So far, neither party has backed down. But one thing is clear: This wasn’t just a Twitter fight. It was personal. History. Ego. And years of unspoken smoke finally going public. I will add more as it keeps dropping.

Our leaders can do better. The primary health care centers are the bedrock of our healthcare. This is not a doctor's problem, it's a Nigerians problem. It's our job to demand for better healthcare.

Yes, in the ongoing GMOs debate, I find Dr Ify’s and GRV’s perspectives and efforts very exhilarating. “Nigeria shouldn’t even be in the debate.” We have enough arable land to produce natural, healthy food, feed ourselves, and export to the lacking world. More especially, it is…

The same weedkiller inflicted widespread fatal damages in the US that a California court once ordered Monsanto, the producers of the weedkiller used alongside their GM product, to pay over $2bn to a couple that contracted cancer from it. If allowed to grow, GM products will…

In Nigeria, over 20 unregulated companies market the product to rural farmers. When they are injected into the soil, the crops absorb micro quantities of the chemicals and store them in the grains and tubers, which we eat. The results, after some time, are that the chemicals…

For instance, Nigerian farmers use the carcinogenic weedkiller containing glyphosate commonly called “Wipeout”, “Touchdown”, “Sarosate”, for farming, unaware of the attendant hazards.

GMO was first introduced in Nigeria in 2001, when the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NBDA) was established. But the first GM crop, Bt cotton, was not sold until 2018. Other GM products have since been widely distributed and used in Nigeria, albeit many of the users…

As far back as 2015, he led awareness protests and calls for the government to outlaw GMOs. A young, exuberant returnee from the West, GRV mobilized civil society groups for a series of self-sponsored demonstrations for the purpose. But why do they, like so many informed…

Also, her husband, GRV, a “nepo boy,” equally from a privileged background, made submissions that damned GMO during the public hearing. But that was a surface scratch compared to the measure of intense pushback he has given to the inimical invention.

In March 2019, during the public hearing on the bill for “An Act to Amend The National Biosafety Management Agency Act, 2015,” a bill which gave legal backing to the GMO, Dr Ify made an impassioned argument against its adoption. “Nigeria should not even have a conversation about…

Scions of Nigerian elites hardly show interest let alone devote to a fight against a global nabob-backed corporate cultural invention that bears far-reaching pitfalls for the unsuspecting vulnerable in the society. Not when they are favoured by the system run by such a big wheel…

Her background doubles with her achievement, particularly winning $1 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for her research work on Malaria which won the “Best Use of Science.”

A bit of her background shows that Dr Ify, an Associate Professor of Genomics and Molecular Biology, is a proper “nepo baby,” the daughter of Brigadier General Augustine Aniebo (rtd) and wife to architect and politician Ghadebo Rhodes-Vivour, she ranks in the “privileged status,”…

Both the “lapo and nepo babies” are trapped in the pickle, with the former more exposed to suffer worse peril, especially for their inability to access and afford health care when GMO’s deadliness matures and shows. But the rival debate against GMOs in Nigeria didn’t just start…

I observed, with soothing entertainment, the outpouring of criticisms against GM products, inimical inventions that are globally spurned, and I yearn for more attacks against the death traps. The collective consciousness is that the adoption of GMOs puts everyone at health risk…

The events of the past few days, particularly the “lapo vs nepo” drift, revived a silent debate over Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). It was as though Nigerians awoke to a new world order designed against their existence.

On The GMO Debate: The Perspective of Dr Ify Rhodes-Vivour, Bill Gates’ $1 Million Prize Winner! In the ongoing GMOs moot-point, I picked interest in the perspective of Dr. Ify Aniebo Rhodes-Vivour, an associate professor in the field of discourse, a “nepo baby” from a…

that is how one guy called Javu made a comment under JJ post. The this really paid JJ and he had to ignore all the drama and quoted it. Even with been tagged Frank still went to his page to continue the dragging. "Stop disguising. @ me with your chest."

There was another break for the 3rd time as it was time for JJ to take his lunch "Pounded yam and Vegetable soup" Frank on the other hand was just retweeting and quoting
