Patience Jonathan, Ailing Again, Dropped From State Visit Delegation To Namibia And South Africa
Nigeria's First lady's Patience Faka Jonathan, has deteriorated again, becoming so critical that she has been from a proposed official visit to Namibia and South Africa to be embarked upon by her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan.
Since returning from that trip, the First Lady has remained under medical observation at the presidential villa.
Her latest trip to Germany is the third medical trip since her prolonged trip last year where she spent several
months in a Wiesbaden hospital, although she denied those details upon her return.
In a thanksgiving service in February, she confessed her travails, including nine surgeries within one month, and declaring she had died but was saved by God.
The presidency has refused to disclose the exact nature of her ailment, but medical sources say she is suffering from a deadly ailment that may be manageable.
