Nigerians have reacted to the seemingly bizarre turn of events that saw a Liberian-American, against all odds, board a plane and introduce the Ebola virus in the country's commercial capital.
Vanguard describes the man Patrick Sawyer and gives the Nigerian perception of the now-deceased man who will be remembered not for his curriculum vitae, but for being the Ebola Vector. In some beer parlor discussions, we presume, the Ebola Virus is probably called "Patrick Sawyer's Disease."
He had been suspended from work by his Company, Arcelor Mittal and was supposed to be under isolation, observation and monitoring. With the connivance of Liberia’s Deputy Finance Minister For Fiscal Affairs, Sebastian Muah, who cleared him to travel to Nigeria for an ECOWAS convention in Calabar, Mr. Sawyer, who avoided bodily contacts with people at the airport in Monrovia, Liberia found his way to Lagos.
He boarded an Asky Airline plane and became severely ill on the plane and was taken to First Consultant Hospital, Obalende, from the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos. Since Sawyer’s infamous arrival, Nigeria has lost four people to the Ebola disease: the ECOWAS official, who drove him to the hospital, two nurses who assisted him at the hospital and the doctor, who physically restrained him from leaving his bed after he tried to remove the drip administered on him.Saturday Vanguard asked our teeming readers their views of Mr. Sawyer and captures their interesting views below.
