How do you give such power to one man and how do you control such power from going out of hand or being misused?

Taking the decision away from parents of children as regards vaccinations is dictatorial. Parents should decide what they want or not

This bill is somehow

Iamundisputed:
They were under pressure to act fast... COVID19 is not a joke. Although I believe there should be some adjustments to this bill so that conspiracy theorists won't come and use it as an avenue to spread more lies like 5G and Antichrist...

How old are you?

The sterilization post was for a user here who said Nigerians should be sterilized. It wasn't for the post, it is an error. However, I like to know if you support forced vaccination on kids?

SocialJustice:
Lol, please read the original post, nothing was said about sterilisation. I was just fooling around with that crazy Correcto.

This bill was created to legalise things the government is already doing to fight corona virus and to safeguard citizens.

I was trying to reply some who said Nigerians should be sterilized. However, I like to know if you support forced vaccination as enshrined in the bill?

One of your neighbors who works with the NCDC could recommend your apartment to be used as an isolation center and without your consent, this is implemented by your men in black

From the proposed bill that responsibility falls on the DG NCDC alone and not anyone else ...besides anyone worthy enough to man that exalted position would have to factor in certain critical criteria to designate a property an isolation centre and more importantly the use of such a property expires with the mitigation of the outbreak.

This evil Bill Gates and his Satanic Illluminati are very serious about this their mandatory mark-of-the-beast quantum dot vaccine.

They are pushing through and they want to start testrunning in Africa.

Sadly, African governments are nothing but tools in the hands of these evil globalists.

But the people can still win them.

And it starts by questioning everything!!!

NO BODY

I MEAN NO BODY IS PERMITTED TO PUT ANY THING THAT IS NOT OF GOD INTO A CHILD OF GOD UNTIL THE CHURCH IS RAPTURED.

FEAR NOT PEOPLE OF GOD, HE IS IN CONTROL. HE SHALL NOT LET YOUR FOOT TO BE MOVED.

AFTER THE CHURCH IS RAPTURED, PREPARE FOR THE WORSE.

TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.

Rubbisshhh

Enough of this rapture bullshit.

Your fake pastor keeps telling you that the great tribulations will only happen once rapture has occurred. Do you know why? Because rapture has already happened and he wasn't taken up. That will be bad for his pastor business won't it that rapture has happened and he is still around?

But I tell you that rapture has long occurred. Only 144,000 since Adam will be taken up to heaven. Out of that only a few of those would have been alive in our life time. The chances of you knowing a saint in these timeline is equal to you finding $100 billion dollars on the streets.

You better begin to believe in end times because you are living in it.

The Bill is obviously a precusor to the end time events as stated in the Book of Revelation. It will usher in the compulsory imprinting of the MARK OF THE BEAST on people and gives draconian powers to the authorities to brutally enforce compliance.

AmazingELixir:



From the write up I really don't see any reason for the public outcry against the bill...the fact that it bestows much power to the DG NCDC who in this case is a career technocrat as against a politician gives the bill credence.


The only worries is the overzealous nature of the enforcers especially the men in black, my thoughts though.

Agreed in principle. The way the bill's cited points have been written, it's emergency measures, war measures, in a war against contagion. To stop the spread of any contagion, the NCDC needs discipline and compliance, and control over who (carrying what) enters and leaves their isolation centers, or the ability to stop the movement of infected persons, to prevent the further spread of contagion.

HOWEVER, the rampant abuse of power in Nigeria, worries me, given what these sweeping powers permit.

adekolaelect:

Correction

The law 'sounds dictatorial' (not 'sounded dictatorship').

Use 'existence' in that sentence, not 'existent'.

kponkedenge:
All I saw above was about diphtheria, measles, polio and meningitis.
I have a close friend that wasn't immunized as a child, he eventually contracted polio, and the scar of it IS and WILL continue to hunt him for the rest of his life.
There's nothing wrong taking a vaccine for any of these.... But forcing it on people is what I don't want.
Let those that don't want to take be left alone, others that want to take... Let them be given.

