“The election is going to be a battle between light and darkness. It is a battle between poverty and desire to live a prosperous life. We have seen what happened in the last three years and we know that Nigerians desire a change for the better.”

4 Unethical Medical Experiments That Used Africans As Guinea Pigs

4 Unethical Medical Experiments That Used Africans As Guinea Pigs
BY ANELE · PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 15, 2018 · UPDATED NOVEMBER 15, 2018



African countries have been sites for clinical trials by large pharmaceutical companies, raising human rights concerns. Incidents of unethical experimentation, clinical trials lacking properly, informed consent, and forced medical procedures have been claimed and prosecuted.



African countries have been sites for clinical trials by large pharmaceutical companies, raising human rights concerns. Incidents of unethical experimentation, clinical trials lacking properly, informed consent, and forced medical procedures have been claimed and prosecuted.

Currently, the number of pharmaceutcal companies’ sponsored clinical trials Africa hosts is more than you can find anywhere else…

Why Is Africa So Popular?

The below are reasons why pharmaceutical companies rush to Africa for clinical trials…


Fast-growing, treatment-naive population
Largely illiterate and uneducated public.
Large pool of diseases within population
Lower costs for conducting trials
No official natonal law on clinical trials
The normal practice is, once outlawed in the U.S., medical researchers setup shops in Africa and begin experimenting on thousands of human research subjects without their consent or without full disclosure. Believing they were receiving routine medical care, some African are now used to test medication for HIV, malaria, meningitis and any disease, often resulting in infection, and/or even death.

4 Unethical Medical Experiments That Used Africans As Guinea Pigs

1. Meningitis Testing In Nigeria: 1990s

In 1996 when the northern state of Kano was hit by Africa’s worst ever meningitis epidemic., Pfizer (the world’s biggest research-based pharmaceutical company) took advantage of the situation to test the antibiotic Trovan (a drug that was not approved in the US) and another drug called ceftriaxone on 200 children.

The tests resulted in the deaths of 11 children and varying degrees of injuries and other disorders including deafness, muteness, paralysis, brain damage, loss of sight and slurred speech.

An investigation by experts later concluded that Pfizer had administered the drug as part of an illegal clinical trial without authorization from the Nigerian government or consent from the children’s parents. This led to a lawsuit from the Nigerian government over informed consent.

2. HIV/AIDS Testing In Africa

In 1994, the U.S. government conducted clinical trials in Africa, through projects funded by Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World health organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The trials included testing of over 17,000 women for a medication that prevents mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS.



Although the trials were about preventing mother-to-child transmission of AIDs, the researchers refused to provide all pregnant women with a drug that could actually protect their infants from acquiring the AIDS virus during childbirth (even though a proven life-saving regimen already existed then).. Apparently it was far too expensive and cumbersome for the developing world. So what they were actually looking for was a simpler, cheaper, but still effective alternative for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS.

During the course of the trials, these women received drugs that had no effect in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS, thereby making transmission likely. As a result, an estimated 1000 babies contracted HIV/AIDS.

The countries these trials took place include Ivory Coast, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Malawi, and Zimbabwe. In all, more than 12,000 women were involved in the U.S.-funded studies.

3. Forced Contraception In Rhodesia (Now Zimbabwe): 1970s

During the 1970’s, In a bid to checkmate the rising population of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), a drug known as Depo-Provera was brought into country.
Once approved, the drug was used as a population control measure.

Side effects of the drug included but not limited to weight gain, irregular or heavy menstrual periods, possible higher risk of breast cancer in women younger than 35, anemia, HIV risk, and osteoporosis, a condition in which bones becomes weak.

According to reports, the old white Government gave incentives to whites to immigrate, while practicing forced sterilization of some black women not minding the risk. .



Although this drug was approved for use in Zimbabwe, it was never approved for contraceptive use in the United States or the United Kingdom until later (under severe restrictions with full informed consent/warnings to protect women).

The drug was later banned in Zimbabwe in 1981 but the women who took the drug still bear the tale to this day.

4. Navrongo Experiment In Ghana

In a seminal family planning experiment, discussed in the Rebecca Project Human Rights’ 2011 report: The Outsourcing of Tuskegee Part II: Nonconsensual Research in Africa, it was revealed that researchers experimented with the birth control drug Depo-Provera – as a test run for a broader population control campaign – on approximately 9,000 impoverished women in Navrongo, Ghana.

The Navrongo Experiment occurred in Navrongo, Ghana from 1999-2006, and was Funded by: USAID / Population Council and the Rockefeller Foundation.



The women in Navrongo were told they were being provided with routine healthcare, while data was specifically collected and analyzed for the research experiment.

The New Contraceptive in Town



Speaking of contraceptives, the drug Depo-provera has been repackaged (with developing countries in mind) and is now known as Sayana press

To ensure that the new drug is introduced in every developing country, it is been subsidized by several groups, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, as well as the United States Agency for International Development,

As i type this, Sayana Press has already been approved by regulatory authorities in more than 40 countries across the European Union and in a number of focus countries. These countries include, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Uganda.



According to reports, Pfizer was able to receive approval directly from African governments by concealing fatal side-effects in FDA warning.

So to those of you who are taking it or who knows someone who takes it. I think you might want to read the side effect below .

Side Effects
One of the major side effect of Sayana Press is osteoporosis, a condition in which bones becomes weak. Osteoporosis currently has no known cure bit there is no mention of this on the site they launched for Africans to get info about the drug.

Although Sayana Press is approved for use in Africa it is not approved or available for use in the United States where it is manufactured.

The new drug which can be self-administered at home, away from the supervision of a health care professional, hope’s to increase the number of women who use injectable contraceptives and, of course, achieve their real goal, which is to decrease the birth rate by any means necessary.

I dont know if fayose has any sinister aim for doing this.
But i think all politcal office holders should always make themselves available to anti graft agencies and other audit bodies..
The transition commitee is not just enough.
There should be a crystal clear mark of how tax psyers m9bey was spent.

People like apkabio should not hide ubder continuity of thier successor who will try to balance books and save their predecessors.

Same thing will happeb in osun...
The billions that aregbe swallowed will be hidden as soon as oyetola becomes a gov.

There should be free days where the chief justice allong with audit and anti graft agencies try to know whats up with state finances before the incoming govt start work...

That can never happen in nigeria. These thieves will never ascent to that. Because Nigerian politicians are gullible, just thinking about themselves and their families.
