The Edo State Vaccine Card Business
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on August 25, 2021, 10:41 AMThe covid-19 vaccination card economy begins. How much internally generated revenue can we project? You have a scarce product with HUGE demand but magically a governor wants to use that product as a condition precedent for many things in his state, even when he is unable to meet demand. Yes, that scarcity will distort the price equilibrium point, making fake vaccine cards more valuable than even the vaccine!
Yet, the governor may not be wrong if that is what would be needed to fight the new variant of Covid-19. My concern is how he will manage “card” extortion which could become more valuable now than a Nigerian passport in Edo state.
And in the details: more crowds will be formed to get the cards than actually to get the vaccine or attend church/mosque. As always, he has better data and is possibly making the best call. Wishing Edo people safety.

The same mannerism number of votes surpasses the number of registered voters, a similar scenario is obtainable in this "vaccinated VS card carriers" case.
