Are these forest guards armed with modern guns and munitions? Let's hope they are not using Dane guns or so-called Shaka bula

Those treatments are ridiculously expensive even for African Americans - the major beneficiaries of the invention, let alone poor Africans who make up the biggest sufferers.

Don't underestimate the ability of the OP to gain the financial freedom that will enable him to afford an expensive therapy. Besides, these kinds of therapies could become very affordable within the next 5 years.

OP, for your information there are already approved gene therapies, and several curative-intent trials are in process in places like the USA.

Casgevy (CRISPR-based) and Lyfgenia (lentiviral) received FDA approval in December 2023. Both use your own edited stem cells and are generally for severe disease.

A matched-donor stem cell transplant is the longest-established cure, but it depends on finding a suitable donor.

Given the advent of AI in medicine, in the next 5 years treatment that will cure it may become readily available worldwide.

If I were you, I'd hold this lady very tightly.

Oga, it is not yet Uhuru. I can still see 2 boils in your 'after picture. The boils are unnatural and don't belong there. Go and see a Dermatologist for proper treatment.

Na the guy and worms dey eat together na

May their souls RIP.

An ailment of mental illness may be the culprit. Normal humans wouldn't take their own lives in this manner.

“I bought fuel yesterday in Toronto, Canada, at $1.7999 CAD per litre, and it cost about $98.95 CAD to fill up my tank. This should ideally last me about a week or more.

Now, the minimum wage in Canada is $17.95 CAD per hour, which means someone who works an average of 8 hours a day will earn $143.60 CAD before tax. A day's salary is enough to fuel his or her car for 2–3 weeks. This means that even one of the lowest earners in Canada can afford to own and drive a car daily without the cost of fuel becoming an overwhelming burden. Public education for children is also free and of high quality.

In Nigeria, fuel is about ₦1,300 per litre. It would cost about ₦88,000 to fill up a similar tank. The minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦70,000 per month. This means that an entire month's minimum wage cannot even fill the tank once.

A minimum-wage earner in Nigeria cannot realistically afford to own, fuel, and maintain a car. The same person still has to afford food, rent, children's education, healthcare, electricity, transportation, and other basic necessities. The list goes on.

In fact, even a bank manager in Nigeria earning ₦1 million monthly could still struggle to maintain a decent standard of living after covering these basic expenses.

This is one reason poverty is so widespread in Nigeria. The cost of basic living is simply too high relative to what the average person earns.

You don't just have an income problem in Nigeria. You have an affordability problem.

For millions of Nigerians, simply living a decent life has become too expensive and increasingly impossible.”

This is something Yarimo, Helinues, Seunmsg, Richtaiwo, Omenka, Ngeneukwuenu, Legendhero, Wickedtruths, FSBoperator, Madridguy, Ttalk, Chopnaira, Slytiger, Ibrahimcoomasie and Guestmale won't be able to comprehend

Why do you folks like yo compare our great country Nigeria to developed countries like Canada.

You are likely in Canada because you happen to have been born into privilege. You could have been a victim as well and living in an IDP camp if you had been less fortunate.

Having said that, you are comparing apples to oranges. Believe it or not, you are part of the problems of Nigeria.

Try to invest in the country one way or the other and make your own little contribution towards making Nigeria great.

Canadians did not build Canada from diaspora - learn from them.

If I sound a bit harsh, no vex. Dalu o.

Nansense!!!

What bacteria will survive the hot 🔥 boiling temperature needed to cook rice?

There was the Niger delta militants vandalizing and stealing oils from pipelines. Also, the local armed groups stealing oils for production of black market finished products, which is still very a present day problem

If you stayed in ph, you would know that there’s always been violence in these communities with oils.

I venture to say that these vandalism and violence has been basically put in manageable check.

Would you rather have illegal mining and decimation of villages, not to mention kidnapping to support the said illegality?

Expecting another Diss piece from Rarara, 1st thing in the morning.

Hungrychicken:
That would only cause more regional conflicts, as everyone would want a piece of the minerals. More armed rabels and violence will ensue

What regional conflict was caused when everyone was and is still getting a piece of the South South oil?

This is the best news I've heard all year. The illegal mining activities are supported by terrorism including kidnapping, and outright murder of indigens to drive them away from their land.

When US legitimate mining activities are occurring, let's see how the murderous terrorists will operate.

Let the Chinese and others make their own deals as well. We'll be better of for it.

Why fight the release of all related documents if all is well?

wellmax:
This one is still talking about black market. Black market is non existent unless you decide to patronise them.

Even the official exchange rate to "support" international trade is over $1 / 1335.

So what point are you making.

I trust you have the capability to succinctly express yourself. I await your response.

