In July 2014, while Lagos bustled with its usual chaos in the sweltering heat, a storm was brewing unknown to its lively residents.
It wasn’t a storm of traffic jams or fuel scarcity; this was deadlier. A man had arrived in Lagos via air travel, sweating and feverish. He even collapsed at the airport but nobody suspected what he was carrying with him in his body.
His name? Patrick Sawyer.
His condition? Highly contagious.
His disease? Ebola.
The world had been watching Ebola ravage West Africa, but Nigeria had yet to record a single case. That was about to change.
But there was no protocol. No preparation. And in a city of over 21 million people, even one mistake could mean disaster.
But one doctor stood between Nigeria and an epidemic.
Dr. Stella Adadevoh.
Here’s the story of how a Nigerian doctor stopped Ebola from spreading to potentially kill thousands but paid the ultimate price.

I have been selected to volunteer at this year’s World Water Week in Stockholm!
This year's theme, "Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future," focuses on the importance of water cooperation to promote peace and security in various areas:
human security, food and nutrition security, ecosystem security, energy security, and everything else connected to it.
I look forward to joining amazing people from across the globe to tackle water challenges and promote sustainable solutions. https://t.co/BFksnC8XAq

In 2021, I had this brilliant idea for the health space in Nigeria, but somehow it wasn’t realised due to forces beyond my control. Read an EU report published on 24th April 2024, that European Union is about to implement the same thing across EU. Exact details.
