Well, to sum up...nowadays, an AS and AS can have all AA via IVF techniques.

My palaver is that if we do that for every AS couple...we may eliminate the HBS gene...which may have some unknown implications for humanity's genetic future...and no I'm not joking.

theoldpretender:
Ah, I see you were talking about SCD

Regarding SCD

1.Nowadays, AS copules are counselled. If they go ahead...

2.An AS and an AS copule can have all 'normal' children either by IVF...or even naturally.

3.SS can be cured by stem cell transplants...although that is in the early stage.

4.SS kids with high level of Factor F (kids who have a genetic mutation that makes them produce fetal hemoglobin)...can live a normal life.

there are many hiv discordant couples out there

Just saying

Stop spreading falsehood. As long as she adhere to her medication, the chances of infectioning her husband or even her child is near zero. Confirm by research

theoldpretender:
Regarding HIV,

1. Once you test positive, you start medications. Now, we have new ARV that help keep the viral load very low..it does not clear it, but it keeps it low

2.If your load is low, chances of spreading the HIV fall

3.Husband can use condom. If he and Madam want the kids...he can remove the condom...and they can get it on, and he can always take PEP

4.Madam can have HIV free kids so long as she is on her ARV, and so long as the child gets some ARV (once ) after birth. Having a CS also improves protection for baby. Again, breastfeeding is now allowed.

HIV care has improved over the last 20 years.

MrBrownJay1:
bro, again, educate yourself on the issue so i dont have to do it for you.... there is a cure for sickle cell anemia, which is Bone marrow transplant, also known as stem cell transplant.... and as much as it aint cheap nor easy, it is a cure indeed!!!!

MrBrownJay1:
there is nothing logical about marriage, yet many do it anyway. life is ALL about emotions, if YOU dont "feel" right about doing something, then whether good/bad/or even logical, you shouldnt do it. without emotions, we are all but brainless machines.

but hey, if i really was gonna follow logic out of everything in life, i would have never left my parents house were i had ate for free, slept for free, and was cherished like i was a king.

MrBrownJay1:
well, they can still get married and have a wonderful life together (they will just have to be very careful)...

If he were to come from Nigeria, he can never ever be poor as Ex-Head of State whether he stole while in power or not. Go and check what this country is paying all past Nigerian leaders monthly or yearly as the case may be including coup plotters that committed treason by subverting the mandate of the people.

Nigeria is probably the only country in the world that pay coup plotters in the name of being Ex-Head of States. Useless country

So analysis have changed on how Atiku lost the presidential elections. Pdp supporters are now questioning why the low votes in presidential elections for Pdp compared to high votes for governorship elections in Sokoto and Kano.

Me wondering if they are the same Kwankwanso and Tambuwal they are tipping for presidency in 2023 against Southern candidates .

Ayam not understanding

LuckyLadolce:
Kano election has been one of the most controversial since the beginning of 2019 elections and till this moment, the election process in the state seems to be filled with all sort of irregularities and alleged manipulations by the two major parties in the country.

As reported by Sahara reporters, a man identified as Nasir Mansur Mohammed who is one of the voters in Kano during the elections rerun was violently attacked by hoodlums carrying weapons when he went to exercise his constitutional franchise at Santulma Primary School Polling unit Gama Ward.

Nasir said he was saved by "good samaritans" who took him to the hospital where he spent three hours in admission, snitched and discharged.

In his words: "Alhamdulillah. I survived. I was violently attacked by thugs at Santulma Primary School polling unit at Gama Ward in Kano today Saturday."

Is the fraud called elections in Nigeria worth dying for? I don't think so. Lessons learnt." Nasiru said.

6. Befriend the government.

Secretly fund elections of all major parties. He wins either way. Then use your new-found closeness to the government to get favors, kill competition and create a monopoly.

That's Dangote in one sentence. Bloody croony capitalist.

Please Google the boldened.

babaolofin:
Nobody is talking about closeness to the corridor of power not having its benefits. Joseph the Arimathea who collected the body of Jesus for burial was a man of influence and affluence and known by Pilate.In business, you must be close to decision makers at a certain point. Bill Clinton had problems with rich farmers as Arkansas governor, he lost . Years later, he was supported by the same people to return as governor. The farmers must protect their interests and that of the state.

This is quite different from crude & uncivilized posting of cement importation where you have Dangote having port facilities for repackaging larger by far than Ibeto facility in PortHarcourt. BUA, Flour Mills & others have those facilities but supported local production. Lafarge has the largest cement factories in Europe but invested locally in Nigeria instead of importing from any of their factories in Europe to repackage in Nigeria, yet, a Nigerian company and her kinsmen will continue to cry foul over government decision to ban importation. What about other companies affected?

this punk has turned this to a tribal thing

babaolofin:
This is a typical IBO submission. Very parochial , self delusion and highly illogical. The case of Ibeto cement is one of the several cases of Jonathan and Okonjo - Iweala gross mismanagement of our economy and aiding & abetting of their kinsmen to loot Nigeria.

Ibeto does not manufacture Cement but only does packaging of imported cement from its PortHarcourt jetty as at this time. I am not sure if it has started in 2019.

