It's understandable that workers should be paid a living wage. But practically speaking, where would the money come from though? Some states still couldn't pay the ₦33,000 minimum wage -- how then can they finance paying 100k? Loans? How will they pay back? |

MartinsD12: Pure stealing, can someone tell me the difference between what Yahoo boys does and the stealing CBN is about to do. It is not "stealing" It's called escheatment and is completely normal. It happens in other countries too. Of course there's the Nigerian risk of inefficiencies in the process, but the concept itself is as old as the Roman Empire and happens in several developed countries. |

Here's more context from Sahara Reporters ( https://saharareporters.com/2023/04/13/ghana-becomes-first-country-approve-malaria-vaccine-developed-oxford-university): It was developed in the UK by Oxford University, but is made by an India company: R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and manufactured by the Serum Institute of India after over 30 years of researchIt has undergone trials in many countries (Ghana was just the first to approve its usage) The R21/Matrix-M vaccine has undergone clinical trials in the UK, Thailand, and several African countries, including an ongoing phase III trial in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali and Tanzania that has enrolled 4,800 children.It was approved only for infants: The vaccine has been approved for use in children aged 5 to 36 months, the age group at highest risk of death from malariaIt is expected to be very cheap (around $2), which is way less than the average of $14 spent treating Malaria in Ghana. |
Health › Ghana First To Approve 'world-changer' Malaria Vaccine by rookidmart(op): 9:57am On Apr 13, 2023 |
Ghana is the first country to approve a new malaria vaccine that has been described as a "world-changer" by the scientists who developed it.
The vaccine - called R21 - appears to be hugely effective, in stark contrast to previous ventures in the same field.
Ghana's drug regulators have assessed the final trial data on the vaccine's safety and effectiveness, which is not yet public, and have decided to use it.
The World Health Organization is also considering approving the vaccine.
Malaria kills about 620,000 people each year, most of them young children.
It has been a massive, century-long, scientific undertaking to develop a vaccine that protects the body from the malaria parasite.
Trial data from preliminary studies in Burkina Faso showed the R21 vaccine was up to 80% effective when given as three initial doses, and a booster a year later.
But widespread use of the vaccine hinges on the results of a larger trial involving nearly 5,000 children.
These had been expected to take place at the end of last year, but have still not been formally published. However, they have been shared with some government bodies in Africa, and scientists.
I have not seen the final data, but have been told it shows a similar picture to the earlier studies.
Ghana's Food and Drugs Authority, which has seen the data, has approved the vaccine's use in children aged between five months to three years old.
Other African countries are also studying the data, as is the World Health Organization.
Prof Adrian Hill, director of the Jenner Institute at the University of Oxford, where the vaccine was invented, says African countries are declaring: "we'll decide", after being left behind in the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines during the pandemic.
He told me: "We expect R21 to make a major impact on malaria mortality in children in the coming years, and in the longer term [it] will contribute to overall final goal of malaria eradication and elimination."
The Serum Institute of India is preparing to produce between 100-200 million doses per year, with a vaccine factory being constructed in Accra, Ghana.
Each dose of R21 is expected to cost a couple of dollars.
Adar Poonawalla, CEO of the Serum Institute, said: "Developing a vaccine to greatly impact this huge disease burden has been extraordinarily difficult."
He added that Ghana, as the first country to approve the vaccine, represents a "significant milestone in our efforts to combat malaria around the world". https://www.bbc.com/news/health-65252511https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/ABA8/production/_129344934_r21vaccinationsattanzaniaclinicalsite-credittomwilkinsonuniversityofoxford-1.jpg |

Please correct me if I am wrong CAMF has always been ₦1 per mille (₦1,000) Perhaps you're mistaking it for Commission on Turnover (COT), which was phased out in ~2016/17. |

raskymonojendor: Why do people go under popular tweets to lodge a complaint to their bank or GSM service providers.
The other day, David Hundenyin was cursing out those doing that under his tweets. They believe it'll make the responsible parties reply them to avoid negative publicity. If you drag your Telco or bank in a thread you create, it may have just a few views and the company may not reply the thread. However if you post it under a popular thread then the company will be 'forced' to answer you. Some use it to plug their businesses too. |

SeaTrade: Hello house,good morning. Sorry I came with a little deviant but I'm just looking for a solution to this extortion. Bank charges!!!At the end of every month,I just dey panic cos I don't know what they're going to take . I know there should be cheaper packages where businesses shouldn't pay above a certain threshold, can anyone point out to some of them here? I've spoken to my bankers and they seem not to either know(quality of staff in banking keeps declining unfortunately) or the ones that do wants the status quo to remain the same so their organisation can keep making money.Tiring tbh.. Bank is UBA,na to tear down that account remain if this continues,let's see who loses. Other banks keep coming to me and literally asking me to have accounts with them and promise zero charges and zero collateral loan with cheaper rates(I don't do Nigerian bs 30% loan,not now not ever),I've not because it's hard to move multitude of people to other accounts as a business,not because I'm loyal to this extortionate bank. You run a business and use a current account. Per the banker's tariff published by CBN the current account maintenance fee is ₦1 per mille (₦1,000) You can download/print your account statement and confirm if you're being charged over the tariff. If you are, then you can take it up with the bank. Also note that the tariff (₦1/mille) is negotiable and negotiation is to be initiated by the customer. Realistically in every negotiation you need either leverage or a good relationship to triumph. I wish you good luck. Them dey even get mind charge VAT,fuckers playing all over my account ffs! VAT is a tax and goes to the government, not the bank. It's a statutory requirement and the bank will be fined if they do not remit taxes. No matter the amount you're charged you'd still have to pay taxes

stupid people bringing a stranger into your home. Is it laziness ? No stranger in my house ooo. I do everything by myself. My cooking gas has finished now, I am about to carry the cylinder by myself . I no lazy. I go carry the cylinder inside boot lol. Don't trust nobody. Streetz is red. No joy . Sweep my floor myself, wash my car myself, cook my food myself, empty my dustbin myself, dust my house myself, am I crippled ? Are my two hands not working ? It's not about laziness. Delegation of duties happens everywhere, even in the corporate space. If there were no delegation of duties there wouldn't be employment, and the available businesses would collapse. Would you say a CEO who hires a driver is "too lazy" to drive? What of one who takes his clothes to the laundromat? Or if you buy something on Amazon, is the CEO required to deliver it to your doorstep by himself?! Time is money. I remember when I used to say I wouldn't do all these things, that I'd do everything by myself to save money. You too will learn. |

Honestly speaking, a lot of companies need to look into hybrid work. One of the positive results from the COVID 19 pandemic was that it showed us that not all jobs need to be performed physically.
If a lot of companies implement remote work for at least twice a week it will greatly reduce the traffic especially between the mainland and island. |
