Myth #6:

As for immediate danger from vaccines, in the form of allergic reactions or severe side effects, the incidence of death are so rare they can't even truly be calculated. For example, only one death was reported to the CDC between 1990 and 1992 that was attributable to a vaccine. The overall incidence rate of severe allergic reaction to vaccines is usually placed around one case for every one or two million injections.

Myth #7: Vaccines can infect my child with the disease it's trying to prevent.
Vaccines can cause mild symptoms resembling those of the disease they are protecting against. A common misconception is that these symptoms signal infection. In fact, in the small percentage (less than 1 in one million cases) where symptoms do occur, the vaccine recipients are experiencing a body's immune response to the vaccine, not the disease itself. There is only one recorded instance in which a vaccine was shown to cause disease. This was the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) which is no longer used in the U.S. Since then, vaccines have been in safe use for decades and follow strict Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.

Myth #8: We don't need to vaccinate because infection rates are already so low in the United States.
Thanks to "herd immunity," so long as a large majority of people are immunized in any population, even the unimmunized minority will be protected. With so many people resistant, an infectious disease will never get a chance to establish itself and spread. This is important because there will always be a portion of the population – infants, pregnant women, elderly, and those with weakened immune systems – that can't receive vaccines.

But if too many people don't vaccinate themselves or their children, they contribute to a collective danger, opening up opportunities for viruses and bacteria to establish themselves and spread.

Not to mention, as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warn, international travel is growing quickly, so even if a disease is not a threat in your country, it may be common elsewhere. If someone were to carry in a disease from abroad, an unvaccinated individual will be at far greater risk of getting sick if he or she is exposed.

Vaccines are one of the great pillars of modern medicine. Life used to be especially brutal for children before vaccines, with huge portions being felled by diseases like measles, smallpox, whooping cough, or rubella, to name just a few. Today these ailments can be completely prevented with a simple injection.

So as science continues to advance and tackle new challenges, people should not forget how many deaths and illnesses vaccines have prevented, and how they continue to protect us from potentially devastating forms of infectious disease.

Today, the true causes of autism remain a mystery, but to the discredit of the autism-vaccination link theory, several studies have now identified symptoms of autism in children well before they receive the MMR vaccine. And even more recent research provides evidence that autism develops in utero, well before a baby is born or receives vaccinations.

Myth #2: Infant immune systems can't handle so many vaccines.
Infant immune systems are stronger than you might think. Based on the number of antibodies present in the blood, a baby would theoretically have the ability to respond to around 10,000 vaccines at one time. Even if all 14 scheduled vaccines were given at once, it would only use up slightly more than 0.1% of a baby's immune capacity. And scientists believe this capacity is purely theoretical. The immune system could never truly be overwhelmed because the cells in the system are constantly being replenished. In reality, babies are exposed to countless bacteria and viruses every day, and immunizations are negligible in comparison.

Though there are more vaccinations than ever before, today's vaccines are far more efficient. Small children are actually exposed to fewer immunologic components overall than children in past decades.

Myth #3: Natural immunity is better than vaccine-acquired immunity.
In some cases, natural immunity — meaning actually catching a disease and getting sick– results in a stronger immunity to the disease than a vaccination. However, the dangers of this approach far outweigh the relative benefits. If you wanted to gain immunity to measles, for example, by contracting the disease, you would face a 1 in 500 chance of death from your symptoms. In contrast, the number of people who have had severe allergic reactions from an MMR vaccine, is less than one-in-one million.

Myth #4: Vaccines contain unsafe toxins.
People have concerns over the use of formaldehyde, mercury or aluminum in vaccines. It's true that these chemicals are toxic to the human body in certain levels, but only trace amounts of these chemicals are used in FDA approved vaccines. In fact, according to the FDA and the CDC, formaldehyde is produced at higher rates by our own metabolic systems and there is no scientific evidence that the low levels of this chemical, mercury or aluminum in vaccines can be harmful. See section III of this guide to review safety information about these chemicals and how they are used in vaccines.

