seankay: *World’s First Head Transplant A Success after Nineteen Hour Operation A 36-year-old man has undergone the world’s first successful head transplant. The ground-breaking operation took a team of surgeons 19 hours to complete and has allowed the patient to be cancer-free.
Paul Horner, who was diagnosed with bone cancer five years ago, was on the verge of death when he was approved for the controversial and possibly deadly operation.
Doctor Tom Downey, who was part of the South African team who carried out the operation, told CNN he is thrilled about the results. “It’s a massive breakthrough. We’ve proved that it can be done – we can give someone a brand new body that is just as good, or better, than their previous one.
The success of this operation leads to infinite possibilities.”
Surgeons at Charlotte Maxexe Johannesburg Academic Hospital in SA did the operation in February but had to wait until they could confirm it was successful before they made any public statement.
Downey spoke to reporters on the complexity behind the first ever head transplant. “This procedure is another excellent example of how medical research, technical know-how and patient-centered care can be combined in the quest to relieve human suffering.”
The operation was led by Professor Myron Danus and took place on February 10, 2015.
“Our goal is for Horner to be fully functional in two years and so far we are very pleased by his rapid recovery,” said prof. Danus. “Before the operation, Horner’s body was riddled with cancer and he had less than a month to live. We were fortunate enough to find a donor body; a 21-year-old man who has been brain dead from a serious car accident that happened in 2012. The boys body worked just fine, but his brain was not functioning whatsoever, and there was absolutely no chance of recovery.
He added: “We received approval from the young man’s parents to use their sons body to do the operation. They were extremely happy their son could save a life even in the vegetated state that he was in.”
The man, Horner, has made 85% recovery; walking, talking, doing things a healthy individual does…
I'm unhappy because they didn't walk out of the National Assembly Complex for good. I mean reject their elections as senators if Ekweremadu remains deputy Senate President...and unless that is done i consider their actions clownish
Just play along with him in pretence. By the time he brings out his dick for action, grab it and squeeze it very hard. All you will hear is please i will give you the job

My still hang clearly in my memory...we were in the same class and i was the class prefect...i crush on here for over 3yrs. I wrote i love letter to her only for her to warn me seriously not to repeat it else she will tell our form teacher who as at then was a strict disciplinarian... Out of fear i stop writing the letters but kept on pestering on her. I refused to write her name on the list of noise makers and equally ticked her name on the list of those who did manual labour even when she didn't turn up for it. Pals many things i did to get her consent. At last i won...she later fall yakata and confessed how truly she loved me but the fear of what people will say made her drag me long. It was a nice end! Pardon my grammar as i dey type am amid watching Arsenal vs Everton match

tholuxanny: I received this mail today from GIS due to unavailability during the Inspection in June.
Dear GI-OYO-***-*****, Sequel to the recent monitoring exercise carried out in the month of June 2015 upon which your firm (place of internship) and you were screened by the PIU officers during their visit, the PIU has reached a conclusion based on evidence after the exercise that you are in violation of one or more of the following ethics/code of conduct for eligibility for the Scheme. 1) Age criteria not met (18-40years) 2) No NYSC certificate or Exempt Certificate 3) Non-availability of documents (proof of university degree) 4) Truancy / Bad conduct 5) Non-availability for screening 6) Others as reported by officers… As a result of the above, you are henceforth disengaged as an intern of the GIS and all benefits withdrawn.
all these cases for you alone? Gudluck..sorry Buhari must hear this...probe underway. You must return all the looted stipends before the verification or he we show you the road to Kirikiri
Cleoo: please the source of your information, is it reliable? Cuz this is the first time am hearing it. My internship ended August, but uptill now, no response from Sure-P as regards to our "exit".... Can you drop ur number so I can reach you, thanks.
did u get your august/september stipend? Has ur Oct timesheet marked? Are u an intern in a public or private institution? This is surprising since august!
engrsyer: That's not true unless they are running on an eleven months program. If he was fully paid for November then that's when he's expected to round up by October but if he was half way paid for November or did not receive any dime for November then he's sure of rounding up on 12th of November to crown it one calendar year program. I, my self was matched on the 19th of November and started work on the 20th of November, so I am expecting to end up my program on the 19th or maybe end it in November ending.
Edokpia: . You all can see why no answer to that question,if you that is suppose to pass out by 2morrow has not gotten any exit mail as at today,which means no body has gotten it,and no info,resulting to no comment so make una sedon look jeje,I am sure by next month there will be answer to the question.
Etizz: Ah.... Yours is even close oh, u mean up till now they have not even notify u on d passing our ish? Dis their system Don change o, how do they expect u to get your certificate?

The moringa leaf will the lighter that the UK court will use to jail Deziani Allison Madueke for putting fuel inside snuff box?
INTROVERT: Let me call Francois Hollande to tell Harrysongs that the Swiss account has been credited to buy Victoria's Secret for Silifa that sells dogoyaro at the towers.
and equally him to tell Aisha Buhari to tell Buhari that his Body Odour is disturbing the scent of Banga soup that Oshiomohle wife is preparing...and that primary 3pupil has graduated from university and is promoted to be Vulcanizer
