In a write-up titled, '' a virus called ebola and the secret club from hell'' I wrote that Patrick Sawyer, the American/Liberian who brought
the Ebola virus to Nigeria “was an evil man with an evil intention and
purpose’’
. I went further by writing that, ‘’worst still he was not working
alone. Some people, and I mean rich, powerful and well-connected people, were
working with him.
As a matter of fact, they sent him on the mission’’. I stand
by those words and I maintain, as I argued in that essay, that there is an
“Illuminati’’ connection to the whole Ebola episode.
I urge those that are
skeptical about this and that have not read that write-up to google it and do
so. This short contribution is something of an addendum to that essay.
Secondly, because Nigeria has just lost a woman of substance and one of her
brightest and best, who happens to be a medical practitioner, to the Ebola
virus as a direct consequence of Sawyer’s sinister and nefarious activities.
Those who refuse to accept the fact that there is a hidden agenda unfolding
here and that refuse to believe that there is a mysterious and diabolical force
working behind the scenes ought to attempt to explain to us why it was that the
Liberian deputy finance minister, Mr. Sebastian Omar, gave Sawyer permission to
travel to Nigeria though he knew that he was infected with Ebola and though he
knew that his sister had just died from the same disease.
Sawyer was an ECOWAS
official who had sought permission to travel to Nigeria for an ECOWAS summit.
He knew that he had ebola and according to his wife’s testimony he avoided
contact with as many people as possible in Liberia before he came to Nigeria.
Yet, when he got to Nigeria, he told the medical authorities that he simply had
a fever and attempted to hide the fact that he had a highly contagious terminal
disease which was capable of spreading throughout our nation and killing as
many people as the infamous and dreaded bubonic plague that wiped out 60 per
cent of Europe’s population between 1,346 and 1,363.
Those that doubt this
thesis should explain away the contradictions and inexplicable behaviour of
this strange and demented Liberian whose string was obviously being pulled from
elsewhere.
Worse still, they ought to explain to us why it was that after the
demon landed in our shores, after the affliction was unleashed, after the
damage had been done and after a number of our people have been infected with
the virus as a consequence of their direct interaction with Sawyer, why the
Liberian minister boastfully and arrogantly told the world that he “refused to
apologise to Nigeria’’ for his error of judgement even though that error had
led to panic, fear, disease and numerous deaths in our country.
What a beast of
a Minister this horrible little man called Sebastian Omar is. His words are not
only unacceptable but they are also utterly outrageous.
He is a harbinger of
death and destruction and he ought to be held directly responsible for the evil
and tragedy that has befallen our people.
How I wish that the Federal
Government and specifically our Minister of Health and Minister of Foreign
Affairs had mustered the courage to give him an earful for his sheer
insensitivity and wickedness.
The truth is that Sawyer, with the full backing
of those that sent him, arrived in Nigeria with a clear understanding about
what he intended to do.
His deadly mission was simple and clear. Had it not
been for the efforts of a very brave woman by the name of Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh,
who refused to release him from the hospital in which he had been admitted,
despite the enormous pressure that was brought to bear upon her to do so by the
Liberian Ambassador and a few Nigerians in high places, Sawyer would have
spread the virus, with it’s lethal package of death, to many other people in
Lagos.
This would undoubtedly have resulted in an uncontrollable and deadly
epidemic and many lives would have been lost.
Worse still, this terrible plague
would have also ended up in Calabar which was Sawyer’s ultimate destination.
I
suspect that after spreading his deadly load in Calabar, he would also have
touched Abuja as well. That way he would have ‘’covered’’ and ‘’treated’’ both
of Nigeria’s two old capital cities and the new in a spectacular triangle and
pyramid of death.
What better way to effect his purpose? If he had succeeded in
this monstrous venture, Nigeria would have never been the same again.
Sawyer’s
behaviour at the hospital was instructive and revealing. When he was told that
he would not be allowed to leave, in a fit of rage and frustration, he removed
the drip that was used to transfuse blood into his veins and sprayed his blood
all over Adadevoh and some of her nursing staff.
