Mad people. As if this is the most logical way of funding research. How much have they proposed as prize money for the researcher that find the cure for malaria. "Awon were dede yi"

36m out of which 30m wld be used to bribe different pple b4 the money comes out!!

Alakoba government. Na so Dem go use style bring Corona virus come Nigeria using Nigeria scientist as excuse. evil government

LadySwitz:


Lmao

A wise Nigerian Scientist will have the FG sign an agreement first. Shikena!

This federal govt?? Sign agreement? Even after signing, na lie!

LadySwitz:
Way to go! Though this should have come earlier.

Thumbs up 2 d Minister of Health.

Believe them to your peril! Where dem see the moni?

Whistle blowers wey see moni korokoro, dem no gree give the guy him share wey dem promise am until the guy hire lawyer....even on top on that, dem still cheat the guy las las.

That's misplaced priority. First of all, how will they test the efficacy of their discoveries? And how will they know it works unless the have an infected patients or the sample of the virus to test it with? How will they get the virus sample to test? You will end of having people who work for their selfish interest thereby working against the interests of the general public.

This is an unworkable solution.

Why not call for the assembly of the best scientist and biochemist in Nigeria, give them a good lap, feed them, provide 24 hrs electricity with the best electronic gadgets and laboratory equipments and have them work together towards having a solution to the virus?

Common, who advises these people self? They need better advisers.

That is the price we pay for making slowpokes leaders.

Kylekent59:
Oya ooooo

Where them doctor igboko gboko cleanser, baba ogun, Bembelar bitters, Baba alaga....

Work dey for una ooo.

If babalawos are truly what they are, they should prove us wrong in finding a cure.

The same jax they do for people, let them find a cure.


I just hope there ain't any case in Nigeria this one he asked.

Exactly my thought! I wish he involved dem bblawo on the reward. Honestly, they would've found the cure already. But my only fear be say, their type of medicine dey always get condition. make dem no do the one wey go pack up naija laslas!

Commentor:


We can rule out you ever finding a cure.

This kind of message is not for your kind.

mugu for life

#virusfinder

Make this people no just go collect the sample of that virus come they do experimental testing for Nigeria.

Nice idea but make wuna dey careful. No go create another virus oo.

LadySwitz:


I didn't pick any sense in your write up... Read carefully what you've just posted.

That's because you're ignorant of the process leading to scientific discoveries.

This is not a try your luck sort thing, though that is what you and this stupid minister want.

How many virology labs are in good working condition in Nigeria? And you still want someone to magically "invent " a vaccine?

Go to Vom, and you will see how the might has fallen.

LadySwitz:


I didn't pick any sense in your write up... Read carefully what you've just posted.

You should be the one to read and think critically about wat he wrote, vaccines are not just produced without testing ... There are alot of scientific experimentation which is needed... The corona virus atleast needs to be isolated...
Antibody titration and all.. it needs laboratory equipments and all..
The scientists need those and even more for that to be possible...
Not quoting a prize for gathering herbs from the leaves

Openbusiness:

A good bargain? So N36m is a good bargain for you if you find the cure to a virus that can reduce the population of the world from 7 billion to 300,000 in one year? Wow, that means you're the most naive bargainer on the planet

Alright.

While you are there marking English the guy man as already gathered over 200likes

Alright

gbagyiza:


As people r abusing the minister, I am appreciating him for putting a challenge to our Nigerian scientist, that's how a nation progress.

Alright

shadeyinka:

He speaks the truth my dear.

Nigeria doesn't have the infrastructure for such research and moreover, on which patients are they going to test the efficacy of the vaccine. I am sure they don't even have the virus to work with not to speak of developing antivirus with it.

My take

Alright

Resurgent2016:


What happened to finding a cure to Lassa fever which has killed over 100 this year alone? The man is a joker

Alright

kunletexs:


You be foreigner abi you no know say Buhari no get certificate. So which agreement he wan sign?

Alright

uuzba:

What don't you understand there?
Discoveries are made through experimentation.
The westerners (white people) have a lot of luxury, space and time to do a lot of experiments. If I didn't study abroad, I won't have believed it. The whole town is quite, no noisy neighbors. Food is cheap and plenty. Transport is available 24/7. Postal system works Police actually catches thief when you report. Everybody can read and write. They all speak same language So everybody understands every other person. No communication barriers. Everybody went to Secondary school with teachers.
Things just work. I studied at a Uni in 2005 and their library had latest 2005 books. They change all the books every year to latest version

In such an environment, scientist are bound to arrive at solutions to problems very quickly.

Those guys have not arrived at the solution yet and you expect Nigerian scientist with all our handicaps to get the solution before then? Is it magic we are doing or what?

The disease even started from one laboratory bin China. It is the Chinese that would be the first to even get the solution.

It's OK

LadySwitz:


Lmao

A wise Nigerian Scientist will have the FG sign an agreement first. Shikena!

Any scientist having the cure would look up to China or any other world power to sell it.

With what lab?

You will be shocked to know there are many in Nigeria already infected.

This people cannot reward well. How much did Orjj Uzor Kalu and Theodore Orji stole.

This people have no brain. So u just wake up, enter those epileptic empty lab and diacover corona virus vaccine. Meanwhile u will see that this one does not even know the cost of discovering viral vaccine. If he does he will know how much to budget for the research. They just want to talk by all means.

what a joke! are they just meant to read up on the virus and other deadly diseases online without actually working on them? If No, then does Nigeria have a standard CDC (Center for Disease Control) facilities that won't end up leading to the spread of the virus to the citizen through various experimentation?

mvem:
and why do you think Nigerian Scientists don't have the sample. The Science community is a global one just like in academia where knowledge is shared among scholars. The new virus is being studied all around the world by independent researchers, government funded researchers and private funded. WHO has shared its knowledge of the virus to all the countries of the world and research is going on in identifying more about the the Virus and creating a Vaccine...Lai Mohammed don't have to go and get the sample, the way you guyz talk here

You really are clueless.
Africa just got it's test kits some days ago.
Meaning that we don't know how many infected we have in our midst. So remind me again when and how where WHO shared its knowledge a virus we didn't have test kits for until 7th of feb?

I think he is promising from a malaria stricken mood?

Openbusiness:
Ordinary N36m for

a virus that has put China in quarantine,
a virus that made America declare a national emergency after just 3 cases,
a virus that Europe is shutting inbound and outbound flights over,
a virus that has reached 5 out of 7 continents in 2 months...?

If i found the cure, maybe i'll wait till three-quarter of Nigeria is infected and then we can negotiate whether you can pay me $300 trillion USD in cash or you sell Nigeria to me for the cure and all Nigerians relocate and leave the country for me and my sugar baby . I will mine and extract all your natural resources from every single corner of the land, then re-sell the remaining skeleton graveyard to the Chinese for another $300billion USD as their dump site. Because once a shithole, always a shithole. Can't build a paradise on accursed lands. I will go buy off Eritrea and Ethiopia and build a paradise there. The End

Sugar baby uhm

The first paragraph made good sense, then you spoil the whole thing with stupid suggestion.

Where will the assembly of scientists get samples of the corona virus, and where will they get patients to test the vaccine on? Will they import infected Chinese into the country or move base to wuhan china?

please what exactly is wrong with this government. do they realize that producing the vaccine means importing the virus first as vaccines come from the virus. do they realize this outbreak was from lab leak. do they realize our labs are sub substandard and our scientists hardly observe safety rules. who swear for Nigeria bikonu?
