Back in the days in Ankole, even when the farmers had less health knowledge they would use black jack to help them to heal fresh cuts as it fastest stopped bleeding.
This knowledge was robbed by capitalists who introduced Paraquat, a chemical, or weed killer that is highly toxic and used all the world to destroy the weed. Yet God created the black jack for this important purpose; it is not weed as the capitalists hoodwinked many.
Black jack, we are informed, cures COVID-19. Its medicinal elements help destroy the vengeance acts of coronavirus also known as COVID-19.
