The facts of the matter;
- The COVAX initiative aims to secure 90 million vaccine doses for Africa in the first half of 2021 and 600million doses by end of 2021. Another 670million will be secured by African Union for distribution in African countries by 2021 and 2022

- The first 320,000 of COVAX vaccine doses will go to countries with a combination of high infection and mortality rates, new cases and trends and ability to store the vaccine. Rwanda, SA, Cape Verde and Tunisia were selected for this first phase

- This should alert other African countries to make adequate preparations to receive doses from the second phase onwards

- Payments will depend on individual countries strength to pay but will be guaranteed by African Export-Import Bank up to $2bln

My view therefore is that Nigeria and other countries will still get the vaccines but not this first batch. Nigeria now needs to put all storage facilities in place and roll out vaccination programs to show readiness to receive doses probably in March when manufacturers would have produced more to meet demand.

Nigeria is also making efforts to secure vaccines from elsewhere but should now fastrack those plans and make it transparent. Notice that other African countries such as Ghana, Egypt, Morocco, DRC, Botswana, Ethiopia etc are also not beneficiaries of this first phase.

Let us support govt efforts, criticize their efforts constructively and keep urging them to be transparent, communicate plans and ensure readiness to distribute vaccines to Nigerians and save lives. There is no time to waste.

That is good.

This should make every Nigerian understand that over-reliance on Western nations is not the way to go. It's an opportunity to suppress you and make sure you don't grow. Our greedy leaders know this but their madness orchestrated by greed will never make them act.

As a Nigerian, stop every Nigerian from corruption. Make Nigeria a productive nation. Invent in every sector and see us triumph.

Unfortunately, there are too many useless and stupid Nigerian youth to understand this simple fact. They will be the first to complain and throw tantrums whilst they sit like fat pig waiting for Western nations to do everything for them.

English comprehension is your problem bro. The western world are saying you are so wretched and poor and cannot do anything for yourself. Even the vaccine they want to donate to you for free, you don't have electricity or facilities to store it and that you will waste it, youre talking nonsense about over-reliance. Even over-reliance we cannot even do successfully. Western world prevented you from manufacturing even ordinary malaria vaccine abi?

APC promised to do better, nobody is blaming anyone, But APC promised the whole country PDP was the black Sheep. But right now, APC who’s been in power for about 5years, are still struggling to identify Nigeria’s problem. Looking for every Avenue to blame past Administration, whereas by comparison, this is the Worst state the Country has ever been in. Forget Oil price and all that k1ds, talk. PDP was dealing with Millitancy right from OBJ era, it didn’t get us to this dilapidated state as a country.

A country where the elite's travel out to get vacinnes and you expect them to put resources together.

Nigeria, steady losing credibility in the comity of nations. Where is the storage facility for upto 1 million doses of vaccine located?

The Oxford-AstraZeneca brand of COVID-19 vaccine does not require special storage like Pfizer's.

Oh my! We have never had it this bad before. This government has really put Nigeria on the ground for trampling.
What are you saying? Because of vaccine? You can order you own on jumnia na... Is the only problem we have... Is this the only disgrace you have received as a Nigerian? Mtcheew.

Rebuke:
They know our leaders are selfish and useless.....they will abuse the vaccine with their usual animalistic behavior.
Our problems are already too many. Those devils sending you vaccine never meant well for you. They should send vaccines for malaria, HIV, Hepatitis B, Cancer etc and encourage us to invest in our health sector instead of raking money to steal in the name of useless vaccines. Centuries ago, they taught your greedy idiotic leaders this animalistic behavior.

They are not against the numbers... They taught them to cook those figures. They know if they send the vaccines it will be rejected by many, so they'll hold on a while.

But they won't give up, they will still dangle apples in front of our greedy leaders. They'll look for ways to kill our economy through lockdowns, economic sabotage etc then they will come with huge grants for only vaccinated Nigerians.

Good move by WHO.
Others should stop unnecessary and wasteful loans and grants too. Nigeria is a country of wasteful, corrupt and insensitive leaders
Re: COVAX Excludes Nigeria From Pfizer Vaccine List To Prevent Wastage by Pyhonist: 8:21am On Feb 06, 2021
W.H.O is just giving excuse. They know we are capable of storing the vaccine...

its just that they don't have the audacity to state categorically that Nigeria is corrupt.

They know the vaccine will be hoarded and sold to the highest bidder.

They know those actually in need of the vaccine will not get them without paying with thier entire fortune for it.
Re: COVAX Excludes Nigeria From Pfizer Vaccine List To Prevent Wastage by Jman06(m): 8:21am On Feb 06, 2021
Good decision. Let Nigeria put herself in order first before they can have access to the vaccines. If the vaccines are sent to Nigeria now, you can be sure that the first destination will be the open drugs markets where they'll be totally denatured by ignorant traders such that by the time they're being administered, nothing will be left as active vaccines.

You are so damn right. I think Nigeria included Niger Republic and Chad ratio to the quantity of Vaccine Nigeria is buying. You know very that most Northern Nigerians are also nationals of those shitholes and despicable failed nations and the Northern Nigeria seriously want Nigeria to be in the same league with their stupid relatives and family in those failed nations....anyway, Nigeria is as good as a failed nation.

Unfortunately, Northern Nigerians think with their brains and know when to reject longthroat. They will reject those vaccines.

Theyd rather seize your economy, your oil and your land and leave you oversabi Southerners to pursue unnecessary vaccines just like mainstream media has programmed you to.

There's nothing we can do well in this country.

To store vaccines in the right temperature na wahala.

The way everything is going in Nigeria, it's obvious that Nigeria is tired of Nigeria and wants to run away from itself.

I know exactly what I wrote in the last paragraph.
needless to elaborate my learned friend it already happened in delta state few years ago a man killed himself and still ran away..lol
