I said the Nigerian bank scam letters are full of highfalootin' language and twisted syntax as well as sense of urgency to cash in on available million$... no real difference here.
I then mentioned that the content was never really the issue, but rather the "Alex" tie-in, as re-posted above by Worthashot....
I guess I'm going to show my 'lack of paying attention' but, I don't have a clue who Alex is or how him being associated with a letter or post matters??
Eggie, eggie, eggie...talk about eggsasperating, lol...

I replied that it was one heck of a coincidence that it is the same "Alex" that miraculously found that Nigerian article (the one that started this entire XKEM run) from 6/18/06 by mispelling "Nicosam" in his websearch (see ihub and pennnypickers posts form june 21st to confirm). I have real problems with him being fed info to share to us and lying about the sources. I am not a basher, but I am getting more skepticle every day about XKEM.

I'm posting stories to show, if not completely, Nigeria is working to get rid of the 'scam country' image. also, that XKEM isn't the only suckers to invest in that country...in that way I feel it directly pertains to all of our investments. cause in the end, really it is us, as individual people who are investing our hard earned $ in this company
President Obasanjo reiterates determination to diversify Nigeria’s revenue base May 8, 2006, 12:00
President Olusegun Obasanjo on May 6 reiterated the Federal Government’s determination to diversify the revenue base of the Nigerian economy through accelerated growth of the non-oil sector.
President Obasanjo represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Ufot Ekaette at the opening of the Abuja International Trade Fair, affirmed that government was pursuing policies and programmes targeted at encouraging local entrepreneurs and stimulating the growth of non-oil sectors of the economy.
“A major thrust of the various economic reform programmes which we have packaged into the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) is to enable the private sector play its role more effectively as the engine of economic growth.
It is our hope that the reforms in the public sector would be complemented in the private sector with a view to restructuring operations to ensure marked increases in value addition, number of transactions, trade flows, as well as enhancing competitiveness,” he stated
He said the recent launch of One Stop Shop Investment Facilitation Service was targeted at providing a more internationally competitive, flexible, and user-friendly environment for foreign and local investors, aimed at enhancing the investment climate and lowering the cost of doing business.
He called on the organised private sector to join the federal government in its uncompromising fight against corruption and fiscal indiscipline saying that the private sector has a very critical role to play in this regard.
Minister of Commerce Idris Waziri, said fair was an avenue for industrialists and manufacturers to display Nigeria’s potentials to the whole world. Adding that the public private partnership, which government is encouraging is moving the country towards one of the most dynamic markets in the world.
it is the most informative Nigerian website I have found. Particularly to Abuja. not 1 single mention of Xechem International, nor NICOSAN.
please go there, try to find anything.
I am concerned, I have been searching, and searching for hard news from Nigeria, Africa, anywhere about the launch. I cannot find it. the site above has at least 10 other articles I have run across on other news sites. one after another had those stories. the 'computers for everyone' the 'Mittal steel' the 'AIDS/HIV drug'. they are on this site to. XKEM has NO MENTION! Xechem International, NO MENTION! NICOSAN, NO MENTION!
If I could find 1 news article. Hard News, I would feel much better.

so everyone here knows, (new to the thread since launch PR or not) I have been asking these questions (above), and looking for the negative all along.
My philosophy, yes, I have one.
"If I have bought a stock I have read enough positive DD to like it. I only look for the negative after. In other words, I really don't need positive stories to make me 'feel' any better, if I have bought it, I feel good enough about it."

Egg, there was only one mention of the launch from a news agency I had never heard of. That was part of what we were trying to do and get the people at xechem to answer questions about along with the dilution rumor. We heard nothing from anyone and that has me a little upset witht he whole thing. They should be letting us know something. Also, if you look at their pr's, I don't think you will find a mention of many of the promised things we were looking for. It was all based on rumors and reports from unverified sources.

There aren't any stories from any of those sources. The most 'reliable' source has been businessdayonline & who are they anyway? No truly respected news service has made a mention of xechem. I hope someone can prove me wrong. Please?

Nigeria has sold the patent for a sickle cell treatment developed by the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Development (NIPRD) to an American company. NIPRD workers have written to the President of Nigeria to demand sanctions against the institute’s director-general, which the workers describe as illegal. But the NIPRD boss has defended the sale of the patent, claiming that it was meant to ensure its production.
The director-general of NIPRD, Dr. Ufot Inyang said that the benefits of the deal include royalty payments to the Federal Government of Nigeria, a goodwill payment to the traditional medical practitioner, Rev. Paul Ogunyale MSC who provided the local content of the drug, and “other benefits I would not want to disclose for obvious reasons.”
In 1995, XECHEM Nigeria Limited an American based Indian owned pharmaceutical company had bought the patent formula and the right of the sickle cell amenia drug developed at the institute by Nigerians using local raw materials under what the Daily Trust newspaper calls “very secretive circumstances”.
Aggrieved workers of the NIPRD face job losses from on-going re-structuring of the institute ordered by the board of the institute and with the backing of Nigeria’s Ministry of Health which also approved the patent sale. In Inyang’s own words the restructuring and lay-offs are justified because of under-utilisation of capacity and cessation of pharmaceutical production at NIPCO a company under the institute set up in 1994. He did not explain how selling patents developed by the institute would boost Nigerian production and create jobs in the pharmaceutical sector.
Like many developing countries, Nigeria suffers from a massive brain drain of skilled and specialized human resources, with health sector professionals being a major case in point. Last month, a study conducted at the University of the Western Cape’s School of Public Health in South Africa conservatively estimates that in recent years the emigration of 21,000 Nigerian doctors to the United States cost Nigeria US$420 million but saved the US $3.8 billion in training fees.
The ‘patent drain’ arising from commercialization and liberalization of trade may just be the latest in the resource drains that make this situation worse.

Nigeria: Nigerian Scientists Claim Cure for Sickle Cell
Daily Trust (Abuja)
July 5, 2006
"...In July, 2002, Xechem International Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, signed an agreement with the National Institute of Pharmaceutical and Research Development (NIPRD) for the research, development, production and worldwide sales and marketing of NICOSAN, said to be the only known cure for the disease now discovered."

A cure for a congenital disorder of this type is impossible. There is no cure, nor will there be a cure in our lifetime. Medical science in our age and time, cannot effect cures for genetically transmitted disorders of this type.

Nigerian scams ARE legend. You know those "I have a million dollars I can't access without YOUR help" emails? Nigeria started it all.
Recently got one about an oil baron uncle I never knew I had dying in Nigeria. The exicutor of his will couldn't find his next of kin but I had the same last name and if I stepped in "I'd" inherit the fortune instead of it being ceeded to the government!!!
