@Adesam01 Does it mean i have to collect the certificate like that first then start processing the correction or i leave it with them for now and start with the correction process. Also does it involve spending money and what would be the range if money would be spent

I guess their marketing is low key but they are really doing very well. Their store is opposite Daystar Church on Ikosi Road. You can just go there and pick up your orders

yemi2plus: I'm from Kogi State and also a student of the school, however, I disagree with you that admission into the university is not based on Merit.

I have been around the school for more than three years now and I know how things work here. Like you may know, the entrance exam is CBT and the result is released latest 7 days after the exam and students are scored base on their performance.

Saying they admit more of their indigene is false and without evidence to backup your claim. You see, some students from other states like Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Lagos, Oyo and other states in the south-west region of the country claim to come from the Kogi state and visit any part of Okun in the state to claim origin since they answer same yoruba names with people from Okun.

bankyblue: the three last University should be relegated to polytechnic.

FutureDon: I did too, but found nothing insightful. If true, one would expect to see published papers or citations demonstrating its efficacy/replicability. In addition, one would expect a novel discovery as this one (if truly it is) to be published in high impact journal.

A plant has been found to halt the deadly Ebola virus in its tracks in laboratory tests, scientists have said.

The extract can be eaten or rubbed into the skin. They used a compound from Garcinia kola, a plant commonly eaten in West Africa. Compounds from the plant have also proved effective against some strains of flu.

If the anti-Ebola compound proves successful in animal and human trials, it will be the first medicine to successfully treat the virus that causes Ebola haemorrhagic fever - an often-fatal condition.

The discovery was announced at the 16th International Botanical Congress in St Louis in the US.

The Ebola virus was first documented in 1976 after an outbreak in Zaire - now the Democratic Republic of the Congo - where 88% of the 318 human cases died.

More recently, a 1995 outbreak in the same country had a death rate of 81% of the 315 infected.

There are four types of the virus - Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan and Ebola-Ivory Coast all affect humans, while Ebola-Reston has so far only affected monkeys and chimpanzees.

However, doctors have been unable to stop the virus once infection has taken hold - hence the disease has gained a terrifying reputation.

Traditional origins

Dr Maurice Iwu, who set up and heads the Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme, led the research. Dr Maurice Iwu said the discovery was a breakthrough. It started 10 years ago when researchers were led to the plant by traditional native healers who have used the plant for the treatment of infectious diseases for centuries.

"This is a very exciting discovery," said Dr Iwu, who himself comes originally from a family of traditional healers.

"The same forest that yields the dreaded Ebola virus could be a source of the cure."

Fighting chance

The virus multiplies rapidly in the human body and quickly overwhelms it, and in advanced cases the patient develops high fever and severe bleeding. The Garcinia kola compound has been shown to halt multiplication of the virus in the laboratory. If repeated in humans, this would give the body a chance to fight off the virus.

The active compound is what is known as a dimeric flavonoid, which is two flavonoid molecules fused together.

Flavonoids are non-toxic and can be found in orange and lemon rinds as well as the colourings of other plants.

Drug hopes

The tests are in the early stages still, but the researchers hope that if they continue to prove successful the compound the US Food and Drug Administration will put it on a fast track - making a drug available to humans within a matter of years.

"The discovery of these important properties in a simple compound - flavonoids - was very surprising," said Dr Iwu.

"The structure of this compound lends itself to modification, so it provides a template for future work.

"Even if this particular drug does not succeed through the whole drug approval process, we can use it to construct a new drug for this deadly disease."

vokalguy: Watching the game at the monet, I know it is just a friendly but ladies and gentlemen, I can say we have a gem in our hands! Now lets hope he can get game time, that is very important at this point in time. For a 17 year old, he is confident on the ball, not scared to take shots, knows how to dribble, ready to distribute the killer pass that will unlock a defense... and he is just 17!!!

truvine: op said number must end with 5 !!!

xandy84: You are more than % 100 wrong bro. I live in Chicago and there is no single public toilet around that someone can use and stores around would not even allow you use their toilet except you are patronizing them and you better not piss anyhow except you want a ticket from the police.

oldenglish: na build the public toilets? People wey never pass airport before go just take their techno dey type rubbish.

talk4free: How many countries have you been to that there are toilets in every corner. You all just say things you have no clue about. Please mention the country you have been to that had toilets on the streets, how much more on an bridge.

donnypool: AM in edmonton canada, no public toilet here sha