He also poured his urine all
over them. Such was his resolve to conclude his mission and kill as many
Nigerians as possible.
The only thing that stood in his way and stopped him
from achieving it was the due diligence and professionalism of the First
Consultants Hospital where he was admitted and where he was diagnosed as having
Ebola and the sheer courage, determination, fortitude and pure spirit of Dr. Adadevoh
who understood the implications of releasing him and who stood her ground and
refused to do so.
By that single act alone this noble lady saved the lives of
thousands of Nigerians. Unlike others in her profession she did not go on
strike, she did not abandon her post and she did not desert her staff, her
hospital or her patients.
I sincerely hope that she will be honored by the
Nigerian people and by our government for her efforts and her gallant
contribution. I am not in the least bit surprised by the remarkable role she
played simply because she comes from excellent stock and she is the product of
a noble and illustrious lineage.
She was the maternal great granddaughter of
Herbert Macauley, the founder of Nigerian nationalism, a great and courageous
nationalist, the scourge of the British colonialists, the founder of the first
Nigerian political party the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP), the
founder of the Nigerian Youth Movement (NYM) and the founder of one the most
formidable political parties in our history, the National Council of Nigeria
and the Cameroons (NCNC).
She was also the maternal great, great granddaughter
of Thomas Babington Macauley, the founder of the first secondry school in
Nigeria, Christian Missionary Grammar School, Lagos (CMS Grammar School).
She
was also the maternal great, great, great granddaughter of Bishop Samuel Ajayi
Crowther, the first African Bishop of the Anglican Church, the man who first
translated the Holy Bible into Yoruba language, the man who first translated
the Book of Common Prayers to Yoruba, the first Nigerian to be awarded a
Doctorate of Divinity from Oxford University in 1864 and the man who introduced
Christianity to the Lagos Colony (as it then was) and to most of south-western
Nigeria.
In terms of heritage, excellent blood lines and good stock you can’t
do much better than that. She inherited this rich and illustrious ancestry from
her mother who was a Macauley.
Her paternal bloodlines were no less
distinguished. Her father, Professor Babatunde Kwaku Adadevoh, was the former
vice chancellor of the University of Lagos.
He was a well respected,
internationally-acclaimed and very successful metabolic physician and medical
consultant. His father (Ameyo’s paternal grandfather) was a leading member of one
of the Royal houses in Ghana whilst his mother (Ameyo’s paternal grandmother)
was a distinguished Nigerian.
Ameyo’s paternal grandmother was actually the
sister of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe’s father. That makes Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, the
Owelle of Onitsha, the first President of Nigeria, the great nationalist and
one of the most revered statesmen and respected politicians in our history her
blood uncle.
Sadly, Ameyo Adedovoh paid for her courage and fortitude with her
life because she contracted the virus from Sawyer and she died a couple of
weeks later.
This was a lady of class and distinction and it reflected in all
that she did till the very end. This explains why it was that when she
discovered that she had been infected with the virus she insisted on keeping herself
in total isolation in her home so that she would not infect anyone else until
she contacted the officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Health and the
Federal Ministry of Health and they came to pick her up.
Right up until the end
she was thinking about the safety of others rather than herself. Such
commitment, valour and fortitude is rarely seen.
The truth is that she gave her
life so that others may live. If there was ever a Nigerian heroine that was
worthy of adulation and adoration, it was this deeply courageous and selfless
lady. In her, her family members and son have everything to be proud of and so
do the Nigerian people.
I join millions of others in praying that her beautiful
and noble soul rests in perfect peace as she joins her illustrious forefathers
in the great beyond.
Permit me to take this opportunity to also commend the
courage of Justina Obi Ejelonu who was a junior colleague of Adadevoh at First
Consultants and who had helped to check Sawyer in and place him in proper care
the day that he was brought to the hospital from Murtala Mohammed Airport with
a fever.
Like Ameyo Adadevoh, Justina Obi Ejelonu has since passed away as a
result of being infected by Sawyer with the ebola virus.
There are no words to
describe the courage and the great sacrifice that these two ladies have made
for their fatherland and for their people.
May they and all that is their’s be
blessed from generation to generation.
