IGBOS IN DALLAS TEXAS STAGE PROTEST !!!
DR ARIYO NEEDS TO RELOCATE OUT OF STATE AND DO SO FAST AS HIS CONTINUED PRACTICE IN THAT CLINIC WILL DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD TO HIS PARTNERS AND PATIENTS ALIKE.
Nigerians in the United States, particularly those in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, on Monday, May 4, 2015 staged their first of 30-day protest rallies against Dr. Adeniran Abraham Ariyo, a Dallas-based cardiologist for his resent Facebook posting, where he called for Igbo massacre. Dr. Ariyo has since published what many characterized as a non-apology.
Recalling the atrocities against the Igbo, Atty. Edwin Nwokocha commented, “I am baffled by the comments made by Dr. Ariyo; his comments are very troubling and I can’t believe that a man who have lived in the United States for over 20 years will harbor such hatred against a tribe.”
“What is more troubling about Dr. Ariyo’s comments is his confirmation that he had participated in shipping Nd-Igbo to Onitsha. When he said “we will continue to ship them to Onitsha,” I personally and the world want to know what role has he played in that regard? Is Dr. Ariyo revealing to us about a conspiracy he is involved in, to kill and ship Igbo bodies to Onitsha? If he has, as he claimed, he must be investigated and charged for that offense by the appropriate authorities here in the United States.”
“Calling for the extermination of Ndi-Igbo is nothing new to Ndi-Igbo; we’ve endured the systematic killings of the Igbo in Nigeria, but will not remain silent when the instigator lives and works in a community with high number of Igbo population. So my brothers, this is not an issue Ndi-Igbo or the world should take lightly,” Nwokocha concluded.
Prior to the protest, Johnson Ihemeremadu announced the site of the rally as “Heart Masters Medical center located at 3535 W. Wheatland Rd. Dallas, TX 75237” and added, “A rallying call goes to all Igbos in the Dallas Fort Worth Area, and all concerned Igbos in the United States to come out in [droves]to say No to Dr. Adeniran Abraham Ariyo, the xenophobic cardiologist who wants Igbos exterminated.”
Ezioma Anosike , Publisher & Editorial Dire ctor of Amoize Magazine nar rated, “ T he Igbos in the Dal las-Fort Worth got plenty of drivers to honk today May 4, 2015 as the President and members of the Igbo Com munity Association of Niger ia Dallas Fort Wort h picketed in front of Dr. Abraham Ariyo’s office, the Texas doctor who ca lled for the massacre of Igbos in Nigeria the way Nigerians are being killed in South Africa.”
She continued, “As the patients turned into the parking lot, many of them stopped to ask what was going on, expressing dismay when told about Dr. Ariyo’s comments.” “They held sig ns with phrases such a s “A xenophobic cardiologist works here,” and “Igbo life is not safe at this hospital, Dr. Abraham Ariyo mu st go,” Ezioma Anosike commented. “A large crowd came out to ensure w ide publ ic awareness of the doctor’s message today and another picketing ses sion is scheduled for tomorrow,” she concluded.
Atty Charles Maduka wrote, “We are right now protest ing in f ront of Hear t Master Cardiology where Dr. Abraham Ariyo practice s hate and bigotry against Igbo. Nd i-Igbo and concerned Nigerians in DFW where are you? Come out and flush this man out. If you keep quite as usual , we continue to su ffer and be killed time is now, every day for the next one month, 10am-1pm.”
Describing the rally, Nze Ben Nnawuihe re counted, “When we got here, there were two police detectives assigned to the group, who add ressed and instructed on the guidelines. Then came police helicopter hovering over the huge and unexpected crowds of Igbo men and women. Minutes later, police officers were everywhere. We started by distributing flyers and posters to the protesters who sang some Biafran war songs along the sidewalk because the police won’t let us on the property. It was very peaceful and well organized rally. Some of the police officers had to leave because what they probably had in mind were not there.”
Joe Nze Eto, chairman of World Igbo Congress (WIC) expressed “disgust” at Dr. Ariyo’s mindset and commeded the Igbo in Dallas for their action. He said, “World Igbo Congress (WIC) commends the leadership of Igbo Community Association of Nigeria (ICAN) Dallas for organizing the protest. “WIC is fully behind the protest and we strongly Dr. Ariyo’s hate and bigotry, as well as his call to exterminate an ethnic group,” Eto said.
Even though the Facebook post was a few weeks ago, the passage of time has not tempered emotions that have been running high among Nigerians, especially the Igbo, who remember vividly the carnage they received not too long ago in Nigeria. While the massacre of Ndigbo in Nigeria is still fresh in the minds of many, it is rather unfortunate some people are still latched on to the hate and bigotry that led to the civil war. Sad still, it is egregious for someone to incite or call for an extermination of a race, a crime against humanity. Nevertheless, there has been a dearth of coverage about Ariyo’s statements until ignited by protests at his office.
