Keeping everyone (including Africans) completely ignorant about Africa and the central role it plays in the economic and natural world is a core feature of Europeanised education, not a bug.

You're not supposed to know that the DRC is the most resource-rich country in the world, with an estimated $24 trillion sitting under its soil. You're not supposed to know that the rise of "western civilisation" from the 15th century on was entirely made possible by European contact with Africa, and that the resources and labour extracted from coastal West Africa from 1492 onwards are the entire reason why both American continents exist in their current form.

You're not supposed to know that both WW1 and WW2 were essentially wars fought over the right to African colonial domination and expansion, and that even the uranium that was used in "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from Shinkolobwe uranium mine in eastern DRC. You're not supposed to know that the reason the country of France exists in its current form is because tens of thousands of conscripted West African soldiers fought and won against the Nazis in Europe, and the French thereafter shipped them back to West Africa and massacred them at Camp Thiaroye in Senegal to avoid paying them their due wages.

You're not supposed to know that there was nothing cold about the so-called Cold War, because the vast majority of the hot theaters it was physically fought in were on the continent of Africa. (Zimbabwe, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Eritrea, Zambia etc). You're not supposed to know that the ongoing Ukraine war and the war in the Sahel are in fact the same conflict being fought by the same 2 sides, and that the reason France is desperately pushing funding and arms to Ukraine even as it falls into internal crisis is that Ukraine is acting as its proxy army in West Africa, as it tries to regain its lost colonial territories there, especially Niger where the cheap yellowcake uranium for its famously cheap nuclear energy used to come from before the 2023 revolution.

You're definitely not supposed to know that the entire global economy and system of trade as you know it is built on ruthless extraction from Africa and ensuring that Africa does not control anything it exports. You're not supposed to know that "Italian leather" doesn't come from Italy - it comes from Kano, Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that "Swiss chocolate" does not exist because cocoa does not grow anywhere in Switzerland or Europe - it comes from Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria. You're not supposed to know that Israel and the UAE control the global diamond and gold markets even though Israel has no diamond mine and the UAE has zero gold mines, because both resources are literally being stolen from the DRC and Sudan on an industrial basis.

You're basically not supposed to understand that the entire geopolitical world as you know it, rests entirely on extraction from Africa, poverty of Africans, and your own ignorance about where everything you use comes from.

Completely deliberate 500+ year-old feature, not accidental bug.

Dr. Samuel Achilefu, Ph.D., is a Nigerian-born biomedical engineer and scientist internationally recognised for his work in molecular imaging, cancer detection, fluorescence-guided surgery, nanotechnology and medical imaging.

He is currently a Professor and the inaugural Chair of Biomedical Engineering at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, where he also holds the Lyda Hill Distinguished University Chair in Biomedical Engineering and appointments in Radiology and the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Achilefu’s journey began in Nigeria, where he was born in the 1960s. In an interview with Washington University, he recalled how the Nigerian Civil War forced his family to leave northern Nigeria and return to their ancestral home in eastern Nigeria during his childhood.

He later travelled to France for his higher education, studying chemistry and materials science at the University of Nancy. He earned a Ph.D. in Molecular Physical and Materials Chemistry in 1991 before undertaking postdoctoral research at Oxford University in the United Kingdom from 1991 to 1993.

Interestingly, cancer imaging was not his original research focus. At Oxford, Achilefu worked on oxygen transport systems and hematology, including research into molecules that could potentially transport oxygen in the body.

In 1993, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, after joining Mallinckrodt Medical Inc. He later moved into academia and spent more than two decades at Washington University in St. Louis, where he became the Michel M. Ter-Pogossian Professor of Radiology and held additional professorships in biomedical engineering, medicine and biochemistry & molecular biophysics.

It was during his years at Washington University that his research increasingly focused on molecular imaging, cancer detection and image-guided treatment.

One of his most recognised innovations is a wearable near-infrared imaging system—often described as cancer-detecting goggles—that can help surgeons identify fluorescently labelled cancerous tissue during surgery.

The technology is designed to make cancerous tissue easier to distinguish from surrounding healthy tissue, potentially giving surgeons additional visual information while removing tumours.

His work demonstrates how chemistry, physics, engineering and medicine can come together to create technologies that address real medical problems.

From a childhood shaped by Nigeria’s civil war to becoming a leading biomedical engineer in the United States, Achilefu’s journey has taken him across continents—and into the development of technologies designed to change how cancer is detected and treated.

A NIGERIAN AGAIN!

Imagine a surgeon who can literally see cancer glowing inside a patient's body.

Nigerian born scientist Professor Samuel Achilefu made this possible by inventing infrared goggles for cancer surgery.

Surgeons often cannot tell if every cancer cell has been removed.

Achilefu's goggles use a safe dye that lights up cancer cells under infrared light so doctors can spot tumors the eye would miss.

This breakthrough has guided real breast cancer surgeries at Washington University in St Louis. Think about how many repeat surgeries this could spare cancer patients everywhere.

Achilefu now holds more than seventy United States patents and works at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Sometimes one simple idea can change how the world fights cancer.

I have been building things since my days at FUT Owerri, where we launched the university’s first campus FM radio station. In industry, I served as a global lead ASIC design engineer, helping to develop the inertial sensors used in the early versions of the iPhone. I also invented a wafer-level chip-scale packaging technology for inertial sensors. Till today, the US Government has continued to honour royalties for using my PhD research and the patent that came out of it. I am a Nigerian and I build things!

The South East should begin massive industrialisation.

The billions we pour into gigantic village mansions that are occupied for a few days at Christmas can also build factories, industries and businesses in those same villages and cities.

We are already building the talent pipeline through ISEE education interventions, Olympiads and rigorous skills development. In the next two years, we can produce a generation of young people capable of powering these industries.

But talent without industry will simply migrate.

We must build both.

Factories. Technology. Manufacturing. Agriculture. Research. Skilled labour. Capital.

Our villages should not just have beautiful mansions. They should have industries that employ thousands of people.

We need to wake up.

If we combine our capital, talent and entrepreneurial culture with deliberate industrialisation, the South East can become one of Africa’s major centres of production, innovation and human capital within the next decade.

The next South East renaissance must be built, not merely discussed.

Nigerian businessman Emmanuel Chukwu used his ships to get more than 1,000 Nigerians out during Liberia’s civil war.

He was a rich businessman living in Liberia when the war started in 1989.

As the fighting spread, he reportedly used his own vessels and his own money to pull more than 1,000 stranded Nigerians out of the country.

He also reportedly gave up his new Mercedes-Benz to help free captured Nigerians.

It cost him. His businesses were looted, millions in assets gone, and his younger brother was killed in the war.

He risked his money and his safety for other Nigerians, and still hardly anyone talks about him.
