Facebook gives $5 million to fund COVID-19 vaccines
Facebook has announced that it’s donating $5 million towards the Go Give One fundraising campaign established by the World Health Organization Foundation. The money will go towards the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) mechanism; which is helping to distribute COVID-19 vaccines around the world equitably.
While increased vaccine production and increased funding to buy vaccines will help enormously to ensure that everyone can get a vaccine; there are still communities in wealthy countries that are resistant to getting a vaccine; due to their perception of the vaccine or misinformation that they have heard about it from friends, family, or online.
To rectify the second issue, Facebook is partnering with organisations in areas that vaccines are becoming available; to help reach out to those most affected by the coronavirus. In the United States, Facebook has is working with KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation); BlackDoctor.org; and the National Academy of Medicine to promote content that features black doctors; nurses; and researchers answering questions about COVID-19 vaccines.
Facebook will also be helping AARP and Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health to run Spanish-language campaigns to inform and educate more people about COVID-19 vaccines.
In the UK, Facebook said it’s working with Dope Black Dads; the British Islamic Medical Association; and the Caribbean African Health Network to run campaigns that target the communities they work in. Earlier news reports revealed that ethnic minorities were more exposed to the coronavirus; due to the jobs they do (unable to work from home) and the fact many more people from these groups are living in overcrowded housing. These groups of people have also been targeted by anti-vaccine messages online which is increasing hesitancy.
Hopefully, Facebook’s newly announced efforts will help to get more vaccines out to those communities which are hit hardest by the pandemic. If you’d like to donate to the Go Give One campaign, you can do so now.

Nigerians react to FG’s hammer on Channels TV for IPOB interview
Nigerians have reacted to the fine of N5 million slammed on frontline TV station, Channels TV by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).
The interview in question was with Emma Powerful, the spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Channels TV was fined over a breach of the Broadcasting Code.
In a letter signed by its Acting Director-General, Armstrong Idachaba; the NBC complained about the Channels TV 7pm live broadcast programme of Sunday, April 25, 2021. The NBC DG told the Managing Director of Channels TV that the TV station erred by allowing a leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to make secessionist and also inciting declarations without caution.
The regulator accused the news channel of allowing the guest speaker to make derogatory, false; as well as misleading statements about the Nigerian Army, despite being proscribed by a court of law.
Emma Powerful had fielded a series of questions from his interviewer in which he addressed the recent killing of a commander of IPOB by security forces in Imo State. Emma Powerful had declared that the commander, known as Ikonson Commander, was set up.
Further, he had declared that the Nigerian Army lacked the capacity to invade the camps of IPOB; stating instead that the commander was ambushed after being lured out by some prominent politicians. In addition, Emma Powerful claimed that the deceased commander had rejected the offer of Imo Governor, Hope Uzodinma to head the newly formed South East regional security outfit, Ebube Agu.
Meanwhile, the action of the Federal Government has drawn intense reactions from Nigerians. Consequently, a number of users have taken to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to react. Indeed, a school of thought had declared the fine on Channels TV as a case of hypocrisy and double standard; even as it accused the FG of not taking action when Channels TV aired some incendiary comments made by the Miyetti Allah.
Others also cited instances when the government failed to take action over statements capable of inciting unrest.
Equally important, 1st News has put together a few reactions below; including that of a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode.
Pantami raises alarm of doctored videos against him by unknown persons
The embattled Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, on Monday, April 26, warned Nigerians that some unnamed persons were planning to release some doctored videos against him.
Pantami made this disclosure via a statement issued in Abuja by his media aide, Uwa Suleiman.
The Minister said the move was the next stage of the forces against him.
There had been calls for the resignation of the minister; after his controversial comments on the activities of terrorists emerged on social media.
Although the minister had renounced the comments and insisted that he made them out of immaturity in the past; many Nigerians still insisted that he should resign or be sacked.
But on Monday, Pantami said, “We are in receipt of credible intelligence that the same forces; who have been championing a well-coordinated and richly funded campaign against Pantami, are now unto the next stage of their diabolic project.
“This time around, the forces of evil are shopping for willing partners; as well as their usual avenues to release doctored videos purporting to show the minister in an alleged compromising condition as a way of creating injury on his image.
“We are least surprised by this recent move which is a clear intensification of their desperation; having failed in their assault on the personality of the minister, despite their previous efforts.”
The minister said the notice was to alert the public to the latest plan and to warn the perpetrators about the consequences of such action.
Meanwhile, Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has beseeched the Federal Government to seek help where necessary to regain peace in the country; and chart a way forward without using Nigerians as victims.
Soyinka made this call on Sunday, April 25, in response to the killings across the country by bandits; terrorists; and other gunmen in the country.
Professor Soyinka decried that these gunmen have sacrificed and traumatised the country’s youths beyond their capacity to cope.
“The already over-stretched sinews of moral restraint have been snapped off the casing of nation being; and nothing is left but the collective wails of impotence. Not for the first time; what many hoped was a Natural Law of Limitations has been contemptuously, defiantly breached.

Ghana set to deport 480 illegal immigrants from Nigeria, Burkina Faso
About 480 illegal immigrants from Nigeria and Burkina Faso have been apprehended in Ghana.
The illegal immigrants will be deported after proper documentation.
The development was confirmed by the Ghana Immigration agency which revealed that the 480 Nigerian and Burkinabe illegal immigrants were arrested in the Upper East Region.
Furthermore, the undocumented aliens were said to have made their way through Ghana’s porous borders; the upper East Regional police PRO, DSP David Fianko-Okyere, revealed to the media.
All immigrants were also said not to be wearing face masks, neither have their COVID-19 status being determined.
Meanwhile, the High Commission of Ghana in Nigeria has denied alleged castigation of Nigeria and her leadership by President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana.
This was disclosed by an official of the High Commission in Abuja who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Ghanaian official said the comments trending on social media were nothing but fake news. Further, he denied the reports, which claimed that Akufo-Addo made some provocative comments; which specifically attacked the leadership and people of Nigeria.
While describing the reports as misleading, the official said; “President Akufo-Addo holds the brotherhood of Ghana and Nigeria in the highest regard”.
The alleged comments from Akufo-Addo had painted the Nigerian government in bad light. The Ghanaian President was quoted to have allegedly said; “We must learn from the mistakes of Nigeria, and never in our entire history be ever so foolish.
“You cannot declare war on your country and still be enjoying federal allocation as a state except in complicity with the government. The Nigerian government is an ethnic government, not a nationalistic government. What I cannot understand is why Nigerians themselves are not angry enough to change the situation.”
According to the official, the statements accredited to Mr. President were not true and misleading.
“There is no occasion either in private or public where President Akufo Addo attacked the good people of Nigeria. Mr. President holds the brotherhood of Ghana and Nigeria in the highest regard.
