Vector Tha Viper has rejected this developmental white supremacist stratification that often classifies Africa as an underdeveloped continent.

“Africa is not underdeveloped. Africa can not be understood and evaluated by alien ways,” said the rapper on his Twitter, adding, “Na why many Dey think say “Agbo” bad but them dey chop vegetable soup.”

He even drew comparisons between western medical terms and our local alternatives, adding that “Africa is so blessed that before the we knew of the periodic table, we don Dey do chemistry with food.”

Native soul na chemistry before colonialism. Fire na like Bunsen burner to heat the interactions of the “chemical compounds” of nature. Africa is so blessed that before the we knew of the periodic table, we don Dey do chemistry with food. https://t.co/KUjrdtuP88

And when a follower tried to dismissed our local medicine citing side effects, he reminded them of the dangerous chemicals found in west-invented food and products that continue to harm people.

Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