Myth #5: Better hygiene and sanitation are actually responsible for decreased infections, not vaccines.
Vaccines don't deserve all the credit for reducing or eliminating rates of infectious disease. Better sanitation, nutrition, and the development of antibiotics helped a lot too. But when these factors are isolated and rates of infectious disease are scrutinized, the role of vaccines cannot be denied.

One example is measles in the United States. When the first measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, rates of infection had been holding steady at around 400,000 cases a year. And while hygienic habits and sanitation didn't change much over the following decade, the rate of measles infections dropped precipitously following the introduction of the vaccine, with only around 25,000 cases by 1970. Another example is Hib disease. According to CDC data, the incidence rate for this malady plummeted from 20,000 in 1990 to around 1,500 in 1993, following the introduction of the vaccine.

Myth #6: Vaccines aren't worth the risk.
Despite parent concerns, children have been successfully vaccinated for decades. In fact, there has never been a single credible study linking vaccines to long term health conditions.

As for immediate danger from vaccines, in the form of allergic reactions or severe side effects, the incidence of death are so rare they can't even truly be calculated. For example, only one death was reported

VACCINE MYTHS DEBUNKED

VACCINE MYTHS DEBUNKED
U.S. public health officials and physicians have been combating misconceptions about vaccine safety for over twenty years. They've had mixed success. Despite the fact that numerous studies have found no evidence to support the notion that vaccines cause autism and other chronic illnesses, a growing number of parents are refusing to vaccinate their children.

Researchers now link falling immunization rates to recent resurgences of vaccine-preventable diseases. In 2010, California saw 9,120 cases of whooping cough, more than any year since the whooping cough vaccine was introduced in the 1940s. Ten infants too young to be vaccinated died of whooping cough during the outbreak. The CDC warns that events like these will become more frequent and harder to control if vaccination rates continue to fall.

Fears over the safety of vaccines are understandable. The CDC vaccination schedule calls for children to receive up to 14 inoculations by the age of six – many of them vaccines developed within the last twenty years. Many parents distrust these vaccines; worried about the potential for risks and long-term side effects. Research, however, shows that most of our biggest fears about vaccinations are unfounded. These eight major vaccine myths that research has shown to be baseless:

Myth #1: Vaccines cause autism.
The widespread fear that vaccines increase risk of autism originated with a 1997 study published by Andrew Wakefield, a British surgeon. The article was published in The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, suggesting that the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine was increasing autism in British children.

The paper has since been completely discredited due to serious procedural errors, undisclosed financial conflicts of interest, and ethical violations. Andrew Wakefield lost his medical license and the paper was retracted from The Lancet.

Nonetheless, the hypothesis was taken seriously, and several other major studies were conducted. None of them found a link between any vaccine and the likelihood of developing autism. ..

.Research scientists are there to find the difference between coincidence and the real cause of diseases. Most of the misinformed skeptics of vaccines cannot tell one from the other. Of course, there were unscrupulous scientists, especially those that exploit the worst part of us to experiment on the poor in disadvantaged communities of Africans, American Indians and Jews in Nazi concentration camps. https://www.ushmm.org/collections/bibliography/medical-experiments

Their cold blooded experiments have cast doubts on the reputation of sincere and dedicated scientists of all colors and countries. Unfortunately, many of the leaders of these skeptics have taken all the shots needed to prevent the worst form of sickness or death. Leaders got the best treatment when infected. The problem here, as always, is that doubters are infectious to others. While they claim it is their life and can allow it to expire, if they so choose.

VACCINES SKEPTICS: MORE AFRAID OF VACCINE THAN THE DISEASE

Covid-19 mutation variants have rekindled an old debate, into a new one. We always have vaccine doubters that are conscientiously sure that vaccines are worse than the diseases. Yet, empirical evidence has always proved them wrong since the administration of childhood vaccinations. We had people who blamed childhood vaccines for everything but the disease itself. Vaccines have been blamed for autism, infertility, miscarriages and more.

