Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (IPCI)

I don't think this is one of the partners in whatever deal is looming..

When you look at their product list them seem to be more of a supplement company than a drug manufacture. Their facebook page says they're a supply store.

I found this on Shanghi Pharma. Seems like their trying to make a move in the generic market in mainland China. Would explain their interest in IPCI.

As for Smart Pharam

I get the feeling this maybe it. Not sure obviously but it seems to be based in China and they appear to be a manufacturer.

But then who the hell knows when the only source of this news is a Nigerian ministers twitter account. I really hate investing in this stock :P
