Musiwa my man. The tormentor!

DLuciano:
Waoooow! Great to hear that, how is the fuel economy?

It is great for V6. My return trip to work everyday is 28 miles. I spend between 6 - 8k fuel every week depending on the traffic situation. I am very fine with it. It is a strong car. Though, I don't like abusing car.

I do travel to Abeokuta from Lagos with it and sometimes Epe.

Gazzuzz and other mechies here have helped with small issues that my usual Kazeem would have made big. That keeps the car going and I enjoy it till date.

I use 2003. It is a very good car. Excellent to drive. I always enjoy the drive. 4 yrs counting now without any major issue.

An experimental antibody treatment designed to stop people developing Covid-19 after being exposed to the virus has failed clinical trials, dealing a blow to Britain's hopes that it could soon have a new weapon to fight coronavirus.

Anglo-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca gave an antibody drug to unvaccinated adults who had been exposed to Covid-19 within the past eight days.

Antibody treatments are meant to work by pumping patients with antibodies to boost their immune system and stop them from developing a virus after they have come into contact with it.

However AstraZeneca said its drug reduced the risk of developing symptomatic Covid-19 by around a third compared to a placebo, which was "not statistically significant".

The drug had been touted as offering a potential treatment for those who had already contracted Covid-19 or for those who could not be vaccinated. It was announced as a key pillar of the Government's fight against Covid-19 last summer, at which point it said it was striking a deal for one million doses of the AstraZeneca treatment.

Last July, the Government said those who could not be vaccinated included people suffering from cancer, although NHS advice is now that people living with cancer should get the vaccine. Some people with severe allergies are still advised against a Covid jab.

When the trial for the treatment kicked off in November, Business Secretary Alok Sharma said: "I am very proud that the UK is the first country in the world to begin this invaluable study, and that a fifth of trial volunteers will be from Britain – a testament to our fantastic life sciences sector and the willingness of our people to come forward to help others."

In recent weeks however reports had suggested the UK was considering pulling out of the AstraZeneca deal, which had been a non-binding agreement and had been dependent on the treatment working. Vaccinations have accelerated in recent weeks, and NHS boss Simon Stevens said he expected all adults in England to be offered a jab by the end of the week.

Meanwhile, Mr Stevens has said the NHS is hoping to be able to offer radical antibody cocktails to patients, being developed by other companies including Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. He has urged healthcare services to "gear up" for a rollout. The treatments could be given the green light by this summer.

AstraZeneca's candidate had also been seen as a leading option by the US government which struck a deal for up to 700,000 of the treatment. AstraZeneca said it was now in talks with officials regarding the next step on that deal.

Mene Pangalos, the executive vice president of AstraZeneca, said: "While this trial did not meet the primary endpoint against symptomatic illness, we are encouraged by the protection seen in the PCR negative participants following treatment with AZD7442."

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesman said: “To end this pandemic and send this virus into retreat, we have taken a broad approach, including the possible use of antibody treatments.

“The phenomenal pace of the UK’s vaccination programme has allowed us to refine our approach to possible antibody treatments and we are investigating several, including through a network of national platform trials. These trials have already made crucial breakthroughs including monoclonal antibodies tocilizumab and sarilumab, both of which have now been rolled out to NHS patients.

“The government will continue to work closely with manufacturers to ensure that UK patients have access to a range of Covid-19 therapeutics as evidence of efficacy continues to emerge.”

Words can’t express my gratitude sir, you saved me from the thought of replacing my gearbox. How i wish I had u as my mechanic earlier u could have saved me thousands of Naira and my car would have been in excellent shape. God will continue to bless your hustle sir. Thank you Gazzuzz

Gazzuzz once saved my gearbox from my Kazeem. I owe Gazzuzz lots of appreciation. A good man indeed.

Airport? Such a very dirty airport with dilapidated infrastructure. You will cry for the country called Nigeria. All government workers are worse than the government they are working for. All they want is money without work.

You will be wowed when you visit smaller countries and observe how they perform and sorry when you see what your countrymen do here. Not their fault. What happens in Nigeria is done by Nigerians. Nigeria itself isn't happy with Nigerians.

They are only scared about Nigerians taking over the whole country.

Lol. You were once Nig president

Dearth of substantial news. Food section is better than front page these days.

So, this one is clean? Where are the toilets. Show us the back of the building.

Whoever is in the chain of when money is made available for defence, whoever benefits, wouldn’t want the problems to stop, because defence budget is unaccounted for. I found that the resistance is from where money is made available,” Gumi added.


