Former chairman of the Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners (ANPMP), Imo State branch, Dr. Philip C. Njemanze, has offered new perspectives to the on-going feud between doctors and pharmacists regarding who controls teaching hospitals in Nigeria.
According to him, there is more to it than meets the eye.
He said: “In 2020, there was unease among the doctors in Imo State as operatives from local government offices invaded their medical practices demanding that they filled the so-called Federal Ministry of Health forms, titled “National Health Workforce Registry, Human Resources for Health Data Collection Form for Departments, Agencies and Parastatals. The programme was sponsored by some development partners and a donor international foundation. The form, which included sections on passport photo, biodata, citizenship, next of kin information, appointment status information, identification details, training information, professional license information, residential contact, permanent contact, office/facility (service delivery point) information, signature and thumbprint were personal data that alarmed the doctors. The official storyline is that the form was originally intended for Federal Health Workers but was now sent to private sector health workers to fill to build a national registry with information, including all biometric data.
“The authorities said that it was needed for research and planning purposes. The doctors enquired from several analysts what the registry was meant to do that could not be done with the information from the various councils that regulate the health sector such the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN). Moreover, under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Fundamental Human Rights Chapter, Sections 37, the privacy of Nigerian citizens is guaranteed and protected, such that obtaining private information from Nigerians is prohibited unless it was volunteered by the person.”
Asked what was the connection to the professional feud and the above information, Njemanze explained: “Some international organ trafficking cartel, we believe, wants to kill the healthcare professionals in Nigeria using a false trigger of a ‘war’ between the professionals as the smoke screen. The database is needed for the tracking of the health professionals, since they must locate the professionals and identify them by precise biometrics. The scheme is being built up as a professional feud between doctors, nurses, pharmacists and others. A trigger cover story like the one you cited trending in the media is required so that the lead cover story would be ‘tit-for-tat professional killings’, which in actual fact will be orchestrated by foreign mercenaries already in place and sponsored from outside.”
Asked if this has ever happened or maybe it was a test run, Njemanze said: “Yes. We got a taste of that precisely on January 20, 2015, when a popular pharmacist, Cletus Ternenge Labe, from Gboko in Benue State, was murdered in cold blood by gunmen. Labe was the proprietor of the La-Bet Pharmaceuticals at Bristow roundabout, Gboko town. He was tracked by an emergency phone call en-route to his pharmacy and murdered there in his office. He hailed from the Tiv community.
“At first, there was a rumour that this may be related to a feud between him and the doctors’ association, which accused him of treating patients beyond his competence. It was an unfounded rumour because residents testified that he merely subsidized drugs to indigent people.
“Further investigations revealed that the assassination squad was part of Boko Haram gangs in the area, who frequently exchanged gun battle with the police. However, the rumour that it was a professional feud kickstarted a hunt for doctors in the area who quickly all went into hiding, fearing for their lives.
“The Boko Haram gangs hunted for them to kill them. It was feared that the threat to the lives of the doctors in the area could be the start of a tit-for-tat killing spree that could see the entire health workers of the region wiped put at the same time under a falsely made-up professional feud started by Boko Haram and their sponsors using international press TV networks.”
But why would anyone seek to eliminate Nigerian medical personnel? Is the health sector so profitable to attract such big international billionaire investors that own private mercenary armies?
Take this from Njemanze: “To decifer a crime, always follow the money. In the United States, about 113,000 people are awaiting transplantation each year. In Europe, about 86,000 are awaiting kidney transplantation. In the United States, the economic cost just for heart failure patient was $38 billion in 2008, which could be saved annually for the lifetime after a heart transplant.
“Western governments and Western billionaire investors have been in the search for new sources of human organs for transplantation. The entire market on human organ cloning is valued at over $30 trillion USD, one-third of world economy.
“This large economic benefit cut the attention of the world-leading billionaires and the top Western economies. They have lost the large sources of organs from Far-East Asia. The foreign international organ trafficking cartel would need full control of the health system of Nigeria.
“There must not be any Nigerian eyewitnesses to any organ poaching incident in any of the 260 proposed new foreign mega-hospitals in Nigeria under a so-called PPP arrangement. The Nigerian healthcare professionals must be wiped out of the health sector in both public and private. They have proposed to assimilate younger health professionals in the over 10,000 primary health facilities to treat malaria and typhoid in local dwellers, while the tertiary centres would be controlled by multibillion-dollar foreign firms using local proxies.”
Asked if there is a legal framework for human organ poaching in Nigeria as of today, Njemanze answered: “Yes. The National Health Act (NHAct 2014, Section 51), sponsored by passed by the National Assembly and signed by President Goodluck Jonathan, allows the ‘hospitals designated for transplantation’ to poach organs from Nigerians without informed written consent as far as they declare that it was an emergency operation overriding the consent clause in Section 48.
“Doctors in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics, under the same law, could collect the ovarian eggs of women without consent for sale to Western biotechnology tissue cloning companies. In Section 20 of NHAct the ‘gametes’ (sperm and ovarian eggs) are exempt as tissue and organs, which is not supposed to be so.
“The NHAct 2014 (Sections 43 and 45) also ensured that the government could completely replace all the Nigerian medical personnel at any public hospital with foreign experts. Nigeria is the only country in the world that has the provisions of law that allow the killing of her citizens for their human organs, for the first time in the history of humanity. This atrocity is a crime against humanity by the 7th NASS.”
On the issue of data collation, Njemanze volunteered: “Let use examine the agricultural sector where similar data were acquired from small-holder farmers in 2012 under the Growth Enhancement Support Scheme (GESS). The officially stated goal of this scheme was to provide subsidised agricultural inputs, such as fertilizers, hybrid seeds and agro-chemicals to farmers, to remove the usual complexities associated with input distribution in order to increase farmers’ productivity, income and promote food security.
“The data collected included personal, biometric and GSM phones (electronic-wallets). The programme was carried out by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD). Let us fast-forward to today, the goal of the GESS was never achieved. They destroyed Nigerian agriculture, with over six million small-holder farmers displaced into IDP camps. Data given by the Council on Foreign Relations at the US Congress show that between 2015 and 2018, 37,500 small-holder farmers and their families were killed, of which 32,000 or 85% were Muslims while 5,500 or 15% were Christians.”
On the purportedIslamization agenda, Njemanze said: “What is remarkable is that both Muslim and Christian farmers killed were natural seed growers in their communities in the Northeast, and at the time were supplying other farmers with natural seeds using the so-called electronic wallets.
“They sought to replace all natural seeds for staple foods grown in the Northeast food basket of Nigeria with genetically modified crops (GMOs), which is euphemistically called ‘hybrid seeds’ and iimproved seeds’. This would mean that, the GMO seeds planted in Nigeria for our major staple foods like cassava, beans, rice, yam, potatoes and plantain were to be obtained as genetically modified by biotechnology companies designed not to replicate. The result is that we will need supply of foreign seeds from Western biotechnology companies every planting season. “Moreover, these GMO seeds and the food from them are not healthy for human consumption. In other words, the entire food security of Nigeria has been hijacked. We are now facing the hijack of the entire health sector if we do not take urgent steps now.
