While Africans are investing so much in going to church and mosques 5 times daily, the Western world is advancing in medicine, technological innovations etc in rescuing mankind from the disease and conditions that Africans spend their whole lives in churches and mosques.
So finally, who is doing the work of God/Allah better, who is showing that he is the better representative of God here on earth?

An average Nigerian whether Christian or Muslim once he goes to Western advanced world pockets his religion into his pocket upon realizing that those societies are doing better without too much religion. Religion inhibits capacity of human mind to think critically

Kudos to the inventors of this life saving drugs

Just thank God you're Hale and hearty. Some people aren't that lucky.

So what happen to all the report submitted to WHO seeking approval.

Oh I forgot, everything must come from them first.

Our government is a useless one. They don't allow our own to get out there except those who already made it out there, they're the ones they'd be quick to identify with.

You can't ask us as citizens to develop ourselves or appreciate our own and not lead that charge from the front as a government.

We know what they did to Dog Abalaka discovery on HIV cure.

Nigeria is a blind country.

@ Until I saw your post, I was going to say why do we feel we're equal in anything to this people across?


I even saw someone who came here to seek advice on the pain his brother goes through as a sickle cell and someone even advised him to take him to church. It's that bad.

Actually, there brain is not special, they just have a better enabling environment to thrive. That's why Nigerians who go there in educational pursuit also thrive even though they mostly go at adulthood and don't have a good head start..

If we had good leaders in Nigerian who allowed our educational system blossom instead of continuously stifling it, this people will not see our back because we Nigerians are hardworking and determined and that's why you will see even secondary school students studying all night.

Yes their cell brains are not different but they have better thinking faculty than us. Enabling environment don't just fall from heaven but products of selfless philosophers starting from socrates. While these philosophers were busy questioning the primitive way of living and re-integrated it into well structured modern societies., your African brothers were busy enslaving themselves, keeping all public resources to themselves and their families.

The reality is that, Africa culture breed greed and self ego, couple with individualistic approach to life. The simple difference between the white and black race is that, the former sees their societies as bedrock for development, while the later are ignorantly sees their households as one.

With this culture that promote greed and personal aggrandizement, black race will remain the same till the end of the time.

There are millions of Africans who were born oversees and had both their childhood and adult lives as well as their education over there, what has their brains done for Africa in terms of development and technological advancement ?

Nothing special about them.
Have you ever wondered why kids in very special private schools perform better than their mates in public schools? It's cis of the enabling environment.
We no get good leaders and most of the citizens are mentally handicapped by poverty or religion.
Fix these and Nigerians will shine.
Over there, once the bank sees potential in your business, they are the ones to approach you for grants and loans. You can have a startup as a nobody and you will flourish.
Can never happen in Nigeria.

And to come out with that innovation and/or treatment is not a month or years job. Kudos to them.
Uts only a greedy man that will make his family suffer to get $2.2M for treatment. Just due and let them use the money for better thing. If you guys are rich and worth more than that, no problem.

A US organization(FDA) approved a US treatment and you are ranting.
What's the business of WHO here?

Let those you claimed have breakthrough in Nigeria publish their research and seek approval
from NAFDAC.

Now, to the link you posted, if you read the article, the supposed breakthrough was merely a copycat technique
already used in Europe using European-made machines according to the report.
The article is merely pointing out that is the first time(maybe) the technique is used successfully in Nigeria.
Not everything is a conspiracy.

their brain isn't more sophisticated than black man's. They only thrashed that nonsense called religion and stopped relying on sky daddy for solutions to their problems while black man still think going to churches owned by black man like himself and relying on hungry sky daddy who collects tithe and offerings before he can find solutions.

It's high time we developed our herbal cure claims for ailments believed to have no cure.
We generally disregard such claims because we believe there is no cure but we express happiness and believe upon hearing similar claim from the other side of the world.
