Nigerians should be grateful to Patrick Sawyer...

Nigerians should be grateful to Patrick Sawyer It's quite unfortunate that Patrick Sawyer brought Ebola virus to Nigeria, but if you look at it from another angle you will see that he did more good than harm If Mr Sawyer didn't bring this virus to Nigeria, the virus would have still found his way to Nigeria. Imagine if the virus was imported from a remote source by travelers and illegal immigrants due to our porous borders, don't you think the virus would creep into Nigeria and slowly spread into the massive ignorant populace But rather Patrick Sawyer who was a public figure was involved which prompted media attention and swift action from the federal government. It was because Mr Sawyer was involved that is why market women, mechanics, bus drivers, literate and non-literate Nigerians are aware of the EDV epidemic And trust Nigerians on such issues, we took it to another level and it spread like wildfire. Bbm, Twitter, Facebook, NAIRALAND were not left on the campaign. TV and radio stations were also involved. At one point or the other people were adding salts, sugar and maggi to the story!! My conclusion is: If the diseases came from an unknown source due to lack of awareness of Nigerians it would have killed people in hundreds before our "proactive" government would step in, but Mr Patrick Sawyer made people to stop unnecessary handshakes, hugs etc and started wearing Of gloves. Your view?
