rickkid: Maurice Iwu's research from 1999 on Ebola was deliberately discontinued by the American university after he made a breakthrough.
Who wants to bet money that they took his work (under their copyright, he has no access to it), completed it and now are taking credit for it. Their govt and pharmaceutical industry will now sell Dr Iwu's work back to Nigeria for millions of dollars and we will thank them for being such Generous White Scientific Geniuses!
I don't even blame them. Na our own uselessness cause am. The world isn't kind to mugus. Had it been Nigeria had provided funding and support through a proper university system for Dr Iwu and his likes, perhaps now it could be Nigeria charging other countries millions (billions?) for a drug developed here.
Instead, we allowed them to use the brain of a Nigerian to make the breakthrough, then they carried out the 'controlled testing' at Kenema hospital in Liberia using hundreds of Africans as worthless guinea pigs, then triumphantly broadcasted to the world that a "secret serum" "stored at subzero temperature" was "flown in from the US".
The pharmaceutical company behind this has already started counting millions as its share price rose 40% on the stock market yesterday alone.
As usual, they have created a problem and manufactured a solution and they are licking their lips as they prepare to sell it to us.
The poor African countries which cant afford it will then be given loans to enable them buy it - loans secured on national assets and resources. And the cycle starts again.
AFRICA, WHEN WILL YOU STOP BEING THE WORLD'S DUNC£?!

We also can come and buy houses in ur place,thereby pouring water into an ocean. We also can offer to be ur slave,do all ur dirty works in the name of immigrants as we've been doing since time immemorial. We also can volunteer to give you our best minds so you can use to develop medicines and technology to save our poor a.sses.

We can't say more than... PLEASEE HELP US!!!


Btw.. No more going to Yaba for me. Pls,this isn't child's play,it's a matter of life and death. And I need to stay alive for my kids and also ensure they inherit a safe place. Don't judge me!

Why are they manipulating us? Why shouldn't we be the one doing the manipulating? He think's you are foolish because you shifting the blame to someone else instead of taking responsibility?

Why blame others for your mistakes?

very soon Yankee will tell Naija to give it 2M barrels of oil in exchange for the serum.

Obviously your brain is already infected with Ebola.

lokoloko84: No Mr you are ignorant about how research works. Research and development department in a pharmaceutical company is expensive and a place where you have diverse professionals such as biochemists,virologists, pharmacologists, medicinal chemists, pharmaceutical scientists and even zoologists

By the way pharmacy as a proffesion is a wide field and hospital pharmacists are just another aspect in the practice. if the hospital pharmacists should improve on their clinical skills and specialise, then I believe they can be more involved in research works within their specialty.

Do we have research and development department in any of those pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria?

Abimloaded:


The pharmacists should know this.

Nigerian government is poo!

guess ur sorry asss was dumped from a pharmacy school for failing repeatedly. Keep hating but that pharmacist u see next to u is a million times better than u. Take it or leave it. Assholeeee

alotofgrace:

neo-colonisation is the other name of visa lottery. they invite u to drain ur brain to do dia dirty jobs while they start from where u stop.

It is better to win a visa lottery than to remain jobless in Nigeria.
Every time Nigerians complain of brain drain while we have jobless graduates all over the place.
I know a law student that left Nigeria in her 3rd year to work in prison because she won visa lottery. In less than a year she was able to buy a car many Nigerian lawyers cannot buy after working for 20yrs.

I swear if only we believe in science/fact-based knowledge a fraction of how much we believe in God or mysteries - that the majority have no proof of nor have witnessed - Nigeria would have been a much better place. We never take responsibility for anything. I think the common nigerians are the bulk of the problem and not the government. Heck! the government didn't drop from the sky. It includes you that cheat during exams, refuse to follow traffic, jump queues, accept money from politicians, support mediocrity - on baseless ethnicity - over merit, give or take bribes, claim money you never worked for (Local government money), cheat your neighbour...the list goes on and on and these aren't just done by those in government. Ask yourself if you would be any better than those in government today. If you would be, who would be able to vouch for you? What virtues are you known for? Nigeria is a nation of highly religious people with little or no virtues whatsoever. No wonder they say 'you can find everything in Nigeria except an honest person.'
On the issue at hand, Ebola won't wipe out everyone. I want to believe it is as contagious as they say it is and with the necessary precautions it could be managed.

U arnt rili makin mch sense 2 me. I neva said u shldnt pray 2 God. Bt my point is we shldnt attach Religious sentiment 2 evrytin. Its time we stood up in dz continent & nt bring God in2 evrytin. Espcly since he has given us dominion, power & knowledge 2 xplore. Reading jst a single book dsnt mean u shld av a stereotypd view abt a particular set of pple. It dsnt also mean u ar wiser than doz who didnt read it.
U kip hitting at d west whereas theyve bin helpful & suportiv 2 Africa. And alas, they actually brought d religion u ar defending.

