This initiative is really nice from Niyel. I think you people should make more noise on social media because a lot of Nigerians do not believe in vaccines. Look at the Covid-19 vaccines to for example, some Nigerians see it as a deadly thing. Thanks Nigel for this.

According to @ikogbonna, who describes how pneumonia nearly took his life, the sickness is one of the most fatal vaccine-preventable illnesses that has killed many people.

The World Health Organization and UNICEF warn that the rising number of unvaccinated children poses a serious threat since millions would be left vulnerable to lethal illnesses like measles, polio, tuberculosis, and pneumonia.

With a strong desire to save lives and support social causes, @ikogbonna joins NIYEL as a spokesperson to educate the public about the advantages of vaccinations against diseases like pneumonia.


Niyel was founded in 2008, it is an international advocacy and campaigning firm based in Dakar, Senegal. It works to promote public policies that are conducive to the development of all people, and to influence practices to ensure that as citizens, individuals, and communities, we understand the social, political, and cultural issues that affect our daily lives. #PuHI


LAGOS, Nigeria, 12 November 2022 - Today, popular Nollywood actress, Ini Edo and actor, IK Ogbonna were unveiled as Niyel Immunization Champions. In this role, they will be committed to a partnership with Niyel to reorient the public on the importance of vaccines and immunization. #PuHI


The event coincided with the global celebration of World Pneumonia Day; a day set aside to raise awareness on the deadly nature of pneumonia and to highlight global action to protect against pneumonia, including the use of pneumococcal vaccines. #PuHI


Speaking on why they decided to partner with Niyel on this social cause, Ini Edo highlighted the increasing number of unvaccinated children in Nigeria and Africa which worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic in part due to unnecessary fear and unfounded rumours. #PuHI

Ini Edo said that this led to resurgence of some vaccine-preventable diseases, increased the number of children falling ill from these diseases and more associated deaths. #PuHI #ChangingCreators

Ini Edo Said:
The increasing number of unvaccinated children, leading to increased cases of vaccine-preventable diseases and deaths, is worrisome. As celebrities, we must use our popularity to save lives by educating our audience on the importance of vaccines and correcting misconceptions around immunization. My colleague IK and I have agreed to become Niyel Immunization Champions because it is a worthy cause and aligns with our passion for doing good.” #PuHI #Changing Creators


IK Ogbonna stated that as Immunization Champions, they will leverage on their large followship online to share key messages, have weekly LIVE online discussion sessions on vaccines and immunization, burst vaccines myths and conduct online quizzes in which prizes will be won. #PuHI #ChangingCreators

Let's follow @NiyelCampaign, Ini Edo and IK Ogbonna on all social media platforms as they will be educating us on the importance of Immunization and vaccines.

#ThanksNiyel, #PuHI, #ChangingCreators.

Osinbajo, man with the people.

Osinbajo remains the best candidate in APC.

Kai, Nigerians too fall for cheap things. A lot of Governors had done this. it might be staged too.

Tinubu is dead on arrival. His supporters are like him too.

Osinbajo reamains the best candidate in APC.

This is a man that APC wants to sell to Nigerians.
They must be ready to lose the Presidential Election.

Clearly, this rubbish was written by Tinubu's disciples. Osinbajo is not in charge of the Economy. He did that between 2015-2019, and he did extremely well before Tinubu and Co. Went and told Buhari to take away the office from him. Tinubu said Osinbajo is becomimg more popular and gaining more love through the social investment programs. Osinbajo singlehandedly handled the Trader Moni and was travelling from state to state to make sure the process was fine. Doing this, Osinbajo got natural love from Nigerians.

Then, how did Osinbajo betray Tinubu?

Tinubu never gave Osinbajo his first appointment. Osinbajo got his first National appointment at the age of 32 as Special Adviser to the then Attorney General of Nigeria.

Obasanjo gave Buhari his first appointment as Minister of Petroleum and MD NNPC then. Buhari also contester with OBJ in the 2003 Presidential election. Where was the Betrayal or traitor then? Osinbajo is contesting with Tinubu now and some Tinubu people call it betrayal cos I know no Nigerian would do that. They want Tinubu to get the Ticket on a platter of gold abi? He must work for it and don't think Lagos is Nigeria. Peter Obi is contesting with Atiku now knowing the fact that it was Atiku that made Peter Obi more popular using his as his running mate in the 2019 general election. Why is Atiku's people not calling Peter Obi a traitor or betrayal?

This is the end of Asiwaju's godfatherism. It will not continue forever and it must end one day.

Below is a link of when Buhari handed over the Economic management team on 2019. Please, Osinbajo is not in charge of the Economic team anymore.

Tinubu is so desperate. We move with Osinbajo.

Which camp Peter Obi dey?

This is just a blackmail. It is clear,no evidence. Osinbajo is good to go.

Emefiele wants to siphon money for campaign. Bleep!

