Thank God the intentions of Patrick Sawyer for Nigeria is not the will of God. May the souls of those whom he succeeded in infecting rest in peace. Amen. Nigerians should beware of how some west Africans hate them that if they had a weapon to wipe us out they would. Mr sawyer has tried and failed. 3 Likes |

Ramnon2: My parents and two brothers were under surveillance for 21 days and they completed the surveillance successfully. None of them came down with a fever. The house had been disinfected by Lagos State Ministry of Health soon after I was taken to the isolation centre. I thank God for shielding them from the plague.My recovery after discharge has been gradual but progressive. I thank God for the support of family and friends. I remember my colleagues who we lost in this battle. Dr. Adadevoh my boss, Nurse Justina Ejelonu, and the ward maid, Mrs. Ukoh were heroines who lost their lives in the cause to protect Nigeria. They will never be forgotten.I commend the dedication of the W.H.O doctors, Dr. David from Virginia, USA, who tried several times to convince me to specialize in infectious diseases, Dr. Carolina from Argentina who spoke so calmly and encouragingly, Mr. Mauricio from Italy who always offered me apples and gave us novels to read. I especially thank the volunteer Nigerian doctors, matrons and cleaners who risked their lives to take care of us. I must also commend the Lagos State government, and the state and federal ministries of health for their swift efforts to contain the virus. To all those prayed for me, I cannot thank you enough. And to my First Consultants family, I say a heartfelt thank you for your dedication and for your support throughout this very difficult period.I still believe in miracles. None of us in the isolation ward was given any experimental drugs or so-called immune boosters. I was full of faith yet pragmatic enough to consume as much ORS as I could even when I wanted to give up and throw the bottles away. I researched on the disease extensively and read accounts of the survivors. I believed that even if the mortality rate was 99%, I would be part of the 1% who survive.Early detection and reporting to hospital is key to patient survival. Please do not hide yourself if you have been in contact with an Ebola patient and have developed the symptoms. Regardless of any grim stories one may have heard about the treatment of patients in the isolation centre, it is still better to be in the isolation ward with specialist care, than at home where you and others will be at risk.I read that Dr. Kent Brantly, the American doctor who contracted Ebola in Liberia and was flown out to the United States for treatment was being criticized for attributing his healing to God when he was given the experimental drug, Zmapp. I don’t claim to have all the answers to the nagging questions of life. Why do some die and some survive? Why do bad things happen to good people? Where is God in the midst of pain and suffering? Where does science end and God begin? These are issues we may never fully comprehend on this side of eternity. All I know is that I walked through the valley of the shadow of death and came out unscathedAwesome God! Thank God you're alive to share this testimony ![]() Some of your colleagues are not that fortunate....they died as a result of the disease. They paid the price for millions of Nigerians to live...but God knows the best. I say a big congratulation to you for surviving this dreaded disease called Ebola. I declare that Ebola disease have died a natural death in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Life Lessons I learnt from her story 1. Information is very powerful. Being rightly informed saves lives! The same i-pad some people will use to play games so they can forget their pains or upload the dirty ceilings of the quarantine ward on FB, Twitter to shame their "clueless govt", is the same tool she used to stay informed and alive! 2. Winning (or losing) starts from the mind! What she told her mum on phone while she was wheeled to the isolation center showed a person that had greater chances of surviving. 3. Surrounding yourself with the right people. I'm so proud of her honestly. The people around her were awesome! Mother, husband, Pastor Friends etc. People that encouraged her all the way through 4. Maintaining a Balance in Life! See the way she balanced prayer and medication. Powerful woman! May God continue to keep and guide your home. 9 Likes |

You guys saying awesome God, why is there a virus in the first place? Why allow it infect his children? Why allow some people die and save the others ? Nonsense Create a virus that kills more than 2500 people till date just so that you can save a few of them and show your mighty power........that is the definition of warped thinking. There is no God in all this abeg, when the virus hit it was hand sanitizer that went scarce not bibles. ![]() 1 Like |

Ishilove: Morning dear. Yeah, its amazing how something that happened so far and remotely away could have such devastating consequences on random people who knew nothing of it and didn't deserve its trauma. This world and we who live in it are far, far more vulnerable than we think. No one can hide from what may be brewing somewhere in the plains of Kansas, the jungles of Amazonia or the mountains of inner Mongolia. Our life is like a mist. 1 Like |