Several companies carry out packaging of imported cement for several years. These companies include Flour Mills of Nigeria, Dangote, Yinka Folawiyo & several others. Yinka Folawiyo has been packaging cement before Eagle cement Port Harcourt when Ibeto cement was not even in existence. Dangote cement, Isiyaku Rabiu & Sons (BUA), Flour Mills (FMN), Folawiyo & some others have facilities & investment in cement packaging bigger than Ibeto cement.

When Obj banned cement importation, it affected all the importers. The IBOs attacked Obj severely using various paid electronic & print media claiming the ban was because of Ibeto cement. Obj is now their favourite because of Atiku.

The ban was in force when Yaradua assumed leadership. After his death, when GEJ assume full leadership, while other companies invested billion of dollars on local production & employed hundreds of thousand of people, GEJ gave Ibeto approval to resume packaging of imported cement in PortHarcourt. Naturally, this stopped immediately PMB assume leadership.

Till date, other companies affected have diversified or invested on local production, but the Ibeto kinsmen will never allow us to rest

You you know any other business lesson one can learn from Dangote? Kindly contribute.

All Progressives Congress in Osun has rejected the judgment of the Election Petition Tribunal verdict that declared Adeleke the winner of the 2018 governorship election in the state.

APC, in a terse message sent to our correspondent by the party’s spokesperson, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said, “‘The verdict cannot stand superior legal scrutiny. Therefore we will appeal against it.”

The Kebbi State Government is partnering with the Federal Government under the Solid Minerals Development Fund (SMDF) on formalization of Artisinal Miners in the State for Gold production with the support of Columbia University, New York, USA.

The Governor, Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu in a meeting with SMDF led by Hajia Fatima Shinkafi and Columbia University on March 21 in Abuja stated that his administration is supporting a pilot programme to organise & support miners to give them better technology and an available market. The pilot programmes approved by President Buhari will commence in Kebbi & Osun States.


The Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs Team will aid the SMDF in fulfilling its objectives by developing a report that analyzes the challenges preventing formalization of Artisanal & Small Scale Mining (ASM) in Nigeria and suggests ways for the SMDF to incentivize formalization through a strategic use of its capital resources.

A world bank report puts the outflow of illegally mined gold leaving Nigeria at $500m a year. This represents a huge revenue loss for both State and Federal governments in addition to environmental degradation to farming communities and pollution of waterways for people and livestock.

Special focus will be placed on how the SMDF can work with other institutions in accordance with section 34 of the 2007 Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act to register formalize operators and how the SMDF can leverage its financial capital to provide funding and/or services to support the ASM value chain.


Governor Bagudu reiterated his administrations continued focus on creating jobs and support for the diversification of the economy which is a priority of the Buhari administration. It can be recalled that the Governor is an alumnus of Columbia University where he obtained his M.A in International Affairs.

The National Population Commission has said the next census will cost well over N220bn.

The Director-General of the NPC, Dr. Ghaji Ismail, said this in Abuja on Tuesday at the commencement of fieldwork for the continuation of the Enumeration Area Demarcation.

He said the 2015 budget for the proposed 2016 census which eventually did not take place was put at N220bn.

Ismail said with currency devaluation and inflation rates, the commission would require much more than N220bn to conduct a census.

The DG said,

“How much will it cost? At this point in time it is going to be very difficult because there have been changes. It is not something you can say off hand but if we deduce from our previous submission in 2015 hoping that it would take place in 2016, a lot has changed in terms of currency devaluation but if we are to use the 2015 submission, we are looking at a submission of over N220bn.”

Ismail said although the 2019 budget proposal had no provision for a census, a separate budget could be submitted for the exercise.

It was not because of china that US had to ground the Boeing 737 max but because of its senators who have been pressurising Trump these past weeks to ground it down. There was a comment that trump made last week which gave out the impression that the crash of the plane was no mechanical fault but a human error from the pilots. He only had to reluctantly give d order to ground d planes cos of d pressure he's been gettin frm d senators.

jude33084:
Oga that wasn't the reason the united state grounded them


This issue have been on ground since last year


It is not safe to fly a plane you don't know when it will nose dive next


The angle of attack is deceptive and misleading

Boeing is trying to cover their ass


As a pilot you follow checklist whenever there is an emergency

But the the way to tackle such incident wasn't in the checklist?

Boeing should apologise to the world

Nickizoe:
.


That's just so silly of them.
Blaming the dead.
They're just looking for an excuse so that their planes would be back to air in no time.

The pilot who flew the Ethiopian airlines Boeing 737 MAX which crashed was reportedly untrained with the simulator, as claimed by his colleague. According to the deceased's colleague, 29-year-old Yared Getachew, who was the pilot of the Ethiopian Airline Boeing 737 MAX which crashed was untrained on 737 MAX simulator, as he was reportedly due for a  refresher training at the end of March. This training was scheduled to hold, two months after Ethiopian Airlines had received the simulator. 


The March 10 crash alongside the MAX 8 crash in Indonesia in October, reportedly set off one of the biggest inquiries in the aviation history. NAN reported that inquiries focused on whether pilots were sufficiently versed on a new automated systems, as in both cases, the pilots lost control soon after take-off and fought a losing battle to stop their jets plunging down.
