Dr. Abalaka And The Cure For HIV/AIDS
Dear Editor,
For quite sometime now I have been following the story surrounding Dr. Abalaka and his insistence regarding the HIV/Aids curative medicines to which he lay claims to have discovered.
I have always been leery of fly by night healers who professed to have the know it all. But on the other hand, the instincts that drives me to make these very objective and relevant observations now drives me to wonder if after all this honorable Doctor has not discovered the cure which has baffled western science for the past twenty years or so.
It is so sad that in a country like Nigeria, the best and brightest are never given the chance to thrive. We are so much against giving credit to home grown innovators.
This attitude has seen our best brains outside the country, in the laboratories of the developed nations churning out one innovation after the other.
We are so myopic and narrow minded that when we see the right thing, we don't know what to make of it.
Dr. Abalaka deserves the support of Nigerians. From what I have seen and read of late, it seems that there are people who don't want to see Dr. Abalaka's vaccines come to the market.
He should be given the necessary tools by the government to cater to the needs of the afflicted. By depending on the so called cocktail drugs alone, maybe we won't get far.
We have to see this claim of Dr. Abalaka to the end. We might have the cure to this disease in Dr. Abalaka. Only time will tell.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Chris Itonyo
