should be mandated to have rest rooms for their customers, with automated hand sanitisers and soaps available for washing of hands. These hygienic measures will limit the outbreak of Ebola.