Only God knows if people read these days. They only look for names or read the headline. Boom, crazy comments begin. Nonentities.

Lagos? Lol

yusman14:
I know some people that have ideas on how to solve electricity problem in this country..but where is the government and organization to implement their ideas??

Thank you so much. Let the people hold their representatives by the jugular. What happened to people's constituency allowance, social-welfare allowance as examples. All these are constitutional.

If government proves irresponsible, let there be organizations that can handle not those that dash money to those the display nudity and have sex on TV.

Will Nigerians contribute to a course on invention through a fundraising channel?

Invent no be by mouth o...

Funding is required.... Infrastructure is required...

The same funding received by Michael Faraday and Albert Einstein.

English comprehension is your problem bro. The western world are saying you are so wretched and poor and cannot do anything for yourself. Even the vaccine they want to donate to you for free, you don't have electricity or facilities to store it and that you will waste it, youre talking nonsense about over-reliance. Even over-reliance we cannot even do successfully. Western world prevented you from manufacturing even ordinary malaria vaccine abi?

Next time, read slowly and understand every word in a write-up. If you can do that, you will understand we are saying the same thing.

Another one. Electricity that some nations have and use. Even so much left unused.

Where are Nigerian youth. What is the essence of going to University? Where are our elect-elect graduates. They have all gone to telecommunications where they can make money and refuse Invent simple electricity for their household. So bad.

That is good.

This should make every Nigerian understand that over-reliance on Western nations is not the way to go. It's an opportunity to suppress you and make sure you don't grow. Our greedy leaders know this but their madness orchestrated by greed will never make them act.

As a Nigerian, stop every Nigerian from corruption. Make Nigeria a productive nation. Invent in every sector and see us triumph.

Unfortunately, there are too many useless and stupid Nigerian youth to understand this simple fact. They will be the first to complain and throw tantrums whilst they sit like fat pig waiting for Western nations to do everything for them.

Saifulah:
Do people read this days at all...
Emirates airlines crossed our local lines and they were sanctioned by FG. The UAE government then retracted and towed our line and the sanction was lifted. Common guys above... READ

Thank you. The youth of our days. Very lazy youth. To read is a big problem. I'm just frustrated seeing foolish comments up and down.

Very annoying thing. Especially Lagos drivers. They are the most demented countrymen I know when behind the wheels.

Around Ikeja along, one did the same, I was in my car's lane (last lane to the left). The guy was even struggling hard to be in my front. Eventually, his mirror hit mine and his got smashed. He had the effrontery to block me, get down and asked why his mirror got broken.

Come on!

Lol. Lagos private drivers live in their own world. Complete set of mad people.

As much as I have lived all my life in Lagos except some occasional travels, I still hate the Lagos rush. I have never been able to adapt.

I wish OP could live in places like Lagos Island, Oshodi, Mushin.

A fire broke out Thursday at a building under construction at Serum Institute of India, the world´s largest vaccine manufacturer, but production of COVID-19 vaccine will not be affected, the company said.

Firefighters were extinguishing the flames, the fire office in Pune city in southern Maharashtra state said. The cause of the fire and extent of damage were not immediately clear.

"We have rescued three people and there are no casualties," said fire official Prashant Ranpise, who was supervising rescue operations.

The company said the fire was restricted to a new facility it is constructing to increase production of COVID-19 vaccines and ensure it is better prepared for future pandemics.

It said the fire did not affect existing facilities making COVID-19 vaccines or a stockpile of around 50 million doses.

CEO Adar Poonwala said there would be no loss in vaccine manufacturing because the company has other available facilities.

"So far the most important thing is that there have been no lives lost or major injuries due to the fire, despite a few floors being destroyed," Poonawalla said.

Images showed huge plumes of smoke billowing from the building as firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze. Dozens of company workers in lab suits left the compound.

Serum Institute of India is the world´s largest maker of vaccines and has been contracted to manufacture a billion doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford University vaccine.

Poonawalla said in an interview with The Associated Press last month that it hopes to increase production capacity from 1.5 billion doses to 2.5 billion doses per year by the end of 2021. The new facility is part of the expansion.

Of the more than 12 billion coronavirus vaccine doses expected to be produced this year, rich countries have already bought about 9 billion, and many have options to buy even more. As a result, Serum Institute is likely to make most of the vaccines that will be used by developing nations.