There used to be a time when many children did not survive because of Mumps, Measles, Rubella to Whooping Cough and Hepatitis B. Smallpox and Polio vaccines saved the world from some of the most deadly and debilitating diseases in the face of resistance based on some fundamental rights. Even more disgusting, the far-right Confederation party in Poland used an Auschwitz-style Nazi banner to protest against vaccination mandate.

While the fear of the worst effect of Covid-19 in Africa has not materialized we cannot be complacent. Africans have other problems apart from combating Covid-19. They already have more than enough to deal with. Though local and traditional medicine many Africans rely on, to cure or arrest similar past waves of diseases, have not been credited. Peer reviews are needed for dosage, purity and efficacy. Local herbs and their inhaled steam worked. Nevertheless, they must be separated from placebo or coincidence.

After all, Nigeria's Center for Excellence in Osun State detected the Ebola virus locally before Western experts arrived. The same way South Africa detected Covid-19 Omicron mutation before the rest of the world. Most Africans are calling on leaders to develop local vaccines instead of waiting for cold vaccines (without the capacity to freeze them) in the rural areas or that are too close to expiration dates before delivery. The world wants the rich countries to donate more Covid-19 vaccines to developing countries, especially African countries.

Indeed, the Presidents of South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda and others are asking for waiver of intellectual properties so that these vaccines could be locally produced in Africa. But the pharmaceutical companies that depend on Government funding themselves have resisted any attempt to release their know-how to Africans. The same people that blame China for sharing the Coronavirus genome sequencing too late. They all prefer the dependent mentality of finished products that can make them more money from Africa as usual.

We cannot blame Africans if they want technology transfer or establishment of local supply laboratories for immediate use of vaccines. But we must blame poor decision makers that prefer to pay for ready-made vaccines when it would be cheaper and more efficient to make them at home as India, China and Russia did. If the rich countries refuse, buy their products, break them down, adapt and build to local environmental mutations.

Moreover, some social media spread disinformation that is not easy for the usual health education to combat. It has to be countered forcefully by their counterparts in the public media. Health Education and Information used facts to educate. Disinformation in social media is intentional mischaracterization with attractive tricks to sell and generate the maximum number of traffic for advertisements.

The problem here, as always, is that doubters are infectious to others. While they claim it is their life and can allow it to expire, if they so choose.

It is a simple logic that prevention is better than cure. Treatments like monoclonal antibody therapy are very expensive, take time to make and not enough for everyone that needs them because of short supply. The cost of putting on masks inside and in crowded public places is far cheaper than the cost of hospital treatment paid with taxes by all of us. The unvaccinated also overwhelmed the hospital intensive care units, displacing those preparing for elective surgeries and more serious cases that are not as preventable.

But nobody has the right to infect others or their communities, exposing them to life threatening diseases or outright death. American media experts are training media practitioners in African countries on ways to combat disinformation and fake news about Covid-19. There are cultural and political differences that are crucial in fighting those spreading false news in social media.

Many fatal disinformations are spreading throughout the world including the United States.
People are worried about Covid-19 alright but they are also weary about how many vaccines they have to take before they are considered fully vaccinated. It went from one shot, two shots and booster shot. While one country, at least, is administering a 4th dose. The Unvaccinated, will hold onto any or no reason, to avoid taking a single shot based on anecdotal accidents.

Nevertheless, the unvaccinated that are the most vulnerable without a single shot of vaccine, are the loudest against Covid-19 vaccine. Nothing like if you die, you die. We must take care of you and your loved ones. The cost and liabilities of vaccine production cannot be borne by pharmaceutical companies alone. The efforts, knowledge or expertise can be onerous. So the Government has to partner and insure them against legal liabilities. No vaccine is free of risk.

Business & Plantation Owners Know: No Workers No Wealth Creation

Listen to article

What would Plantation owners do without workers? It has never been a mystery that workers create wealth. But in order to give impetus to big business, they call themselves job creators. Technology and automation demand for educated labor has not changed needs for workers.

Big businesses hijacked the credit of small businesses and papa or mama businesses providing essential services. Small businesses usually start from their family before expanding to outside workers; if they can no longer cope with more demand for their goods and services.

