Buhari was cloned in London, current Nigerian president is fake – Asari Dokubo


Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has insisted that the current Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, was cloned in London.

Asari predicated his claim on the fact that the president struggled to deliver his Independent Day speech.

The former Militant leader maintained that while the president was reading his speech, it would be observed that the “man they have in Aso Rock” was “trying to mimic” the original Buhari.

In a video which surfaced online yesterday, Dokubo said, “A lot of people have been wishing me happy Independence but I told them not to, because I’m not a Nigerian.

“So this man they have in Aso Rock was speaking, even from his voice, you will know that he was cloned.

“You know that there is this thing called cloning, most western judo-Christian country pretend to say they banned human cloning except for the purpose of research into health and to save life.

“So we will not be surprised if they did some sort of cloning in all the period this man was incubating in Abuja House in London.

“The way he was talking, you will notice that he was trying to mimic the original one but he didn’t succeed, we were not deceived.”

North Korea accuses US of spreading Ebola and choosing Africa

AN54110588FILE---In-this-Ap.jpg
North Korea is accusing the US of spreading the Ebola virus, claiming it has been “bent on the development of bio-weapons” in order to achieve world supremacy.
The secretive state reacted strongly to the Ebola outbreak by closing its border to tourists and quarantining anyone who does enter.
Now, a report by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) is claiming an aide to ex-President Reagan informed them the US had invented a progenitor of Ebola virus “for the purpose of launching a biological warfare”.

Molecule kills HIV as single-day pill offers one-year treatment


Scientists have designed a synthetic molecule that can reactivate dormant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in mice and lead to the death of some of the infected cells, according to a study published in PLOS Pathogens.

The new findings address a long-standing challenge in HIV treatment: While antiretroviral therapy can successfully stave off disease progression, the virus can silently persist in some cells for many years, so an infected person must be vigilantly treated for the rest of their life.

Previous studies have explored potential ways to eliminate latently infected cells, such as by stimulating them to produce some viral particles (“kick”), followed by cell death via the immune system or the virus itself (“kill”). A molecule called bryostatin 1 holds the potential to trigger a “kick and kill” response, but it is costly to obtain from its source, a marine animal known as Bugula neritina.

To address this challenge, Matthew Marsden and Jerome Zack of University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), United States, and Wender Group colleagues at Stanford have designed synthetic molecules capable of imitating the activity of bryostatin 1 and perhaps even improving on its function. In the new study, the team tested SUW133, one of their more promising synthetic bryostatin 1 analogs.

The researchers first demonstrated that SUW133, like bryostatin 1, is capable of activating latent HIV infection in cells removed from infected patients. Then, they tested SUW133 in mice of a strain commonly used for HIV research, in which the mouse immune system is modified to be similar to that of humans.

Molecular analysis revealed that SUW133 stimulated HIV protein production in latently infected cells in the mice. Within 24 hours, up to 25 per cent of these cells then died. SUW133 was also better tolerated by the mice than was bryostatin 1.

These results support the potential for SUW133 to be used in a “kick and kill” treatment for HIV. Further research is needed to explore this potential and answer questions such as whether a greater percentage of cells could be killed over longer periods of time or with repeated dosing, whether similar effects might be seen in humans, and what the long-term effects of SUW133 may be.

Meanwhile, for about $75 (N30,000), the governments in South Africa and Kenya will soon be able to treat an HIV-infected person for one year with a pill taken once a day that contains a “best-in-class” combination of three antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.

The backbone of the new pill is dolutegravir, a remarkably powerful and safe ARV that inhibits HIV’s integrase enzyme and has been too expensive for most poor and middle-income countries to afford. The annual per-person cost of the new pill, made by generic manufacturers, is also about $25 (N10,000) less than the least expensive similar triple-ARV combo pill on the market. “This is a major breakthrough,” says Michel Sidibé, head of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) in Geneva, Switzerland.

