Guys, this is a long article which was on another website and want to share it here. It was written by Dr. Moshood Fayemiwo.
I will give the first few paragraphs and you can continue to read more in the link attached.

In the 1970s, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) around the world, especially in Third World countries, in order to protect children and infants from communicable diseases and reduce infant mortality. The EPI was introduced in 1974 in Nigeria and most of West Africa and children under 2 years were immunized against Tuberculosis -BCG; Poliomyelitis-OPV, Measles Rubella-MCV2 and MR Vaccines, while women between 15 and 45 years were similarly protected. In my hometown of Owo, Ondo State in Western Nigeria, the EPI was experimented and discovered to be a pilot study with 100% success. Even the WHO specifically singled out my hometown for praise and plaudits but that was how far the world organization could go. I have reminded the WHO several times why the EPI shouldn't be renamed EPI-OWO but the campaign hasn't reflected this historic reality. Few years ago in Florida, I had to lecture some Americans on the success story of the EPI in my hometown when they insisted on giving me shots for these diseases. Since there were no documents to that effect, I could not argue my case. You see, as late Chinua Achebe once said, if the animals do not write their own versions of hunting expeditions, the hunters would always be the heroes.

The other day, two homosexuals gave the world the dreaded HIV-AIDS but somehow, the Western media manipulated the world and "traced the origin of HIV-AIDS to Mother Africa." I engaged a homosexual in a heated argument in Maryland few years ago who told me to my face that homosexual lifestyle originated from Africa. Every history book written by white historians have twisted and manipulated historical events to demonize African people, because our people have refused to acknowledge the veritable power of history. The positive contribution of Africans to world civilization has been confined to the limbo of forgotten things, because African leaders prefer to steal and keep the loot abroad while Western leaders shape history and thus the future.

African leaders keep women in their harems; build palaces and chateaux they will never sleep in, keep fleet of cars they don't need and billions of dollars of pilfered money they will never spend in their lifetimes, and invest little or nothing on intellectual works which will outlive them and shape the future of generations. These shortsighted African leaders have forgotten that money, valuables and such ephemerals do not endure; what endures are printed works. We still read Shakespeare, David Lawrence, Keats, George Orwell (Eric Blair) and the rest great wordsmiths of our time and as long as the world endures, the great works of great writers will endure. Those who shape today and the future are not myopic African leaders who have no sense of history and the future. Even in the spiritual realm, the True Jehovah Lord God Almighty values the power of the print works so He commanded every time He speaks that His Words must be written and documented. In Exodus 17: 14, we read: "Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven." The Lord God Almighty instructed Jeremiah in Jeremiah 36: 2 "Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah and all the other nations from the time I began speaking to you in the reign of Josiah till now." Throughout the entire Bible, we see how history shaped our world, because the Sovereign Lord of the heavens and the earth is the One making history. Any person, group of people, community, town, city, nation or race that forgets its history is doomed, for the past may have gone, yet it is the contours through which today is understood and the future is fudged.

The Lord God said in Isaiah 43: 18:"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past" but He also told us to learn from the past in Romans 15: 4 "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope." This power of history to understand the present and shape the future is clearly evident in the current Ebola epidemic in West Africa. For starters, Ebola is a name of a town in the Democratic Republic of Congo nestled between two other rustic villages: Etoumbi and Cuvette in the Great Lakes Region. The Ebola virus was so nicknamed for Ebola Town because that was the town the outbreak was first reported. It occurred during the internecine civil war, ethnic clashes and the political instability of the Congo in the waning years of Dictator Mobutu Sesezeko. Food and edibles were scarce, millions were displaced, children were killed, many became orphans, women were constantly gang raped and starvation was widespread. Unable to fend for themselves, rural villagers headed into the thick jungle of the Congo, the second largest nation in Africa in land mass, bigger than Western Europe.
