Q. “My girlfriend works at Memorial Regional Hospital and received the two prescribed doses of the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer from her hospital. The process is voluntary. Only about half the staff apparently received the vaccine while others declined. This week, a nurse and three patients tested positive for COVID-19. All of the staff on the floor, included those who received the two rounds of the vaccine, had to be tested for COVID.

Is it a waste of my time to get the vaccine if I can still catch and spread COVID?”

Ibadan, Jan. 15, 2021 Dr Oluleye Adigun, a US-based Nigerian billionaire, has revealed ongoing effort to invest three billion naira ($6.8million) in Fidelity Bank through shares acquisition.
Adigun told Naija247news in a telephone interview, on Wednesday, that the acquisition was part of his planned investment in the Nigerian economy, adding that the process of buying Fidelity bank was almost done, attributing the little delay to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The Fidelity bank purchase is almost done. COVID-19 delayed the process a little due to everything closing down, but the process just picked up again. I was told I have to open a bank account and will need BVN. I am planning to come to Nigeria to do that as soon as possible.
