The National Hunters’ Association of Nigeria has lamented that the government is using the Ebola virus outbreak to harm its business.
The group said by informing people to stop consuming bush meat such as monkeys and bats, describing them as carriers of Ebola, the government was driving its members into unemployment.
The association made this statement on Tuesday while addressing journalists in Lagos.
The President of the group, Chief Ishola Olasehinde, maintained that the government’s directive was an attempt to deprive its members of their means of livelihood and a disservice to hunters who had helped in safeguarding the country’s borders against terrorist attacks.
“We want to use this medium to tell the government that our businesses have been affected since they have informed people to stop consuming bush meat to prevent Ebola. This is our only means of sustenance. Even if there is any virus in these animals, once they are boiled and fried, it gets killed. Government should include hunters in their research if they really want to prove that bush meat causes Ebola.

It is only in GEJ's time that every family forms an association of some sort and even make noise to be heard. I love democracy.
Mbok, Mr President, you have heard now, form one committee to attend to our hunters let your enemies keep hating.
