A pig kidney has been successfully transplanted into a living human, a United States hospital announced on Thursday.

Massachusetts General Hospital said the genetically-edited pig kidney was transplanted into a 62-year-old man living with end-stage kidney disease.

Surgeons from the Mass General Transplant Centre conducted the four-hour surgery on Saturday.

The operation was a milestone in xenotransplantation – transplantation of organs or tissues from one species to another as a potential solution to the worldwide organ shortage,” the hospital said.

The kidney came from a pig that was genetically-edited to remove harmful pig genes and add certain human genes to improve its compatibility with humans.

Scientists also inactivated porcine endogenous retroviruses in the pig donor to eliminate any risk of infection in humans.

Meta to introduce feature that allows Nigerian creators to monetise their content.

Meta - the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads - is set to launch a new feature on its Instagram and Facebook app in June 2024, aimed at empowering Nigerian creators to monetize their content and earn a livelihood through the platform.

This announcement was made by Meta’s President of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg, following a meeting with President Tinubu at the presidential villa earlier today, March 21.

Speaking after the meeting, Clegg expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for facilitating an executive order crucial to the landing of Meta-backed deep-sea cable infrastructure in Nigeria.

He said, “It is an extraordinary infrastructure project. When it comes on stream in the first quarter of 2025, it will be twice as much as the capacity of all subsea cables that exist.

“We buried the cable 50 per cent deeper than any other subsea cables under the seabed.”

He further emphasized the cable’s potential economic impact, saying: “It could yield up to 37 billion dollars worth of increase in economic activity in the next two or three years across the African continent.”

Clegg added: “We have a lot to do with Nigeria to deepen partnerships.”

Announcing the new feature, he said: “We will, in June 2024, introduce a feature on our Instagram app that will allow Nigerian creators to monetize their content to enable them to earn a living using the app.”

“Prayer is important but please always visit the hospital too”- X user warns as she shares the story of a sick woman who was misled by a man of God

Former Steinhoff CEO Markus Jooste has committed su!cide, a day after the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) handed him a R475 million fine.

Police said an inquest case docket had been registered following the d£ath of a 63-year-old man. They did not name the deceased.

“It is alleged that the victim sustained a gunshot wound at around 1520 (local time) at Kwaaiwater and succumbed to d£ath on his way to hospital,” Western Cape police spokesperson Colonel Andre Traut said in a statement, referring to a suburb of the coastal town of Hermanus near Cape Town.

Traut said police were investigating the circumstances, adding that no foul play was suspected.

South African broadcaster Newzroom Afrika has now cited sources who confirmed Jooste shot himself during an arrest. The Financial Times said Jooste died of a gunshot wound, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Jooste, who was instrumental in transforming Steinhoff from a small Johannesburg furniture outfit into a multinational retailer, was handed a hefty fine for accounting fraud on Wednesday, March 20.

He was fined 475 million rand ($25.2 million) on Wednesday for publishing false and misleading Steinhoff annual financial statements and annual reports for the 2014 to 2016 years and the 2017 half-year.

Steinhoff revealed holes in its accounts in December 2017, the first sign of an accounting fraud that led to the near-collapse of the retail group, which is the majority owner of South African and European discount retailers Pepkor and Pepco.

The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, passed a bill that was sent to it by President Bola Tinubu for the upward review of salaries, allowances, and fringe benefits for judicial officers nationwide for the third reading.

Other justices of the Supreme Court are to earn annual basic salaries and regular allowances of over N60m annually.

The development received the backing of various Senior Advocates of Nigeria, as they insisted that well-remunerated judicial officers would be less susceptible to corruption.

“The ring leader is on the run. He gave all of them the same arrival date and when they arrived, he collected their money from them, asked them to stay in that room and left with a promise to be back, only to abandon them and go back to Cameroon.”

Yemen rebel attacks on Red Sea disrupt internet, banking services in Nigeria
Nigerian banks and internet providers are experiencing disruption in their services as Yemen’s Houthi rebels continue their attacks on the Red Sea.

