Africa not a testing laboratory, Nigerian cleric warns

Following some unverified news flying around that some medical experts are considering a move of coming to Africa to trial some vaccines on covid-19, a Nigerian cleric, Prophet I. O. Samuel has kicked against the move, saying on no account should Africa continent or any African be made a testing laboratory for any vaccine.
In his message issued out on Saturday, Prophet Samuel who is the founder of Shiloh World Chapel, Abuja charges all Africans to buckle up and face every challenges confronting the continent headlong, stating that the idea of every African can transform the continent.
He calls on all Africans to resist any attempt to experiment any vaccine on any African, insisting that the continent is not a testing laboratory.
“Africans, we must take a stand and say no to any form of testing wanting to be implemented in our beloved continent towards our beloved people. We are not a laboratory”, Prophet Samuel said.

Prophet Samuel also stated that Africa already has what it takes to be great as the continent is blessed with various natural resources, stressing that Africa has never needed the world but the world has always needed Africa.
