My Reflections On The Just Concluded EKSUSUG Elections.

All Praises and Adorations are due to The Almighty God, who in his infinite mercies kept us all till this moment. It is your air we breathe, and in your mercies we thrive. The schedule, planning, conduct and supervision of this election won't have been possible without you being in charge. We are grateful.

Personally, I think it would also be right if I appreciate the Management of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, who were thoughtful enough to give a green light to the conduct of elections into various offices of the Student Union Government of our great institution.

I dare not underestimate the unrelenting efforts of the Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. I G Adanlawo and other members of the team that conducted and supervise the election. They had worked very hard and tirelessly to ensure the successful conduct of the election. I pray God Almighty reward you abundantly.

Temitope Awelewa and the EKSUSU PRESS Team were also very active in the successful planning and conduct of the election. We won't forget so soon how enlightening the Manifesto organized by EKSUSU PRESS was. History would remember you all for good. Keep it up!

The outcome of any election is quite simple and straightforward. Winners would emerge and so also losers. But the winners are not only the ones that emerged victorious and got elected, winners are all the stakeholders; Electoral Officers, Candidates and Voters that participated in any successful election. The losers are those who failed in their quest to destabilize the election. Yes! We all won!!!

To the candidates whose hope to represent us as Executive Members of the Student Union has been dashed, I ask you to remain calm and law abiding. Channel your aggressions to the Tribunal. Am very sure you would be given fair attention.

The voting system did what it was designed to do. It delivered a majority Government. It delivered government to those who were successful in convincing the majority of voters that they are the right representative EKSUSUG deserves.

I took some comfort from the fact that I observed the elections in the Faculties of Science and Education. I am clear in my opinion, that the election is credible, free and fair.

Congratulations to the candidates who emerged victorious at the polls. I ask you to deliver on your electioneering promises. That's the only way, history can remember you for good. I wish you good luck.

Kind regards,

Enjoy the use of Condom this Valentine. Thailand tells citizens

Valentine is fast approaching and the Government of Thailand have decided to launch a campaign to help its citizens that are too shy to buy condoms. They will therefore distribute condoms in large quantities to the citizens in a campaign tagged "Condoms for Confidence". According to Thongchai Lertwilairattanapong of the Ministry of Public Health, ‎" ‎This valentine, there is a high tendency of people, most especially youths getting involved in unprotected sex". "Teenagers, especially, do not have to be embarrassed about buying condoms. The ‎s ociety also have to accept that teenage girls buy condoms, which is better than more teenage girls getting pregnant. We have to persuade Thais to accept condoms as a hygiene item in everyday life to protect against pregnancy and AIDS".

Cell-Associated HIV Transmission Contributes To HIV Epidemic

Dr. Deborah Anderson from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and her colleagues are challenging dogma about the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Most research has focused on infection by free viral particles, while this group proposes that HIV is also transmitted by infected cells. While inside cells, HIV is protected from antibodies and other antiviral factors, and cell-to-cell virus transmission occurs very efficiently through intercellular synapses. The Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID) has devoted their December supplement to this important and understudied topic. The 10 articles, four from researchers at BUSM, present the case for cell-associated HIV transmission as an important element contributing to the HIV epidemic. Anderson chides fellow researchers for not using cell-associated HIV in their transmission models: "The failure of several recent vaccine and microbicide clinical trials to prevent HIV transmission may be due in p...
