The Perfect Lab Rats




The Blacks have always been the Perfect Lab Rats. We train today to be Practitioners and healthcare service providers in various roles and capacities as Medical Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacist, Med. Lab. Scientists, etc... we learn the history, development and evolution of medicine with human civilizations over time.


Last semester, we were taught ethics by Prof. Solomon Avidime (it was a great honor to be in his class), but then one keeps wondering the roles of the blacks in these experiments, discoveries and advancements and from what position they played the role.


Lets take a look at a few events that I consider very notable, the Blacks were not only enslaved, they graped our women and used them for advance gynaecological experiments.


They use our women's vagina to play like toys, they so much abused African women that they developed the sims speculum for this abuse, enslave African black women were tortured and their vagina fingered and abused by SIMS!!! Today he is regarded as the father of Obstretrics.


Mississippi Appendectomies In the mid-to-late 20th century, poor Black women in the American South routinely went to teaching hospitals for minor procedures and were given involuntary hysterectomies by white medical students practicing surgery.


The Relf Case (1973): In Montgomery, Alabama, federal funds were used by a clinic to sterilize Minnie Lee and Mary Alice Relf, two Black sisters aged 12 and 14. Their illiterate mother signed a document with an "X," believing she was consenting to routine contraceptive injections.


The Puerto Rico Trials: In the 1950s, early versions of the birth control pill (which had significantly higher hormone doses than today) were tested on low-income, darker-skinned Puerto Rican women. The women were not informed that the drug was experimental, nor were they properly told about dangerous potential side effects.


They didnt just grape black women, they ensure they were sterilised up to the 1990s.


The Tuskegee experiment, they used black Slaves to study the progression of syphilis for almost hundred years.


The list is long. And I'll recommend you research on the incidence of Pfizer's Trovan study on meningitis in Northern Nigeria. How the case went and the position which the Kano state government fought from, how the inhumane, hypocritical acts that led to loss of lives and disabilities in children. Look at how the case ended.

Smokers Are Liable To Die Young

  Smokers are liable to die young. But smokable substances are everywhere, easily accessible, and readily available. Óméwétuna'jo y'éni oñu lé atula (A chick is burning in the fire, yet it claims it undergoes rendering). RENDERING is a local procedure we use in extracting fats from animals or even insects like crickets , it is done by subjecting them to a reasonable amount of heat which causes the fats to drip off. The tragedy of this procedure is that the animal eventually dies.  Smokers are liable to die young. This warning is boldly written on cigarette packs, impossible to miss, deliberately frightening.  The images of a healthy and an unhealthy lung are openly displayed on the packs respectively. Yet, for many users, it has become just background noise. it is seen but not heard, read but not believed. Addiction has a strange way of dulling fear. It convinces the mind that danger is exaggerated, distant, or meant for others. Some smokers live long lives, and this r...

Community Health Practitioners And Public Health Promotion.

Image
  Who Doesn't Want a Healthier Tomorrow?  Public health promotion is like having a superpower that community health practitioners use to save the world from bad health outcomes. One of their top-secret strategies is health education, which is just a fancy way of saying they teach people how not to get sick. They're like health coaches, minus the whistle and the annoyingly peppy attitude.  Community health practitioners are also advocates for policies and programs that support population health, because they know that healthy people are happy people. They're like lobbyists, but instead of asking for money, they ask for things like tobacco control, healthier lifestyle and vaccination programs. And who doesn't love a good vaccination program?  Another thing community health practitioners do is mobilize communities to take charge of their own health. They're like community organizers, but instead of organizing protests, they organize health fairs and stuff. They help pe...

Fact Check II: Where Is the Safe Haven for the Believer?

On the 21st of February, 2026, several online news outlets, including Kemi Filani, Telegraph Nigeria, and Punch Newspaper reported a case involving a social media user, asakyGRN. In a video, a man claimed that his sister was asked to remove her hijab before being photographed at a JAMB centre. According to him: "I followed my sister to the JAMB centre to collect her form. She was told to remove her hijab before she could be captured. After the capturing, they asked her to sign an undertaking for wearing a hijab. And she signed it to follow the global standards of passport photography since her ears were not captured." In response, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), through its verified account, stated: "Thank you for your concern. However, it is important to state clearly that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, whether in the past or present, has never issued any directive prohibiting candidates from wearing the hijab." Ironically, in th...
