OK. If you say so. @bolded, please what year and discovery?

I'm very interested in Nobel Prize winners in scientific fields.

Pm me. Saying it here would mean anyone can google & see story, names, location, school, health institutions involved, etc.

We all still wanna have a certain amount of privacy/anonymity.

BabaPissmaker:
You sound learned and so I'll reply to use as such. Do you know about the drug thalidomide and the havoc ir caused in the lives of little children and their mothers. That is exactly what you are advocating here. It is not Adewole's place to search for side effects of the Profs work, there are processes to be followed. However strenuous they may be. It's all to avoid calamity

Well, I have actually met some thalidomide "babies", now middle-aged.

You forgot where I wrote "Professor Adewole can define clinical trial in x or y number of patients, and cure maintained for p or q number of years, without serious side effects/future health hazards to make it recognised as a cure, depending on current/existing drug development and clinical trial regulations in Nigeria."

There should be processes leading to registration. Yes many drugs in in use now would not have passed clinical trials if done today. Do you know we have not marketed (Bench to bedside) any proper new antibiotics for decades now?

Nobody is saying flood the market with improperly researched/trialled drugs.

Gerrard59:
I do know that no black individual has won a Nobel Prize in any of the sciences (research strength might be our Achilles heel). But this "conspiracy theory" coming from someone like you is stunning.

You might be surprised. A late professor of mine was overlooked for the prize. Even though he discovered something important (and published it) a year before an American who discovered same was given the prize. The first discoverer denied was not black though. it was widely published in UK press. But I knew the inside story. On the positive side, a couple of my former profs did get that prize. So no sour grapes here.

But you see, it is not new for blacks to be denied recognition at the right time.

The role of Hamilton Naki (a black South African) in the first Heart Transplant in 1967 was hardly recognised except after apartheid by the black SA Govt.

But it is more coded these days. I see it happen to people often and I should know.

MICHEALADEX:
You don't run a trail with people's life without due consultation with the government please let's be adults here

You are right. I am quite familiar with the procedure. Even certain research done require permit from Ministry of Interior in organised countries I'm familiar with.

Do you think the University would not have consulted the school's ethics committee for guidance? Or will seasoned researchers not be familiar with established clinical trial rules?

Those careless govt quangos can easily ignore applications or even lose them and nothing will happen.

It seems anything goes in Nigeria.

BigotMan:
I need the link to that journal. Thanks

Immunology behind the job seems quite concrete.

Viral load went to zero & remained so for months now at least.

CD4 level also returned to normal.

Plus curiously complete elimination of VL happened earlier in men than in women during treatment. Is it that women have more areas biologically that are more difficult for the drug to reach? Like more immuno-privileged organs than men have? Because of more complex reproductive organs?

The only slight valid argument is that the drug has not been trialled on enough patients.

Professor Adewole can define clinical trial in x or y number of patients, and cure maintained for p or q number of years, without serious side effects/future health hazards to make it recognised as a cure, depending on current/existing drug development and clinical trial regulations in Nigeria.

HIV/AIDS is too serious to use bureaucracy to frustrate its possible cure.

BigotMan:
I need the link to that journal. Thanks

See link below, I think it is PDF:

http://www.journalrepository.org/media/journals/BJMMR_12/2016/Nov/Ezeibe18112016BJMMR29018_1.pdf

BigotMan:
I need the link to that journal. Thanks

I do not have it. But the Journal and date of publication was mentioned a couple of months back in his interview.

You might need subscription to access the full journal online anyway. Search online.

BigotMan:
Well, if you claim to have a cure, the best way is to publish it professionally in a journal

He has published it. In International journals even and presented the cure in an international conference in the US.
What else should he do?

The West will not like it. Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology should not go to black Africa. The Indians & Chinese will soon nick the formula. And sell back the drug to us at exorbitant rate.

Since 9ja doesn't value his discovery, he should sell it to the Chinese and make good money. Before others steal it.

Now it is every man for his own pocket.

dominique:
See people applauding fraud and insulting an innocent person for a mistake anybody could have made. If an average Nigerian doesn't see anything wrong in taking money that doesn't belong to you because it was mistakenly sent to you, then they deserve to be in this pathetic situation they currently are. Next thing they will start shouting that the leaders are the problem with this country. Let's face it, the majority if the people are the problem.

Before nko?

Given half a chance, 95% of Nigerians will beat Ibori, Yakubu, Tinubu & others in corruption game.

We have a massive problem that even 20 Buharis combined cannot fix.

When they accuse GEJ of corruption I was just laughing. As if he made IBB, Abacha to loot tens of billions when money still had far more value.

If it is not your money, do not take it. However tempting. You might use this one million to throw away 100 million that God is perfecting for you.

Temptations always have reasons. Not just simply the devil's machination only. It tests your faith & resolve.

vicadex07:
Lmao... You have no point whatsoever. For every one of those individuals above you just mentioned, we have thousands or even millions of them more in the Yoruba tribe....

I hope you get me now. This is what I want us to argue about. If you think otherwise, let's hear it.

