Politics › Ebola Drug From Japan May Emerge By September by santakris(op): 12:21pm On Aug 11, 2014
U.S. government researchers are working hard to get an experimental flu drug from Japan’s Fujifilm Holdings Corp. quickly approved to treat Ebola, as the death toll rises in West Africa.

Fujifilm’s U.S. partner MediVector Inc. in Boston is in talks with the Food and Drug Administration to submit an application to use the drug in humans for Ebola, according to Department of Defense spokeswoman Amy Derrick-Frost. If successful, the treatment drug would be one of the first allowed by U.S. regulators to fight the disease in humans.

The Department of Defense has prioritized the completion of a study that tests the drug called favipiravir in Ebola-infected monkeys, Derrick-Frost said. The drug can be fast-tracked through the regulatory review process after the studies are complete, she said. Preliminary monkey data are expected in mid-September, she said.

Health › ZMapp - The Experimental Ebola Drug - Cures American Doctors by santakris(op): 9:46am On Aug 07, 2014
Dr. Kent Brantly, who is being treated with an experimental drug for the Ebola virus at Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital, will soon be joined by the second American to have contracted the virus.

The drug ZMapp, made by Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc., of San Diego, has been identified as a potential treatment for the disease but had never been tested on a human until now. The second patient, Nancy Writebol, who left for Atlanta from Monrovia, Liberia, on Tuesday, has started recovering from the disease after receiving two doses of the drug before leaving for the U.S., according to the Associated Press, or AP. ZMapp was developed by a long-running research program supported by the U.S. government and its military.

Writebol, who left Monrovia for Atlanta at 9:12 p.m. EDT on Monday, is expected to arrive in the U.S. on Tuesday on the same plane that brought Brantly to Emory. Brantly, who got the virus while he was working in Liberia, reportedly began recovering Sunday with the help of ZMapp, which boosts the patient’s immune system to fight off the effect of the Ebola virus. However, doctors working on beating back the virus are only cautiously optimistic about the effectiveness of the new drug.

“Ebola is a tricky virus and one day you can be up and the next day down. One day is not indicative of the outcome,” Bruce Johnson, president of SIM USA, the North Carolina-based group that Writebol worked for in Africa, said, according to AP, adding: “We’re grateful this medicine was available.”

ZMapp is made out of nicotine leaves and was tested on mice having the virus, of which 80 percent survived, according to AP.

Although there is no authorized drug to cure the Ebola virus, several experimental drugs are being created, including ones being developed by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ:TKMR) of British Columbia. Over the past five days, the company’s stock has shot up by more than 30 percent.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has to permit the experimental use of a drug on humans, but an FDA spokesperson would neither confirm nor deny that the permission had been granted for ZMapp, AP reported.

The current outbreak of Ebola is the worst till date and the World Health Organization, on Monday, reportedly estimated that the virus has so far infected 1,600 people and claimed 887 lives in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria.

Newsintels was unable to reach Mr Idoche as his numbers was not available in charge sheets sighted by correspondents in court. However, on speaking to Mr John Ugbe, the Managing Director/CEO of Multichoice who did not seem bothered by the developments, was more upset that our reporter contacted him “on a weekend that he was having a family time”. “Please send me text and my PR team will get back to you” he retorted. True to his word, one Mr. Jenkins, who introduced himself as an external consultant, did return the call and told Newsintels that they have tried to compensate Mr. Idoche with a trip to Dubai or South Africa but he declined. “The issue was that of visa” he explained spiritedly to the reporter.

An earlier story reported by Thisdaylive.com “For DSTV Promo Winners, an Awful Experience”, indicated that the complainant earlier wrote a petition titled “Multichoice 20th Anniversary Promo – Request for Multichoice to meet her obligations” to Mr John Ugbe, the Managing Director of Multichoice to express his displeasure to no avail. All relevant stakeholders including the Group CEO Multichoice, Mr Imitiaz Patal; Director General, Consumer Protection Council (CPC) Mrs Dupe Atoki; Verification consultant, Alexander Forbes Consulting, Mrs Ibiola Akinla; Head Lagos office, Consumer Protection Council (CPC), Mr Tam Tamunokonbia; Marketing Manager GOtv, Mr Oludare Kafar and Consumer Insight Manager, Multichoice, Mrs. Busola Tejumola were in copy.

Mr. Joe Ekpe, Director General of National Lottery Regulatory Commission was also not prepared to comment on a case already in court. “The promo wasn’t commissioned by us and the so-called price was never received”, was all he offered.

However, the accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charge leading to Justice Idris granting them bail in the sum of N5 million each, with two sureties each in like sum. The court also ordered the accused to deposit their international passports with the court’s registry. The court has adjourned till after the court holidays for the trial of the accused persons to commence.

Politics › Multichoice’s Scheme For Defrauding Nigerians Exposed, Police Arrests Two Ceo by santakris(op): 9:33pm On Aug 06, 2014
Multichoice’s penchant for defrauding Nigerians is not limited to charging exorbitant charges or repatriation of funds to its South African home base. Its brazen disregard for propriety, respect for the rule of law and sanctity of contracts has assumed new proportions, a Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi was informed recently.

