Raji Bello wrote the following Another side of Ebola Maybe I just have an overactive imagination but Ive thought about this a few times: Ebola has so far remained a purely health issue in our national discourse but would it have been the same if the virus had entered our country through Niger Republic or Chad and the first victim was Garba Dan Mallam or Modu Gulumba? I cant stop feeling that some usual suspects would have taken the matter well beyond the realm of health particularly on social media. And Chris Ngwodo showed him that the usual suspects can still present their argument as follows. CONSPIRACY EXPOSED: WHY KOLA AND SALT ARE BEING PITCHED AS CURES FOR EBOLA! WHO ARE THE BIGGEST TRADERS IN KOLA NUTS? WHICH GROUP STANDS TO GAIN THE MOST FROM AN ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY OF THIS ITEM AND THE INFLATION OF ITS MARKET VALUE? WHO IS THE BIGGEST DEALER IN SALT IN NIGERIA? WHO STANDS TO PROFIT THE MOST FROM THE SCARCITY OF SALT AND THE HIKE IN ITS PRICE? HAVE WE NOT THEN FOUND THE FUNDING PIPELINE FOR TERRORISTS? This obviously sounds silly and stupid but wait until the usual suspects say it and the media gives them all the publicity they need. Dan Mallam and Gulumba will get the blame.