However, salaries for workers affect profit. The more money you pay for workers' welfare, the less profit for business. One of the reasons papa and mama businesses pay family members before they are forced to hire outside workers. Since the wealthy see decent salary as cutting into profit, they attack unionized workers' demands for better working conditions. It is Unions that fought for higher salaries, profit sharing, working hours and that abolished child labor.

Profit, no matter how excessive, has never been a bad word, President Reagan reminded us when it was revealed that contractors sold a hammer that cost one dollar for hundred dollars to the Government. Infact, Boesky and Milken of Wall Street celebrated that Greed is Good. Wall Street cannot speculate without the production of Workers from plantations and factories that are essential in order to create wealth for the party of conservatives on the Right.

The rise of extremists on the Right and Left of the political spectrum is not by coincidence or accident. While the left became complacent after the election of liberals in Europe and America, the conservatives saw a threat to their hold on Economic Power. The extremists on the Right never left or felt any remorse for the ways their fathers exploited serfs and slaves.

They realize that the most efficient way of putting workers back into their place before Unions' power is through political means. The heated and sometimes deadly argument between the so-called Progressive and Moderate is nothing short of control and seizing the Political Economy. If you fight for the welfare of workers, you are labeled a liberal and those fighting for big businesses are now called conservative "Moderates".

Therefore, the easiest ways to riches ever, was the cheapest labor of the serfs and slaves’ services. Since most parts of the world have progressed beyond slave labor that created the greatest wealth on earth; threats of subjugation, force and violence are coming back to assert cheap labor by putting workers in "their place" like the "good old days".

This was recently demonstrated by the contradictory positions of businesses during COVID-19. When Governments mandated masks in enclosed public places, the fear that people would not patronize small and big businesses made owners oppose it. When they realized that vaccinations and masks assured prevention of infections, encouraged people to go out, work; businesses enforced masks to patronize them more, since folks felt safe.

Nevertheless, the choice between covid-19 mandates to get vaccinated or the risk of death is between those who value their lives and those who prefer their freedom. It has turned political between liberals and conservatives. The poor have little choice than to work so that they don't starve to death. They are forced to risk their lives to work, even for minimum wage. They are rewarded as "heroes". Even those that previously refused an increase in wages, pay more.

Desperate labor is also true of people from African and South American countries risking their lives and those of their children to cross into Europe and North America at any cost. African and South American migrants looking for any jobs, underemployed or not, fall into this pool of cheap labor to increase maximum profits for businesses and plantation owners risking lives.

Asian and African nurses, doctors and technicians made up a high disproportionate number of deaths at the height of covid-19 pandemic overseas. Many were educated professionals that understood the risk they faced during the raging pandemic at its worst. Even businesses have come to terms that people are not as desperate as the days when the desperate poor exposed themselves to poisons in the mines and plantations. Youths in poor developing countries would risk anything to get paid anywhere.

The main contention about immigration today between those for and against is not about legal and illegal migrants but about control and movement of labor in the plantations. Migrants are workers used to create wealth but their movement has to be controlled into needed areas and communities to create wealth. Otherwise, oversupply would decrease wages for those immigrants already in place.

Therefore, do not be surprised that businesses and union workers oppose migrants flooding their communities. By keeping migrants Illegal, it allows businesses to pay them starving wages as non-union members. The same businesses that pay them starving wages, would call authorities on them if they make demands on their low pay status on the job.

Taxes are used for infrastructure beyond the means of an individual or business, to build schools and hospitals for educated workers available to all, especially businesses. Production of Immunization from childhood diseases to old age, drugs and equipment usually subsidized by the Government are more accessible to the well informed and wealthy.

While we all realize the importance of Government Taxes for a peaceful and civilized community, for the salaries of teachers, police, firefighters and the Army, that are more useful to the powerful than the poor. The poor have to beg to "serve and protect" them. The wealthy’s problem is when the poor cheat on welfare by taking pennies more than they are entitled to or depend on welfare to take care of their kids at home.

