godwinony: Quota system is to make education available to the disadvantaged, similar to affirmative action for minorities in America. There are claims that Obama entered Harvard through affirmative action (I dont know how true it is). Quota system has its good and bad side, but, i understand how you feel though. 2 Likes |

Arguing with despicable iPods is like explaining calculus to a 3 year old. They just don't have the mental capacity to analyse information. The person in question has no ties to Nigeria. His mum married Mr Ajao after giving birth to Khalid, and he adopted his step dad's name. How does that make him Nigerian? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Despicable iPod yoots, please not that Ajao is his step father's name. He was born a Christian and converted to Muslim. No mention about who his real father is. His mother married Ajao years after his birth. There is no more information about his childhood. Learn to do some research before embarrassing your generation online. Thank you. 3 Likes |

This is the time for other parties to step up. But they won't, only for them to start campaigning 3 months to election, and expect Nigerians to vote for them. If KOWA wants to be taken serious, they should start commenting on issues, contesting at state level, and even local government. But personally, I will prefer labour party. PDP is not an option. Although am still patient with APC till May. |

Can't the constitution be amended to have 3 or 4 ministers from each zone making 18 or 24 ministers. That's better than have some one as a sitting minister without a portfolio. I will feel insulted if I was made such, will rather not be in the FEC. And besides, is it not waste of money to be paying someone that isn't really working. 36 Likes 4 Shares |

Its not about being able to afford the demands, all her demands probably won't be more than 30k a month. But a lady that gives such conditions certainly doesn't love the dude again, better to be heart broken now, than to be heart broken later after being used. |

The University of Ibadan (UI), in partnership with two American universities, on Wednesday, announced the discovery of a permanent cure for the sickle cell disease. The cure which was described as less risky and with a potential to help over 5 million Africans living with the disease, was the outcome of a research carried out by UI in alliance with medical experts at the University of Illinois and the University of Loyola, both in Chicago. Nigeria and other African countries can now heave a sigh of relief as the University of Ibadan in partnership with the University of Illinois, Chicago, USA and University of Loyola, Chicago have discovered a permanent cure for the terminal disease. The cure of the deadly disease, according to the Professor of Medicine, Victor Gordeuk, who is the Director, Sickle Cell Centre, University of Illinois, Chicago, USA and his colleagues, Prof. Damiano Rondelli, also from the same university and Prof. Bamidele Tayo, University of Loyola, Chicago this new treatment is done through bone marrow transplant and that it is less risky. This was revealed yesterday at the University College Hospital, Ibadan after a three-day brainstorming session with other experts in the teaching hospital. Unlike the other conventional method of stem cell transplant which exposes patients to radiation which could cause cancer, first blood and marrow stem cell transplant, BMT, is much more effective. The experts who were flanked by the Chief Medical Director, UCH, Prof. Temitope Alonge, Dr. Titilola Akingbola, an haematologist and Dr. Foluke Fasola, said this stem cell transplant is a standard procedure for the treatment of many blood cancers in both adult and children. He said: “With this chemotherapy-free transplant, we are curing adults with sickle cell disease, and we see that their quality of life improves fast within just one month of the transplant. “About 90 per cent of the approximately 450 patients who have received stem cell transplants for sickle cell disease have been children. Chemotherapy has been considered too risky for adult patients, who are often more weakened than children by the disease. “Adults with sickle cell disease can now be cured without chemotherapy — the main barrier that has stood in the way for them for so long. Our data provide more support that this therapy is safe and effective and prevents patients from living shortened lives, condemned to pain and progressive complications.” “In the new procedure, patients receive immuno-suppressive drugs just before the transplant, along with a very low dose of total body irradiation, a treatment much less harsh and with fewer potentially serious side effects than chemotherapy.” “ Donor cells from a healthy and tissue-matched sibling are transfused into the patient. Stem cells from the donor produce healthy new blood cells in the patient, eventually in sufficient quantity to eliminate symptoms. In many cases, sickle cells can no longer be detected. Patients must continue to take immunosuppressant drugs for at least a year. The CMD, Prof. Alonge who called for support from government, philanthropists, donour agencies and corporate bodies like banks and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation for provision of equipment and completion of the sickle cell centre, described sickle cell as a disease of bone crisis which the patient suffers from head to toe. He added that Sickle Cell Disease is a genetic disorder due to the presence of an abnormal form of haemoglobin in the red blood cells, called haemoglobin S (Hb S) instead of haemoglobin A (Hb A). Haemoglobin in the red blood cell is responsible for the transportation of oxygen in the body. Source:http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/uch-usa-varsities-discover-cure-for-sickle-cell-anaemia/ |
