    WOW 😳 New HIV vaccine with a 97% antibody response rate in phase I human trials. This is the most effective trial HIV vaccine to date. It is based on the Moderna's COVID vaccine. COVID tech acceleration could change Rx for cancer & HIV in future.

    Black Africans are being treated with racism and contempt in Ukraine & Poland. West cannot ask African nations to stand in solidarity with them if they cannot display basic respect for us even in a time of war. Ignored in a pandemic and left to die in war?!! UNACCEPTABLE.

    Good morning. I’m in Salerno (south of Naples) to cover the funerals of the 26 Nigerian women (mainly teenagers) who drowned crossing Med on the 3rd Nov.

    Please take the Alakija’s name out of your mouth. For educational purposes, ALL Alakija’s are of mixed heritage. Brazilian, Egba. Igbo, Delta. Itshekiri - we are not tribal bigots.

    Spanish News version of racism and xenophobia #OmicronVariant - we can’t be silent. Inequity and injustice brought us the new variants. Africa cannot be labelled continent of covid. Leaders SPEAK UP! Summon their ambassadors & send a strong message that these images are wrong!

    What an incredible afternoon of sisterhood in Abuja‼️ Nigerian Women from across the country & all sectors led by @NOIweala welcomed Meghan “Omowale” Duchess of Sussex home. Well done Mo Abudu. Substantive discussion, fun and selfies! Strong call to action. Watch this space…

    Jeremy Clarkson should be arrested for incitement of violence against a woman. This is the way “society” works - open displays of hate, misogyny, racism. It is nauseating that anyone can defend any part of this behaviour & yet many of us are conditioned to cope & not complain.
