Nigeria's First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, has been in a hospital in Germany in the last four days, Abuja State House sources have told SaharaReporters, undergoing treatment for food poisoning.
The sources say Mrs. Jonathan, who is also a Permanent Secretary in the Bayelsa State civil service, was airlifted to the hospital by an air ambulance in midweek under emergency medical conditions.
Presidency sources stated that the emergency airlift departed for Wisbanden, Germany, but it is not clear if her treatment was being undertaken in that city. They said she was only able to speak earlier today, four days after her arrival, because the illness had been so severe that she lost her voice.
Our sources could not say when she will return to the country. Nigeria’s political leaders and their families routinely seek expensive medical attention abroad, an irony occasioned by their failure to develop the same facilities at home. In the past few years, two former First Ladies have died on foreign hospital beds.

Gbagaun =))
Linda sahara too de give fake info.
Bera get us d right source
Can you imagine a country where the leader is preaching improvement in the health sector and followers are hoping the hospitals will one day get to a commendable state?
The first lady was flown to Germany cos of food poisoning that common men suffer from, day in day out.
This is a disgrace to the health ministry of this Great Nation, that the first lady cannot be treated after suffering from food poisoning.
Tell Patience to watch what she eats oh. There are some good food she just might be allergic to, considering where mama was brought and the kinda local food she is used to. LOLZZZ.
Gbagaun =))
Danne patience biko kwa......
Michael says...
May she get well soon oooo. Despite her character na person wife and life is precious.
But wait ooo,that last sentence Saharareporters made was highly uncalled for by saying two former first ladies have died on foreign hospital beds was really bad.
get well soon ma!
Wish her quick recovery. Its well with your soul Dame.
Its not medical, she prolly went for cosmetic reasons and its sad if a president does not trust his own countrys nedical team with hus wifes life stupid man so nigerians that cant afford german doctors will prolly die in the hands of nigerian doctors
Wish her self recovering oh....Jona should please try and fixed our health care cos is not everybody that have the money to fly their people abroad for treatment ohh (cweamy)

MTCHEW.....food poisoning......this is what happens when u waste MILLIONS on food allowances eating dolce and gabbana beans and cassava bread instead of NORMAL food. SHIO..............
Gbagaun =))
I wish her quick recovery but if its food poisoning she's been treated for den I most say wat example are dy shown to us nigerians?
1bn naira food poisoning na e she take go germany, no be purge again or wetin? ,when she go dey chop ewa agoyi(beans & egg) with cassava bread anyhow.No need for her to fly joh, Andrew Liver Salt of 20 naira can handle the matter.Na wah for our leaders,all the same I wish wish her speedy recovery.Nothing do u madam umblerra
Eeiyaa! Get well and get back soon!
May GOD heal you. Those that seek your downfall, will meet there's. Wish you a Quick recovery
I didn't see the last part of the write-up o!
"I no follow"!!.........somewhere in Germany
Am so sure she has gone 4 cosmetc surgery!
So sure she has gone 4 cosmetic surgery
Yes we wish her soonest recovery..... But this shows the freaking sorry state of nigeria... How can a first lady of a country go to another country for medical treatment???? Shouldn't we have the appropriate medical facilities locally in our government hospitals?? My wife are resident in the uk and she recently had a minor procedure at a hospital here in the uk... The quality of our national health service (NHS) here is amazing... Even naija private hospitals aren't up to such standards.
Its sad, very sad as we actually have enough money in naija to develop such.. But corruption no go gree.....
Food poisoning kwa? Y dem no give am palm oil?
Infact am so angry, these pple must think we r stupid, wat kind of stupid lie is that. Food poisoning my foot. God dey see una
sorry for her
maybe her grammar is finally getting to her
if her husband would just build a good hospital,fully equipped she wouldn't have had to leave the country
Yeah I agree with Faroo too! I wish her quick recovery in Jesus Name
The Fashion Engineer
get well soon ma!
Aaah! abeg no sick o,I wish u quick recovery.
Don't trust sahara reports a bit....Linda find out for us.
y cant dey treat her here, its just food poisoning. oh i know y.....our health system is crappy. and its the fault of our leaders
Get well soon maam.
Na waao! One would think that the food we paid them one billion naira for would at least serve its purpose... To nourish health. This goes to show them that its God that is keeping them and not their stolen treasures.
Dame Patience,I wish u quick recovery.
Hahaha @ "2 first ladies have died on foreign hospital beds". SaharaReporters are just being forward by anticipating that Dame Jonathan will die in Wiesbaden. Come to think of it, since the return of democratic rule in 1999, one of the Presidential spouses always dies in office. With the Obasanjos, it was Stella and with the Yar'Aduas, it was Umaru. Can it be that with the Jonathans it will be Dame?? I no know o!!!!
...Well, the cynic in me finds the food poisoning bit hard to believe, seems like this trip has something to do with someone getting a liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation etc...However, in the words of Juju Maestro: 'soonest recover', Dame Patience!
How you doing, Linda ;)?
U might need her don't say Naija needs her
Sorry Linda... but who is Patience Jonathan? Is she a Nollywood actress? Please tell me. Anyway, here's wishing her, "soonest recover" (LOL)
Well all are d same, really if actually, she was poisioned dat mean, is d chef is in trouble or she is allergy to sm kind of food, newly tasted.. Well they are rich so they can do whteva they like.. Rite frm time I alway know dat nigeria politican don't trust our doctors... I jst pray she recovers , if its true to wht sahara is saying ..frm queen
Omo wase o ri ishe! This woman has been very very controversial....she does things way beyond normal and has been in news more than her husband! Its just natural for her to have beefers from people who her husband has toasted in the past, who has toasted her husband, who are jealous, who are angry, who are annoyed and haters who just dey vex say she dey successful (Yeah they exist too). Anyway sha, i hope she doesnt die from this and calms down from all the party party and things! Michelle Obama isnt so much in the news for political matters haba
Naija una too much, coffee wey i dey drink hia comot my nose as i read this
Kaiii! She haff not die, she wee live and see that Goodluck Jonathan wee not be a fellow widow!mbanuuuu!
I wish her soonest recovery though History does not favour her. No Nigerian first couple has emerged from Aso rock with two of them alive. Abacha, Stella, Yaradua, Maryam(delayed).
ok na... aso rock tinz, only one person comes out alive, patience u beta waka well oooh *in warri man's tone*
Lmao! Was about 2 write d same thn! Or mayb she has eaten 1 too many cassava bread!
Shuooo, Food poisoning = Germany...na wa oo

