“Stay-safe, Stay-at-home”, “Stay away from COVID-19 by staying-at-home”. These coronavirus catchphrases and other similar ones constantly dominate the socio-political space all over the world today. They also underline the importance of the family institution as a fundamental pillar of society. They further illustrate that despite the role of government in nation building and the much-vaunted philosophy about government and all that, the family remains the last bulwark against societal injustices and societal miseries. No place like home. Everything may seem to be collapsing; your bank account may be empty; it may appear as if you have reached the end of your tether and could no longer find the strength to trudge ahead in life but do not worry. You have not failed. Your resting place is your home. Whether it is a ramshackle hut in the remotest village in Africa or the most imposing skyscraper in the richest country in the world your home is your home.
And now that the economy, schools, banks, International Financial institutions- World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and others, United Nations, Stock Exchange, Executive, Legislature, Judiciary, Internet, social media, advancements in science, technology, economic development, social organization are failing modern man he is invariably and irresistibly seeking and finding protection and succour in his home. So much fuss about the economy. But we forget that there is a correction between family growth and economic growth. In case you don’t know, the economy needs healthy family, honest and responsible workforce to sustain it. In other words, the economy has stake in the family and vice-versa. Come to think of it, the economy does not manufacture honest work force, good investors or economists or financiers and others to sustain the economy. Honest work force, good investors or economists, financiers and others are products of the family. Consequently family failure easily translates to decline in productivity, loss of profit and may even lead to complete economic failure. Therefore the family, if you like, is that social compass that holds the world together. The family institution is the very key institution upon which the human society lays its claim to civilization.
It is therefore a big paradox that the family institution is systematically been whittled down or destroyed today. World turned upside down. Imperiling the family is tantamount to imperiling human civilization. For example, in Africa the family institution is an authentic safety-net that caters for the well-being of the individual. The African communalism (Notably propounded by the late University of Ibadan Emeritus Professor Jacob Festus Ade-Ajayi) or the African communal spirit of sharing or the spirit of egbe belu ugo belu (The spirit of live-and-let-live) is a veritable social-safety system embedded with the social security for the socialization and improvement of the well-being of the individual. A person born into an African family depends on his/her family for virtually everything. Unlike in the West where children are wont to dispatch their old parents to the Old People’s Homes, the African oldies, whether they are still productive or not, always have their rightful places in the family where they are continually respected, revered and protected.
But unfortunately what we have been witnessing in Africa Nigeria inclusive over the years is a profound systematic destruction of the African families especially by the United Nations Population Funds (UNFPA), Marie Stopes International abortion clinics, Cuttmacher Institute and others. In Nigeria, the multi-billion local and foreign organizations which have ceaselessly been in the vanguard of mowing down human capital are: United Nations Population Funds (UNFPA), Marie Stopes International abortion clinics, Cuttmacher Institute, Family Health International (FHI), International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC), Population Services International (PSI), International Consortium of Medical Abortion (ICMA), Union for African Population Studies (UAPS), Population Reference Bureau (PRB), Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria, (PPFN), Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) funded by American multi-billionaire Bill Gates and others You may be aware that between 1942 and 1943 a collection of some of the literary works of English author Clive Staples Lewis (C.S Lewis, 1898–1963,) including his The Screw Tape Letters and the first series of his Broadcast Talks were published and later incorporated into his other works such as Mere Christianity, Perelandra, that Hideous Strength (these last two were part of his Ransom Trilogy), and The Abolition of Man. You will recall that by late March 2020 an excerpt purportedly culled from C. S. Lewis’ The Screw Tape Letters was circulating on the social media. At that time many social media warriors and social media activists found the purported excerpt interesting. The purported excerpt involved an exchange between Satan and Jesus Christ. The said exchange allegedly occurred in the aftermath of a pandemic similar to COVID-19 in the time of C.S Lewis. Some deny that the excerpt was culled from C.S Lewis’ The Screw Tape Letters, Nevertheless, please permit me to reproduce the said except, if not for anything, for the purpose of buttressing our argument in this piece. Whereas Satan had boasted that he would cause confusion and anxiety in the world and shut down businesses and places of worship during a pandemic similar to COVID-19 that occurred in the time of C.S Lewis, Jesus Christ promised that he will restore and strengthen the family unit during that pandemic time. Below is the full exchange between Satan and Jesus. Satan: “I will cause anxiety, fear and panic. I will shut down business, schools, places of worship, and sports events. I will cause economic turmoil”. Jesus: “I will bring together neighbours, restore the family unit, I will bring dinner back to the kitchen table. I will help people slow down their lives and appreciate what really matters. I will teach my children to rely on me and not the world. I will teach my children to trust me and not their money and material resources”.