These revelations were exposed when two officials of Multichoice Nigeria Limited, its Managing Director Mr John Ugbe alongside the company were arraigned before Justice Mohammed Idris of a Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos over allegations of fraudulent promo. The 22-count charge (no FHC/L/122C/14) centred on conspiracy, promotion of illegal lottery and using the premises of Multichoice Company, 1381 Tiamiyu Savage Street, Victoria Island Lagos for false pretenses.

The case was filed before the court by police prosecuting council from the Police Enforcement unit of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission Abuja. The attempt by the police to arrest the CEO, Mr. John Ugbe, was not successful as he absconded before they got to their offices, Justice Mohammed Idris was told. The Judge however demanded that he be arrested and brought before him at the next hearing coming up in October. The two individuals arrested were however granted a bail of N5m each.

The Charges include “That Multichoice Nigeria and two others including JOHN UGBE, BISI ANIMASHAUN, MARTIN MABUTHO who are now at large, between October 2013 and March 2014 at Lagos in the Lagos judicial division of the honourable court did induce one Mr. Emmanuel Igoche and other citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to confer benefit on you by entering into the contract of buying the product of MULTICHOICE NIGERIA LTD tagged RETURN TICKET TO 2014 GRAMMY AWARDS, by way of advance payment of your DSTV telecast monthly subscription upon the promise to the effect that the participants will win a prize of expense paid trip to the Grammy Award in the USA in a lottery which was never fulfilled and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section1(2) and punishable under section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act CAP ‘A6’ Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2006”.

Multichoice is not new to controversy. The erstwhile minister of Communications, Mr Frank Nweke Jnr, had earlier sought to see their end in Nigeria on account of fraudulent monopoly at the ‘expense of local businesses’.

A source close to the case who did not want her name mentioned as the case was in court, explained that this occurrence was not new. “It is a simple scheme; the defendants use very popular destinations like the United States to promote sales and then offer less attractive options afterwards”.

“Multichoice capitalizes on the fact that most Nigerians don’t have visas to the US. So they offer you South Africa after you have missed the Grammies. To be candid, most people are happy to accept it. After all, the other winner, Mr Mohammed Kamilu Babanmallam gleefully accepted the SA option with his wife. Multichoice has perfected this scheme and they have the Consumer Protection Council on their side. It is not really a big deal; it is just that this time, the National Lottery Commission was already upset with them for not paying the registration fees.” She added.

At the hearing of the matter, the prosecutor, Joseph Nwadike, explained to the Judge that the promo in itself was an illegality as it was not duly registered under the extant laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Multichoice’s malfeasance plumbed new depths when, yet again, when it refused to honour its commitments to Mr. Igoche in spite of using him for extensive publicity.

Science/Technology › Unlocking a cell phone is officially legal again. by santakris(op):
Today, President Obama will sign into law the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, and in doing so, will achieve a rare trifecta: a win for American consumers, a win for wireless competition, and an example of Democracy at its best -- bipartisan Congressional action in direct response to a call to action from the American people.

The story of how we broke through Washington gridlock to restore the freedom of consumers to take their mobile phone wherever they choose is one worth telling, and a model worth repeating.

The effort began with a digital petition on the White House's We the People site, an online platform where citizens can offer ideas for the Administration to take action on important issues facing our country. A digital rights activist named Sina Khanifar submitted a simple request: restore an exception to the law to let consumers take their mobile phone to the carrier that best suits their needs by "unlocking" the device.

The petition drew an extraordinary response, with more than 114,000 citizens making their voices heard. And within two weeks, the White House answered with a call to action, laying out steps the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), industry, and Congress could take to ensure copyright law would not undermine wireless competition.

At the same time, Congress took action to heed this call in a bipartisan manner. As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Leahy partnered with the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee to promptly introduce joint legislation restoring the exemption to allow mobile phones to be unlocked. The bill also directed the Librarian of Congress to determine whether other wireless devices, such as tablets, should be unlockable. This commonsense legislation ensured that consumers could transfer their phones between carriers, and that second-hand phones could be put to good use by new owners connecting to a network of their choice.

Then, the Administration and FCC worked with wireless carriers to reach a voluntary agreement to create more competition in the mobile space, lower prices and increase flexibility for every American with a mobile phone -- which, according to the latest statistics, is over 90% of the adult population. This unprecedented industry agreement has already made life easier for tens of thousands of Americans who took advantage of this service in order to switch carriers. Congressional action will now ensure that consumers on all networks can unlock their phones.

What we saw in the end was a bipartisan commitment to solve a problem that affects millions of Americans. This month, the Senate and the House both unanimously passed the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act -- the first time a We the People petition has led to a legislative fix. The bill not only restores the rights of consumers to unlock their phones, but ensures that they can receive help doing so if they lack the technological savvy to unlock on their own.

The most important part of this joint effort is that it will have a real impact. As long as their phone is compatible and they have complied with their contracts, consumers will now be able to enjoy the freedom of taking their mobile service - and a phone they already own -- to the carrier that best fits their needs. At a time when partisan gridlock all too often threatens progress on everyday issues that matter to consumers, working together we listened to your voices, and the American people benefited as a result.
