The World Is Nothing Without Africa — Actress Beverly Naya

Nollywood star Beverly Naya has hammered on the importance of Africa to the global community in the wake of the ban placed on some nations in the continent as a result of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.

Baring her mind via a series of tweets on Sunday, December 5, 2021, Naya faulted the line of thinking that Africa needs the western world. According to her, it is the other way round.

"Breaks my heart every time I hear Africans talking about how much our continent needs the western world when it is actually the other way round", she penned.

"The media has seriously done a number on a lot of African minds. Do your research, I beg you! The world is nothing without Africa.

"African nations need to form an alliance and ban all of these countries. To hell with the narrative they’ve pushed for centuries, this continent has EVERYTHING they need.

"Africa’s biggest problem is poor leadership which is the sole reason why the above may never happen."

Nigeria was recently added to the travel ban list of Canada and the United Kingdom after it was discovered that travellers who passed through the country were carriers of the Omicron variant.