Whether you choose to believe or disbelieve the aforesaid exchange between Satan and Jesus, one incontrovertible truth today is that the coronavirus scourge has created anxiety, fear and panic, whether real or imagined, in the minds of so many people. It has also led to the shutting of down of businesses, schools, places of worship and sports events. Consequently many have fled from their businesses, schools, places of worship and sports events and are now seeking protecting in their various homes. As we speak, many parents are not only happily reunited with their children at their various homes they are also forging the closely-knit family ties and communal bonds which were inconceivable prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
But unfortunately speculations are rife today that under the pretext of preventing people from contracting the dreaded coronavirus infection Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci have rolled out the Fauci-Gates Moderna Vaccine-mRNA-1273 which gradually would lead to the death of the person vaccinated with the vaccine, and, by extension on the long run would lead to the destruction of the family. Should we treat these speculations with levity? No. Why? Because both Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci have ceaselessly been advocating that there should not be too many human beings on earth. Like eugenic Margaret Sanger, Bill Gates and Fauci advocate that society should rid itself of “multiplication of bad stock” of human beings through birth control, abortion and eugenic sterilization of women.
Remember Ms. Margaret Louise Sanger (1879-1966), founder of Planned Parenthood of America? Remember Sanger’s racist philosophy of exterminating the black population through imposed legal abortion, contraceptives and sterilization of black women?. If your answers to the above queries are in the affirmative, you will probably recall also that Sanger’s racist philosophy inspired Adolf Hitler in his view of eugenics and murdering of the “socially undesirable people”. Except that while Hitler committed his eugenics havoc against European Jews and others in the Nazi regime, Sanger directed her Planned Parenthood of America specifically to the extermination of Afro-Americans through forced abortion and sterilization of black American women. I have met Alveda C King, niece of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. several times in the U.S. On one occasion I met her at a coffee shop in New York City. In fact, she invited some of us who had attended a Conference in New York City to have a taste of New York City coffee. On learning I was a Nigerian, she exquisitely turned to me and said; “Don’t let what happened to us happen to you”. By “us” she meant the Afro-Americans. And by “you”, she meant Nigerians.
The infanticide in the U.S. otherwise called the black genocide is aimed at the elimination of Afro-Americans. For example, the No. 1 abortion clinic in New York City is called Dr. Emily’s Women Health Centre (google it, if you like). This clinic is situate right in the black neighbourhood in the Bronx, NY 10455. It is a clinic that specializes in killing the babies of Afro-Americans and black American girls. I have been to this clinic a few times. Whenever I am in New York City and have some free time I do not hesitate to go back to this clinic to campaign against the murder of defenseless babies. Everyday especially on weekends Afro-American girls and other black girls including some Nigerian girls are seen pouring in uncontrollably like water into this clinic to have their babies killed through abortion and painful abortificient injections.
Undoubtedly the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is continuing where eugenic Margaret Sanger stopped in the elimination of the so-called “socially undesirable people” who, in its “wisdom”, are unfit to live. From Microsoft business Bill Gates has moved into the abortion contraception and eugenic business. Even Bill Gates’ dad called William Henry Gates II, better known as Bill Gates Sr., was on the board of abortion promoting giant called Planned Parenthood of America before the popular case of Roe V Wade which legalized abortion in the U.S was decided. It appears as if abortion (killing of babies) runs in the DNA of the Gates family. By the way, I want you to google, “Bill Gates is continuing the work of Monsanto”. If you do, you will listen to Vandana Shiva, 1993 Nobel laureate, environmental activist and author of Oneness Vs The 1%, explain to you the “nefarious strategy” of Bill Gates to destroy agriculture and agricultural yields in Africa. She said that her aforesaid new book contains avalanche of evidence substantiating Bill Gates’ destructive impact in Africa. Prior to the outbreak of coronavirus and the raging controversy about Fauci-Gates Moderna Vaccine-mRNA-1273 and all that, Bill Gates had viva voce admitted both in his action and words that he is on a mission to reduce the African population. For example, in his article entitled: Did Bill Gates Admit Vaccination are Designed so Governments can depopulate the World and written as far back as 10th March 2017, Alex Kasprak, who in fact is defender of Bill Gates, clearly admitted in his said article that Bill Gates and Melinda Gates advocate that pregnant mothers can kill any “unwanted baby” in their wombs through the process of medical abortion or contraception in order to limit the number of babies mothers could have and so doing depopulate the world. According to Bill Gates:” When a mother can choose how many children to have, her children are healthier, they’re better nourished, their mental capacities are higher — and parents have more time and money to spend on each child’s health and schooling. That’s how families and countries get out of poverty”. At an international Family Planning Summit co-hosted by the British government with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.N. Population Fund in London on July 11 2017, Melinda Gates told the summit that birth control and abortion empower women, and that she was “deeply troubled” by U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw funding for abortion and birth control in Africa.
