Nigerian Army Free Vaccination And Avoidable Uproar In Anambra State by olabisimichael: 9:33pm On Oct 11, 2017
It is important that people understand that military is not always about gun blazing and show of force. The military the world over is imbued with the part that engages in military humanitarian assistance for people. Military is not only about battlefield. Military globally are known as humanitarians and First Responders in crisis situation

The Nigerian Army medical intervention in Anambra state is
another unfortunate yet avoidable crisis if the army high
command had observed basic communication model of
involving opinion leaders in the designated communities
and schools! .


It is called Two-Step flow in development parlance! This is
the use of Key Opinion Leaders (KOL), originated from the
studies of influence in the 1940s by communication theorist,
who was cynical about how much the mass media directly
shaped the
public’s views.

He and his students established that, in some areas, people
changed their views and preferences more because of
trusted figures in their community or their networks or in
trusted opinion personalities more than the forces of mass
media advertising which can be deceptive and
embellishment of values!

No doubt, the Nigerian Army vaccination/medical outreach
would not have generated the uproar that dogged it had the
basic communication model of getting key opinion leaders
involved, prep them on the sincerity of the advocacy and
create a favorable communication outpost for the
communities who hitherto have unfriendly perception about
anything in Army Uniform!

I will not blame ignorance on the part of the parents,
schools and communities neither will I blame the parents
that took their children/wards and prevented them from
being vaccinated! I will blame the military for not doing a
professional job of engaging the community and earning
their trust before extending medical assistance to these
communities!

South East "Key Opinion Leader" is IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu.

Nigeria Army attack on IPOB and Kanu that command millions of followers from the region is nothing but dumb.

Nigeria Army, Nigeria government and Nigeria as a country have lost every legitimacy, credibility and trust in the heart and mind of South East and Part of South South especially Portharcort. both home and abroad.

And Buhari and his co night walkers dont care because he erroneously assume that their heart and support for the country is not important ...


What happen today is just a sample of posibility...

Buhari had once again tru that attack raised Kanu status to gods level... some one that was willing to lose everything for his people .. someone that was willing to sacrifice his life for the masses

Yeah yeah.. they can start from the north. We don't need them here in the East. OP, if you so care for the inoculation, you can invite them to your community.

Suddenly, The Federal Government now has a project/Program for the South East. There is now fund for such, but there will be no fund for the Second Niger Bridge or for the Eastern Rail Line.
