On the night of July 20th, 2014, Adaora was the doctor on call when Patrick Sawyer was wheeled into the Emergency Room at First Consultants Medical Centre, Obalende, Lagos, with severe complaints of fever and body weakness.

On Friday the 25th of July, Dr. Ada certified Patrick dead and only days later on Friday, the 1st of August, she had her first day of fever, and a test was carried out on Saturday, 2nd of August.

The 3rd of August 2014 would always remain fresh in her memory as that was the day Dr. Ada was informed that she had contracted the Ebola disease.

She underwent series and series of test, living daily not knowing if she would survive the disease but amazingly, she did.

She however did not take her second chance at life for granted- since then, she dedicated her life to the research, treatment, and prevention of future epidemics, going on to the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine to acquire more knowledge of epidemics..

According to the brilliant young lady, “Ebola is going to come back. It may not be next year or the next five years. But it will come back. I know I was sick for a reason. There’s a lot more I have to do.”

Adaora, on Thursday, the 5th of January was Named As One Of Bill Gates‘ 5 “Heroes in the Field.” as a recognition of the courage and strength she has shown in helping Ebola patients and making sure more people survive.

We have her tweets below

Media personality & OAP Tolu Oniru-Demuren aka Toolz, took a trip down memory lane and reflected on her 2017. She had a few things to say about 2017 on her Instagram page.

She wrote:

2017 has been the toughest year of my life so far. Without a doubt, it broke me. I spent way too much time in hospital, and I hate hospitals. I went through way more than I thought I could ever handle, and there were times when I was in so much physical and emotional pain that I wanted to give up.
This year has taught me that EVERYONE will go through some type of adversity…we will all face things that will potentially break us. You can and should pray against it, but ultimately we must also remember to pray for the strength to get through what life will inevitably throw at us.

God never promised us a perfect life, but in Isaiah 43: 2-3 it says “When you go through deep waters and great trouble I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty you will not drown…. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel..your Saviour”. 2017 broke me, but I’m grateful for the grace of God that put me back together again. I am eternally grateful for the special people He placed in my life that helped put me back together.
My circle got a little smaller, but like someone told me a few months ago, every now and then God gives you the opportunity to spring clean your friendship closet…and that’s a good thing.

2017 was my year of INTENSE TRAINING and GROWTH. I’m still healing, but I feel FEARLESS.
Through great adversity comes strength and opportunity. If you had a difficult 2017, take comfort in the fact that you are still here…alive and able to experience another day. You may have been knocked down, but you are still here so YOU WON.
I’m excited for what 2018 holds. By the grace of God I will be launching a project that I finally got the courage to finish.

2018 is about to be a VICTORIOUS Year…and I’m so READY for it.🙌🙌 #GRATEFUL #STRENGTH #THANKSGIVING#BRINGON2018💪#GodsGotMeALWAYS

Nollywood actress, Damilola Adegbite, whose 2-year-old marriage to Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh packed up this year with the latter confirming their separation in an interview, took to Instagram to indirectly address the divorce saga as she reflected on the year.

Damilola who said her trust was betrayed this year, wrote;

“2017 was a tough year for me. One of the toughest of my life. My trust was betrayed in heart breaking ways and I had to go through some very painful overwhelming changes. But in all this, I am eternally grateful because who I am became crystal clear to me. Most importantly, I became more convinced that there is a higher power ( call it nature, karma, the universe.. I choose “GOD”). A GOD who listens when called on and who fights for the patient and selfless. He gave me some things I thought I really really wanted, to prove to me that there is nothing impossible for him to do, but he took them away again, this time by force, because sometimes, what we want is not necessarily good for us. It’s an uncomfortable process, like a child being weaned, but it signifies growth and advancement. I can’t deny that my scars are still healing, and I’m still a little dizzy from trying to adjust ?but ultimately, I am thankful for the opportunity to have been handed an almost brand new slate and for the courage to accept it.
