As we ponder celebrating Africa Day on Monday, from an African bifocal perspective, we need to think about a day when the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is a nightmare of yesterday.
We would gladly say it was the best of times because we were given a break from the capitalist rat race to spend quality time with our families and confidantes, an experience through which we discovered more about ourselves and the tapestry of our close relationships. We would remember that as different countries competed to find a vaccine, rumours came flying that the embattled Italians broke the World Health Organisation’s protocols by conducting their autopsy-based research and concluding that the pandemic was caused, as contended by some before, by a bacterium that is amplified by 5G electromagnetic radiation.
We saw the world melting to the megalomania of US President Donald Trump and his foolish approach to combating the virus and not prosecuting him for the genocide against his subjects, some of whom are of African descent. In line with the fourth industrial revolution, we began to replace our mass meetings with online ones.
We would equally suggest that it was the spring of hope because it was a purifying moment for alcoholics and smokers. After all, their poisons were no longer in open and legal supply everywhere.In the process, we were reminded that what kills people in cigarettes is the tar and not the nicotine, and thus started thinking of mechanisms of manufacturing African cigarettes that are free of this toxic tar as a healthier vice for those who refuse to quit this bad habit.
We had mineral and many other natural African endowments to tap into as long as we knew what to do with them to fortify our independent wealth without begging for anything from the West or the East.
