Courage, selfless commitment and an unwavering belief in a
cause are three essential but rare qualities of truly great leaders. Sometimes,
these leaders exhibit an uncommon commitment to a cause and go as far as laying
down their lives for a purpose they truly believe in. History will forever
revere the likes of Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Obafemi Awolowo
amongst few others as heroes. Our dear Dr. Adadevoh has certainly stamped her feet in the
sands of time as one of Nigeria’s heroines who fought like a true warrior the
battle against the Ebola Virus Disease and deserves to be commended, applauded
, celebrated and immortalized by Nigeria and Nigerians.
Dr. Adadevoh’s actions
were extremely courageous. She upheld in every sense of the word her
Hippocratic oath despite intense media generated trepidation, rejection of
patients by hospitals and even reluctance in volunteering of some of her medical
colleagues.
Dr. Adadevoh was selfless in the face of trials putting her
nation before herself. She refused to grant the now late Mr. Patrick Sawyer
access outside the hospital despite extreme pressure (even getting physical in
the process). In a statement she co-signed after the entire episode, it is
clear that her goal was one; preventing the spread of the Ebola Virus Disease
(and subsequent deaths) in Nigeria. Below is an excerpt from the statement
co-signed by Dr.
Adadevoh after the incident; “We hope that by our action of
preventing this gentleman from being extracted from our hospital and traveling
to Calabar we have been able to prevent the spread of EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE in
Nigeria.” To answer you posthumously my dear Doctor, yes you have! And we the
Nigerian people are extremely grateful for your selfless display of courage in
the face of adversity. We truly appreciate your efforts in stemming the tide of
this epidemic that was once raging our land. It is a shame that the jaws of
death chose to snatch your type through this Ebola Virus Disease.
One thing is sure; Nigerians would forever remember,
celebrate and be thankful to you for the significant role you have played in
keeping our land at peace. The closing part of the Hippocratic Oath reads thus;
“If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy
life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come;” Our
dearest Dr. Adadevoh , truly upheld that oath and fulfilled it beyond
expectations.
Though she may not be alive to “ enjoy life and art” , she
will long live in our hearts and be remembered by all in the present and even
in the future as one of Nigeria’s greatest ‘Medical Warriors’ who saved
thousands, possibly millions of lives.
Thanks

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
ReplyDeleteIts very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
