Can African countries not commit some funding to secure vaccines? What is more important to spend money? For once the media should stop playing up these sob stories that infantilise African countries. It’s not helpful

As far as I’m concerned, I’ve set the target for Nigeria at $150m and not a dollar less. After Nigeria has committed that amount of funding, then I will he happy to hear stories about rich countries not helping. Until then, spare me these stories
Again I ask, what is more important than committing some funds to vaccinate *your own* citizens in a global pandemic? What else is a higher priority than this? If Nigeria cannot shake bodi and drop $150m, please close down the government and send everyone home
$150m will get you enough Oxford vaccines for roughly 25 million people. In a country like Nigeria where more than half the population is under 18, that might be enough to get the job done. You can start begging after that. Until then, spare me
P.S Remember the $3 price for the Oxford vaccine is a ‘promo’ price - once the WHO officially declares the pandemic over, the price goes up.
