can you buy life? How affordable is Bugatti, Ferrari or a private jet? Those are material things. Do you know what it takes for them to come out with that innovation and treatment? How many years of research?
Even at that but the treatment should be affordable
As a medical doctor living with sickle cell disease, Isn’t it shocking that despite the recent approvals of revolutionary gene therapies for the treatment and potential cure of sickle cell disease, I can't seem to share in the excitement.

In my column titled “Removing Financial Barriers for the Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease”, I have delved into the reasons behind my lack of enthusiasm.
Here are a few excerpts below from my sickle cell disease column on BioNews:

“But the staggering cost associated with this type of treatment raises concerns. How can someone living with sickle cell disease improve when these treatments are financially unattainable? When do we get therapies that genuinely benefit the entire sickle cell disease community?”

“ While it is undoubtedly positive to witness advancements in treatments and a potential cure for sickle cell disease, it is imperative that these treatments are both affordable and accessible to the patients around the world who need them. Without addressing this crucial point, the ultimate goal of enhancing quality of life and improving life expectancy for sickle cell patients will be missed.”

This is good news!! We are 100million light years away from these progressive countries and it keeps getting worse.




Actually, there brain is not special, they just have a better enabling environment to thrive. That's why Nigerians who go there in educational pursuit also thrive even though they mostly go at adulthood and don't have a good head start..

If we had good leaders in Nigerian who allowed our educational system blossom instead of continuously stifling it, this people will not see our back because we Nigerians are hardworking and determined and that's why you will see even secondary school students studying all night.

They have special brains.

That's where the government has to come in. Government can subsidize it.

God is ready to give you if you are ready to put in the effort .... cheesy ... as An African, You have to Conquer Your Entire & Generational Demons(Inhibitions) Before You can Successfully Achieved These Feasts!

As You Begin, They(Your Demons) Will Start Reasoning Your Matters From Present Ones till The Biggest Ones From Your Ancestral Lineages..... grin ..... Including Those Ones In Your Families That Don't want anyone to Breakthrough in Life on a Global Scale grin

If You are Really Passionate, You Will Succeed(Defeat Them All & Achieve Your Passions), If You ain't Strong.... You Would Enter Into Mental Freeze & Developed Psychotic Disorders until Death ... Nevertheless, God will reward you for Trying Though !

Every Successful People Must Conquer the Inhibitors(The Barricades) to Success!

I don’t do bullshit and nonsense. And I am often repulsed by abrahamic nonsense, especially Judaism. I don’t think there is anything I hate more in this world.
