Rwanda – Tongues, Malaria and Death by Trial – Clinical Trial THAT IS!!

A combination malaria treatment of Artemether and Lumefantrine: In the study done in Rwanda, British scientists have developed a technology for treating malaria in children using Artemether. [Article] [Want More News from my Great Rwanda?]

Yes we stopped reading too, we think it is truly great that the malaria treatment may help to reduce the mortality rate of us here in Rwanda, but if you read the article for what it states there was a “STUDY” done here IN Rwanda. Which may or may not entail that many to a few of us Rwandans DIED from these “STUDIES”, that’s what a clinical study is, they test out drugs on us poor people (hate to say it) by bribing us with money or whatever; we mean seriously, why would we want to purposefully have a new drug that could harm us be tested out on us.

Check the links out below to find out the horrors of these “STUDIES”

—-“A failed clinical trial HIV vaccine that left 46 Zambian women infected with the HIV virus has sparked controversy….The Microbicides Development Programme (MDP) 301 trial, which was testing if the gel PRO2000 would prevent HIV infection took place between September 2005 and 2009…..Microbicides Development Programme Zambia – a subsidiary of the UK based research entity. ” (Link: http://allafrica.com/stories/201001120938.html)

—“The six trial volunteers suffered multiple organ failure which almost killed them, after receiving injections of the drug TGN1412, a monoclonal antibody designed to calm the immune system. The drug was being trialled as a potential treatment for leukaemia, multiple sclerosis and arthritis.” (Link: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn10747-horror-clinical-trial-in-test-tube-recreation.html)

On March 13, 2006, six volunteers at Northwick Park Hospital in London were given small doses of a new drug TGN1412 that had been developed by the German biopharmaceutical company TeGenero. As is common nowadays, the trials were run not by the manufacturer but by a company that specialises in clinical trials, Parexel International Limited.The subjects all became so seriously ill that they had to be placed in intensive care.

Mr Wilson entered the trial that took place at Northwick Park Hospital to pay for driving lessons.

He and five other volunteers were paid £2,000 to be given TGN1412, created by German pharmaceutical company TeGenero, by medical research company Parexel.” (Link: http://justana-justana.blogspot.com/2008/08/dangers-of-clinical-trials.html)

Her son was encouraged to participate in a clinical trial at the University of Minnesota and other campuses comparing Seroquel, Risperdal, and Zyprexa for schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophreniform disorder, a loosely defined diagnosis for people suffering from “mood disorders with psychotic features.”

The trial was sponsored by AstraZeneca, maker of Seroquel, which put the researchers and university in an obvious conflict of interest. Dan was given 800 mg of the drug.  Over 70% of patients in the trial dropped out. But Dan was strongly dissuaded from doing so and remained in it for five months. He’d been given a directive warning that if he failed to continue in the trial, he would be put in a regional treatment center. His mother did not know about the directive until it was too late.  This is how Ms. Weiss’s message to me began, in words she wants me to share with PT readers:  “My son Dan died almost five years ago in a clinical study at the University of Minnesota, a study he lacked any diagnosis for, and a study that I tried unsuccessfully to get him out of for five months.” (Link: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/side-effects/200906/when-drug-trials-go-terribly-wrong-lessons-bereaved-mother)

SO IN  THE END WE SAY WHY WOULD RWANDANS TRUST THE BRITISH (one of the colonial powers) TO CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THEM TO HELP FIND A MALARIA VACCINE? ITS QUITE CLEAR THAT THEY ARE USING US RWANDANS AS GUINEA PIGS….WHEN WILL WE WAKE UP?

WE MEAN WOULD YOU TAKE A PLATE OF CASSAVA FROM YOUR ENEMY? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!! SO WHY WOULD YOU TAKE A TEST TRIAL DRUG?

Nigeria – With all the Educated Nigerians out there, when are WE going to overtake the oil market in the Niger Delta Region and shut down punk ass italy’s Agip oil company?

This article was titled “F**k Italy!” but for whatever reasoning maybe wonderful colonialist conditioning it has the title above. Nonetheless this is a knowledge post, we came across this article and wanted to enhance your mind!:

Gas flares are everywhere in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. But few are dramatic as the Oshie flare, owned by the Italian oil company Agip. The Oshie flare is almost on top of a village of 1,700 families, the traditional farmers and fishers of Akaraolu. The villagers were promised jobs and money when Agip first erected the flare in 1972. But none of it materialized, leaving Akaraolu with foundering fishing and agriculture and health problems as a result of the 200-hundred-foot high roaring column of flame in their midst.

Dagogo Joel’s arm was burned by the Oshie gas flare when he was a child. The flare–lit since early 70s and adjacent to Joel’s home village of Akaraolu — occasionally spews out flaming liquids on the countryside, and burned Joel’s arm while he was fishing with his father.

SO WHO THE HELL HAS A PLAN? ARE THERE ANY OIL DRILLING OR ENGINEERING SCHOOLS IN THE NIGER DELTA? OR IN NIGERIA PERIOD?

WHY THE F*CK IS ITALY STEALING OUR DAMN NATURAL RESOURCES SO EASILY?

Nigeria – Jesus and Uppercuts! Round One Right Now!

Thank you to the following individual for the information “Femi” who posted the following comment on an domestic violence article found on 234Next – the premiere Nigerian Online Newspaper [ article here]:

“Posted by Femi on May 08 2010

Evangelical Christianity has a significant role to play in disempowering Nigerian women. The idea that women should be submissive to their men as Jesus was to the Church does more harm than good. It simply does not fit with Nigerian culture, where for instance, Yoruba women always maintained separate income/revenue streams to give them independence from the foolishness of men. It is no coincidence that the piece above made several reference points to Nigerian pastors. They are the ones guilty of spreading foreign ideologies that should have no role in our society.”

NOW WHY DOES CHRISTIANITY NOT FIT IN THE NIGERIAN CULTURE? BECAUUUUSEEEEE OF…..COME ON YOU KNOW THE ANSWER……………COLONIALISM AND EUROPEAN AGGRESSION REGRESSION IS THE RIGHT WORD (they are extremely insecure and timid by nature)

We just found a great article that views Nigeria in three phases as it pertains to their horrible encounter with the british, here is an excerpt of how Northern Nigeria was mostly an Islamic and region of which with british military occupation brought about an unwanted chrisitanity

“The British military expansion into Northern Nigeria introduced Christianity to a region which had experienced over five hundred years of Islam; hence, there were religion-based skirmishes between the Muslims and the [invading] British Christians.

As Professor Aliyu Babatunde Fafunwa, a former Minister of Education in Nigeria, explains, “It was not surprising, therefore, that the advent of Christianity in Nigeria …caused a head-on collision with Islam” (100).  To aid this conquest, the British in 1903, under the leadership of Lord Lugard, launched an 800-mile military campaign, described as ‘pacifications of the North’ to bring the Northern emirates by force of arms under the authority of the British government and Christian movement (Fafunwa 101).  The result … was the formation of a number of Muslim radical movements, such as the ‘Mahdists,’ whose goal was to ‘cleanse’ the land of the British. [Source] “

So the question to those out there is the following; HOW DO YOU BRING BACK THE PRE-COLONIAL RELIGIONS AND PRACTICES?

We are sure there were less cases of domestic violence in the past………so how do we fix this?