Haba. U guys should be nice na. Lmao. These comments shaa. Dame, His healing hands are upon u. But food poisoning isn't worth the trouble na. And in the future, please eat what u know, am sure u tried a delicacy that Ʊ aren't used to.
m_y_f-e_l_l_o_w_w_i_d_o_w_s...(In her Voice)
She don chop forbidden fruit
Get well dear madam, I love you and will keep praying for you. Chukwuemeka A.
So despite their expensive budget for food she still had food poisoning.I guess she's suffering from ojukokoro and excessiveness.And probably she's not used to the expensive way of life.Long throat pple.They always look for every reason to spend govt money.Barawos.Can't she take palm oil or treat herself here?sowri but I don't pity her.
LmAO!! Sad story but expected !!! History has it.. And by right its her turn lool!! , OBJ entered and came out alone!! Ya'aduwa entered , wifey came out alone .. PA Jo entered then.... Ohk!! Drama country !!

If you don't get the "Soonest Recover" joke, you are too young to be on this blog.
NAWA oh! So we even have emergency air service. Wonders shall never cease. I was not in the know.

Loool the person did that on purpose obviously

Seriously *Danne????
Good for her,yeye woman instead of her to sit down one place she goes about doing tafia from one party or gathering to the other speaking up side down english...blocking the roads for better people to pass...madam go sit down for one place...you hear.
I doubt if dis gist is true cos food poisoning cαη hardly be d cause of a 4 day plus hospital admission not to talk of being aair lifted.food poisoning is a case dat cαη be managed by any hospital in Naija.symptoms include diarrhea n vomitting.hardly requires being flown to Germany for treatment.
haha free our first, lady respect our first lady ...you self first lady make you self dey respect yourself
Flown to Germany for food poisoning ke,now thats rili pathetic,soon GEJ will be flying out for headache,wasteful lot.
Ring it to her ears o.

U don't pity her??!!..neither do I.Nemesis is a bitch
Eh eh, me thinks we all missed the salient point here. I think they are trying to make us believe the food poisoning was so severe that she lost her voice.......utter BS, and l say this as a healthcare professional.
Odera

Anon September 3, 2012 1:36 PM trust me she's that vain. The Shagayas and Oduahs have already sold the procedure to her

The Government is nothing but "successful failure". You can imagine Michelle Obama being flown outside the US for an ailment.
Femi Kuti - I sorry sorry o...!