The new pill, announced today by Sidibé and others at a press conference connected to the UN General Assembly meeting in New York City, will help speed efforts to offer treatment to all 37 million HIV-infected people in the world, Sidibé says. Currently, only 19.5 million are receiving ARVs.

The pill will be offered as a first-line treatment, and the hope is that its excellent “profile”—powerful suppression of HIV, low toxicity, and ease of use—will make it simpler for people to stay on treatment for their lifetimes and reduce the chances of ARV resistance emerging.

The other two ARVs in the cocktail are lamivudine and tenofovir, both of which are already in widespread use.

South Africa, which has more HIV-infected people than any country and is the biggest purchaser of ARVs, estimates it will save $9.

Twitter doubles tweet length for some users

Image result for twitter logo

By Selena Larson
If brevity is the soul of wit, Twitter is about to get a lot less clever.
For the first time in history, Twitter (TWTR, Tech30) is changing its character limit.
The service announced on Tuesday it is doubling its character count for tweets -- from 140 characters to 280 characters -- for some of its users. The test group will include those who tweet in certain languages, including English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Twitter cofounder and CEO Jack Dorsey has hinted at expanding the character limit before. Earlier this year, Twitter removed user handles -- a person's Twitter name preceded by the @ sign -- from replies to tweets, instead linking them in text above the tweet.
Twitter says it hopes people will embrace the change. But considering the move strays from its core design, it's likely to cause some backlash.
The decision to limit the tweet character to 140 stems from text messaging. SMS messages are capped at 160 characters before they're split in two texts. Dorsey has said founders wanted tweets to be able to fit in a text message: 140 characters for the tweet, and 20 characters for the username.

'First Ever Self-flying Taxi', Launched In Dubai

Dubai is moving full steam ahead toward a future skyline dotted with modern skyscrapers and flying...

The self-flying taxi transports people to their destinations without a pilot.
 
Dubai made aviation history on Monday afternoon with the first “ proof of concept flight” of its new two-seater, self-flying taxi in an aerial test in Jumeirah Beach Resisdence area, said officials.
 
Flying taxis are serious business
Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai witnessed the maiden flight of the Autonomous Air Taxi (AAT), according to a statement by Dubai Government Media Office.
 
The self-flying taxi will “be used for the world’s first self-flying taxi service set to be introduced by Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA),” said the statement, noting that the aerial taxi will shuttle passengers across the city without a pilot.
 
Built by Volocopter, a German specialty manufacturer of autonomous air vehicles, the aircraft’s aerial test comes seven months after plans for a self-flying taxi were unveiled at the World Government Summit in Dubai.

Nigerian entertainment, media industry to generate $2.8 billion in 5 years


Image result for nollywood
In the next five years, the Nigerian entertainment and media industry advertisement revenue is predicted to top US 2.8 billion dollars by 2021, increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2% making it the best in the world, according to a published report by  LLP (PwC) on Thursday.

The PwC, however, said that this figure must be treated with caution, as a huge proportion of that growth comes from internet access revenue alone–specifically mobile internet access revenue.


Of the $2.8 billion that the Nigerian entertainment industry will get between 2016 and 2021, all but $452 million will come from internet access revenue. The combined elements of TV and video will add nearly $200 million in revenue growth to 2021,” PwC said.

The report also forecasted that Mobile Internet will overtake wired advertising by the end of the forecasted period.

“There is a dramatic shift underway in how entertainment and media companies compete and generate value, as the quality of the experience they deliver to consumers becomes their primary basis for strategic differentiation and revenue growth.”
“In 2012 Nigeria spent 1.9 million watching Pay-TV but last year,  over 4 million dollars was spent” the reported noted.

'No Islamisation Agenda' Adeosun Replies CAN

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has advised Nigerians to disregard the allegation by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that the N100 billion Sukuk bond recently offered by the federal government was meant to Islamise the country.