Nope.. No just the West is at risk... the whole South at Risk.... people travel from lagos to other states in the south daily via commuter buses..

Poverty is truly a disease. You're just bitter that you won't be hired by Westerners for anything other than manual labor.

Drain your brain? You mean gaining exposure and cultivate expertise in technical or commercial sectors?

do u knw that an argument is like the two sides of a coin. It has positve and negative implications. Exploring one does not mean i eliminate the other sides. If i say u also agree to u manipulation, u wud say how? Why do u wash ur white shirt b4 washing ur black shirts. U believe in d superiority of the whites. So they are. Africans have that brain but there are no visionary frontiers to promote those novel thougts.

America has interests..

moscobabs: When SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) broke out between November 2002 and July 2003, we saw how the authorities of China and Hong Kong managed the whole situation. They did not blame anybody, they just went to work and were successful in containing it even though it claimed 775 lives and affected over 8,000 people. Their governments funded their local scientists and worked with scientists all over the world. When the bird (avian) influenza also broke out, we saw how the various nations reacted, no one blamed anybody.

When MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) broke out in Saudi Arabia affecting Qatar, Malaysia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Algeria, Bangladesh, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and the United States, all the various governments worked together to battle the resistant strain and no one blamed anyone until the situation was brought under control. When polio vaccine was brought to Nigeria, Nigerians were blaming the West. When ebola broke out in Nigeria, Nigerians are blaming the West. I think we should also blame the West for our lack of electricity, or what do you think? Since it is the West that has been voting for and electing our leaders since 1999.

Are people not aware of the fact that from the beginning of time, epidemics and pandemics of diseases have always been with us? I just wonder why some people keep saying this is the end times...lol! Diseases and outbreaks have been with humanity right from day one. My hand is paining me, I've been typing since morning, who do you think I should blame?

bro you have spoken well, i concur with you but you and i know that since 1999, our vote have not be deciding who is the winner, these fools we call leaders have been rigging election.

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....

aside crude oil (which is natural resources), what are the world benefiting from us?, what impact are we making in the world only to consume! consume!! consume!!!

leo1234:
Do we have research and development department in any of those pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria?

if you were that enlightened, common sense should tell you that the way, we practice medicine is retrogressive. Theoretical, the pharmacy academic knowledge in our universities is fantastic.
But you need more than that. At the Master' s degree level you need facilities to design and develop drugs, do we have that.
By the way, most drugs are synthetic active ingredients derived from refined oil products.Do you refine crude oil in this country.Let us start from there.

sisiafrika: guess ur sorry asss was dumped from a pharmacy school for failing repeatedly. Keep hating but that pharmacist u see next to u is a million times better than u. Take it or leave it. Assholeeee

Fortunately, I don't insult people because I think this kind of comment is being made by callows.

You never knew who I was & you are ranting of being failed or whatever, to make it known to you ; I'm an Architect.

Sharing my thought & opinion doesn't mean I hate the Pharmacists but I guess you are somehow related to one , if not you for you to have written all these out of annoyance I believe.

Calm your nerves a wee bit, The fact & the truth hurts a lot.

UrbanMystique: Nigerian pharmacists are in Church and mosque begging god to come and cure people

are u dis dumb ?

UrbanMystique: good point.

I tot u said they are in Church and Mosques? Is that what he also said?

Abimloaded:


Hmmm... now I understand you but nevertheless our pharmacists should be able to do something things without the aid of the self known only government.

have u heard of the good part of Pharmacist Iwu?

Blockus:


What research team?

the one the govt formed.

leo1234:
Our pharmacists are in the hospitals seeking for consultancy when they should be busy in the lab doing research.

wait! Do u think Pharmacy is restricted to industries and research?
.
Okay, u want them to leave d hospital?

leo1234:
Sorry.
But that is the truth.

dnt be so unreasonable pls.
.
Hw many Pharmacist do u even tink d hospitals employ compare to the no. of pharmacy graduate per anuum?

ACM10: Hahahaha
Prof. Chukwu is a scam. He is giving Nigerians hope. How can a discussion to give Nigeria a top secret serum be done by a head of an agency?

u r wrong. The head of that agency is the head of the research team and not what u tink.

That SCAM called Chukwu must RESIGN! His incompetence is smelling to the high heaven. He is no different from Bitter-kola IWU.

Iwu myt be fraudulent but, his knowledge isn't. Do u get it?
