An African Union vaccine expert and Nigerian citizen, Dr. Ayoade Olatunbosun-Alakija, has slammed western countries in a scathing BBC interview, criticising the West for banning Africa over the new Omicron variant first discovered in South Africa and calling for a co-ordinated global shutdown. The video has been watched over 330,000 times on one of her social media accounts and 80,000 on the account of the South African Foreign Affairs Department spokesperson, Clayson Monyela. Dr. Olatunbosun-Alakija claimed the world should have been prepared for a new Covid-19 crisis, calling it “inevitable”. HER REMARKS “Had the first SARS-Covid virus — the one that was first identified in China last year — originated in Africa it is now clear that the world would have locked us away and thrown away the key,” she scathed. “There would have been no urgency to develop vaccines because we would have been expendable, Africa would have become known as the continent of Covid. “What is going on right now is inevitable, it's a result of the world’s failure to vaccinate in an equitable, urgent and speedy manner.” She criticised countries for immediately introducing travel bans to numerous southern African countries and pleaded to vaccinate Africans urgently. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB2IrghOxDI “Quite frankly, it is unacceptable, these travel bans are based on politics and not in science, it is wrong”. “Why are the Africans unvaccinated? It’s an outrage. We knew we were going to get here. We knew this was a crossroads it was going to bring us to. It was going to bring us to a variant, it was going to bring us to more dangerous variants. “Why are we acting surprised? Why are we locking away Africa when this virus is already on three continents?” “Nobody is locking away Belgium & Israel (where cases were also reported). Why are we locking away Africa? “It is wrong and it also time our African leaders stand up and they find their voice. African leadership needs to sit up at this moment, our Presidents need to wake up at this moment and realise that this is not business as usual. “The continent is at stake, our lives are at stake and we cannot allow the world to do this to us”. Dr Olatunbosun-Alakija recommended a “co-ordinated global shutdown of travel for the next month” but she pleaded, “don’t single out Africa”. Many countries including the US, European Union, Morocco, Rwanda and Mauritius have banned people from the following countries due to the emergence of a new covid varient discovered in South Africa this past week: Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa itself. https://www.news.com.au/world/omicron-variant-world-races-to-contain-new-covid-variant/news-story/c6e03148dd5daa2412629f416ec15963 31 Likes 2 Shares

African ! African ! Oh my African. What is our problems? Can we conclude that African is an intellectual deficiency . Why must we depends on western world to survive? Why is it difficult for us to place priority on science than religion? Why is African leaders looking down on themself? [/color] Its always saddens me when I could not locate African in MAP science and technology. We are blessed naturally, We have everything that can make us great even be in the forefront of leadership. The African youth have been left hidden. African leaders should place priority to African youth, motivate, empower more importantly leave power for them.[color=#990000] The African youth has every potential, intellectual capacity, courage, strive in hazardous environment to survive and can motion the affairs of our great continent. [/color] The African youths can challenge the western world if given the rightful tools. Human capital is more necessary than fiscal capital. For centuries less were placed on human capital development in every part of African nations upto date . The sense of incurring fiscal capital has put many African nations into debt and economic depression, even causing hyperinflation. [color=#990000] When do African realized this , and change our ways of life. We need to reorganize our society, have a serious sense discussions that everything is not about using forces, anger, superiority power to achieve things. [/color] The western world we continue to look down on us as intellectual deficiency continents in many years to come. [color=#990000] 13 Likes 2 Shares |

So much Deceptions and Delusions in these last of the Last days. You need the wisdom of GOD to operate, if not you fall for the Deceptions and Delusions. CV is the Red carpet to the Beast System. Everything that is being done about it has 2 major End points . First is Population Control and Depopulation Second target is to connect souls to the Mark of the Beast. Revelation 13:16-18 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

We had a good try in Senegal that even developed rapid testing for covid-19. They could have gone further if one or some of our moneybags invested there or in Center For Excellence here in Osun or Lagos. Vaccines take a great deal of investment and RISKS in case anything goes wrong. So most of these CRISP technology companies look for Government Immunity because some people will sue and wipe out their profit. Then, there are fake discoveries by reputable senior Research Professors from AIDS to - you name it - that have fallen apart. We can, but this money money first mentality is an albatross. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Assuming they can find a way to erase what everyone knows on how COVID originated from China and tag it one of the African countries, they would have done that... The China where the whole thing came from, no one is talking about them anymore, Yes because China got a lot of things to offer them... They target African countries because they feel they have little or nothing to offer.. 29 Likes |

Surprised her interview is gaining this much support from South Africans or is it because she spoke largely in defence of your country? Or isn't it this same assertiveness and propensity not to take bullshit lying low that Nigerians are termed 'loud' and hated by you lots over there?