Citing officials, the Associated Press on Thursday reported that “three cables” under the Red Sea were cut as Yemen’s Houthi rebels sustained an attack in the area with telecommunications infrastructure under the sea.

“Three cables under the Red Sea that provide global internet and telecommunications have been cut as the waterway remains a target of Yemen’s Houthi rebels,” the report said.

According to AP, what cut the lines remains unclear.

There has been concern about the cables being targeted in the Houthi campaign, which the rebels describe as an effort to pressure Israel to end its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Telecommunications customers and banking clients faced a lengthy inconvenience due to the disturbance that caused a halt in online transactions and internet connectivity.

The Houthi militants have denied attacking the lines, however.

Health workers seeking jobs abroad have been directed by the federal government to resign before leaving the country.

Minister of State for Health, Tunji Alausa, who announced the executive order during a visit to the Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, Ogun state, on Saturday, March 9, said the era of health workers exiting the country after applying for a leave of absence is no longer acceptable.

The Minister also said they are training more health workers to address the shortage of personnel in the sector.

Alausa said;

“You cannot eat your cake and have it. If you are going, just resign your appointment with the Federal Government rather than applying for a leave of absence. That is the presidential executive order that has been communicated to all the Chief Medical Directors of Federal Government-owned health facilities to implement.

“The problem with the leave of absence is that such a fellow is out there in the UK or Australia working, making money but his name still appears on the payment roll of the government and so to replace him is difficult because he is still being considered as a staff whereas he has left the country.

“So, to solve this problem, the President has directed that health workers going abroad to work should just resign their appointments and not apply for leave of absence. This way, you won’t be blocking others who want to work and of course piling burdens for your colleagues that you left behind.”

Minister of Finance, Olawale Edun, has said the Central Bank of Nigeria printing N22.7 trillion in the name of Ways and Means loan under the government of former president Muhammadu Buhari and ex-CBN governor Godwin Emefiele caused the rising inflation and economic hardship currently being witnessed in the country.

Speaking during an interface with the Senate Committee on Finance on Wednesday, March 7, Edun said the Ways and Means loans under the past administration were done aimlessly.

He promised to ensure that Tinubu’s government would audit the CBN printing in the last eight years.

The Minister said;

“We talked about inflation, and you helped solve that. Where has it come from? It came from the eight years of printing money not matched by productivity. it’s not like when you earn dollars and free the naira alongside it, although there’s even a better way than that. But that’s still not as bad.

“You distinguished senators have helped. You have given us the mandate to raise N7tn, which we will do by sucking money from the market, using it to pay back the Central Bank and giving the government a balanced book. We are going to audit even the N22.7 trillion printed aimlessly.”

Okuama k!llings: I don’t think those who committed the crime are from Niger Delta- Senate President, Godswill Akpabio Senate President, Godswill Akpabio says he doesn’t believe that those behind the k!lling of sixteen military personnel in Okuama community in Ughelli South local government area of Delta state last week, are from the Niger Delta region. Speaking during plenary today, March 19, Akpabio countered a motion raised by Senator Edeh Dafinone, who represents Delta Central, calling for relief and assistance to people of the community who suffered retaliation attacks following the k!lling of soldiers, who were on a peace keeping mission in their community. Over the weekend, several houses in the community were b¥rned down, and there have been reports of several d€aths. Reacting to Dafinone’s motion, Akpabio asked the lawmaker not to conclude yet and that an investigation has to be carried out to determine the culprits behind the dastard act. In his words; ‘’I don’t want you to conclude. I don’t believe these people are from the Niger Delta – those who did the k!llings. We respect men and women in uniform, that is why I am saying that your additional prayers should actually be ‘to carry out a thorough investigation to know whether these people were mercenaries from outside Niger Delta who came to commit this crime because I don’t think these people are Niger Deltans. We are not at war. Even in the face of war, to lose such number of personnel…. No community will go to the extent of doing this kind of thing. I don’t think they are from Niger Delta. I think the first point should be that we should first establish the culprits who committed this crime. We must take it seriously. Supposing they are not from Niger Delta? Supposing they are not even Nigerians? And we now come and talk about giving relief materials to …people should pay for the consequences of their crime. I will not support relief material’’
