It is evident that Nigeria will not eradicate the poliovirus in the near future. On October 4, 2013, an article written by Leslie Roberts detailed that Nigeria has numerous different cultures and ethnic groups, which is clearly ineffective while attempting to implement a vaccination mandate. Leslie Roberts also stated that this is especially due to how it isn’t uncommon for citizens to listen to rumors that constantly spread from the west that the vaccine causes infertility or AIDS. Even if both of those obstacles were eradicated, it would be near impossible to mandate a a skeptical vaccine. According to Leslie Roberts, this is because the federal government in Nigeria is essentially powerless and discredited.
