3月18日凌晨，尼日利亚资深媒体人、非洲与中国媒体中心主任伊肯内•埃梅乌（IKENNA EMEWU）在其中心网站“africachinapresscentre.org”及“cicmc.com.cn”（中国国际传播媒介中心）网站双语资讯频道发表题为《 The good from COVID-19: A global citizen emerges – Jack Ma》（COVID-19的“坏事变好事”：一个全球公民的诞生-马云）的英文文章。
文章说，每一个不幸都有它好的一面，只要我们头脑清醒地想清楚。
当COVID-19在全世界引起恐慌时，它使一个人对人性、对爱和对善的思考更深。
伊肯内•埃梅乌在文中表示，对于他来说，马云是无可争议的全球年度人物。
伊肯内•埃梅乌认为，今年以来，继COVID-19事件和相关新闻之后，最普遍的事件是一个人的慈善活动，他就是全球第一大电子营销公司阿里巴巴（Alibaba）的亿万富翁联合创始人马云（Jack Ma Yun）。
马云利用这次冠状病毒爆发，向全人类施舍，以彰显自己的权威。
马云向尽可能多的国家捐赠了生命援助，甚至向美国也捐赠了生命援助，尽管美国政府似乎扮演了对抗马云的国家——中国的角色。伊肯内•埃梅乌认为这是了不起的。
文章说，一开始，马云斥资1亿元人民币（合1450万美元）帮助研发冠状病毒疫苗。
他捐赠的资金的40%将由从事冠状病毒根除项目的两个中国团体——中国科学院和中国工程院共同承担，其余60%将捐给世界各地的科学机构。
马云还向澳大利亚彼得多尔蒂感染与免疫研究所捐赠了215万美元用于疫苗研发。
亿万富翁资助的两个基金会在COVID-19的威胁下采购并运送了180万个口罩和100000个冠状病毒检测试剂盒给意大利、西班牙和其他欧洲国家。
当危机在中国肆虐时，马云的基金会拨出1.44亿美元购买医疗物资给武汉疫区。
文章说，马云也向韩国和日本捐款。
对美国这个拥有许多比他富有的公民的国家来说，他的仁慈没有歧视，因为他承诺运送100万个口罩和50万个冠状病毒测试包，以帮助美国控制这一流行病。
马云表示，他捐款是为了“帮助增强美国抗击全球冠状病毒爆发的能力”
马云还表示，为了掩盖这一点，即使是在非洲爆发的疫情强度较小的情况下，世界也无法承受在非洲爆发的Covid-19流行病所带来的不可想象的后果。
马云在埃塞俄比亚宣布向非洲所有54个国家捐款，希望非洲不要发生这种不可想象的事情。
每个国家从他提供的110万个测试包中获得2万多个测试包；从5.4万个测试包中获得1000个医务人员测试包；从600万个口罩中获得10万多个口罩。
这些数字表明，马云利用这次大流行的机会，以一种非常奇特的方式接触了大约70个国家和世界上多达一半的人口，以确保他们在大流行病中康复和生存。
文章说，所有这些的货币价值是如此之高，但实际价值更是无法量化的。因为礼物的实际价值不在于它的货币价值，而在于产生它的仁慈的价值。
伊肯内•埃梅乌在文章最后表示：“马云，你无疑迷住了整个世界！你已经成为世界公民，成为人类的财富，成为个人财富如何造福人类的光辉榜样。你是全球公民，在最重要的时候夺冠！历史会把你作为一个在拯救世界方面发挥了巨大作用的人铭刻在它的书页上！”
英文原文：
The good from COVID-19: A global citizen emerges – Jack Ma
By IKENNA EMEWU
Every mishap has its good side, if only we think through it with a clear mind.
As the COVID-19 sends jitters through the entire world, it makes one man think deeper about humanity, about love and about kindness.
To me he is the indisputable global man of the year.
I think the most widespread incident this year so far after the COVID-19 and the news about it is the charity of one person, Jack Ma Yun, the billionaire co-founder of Alibaba, the behemoth world’s number one e-marketing company.
Jack Ma has used the coronavirus outbreak to stamp his authority in charity to all mankind.
He has donated life aids to as many countries as you can imagine and his donation even to the US whose government seems to have taken a role of antagonising China, Ma’s country, was remarkable.
For a start, Ma shelled out an enormous 100m Chinese Yuan or $14.5m to help develop vaccine against coronavirus in late January.
Forty percent of the fund he donated was to be shared by two Chinese groups working on the coronavirus eradication project – Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, while the rest 60% would go to science institutions all over the world.
Ma also donated $2.15m to Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, Australia for vaccines development.
Two foundations funded by the billionaire procured and shipped 1.8m face masks and 100,000 coronavirus test kits to each of Italy, Spain and other European nations under the threat of COVID-19.
When the crisis raged in China, his foundations set aside $144m for procurement of medical supplies to the Wuhan epicenter.
Ma the large hearted moneybag has also donated to South Korea and Japan
To the United States, a country with many citizens who are richer than him, his kindness did not discriminate as he pledged shipping 1,000,000 face masks and 500,000 coronavirus test kits to help the country contain the pandemic.
He said he made the donation “to help bolster America’s capacity to fight the global coronavirus outbreak.”
To cap it up, even with the lesser intensity of the outbreak in Africa, Ma said: “The world cannot afford the unthinkable consequences of a Covid-19 pandemic in Africa.”
And, hold your peace, for this unthinkable not to happen in Africa, he announced in Ethiopia a donation to all the 54 countries of Africa.
Each of the countries gets a little more than 20,000 test kits from a total of 1.1m test kits he provided; 1,000 medical workers kits from the total of 54,000; and more than 100,000 face masks from the total of 6 million masks.
The figures speak for themselves that Jack Ma has used the opportunity of this pandemic to touch in a very peculiar way about 70 countries and up to half the population of the world to make sure they live and survive the pandemic.
The monetary value of all these is so much, but the real value is unquantifiable.
The actual value of a gift is not how much its worth in monetary figures, but the value of the kindness that gave rise to it.
Jack Ma, you have no doubt captivated the world.
You have become the citizen of the world, an asset to humanity and shining example of how best an individual’s wealth can benefit mankind.
You are the global citizen and you snatched the crown when it mattered most.
History would etch you in its pages as one that played a great role to rescue the world.
