British-Nigerian actor, John Boyega has reacted to an opinion by two French doctors, Jean-Paul Mira and Camille Locht that the new COVID-19 drug should be tested in Africa.
Mira and Locht, had during a live TV interview, which now has the highest trend on Twitter with the hashtag ‘Africans are not lab rats’, insisted that Africa is the best place to conduct such a test as they recalled how an experimental treatment for AIDS was carried out in Africa.
Reacting bitterly to the statement, John Boyega reiterated that Africa is not a lab rat.
He wrote, “Just horrible. Africa isn’t a testing lab you pieces of shit.”
Africa isn’t a testing lab you pieces of shit.

“This is racism at its highest level and a terrible statement against all the black-skinned.
“How was this even allowed to be broadcasted on French TV?”