BREAKING NEWS: Patience is sent back to Niaja because she just dey mess, mess for there. The Oyibo people say her mess dey smell too much.
Nigerians! God, what sort of people are these? Can't you pray for your president's wife and wish her a speedy recovery? How then can God heal your land when you have such nasty attitude towards your own??
ME
Let the truth be told,she can be treated in Nigeria but most of the medication in ur market and pharmacies are fake! Ask Nafdaq!
SEe wat most of u r saying to some bodys mum,remember wat evr a man sow ,dats wat he will reap.u hv mothers at home,wat ever u wish her ,so shall. Other people wish ur own mother at home tooo.don't talk becos u feel u knw hw to talk.
May she stay there biko. I meaqn she should recover but stay there.
SHE SHOULD WATCH HER HUSBAND? HE MIGHT BE A SUSPECT! PROBABLY TRYING TO GET RID OF HER SO HE CAN MARRY THE NEXT BABE IN LINE..........THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!........I DON'T WISH ANYONE BAD OR TO DIE.......BUT OUR GOD IS A GOD OF JUSTICE!.......SO THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.......A COUNTRY THAT OPPRESSES PEOPLE AND HAS NO REGARDS FOR HUMAN LIFE......AND YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER?
Hope she gets well soon. This one they said she's almost losing her voice. I've never known her to be very audible.
Anon 10 03 gbam!
At least the effects of the introduction of the N5000 note is taking effect, and its really cool! Why do spouses of people who assume tenancy in Aso Rock die? Just asking.......not inferring anything though.
history is about to repeat itself....lol obasanjo entered aso rock wiv stella but came out alone, yar'adua didnt make it out, turai did alone... so u can guess who is coming out alone next? lol
Oga oh.....sonnest recover dey cause commotion...SSP, see wetin u cus! I heard the story from my mother and always taught she faked it!!!

please please please, I Rita saw Patience with my 2 naked eyes in Dubai last week! She was disguised but who fit forget that umblella face? I approached her and said she looked familiar and i went on to compare her to the first lady. She denied at first then she smiled and hugged my friend and I. We wanted to take pictures with her but the bodyguards would not let us. So which time e come go Germany? Msheeeeeew! she dey dubai dey shop with our money jare!
News reaching me reveals that the doctor in charge fainted after she woke up, got her voice and said...."have the surgery operating finish??"
Lol..u ppl r not nice @all o...wat happened to national hospistal in abuja..kmt#
which kind food poison be dat one, make she drink red oil make d stuff neutralize.
they need to improve the hospital infrastructure at home so that they will stop seeking medical attention aboard.
Air Nigeria aircraft, A330-200 wet-leased from Egypt Air is named after David Oyedepo as PAPA DO (inscription on the body). A floor at Energy house Marina (HQ of Air Nigeria) is named David Oyedepo Conference Hall. What is a "respected" preacher doing with Jimoh Ibrahim?
As I write, Jimoh Ibrahim has ordered a stop to ticket sales (since Saturday Sep 1st 2012) on th London flight but the flight is still operating? The airline call centers and phone numbers are all not available as Jimoh don't pay bills. IATA has suspended them from BSP and cargo, so no agency can sale Air Nigeria tickets. Now Jimoh has suspended ticket sales. What does this mean? Jimoh is shutting down as airline biz is ticket sales and cargo. If none of these is happening then there's no airline. The fear is when is the final stop to flying?
People will be stranded in Lagos and London with nil options as Air Nigeria has no interline partner due debts. Jimoh doesn't care as he is above the law in Nigeria. Staff have not been paid for four months and we have NCAA. How can disgruntled hungry staff operate a safe flight with no security risk? Wondering as they are vulnerable to compromise. I call on you Nigerians to investigate the above claims and make a formal news report on it. If Jimoh shuts Air Nigeria down as its inevitable now, what happens to staff salary, cooperative savings and unremitted pension monies? Do we have ministry of labour and ministry of aviation in Nigeria?
Jimoh is busy creating unemployment and govt is keeping quiet. What a nation? Jimoh has killed many companies and is doing more no one asking why? Nicon, Reinsurrance, Nicon Hotel, Newswatch to name a few. And he is a friend to the president and govt? ONLY IN NAIJA
