TRIBUTE TO A WARRIOR QUEEN!
I remember the days of Ebola.
Nigerians
were shockingly compliant. Do not touch me, don’t hug me, do not sit close to
me, just stay away.
We were
all so scared. A disease that kills in 8 days should scare you.
There
were so many things said by people that would help, and one of them was a salt
bath. You who is reading this post right now, you must have bathed with salt.
There was the fear of God put in our minds.
More
than anything we wanted a cure, and since we could not find one, we needed this
demon disease to stop spreading. We stopped it.
Not us.
Someone.
We had a
doctor. A woman. A warrior. Someone who saw this disease in Nigeria and made
moves to contain it immediately.
She
helped us survive this deadly disease.
Years
later, we remember her.
Gone,
but not forgotten, we stand, take a bow, and pay homage to Doctor Stella
Adadevoh, who on this day, while in the front lines, lost the battle to Ebola
while saving the entire country.
Our
Warrior Queen. Our very own Superhero. A SHERO forever!
