19th August
If Google could honour Dr Ameyo Adadevoh with a Google Doodle (a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google's home pages) on her birthday, we should ask why many Nigerian Organisations and On-line platforms have not also celebrated this wonderful heroin of ours?
Dr Stella Ameyo Adadevoh was born on October 27th, 1956. “She is credited to have curbed a wider spread of the Ebola virus in Nigeria by placing the patient zero, Patrick Sawyer, in quarantine despite pressures from the Liberian government. She is known for preventing the Nigerian index case from leaving the hospital at the time of diagnosis, thereby playing a key role in curbing the spread of the virus in Nigeria.”
On August 4th 2014 it was confirmed that she had tested positive for the virus and she passed away on August 19th 2014.
We in our own way celebrate and remember Dr Stella Adadevoh.
We bought several of these hand-wash cups because they are connected with her legacy.
NOTE: God willing we would be having a viewing of the TED Talk presented by her son Bankole Cardoso titled “Patriotism and development” organised by TEDxJabi at our TLF Centre. Kindly send us a message on tinalovefoundation@gmail.com for reservations, inquiries and sponsorship. Thank you.
