Nigeria's ineptitude knows no bounds, the countless universities and higher institutions keeps churning out half-baked medical graduates.

Nigerian education is worthless to be honest.

Finding an Ebola drug should be a common student project.

Select 20 medical students from any developed nation, give them a couple of weeks in a lab, I guarantee you they'd come up with a cure for Ebola.

Ebola is totally curable, viruses with such aggressive pattern are very easy to kill, Nigeria is just a mediocre country.

The west couldn't be bothered to find a cure because it's not their problem.

u are so lucky that i don't go insulting but bros., you shld think again abt all that you post here.
do u seriously think the health minister and all the health professionals don't know all these?....again, who said the dectector of this nono-silver is anonymous-u need to read abt the genesis again..
pls., check ur facts b4 going viral with ur insults.
Btw., who said itz only USA that can test an experimental drugs and certified them for use?....did any country tested there Zmapp b4 they used it on there citizens?
must we continue now to wait for them even after refusing to give us there own Zmapp..
don't we have an effective Nafdac and renowned scientist who can check the drugs for us?

Maybe you need to read it again. The "inventor" was never named.

Ironically, nanosilver was invented years ago. Why doesn't anyone know how to use Google on Nairaland?

barcanista: we are not answerable to the US. They are NOT right to dictate to us as long as I am concerned.

#Nigeria Has Come of Age

Your comments are absolutely right. However, the US have merely expressed their opinion (which they are most likely correct about), rather than 'dictate' to us (afterall, they are not physically restraining us from using the drug...).

When we begin to show manifestations of having come of age, even America will know smiley

The US didnt dictate anything to you, they just gave u facts. If you like drink the nanosilver. When another strain of ebola emerges, don't dare call for international support or help from the US.

I'm not an expert on traditional medicine. However I can tell you for a fact that when I had fever as a kid, my granny would cook this dongoyaro and some other leaves for me to inhale the steam while having a steam bath. It usually takes care of the fever. grin

what if nigerians keep churning out possible cures for the disease and one nation keeps embarrassing us telling us everything we do is crap, like over 160million people are stupid and still not willing to help.

why cant they just allow us to fail and allow us to learn from our failure?

Because I get ANGRY so ANGRY when I see Nigerians deceiving other Nigerians and shaming us. I am so damn patriotic, because I want Nigeria to be the country it SHOULD be. And the DUMBEST people, out of mistaken pride and ignorant STUPIDITY, shout down logic and facts. It makes so so angry. I wish some Nigerians could be wiped off, so Nigeria could start over.

1) The USFDA did not say that we can or cannot use nanosilver.

2) The USFDA has a duty to regulate food and drugs in the US.

3) If any company that's based in the US (whether owned by a Nigerian or not) makes claims that have not been verified or are contrary to US law, the USFDA has a duty to step in and ensure that they comply with the law.


Erica Jefferson, a spokeswoman for the FDA, said she could not provide any information about the product referenced by the Nigerians.

The FDA did not specify any products in its warning.

I'm surprised that all you care to answer frm my many ?s is who invented the drug.
This nano-silver had been in exisitence for long and used for some other things thatz nt medically related...and i need not to ask google b4 repeating it that there must be an inventor or group of inventors for that....bt seriously, what is ur problem abt who invented it?...this is a critical situatn that needs urgent action with the same speed with which USA treated there own citizens....all i want to be sure of is that it wont have any negative side effect either itz a cure or not.
I'm very sure u'll be singing different song if one of ur relatves is among those already infected with the virus.

bushdoc9919: Facts about nano silver

1.It has no proven anti-viral activity....either in animals or in humans.

2.It is used as a topical anti-bacterial agent., and for other bio-medical uses.

3.It was not invented by an African or a Nigerian.

For more info....Google for the article :Nanosilver particles in medical applications: synthesis, performance, and toxicity

LOL. So many dumb Nigerians! I tell ya. Many of them actually think that Nano silver is a drug that was just invented by the Nigerian. grin grin . Nano Silver is even used in washing machines.

This thread is proof that majority of Nigerians have an extremely low IQ. Wow.. I can't believe how ignorant Nigerians are. Our education system has truly failed us. The fact is Nano Silver was ABSOLUTELY not discovered by a Nigerian. Nano Silver has been around for decades. Claims that nano silver cures all kinds of ailments have been around forever. But these claims have never been proven in clinical studies.
