A lady has alleged that the COVID-19
vaccines which are supposed to be free for
the masses are being sold to Nigerians.
The lady identified as Uloma on Twitter,
shared her experience after she visited the
health centre in Ikate and found out that the
COVID-19 vaccines provided by the Federal
Government were been sold to people.
This came after few days, after a lady also
observed that the vaccines were been sold to
people at the health center. However, many
Nigerians attacked her and shut down her
claims online.
Uloma further stated that people who
attacked the other Lady for speaking up after
she discovered vaccines were sold should be
apologized to her.
“I think the people who dragged that lady for
saying that Nigerian health centres are selling
the vaccines owe her a huge apology. I’m
presently at a health centre in Ikate & people
are coming in with their SUVs & having the
vaccines sold to them before our very eyes. I
AM PISSED!”
Meanwhile, another Twitter user
@mimi_onyekwere also confirmed that the
vaccines where indeed sold to individuals.
Replying Uloma’s tweet, she wrote; “I can
confirm this. The Matron gave us a silly
speech about how they’ll prioritize old people
and essential workers. Next thing, they’re
selling the vaccines . Doctors and Nurses
have been here since 6am and not one of
them could get. Not ONE!”
Responding to the lady’s tweet, Uloma wrote;
“I can’t believe we have to fight for vaccines.
VACCINES! We are selling vaccines!”.
