I think the best way to handle this case is to transfer it to UK where James Onanefe Ibori was convicted or South Africa where Henry Okah was convicted. Cos i see no reason why the prosecution of a criminal that had committed a crime and arrested was delayed till now after many months of committing the crimes.

RIP little gurl!

People are just talking about what happened to the little gurl in front seat which could have also happened to an adult. Though with more matured dermal tissues.
All the same, it isn't very safe having a juvenile seated in front seat.

Changing the label of the bread won't sweeten the bread though may make the bread attractive or ugly but the bread is of the same structure, and texture.

The best way to improve the bread is to improve the dignity of all the factors of production of the bread.
Exactly what should be done to nigeria and not the name changing.

Commonwealth of Nigeria but uncommon ideology and culture.

Culture › Re: The Meaning Of Peace In The Different Nigerian Languages by Tolexander: 10:57am On Mar 20, 2013
After seeing the meaning from all dialects in nigeria. I think i can now give a general definition.

Peace is defined as a situation whereby the hausas sheath their daggers, burying their bombs, The igbos thinking about things that can contribute to the developement of the nation rather than what happened 43years ago. And the yorubas stopping their loud mouth.

…As Hope rises for sickle cell
patients
Dr. Godwin Bazuaye is a
consultant dermatologist and
specialist in bone marrow
transplants. He graduated
from the University of Benin
and trained in the same
school. He later went to
Swizerland for sub-
specialization in bone
marrow transplantation.
Currently, he is head of
Human Dermatology and Co-
ordinator of Stem Cell
Transplant Unit at the
University of Benin Teaching
Hospital, UBTH.
During the recent visit by the
National Good Governance
Tour team to the Hospital, he
told Vanguard Hi-Tech in an
exclusive interview, how the
hospital successfully
completed two stem cell
transplants and how
Nigerian can benefit from
the technology locally, rather
than going abroad to change
their genotype, especially
sickle cell patients. Excerpts:
What is stem cell Transplant?
It is a new model way of
treating patients, where we
have to transfer stem cells.
These are cells that have the
ability to produce new cells
from a donor that is normal
to a patient who has one
illness or the other, after we
have destroyed bone
marrows, so that the new
cells from the donor will
produce new cells in the
patient, which is almost like
that of the donor. So, if you
have a patient, whose
genotype is SS, we will
transplant cells that are AA
from a normal person; the
cells in the person will start
producing AA.
How does it work?
You have to enable the body
accept new cells to be
transplanted. In this unit, you
can change the genotype of
a child or an individual from
sickle cell to AA. You bring a
primitive cell from a donor to
a recipient. Before this time,
you would have reduced the
immunity in the patient to
the barest minimum so that
he can accept what you are
giving to him, called stem cell.
It can also be used for cancer
patients. Major beneficiaries
are sickle cell patients. Once
it is done, they are no longer
sicklers.
Dr Bazuaye
Dr Bazuaye
Are there risks involved?
We don’t collect blood from
the veins; we have to use a
needle on the bone marrow
to bring out blood. Usually,
the risk is very minimal. To
the donor, there is no risk in
the procedure, except the
risk that has to do with
going to the theatre.
Apparently, the last one we
did was a 14 year-old boy. By
the third day, he had gone
home and he resumed
school the next day. For the
patient, the risk is very low,
as it has to do with the hard
drugs, which the body could
react to. For the patient, they
are placed on very high
drugs in the course of
destroying the bone marrow.
It could lead to side effects
reaction.
How successful was your last
procedure?
It was okay, the patient is a
year and two months. His
genotype was AA and has
not had any crisis since then
and so, I will say that it was
quite successful.
At what age can one qualify
for this transplant.?
The therapy is used for both
the sickle cell and blood
cancer patients; in fact,
anything that has to do with
taking a cell from a donor to
cure the patient. Really, for
sickle cell patients, it is
preferable when they are 15
years and below because
when they are older, they
tend to need a lot of blood
transfusion, their organs
may get damaged. Although,
there is a new method we
use for adult sickle cell
patients; that is also to
change their genotype to AS.
How many of these
procedures have you done
so far?
We have done two. The first
one is a year plus now and
the second, we just
discharged the patient.
Minimum cost?
Well, on the average, it costs
between N8m-N6m,
depending on the number of
supportive care. That is
when we are doing a sickle
patient. If we have the
support of the Federal
Government in the way of
subsidizing the equipments
in a space that is big enough
to take five to10 people at a
time, then it will reduce the
cost. We need a good
international centre with a
lot of transplant rooms, so
that if we are doing more
than one, we can share the
cost. Like now, we have to
run generator for one
hundred days for an
individual. If it is for five
individuals, it makes it easier
and the cost will definitely
trickle down to maybe N2m.
How long does it take to
carry out a procedure?
It takes an average of three
months or 100 days because
at that period, you have a lot
of tests and checks involved,
though some may be
discharged before one
hundred days.
How many of you are trained
in this specialty?
For now, I am the only one
trained in the hospital.
Who are your major targets
in this project?
The therapy is good for both
sickle cell and anything that
has to do with cell transplant.
This is the first in West Africa
and third in the whole of
Africa, after Egypt and South
Africa. This can be replicated
in the six geo-political zones.
India for instance, has about
20 centres. An average of N1
billion should be able to set
up a centre.
