Not true.
The federal government offered to fund the clinical trials.

The government did the right thing. Public health imperatives should always triumph over cheap irrational sentiments and blackmail.

This is the problem with Nigeria. We wax sentimental when we should be rational, and then we stand aloof when we rightly should be sentimental.
so someone with cronic HIV doesn't not need a trial drug rite. by d way if dies without drugs administered, what is d gain. I don't see any sentiment here rather Africans are just too wicked for my liking. dat is y we are under- develop. Jealousy

Court lifts ban on Abalaka’s HIV vaccines
November 14, 2014 by nan 20 Comments
The Federal High Court in Makurdi on Friday lifted NAFDAC’s ban
on the use of Dr Jeremiah Abalaka’s patented vaccines for the
treatment of HIV.
The court, presided over by Justice Binta Nyako, also restrained
the Federal Government and NAFDAC from further interfering with
the use of the vaccines.
Abalaka, an Abuja based medical practitioner, had challenged
NAFDAC for banning him from using the vaccines he discovered in
1999 for the treatment and prevention of HIV.
Joined in the suit were the President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria and the Attorney General of the Federation.
Testifying before the court, Abalaka, who also called three
witnesses, said he discovered a recipe to turn the virus in the
infected blood of HIV infected person into both preventive and
curative vaccines.
He said he applied for the patent of the discovery and was granted
on July 22, 1999.
“I wrote to health institutions and authorities in Nigeria to draw
their attention to the discovery to collaborate with me to test and
confirm the breakthrough.
“This was in order to bring succour to sufferers of HIV but the
letters were ignored.”
Abalaka said the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and
Development took him up on the discovery and confirmed the
potency of the drugs.
“This was done through a report on Feb 28, 2000, but the Federal
Government discontinued further collaboration with me and the
institute.”
He disclosed that various agencies of federal government, including
its hospitals, had purchased the vaccines from him and applied
them on their own patients who had HIV and many were cured.
“When the FG discovered that the vaccines were potent, it sent
agents to me with the sum of N10million for the breakthrough to be
announced in Atlanta Georgia, USA, but I refused,” Abalaka had
alleged.
Abalaka said his vaccines were then banned from being used for
the treatment of HIV epidemic in Nigeria by NAFDAC.

This is the example of misplaced sentiments, irrationality and blackmail.

If Abalakas formulations pass through clinical trials, who would be more wealthy and famous than he?

My qyestion to you, why do you Nigerians prefer shortcuts and unable to measure up to the minimum thresholds of standard ethical professional practice?

Abalaka is just a joker.

what stopped him from publishing his results in a standard international journal? Or presenting a paper on the subject?

This court judgement is a joke, anyway. Why should a law court be telling NAFDAC what drug to approve? You think the US Supreme Court can order the FDA to allow anyone start selling his own drugs?

Another Nigerian Lawyer ruling on technicalities and not content.

Yeah. Nafadac may not have the right tools to test the veracity of the drug but that does not also make his claims real. We just like throwing caution to the wind and not reading between the lines.

When did it become the job of a lawyer to tell whether a drug would work or not?

What independent clinical test has this drug undergone before he started administering it to humans?

If he is so sure of the efficacy, he should undergo the right processes for such. There are always rules and guidelines for drug tests before they are approved. Many variables like the efficacy, reaction, safety, clinical proof of how it works, active ingredients used and their chemical components need to be sorted out before a drug can be sold on the staples.

Not someone waking up and telling us he can cure HIV. Na black man own dey always dey different.
Trials on medical matters involves rigorous and thorough evidences presented by top medical professionals. This is a case that has taken years and involved lots of logical debate. From the evidences and testimonies, the judge made his ruling.

It is not just a lawyer taken a decision.

This is why the government of Nigeria and NAFDAC could commit such atrocity.

He came out to ask for help and support. We are talking of someone who never took second in his life. He made distinction in all his courses. He believed his idea and needed support.

Our government should have confirmed his research with National pharmaceutical research institute and sponsored him to continue his research.

From which tests, in which lab and accepted by which scientific body? Stop telling us lies. That man has been disproved of his claim for long when he used concoction in the past now he is taking serum from human, treat it and re-inject it into the body. That is very funny!

I remember very clearly. The government bent over backwards to accommodate this guy and help him confirm and develop his formulation.
He even refused to give samples for testing and evaluation, claiming that someone might steal his formula.
If truly he had a genuine formula, the government offered to help him patent it.

my friend, in medicine and drugs, the word cure is not used as lightly in such a manner.

To pronounce " cure" for HIV AIDS, a sampling of at least 1000 to 2000 patients of different gender and ages over a period of at least 3 yrs would be required.

Both Dr ABALAKA and the people who support him are pretending not to understand how the drug approval process works.

Big laugh.
If he had patent for his formulation, kindly give me the patent number.
Also, if he had a patent, the why hasn't he either sold it for billions to a multinational drug company or gotten them to sponsor clinical trials of his formulation ?
Pls apply common sense here.

All the government asked was for him to stop selling the concoction till further scientific testing and trials were done.