That's just my take.

Here, o this link and learn more about the Polio vaccine:https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/06/28/534403083/mutant-strains-of-polio-vaccine-now-cause-more-paralysis-than-wild-polio

So people believe this will work, what a joke...

Trust me I know Nigeria, this is what will happen
1- The money earmarked for this project will be declared missing
2- You will hear FG is owning NCDC staff salaries and allowances for 3 months
3- NCDC will protest and go for indefinite strike
4- FG will call NCDC staffs for a dialogue

When I read the bill, it’s a clear indication that the authorities have collected bribes from the westerners.

Just look at the wordings
Authority
Power
Arrest
Punishment
Fines
Must

The bill is written and published to prove to WHO, IMF, Bill Gates etc that the FG is serious.

A deception to steal our money

Demzlent:
Many people have been commenting on this controversial bill but most people are not aware of the content:

So this is what the bill says:

POWERS FOR ARBITRARY ARREST AND ‘WHATEVER THAT IS NECESSARY’

On at least 15 occasions, the 47-page bill empowers the police, health officers or anyone so directed by the NCDC DG to arrest any suspect for alleged breach of any of its 80 provisions, mostly without the need for a warrant issued to that effect.

Also, in a number of cases, there seem to be no need for reasonable evidence that an individual has committed a crime under the bill to warrant an arrest. For instance, section 57 empowers a police or health officer to, on the orders of the NCDC DG, arrest an individual “who he has reason to believe has committed any offence under this Act” under certain conditions including “if there is reason to doubt the accuracy of the name and address if given”.

Its section 15(4) also gives the police or health officers — some of who are appointed by the NCDC DG — the power to “take any action that is necessary to give effect to an order under subsection (3) (which relates to the isolation centre)”.

That subsection three empowers the NCDC DG to, through written orders: “(a.) prohibit any person or class of persons from entering or leaving the isolation area without the permission of the Director General; …

“(b.) prohibit or restrict the movement within the isolation area of any person or class of persons; (c.) prohibit or restrict the movement of goods; (d.) require any person or class of persons to report at specified times and places and submit to such medical examinations, answer such questions and submit to such medical treatment as the Director General thinks fit; …

“(e.) authorise the destruction, disposal or treatment of any goods, structure, water supply, drainage and sewerage system or other matter within the isolation area known or suspected to be a source of infection; and (f.) prohibit, restrict, require or authorise the carrying out of such other act as may be prescribed.”

This means that, if a police or health officer thinks it is necessary, they have the right to shoot an individual to effect the aforementioned provisions, especially as there is no definition of what could be necessary nor a limit provided for such.

ANY PLACE COULD BE DECLARED AS AN ISOLATION CENTRE

The proposed legislation empowers the minister of health to declare “any premises” as an isolation area if he so desires.

The section 15 states: “(1) The Minister may, for the purpose of preventing the spread or possible outbreak of an infectious disease, by notification in the Gazette declare any premises to be an isolation area.

“(2) A notification under subsection (1) shall be effective until the expiration of such period as may be specified in the notification or until it is revoked by the Minister, whichever occurs first.”

COMPULSORY VACCINATION FOR EVERY CHILD

The new bill also mandates parent or guardian of “every child in Nigeria” to “ensure that the child is vaccinated against infectious diseases such as diphtheria, measles, polio and meningitis”. It also requires a notice for vaccination to be issued for newborns “immediately” after their birth.

Its section 47 also empowers the NCDC DG to direct anyone not vaccinated for a disease during an outbreak to do so.

It states: “(1) In an outbreak or a suspected outbreak of any infectious disease in any area in Nigeria, the Director General may by order direct any person or class of persons not protected or vaccinated against the disease to undergo vaccination or other prophylaxis within such period as may be specified in the order.

“(2) In addition to the power conferred by subsection (1), where it appears to the Director that — (a.) an outbreak of an infectious disease in any area in Nigeria is imminent; and …

“(b.) It is necessary or expedient to do so for the securing of public safety, the Director may by order direct any person or class of persons not protected or vaccinated against that infectious disease to undergo vaccination or other prophylaxis within such period as may be specified in the order.