But he just said the truth. No Government has really invested in Infrastructure and Agriculture more that his Government.

Tinubu dey find campaign money.

Dead man endorsing another dead man. See as e be sef.

A dawn of a new Nigeria. Congratulations Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

Osinbajo will do what he knows how to do best. Making the country a better place like he did the last time.

To Nigerians, and indeed a good percentage of the African community, Yemi Osinbajo isn’t an unfamiliar name, it belongs to the most popular Vice President in Nigeria’s democratic history. Having an academic, in such a high position of power seemed an impossible feat for the Nigerian political climate as at 2014, when Professor Yemi Osinbajo assumed office as deputy to President Muhammadu Buhari in APC’s historic election victory. Prior to this time, many erroneously believed that politics was a game of the ruthless, and so this brilliant anomaly excited us all.

This arguably also formed our lofty and unrealistic expectations of the man and his office as Second Citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. From arguments, I have heard and positions I have read on social media, it is clear that many Nigerians are green behind the ears in regards to just how much statutory power the Office of the Vice President wields, with a fair percentage of Nigerians positing that Vice President Osinbajo has been sidelined since he ostensibly does not act or speak up on topical issues. This of course is false, even if all you examine is his role in the permanent disbandment of SARS and ensuring justice for victims of police brutality through the Judicial Panels of Inquiry.

Simply put according to our Constitution, a Nigerian Vice President has no definitive power, and besides chairing a few agencies by statute, they are to only perform duties delegated to them by the President. In compliance with Section 145 (1) of the Nigerian Constitution, only in the event of the unavailability of their principal beyond 21 days, do they get to wield palpable constitutional influence as Acting President; this has been the case twice in the Buhari administration, first in June 2016 during the President’s brief medical trip to the United Kingdom, and the second and most crucial in January 2017, with Osinbajo stepping up to lead the charge in both cases.

How much notable change can be effected in 51 days?

It is my belief that a great number of people who fall into the faction earlier described – who is of the strong conviction that the VP is painfully quiet and is therefore complicit in the administration’s actions or the lack thereof – are genuinely ignorant of the progressive strides he took at a time when he could truly act.

Professor Yemi Osinbajo assumed the position of Acting President for the second time in January 2017, a period of grave uncertainty over the health condition of President Muhammadu Buhari, who had been out of the country for well over 21 days on health grounds.
His first official function was a meeting with the Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), Ms. Er-Tharin Cousin on the 27th of January 2017. He was informed of a serious food shortage in the Northeast of Nigeria and why he needed to act fast to save hundreds of thousands dying from food starvation.

Immediately, he constituted a team made up of ministers and other cabinet members and ordered that they activated the Bureau of Public Enterprises Emergency Act. Days after, food and other household needs were on their way to the Northeast. Hundreds of Nigerians were saved from starvation.
On the 1st of February, he presided over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, during which the Presidential Task Force on food security was mandated to reduce the price of food items in the country.
But there was politics brewing in the background. The powers that be did not want Justice Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria despite the fact that he was next in line. The ‘cabal’ and ‘elites’ had stalled his appointment, but all of that changed when Acting President Osinbajo on February 7, 2017, sent Justice Onnoghen’s name to the Senate for confirmation as Chief Justice of Nigeria. This was the first signal that Osinbajo was a man of balls but is he a man of steel?
That he showed when he did what many Nigerians describe as the unthinkable. He fired the then Director-General of the State Security Service, Lawal Musa Daura, for blocking the entrance gate to the National Assembly. This sent a warning to other larger than life public servants who once thought they could do anything and get away with it.
Does that make him a man of steel? Well, if that was not convincing enough, what was convincing was his decision to go to Borno State a day after Boko Haram had bombed Maiduguri, the State capital. Security agencies and intelligence warned him against the visit but Osinbajo was not one to shy away from adversity.
The next day he was in Maiduguri and he went on an on-site assessment of the destruction caused by the terrorists and immediately ordered the reconstruction of the villages. On arriving Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, he ordered all Service Chiefs to relocate to Maiduguri to combat the insurgency, and the next day they were there.

What about infrastructure? On February 8, 2017, he chaired the FEC meeting and gave approval of 21 billion Naira for the construction of Ilorin -Omu Aran, Kabba road section, in a similar vein on February 15, he approved the award of a 126 billion naira road project spread across Kano, Bauchi, Adamawa, Kwara, Gombe, Enugu, and Kaduna States to be constructed with immediate effect.
He did more than infrastructure, he stabilized the economy and brokered a peace deal enjoyed till this day. February 10 to 13 saw Professor Yemi Osinbajo make a rotational visit to the Niger-Delta, in continuation of his interactive engagement with the oil-producing communities in the region. The visit started in Yenagoa, the capital city of Bayelsa State.
He then proceeded to Port-Harcourt, Rivers State to meet stakeholders of the oil-producing communities. During the meeting, he rolled out the framework for the clean-up exercise of Ogoniland; this is in response to the report submitted by the United Nations Environmental Programme in 2011, warning about the deplorable condition of the community.
He was not done. Osinbajo brokered peace with Niger Delta militants while also encouraging the region to embrace modular refineries, which Nigeria now has four of today, thanks to his expertise.

