BREAKING MEDICAL NEWS!
Researchers in Australia have reportedly discovered a cure for HIV/AIDS — a breakthrough that could change millions of lives globally!

But here's the twist:
Something similar was discovered years ago in Africa, yet it was ignored... Why?
Was it the location? The politics? The prejudice?
Now that it's gaining recognition from the West, the world is finally ready to listen.

It's time we start valuing African innovations just as loudly as we celebrate others.
Talent has no continent.
Let’s give credit where it’s due — and respect the minds behind the cure, no matter where they come from.

Share this if you believe every discovery deserves a global stage — not just when it comes from the 'right' place.
#HIVCure #MedicalBreakthrough #AfricaMatters #GlobalHealth #ScienceForAll #EndTheBias

“All over Africa, you will find a mine owned by foreigners, Europeans, Americans, Canadians, Chinese & Australians. They mine our resources in the morning and give us loans in the night. It’s like someone steals your cow, slaughters it and donates intestines to you. And then you welcome them as donors & investors for giving you intestines from your own cow" ~ Ibrahim Traore

A man and his wife never føught for 25 years of their marriage.

A friend asked him how he had managed to make it possible.

He narrated:
"We went for our Høneymoon in Australia 25 years ago
and while riding on a horse, My wife's horse jumped and my wife fell down. She got up, patted the horse's back and said
"This is your first time"

After a while it happened again.
#Laughingboi

She patted the horse again and said: "This is your second time"

The horse did it again the 3rd time, she brought out a gūn and shøt the horse dēad.

I was so shocked and shouted at her. . . . . . . ."Are you crāzy! What's wrong with you? Why did you kīll the horse?"

She smiled at me and said "This is your first time"
