I think he is promising from a malaria stricken mood?
Don't mind them, ordinary malaria that's the number 1 killer disease in the world, they are not spending money on research or promising reward for research, they are talking about a virus that is yet to infect just 1 black man.

I have said it again and again, I doubt the new corona virus would be a problem for us in this part of Africa, as we have never had problems with the flu virus and other flu like viruses. Non of the other corona viruses had really had impact on us in the past.

If we are vulnerable, I am sure it would have been at our shores already, as the test kits to even test for the virus only arrived last week.

I am not saying we should get complacent though and not protect ourselves.

That's misplaced priority. First of all, how will they test the efficacy of their discoveries? And how will they know it works unless the have an infected patients or the sample of the virus to test it with? How will they get the virus sample to test? You will end of having people who work for their selfish interest thereby working against the interests of the general public.

This is an unworkable solution.

Why not call for the assembly of the best scientist and biochemist in Nigeria, give them a good lap, feed them, provide 24 hrs electricity with the best electronic gadgets and laboratory equipments and have them work together towards having a solution to the virus?

Common, who advises these people self? They need better advisers.

I do not know what makes otherwise brilliant people become VERY slow when they become part of the Nigerian government at any level.

You do not create vaccines overnight.

Which Nigerian institutes or universities currently have world-class expertise in corona viruses? What's the research output of such institutes?

Having degrees from the most prestigious universities in the world doesn't equate to world class.

In the UK, experts upon experts from King's College London, Imperial College London, UCL and others come on TV to enlighten the public about Covid-19 daily. People who oversea treatment and or do research, many for decades now, on this group of virus.

This is not BBN show where you win millions after weeks. It's a job serious countries fund and prepare their scientists for decades long.

Vaccine is not to cure primarily.
It's used to prevent.

It is never a challenge. He knows that Nigerian scientists do not have the intellectual capacity nor the facilities to develop such vaccines. They are more interested in international grants to procure the latest brands of SUVs to show off.
The honourable minister is just yanking their chains. That's all.

Huge lie. Do you know that indomethacin a blood thinner and a NSAID kills rats. While rats may help in a pilot experiemnt of such a project it is not enough for a conclusion and you cannot administer a medication to treat an illhealth just because rats were cured.

Then how do they test new drugs if not on animals?

Everything you wrote is trash. Are you a scientists? Leave the scientists to bother about how the experiments will be carried out. Its quite obvious that's not your field.

I'm bothered for three reasons:
One: No one has ever detected a cure for virus. No virus can be cured. So why do they think a cure for this will surface? Virus were not designed to be killed except you want to kill the host with it, they are top in the food chain

Two: For something that no one in the world has discovered, the government is offering a mere 36 million naira not dollars. This is the money that is not even enough to buy a senator's vehicle. Put in mind that if a cure is found today, it will be the first cure for any virus in the world. This is a huge record.

Three: I'm shocked about the amount of likes you gathered. It goes to show the level of intelligence we have here

He has put both short and long term facts into that statement of his. I am of the opinion that you lack the scientific mind to analyse this hence your lack of comprehension of simple basic scientific methods and facts.

Poor arguments you only attacked the person instead of the topic. Very poor logical arguments.

You may be right about the assembly part but completely wrong with the statement unworkable solution. So if it's created in Nigeria it must only be tested in Nigeria? Samples of the vaccine/cure will simply be sent to countries in dire need of it to be tested

You are probably right in some cases, but not in all cases. The challenge here is, the resources to work with, not just any rat, you need a strand of the virus.

Books reading are different, no risk of death. Besides, first materials are first class materials, but innovations and breakthroughs like these are not generally made by first class materials. But virus that does not a have a way of dealing with it? Well...

And in this case, you need a rat that has the virus or infect it with one. Bottom line, you will still need the virus to test your work on it.

But they found a medicine for Ebola, tested it on animals first before making it ready for human use, this was just in a short term during the peak of Ebola.

The mention of first class material was just an example of how price can push people to do wonders.
.

Mind you, Nigerians have been making little inventions since time Immemorial. Example, the man from Michael Okpara Univ who said he discovered HIV drugs, which Lab does he use to research?

Have you gone to NAFDAC Lab built in Anambra by late Dora Akunyili? Dora did wonders there. I mean you know her as a no nonsense woman, imagine the quality of lab she built.


The bottom line is people don't have motivation here to do anything. This is one of such motivations. If the government are serious and. sincere, just watch how many people will come out with their inventions to claim this huge sum
