Coronavirus: US Testing Maurice Iwu’s Drug - Ogbonanya Onu by sarrki(op): 3:17pm On Mar 05, 2020
The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonanya Onu, has said the United States is conducting tests on a ‘chemical compound’ isolated by ex-Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Maurice Iwu, as a possible cure for coronavirus.

He dismissed reports suggesting that Iwu had found a cure for the disease, adding that his initial finding was that the compound could cure SARS.

Onu said, “They are testing it in the US to confirm whether this could be a cure for Covid -19 or SARS

Why do we need to have the drug tested in the US?

Are we saying we don't have labs that can test its efficacy in Nigeria?

Once the drug passes the test, they'll probably modify it to become better and claim the glory, unless...

I sure hope it cures Covid19 or whatever they call it.

But the person that announced this is a current minister and an appointee of this devilish govt that is notorious for their lying prowess which would want to steal the shine and glory from Maurice if eventually it comes out that the said drug truly works.

So what is your point?
