Obum4ever: Gentleman we are not depending on the west,... Whenever there is an outbreak of disease anywhere in this world all human race puts hands together to combat it, it's not a matter of dependency.... If they have a serum that treats it then I see no reason why we shouldn't reach out to them....

Must we always ?

Can't we just produce ours ?

these are my questions!

What about those foreigners we are depending on ? their government sponsored them all ?
Actually, yes pretty much. A few are funded by pharmaceutical companies but more are funded by research grants given to universities and research centres.
But the structure of the Nigerian govt right from military days is to spend money on ceremony, frippery, bloated salaries and other non-capital expenditure and then spend more money to import the things we have failed to produce.
Which is why when one man is trying to do things differently and then some group of 1diots calling themselves "progressives" start marketing Bu-fukin-hari for President, I wonder if we ever want to make progress as a country.

YES!!!

Most researches are government funded as a result of the huge cost of research.

Followed by pharmaceutical companies( note that the driving force is profit)

followed by concerned rich individuals (as charity of something they hold close to heart, like something that killed a family member)

But the major financier of most researches and medical expedition is the government as public good through it higher institutes of learning through major research grants and setting up research facilities.

Now ask yourself, how much has the Nigerian government spent on any research since independence and note we have willing Nigerians with brains and interest to do these researches but no funds.

Heck!!! this is one of the demands of ASUU

cnwamo: Wise move by the F.G, I hope the US govt responds well.
Obama have been praying for a day like this, the trap he kept for nigeria for some months ago have gotten nigeria. We are bragging of been superior when we were having anti-gay issues with US of A, we boasted of been African champion. Today, ebola wants to wipe us away from the surface of the earth and we are now crying and calling on America. One lesson we should learn is that we should mind how we talk. Nyako and Sanusi can testify of this moral lesson because it states that "experience is the best teacher"

Oga minister discuss with your Oga at the top and lease them oil block. The Pharmaceutical company cannot refuse that. Thats exactly what they want. Our research team should work with what is already known(serum,bitterkola),no time for wide goose chase. The existence of the country itself is at risk.

Just has the Nigeria government has failed to develop a local solution to world problems that will affect its people like most advanced countries are doing it has also abandoned is the Agricultural sector.

Imagine a famine affecting the world and how it will affect Nigeria, however Akinwunmi through the federal government and Dbanj through ONE campaign may just develop and create enough awareness for Nigerians to go back to Agriculture, we should not wait to beg for food for America before we start shaping up.

YES they know it and that is why the best brain in Nigeria and Africa are being offered special Visas by the western world and our people cannot resist because at least they are appreciated over there and they will be funded to put to ingenuity to work. Note the very serum Nigeria is begging for could have been the invention of a black African.

This rumor about the death of one of the dr that attende to the liberian patient, how realistics is it? If this is true that means the family of those infected are still in denger. The best thing is for every body to be indoors cos no clue to know who has the contact with the victim, upon all the precautionary measures and the dr were able to contact it, no body is safe then.

Nairalane: The West and The rest of Us. The world is gradually winding to an end. In this end time, the best solution is just to stick to God. He will provide a Goshen for His people in this evil world. Accept Jesus Today.
Meaning? So doz who died ar nt God's pple? Africans & dia religious sentiments. Epidemics hav always bin in d world so im sure d world wnt end anytime soon because of Ebola. The west who brought religion 2 us stil invest time & money for research bt we the Dogmas in Africa wil leave the research aspect & hope God will perform some form of magic
My pple perish because they lack wisdom
