It took 14 years, blood, sweat and tears to pass the VAPP bill. Now a senator from Kogi East is trying to repeal it because he wants victims to prove intent to harm by their assailants.
We can't let them do this. #NotoVAPPrepeal
VIDEO: A recent study by Gavi found that newborn babies in Nigeria are born with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, specifically colistin-resistant bacteria, in their systems.
According to the study, the global use of antibiotics in agriculture is a significant contributor to the growing resistance.
It, however, said European countries continue to export livestock feeds containing colistin to low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria, perpetuating the cycle of resistance.

While we were dragging SA, Tinubu began passing a new law.
The bill prescribes 10 years in prison + 5million fine for anyone who refuses to sing national anthem.
It also prescribes 5 years for anyone who protests.
And finally 2 years in prison for anyone who insults Tinubu

WhatsApp's claim that it may be forced to exit Nigeria due to FCCPC's recent order appears to be a strategic move aimed at influencing public opinion and potentially pressuring the FCCPC to reconsider its decision.
The FCCPC investigated Meta Platforms and WhatsApp (jointly referred to as "Meta Parties") for allegedly violating the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).
The Commission found that Meta Parties engaged in multiple and repeated infringements of the FCCPA and the NDPR. These infringements included denying Nigerians the right to control their personal data, transferring and sharing Nigerian user data without authorisation, discriminating against Nigerian users compared to users in other jurisdictions and abusing their dominant market position by forcing unfair privacy policies.
The final order requires Meta Parties to take steps to comply with Nigerian law, stop exploiting Nigerian consumers, change their practices to meet Nigerian standards and respect consumer rights.
To deter future violations and ensure accountability for the alleged infringements the FCCPC also imposed a monetary penalty of $220 million.
The FCCPC's actions are based on legitimate concerns about consumer protection and data privacy and the order is a positive step towards a fairer digital market in Nigeria. Similar measures are taken in other jurisdictions without forcing companies to leave the market. The case of Nigeria will not be different.
Onyeka is a prime example of how the patriarchy would fuck you up no matter how much you do for it. She alongside a bunch of male artists worked with Abacha. All other artists made a return, Onyeka was never able to recover from that single error.
