Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.

She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.

“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”

It has been recorded that UNICEF has noted that Nigeria is the country with the highest number of children who have not received vaccines.

The organisation shared that especially children in urban areas are not accessible to vaccines, and this affects the numbers in Nigeria and the health of children.

“Today’s event is more than a launch. It is a shared political and moral commitment to the right of every Nigerian child to life-saving vaccines, regardless of where they are born or live.”

They shared the importance of the vaccine.