“(3) Any order made under subsection (1) or (2) may specify the person by whom and the way the vaccination or other prophylaxis is to be carried out.

“(4) Where any order is made under subsection (1) or (2), the Director General shall cause notice of the effect of the order to be given in such a manner as he thinks necessary for bringing it to the notice of all persons who in his opinion ought to have notice thereof.”

‘SIX MONTHS JAIL FOR FIRST TIME OFFENDERS, N2M FINE FOR FALSE INFORMATION FROM BLOOD DONORS

The bill also provides for stringent penalties for some offences, including six months jail for first time offenders under any of the act for which no penalty was given.

Section 68 states: “Any person guilty of an offence under this Act for which no penalty is expressly provided shall — (a.) in the case of a first offence, be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both; and …

“(b.) in the case of a second or subsequent offence, be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding N200,000 (Two Hundred Thousand) or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.”

Also, a blood donor who supplies any false or misleading information shall, upon conviction, pay a fine not exceeding N2 million or be imprisoned for a term not exceeding two years or both.

It also provides for a fine of N5 million for a convicted individual who owns a vessel or who supplies food and water to a vessel without either ensuring that what is supplied is “fit for human consumption” or that the vessel or “vehicle and the food and water receptacles therein are in a clean and sanitary condition”.

Anyone who “wilfully neglects or refuses to carry out or obstructs the execution of any emergency measure” formulated by the NCDC DG as part of his “extraordinary powers” provided for in section 61 will, upon conviction, be liable for a fine of N1 million or imprisonment of six months or both.

UNCHECKED POWERS FOR THE NCDC DG

The bill also seems to give quite a number of powers to the NCDC director-general, most of which are as he “deems fit”. While the minister was mentioned on about 30 occasions, there at least 150 mentions of the centre’s DG.

For instance, it enables the NCDC DG to appoint any public official to be a health officer and such person, like the police officers, are empowered to make arrests with or without a warrant. Its section 2(1) empowers the DG to “appoint any public officer, officer of any statutory body; or employee of a prescribed institution, to be a Health Officer for the purposes of this Act” subject to such conditions or restrictions as he thinks fit.

Also, its section 61 provides for “extraordinary powers in relation to emergency measures” which states that the NCDC DG “may, with the approval of the Minister, formulate and implement emergency measures for the control of an infectious disease in any area and such measures shall be published in the Gazette before implementation.”

Unlike the quarantine act of 1926 in which powers mostly reside with either the president or minister, most of the powers of the NCDC DG in the new bill are to be exercised without any approval from the minister or the president including powers to direct vaccination, order arrest of suspects or closure of the premises he believes might lead to the outbreak or spread of any infectious disease.

EXCLUSION OF STATE GOVERNORS

Unlike the infectious diseases act of 1926 which among other things empowers state governors to issue quarantine regulations and any other directives as provided for, the new bill does not recognise such powers for the governors.

In fact, there is no mention of ‘governor’ except in its section 78 which states that “the powers of the President under this Act shall be exercisable by him or any Minister designated by him in that behalf and references in this Act to Governor shall be construed accordingly”.

Interestingly, such powers are non-existent.

This will never go through in Nigeria! What kind of evil bill is this? Who ever sponsored this bill must be investigated and prosecuted along with his or her cronies. Rubbish!!

kevoh:
As long as everything is done within the context of containing an infectious disease and preventing it from becoming a pandemic like COVID-19, then I support this bill. Don't quote me if you're a tin foil hat wearing conspiracist! I won't grant you the attention!

This comment on YouTube is an excellent response to people like you; "Often when a person labels someone
a conspiracy theorist or comments
this is a conspiracy.

What the person is actually doing is:

Publicly announcing their inability to
consider another point of view.

Demonstrating closed-mindedness.

Declaring they are lazy and will refuse to
do any research.

Exhibiting cognitive dissonance and
protecting their world view.