In Nigeria, under the cover of “family planning” Conference, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates have been mounting pressure on the Nigerian government to encourage pregnant Nigerian women to kill their babies either through abortion, abortificients and sterilization of women. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is the truth. If you are in doubt you may google, “Bill Gates, Vaccines, abortion and population control in Nigeria” to ascertain the veracity of my assertion. You see, a lot of people are yet to understand that the over-bandied phrase, “family planning” or “family planning services” is a euphemism or dodgy phrase for abortion. Bill Gates and others are hiding under it to promote their abortion atrocities. Because the word “abortion” is repugnant in Nigerian socio-cultural and religious setting, Bill Gates and his cohorts have resorted to using euphemisms and dodgy words such as “family planning” or “family planning services” in order to avoid incurring the wrath of the Nigerian people. What is most incomprehensible is that abortion, abortificient, sterilization of women are illegal in Nigeria yet Bill Gates and others are habitually violating these laws unpunished. More importantly, the consensus reached at the various United Nations Conferences, is that the law passed in every developing county including Nigeria must reflect the diverse social, economic and environmental conditions of that country, with full respect for their religious, cultural backgrounds and philosophical convictions. With the greatest respect, I think it is improper for Bill Gates to violate the Nigerian laws and begin to impose abortion, abortificients and sterilization on Nigerian girls all in the name of population control. Can multi-billionaire Aliko Dangote dare violate any American law and get away with it? No. Can he dictate to American families the number of children they should have in the name of population control? No. So, why is Bill Gates violating our laws and getting it away with it? Why is he dictating to Nigerian families to reduce the size of their families?
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation together with Pfizer Pharmaceutical Inc. and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) has rolled out in Nigeria a one-dollar self-injectable contraceptive called Sayana press injectable. Sayana press is an injection, with a very small needle. Women and girls can inject Sayana press in their body to prevent pregnancies. Sayana press injection is very dangerous. Its side effects are devastating. The most painful aspect is that Sayana press is being freely handed out to young Nigerian female students below the age 18 without parental consent. Many of these impressionable young girls are in secondary school dormitories and University hostels. Armed with Sayana press injection they are now constantly committing abortion and sterilization in their dormitories and hostels without the knowledge of their parents let alone their consent. For me, it is a big scandal that the Federal government is allowing the Bill Gates and Melinda Foundation to continue to ruin the life and future of young Nigerian girls. It is very disappointing that Nigerian parents are keeping quiet while the Bill Gates and Melinda Foundation continues to ruin their daughters with Sayana press.
A study that has been carried out have shown that a girl or lady who takes birth control pills before her first child is born has at least 40% of increased risk of developing breast cancer and that a woman who has taken the pill for four or more times prior to the birth of her first child has a 72% risk factor in developing breast cancer. In October 2011, the New York Times published an article entitled Contraceptive Used in Africa May Double Risk of H.I.V. This article was based on a cohort study by prestigious medical Research journal The Lancet that clearly stated that “the risk of HIV-1 acquisition doubled with the use of hormonal contraception especially the injectable methods.” In addition to the HIV-related effects of this product, there is also the doubled risk of breast cancer demonstrated by various studies like the extensive research done by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research centre, Seattle and published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in February 2012, with the research team stating clearly after their studies : “We found that recent DMPA (Depo-Medroxyprogesterone acetate a.k.a Depo-Provera) use for 12 months or longer was associated with a 2.2-fold increased risk of invasive breast cancer.”
