entering India, saying his country does not need
Nigerian tourists.
 Naik stated this while
speaking to some reporters recently
“Nigerians come here and do ‘dadagiri’ in Delhi,
Bengaluru and the entire country. We should move
Nigerians out of here… Have they come here to study?
Are they really studying? Are they really going to
college, schools? This has to be probed. It is very
important,” he said We do not want
Nigerian tourists. “They create problems everywhere…The Central government should ban
Nigerians.

Breaking News: Keshi's Death Is Umtimely

Former Nigerian football team Captain and coach,
Stephen Keshi, is dead.
His family announced that he died of cardiac
arrest early hours of today, Wednesday June 8.
Stephen OkechukwuKeshi CON was 54 year old at the
time of his death. This is contained in a statement by
the family, signed by Emmanuel Ado.
“With thanksgiving to God, the Ogbuenyi Fredrick Keshi
family of Illah in Oshimili North Local Government Area
of Delta State, announces the death of Mr. Stephen
Okechukwu Chinedu Keshi,” Mr. Ado said in the
statement.
He continued “Our son, brother, father, father-in-law,
brother-in-law, has gone to be with his wife of 35
years (Nkem ), Mrs. Kate Keshi, who passed on,on 9th
December 2015.
“Since her death, Keshi has been in mourning. He came
back to Nigeria to be with her. He had planned to fly
back today Wednesday, before he suffered a cardiac
arrest. He has found rest.”
“He was not ill at all, never showed any signs of
illness, but we suspect he never got over the death of
his wife,” a friend in Benin said.
He is survived by four children and his mother.
Keshi, the only Nigerian coach to have won the Africa
Cup of Nations, achieved that feat in 2013 by becoming
the only second person to win the trophy both as a
player and a coach.
The other person to have achieved the feat is Egypt’s
Mahmoud El-Gohary.
Keshi, a product of St. Finbarr’s College, Akoka, Lagos,
started his playing career at a very young age at ACB
Football Club, and later played for New Nigeria Bank,
Stade d’Abidjan, Africa Sports, Lokeren, Anderlecht, RC
Strasbourg, and a host of other clubs.
He represented Nigeria from 1982, at age 20, till 1994,
most of the time captaining the Super Eagles and
scoring vital goals from his position as a central
defender.
He also coached Togo and Nigeria at the World Cup, as
well as Mali.
Keshi, nicknamed the “Big Boss” for his leadership
skills, is the fifth member of the all-conquering 1994
team to die, following Uche Okafor, Thompson Oliha,
Rashidi Yekini and Wilfred Agbonavbare.
Though deeply mourning the shock exit, Mr. Emmanuel
Ado said the family remained grateful to God for the life
spent by the Big Boss.

Scientist: We Can Now Grow Human Organs In Pigs

Scientists have successfully combined human stem
cells and pig DNA – with the aim of growing a human
organ inside a pig.
But critics say the development of such hybrids is
‘offensive to human dignity’.
The ‘chimera’ embryos have been implanted in living
sows and allowed to grow for 28 days before being
tested and destroyed.
A team from the University of California has created a
“genetic niche” in the pigs’ DNA which will allow them
to inject human stem cells into the pig embryos.
The researchers hope the resulting foetus will grow a
pancreas made almost entirely of human cells -
although in the current trials the pregnancies will be
terminated after 28 days.
Reproductive biologist Professor Pablo Ross, who is
leading the research, said: “Our hope is that this pig
embryo will develop normally but the pancreas will be
made almost exclusively out of human cells and could
be compatible with a patient for transplantation.
“We think there is a very low potential for a human
brain to grow.”
Pigs are thought to be an ideal biological incubator for
growing human organs, and could potentially be used
to create not just a pancreas, but hearts, livers, kidneys
lungs and corneas.
He said transplanting such organs to human patients in
need of transplants could be done without the need for
immunosuppressive drugs which can carry significant
side-effects.
The work is controversial and last year the main US
medical research agency imposed a funding limit
because of concerns that the human cells might
migrate to developing the foetal pig’s brain, making the
animal more human.
Britain is currently suffering an acute organ donor
shortage , mainly due to medical advances which are
saving more lives following accidents, and 429 people
died in 2014 waiting for a transplant.
Experts believe the so-called “chimera” technique
being developed in California is likely to be approved by
the Home Office.
But animal rights campaigners are questioning the use
of animals to grow human organs.
Peter Stevenson, from Compassion in World Farming,
said: “I’m nervous about opening up a new source of
animal suffering. Let’s first get many more people to
donate organs.”
