Wizkid Had A Fun Day Out with Nigerian Idol Contestants

It looked like they had plenty of fun and excitement as the contestants of the Nigerian Idol Season 3 spent an activity full day on the island with Nigerian pop music star Wizkid on Monday the 25th February 2013. The outing was sponsored by Pepsi.

Their first stop was Raddison Blu hotel. The eager contestants joined Wizkid at the gym. One lesson they definitely learned from the star was “You must keep fit”. With the type of energy needed to keep the crowd entertained, that is one tip they definitely need to use.

From the hotel, their next stop was some singing lessons from ‘Weezy’. He emphasized that they need to “Always believe in yourself and your ability”.

They had some airtime with the Beat 99.9 FM. The contestants shared some on air presence with Wizkid and got to meet with Toolz O, Bovi who dropped by and the rest of the Beat FM team.

HIV Infection Cured Through Very Early Treatment

HIV Infection Cured Through Very Early Treatment

Researchers say they have, for the first time, cured a baby born with HIV -- a development that could help improve treatment of babies infected at birth.

A baby girl in Mississippi who was born with HIV has been cured after very early treatment with standard HIV drugs, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday, in a potentially ground-breaking case that could offer insights on how to eradicate HIV infection in its youngest victims.

The child's story is the first account of an infant achieving a so-called functional cure, a rare event in which a person achieves remission without the need for drugs and standard blood tests show no signs that the virus is making copies of itself.

More testing needs to be done to see if the treatment would have the same effect on other children, but the results could change the way high-risk babies are treated and possibly lead to a cure for children with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
