Igbo Group: Monkeypox Another Plot To Set Igbo Against Nigerian Army by Ehiscotch(m): 5:00pm On Oct 12, 2017
MYNATION NEWS – T his is really coming
from the Igbo for Nigeria Movement, INM,
the group has faulted the reports in some
quarters that the suspected cases of
MonkeyPox recorded in some states were
caused by the Medical Outreach of
Operation Python Dance II by the Nigerian
Army.

According to report, rumour had it that the
soldiers were in Anambra to inject children
with vaccines as had allegedly been done in
Bayelsa State with the hope of infecting
them with the disease.
The reports created panic in the entire
Igboland as parents and guardians besieged
schools to forcefully evacuate their children
and wards.
Reacting to the development, INM, said the
circulation of the rumour had portrayed
Ndigbo as unthinking and shallow-minded
people.

Addressing newsmen on Tuesday on the
report, national president of INM, Mazi
Ifeanyi Igwe, observed that the fact on
ground showed that the larger population of
the southeast are law abiding and have very
cordial relationship with the military and all
security agencies in Nigeria, including the
Nigerian Army, adding that only those with
criminal intent need to fear for their illicit
activities, which the Army has thwarted.
He said, “We want to appeal to Ndigbo to
decisively deal with the IPOB problem as it
has been established that this criminal lies
emanated from the terror group. Even as the
damage is unfolding, Emma Powerful, the
supposed spokesperson of IPOB continues
to make inflammatory remarks, which were
sadly reported by some mainstream media
that ignored the fact that his group is a
designated terror organization.

“Unfortunately, IPOB is laying the ground
works to kill and destroy more Igbo people
than any security agency could have ever
done even if they had mounted a
coordinated genocidal campaign against the
southeast geo-political zone. This is a
concern that is backed up by logic:
“The IPOB lies has practically shut down
schools. Emma Powerful asked teachers
and pupils to stay at home until Operation
Python Dance II leaves the southeast. This
is going to disrupt education calendar in Igbo
areas and this will leave our students at
disadvantage since the other parts of the
country would not pause their calendar for
the southeast. Since Operation Python
Dance is now poised to be an annual event
are we going to be shutting down our school
every year while other regions make
progress?

“Should Monkey Pox evolve into an epidemic
that requires mass vaccination the lies and
rumours that have spread like wildfire will
prevent people from accepting life saving
inoculations and treatment. This could cause
casualty on a catastrophic scale. Let us be
reminded that some parts of the country
only a few weeks ago have to get
vaccinated for cholera. The vaccines were
shipped and conveyed by people in the
South that included Igbo yet persons of
northern ethnicities that received the
vaccines did not wrongly accuse or fear the
Igbo even at a time IPOB’s hate speech was
at its vilest. The lies have set up our people
to die needlessly should there be a national
health emergency.

“While IPOB’s lies may serve its immediate
propaganda goal, it will create a new
generation of vaccine deniers in the long
term. We only need to take a cue from the
impact of the anti-vaccines movements in
the United States; they rely on the kind of
rumours being spread in Nigeria now to
push their agenda but the impact of the
follies is being felt by way of resurfacing of
diseases that the US had once eradicate
while children are dying needlessly. Unless
something is urgently done we are at risk of
babies dying while those that survive would
do so with the ravages of diseases like polio
that vaccines could have easily dealt with.
We will also bear the burden of staring
afresh to roll back any eradicated disease
that resurfaces as a result.

“If our Hausa-Fulani brothers or any other
ethnic group for that matter are resolute on
decimating the Igbo as Emma Powerful is
lying they will easily achieve that by
tampering with our food sources since
Nigeria’s food chain is heavily
interconnected. The southeast does not
produce all the meat, fish, grains and tubers
it consumes and these are items that can be
tampered with or bio engineered to deliver
pestilence. It is therefore unkind to accuse
others of what we are incapable of,” he
added.

Igwe called on state and federal
governments to take immediate steps to
stop further propagation of the lies by getting
legal interpretation on IPoB’s continuing
capacity to issue statements as an already-
labeled terror group.

He added, “The court order that designated
IPoB as a terror group also outlawed its
activities which leaves us at a loss of why a
terrorist under the name of Emma Powerful
continues to freely operate with the group’s
name without being arrested. He should be
immediately arrested.”

What's wrong with these zombies? grin

They say they don't want your vaccines monkey pox and you're still trying to shove it down their throats. Izit by force? grin grin

Southeast is still tensed since the Egwu Eke that claimed a lot of innocent lives in Aba, so I expected the military to be sensible, at least. If not that they have a genocidal agenda against the Igbo this issue wouldn't even be a news.

And by the way,

Did the monkey pox outbreak start from Anambra? No.

Did Igbos request for any medical aid from the military? No.

Do the sick, diseased, displaced abokkis in various camps need the vaccine? Yes.

So, why not give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God?

If our Hausa-Fulani brothers or any other

We are not brothers to Hausa/Fulani people. No Hausa or Fulani is my brother. I know who my brothers are.

The Nigerian army should take their vaccination program somewhere else.

A bunch of people will just form associations and be dishing out statements to gain relevance.

Don't take every group seriously as they do not express the general opinion of the average Igbo man.
