Just look at some people's Messiah.

Some clowns will stay under the sun and queue to vote for these apc charlatans.

Can't we use the Cuban model and get done once and for all?


Must we always listen to WHO all the time?

Must someone, somewhere always dictate to us?


It's difficult being Nigerian/African.

BossTtdiamonds:
This APC government eh!
I can swear they're constantly smoking weed over at Aso rock. If you're still supporting this demonic party, sorry oh!

lonelydora:
We haven't produced the ordinary pencil APC promised us in 2018, it's nuclear technology they want to deploy. Buhari that don't even know the technology used in Ganduje's bribe video is talking about technology.


Chai...these people think we are all vegetables like the Daura samanja

StudentsNG:
APC will soon use nuclear exposure to kill everyone in bid to prove they are working. Mumu government that failed to achieve basic things of life is exploring nuclear technology for malaria treatment. SMH.

punisha:


Nuclear gini Biko?!

These mad pipu should allow my food digest in peace Haba!!!!

SanLorrenzo:
North Korea's nuclear research is strongly opposed by the west...For Nigeria to partner with them would only bring international sanctions upon our "already-wrecked" economy by the western world

beamtopola:
North korean? This administration is dumb..... nuclear? We are finish. They should start it from buhar compound first.

Where issues go start na the location of a nuclear facility.

This news will only make sense to stupid people like...

I’m struggling to understand how you will use nuclear technology to sterilize mosquitoes without affecting other organisms. Perhaps you’ll invite them all to a rally.

Deflames01:
Nuclear Technology to combat mosquitoes. .......then what technology will be used for ants?

Cyprian221:
Nigeria under Pmb deploy nuclear technology?
This is serious, Infact Buhari did not know about it, He is not evwn aware of it... If you think am liein ask Lair Mohammed

You guys should take a chill pill first and read about STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE before passing comment on this technology of eradicating mosquito population. It involves breeding male mosquitoes en masses and sterilizing them under controlled conditions, in a contained facility, before releasing the sterile male populations into the environment. When these male mosquitoes mate with female mosquitoes in the environment, they do not produce any offspring, thus helping to break the reproductive cycle of the insect.
The method is eco-friendly and residue-free.

Jaqenhghar:
Please someone should educate me. How do you use nuclear technology to eradicate malaria?

Johnmattee:
A friend to North Korea is an enemy to the US. The Trump administration doesn't give a fvck! what will remain of our economy when we start getting trade tarrifs from the US. This govt just wanna ruin this country. Anyway February is right here.

Kindly enlighten me

A revamped technology for combating malaria will soon be introduced in Kenya. The technology which involves the use of a bacterial formulation will be used to control mosquitoes — the malaria vector.

Kenya is looking up to Cuba which eradicated the disease many years ago.

Julio Cesar Gonzalez Marchante, the Cuban ambassador to Kenya, explains that his country successfully eradicated the disease three decades ago, using this technology. Cuba began developing the technology after the Second World War.

“We developed and applied the biolarvicide technology to eradicate the disease, which we successfully did” says Marchante.

Chemicals

This technology involves the use of two bacterial formulations, developed by Labiofam, an institute in Cuba. According to Dr Elizabeth Juma of the Division of Malaria Control in Kenya, the formulations work by killing the mosquito larvae in their breeding sites.

This technology is an effective method, which has been shown by experts to reduce malaria incidence by up to 80 per cent.

“The use of chemicals or what is known as larviciding to control the malaria vector, has invariably employed pyrethrum-based synthetic products in many areas of the country,” explains Juma.

In contrast, this new technology entails the use of the naturally occurring bacteria. The bacteria control the mosquito responsible for spreading the malaria parasite, by eliminating its larvae, through the release of toxins.
Once administered, these toxins are digested by the the mosquito larvae. Bacteria spores then multiply inside the larvae, releasing toxins, resulting in its death.

As far as Juma is concerned this technology is not all that new. She observes that Bt has been used before to control malaria, in the coastal areas of the country such as Malindi.

She adds that the technology has also been applied in Kisii and Suba districts in the Western parts of the country. When asked why Kenya turned to Cuba for this technology, Juma said:

“Cuba offered us the help. It is a normal part of cooperative bilateral agreement signed between Kenya and Cuba.”

However, the ambassador points out that Cuba is only duty-bound to assist Kenya and the African continent at large. He cites the country’s longstanding relationship with the continent, which goes way back to the slavery and colonial era.

This new effort to tackle malaria in Kenya began in January 2009, when the Interregional Commission was formed between the two countries, otherwise also known as the Joint Commission.

“We discussed the different areas of cooperation, one of which happened to be malaria eradication,” says Marchante.

The ambassador explains that the process of registering the biolarvicides in Kenya is ongoing. Once this is done, it will signal the commencement of rolling out the technology.

Success

Meanwhile the malaria division is holding high level negotiations with other relevant government organs and departments, about how best to introduce the technology in Kenya.

Kenya has cut down the rate of malaria-related deaths for children under five years from 35, 000 annually a decade ago to 15, 000 annually by 2008.

This huge success against malaria has largely been attributed to the use of the Long Lasting Insecticide-treated Nets The deployment of Indoor Residual Spraying programmes in malaria prone areas has also contributed to this success.

But these two methods have one distinct characteristic: both involve the use of pyrethroid chemicals. Concerns are now emerging about mosquitos developing resistance to pyrethroid-treated nets.

Goal
According to Joe Lines of the vector control department at WHO, scientists are concerned about this emerging resistance.

Kenya hopes to eliminate malaria by 2017. The disease has been in decline in the country in recent years and scientists say they are optimistic that it can be eliminated by then.

The goal was announced by Beth Mugo, minister of public health and sanitation last year.

Hhhhhhhhhhhh.
Trade tarrifs? What do you export to the US?
Alternatively you can import almost everything from Asia. Rest assured. Was it not that administration that calls our leader lifeless?

Also, what will you say on Trump's marathon meetings with Kim?

r remember that an Air force jet was deployed to bomb boko Haram and protect the IDPs but it finally bomb the IDPs and protected boko Haram. How are you sure that the nuclear tech wouldn't come to finish Nigerians instead of the mosquitoes, this is Nigeria o

Omooba77:
The Federal Government has concluded plans to deploy nuclear technology to eradicate malaria in Nigeria.
The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya disclosed this on Tuesday when the Ambassador of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Mr. Jon Tong Choi paid him a courtesy call in his office in Abuja.

Towards this end, Dr. Onu stressed that collaboration between Nigeria and North Korea in nuclear technology will sterilize the reproductive ability of anopheles mosquitoes which is the vector carrier of the disease.
According to the Minister, nuclear technology will be deployed to control the birth of anopheles mosquitoes, adding that malaria is the number one cause of death among Africans.

Malaria, he explained, has caused the death of more people than HIV and Ebola.
Dr. Onu also opined that malaria has a debilitating effect on the economy by reducing productivity of the workforce.
Speaking earlier, Ambassador Choi said North Korea will be partnering with Nigeria in developing science and technology through exchange of researchers from research institutes of both countries.
Mr. Choi noted that science and technology is an important asset of any country adding that science and technology is the foundation of economic development.
It will be recalled that at the recently concluded 3rd meeting of ECOWAS ministers in-charge of Science, Technology and Innovation held in Cotonou, Benin Republic, Dr. Onu had emphasized the application of Science, Technology and Innovation to address the malaria scourge.
