THE LIONESS KING! He walked into the vehicle loaded with explosives. Did he realize what he was doing... that he was on a mission? Did he understand the ripple effect of his action? His strength failed him as he arrived at his destination. A bit of jet lag apparently but more from within. Several kindhearted people made his journey forward possible and they would later regret it. Straight to one of the best medical facilities in town they headed. The healthcare team was delighted to do what they know how to do best. C.A.R.E. They tenderly assisted an ailing Diplomat and showered care on a rare pilgrim. Had they known! The Doctor in Charge was swift and proactive. Her frame? Very confusing: frail on the outside but bold and audacious on the inside. She seemed to remind her team not to predict the contest by the size of the dog in the fight but rather to assess the scores by the size of the fight in the dog! They took his medical history. He held back some vital information and left them groping in the dark in search of answers. The mystery of medicine and prescriptions. The dilemma of medical ethics and protocol! She went with her intuition and tested him all the same. The test was positive! Imagine? He had the virus. It was confirmed. In panic, he tried to escape. He wanted to leave the centre. Shed hear nothing of such. She put her foot down. She remembered Margaret Thatcher. She flashed back at Rosa Parks. Women of Honour. Women who defied the odds...broke conventions...fought against traditional patterns to bring about change and transformation. Ill hear nothing of such she reiterated. The buck stops here! The epidemic will spread no further. This is the end of the road for you and the virus. She realized she was at risk. She had made body contact with the patient and the virus was deadly. Contagious. OMG! She realized that her team may have made contact with him as well. But all that was secondary. She had to stop the spread...At ALL COST! Calls and mails. Tenacity and resolve. Vision. Leadership. The sheer audacity off hope! Hope for a better country. Hope for an improved healthcare system. Hope for a new Nation. She dared to fight. She stood at the forefront...UNAFRAID! Choosing to die for change. Gobsmacked by your courage Dr AMEYO Stella Adadevoh. You sacrificed your life...and defeated death for millions of Nigerians! Youre my heroine... My Lioness King!
