We even sometimes chose to fast during Ramadan. For us, it was all fun, sitting down in the evenings, under the stars or moonlight, breaking fast with our Islamic neighbours. Or waking up in the early hours to partake in feast called Saari. Wow, my mouth and tongue are salivat

Friday, December 12, 2014 18 Critical Things Former President Obasanjo Said About President Jonathan In His New Book In his scathing new autobiography, My Watch, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo made a series of critical assertions against current President Goodluck Jonathan. Due to the nature of the content, an ally of President Jonathan attempted to use a court order to block the publication of the book. President Jonathan also personally contacted the former president to appeal that the book not be published until next year, after the 2015 presidential election. Despite this My Watch launched yesterday, Dec. 9, in Lagos, in the presence of prominent political figures and officials. Review of the three-volume text by

The reason there’s no vaccine for HIV/AIDS, the National Institutes of Health explains, is because HIV has “unique ways of evading the immune system, and the human body seems incapable of mounting an effective immune response against it.” A recently published animal study further clarifies the problem by showing how vaccines designed to protect against HIV backfire, leading to an increase, not decrease, in new infections. Specifically, it is the higher number of activated CD4+ T cells which may be a possible cause for spiking rates of new infection among those already vaccinated. “The virus infects the very cells of the immune system that any vaccine is supposed to [activate],” Dr. Guido Silvestri, senior author and chief of microbiology and immunology at Yerkes National Primate Research Center, stated in a press release . The vaccines meant to prevent disease seem to make the target larger and therefore easier to hit. Killer Cells and Their Helpers T cells are a typ
