Hi people
I have a problem with my tecno L8 lite, got it around April from Fine Brothers.
It have been very difficult, even impossible for me to log in my account in some apps with the phone, I have noticed this problem with 3 apps; Reddit, IG and twitter.
Secondly, when I minimize some apps and try to reopen them, It relaunches and I lose any progress I have made. This have been going on for a while, I don't think it has anything to do with the network.
The picture below is the message I get any time I try to use my IG app....I have uninstalled and installed, I have even deleted and downloaded.
Please help me mention anyone who can help.

What rubbish!!! The South African ambassador to Nigeria must be summoned! Seems South Africans want to bite the hand that feeds them........

Sharrap...feed fire!

So sad!
I feel so bad now, to think that I was part of those that canvassed vote for this government.
I'm filled with regret... This will go down as one of the biggest mistake in my life.

Nollywood...I know u you not dissapoint me.
Still waiting for the movie

Scientists have, for the first time, successfully freed embryos of a piece of faulty DNA that causes deadly heart disease to run in families.

It potentially opens the door to preventing 10,000 disorders that are passed down the generations.

The US and South Korean team allowed the embryos to develop for five days before stopping the experiment.

The study hints at the future of medicine, but also provokes deep questions about what is morally right.

Science is going through a golden age in editing DNA thanks to a new technology called Crispr, named breakthrough of the year in just 2015.

Its applications in medicine are vast and include the idea of wiping out genetic faults that cause diseases from cystic fibrosis to breast cancer.

Heart stopper

US teams at Oregon Health and Science University and the Salk Institute along with the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea focused on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The disorder is common, affecting one in every 500 people, and can lead to the heart suddenly stopping beating.

It is caused by an error in a single gene (an instruction in the DNA), and anyone carrying it has a 50-50 chance of passing it on to their children.

In the study, described in the journal Nature, the genetic repair happened during conception.

Sperm from a man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was injected into healthy donated eggs alongside Crispr technology to correct the defect.

It did not work all the time, but 72% of embryos were free from disease-causing mutations.

Eternal benefit

Dr Shoukhrat Mitalipov, a key figure in the research team, said: "Every generation on would carry this repair because we've removed the disease-causing gene variant from that family's lineage.

"By using this technique, it's possible to reduce the burden of this heritable disease on the family and eventually the human population."

There have been multiple attempts before, including, in 2015, teams in China using Crispr-technology to correct defects that lead to blood disorders.

But they could not correct every cell, so the embryo was a "mosaic" of healthy and diseased cells.

Their approach also led to other parts of the genetic code becoming mutated.

Those technical obstacles have been overcome in the latest research.

However, this is not about to become routine practice.

The biggest question is one of safety, and that can be answered only by far more extensive research.

There are also questions about when it would be worth doing - embryos can already be screened for disease through pre-implantation genetic diagnosis.

However, there are about 10,000 genetic disorders that are caused by a single mutation and could, in theory, be repaired with the same technology.

Prof Robin Lovell-Badge, from the Francis Crick Institute, told the BBC: "A method of being able to avoid having affected children passing on the affected gene could be really very important for those families.

"In terms of when, definitely not yet. It's going to be quite a while before we know that it's going to be safe."

Nicole Mowbray
Nicole Mowbray lives with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and has a defibrillator implanted in her chest in case her heart stops.

But she is unsure whether she would ever consider gene editing: "I wouldn't want to pass on something that caused my child to have a limited or painful life.

"That does come to the front of my mind when I think about having children.

"But I wouldn't want to create the 'perfect' child, I feel like my condition makes me, me."

Ethical?

Darren Griffin, a professor of genetics at the University of Kent, said: "Perhaps the biggest question, and probably the one that will be debated the most, is whether we should be physically altering the genes of an IVF embryo at all.

"This is not a straightforward question... equally, the debate on how morally acceptable it is not to act when we have the technology to prevent these life-threatening diseases must also come into play."

The study has already been condemned by Dr David King, from the campaign group Human Genetics Alert, which described the research as "irresponsible" and a "race for first genetically modified baby".

Dr Yalda Jamshidi, a reader in genomic medicine at St George's University of London, said: "The study is the first to show successful and efficient correction of a disease-causing mutation in early stage human embryos with gene editing.

"Whilst we are just beginning to understand the complexity of genetic disease, gene-editing will likely become acceptable when its potential benefits, both to individuals and to the broader society, exceeds its risks."

The method does not currently fuel concerns about the extreme end of "designer babies" engineered to have new advantageous traits.

The way Crispr is designed should lead to a new piece of engineered DNA being inserted into the genetic code.

However, in a complete surprise to the researchers, this did not happen.

Instead, Crispr damaged the mutated gene in the father's sperm, leading to a healthy version being copied over from the mother's egg.

This means the technology, for now, works only when there is a healthy version from one of the parents.

Prof Lovell-Badge added: "The possibility of producing designer babies, which is unjustified in any case, is now even further away."

Just left fire service junction now....u can count the number of living things there

shaqhead:
@obizeal hw far...saw a notification that you sent me mail but u kno how it is with sending mail from nland...I didn't get ur mail o.. watsup....u get connect for me?

Boss na u go connect me o...I need your assistance with some online stuffs
Maybe I should drop my number or you drop yours (if you don't mind) let's talk on WhatsApp

That's not ijele

NYSC permanent orientation camp Awgu, ENUGU state is the worst place any human being can live in at the moment. Core members have to take their bath with water from the stream!

Boss platoon 6 is the winning platoon, thats where i belongü Takia!

Time will tell....we no dey shout

gpranky:
Out for parade dis morning! Enugu camp there is light in some hostels but no socket for charging, the bathroom n toilet not too clean, charging of phones #50 per charge. Mami Market #300 per plate. I belongs to Platoon 6, Hoste K.

Lets go there!

Repping from platoon 1, Army hostel...

Enugu Orientation Camp have no respect for the minorities!
How can this Lady start conducting fellowship here...not everyone is a christian.

Enugu....042 just wait for this Jos boy!

Haychay:
For where fa

one of my hommie say one of him Hausa course mate from FUT Yola post him callup for their whatsapp group

Abeg Na true say some people don dey see their callup?

With her voice like davido own...

I followed the whole event with joy and admiration ( albeit online). It gives me a great deal of hope for this continent... At least we still have people that are proud of their culture and have allowed little dilution from the foreign religions and the west.
I wish I was from Edo right now!

Thunder go still fire Unijos sha...

We have seen it all in this country...

Waiting for you to quote that Quran verse or forever take your lies somewhere.

My question is very straight forward. Quran verse I said not Hadith? Don't deviate.

Even in the Hadith He married her @9 not 6. He was engaged to her @6. And married her when she attains puberty @9.

Shameless liar.

Bro! Are u sick...9 years old? What's the difference between 6 and 9
Someone married a 9 years old girl....9 asin nine and you see nothing wrong with that.... Mehn this is frustrating...

Graduate from which university?

Price range?

@op the easiest way to locate this guy is to facebook and search for his details with the full name stated onn his nysc certificate and also paste dis as well on his wall page, somehw, someone, somewhere might see dis and help pass the information to him.

Thanks boss...I guess this post was not well typed...the guy is my friend... He is actually looking for the bag...got a call this evening from someone in onitsher who claims to have found the bag...thanks man

Na helicopter him won use go?