Sorry. I am not going into prick display with you. Go on with your boasting as you do with both history and everything else. If doing so fills the obvious gaping vacuum in your daily life, suit yourself o. Go ahead.

I am strictly here to correct history that you guys want to use ogboju, agbero style and numerical advantage to force on people. Period.

PS: I meant we owe you no explanation at the beginning of my previous post.

vicadex07:
I asked a simple question. Stop beating about the bush.

Let's start mentioning the collective accomplishments of both tribes today. Stop quoting history of about 500 years that can be easily manipulated and distorted. Or is there no greatness in the benin man today?

We owe you no explanation. If not for your SW people who meddle into Benin historical narrative, we have no business with you guys. We all know being very loud and excessively boastful is a normal stuff in SW.
Go ahead and show your prick claiming that it is bigger than other people's own that you have not seen..

I remember one argument with a young SE guy 20 years ago. He claimed Benin people didn't go to school. Then I asked him who was the official personal doctor to President Nnamdi Azikiwe (an Igbo man) who accompanied him to the Caribbean during January 1966 coup. He did not know. I also asked him who was the longest serving physician to Nigerian heads of State. He did not know either. These people were two Benin doctors. Both of whom I happen t know and one was even my UK alma matter. Mind you, this argument centred simply on education. Not to brag.

Ignorant people abound everywhere.

Tiri Gbosa OP.

Wey those Evra & Beyonce pics?

RIP.

Nothing new. We all know NYSC is time for sexual escapades. Married corpers fvcking about and all kinds of fvckry.

Other times corpers get killed on the bad roads travelling to some Jah-forsaken places or get bombed by Boko.

The vestige of military gra-gra called NYSC has long outlived its relevance. Should be scrapped.

vicadex07:
Since we both agree that edo women are harlots, it is safe to assume that your mom and your sisters are all prostitutes.

Your existence is probably a product of one of her sexcapades so it's safe to conclude that you're a basttard...area-bastard

I will not insult your mum. I was brought up well by my mum, in the cradle of culture not to insult other people's mum.

This really exposes the hypocrisy of a culture that claims respect, that you so much claim supremacy for.

If harlot, fine. At least not dirty local league, or opening legs for dirty agbero upanddan.

vicadex07:
Lmao.... Na jealousy go kill una...

We don't even consider your significance... Proud non entities. At least our qualities were endearing enough for Beyonce to eulogize and worship our own river goddess, Oshun.

Tell me, what are your endearing qualities other than prostitution, cultism and withcraft...


[s]Lmao.... Na jealousy go kill una...

Okay scratch all that I have said... Let's start afresh. I want us to start measuring the collective accomplishments of both tribes. No give me trashy tales of one ancient extint, expired empire.

How many edo indegene is on the naira note today? Just mention one... Before I start mentioning my own

Hahahaha!
To begin with, Naira is useless money. Not different from Nigeria. You think all those so-called heroes past who tried getting independence (all African countries got it anyway regardless) who had no foresight to know that Hausa/Fulani & the South cannot mix peacefully can have their heads on Naira, who cares? If Enahoro was from WAzobia, his head would be on the Naira. Not that I think it is something relevant though.

For now Hausa/Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba are busy playing Tom & Jerry with Nigeria. And nobody gains.

After 1897 when Benin lost the war with Britain, we knew there would be nothing good to expect from the resulting entity. That they would empower those who were their sycophants against us. And so it has been.

Instead of Edo people hanging around expecting anything from the dysfunctional entity called Nigeria, they go abroad.To try making a living on merit.

Even Edo prostitutes value their wares enough to go abroad and earn hard currency with it. Not ideal but still. They do not offer their punany for a plate of Amala & Ewedu.

Since prostitution is what you will mention next, let me help you out first.

As for Beyonce, she has every reason to feel Yoruba because you lot sold yourselves into slavery. Except the very few who were raided by slave robbers, Edo people were not sold into slavery even in the 1470s. We had better sense of self-worth than others who sold themselves into slavery. Trade in Edo people or by Edo people was forbidden by Royal Decree. In fact it is on European records how Royal officials freed suspected Edo indigenes (even just good speakers of the language) from holding cells along the coast. Annoyed the Europeans & caused friction but carried on. We needed our people & even paid mercenaries to expand the empire from 1440 AD, so why would we sell our people?

Edo has basically no Slave/Brazilian diaspora. So why would a slave descendant feel Benin? It is nothing to be proud of. SW Obas going to Brazil is very funny to me. To see descendants of those they sold into slavery. Very funny.

Mental health is a big challenge in Nigeria. Murders, divorces, aggressive behaviours, vilence and more are due to undiagnosed/untreated mental health issue.

Victim of post-partum depression.

Which aspect of health care is well taken care of in Nigeria sef?

olasaad:
yea this are the kind of people that celebrate val not those guys that are only interested in having sex with ladies.

And make the marriage fast ooo before you turn to Lord of the Rings

Well, no one can tell how it all began before graduating to this level. Nobody can definitely say they have not been having sex for years before now.