On February 16, 2017, Professor Osinbajo presided over the first National Economic Council meeting of the year and directed the Central Bank of Nigeria to review the foreign exchange policy. The meeting also resolved that fresh $250 million be injected into the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF). The CBN subsequently released about $500 million through the inter-bank market where the 23 banks bought $371 million. Cut the chase, dollar to naira crashed drastically bringing a new lease of life to the economic wellbeing of Nigeria.
On February 17, Professor Osinbajo signed seven crucial bills into law, some of which are the Oaths (Amendment) Act 2017; Defence Space Administration Act 2017, and the Veterinary Surgeons (Amendment) Act 2017.

On an unscheduled visit that changed the fate of many derelict NCAA workers, Osinbajo appeared at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos on the 23rd of February as part of the 60 days action plan for business reform in the country.
The visit, which took many airport workers by surprise went viral; during the visit, Professor Osinbajo inspected facilities and interacted with airport officials on the welfare of the workers and the travelers. In less than 24 hours after the visit, the Federal Government announced the sack of 10 directors of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). Three new Directors and General Managers were also appointed for the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).

But more importantly, this was the genesis of Nigeria’s steady rise on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index. Prof. Osinbajo did not only make a case for a friendlier business environment, he ensured that government agencies removed bottlenecks by ensuring that they embrace technology.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting Osinbajo chaired on February 22, 2017, approved 32 billion Naira for the resuscitation and completion of 50 km dual carriage Kaduna eastern bypass highway, the council also approved $39.9 million for the construction of the Cameroon – Nigeria border-line bridge at Ikot – Efiem.

These are only a few of the proactive, hands-on, and profoundly progressive actions that accompanied Prof. Osinbajo’s time as Acting President, 51 days that greatly pleased the majority of Nigerians, so much so that an August 2018 publication of the BBC labeled him “Nigeria’s favorite leader”.

Conclusively, it will not come as a surprise if many dismiss this as a subjective view of the writer, still, I doubt that any unbiased observer needs a diviner to conclude that if provided some more leeway, the Vice President and former Attorney General of Lagos State could move mountains.

Can we see a recent picture of Tinubu on this same attire now?

This one is a clueless man. Clueless people promote clueless people and things.

As for the party APC, Osinbajo is the only credible candidate they have.

Some Nigerians are campaigning for him already as "MEFFY"

Meffy the Crook!

Lol, some Nigerians are campaigning for him already as "MEFFY"

Meffy the Crook!

Nothing wey protesters no go see for Lekki toll gate. Emeifile the disaster wants to be President too. Na wa o.

Na wa o, this image was used before. They keep using this picture during election period.

Tinubu has no reason to be President. Argue with Tinubu's PA.

Let's just be wise. I have passed that stage and level of people using my head. Rinu hosted Saraki in her space on twitter few days ago and this is the same Rinu that condemned the APC during endsars. PDP too have a lot of questions to answer. She has never dragged PDP for their incompetence for 16 years. What about PDP Cassava bread and their failed Government. Osinbajo tried as the Chairman of the Economic team for first term, so what are you guys saying.

inoki247:
den we av to call out who ever is incharge the Economy since he no dey incharge again...


Buh calling him out is not bad cause daz what the President told us bak den that's incharge of Economy bak den or av u seen anyone calling him out for Security...

The president no tell us say na him dey incharge of Security buh the Economy ...

[quote author=Truthisunique2 But Osinbajo did well in this. You can do your research and confirm. I hate how yorubas are tricksters
But Osinbajo did well in this. You can do your research and confirm.
Buhari was a disaster but osinbajo want to absolve himself of everything

Buhari inugurated an economy team post covid to last till the end of this tenure (2023)

He hasn't dissolved it, osinbajo heads a powerful team with finance minister, petroleum, nnpc etc under him

Yet he can't coordinate them, and some idiots are asking rinu stupid questions on the failure[/quote]

[Osinbajo chaired the Economic team for one term of which he did well. The Naira at that time was stable and we came out of recession within three months. quote author=inoki247 post=110040418]So because she's working for the opposition she no get right to talk abt d disaster we av as Economy.....

The president tell us say na Osinbajo go dey incharge of the Economy so I believe she's calling out the right person...[/quote]

Clearly, she is working for Saraki

Few days ago the twitter influencer hosted Bukola Saraki on her space. She has always tried to troll the APC but has never trolled the PDP for one day.

The big question!

Don't you think she is working for the PDP?

Below are the replies she got!
