Great move by Americans.They are steadily increasing innovative activities to make life easier and better for humanity in finding permanent solutions for incurable diseases.
But here, brainwashing by pulpit bandits won't allow many to be innovative like their peers in the Developed world.

I thought Nigeria was the first to record breakthrough in sickle cell treatment.

So what happen to all the report submitted to WHO seeking approval.

Oh I forgot, everything must come from them first.

I think Nigeria needs not to wait for the approval of its discovery by WHO before it starts treating citizens with sickle cell amenia,we don't have to present everything for the approval of the west,it doesn't have to be white for it be to right.

Nothing special about them.
Have you ever wondered why kids in very special private schools perform better than their mates in public schools? It's cis of the enabling environment.
We no get good leaders and most of the citizens are mentally handicapped by poverty or religion.
Fix these and Nigerians will shine.
Over there, once the bank sees potential in your business, they are the ones to approach you for grants and loans. You can have a startup as a nobody and you will flourish.
Can never happen in Nigeria.

The real star are not the superstars themselves, but those who create the stage for the superstars to shine.

It takes a special brain to be a revolutionary leader. Their "enabling environment" didn't just drop down from the sky. They built it.

What Nigeria recorder was not a breakthrough as what they did is also done in the Europe.

Y'd be surprised to find out that this research was funded by a Private Business individual/Entity.
In Nigeria, the only thing our Business people know is to Import. Even if other parts of the World pause development for 200 years, ain't sure we will Catch up.
We have pharmacists, Doc among many ...

If you give them research grants, They will go & build us in their GRA & marry second wife ....

We are not knowledge savvy here just certificate & make monies that's all ....

SS is mostly African Thing & Na Oyinbo go still do Research for US.....

How many Billionaire really cares to fund Sickel Cell Research in Africa & How Many Health Care Professionals really desired to Carry out the Research....

Give them money, Dem go Japa Straight & Dissappear Forever ...

Me thinks this is a welcomed development, but I'm always skeptical about anything that has to do with gene alteration

They've been altering genes since more than 30 years now. So far no one has turned into a zombie.

If you travel to the US, chances are 80% of the veggies you consume are genetically modified, or Franken Food.

They'll infuse religious nonsense into any such research, call it ungodly, and rile the masses.

They finally find the need to treat sickle cell patients? Wow this is long overdue

What do you mean?

Sickle cell is not even their problem. Yet did they more than the people it mainly affects. Why didn't Africans come up with this solution?
