It seems that African opportunist have joined the western world in discriminating or labeling Africa as a continent that nothing good can come out of it. I came across with an article published by punch on the 11th of October 2015, which says that " The World Health Organisation has said one out of every six AfricaNS suffers from mental disorder. This statistics was announced on Saturday by WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, during a message she delivered on this year’s World Mental Health Day.
In a statement issued by WHO, Moeti stated that many Africans battling with mental ill-health often did not get the required attention and treatment. She said, “On 10 October 2015, we join the rest of the world in commemorating World Mental Health Day under the theme, ‘Dignity in mental health’.
“The theme draws attention to the crucial need to ensure that dignity is preserved in all aspects of mental health, ranging from care for patients to the attitudes of the general public. “In the African Region, it is estimated that one out of every six people suffers from some form of mental disorder. Unfortunately, in the course of treatment, some patients are subjected to undignified treatment, such as being chained to trees or beds, locked in a cage, left without food for many hours, deprived from family support and inadequate personal hygiene.”
According to Moeti, mental health patients deserve respect and compassion as they cope with their disease, as it is expected of those who suffer from any other disease. The WHO Africa region director noted further that some countries on the continent had implemented a range of measures to improve awareness, restore dignity, and access to mental health services at all levels of the health care system.
“This includes revision of their mental health legislation in order to protect the rights and dignity of persons affected by the condition. Despite these measures, the promotion of good mental health and understanding of its challenges, together with early detection, treatment, and dignity for the patients are still a concern in many countries of the Region,” Moeti added."
I want to use this opportunity to question/ ask the world health organization african region Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, to tell us how did she came up with this statistic. How many people did she conduct the test ? I would have agreed with her, had it been that she said that " the number of people with mental disorder in Africa is increasing" because of this and that reasona. Not one out of every six person in Africa is suffering from mental disorder. The population of Africa according to 2015 population pyramids of the word is ; one billion, one hundred and sixty six million, two hundred and Thirty nine thousand people ( 1.166.239.000). And Moanti came up with this?
Ooh come on you must be among the mentally disorder people because any body that has a healthy mentality will never come up with this statistic. So we have to conduct a test with Dr. Matshidiso Moeti to know if she is suffering from a mental disorder. Yes we all know that African are suffering from this and that but who Is to blame for it? We have to blame People like Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, who is playing her masters script. When u cannot ask your masters a simple question about your source before praising them because of your quest for cheap popularity or benefit. it is not a crime to be loyal to people but not over loyal.
It makes me angry when people open their mouth and say that the western world are the problem why African are living in poverty. I still ask this simple question and no body really want to answer it for me. " I want to know how is the western world the cause of our problem" ? if we did not buy their ideas.
Our Elders says " oke nu nama kwara oke nu naulo na ogiri nu na nguga" meaning it is the rate that is inside the house that told the rate that is outside the house that the local spicy is in the basket. Are we still talking about 18th century slavery on this 21 century. Why do we African always gives excuses? Can't we locate the problem, come together and fix our problems? And stop blaming others because of our inability to perform. The western world formed NATO to protect themselves. Formed IMF to lend people money, make them lazy and also make a hug profit. Which organization did Africa formed? Imagine a whole AAU headquarter was built by Chinese government as a gift what an insult.
They lend you money to make you lazy, so that you will continues depending on them and consuming their products. they created a false analysis to instigate crisis in your countries in order to sell their weapons and make you fight each other like they are arming ISIS to fight Syria government. They bribe you to take your resources, refined it and sold it back to you in a very expensive way. You see the financial support they offered you is also retuned back to them in a very smart ways with profits. They make their regions more beautiful in order to attract you, why can't you do the same and stop complaining.
You see the western world are only playing the " law of profit interest" I know some of you will be looking in your economic books or on the Internet for the meaning of " the law of profit interest" sorry I invented this law so you cannot find it. But if you ask me I will explain it to you.
You see the western world are not the cause of your problem rather you are the cause of your problems by buying their ideologies, by accepting their offers without asking questions, without thinking about the future consequences. Be aware they did not force you to accept their offers, rather you acted on that because of your corrupt apatite for wealth.
If there is an oil spill in the golf of Mexico, the oil companies will pay fine and cleaned it up. But if there is an oil spill in Africa, they will not pay nor clean it up because they have bribed the authorities. So can your authorities question them when they have sold their souls to the devil. So all of you Who contributed to African problems should shut up and close your dirty mouths. Have you ask yourself this question? How many leaders from the western world have ever stole money and dumped it in African banks? No one. But how many African leaders have done this? All of them.
I often tell people that there is an interest in anything you are doing and make sure that your own interest supersede any other interest. It is time for countries to review their interest and their relationships with other countries and make sure that their interest supersedes other countries interest in their region like Putin is making his interest known in Crimea and Syria to USA and other people. We have been on the list of dependency for the past century from the western world, you can see it is not working. Let us practice or move away from this dependency syndrome from the western world and see how it goes. You can suffer today but if you are patience, you can turn your sorrow to joy with the help of God and people will be celebrating you