Adeosun said this in an interview with journalists on the sidelines of an investors’ conference organised by Stanbic IBTC in Lagos at the weekend.
According to her, the bond offering which closed last Friday, was issued to raise funds for infrastructure development.
Adeosun said the government had identified projects the funds raised would be deployed to.
She explained: “So, there is no religious driver behind it. It is really a financial product to meet the financial needs. This particular one of N100 billion is going to be used for road projects.
“We have identified the road projects that it is going to be tied to and there is no religious attachment to it. South Africa even did a sovereign Sukuk before Nigeria. So, there is no Islamisation agenda at all.”
The minister stressed that the Sukuk was part of the government’s programme to deepen the financial market.
Furthermore, Adeosun disclosed that the framework for the debt instrument predated the present government.
“The committee started work in 2011. So, they have been working on it for six years, to structure products that would be compliant. Really, the Sukuk is about two things -one it is about raising money and deepening the financial market.

Donald Trump congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari for a job well done

Image result for trump buhari
United States President Donald Trump congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari and leaders of other African countries for a job well done as he hosted them to a working lunch on the sidelines of the 72nd UN General Assembly in New York.

The gathering was held at the New York Palace Hotel, and also had in attendance top government officials from Trump’s cabinet, as well as from different African countries.

Trump said he was greatly honoured to host the lunch and described the African leaders as “partners for promoting prosperity and peace”.

“I’m greatly honoured to be joined by leaders of Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Namibia, Senegal, Uganda and South Africa. In particular, I want to thank President Condé, who is representing the African Union”, he said.

“In this room, I see partners for promoting prosperity and peace on a range of economic, humanitarian and security issues.

“We hope to extend our economic partnerships with countries who are committed to self-reliance and to fostering opportunities for job creation in both Africa and the United States.

“Africa has tremendous business potential. I have so many friends going to your countries, trying to get rich. I congratulate you.

“They’re spending a lot of money. But it does – it has tremendous business potential and representing huge amounts of different markets. And for American firms it’s really become a place that they have to go – that they want to go.

“Six of the world’s ten fastest-growing economies are in Africa. Increasing American trade and investment across diverse industries – including agriculture, energy, transportation, healthcare, travel, and tourism – will further transform lives throughout the continent”, the American president stated.

He added, “Africa, I have to say, is a continent of tremendous potential. The outlook is bright. I look forward to hearing from you and your advice during the meal”.

Trump said he was eager to know more African leaders closely, saying, “I really want to congratulate you – growing very fast economically and in every other way. You’ve done a terrific job, you’ve had some tremendous obstacles placed in your path, but you have done really an absolutely incredible job.”

The US president pledged that his country would partner with African countries and organisations, like the African Union, in leading successful efforts to end violence, prevent the spread of terrorism, as well as respond to humanitarian crises.

Conjoined sisters are settling into campus life at a Tanzanian university


Image result for Maria and Consolata Mwakikuti
Maria and Consolata Mwakikuti, 20, who are joined at the abdomen, have become minor celebrities in the east African nation where the media have closely followed their path through high school and arrival at university earlier this month.

Mwazarau Mathola, spokeswoman for the Ruaha Catholic University in Iringa in the centre of the country, said on Thursday the women arrived a few weeks before classes start in October to get used to their new life and take computer lessons.

“A separate house has been provided for them, furnished and set up for their needs, because they can’t be housed in normal student accommodation,” said Mathola.

A couch has been installed in their classroom to allow them to sit comfortably, and they have a carer.

The twins were abandoned by their mother after the death of their father, and later taken in by a Catholic mission. They will study education, with the hope of becoming teachers of history, English and Swahili, said Mathola.

In July, Maria made an emotional call on state television for parents not to “hide or lock up their handicapped children”.

“They must know they human beings, handicapped or not, are equal and have the same rights,” she said.

The sisters, who enjoy knitting and cooking together, thanked the teachers who helped them through highschool, as well as the government who provided a vehicle to take them from their home to school each day.

“We didn’t expect this day to come, it is by the grace of God that we are here today,” said Consolata, the chattier of the two.

The sisters admit that they do not always get along, as Consolata told a local newspaper in 2015: “For example when I want to do laundry and Maria prefers to read. However we always find a way around it.”
