The same white Men made you have access to the internet you are using, if not them you would have probably be walking naked or using leaves to cover your private parts. The white made your kindred to stop the killing of twins, the white made everything after God. What is the black race contribution to humanity , if not corruption and greed. Stop blaming the white for everything

I am not blaming the white man, we should have evolved after colonization
Do you know that colonization did more evil than harm, if we have been left alone, we would have eventually developed at our own pace.
Technology advancement was not made possible by one nation sitting alone, it was through sharing of ideas and knowledge among nations.
Who told you we were walking naked when the white man came?
Before the white man came, my own people had their own way of life, they had their politics and they had iron (ogun). They were not living inside caves.
Who taught you this trash?
We had music of different genres, we had musical instruments.
We had clothes, aso oke is as early as the 15th century.
We had weapons
We had trade

The killing of twins was not across Africa but just a small group of people. Yorubas which I am part of saw twins as a gift from Eledumare. And who told you that if the white had not come, the people killing twins won’t have evolved and stopped on their own.

Were the whites not burning people at the stake for epilepsy when Africans were trying to use herbs to cure theirs?

Where the whites not burning people accusing them of witchcraft and sorcery

Were the whites not practicing slavery and inhuman practices. But they got evolved and stopped

Who taught you this nonsense ??

during covid there were reports that Nigeria couldn't receive much due to lack of storage facility, I just thought the same problem could be responsible for this.

That was then.

Simply because COVID storage facility is different from the regular storage facility already available in Nigeria.

The storage facility requirements of this malaria vaccine are the regular requirements of the existing ones we already have in Nigeria such as polio, meanigitis and other regular vaccines in Nigeria
COVID storage facility is a bit higher than these regular ones, though we have improved our facility capacity with COVID 19 too

Nigeria should be leading the research on malaria, not begging for donations.
As a matter of fact, we should not accept vaccines from questionable sources.

PublicHealthNig:
GAVI, the global vaccine alliance, announced a significant step in the fight against malaria in Africa. Over the next two years, a total of 18 million doses of the malaria vaccine, known as RTS,S, will be delivered to 12 countries on the continent. This move aims to expand access to life-saving shots, as the vaccine has shown promise in reducing the devastating impact of malaria.

Malaria remains one of Africa's deadliest diseases, taking the lives of nearly half a million children under the age of five each year. Shockingly, in 2021, the continent accounted for approximately 95% of all global malaria cases and an overwhelming 96% of related deaths, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Nigeria bears a significant burden of malaria, with approximately 55 million cases and 90,000 malaria-related deaths reported each year. This relentless disease has far-reaching consequences, not only on public health but also on the country's economy. In 2022, the economic impact of malaria on Nigeria was estimated at $1.6 billion (N687 billion), a staggering figure that reflects the toll it takes on productivity, healthcare costs, and overall well-being. Alarming projections suggest that this economic burden may rise even further, reaching about $2.8 billion (N2 trillion) by the year 2030 if adequate measures are not taken to combat the spread of malaria. Addressing this pressing issue becomes crucial not only for the health and welfare of the Nigerian population but also for the sustained growth and development of the nation's economy. However, the country is not listed among those set to receive the vaccines. 

The WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, emphasized the demand for the RTS,S vaccine, with at least 28 African countries expressing interest in receiving it. Additionally, there is hope for a second malaria vaccine currently under review for pre-qualification, which could provide an additional supply in the near future.

Since 2019, Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi have been part of a pilot program funded by GAVI, UNICEF, and the WHO, where they have been administering the RTS,S vaccine. As a result of this initiative, more than 1.7 million children in these countries have already received the vaccine, saving countless lives.

Now, the focus is on expanding the vaccination efforts to include nine new countries in Africa. These countries, namely Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Niger, Sierra Leone, and Uganda, are set to receive the RTS,S vaccine in the coming months.

The first shipments of the vaccine are expected to reach the 12 African countries during the last quarter of 2023, enabling them to begin rolling out the vaccination programs early next year. This timely action is a critical milestone in the ongoing battle against malaria, providing hope for better health outcomes and a brighter future for millions of people on the continent.

The efforts to combat malaria in Africa are a collaborative endeavor, with the vaccine itself developed by the British drugmaker GSK. With the support of international organizations like GAVI, UNICEF, and the WHO, this endeavor is an essential step towards alleviating the burden of malaria and protecting the most vulnerable populations, especially young children, from this deadly disease.

Mentality of African leaders is so bad everytime they want to receive ,"but God loves a cheerful giver", if it is aid/grants,it will be vaccines or harmful policies from the west,the people producing the vaccines should use on their people first before bringing to Africa.We want them to repatriate stolen funds back to the continent not vaccines they have not tested on their people.

Why is Nigeria always missing

We shouldn't just be overeacting based on a reportage. Nigeria may be missing for a reason or two.

Perhaps, countries that were given the vaccine requested for it. Nigeria might also be studying the vaccine before they make request.

We shouldn't just accept things because oyinbo people are the producers especially in the case of medicine. COVID 19 vaccine is still a controversy people are battling with.

Let those African countries use the vaccine first and we see how it goes IMO.

Nigeria has money to fund it! We don't need any assistance as a country. If one man can steal billions and the CBN governor got-away with trillions while the country is saying they've saved up to N460Billion from subsidy removal tells you that we have money in the country.

We don't need the vaccine but good leadership.
