The Trvan Victims Forum) now (KANO TROVAN VICTIMS ASSOCIATION 'KTVA') was established and registered in 2006, as an independent association of downtrodden victims of the 1996 Pfizer failed Trovan clinical trial in Kano State. It was formed out of the necessity to identify, organise and present a united front for justice agitation, in respect of the unfortunate consequences of the trial carried out on the victims who were used as guinea pigs by Pfizer. The Association's existence furthermore, became necessary in order to provide voice for the victims themselves.

Last Tuesday, the Occupy Nigeria protests against fuel subsidy removal (FSR) entered its second day. It has been a resounding success. Never in the past fifty years of my life have I seen the country absolutely shut down by a consensus of its citizens like this. Nigerians have proved to the world, and convinced themselves now, that despite their differences they collectively harbour their country in their hearts. They are not ready to sacrifice their welfare at the altar of some meaningless ethnic differences. Bravo!