Entitlement by mothers no matter how young their children, are labeled as Welfare Queens. But David Lewis of Canada told us that the real Corporate Bums are the big corporations and the wealthy that refuse to pay their fair share of taxes. They are sheltered by taxes paid by the middle class and others.

Most countries have come to accept the role of women immediately after childbirth giving them family paid leave. Covid-19 has demonstrated that people value their lives more than take the risk of exposure. Yet, you have unscrupulous businesses exploiting poor workers’ desperation at home and abroad.

Better than never. Those benefiting from the decadence have army of personal assistants and supporters paid to whitewash or counter legit problems.

Nigerian Youths are moving.

AFRICAN YOUTHS ARE WAKING UP

The Military in Sudan is back after Demonstrators drove out the former Dictator. They are not comfortable sharing Power with “bloody” civilians. They have forced these same Demonstrators out again but this time against Military takeover. South Sudan went through hell before they finally separated from North Sudan to become a new Nation. Yet, like the Somali, they fought within. Then, for oil and now against the Military that replaced the Dictator.

The Arab Spring, Black Lives Matter and others are taking the fight for their Freedom headon. In many countries in Europe, Asia and America, Youths have demonstrated the penchant for Freedom of views and ideas that can provide for the future that belongs to them instead of being wasted by old politicians struggling to stay alive in their old age. They do not want to retire for the fear of trials for their evil deeds.

There are many more silent majority of our Youths that can no longer sit idle. In Nigeria, they came out last year for #ENDSARS protests and some of them lost their lives to cowards that cannot protect their citizens from terrorists, bandits and kidnappers. Other Youths have been labeled with too many unpatriotic names for resting on the laurels of Nkrumah, Zik, Awo, Balewa and other builders of African countries, without achieving anything on their own.

The Anniversary of #ENDSARS demonstrated the Will of our Youths given a bad name so that they can hang them like a dog. The Demonstrators had shocked these Oppressors to their boots, yet they say these old soldiers never die. Despite the senior Military Commander at the Tribunal boosting he would do the same thing all over again, they are claiming nobody died during an ignoble mission to contain the Protesters at Lekki last year.

OPINION: NDI-IGBO: LOVED AND CHERISHED BY MOST AT HOME
By THEWILL_ -January 7, 2014

There is no other place Ndi-Igbo are loved or cherished more than in their own Country, from the South to North. Even just before secession of Biafra, which was one of the lowest points in Ndi-Igbo history, more people throughout their Country empathize with them. More youths in the schools were supporting Ojukwu until the war actually started. Unfortunately, many events did overshadow the story of bravery of men and women that took unusual risks on both sides.

These risks, in and outside Biafra enclave never gain enough traction or respect after the war. It has got to a point where all the stories we hear about are those that hate the Igbo and who the Igbo hate. These stories are packaged and re-told over and over again to create more animosity for future generation. There are so many out there, one would think Nigerians never loved one another throughout their history and only married casualties of war to express dominance

MOST WANTED PUBLIC ENEMY IN PLAIN SIGHT: WAI TO A TERRORIST

Public Enemy Number One wastes Africa's most populated and unrealized potential. Who would believe that men are so hungry for power that we are ready to sacrifice honor, dignity and reputation for a mirage of grandeur in our old age. If Buhari never came back, historians could have paved his name and that of Idiagbon in Gold as fearless and bold disciplinarians.

How did Buhari graduate from Operation War Against Indiscipline to become the most wanted Terrorist in plain sight? The only time Police show up is when innocent people are defending themselves against herdsmen invaders of their farms and properties. A country where state Governors are crying and powerless trying to stop marauders.

The lure of power in office, access to the Central Bank and aggrandizement are too much to resist. The same Buhari that waged War Against Indicipline, also known as Muslim religious fanatic, appease only his kitchen cabinet members and delivered Sharia implementation as cattle grazing. He jockeys abroad for treatments, celebrates foreign school graduations for his children and uses every opportunity he gets to enjoy infrastructure denied at home.

