Good to hear that a Nigerian is doing us proud.

Keep it up, brother.

That's my Uncle

Nice

Bb

Someone up has done it already.

googi:
Yoruba Youths please no amaka.

Military officers, lawyers, nurses, doctors, teachers were posted all over the world, we never cry amaka then.

Why now?

I am not impressed!

Nothing new. America is a very diverse country and they give opportunities to everyone regardless of your race or ethnicity. Indians and Asians generally fare better than africans in the USA

Something good can actually come out of the zoological department called NIGERIA

A good ambassador, keep flying naija flag high. God bless America.

Dr Taiwo is popular name in HIV/AIDs research and training. I always look forward to his analysis on the clinical options platform.

He is a brilliant scholars and winner of numerous grants and awards.

It's good to see his versatility extends to other infectious diseases as well.

A lot of research is going on, so nothing new here.

brojoes5030:
A bright doctor from the West African country of Nigeria Babafemi Taiwo is leading part of a major study on antiviral drug Remdesivir appearing to treat COVID-19, the potentially deadly respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, which has killed more than 200,000 people around the world.

CNN interviewed Dr. Taiwo, whose name suggests he is a twin from the southwestern part of Nigeria, to discuss the promising results. Remdesivir, the antiviral drug made by Gilead Sciences, appears to help coronavirus patients recover more quickly than no treatment at all, but it does not significantly reduce death, according to preliminary data from the National

“For the first time we have a large, well-conducted trial” showing a treatment helps, he said. “This is not a miracle drug … but it’s definitely better than anything we have.”

Fauci said the partial results showed that the drug had “a clear-cut significant positive effect,” shortening the time to hospital discharge by four days. By comparison, antiviral drugs for the flu shorten illness by about one day on average and only when started within a day or two of symptoms first appearing.

In the remdesivir study, about 8% of those on the drug died versus 11.6% of the comparison group, but the difference is not large enough for scientists to say the drug was the reason.

No information was given on side effects. Fauci said full results would be published in a medical journal soon. He said final numbers might change a bit but that the study’s overall conclusion would not.

Yoruba Amaka

For God's sake what's all about Yoruba, Igbo and all here? Must we belittle our rationality to ethnicity as if God did not create all of us as important to each other?

Thank God for your life and that of your team Doctor..... More grease.

seunmsg:
Kudos to him and his team. I pray the drug turns out very effective in dealing with the virus. Those working on developing a vaccine should also double up their efforts. All hands must be on deck to defeat the virus as soon as possible.

And this is how seunmsg posts used to be 5-6 years ago.....

And that is how it should be .mature

Outside here good or bad they addressed you as Nigerian. Here you throw tantrums chanting Igbo amaka . Yoruba amaka

Who do una like this?

Hw may not be a twin if his family/last/surname is taiwo...

We’ve got the brains � but it can only work outside Nigeria... why? Coz our leaders will kill your brain by not supporting research !!! Kudos ...

Great

If he committed crime USA government will say he is from Nigeria , and Nigeria go deny him, if he do well Nigeria go dey claim him...

he is covered with the Blood of Jesus,No Evil shall befall him or any plague cum near his dwelling place,Angel on guard

shigoslim:
Na Aboki spoil Nigeria with their born to rule mentality. That is why we are where we are today .
If only Yoruba can wake up we could have gone far by now but their own side of greediness is killing us .

And without yorubas or Southsouth you can't move ahead
What's the difference between and the illiterate aboki?

see this idiot
so na aboki has been ruling Nigeria since Independence....
how many Hausa man can you mention that rule Nigeria since Independence...

shockingist:
If a Drug really works, we would have known.

None have worked for now, although they might help.

They should stop hiding under bureaucracy and saying it is promising.

That is why I like Trump, He calls the name out strait.

Than saying it is going through clinical trials

So a drug works simply because Trump says it works, and not based on rigorous research by trained medical experts?

UCH guys are just leading the show all over the world
Shame standards have fallen everywhere in Naija now

Good to hear that....
