So far, millions of Nigerians have been vaccinated.  The states with the highest number of vaccinated people are Nasarawa, Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna and Osun states. Over 50% of eligible people in Kaduna and Osun are at least partially vaccinated against COVID 19.  In total, as at 9th of August, 2022, 28,019,194 people have been fully vaccinated which is 25.1% of Nigerians.

The Real reason Africans don’t wear sunscreen

Do black people need to wear sunscreen? Do they need to be worried about skin cancer? These are both majorly important questions that seem to have created some confusion as of late. Here are the major reasons Africans believe they do not need suncreen. Black Don’t Crack. There is a belief that the Melanin in Black skin naturally protects the skin from the sun and its UV rays, creating a barrier against the sun’s harmful effects, hence the saying “Black Don’t Crack.” On some level, this may be true. Continuous exposure to sun without providing an adequate barrier against harmful ultraviolet rays will actually cause your black skin to crack over time. You will begin to notice that your skin loses moisture that will then lead to fine lines and wrinkles. The bottom line is, black will surely crack unless you […]

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, anyone who drove through any town or city in the country would stumble on at least a social gathering including weddings. At most weekends, social media was always awash with pictures of ‘owambe’ (a sobriquet used by many people to refer to a party).

Here are some tips; Wear face mask, avoid hugs and handshakes When you attend a party, public health expert Mrs Kike Adeniyi, […]

Africa’s COVID-19 response is Commended, As the US struggles

Africa receives praise for responding better than some richer countries, including the United States. According to Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah "It is clear that we must find an African solution to our problems, and that this can only be found in African unity." While the U.S. surpassed 200,000 COVID-19 deaths and the world approaches 1 million, Africa's surge has been leveling off. Its 1.4 million confirmed cases are far from the horrors predicted. Antibody testing is expected to show many more infections, but most cases are asymptomatic. Just over 34,000 deaths are confirmed on the continent of 1.3 billion people. Although, experts caution that data collection in many African countries is incomplete, "Africa is doing a lot of things right the rest of the world isn't," said Gayle Smith, a former administrator with the U.S. Agency for International Development.