He resorts to the almajiri mentality to beg for money in the Western world, many of which have less educated people and are smaller than some of the states in Nigeria. Unfortunately, the loans come from those willing to aid and abet corruption for their families and pockets. As long as they turn those left in Africa, Caribbean and poor countries into workers in plantations, as producers of raw materials and consumers of their finished products.

It is beyond comprehension that in a country of over 200 million, we could not get competent individuals in various fields and specialization to educate them or man various departments. They know that when foreign banks give you loans, the World Bank or IMF front load it so that if you later defaulted, they must have made their money, cover the reduced value of the loan in future. If you used your land and infrastructure as collateral, you lost on all counts.

Before Independence, countries inside and outside Africa sought the expertise of Nigerians in different areas. Even in a country where a useful fool is elected President and privileged persons head departments, a strong informed system resists total progressive breakdown. A country like Nigeria should not have succumbed to chaos as if it is full of half illiterates. They will rather dominate with violence than allow competent people into specialized positions.

Out of greed and selfishness, we abandoned proficiency for the pursuit of goals that are shadows, not substantial objectives. Money is only good for its temporary value at a point in time if used to purchase those things that appreciate in value. No matter how much you accumulate, the moment you sell them for printed money, they are lost forever while the money you have depreciates into the printed papers they are.

We cannot say we were not warned after Buhari tasted foreign money as the Chairman of Petroleum Fund. We should have believed our reasonable doubts and suspicion when he equated the Army's attempts to tackle Boko Haram to the killing of Northerners. Boko Haram even appointed him as their negotiator. They are still claiming only the North can eliminate terrorists that have established themselves in Aso Rock.

This is a President that fights and eliminates Protesters faster than the main insecurity facing the country, the Terrorists. Yet, they hired fake paid counter protesters abroad against real Nigerians crying for the rule of law. This Government has confused Nigerians so much, we can no longer tell the difference between the Army, bandits, hired assassins, Fulani marauders, cowheads and natural diseases.

The Fulani clan claim a god-given right to rule Nigeria to dust while brains in other countries with less than half of the brains of Nigerians are innovating, inventing, fighting climate change, exploring space and the deep sea. These are scientists, Artists, Geneticists, historians, Culturists etc. that attended the same schools as Nigerians.

If Nigerians, on the most arable land in the world lack capacity and scientific knowledge to grow enough food to feed themselves or neighbors; we should not be surprised that most Nigerians eke out a living, to buy daily food while creating a few privileged drunken sailors spending ostentatiously. No leader with foresight or planning. They live from day to day praying for a new loan from abroad like manna from heaven.

It is like the story of the prodigal son that sold the properties of his father. By the time the lawyers, adjusters and managers collected their fees and commissions after the sale. If he changed his mind, he could not buy properties of the same worth. He would not be able to afford to buy back a shack. Compared to the Empire Building in New York, it was a prestigious property. The Japanese investors that acquired it were taken to the cleaners. When they recovered from their aggrandizement, they sold it back to Americans at a loss!

The Americans, Chinese and Japanese would not buy prestigious mud huts in Africa without raw uranium, diamond and gold mines that can be turned into valuable finished products. Money exchanged for the Empire Building and loans given to African countries cannot buy back valuable land and mines. Money in the hands of African leaders is no different from the prestigious Empire Building that lost value in the hands of Japanese then.

Nigeria has followed other African countries selling their land and infrastructure for odious loans they know can never be paid back. Loans depreciate but the land and infrastructure increase in value. While Africans hold depreciating loans, they exchange valuable land and infrastructure in return. It is the difference between buying a car that depreciates in value in exchange for a house that appreciates in value.

This is not rocket science. Those in the financial markets and managers of Treasury and Ministries and those below them know all these. Yet, they look for dull brains and cow heads to manage technical issues based on kickbacks. This is how an underdeveloped country like Nigeria was forced to pay back 13.5B dollars padded with fines and penalties above about 4B that was originally borrowed.

They ignored experienced accountants or financial experts with local and international experience for a Finance Minister without private sector experience. The smart and conscientious leaders that go against these exploiters, end up like Gadhafi in Libya, Mugabe's Zimbabwe or Boukman's Haiti, the poorest country in the Western hemisphere.

