And pls guys,like this ogbonge page on fb https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1435957329990769

We can fix one at my place I for like give you welcome kiss but Ebola is not smiling these days. If I see your pic, I fit reconsider sha

Is this BSc / BEng argument why we are here You guys should create a new thread to thrash out the issue. Over 2 pages on the same argument..smh

sydneyobioha: Goodday everyone.. A friend just introduced me to this educating forum. I'm also an awardee, mine is in Enugu on 13th.. pls my question is "Are we suppose to type the responses to the questions directly inside the template boxes or do we type it in a separate sheet (MS word document)"? Thanks!

I think that's what the space underneath each question is meant for. It's just logical to type it in there.

Welcome to Nairaland

Emasel: I got a mail yesterday night

What's the mail about?

Blockus: Erm... Fhuck Africa!




The White man started researching the disease not because they wanted to cure Africans but to protect the White Man incase some Infidels decide to use this Virus as a Biological agent against them.

That's what I believe. They just used Africa as a testing ground so they can play the hero. And if the world acknowledges that only the Americans have the cure, it'll be one more thing they'll be feared for as world power in terms of biological weapons of warfare.

Saw this article on Washington Post this morning...what do you guys think?
*********

What should happen if a massive viral outbreak appears out of nowhere and the only possible treatment is an untested drug? And who should receive it? The two American missionaries who contracted the almost-always-fatal virus in West Africa were given access to an experimental drug cocktail called ZMapp. It consists of immune-boosting monoclonal antibodies that were extracted from mice exposed to bits of Ebola DNA.  Now in isolation at an Atlanta hospital, they appear to be doing well.

It’s an opportunity the 900 Africans who’ve died so far never had. Is there a case to suspend ethical norms if lives might be saved by deploying an experimental drug?

The reasons for different treatment are partly about logistics, partly about economics and, partly about a lack of any standard policy for giving out untested drugs in emergencies. Before this outbreak, ZMapp had only been tested on monkeys. Mapp, the tiny, San Diego based pharmaceutical company that makes the drug stated two years ago: “When administered one hour after infection [with Ebola], all animals survived…Two-thirds of the animals were protected even when the treatment, known as Zmapp, was administered 48 hours after infection.”

But privileged humans were always going to be the first ones to try it. ZMapp requires a lot of refrigeration and careful handling, plus close monitoring by experienced doctors and scientists—better to try it at a big urban hospital than in rural West Africa, where no such infrastructure exists .

And because of the drug’s experimental nature, it’s unclear that it should go to anyone else. Even if the drug is cooled correctly, success in a few monkeys (less than 20) tells us little about what will happen in a lot of humans who’d had the infection for more than two days. No one knows how much drug to give, how often, what other pre-existing medical conditions might influence its efficacy or even what route is best, be it IV, pill, syrup, or even surgically right into the liver. With an untested drug, there is always a chance you will kill the first human subject who might otherwise have lived. And the two Americans who got it in Africa had been infected for more than a week, making its efficacy completely unknown. Still, because they are a small group in such a carefully controlled setting, they are better candidates for the drug than others might be.

But it’s about more than logistics. Drugs based on monoclonal antibodies usually cost a lot—at least tens of thousands of dollars. This is obviously far more than poor people in poor nations can afford to pay; and a tiny company won’t enthusiastically give away its small supply of drug for free. It is likely that if they were going to donate drugs, it would be to people who would command a lot of press attention and, thus, investors and government money for further research—which is to say, not to poor Liberians, Nigerians or Guineans.

The medical missionaries got the experimental drug because the evangelical Christian International Relief organization they work for, Samaritan’s Purse, reached out to the CDC and the NIH to find out if there was any drug to give to them. They were referred to Mapp Pharmaceuticals and evidently struck some kind of deal to get the drug to their employees who were in Africa at the time. (Technically, African health ministries could make a similar request.) The FDA has little oversight over what goes on abroad, and the federal government has no program to consider appeals for use—much less payment—of experimental drugs that have only been tried on animals. Without an organization pushing, no one might have received access to any sort of treatment. The chance of a poor African getting an experimental drug is about the same as Donald Trump contracting Ebola (which is apparently his greatest current fear).

Even if logistical and economic obstacles could be surmounted, is there a case for giving Zmapp to Africans still dying from Ebola? Many Africans were infected more recently than the Americans now being treated in Atlanta, so they better fit the conditions in which the drug was tried in the monkey lab.

But there is no accepted set of rules for a sick person to request compassionate access to drug that is experimental, expensive, and in short supply. And access to experimental drugs remains a long shot full of risk. While the American Ebola patients gave their consent, and while most people would want to do something rather than nothing, the decision about gaining access is more in the hands of the drug manufacturer than the would-be subject. The dying may feel more cavalier about entering a drug experiment—the rewards (life) could justify the risks (since death approaches anyway)—but  a company may still withhold a drug from a willing volunteer for fear that it will fail and reduce investor interest or increase attention from malpractice attorneys.

