WHY I AM ANGRY WITH LATE PATRICK SAWYER

 They say it's not good to speak ill of the dead but some times you are boxed to a corner that you can't help but say your mind.
The name Patrick Sawyer has been made popular among Nigerians and the world over because of the evil role he played in importing the deadly EVD (Ebola Virus Disease) to Nigeria. "witnesses say Sawyer, a 40-year-old Liberian Finance Ministry employee en route to a conference in Nigeria, was vomiting and had diarrhea aboard at least one of his flights with some 50 other passengers aboard. Ebola can be contracted from traces of feces or vomit, experts say".
Patrick Sawyer therefore knew he was sick and having attended the burial of his sister a week or two earlier according to reports was therefore aware that he was infected with the virus.
One of the dailies said and I quote “His strange behaviour and frequent movement up and down as he eagerly awaited his Asky flight had prompted the security
camera operator to focus on him. In the video, Patrick could be seen avoiding physical contact with airport employees and other passengers during the check-in process," 

The paper went on to say that: "The footage showed Sawyer preventing people from touching him. According to the The New Dawn reporter who reviewed the video, he even snubbed an immigration officer who initiated a friendly gesture of a handshake moments before he boarded the airplane.
FrontPage Africa, another Liberian newspaper, also reported that Sawyer, who was believed to have been infected by his sister, told its reporter shortly before he traveled to Nigeria that he had gone in search of his sister’s husband who ran away after she tested positive to Ebola"
Hear this again:
“He definitely knew he was sick and it was curious that he still decided to travel,” Sieh said. “His sister had died from the virus and he most likely had contact with her.”. 

Now to show that this man intentionally wanted to take many people to their early graves in Nigeria, HE DENIED ALL THESE AND SAID HE WAS NOT INFECTED. The First Consultant Hospital  where he was taken to when he collapsed at the airport said when he was asked if he had had any contact with anyone that was infected with the virus: "He denied having been in contact with any persons with EVD at home, in any hospital or at any burial".
So  for this denial even when it mattered most as far as I am concerned was a deliberate attempt to import the virus to Nigeria and it's very painful.
This is why I am angry with late Patrick Sawyer
