When next they drag the igbo nation with “fraud”, “drug pushers” etc, remind them of Dr Samuel Achilefu with his over 50 US patents, Dr. Chibugo Okoli
Dr. Chibugo Okoli, the first African woman Medical Director and Director of Public Health in the UK.. Call to their stupid memories Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics, Prof Emeka Anyaoku the first African commom wealth chairman, Prof Ben Enwonwu first Nigerian sculptor of.

Africans wants to copy everything tyrannical and wrong about western civilization but ignore the salutary stuff.
The American Declaration of Independence, for instance, states that when govt becomes destructive of rights and freedoms the people have the DUTY to remove it. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among..”

When analyzing the civil war, I think it is even more important to highlight the causes and events leading up to it.
The war wasn’t primarily a war of egos, it was a war of survival.
Like Ojukwu said “the success of failure of the war would be defined by if we survive it”.. Not conquered territory. The entire locus of the war was that are not annihilated as a people. The pogroms in Northern and Western Nigeria made it imperative that we were no longer welcome in the union and we basically fought to leave and remain alive.

The way I hate seeing people insinuate that because someone is not in the country they can’t contribute speak on happenings in the country because “you’re in Canada/USA/China egging people on” 🤦🏽‍♂️
The thing dey scatter my bodi.
So we can’t have a position, but na you carry Trump.. For head. You wey nor get passport sabi all the names of the American senators and even get favorites to win in American elections?
Do y’all know how many of us are passionate about the country because we want to be able to have a locus standi & proud of our own home nations?

In 1692, Queen Nzinga of Ndongo went to Luanda to negotiate with the Portuguese on the royal family’s behalf.
The Portuguese, who was seated, expected her to sit on the floor. Affronted by this, she commanded one of her male attendants to go on all fours & she sat on him instead. This was when European women were still banished to the kitchen and not allowed to speak in the presence of men.
African women have always had pride of place in our societies. Resilient, powerful and many times wielded more power than their male counterparts.

We haven’t heard from you since the heightened spate of repression which disproportionately targets the young & vulnerable of the motherland.
As you celebrated Africa Youth Day on 11/1 & touted the youth charter, young people were being targeted in Uganda & Nigeria @_AfricanUnion This wasn’t the Africa Pixley Ka Isaka Seme envisioned on that glorious 1906 day in his speech “The Regeneration of Africa”.
This wasn’t the Africa Selassie, Olympio, Nkrumah etc, spoke of in 1963.
How is vision 2063 to be achieved if there’s no one left to live it?@_AfricanUnion

Okay, this has nothing to do with the Ghana vs Naija beef or who’s Jollof Cardi preferred or Sowore but I promise it’s just as crucial.
FACT: Israel is the only country in the world that prohibits organ transplant from China..
Why? Okay, I’d explain with a short true story 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

A while back, an Israeli surgeon had a heart disease patient in need of a heart transplant. On one of their consults, the patient boasted that he’d be getting a transplant in a month.
Now, anyone in the medical circle knows this isn’t how transplants work.