Former President Trump knocked former President George W. Bush on Monday for warning about domestic extremism during his speech marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, contending that the 43rd president "shouldn't be lecturing anybody."

"So interesting to watch former President Bush, who is responsible for getting us into the quicksand of the Middle East (and then not winning!), as he lectures us that terrorists on the 'right' are a bigger problem than those from foreign countries that hate America, and that are pouring into our Country right now," Trump said in a statement distributed by Save America PAC.

What 911 has done is garnish world overwhelming support for the United States even in the Muslim countries. Those against suicide bombing have increased, reducing to minority those for it, in these countries. But that minority influence is still powerful and dangerous to world peace. Indeed, the fight between extremists advocating Sharia, between Shiite and Sunni has intensified. The only common agreement within them, even in Afghanistan, is affinity to China that has suppressed the Muslim or any religion at home.

They demand arms, legs, land and economic subjugation in return. This is how Africa, the richest continent, harbors the poorest people in abject poverty.

The former President of the United States, a Republican conservative, discern similarities between domestic and foreign terrorism as "children of the same foul spirit". People of goodwill in the world had opined: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/09/11/bush-calls-americans-confront-domestic-and-foreign-terrorists/8299807002/ We need to step back and think about where the short term reward of power by the encouragement of violence is leading the world.

What 911 has done is garnish world overwhelming support for the United States even in the Muslim countries. Those against suicide bombing have increased, reducing to minority those for it, in these countries. But that minority influence is still powerful and dangerous to world peace. Indeed, the fight between extremists advocating Sharia, between Shiite and Sunni has intensified. The only common agreement within them, even in Afghanistan, is affinity to China that has suppressed the Muslim or any religion at home.

While the United States is tired of nation building because the amount of maintaining such countries, costs American lives and resources beyond the volition of a democratic elected government. It will take time and reflections to determine this because the British and the French claim to have lost interest in empire building, yet their fingers and influence are all over the former members of their Empire.

African oppressors, terrorists and looters have created the worst economic situation in the land that used to flow with wara and honey. We got here by glorification of personal greed from individual families reflected in our political circle that became the model for others to emulate. In the rush to accumulate wealth and money, our Youths took to different types of nefarious activities. They boast with printed American cash, that African Central Banks cannot print locally.

Africa Leads In Low COVID-19 Cases By Early Treatment Not Myth

African countries are certainly doing more than preventive medicine to ward off the predicted numbers of death from the devastating effects of Covid-19. It is not a fluke, luck, or by accident but by herbal and proactive Primary Care.

While it is true that Covid-19 could have produced more deaths in Africa than anywhere else, it does not bode well to think those grim predictions came as a result of bad faith. Indeed, most of them wish Africa well hoping the worst scenario would never happen. But plans must be put in place if it happened, not just wishful prayers of God forbid bad thing. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53998374

Many of us are at a loss or baffled at the celebrations of the poorest among us trying to understand why they celebrate criminals. There are many countries going through poverty, wars and fleeing their villages but only a few or a couple take out the drums and trumpets to make them a joyous occasion in the midst of abject poverty. Suffering and smiling was noted a long time ago by FELA but these celebrations today within many poor, are beyond comprehension.

There is this African proverb about kids spending their first fortune in a toy store. Most people do not become matured and seasoned until they have gone through trials and errors as they grow in life. Some achieve maturity early while the rest of us blow our first thousands or first million on vanities. Smarter children (not freeloaders) learn from their environment created and influenced by wiser adults around them.

Only Naive Folks Spend First Fortune On Fried Dough With Friends

Fraudsters are so bold these days, they invade constituted authorities like Police, Army and Politics. They announce themselves in a big way on social media as conspicuous spenders, ostentatious displays of vanities without added value to their lives. We cry and complain about bandits, terrorists, thugs and cyber crimes in low places. What do we do about crime fighters, constituted authorities in high places that kill subordinates for fear of exposing those at the top?
