Tributes for Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh- Nigeria's heroine of our time

I give God praise and thanks for Ameyo. Ameyo was pint-sized but had a huge heart. Her bubbly, irrepressible personality was larger than life. The dimples, the big laughter and the rapid fire speech brought a lot of levity and hilarity to our medical school days. Ameyo was that rare friend that for 40 years, regardless of the miles that separated us and the sometimes infrequent contact, there wasn't a time I called with a need that she could meet that she didn't help out and give it her all. Her huge heart, leadership and commitment to her profession was reflected in her handling of the index Ebola case and may have saved millions of lives, not just in Nigeria but throughout the world. When thoughts of having lost her threaten to overwhelm, I focus on the indisputable fact that her life counted and made a difference for an untold number of people. I hope that it also brings some comfort to her family, friends and colleagues. My prayer is that her actions and her death will make for lasting change in the health system and her sacrifice will bring out the very best that is in all of us. 

There are some things we will never get answers for on this side of eternity.....I will miss you dreadfully, dear friend.

Oh Lord our God how excellent is Your Name in all the earth. With eyes full of tears for the loss of one I never got to know personally,  I am grateful to you for the privilege of knowing of Dr Adadevoh and for her selfless life to be an inspiration to me and to us all. We are also comforted that she is in peace everlasting with You for ever. I look forward to the time we would meet. RIP. Amen

We thank God for the life of Ameyo. We thank the Lord for the spirit of excellence she showed in being instrumental in curtailing the spread of the disease. I thank God for the gift of knowing her as a wonderful doctor and person. May God welcome her into His bosom and marvelous light. Rest in peace Ameyo.

In all situations we are called to give thanks so we must thank God for Ameyo's life. She was my classmate in both my primary and secondary schools and I have therefore known her for nearly fifty years. She was so clever in school, always on top of her class. Smart, witty and always with a smile. We gave her many nicknames as she was always ready to play with anyone, joke with anyone and in general her company was always a lot of fun. We lost touch after secondary school but in recent years I started seeing her once in a while and she remained as cheerful as ever. Her reputation was great and her patients always spoke highly of her. It was gratifying to see that she had bought her innate empathy and optimism to bear in her profession. She has done her bit which is why we are called to do. She touched lives and ultimately gave her own life. She is a role model and a heroine of our times. Most of all she knew and loved The Lord. May she rest in peace.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for a friend. Goodbye Dr Adadevoh. An honourable soldier struck down in the line of duty.

Felt so sad about Dr. Adadevoh though I didn't know her. Scriptural parallels...the sacrifice of one saved many.....
But God knows best.. Who knows maybe this was her own for such a time as this , and if I perish I perish.

A great loss to Nigeria and to the health sector. Dr Adadevoh was a couple of years my senior in school and her sis Ama my classmate. When my dearest dad suddenly fell ill and was admitted in first consultant she was one of the last people with him when he drew his last breath. She then had the unenviable job of breaking the news to us which she did so well and with great compassion and really helped at the initial stage . Passionate and caring till the end. She would have been received with great fanfare In heaven !
