Eminent: The Nigerian Government has received the samples of Russia’s COVID-19 vaccine.
Russia’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Alexey Shebarshin gave the samples of the COVID-19 vaccine to the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire during a visit to the Ministry in Abuja on Friday. The Russian Ambassador also handed over to the Minister an aide memoire which gives details about the vaccine to help the Nigerian Government conduct further research on it. “We are exploring all knowledge in terms of therapeutics and vaccines,” the Ministry quoted Ehanire as saying. “We are expressing our interest in the COVID-19 vaccine so that we will have the opportunity to work elaborately.” He explained that the country has been taking part in a series of knowledge exchange and contact with several research bodies and nations in a bid to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Ehanire noted that the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Nigeria for the right of access, immediately the Russian COVID-19 vaccine was announced. The Director of Hospital Services Department in the Ministry, Dr Adepimpe Adebiyi who was also present at the event said it is an opportunity to expand Nigeria’s vaccine production. “The technical officers will interphase with the #Russian team in order to strengthen the relationship between Nigeria and Russia,” he said. ‘No Serious Adverse Events’ Russia had on August 11th, 2020, announced that it had developed the vaccine which has now shown some signs of success in early trials. Patients involved in early tests of the vaccine developed antibodies with “no serious adverse events”, according to research published in The Lancet Friday, but experts said the trials were too small to prove safety and effectiveness. Russia announced last month that its vaccine, named “Sputnik V” after the Soviet-era satellite that was the first launched into space in 1957, had already received approval. This raised concerns among Western scientists over a lack of safety data, with some warning that moving too quickly on a vaccine could be dangerous. Russia denounced criticism as an attempt to undermine Moscow’s research. READ MORE FROM CHANNELS TV

RAISE MEN THAT RAISE MEN

By
"Raise men in men, as only men grows men, you won't continue to be strong always.  For the strength of a nation is not in its military might, nor in its technological advancements, but in the character of its citizens.  The future belongs to those who are willing to nurture, to guide, and to empower the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and change-makers. As we strive to build a better world, let us recognize that true strength lies not in dominance, but in vulnerability; not in power, but in compassion; and not in individual greatness, but in collective progress. Let us raise men who are vulnerable enough to show emotion, courageous enough to stand for what is right, and resilient enough to weather life's storms.  Let us raise men who will lift others up, who will listen, and who will lead with empathy and kindness. For when we raise men who embody these qualities, we create a world where everyone can thrive, regardless of gender, race, or background. A world where s...

ALL IS VANITY BY COMRADE ABDUL-KAREEM YUSUF OPEYEMI

By
"Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity. The relentless pursuit of fleeting pleasures, the never-ending chase of earthly treasures, the ceaseless striving for temporary glory.  We toil, we labor, we struggle, but for what? Is it not to grasp the wind, to clasp the mist, to hold the sand between our fingers?  For in the end, what remains? What endures? Not the riches we accumulate, nor the titles we wear, nor the praise we receive. Not the kingdoms we build, nor the empires we conquer. For when the dust settles, and the ages pass, what remains is the legacy of our hearts. The love we shared, the kindness we showed, the compassion we gave. So let us not be fooled by vanity's siren call. Let us not be seduced by the fleeting allure of earthly glory. For true greatness lies not in what we accumulate, but in what we give. Let us invest in the eternal, not the ephemeral. Let us build bridges, not monuments. Let us sow seeds of love, not harvests of fame." By Comr. Abdulkareem Yusuf ...
