To Be or Not To Be 2? Should Ibejisancestors be eliminated from Gods Creation or only in West African Sub-Region? In my childhood days, I was once engaged in War Against Lizards, their sight was very nauseating to me that I used to indoctrinate Joshua and Joel Abogunrin and Rauph Adanla to accompany me to St Marks School premises to wage Mother of All Wars on Lizards by stoning any one we sighted then. A turning point arose when I used my terrific left hand to scatter the body of a lizard that hid at the back of a bottle which I stoned so badly to that level of destruction and then a closer look reminded me I needed not embark on what Chinua Achebe called War of Blame in his book, Things Fall Apart. The play of Conscience also reverberated in me that Yoruba admonision that states, Yi ese re si apakan, ma se pa kokoro nni kokoro ti Iwo ko le da Olorun re ni O le da. Match not or kill not the insect for non thou created not but only the everliving God did. The allegation of African Monkeys and allied relations being the cause of Ebola pestilence in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria is now creating ripples of all sorts in Animals and West Africans to such an extent that both Monkeys, Executives, Legislators, Drug Merchants including pedestrian You and I in Nigeria are imagining what we lose and what others gain in my suspicion of Foreign Conspiracy in all the saga. I know once upon a time, the Wild Wide Fund complained about endangered species of animals including monkeys and advocated issuance of postage stamps on them,. I remembered too that many great Uites were proved Worthy in Character and Learning after graduating from the University of Ibadan Zoo Campus where Haruna was Vice Chancellor before brother Daniel went to confront Sister Lion on a Christmas Day. With the dimension Ebola is taking us who is sure the monkeys will not revolt like Nigerian doctors and should we take unalloyed rights like government to deprive them of their rights of residency? Hmmm Time we Tell if only We are Ready to Think. God Bless Nigeria.
