These whites have lots of evil in their hearts towards africans.

God bless you. Africa is a laboratory. Do you know that they have vaccine to make people violent/docile? So in 20 years, when Nigeria experiences upsurge of violence, we should not be too surprised.
This is what we get when the government, past and present doesnt show interest in education and research. Those we look up to can use us to test any kind of new bio weapon they develop.

The North will forever remain a pest to this entity called Nigeria.

Why won't they die of Meningitis when their women won't stop dressing like ediots in spite the excessively hot weather condition?
Other countries dress in that manner because of dust and other climatic conditions, our own ediots up north do it because of religion.

(The same stup!dity also cut across Christianity though. Whenever I remember the origin of Celestial folks, I just weep for this nation. Because your leader had incurable elephantiasis, and as such, could not put on any shoe, his f00lish members won't stop walking around with their bare feets till date.). If he had excessively large feets; too large to find any sizeable shoe in the market, must you the member be f00lish enough to expose your feet to worms and other diseases? If by tomorrow, we witness another round of ringworm disease, you f00lish animals will continue to tarnish the image of this nation... ordinary vaccine, you can't make, yet you utilize your idiocy clandestinely only to go begging WHO and United Nations for aids.

As far as we have these sets of stup!d people in the country, Nigeria can never know progress. We the people are the greatest enemies of the country.

So vaccines aren't preventive measures? Don't just spew trash, be learned qualities of an E-TOUT in a public forum

As learned as you claimed to be, you should have known that preventive measures goes before something becomes an epidemic outbreak, when it becomes an outbreak, you are no longer preventing but now containing the situation. (U are learned yet chronically ignorant)

Your psuedo self acclaimed education failed to comprehend why same repetitive approach for decades which was what my comment was all about, but people like you with very short thought process usually dive into making senseless response without giving a careful thought to what they read before going on rampage showcasing their limited rationality which they sadly flaunt as been learned.

I'm not here to engage you in any self serving fruitless academic egotism, stick to the issue and as far as education is concerned, I make bold to say that you are half baked.

My comment is in alignment with the quote below which is exactly where Nigeria ought to be at this year an age but with shallow minds like you as the self professed learned members of the Nigerian society then the country is definitely in for a long ride to oblivion.

Eradication should be possible. Look at smallpox. This month marks 35 years since the last death from what used to be a scourge that used to affect 50m people worldwide every year. Some forms of meningitis are already falling away. Haemophilus influenza B used to be the most common cause of meningitis in childhood, but introduction of Hib vaccine in 1992 has meant its near elimination.

Along came meningitis C immunisation in 1999, now also given to babies with Hib and other vaccines. It’s estimated to have prevented over 9,000 serious cases and 1,000 deaths from MenC.

You can now put on your thinking cap and do some reflections which can only be possible if and only if you have a functional head.

Don't he surprised that the government is actually lying about the number. They may actually not order up to 60k and even at that, more than 40k will be hoarded and sold to the highest bidder upon arrival. This country is a mess. undecided

Black man will always be blackman

Preventive vaccination was usually done
around Oct/ Nov to protect for one year.

Now, every year, govt must wait until a few
hundred Nigerians are killed before they wake up
to act.

Yet we have Minister & Ministry of Health.

That's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many states on that map right there. Some of them are too small to exist. They should merge all those states back in to 6 semi-autonomous (semi-independent) regions.

Any nation that doesn't take education and healthcare seriously is never going to grow. I'm yet to see a govt in Nigeria make education or healthcare its core mandates.

What is Buhari's policy on health?

Education? Its clear for all to see that the educational sector needs a reform but I have never heard this govt talk about that all important sector.

We just keep running round cycles. By this time next year, there will be another outbreak of meningitis, the scenario will play out exactly the way it is right now.

They need to delegate this things to the states or the local govt. Better yet, hand it over to the private sector with strict standards and monitoring. This centralized model where the fed govt runs everything and has a say in everything from healthcare and education has not worked for decades and its still not working. Its time we move those duties out of the hands of the Fed govt and hand it to the people or the govt closest to them (local/state govt).

They say insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. Its too bad that Nigerians can't see this.

The federal government is procuring 826,000 doses of vaccines from Europe, in addition to the number already being administered.

In his words he said, “We have mobilised vaccines to come in from all corners, 500,000 unit doses of vaccines are being distributed and vaccination campaign has started already.

“The government is also getting 826,000 units which is being shipped from Europe to us within the next few days.

“The most affected states has been Zamfara, Sokoto and Katsina, together they have 85% of the cases.
“There is reactive vaccination going already and social mobilisation, while the various teams are working on the affected states”.

The Minister further noted that there are two treatment centres being setup in every local governments, with doctors ready available to be able to take blood samples to the laboratory.

Earlier, the Director General Center for Disease Control Chikwe Iheakweazu, had announced that reactive vaccination for meningitis is to commence in Zamfara state from Wednesday April 5.

This was in response to the meningitis outbreak which led to the death of 328 people across the country, with Zamfara state recording the highest number of deaths

Yes but at what percentage. You can look at opendata stats from 2007. Old stats yes but it's telling how bad the most effected states were. I doubt it's too much higher than before.

Relatively safe. Anyway what's stopping African from developing their own vaccines. The process isn't that complicated.
