A NATIONAL HERO

   We went about our normal duties, listening, hearing and seeing various media channels tell us about ur exploit as the latest kid on the block. Living our lives like the best way we could, it was inconceivable to have you around us.

   Left with no inkling you were staging a trip down here. Alas! It came, a disastrous one.

   Flying via Asky airlines from James spriggs Payne Airport in Monrovia, Liberia to Maritala Muhammed Airport Lagos, Nigeria with a stopover at Lome, Togo, it found it's way.

   Ebola was transported, no thanks to the late Mr. Sawyer. Reports had it that you were seriously I'll, why did u make d journey? How come you were permitted to fly? While did u come to Nigeria? These and more were asked in our desperate need for answers.

   Did you liken your infected urine to clean water running down the shower that should ever touch any one? Spraying ur urine at everyone and anyone at sight, would that slide as a mistake?

   We seek no appoligies. The humiliation of our nationals in transit, the rejection and segregation of our national who were on a national assignment far away in Asia. Where would the efficacy of the apology begin?

   No thanks to you EBOLA, you took our own from us. Painted the hearts of loved ones with permanent stains, piercing their hearts with sorrow.

   Hmm! To our own DR.(MRS) AMEYO STELLA ADADEVOR.

   Slowly u crept in,
   With an intent, u came in.
   You found a way,
   But the you didn't find the way in.

   Hmm you got us enlisted,
   But u met the brick walls.

   The clock ticked,
   With fear, we began to think.
   Fear came over us,
   We knew we were not thick.

    You had just a thought,
    And that was us.

    Till the last breathe,
    Your heart of gold thought of our safety.

     It's a year you crossed over to the other side, we can only think of the fight, the great battle, you stood.
     What more than what you did would anyone have done, your very dear life as a shield to seas of heads.

    My eyes are gaining weight, it threatens downpour.

    You are a HERO. Unborn generations respects you, past generations hail you, present generation cherish you.

    It's been a year so far, you are remembered for ur selflessness. What more than to name the world humanitarian day celebration in Nigeria after her.

    Dear DR.(MRS) AMEYO STELLA ADADEVOR, R.I.P
