It saddens to see that Africans are still not yet fully liberated from the shackles of western colonization and imperialism.
Despite their political independence, they are still in economic and mental encumber and obscurity. We claimed to be independent but our economy is still exploited by these people and most importantly,our thinking and perceptions of social and political administrations are still determined and controlled by them.
Madagascar, African's largest island with a population of 27.5 million people and military strength of 13,500 found a cure for the global pandemic that even the claimed powerful countries failed to achieve. what a commendable effort! but the World Healthy Organization rejected this. why? Is it because the cure was discovered in black continent?then who is expected to discover a vaccine or cure? Is it Bill Gate, the world richest man, who is on a mission to appropriate the world? Or from the Asian where the problem ostensibly originated from? Inarguably, it appears that only a vaccine or cure from either of the aforementioned would be truly acceptable by WHO.
It doesn't matter where the cure or vaccine comes from or who is accredited with it's invention. what really matters is it's efficiency and effectiveness to end this unwanted virus from the surface of the earth but instead of giving adequate medical support, they continue making illogical excuse saying "it is not scientifically proven". However, there might be a contingency that their theory is right but why can't WHO work in hand with Madagascar government in to enhance and authenticate the cure.
The fundamental question that arises is that, do we still really need WHO's approval and recommendation before testing the cure? we can easily verify the Madagascar news and find out for ourselves if Lengasa works against covid-19. this requires for just a simple logic but instead,our incurably kleptomaniac attitudes, disunity, government delinquency and corruption, selfish aspiration , medical and technological dependency continues to exacerbating which is affecting the progress and sustainable development of every country in Africa.
If we can't critically evaluate and find solution to what's happening in our atmosphere, then who is running our minds? Should we remain like this forever?of course not! we can't continue living in political, social, economic and technological fragments. many talents have been wasted because there is no adequate support. Most of the contemporary problems are caused internally so, stop putting all blames on the whites. We have natural resources and industrious people who are ready to work for the betterment of Africa but the government continues to waste money on white elephant projects rather than people's orientation. why does this often occur, it is simply because they refused to be free from the encumber and obscurity of mental colonization. They want to be like them so, they adopted their customs and systems. our constitution are nothing but a replicate of our former colonial master's. This happens because we refuse positive and rational dynamism.
Presently,Madagascar is not joking. Schools have reopened , the production of covid organics is going smoothly in Madagascar with the president making it's consumption compulsory for adults and children. stores are short for supplies , yet the fore demands have not started in high numbers. the product is distributed free in schools and to the poor neighbors. Madagascar is proving that African country can survive and act for it's people.
Andry Rejoelina, the president of Madagascar is soliciting international partnership for mass production of their work which could also be given as injection. a bigger factory is being but to increase production.
With this determination, why some Africa countries are afraid to support Madagascar? It saddens when South Africa government says they are only giving research analysis support only.
It is conspicuous that Madagascar cure is taking away opportunities from our leaders because most of them are making huge profits out of covid-19 crisis and that is why most Africa countries refused to accept the cure not because of WHO's warning.
Finally, without any form of juxtaposition or favoritism, I think it is high time we supported Madagascar in all ramifications. What they need now is our support and backup. If we could achieve this together as an entity then we are making a history. let positively change our orientations and free from external interventions.