People arrive at a destination through different means like Danfo, Uber, own car, Taxi, Keke Marwa, Leggedes Benz, etc.

I see. So it wasn't low oil price that is the issue. So GEJ's & Yar'Adua's diplomatic, leadership & negotiation skills enabled oil to keep flowing to fuel the economic growth until May 2015.

And Buhari came with slave master Funta Djallon mind to deal with ND militants and collapsed the economy.

The truth is coming out gradually. Continue.

do4luv14:
Much as i don't know the no of account, they are biting d hands day leads dem, when will dey speak true and let the former administration be,

day TSA ws the brainchild of GEJ govt by our able finance minister and her economic team, its ws introduce to checkmate corruption and ghostworkers,
KUDOS to GEJ and his IDEALIST economic team

They quickly forget who started it in a bid to paint GEJ as the only corrupt person that ever existed in Nigeria.

GEJ did not believe in medicine after death or attracting criticism from all the major tribes should he dock influential ethnic majority people that largely control the corruption business. Like subsidy scammers. Instead he wanted checking corruption at source via TSA and removal of oil subsidy, etc.
He also didn't want to implement policies rashly in order not to cause economic problems.
But those who believe the own Nigeria used lies, propaganda, protests and Boko Haram to frustrate him. Now he's relaxing & smiling. While liars keep telling lies as if it is still campaign period.

Look at them now. £1 = over N610.

TinaAnita:
The truth of the matter is that only a woman knows the biological father of her children. A man cannot be so sure that he is the true father of his supposed children except DNA confirms it. Some women are extremely wicked and heartless I must confess. If she could conceal the truth for 32 years then what stopped her from taking the secret to her grave like someone rightly noted? I sympathize with the victims, father and son.

Thank you.

Over 35% of firstborn kids do not belong to their supposed biological dad. Results from DNA labs.

I have said it for years here now but feminists wanna be never accept.

Women are keeping all these secrets.

Sometimes all the kids belong to different men outside while the woman is married.

I know, the regular excuses women give: The man at home cannot satisfy her so she went outside. His JT is too small, so she went outside.

But when a woman lies in bed like a log of wood and does satisfy a man or she has a punany the size of Lagos Lagoon and the man has no fun doing it, it is still also the man's fault.

The double standard is doing more harm than good for relationships & society.

EdoNation keep doing your thing. Do not mind that bigoted 0oni guy. I do not take him seriously anymore or give him the attention he so seeks.

Keep posting enlightening material here. There are many sensible, objective and discerning people quietly reading. Their problem is that because Benin is today a " minority" tribe, they find it hard to grasp the illustrious history as documented in national museums in London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and other places that I like to go and see from time to time.

One SW guy even once said oyinbo historical records and sketches of Benin of visiting oyinbo those centuries ago were made up.
That is the extent of their desperation.

opal4real:
These are evidence that the real people rule over Lagos knows what it was and what it is.

Instead of these kids to read widely and ask questions from elder but they all come here to display their ignorance by insulting their ancestors. Only a bas.tard points to his fathers house with his left hand.

Thank you.

Lol

See me see wahala o.

Is he on national assignment there?

Who send am go there?

Nor be stupidity carry am go there?

Why can't all the budget for Aso Rock clinic not suufice for his medical check up?

The thing just dey vex me.

Cool.

Aguveso:
Thanks my brother. Lagos creeks is where they have found to pick victims to for ransom. No where is safe. I was shot right inside my car as I tried to move away to save myself. It happened at Igbodu off ikorodu - epe road

Really bad. Thank God.

God protect us.

Just negodu.

Nobody under 60 there. After discounting for football age, nobody under 70 among them.

And we expect the same recycled old crooks to bring anything good, whatever party they belong.

akintom:
A visit to the surgical wards, will give robust evidence to this.

Most of the folks there are bound in pains of DM ulcers. 70% will eventually die within months. About 10% will have amputation done (most of them don't survive it for long, because of severe depression that sets in).

The pains and death that these folks do experience, is strongly connected to late presentation at the hospital.

At the diagnosis of the DM, they disappear from the clinic attendance, and start seeking spiritual healing upandan. When the ulcers start, the spiritualist calls the ulcer a spiritual arrows from imaginary enemies.

This is one of the evil inherent in religious beliefs.

But we cannot allow people to just wallow in so much ignorance.

It's having devastating consequences on families as they lose breadwinners & guardians. Education & apprenticeship are interrupted for many kids, perpetuating & recycling poverty. NMA and FG & States MoH need to step in to enlighten people. At least to save some.

Making appropriate use of allopathic medicine and asking God or gods for healing should not be mutually exclusive. They should be complimentary.

Even Jesus said it is not those who are healthy that need a physician but those who are sick. Mark 2:17.
Apostle Paul advised Timothy "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities". 1 Timothy 5:23.
Even those with power to heal still acknowledged doctors and healing substance, since wine/alcohol kills microbes unlike unclean well/stream water that might have been typically available then.

Abeg is this another Ghollywood film?
