You do not have to pay a dime to get vaccinated. Simply log on to https://nphcda.vaccination.gov.ng/ and get registered.

Naija where are you?

On a serious note, I am yet to be vaccinated..


How do I go abt this without paying a dime?

One fears we may continue to see new variants for years if not decades.
On the cynical side, someone mentioned to me that Covid will not go away so long as there is high profile global money to be made in it.

Honestly, the Nigerian situation baffles me...South Africa had one of the worst lockdoen ever, but the thing killed more than even HIV in many years in SA


Israel had taken all steps ... the highest double (fully) vaccinated country .... wayyy over any "herd immunity" number ... but yet became the country with the highest "second wave" infections. If you can't figure out what's going on in SA how will you figure out Israel? The pandemic is a scam .... look at it from that perspective then everything will make sense.

South Africans are not worried about this bans, in fact they are happy.
South Africa has plans to stop import from overseas, maybe this ban will fast track this plan.
Again South Africans doesn’t travel, they believe in building their country.

When HIV came to Africa, SA was No.1
Now Covid-19 has made SA the headquarters in Africa.

I'm suspecting the gods are angry with them for their hate against fellow africans

stop being f0olish....all the people you mentioned in those european nations all have SA travel history...

The countries I mentioned have the new 'Omicron' Variant, just like South Africa. But unlike South Africa, they weren't banned or placed on travel restrictions list by other Western countries.

If you read the article, you would have figured this out instead of displaying your f0olishness.


it originated in SA....shut the hell up,if the investigate you now, youd be a tribalist

Mumu, use your brain.

Apart from South African, some other African countries have been banned - even though they don't have the new variant yet. From my checks, the countries are all Southern African countries, with many of them sharing borders with South Africa.

Imagine banning the whole of West Africa, because a new Variant was discovered in Nigeria and Benin Republic - while failing to ban European countries with the exact same variant.

If COVID had originated from Africa, Africa would have been banned from the Get go, and it wouldn't probably have become a Pandemic.

Meanwhile, African leaders were (and are still) reluctant in banning travels from other continents, allowing the virus (and it's numerous variants) easy entry into our continent.

Like I said earlier, If African leaders had banned western countries from onset (the way they would have done, had it originated from Africa), Africa would have probably been spared from the COVID issue.

But this new variant didn't originate from South Africa according to accounts

Yeah, SA is the one that announced its existence and is now being punished for it. This thing is already circulating around the world.

Thanks dear....Friends alerted me to this news earlier this week...

But some Nigerians still feel getting vaccinated is joining the Antichrist...

Anyway, maybe those complaining really love being in Nigeria and not travelling round to be more enlightened and to see the world.

To bad for South Africa.. Assuming they sat down and figure out how the trend of the virus was going and what to do to prevent transmission before opening their mouth wide to announce to the whole world that they got stuffs like that that kills instantly... How do you expect tourist to come if u have things that will kill them..

Every reasonable country will never announce a thing like that considering what it will do to the economy... China that brought the virus to the world, What they have been announcing to people that cares to listen was how their economy was booming and surpassing that of the US

Even Niger Republic might cancel their flight going to South Africa grin

And how much negative global press did China get for hiding covid info again?? And possible US sanctions from Trump.

Why do countries sign WHO treaties if they're not gonna comply afterwards by sharing info undecided

If SA didn't announce and got caught later u were gonna be the first to type how useless African leaders are, and "who did this to Africa?". angry

Does it mean new variant, new vaccine?

That's what they're still trying to figure out, whether it's resistant to current vaccines or whether boosters will do.

But SA doctors' association announced today that the symptoms seem mild.

Israel discovered it a day after SA announced and it was from someone with no links to SA.

They were trying to impress their oyinbo masters.

No, the earlier scientific discoveries are announced the quicker a problem can be solved. That's how sane countries behave. You wouldn't know this coz you're not sane - going around signing transparency treaties everywhere that u never adhere to. Shitholes.
