We need to Stop teaching the coming generation about Jesus and Mohammed and start telling them about African heroes like Patrice Lumumba who fought and died for African liberation.

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

In 1879, Ugandan healers were performing cesarean sections with a survival rate that stunned European doctors—while much of the "civilized" world still saw the procedure as a death sentence.

British explorer Robert Felkin documented the operation in detail. The surgeon used banana wine as an antiseptic, herbal anesthetics to manage pain, and cauterization with a hot iron to control bleeding. The mother survived. The baby survived. The technique worked.

This wasn't primitive luck. It was sophisticated medical knowledge passed down through generations—refined, systematic, life-saving.

Yet the dominant narrative tells us modern medicine arrived in Africa with colonizers and that before European intervention, the continent had no science, no innovation, no expertise.

But here's the contradiction: if African medical practices were so "backward," why were European observers documenting them with awe? Why were these techniques—rooted in empirical observation and botanical knowledge—producing outcomes that Europe itself struggled to achieve until the late 19th century?

The Buganda Kingdom had what the British Empire didn't: working cesarean sections that saved lives.

So what else were we doing that got erased, ignored, or rebranded as "discovered" by someone else?

CNN is currently running 2 promos featuring Uganda's first wildlife vet. I interviewed Dr Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka in London shortly after we profiled her work at Bwindi Forest.

We cover brutality against Bobi Wine, but also this. Why doesn't it get the same attention?
