The Invasion of Brainless Creatures in Africa
In most universities and colleges in Africa, the NGOs are now preaching the ‘gospel of HIV/AIDS and STDs’ to the youths. They make it more comprehensive to the youths through drama, shows, and symposiums and other things that attract the youths. The youths are now getting aware of the danger behind the unsafe sex and used syringe/needles. HIV/AIDS is now a discussible topic among the educated youths. But moral decadence in the society is also fighting against the awareness.

Ngozi, a medical practitioner and a philanthropist organised a campaign in Isolo, a city in Nigeria. Her mission was to educate the less educated ones like the artisans, sex workers, labourers, and the factory workers. Her strategy was to create an association among the aforementioned groups. For example, The Association of Isolo Labourers is an organisation of the Labourers in Isolo. This organisation holds a meeting every Saturday, which is a day off for all labourers. They discuss topics that pertain to Health and they share ideas and educate themselves. They also print and share leaflets that contain all about HIV/AIDS with the help of Ngozi. Ngozi has really made a vital move by creating awareness among the less educated ones. The governments should try to do things like that as well. All Health Workers should also be informed to counsel the victims of HIV/AIDS that there is hope for an infected person.

It is a clear fact that the most suitable prevention for the further spread of the "invading brainless creatures in Africa" is sufficient and valuable information for the masses. The NGOs, Government and the people of Africa should sit tight and protect the future of Africa by educating one another through any available means.

Writer Profile
Damilare


Just like my name Damilare, depicts, I have been set free from all odds of life.
Most of my works are based on Africa. I love Africa so much. My love for this great land is not based its hypocritical admiration by some people. But based on the realization of her past mistakes and to make Her great in future.
I was born and grew up in a tough part of the world. My family is a free type where everyone chooses what he/she wants. This has made me liberal in my thoughts.
I get happy when I read works of Great Black people, especially their works on pan-Africanism.
My regret in life is that; I have not read the works of Marcus Garvey and Du Bois!