Expressing arrogance by dismissing another
individual's point of view.

Preventing opportunities for truth and community
to flourish by disrupting open discourse"

People who raise alarms are often dismissed, albeit ignorantly, as conspiracy theorists but before their eyes the plots keep unfolding. The gullibles were the reason slavery lasted for centuries because they would believe every propaganda their masters shoved down their throats. Haven't you seen how some Nigerians are defending Gates with their last breath as if they are privy to the inner workings of his mind? Those useful idiots can defend any nonsense.

Well said and the saddest part is such people are the majority, to their own very detriment.......

People do not value freedom until it is LOST. As if the DG, NCDC will always be fair and objective.
..and he can never be used as a tool to punish perceived enemy of the person in power.

On day, the government will bring up the idea of permanent sterilisation of people older than 30 years old before you begin to complain.

“(b.) in the case of a second or subsequent offence, be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding N200,000 (Two Hundred Thousand) or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.”

Also, a blood donor who supplies any false or misleading information shall, upon conviction, pay a fine not exceeding N2 million or be imprisoned for a term not exceeding two years or both.

It also provides for a fine of N5 million for a convicted individual who owns a vessel or who supplies food and water to a vessel without either ensuring that what is supplied is “fit for human consumption” or that the vessel or “vehicle and the food and water receptacles therein are in a clean and sanitary condition”.

Anyone who “wilfully neglects or refuses to carry out or obstructs the execution of any emergency measure” formulated by the NCDC DG as part of his “extraordinary powers” provided for in section 61 will, upon conviction, be liable for a fine of N1 million or imprisonment of six months or both.

https://www.thecable.ng/compulsory-vaccination-arbitrary-arrest-inside-house-of-reps-diseases-control-bill

Any Bill that contravenes the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, giving sweeping powers to a DG and denies Nigerians the human right provision of Presumption of Innocence; any such bill is null and void ab-initio.

Even if passed by the Lower House, it will be effort in futility, waste of time and resources and uncivilised legislation.

Where the upper house (Senate) join this very bandwagon; we will await judicial pronouncement to whittle the whole thing down.

May God help Nigeria

When the government brings up such idea we will be ready.....but until then let's have some measure of hope on our government and disabuse our minds that the authorities are always out to undermine or undo us as citizens.

Ade3131:
Funny to know that the bastards pushing for this bill might not be around for too long to witness the side effects of some of these vaccines. They don't have issues creating problems for the coming generations by either collecting loans that they'll end up squandering or force-vaccinating progenies at a time when their immune system is at it weakest. These ones will not think twice before mortgaging the country for some dollars in their foreign accounts. Las Las, something must kill a man like they say. My strong advise is for people to start researching how to detoxify themselves and their wards if eventually this bill sees the light of the day.

you are a mumu man!! what has been the effects of previous vaccines??

ZombieNation:


Have you considered that with this provision they can mandate you to take any vaccine that they deem fit for you.

What stops bill gates in unleashing Ebola and then Lassa Fever and from there they get you to take the vaccines for these viruses?

You will be loaded with as much vaccines as they deem fit until you come down with Gulf War Syndrome - an AIDS like disease that was prevalent among Gulf war veterans who were loaded with a cocktail of vaccines before being deployed to Iraq.

Yes, vaccines do comprise your natural immunity.

you guys are really trying with this your useless conspiracies oh!! such ignorance!!

If only God will give babies the opportunity to choose nationality...

Femi is a fraudster that is wanted in America..

It takes one to be stupid to identify another like him or herself. Unfortunately for you I'm not your kind. Ordinarily I wouldn't have wasted efforts trying to school you bcuz the height of gullibility you displayed in your comment is unrivaled.

A wise man would have ordinarily asked politely to know the harms that the current crops of vaccines have caused, but thanks to your low level IQ you went about it foolishly.

To save myself the time in writing you an epistle I'm sure you don't deserve, I'll rather give you assignments to read up and draw conclusions if your IQ can be upgraded to reason that much. Go through the links below and sin no more... you Born-fool
