Imagine if Mr Sawyer....the guy who "imported" Ebola virus into Nigeria had come through Seme axis and sought medicare in those hospitals along Badagry expressway...who mainly use male auxiliaries....or CHOs to front as doctors! Aren't we rather lucky?!!!!!

The fake doctor would most certainly have made a wrong diagnosis....labelling it malaria or typhoid fever even before this patient could say Jack Robinson! I just imagine the myriads of possibilities had Sawyer been taken to any such hospital...where the chances that he would infect direct and indirect contacts is almost endless. Wrong diagnosis!

When we shout ourselves hoarse over the issue of medical quackery, some people call us jobless rubble-rousers! Imagine the possible disaster had the man entered through Badagry or Idiroko. And some doctors...surely the bad eggs.....say we should treat such matters as "family matters"! Aren't Nigerians lucky that Sawyer prefered the airport?