If the FX supply has increased by 20%, may I ask why the $ to Naira exchange rate remains woefully weak. Black market rates are still almost $1 / 1390 naira?

Voodoo economics is what this is called.

Pardon my ignorance, but who will pay these so-called illegal miners, who are their employers, and who buys their minerals?

If you folks are insinuating that #1 million or more is needed to secure a Federal job, then you are part of the problems faced in this great country.

How can you people accept this as normal?

With this attitude, you'll remain subservient to the elite

Firms like Von Batten-Montague-York are known to make money from either side of a coin.

This may be another master stroke arranged to get your hopes high.

You may be disappointed to see that Trump will meet with Tinubu and in the end Tinubu will come out smelling like roses.

Trump is transactional and his wish to get his hands into our rare earth minerals, trumps any inconvenience of meeting Tinubu.

In as much as there are billions of dollars at stake, Trump will be all in

Ndume has a point.

The incapable hands are also responsible for known terrorist sympathizers to be walking free in this great country.

“Before now, I used to visit the CBN every two weeks to lobby for FX, to survive,” —BUA speaks on the stability in Nigeria's foreign exchange markets under President

When the Presidency creates the conditions that will strengthen the naira to $1 <= 1000 naira, I'll be impressed.

Our imported goods remain expensive hence the masses continue to pay higher prices for food and other products since most of our foods, building materials etc are imported.

Strengthen of the naira should be top priority.

There is nothing wrong with paying operatives to seize control of the narrative on social media for the benefit of politicians.

Businesses routinely pay for endorsement.

In as much as those operatives are not distorting facts, all if fair in politics, according to oga at the top.

Double wahala for dedi bodi.

Flooded cars imported from abroad have now been flooded anew in Abuja.

Car buyers, shine your eyes very well before shelling out millions of naira.

I'd strongly recommend allocating a duplex in the Renewed Hope estate, currently being built in Karsana area of Abuja, just outside Gwarimpa, to this wonderful man.

Wike, over to you.

Mathewrichard99:
Where are you getting this great news from bro?

IReV.

I have a vested interest in Nigeria's future so every entry made on thar website is tracked judiciously.

Adeleke is now the overwhelming favorite based on the IReV numbers.

The lead has actually increased from approximately 55,950 to 69,055 votes as more results have been uploaded.

With a 69,055-vote deficit, Oyebamiji needs to gain a net 69,056 votes over Adeleke from the outstanding results to overtake him.

That is extremely difficult given the relatively small number of polling units remaining.

Congratulations to Adeleke in advance 👏

The evangelist has a point.

However, the temptation affects men more than women.

Men's external organs can have minds of their own. Sometimes ordinary wind can blow the wrong way and give a man errection much more when men see a scantily clad female

It is very difficult to implement meaningful economic and security reforms within a 4-year presidency term, if we are to be honest.

We really need a constitutional amendment to change the system to a single 6-year term.

Tinubu has made good strides in economic reforms and his government should be allowed to see them through.

Nigeria may be better off for it. Unfortunately, neither Atiku or Obi has proffered alternative or better programs than Tinubu.

P.S. I don't give a gaddem which party is in power. I am only interested in a better Nigeria.

Why didn't Amaechi submit these degrees to INEC?

We're they audio drgrees?degrees? His law degree was reported in newspapers

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/566405-amaechi-graduates-with-law-degree.html?tztc=1

Bachelor of Laws (LL.B): Awarded with a Second Class Upper division from Baze University in Abuja, Nigeria, on November 19, 2022.

Master of Laws (LL.M): Completed with merit in International Corporate and Commercial Law from King's College London in the United Kingdom, spanning from November 1, 2022, to February 3, 2025.

Tinubu and APC will soon file for Anaechi's disqualification based on inaccurate data provided to INEC.

Razorman:
unfounded allegation indeed. It is like u don't know people who stay in that LGA area are in this forum. Do u expect the fed govt to publicize the ransom payment? Oga, go to Pulka and Gwoza in Borno South, then u will understand whether ransom was paid or not.

In civilized environments, hearsay is not enough to be taken as gospel.

The man said he can back up his claims. What's wrong with allowing him to do so in a lawful manner?

Kaigama made serious allegations against Ndume, Bornu government and the federal government.

Those allegations have national security implications.

The arrest is in order and will enable Kaigama to prove his allegations in court.

Let's not jump to unfounded conclusions yet. The real truth will come out soon enough and our dear country will be better off for it.

Simply beautiful and full of relevant subliminal messages.

We will find out soon enough that the purported letter from Trump to Tinubu was orchestrated by lobbyists.

Trump doesn't have time to be drafting nonsensical congratulatory letters to Tinubu.

Tinubu’s handlers should be very careful before they send our president to visit the white house.

Trump may embarrass Tinubu. That Trump no get decorum at all