An ethical case can surely be made for an organization that puts health-care workers in harm’s way to acquire access to experimental drugs and bring staff home to get the best possible care. But that is neither a fair nor just policy for deciding what to do when an emergency arises and rationing is the only option. This Ebola outbreak has taught us two things: that we need to act quickly to shut down emerging epidemics wherever they occur, and it is long past time to have a transparent public policy about what to do when not everyone gets a chance to live.

CoolKizzy: Mine is 13th Enugu. Anybody with me?

Mine is a day after, 14th!

Just got an invitation for the test on the 9th.

Bloody photoshop! The one in the center made it so obvious.

ggrin: EBOLA wahala.

Girls no longer hug their guys, the highest they
give nowadays is 45` instead of the normal 360

* Guys are now afraid to shake their fellow guys
instead they throw way salutes like soldiers.(Na their fault?)

* People now wear long sleave sweaters, headcovers, and trousers while entering buses
and taxi no matter how hot the weather is.. (See as Naija take turn Europe)

* Neighbours, even family members become suspects at the slightest sign of illness..(the one wey nearly make my neighbour go call health officers for me because say I sneeze 2 times today).

* You take a girl out for dinner, drive her back to
her house, walk her to the door-step, she leaves
you,walks to her door, open it, waves at you and throw a goodnight kiss at you (if you like catch am)

* The aboki that sells suya beside our house dey
chop Him suya himself these days because even
the suya is a suspect (Who wan die?)

* Nigeria Police don't arrest People by Themselves anymore, if You commit any Crime just do the
arresting by Yourself.(Just Handcuff yourself
come station, use ur hand by self enter Cell):D8)

* My friend is no longer dating our Neighbor's
Daughter called ADEBOLA

* YORUBA People in My Area now greet EKU EBOLA O.(I dey answer them EKU BACK TO
SENDER)

Chaii

this is now getting really scary. I saw on TVC that the doctor is now dead. God knows how many other patients the he made contact with. I'm hoping he was among those quarantined.

As if our present security situation is not enough problem to deal with ....smh

God save Nigeria!

Lol..they're just trying to make themselves feel important Nigeria has only one recorded case of Ebola. The worst they should have done is screening people at the airports and not banning flights totally.
Na dem sabi...they should better focus on keeping their citizens from seeking asylum in other countries.

Use instant messengers like bbm or whatsapp. Call only when necessary. Naija sef...una too like talk

samik900: pls can u forward d invite t me!samike901@yahoo.com

Wow! Every bit of this writeup describes me.
Nice work!

Well said! Wizkid is talented but I feel the fame and fortune has gotten to his head. Attitude makes or mar a man. I'd have expected Davido to be more arrogant due to his background, but that's ironically not the case. I think he's even older than Davido, so I wonder why he behaves in such a childish manner. The nigga should just chill

Got the invitation. Email got forwarded to like 156 persons. Don't want to believe that's the total number invited tho. However, anyone with an idea of their test format?..and I hope this 50k rumor I'm hearing is not true

Nice. Hope they've also disposed of the aircraft seat that conveyed him and screened people that sat on it just to be doubly sure

Well he made very good points, thanks to some research he made which most of those blackheads in the house of reps cannot do. But we all know what will eventually happen...GEJ will get this approval one way or the other, else heads will roll

Nice!

1stola: 2 and 7
= Bullshït

I quite agree with you. Those words even as cliche as they are are very important. Most employers run search for these keywords on their CV database to either shortlist candidates for tests or get a handful of Resumes for review, which could eventually land you an interview opportunity.
Even though you personal information has nothing to do with the job, I feel it gives you 'a face'. It doesn't say much about what you can do but it's better off not left out.

Imagine holding down equipment that would have significantly improved power transmission and distribution around the country because of inability to pay the required clearing costs and accumulated demurrage. That's a very stupid reason if you ask me.
Wasn't PHCN owned and run by FG before being privatized? Who runs the Nigeria Customs? Isn't it FG too So how sensible is it for FG to earn Revenue from FG?

There's just one thing killing this country- CORRUPTION!

I think there's been some sketchy physical evidence of UFOs here on earth. So alien existence might be possible.

However, that's non of my business.

Carlos and Bill Gates, I'm coming for ya both!

I'd like to have 4 (preferably 2 boys and 2 girls) no more, no less.

teenidol: Small dimples.. i think

Cute

An easier way would have been to multiply the right hand side by itself (i.e 5 x 5 = 25) then multiply the left number by the next higher number (e.g 2 x 3 = 6)

Therefore,

25 x 25 = 625
35 x 35 = 1225...etc
