A group of Nigerian scientists have found what could be a novel treatment for Human Immune-deficiency Virus, HIV, infection that may slash the cost of treatment. The team of scientists, including graduate students and researchers from the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia state, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, Nigeria have been able to show that synthetic Aluminum-magnesium silicate (AMS) has antiretroviral effects that could lay a perfect track for affordable and effective therapy for HIV. Results of their work titled "Assessment of Antiretroviral Effects of a Synthetic Aluminum-magnesium Silicate" published in the British Journal of Medicine & Medical Research and featured on nd featured on SCIENCEDOMAIN international shows a significant reduction in the titres of the virus when HIV positive plasma was incubated with AMS.

This is the True Love Tester bra, an "innovative bra" that "cannot be unhooked without true love." What it lacks in boob support it makes up for in moral support, apparently. According to Japanese company Ravijour, the bra is here to "save women from these guys." Like… Skeevy guy,Trust fund bro. No amount of pantomime grabbing will open this puppy. According to the product designer, "A built in sensor reads the woman's heart-rate signal and sends it to a special app via Bluetooth for analysis." "The app then calculates the True Love Rate based on changes in the heart rate over time." As you can see from this very scientific chart of things that excite women, like flirting, surprise gifts, and shopping. "When the True Love Rate exceeds a certain value, the bra is unhooked automatically." Hopefully you'll already be naked…? And surprise! It was designed by men.

Saturdays are sacred in med school...sometimes, it is the special day when you get to wake up any time you feel like it, but  it can turn good or bad, which depends on what you make of it. Saturdays are officially not on the school calendar, but if you are unlucky enough, you can get a night call or worse a full day surgery fixed on a Saturday, this is very sad...and the most dreaded of all is having a lecturer decide to have a session with students very early in the morning, and this ruins the whole day no matter what. Presently am having a wonderful Saturday, nature spiced things up by sending showers overnight...so you should understand when I say I actually have not gotten up from my cozy bed...

President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday expressed the belief that with the measures put in place by his administration, especially the new National Automotive Industry Policy; the country would soon be exporting cars to other countries. Jonathan spoke at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, while granting audience to a delegation of the business community from Anambra State led by Governor Peter Obi. In responding to an address by the delegation, the President said,"I will refer all the issues you raised to the various departments of government. We are totally committed to creating jobs. Nigeria is a country with huge population of youths. If jobs are not created, there will be crisis. The housing, agriculture and power sectors are also receiving attention. "In the next few years, Nigeria will begin to export cars to other countries. We are encouraging the government to support local manufacturers." Jonathan promised that the industrialists' basic needs such as roads, powe

Kabiru was sentenced to life imprisonment after he was found guilty of murder. The prisoner who came in company of theprisonofficials was awarded a Bachelorsdegree(BA) in Human Resource Management.

Medical school is not easy and it gets even worse when you get to final year...you get drilled and grilled all in the notion that you will be a doctor in a year time. Ward rounds gets longer, night calls get longer and more demanding, case presentation increases, and gets deeper...procedures more imminently compulsory. Am presently in the clinic waiting for a procedure to commence, i feel fatigued and drained out after a looooong ward presentation...and my mistake, i didn't eat breakfast before coming to this hellhole...

The highly-classified national secrets of becoming a billionaire overnight in Nigeria. By Femi Aribisala. Join the PDP. This one is a sure banker. As a member of the greatest party in the history of Africa, you will be given a credit-card to spend Nigeria's oil wealth. If you are not getting enough attention in the party, make a lot of noise. Abuse Tinubu on the pages of the newspapers and call Buhari an idiot. Insist that Goodluck Jonathan should not only run for re-election unopposed in 2015, there should be a constitutional amendment to make him a life-president. This is a tell-tale sign that you are hungry; and the powers-that-be will soon invite you to "come and chop." As a distinguished member of this great party, the opportunities open for you to set yourself up for life are considerable. For example, you can start collecting billions for petroleum subsidy and simply not import any petrol whatsoever. You can get the government to change all car license-plates nat

Shanell Mouland and her husband Al have a 3-year-old daughter named Kate who has autism. They blog about their experiences raising her over at goteamkate.com and recently they published an open letter that went massively viral. The Moulands had just wrapped up a family vacation to Disney World, a place Shanell described as overwhelming for anyone, but especially so for a child with autism. On the flight back, there was an open seat next to Kate. "I sat and watched people come on the plane and made quick judgements about who might sit beside her," Shanell told BuzzFeed. "Then I saw a businessman and I thought 'No, that's not who I want to sit down!'" Shanell details her relief and surprise about what happened next in her very cute "Dear 'Daddy' in Seat 16C  Flight 1850 From Philly": The moment you sat down, Kate started to rub your arm. Your jacket was soft and she liked the feel of it. You smiled at her and she said: "Hi, Daddy,
