Ofuks: Interesting statistics...I can imagine the United Nations and donor agencies pumping foreign currency into Benue State and some sharp guys smiling to the bank. Very interesting!

Like you, I'm also Idoma from Benue. Although the statistics may have been exaggerated, it isn't far from the truth (especially in the rural areas).

Still trust the Suswan - led govt to maximize this for personal gains though.

I'd like your opinion on this. Thanks.

vanstanzy: Preach ABSTINENCE sister, that monogamous stuff and condoms u just mentioned doesn't really

make sense to mua. But on second thought, when will we really draw the line on promiscuity? To me telling people to

use condoms properly or stick to one partner is like giving them a certificate to be promiscuous. Abstinence still

remains the best answer.

[size=13pt]Everything should be preached. Because some choose to be abstinent doesn't mean others will fall in the same line. Abstinence protects against disease and pregnancy 100%. People still want to do it though. That's human nature. Rather than being close-minded and preaching one option though, preach abstinence as the most effective/best option as well as inform people of other safe options. What's happening in Benue and the rest of Nigeria is partly due to the "no sex till marriage" talk. With that kind of logic lacks information from the other side. You should see the kind of questions people ask in Romance and Sexuality. Some of them are serious and it's shocking. Parents and educators are failing in this aspect. When kids are able to stand on two feet and move themselves forward, we instruct them constantly not to run in the house, across the street, etc. When children become adolescents and their bodies are capable of doing adult things, they need to be cautioned and educated as well. Our adults need to be educated as well lol. There's never a thing as too much information/education.[/size]

ogugua88: [size=13pt]As terrifying as this news is, it was something else that caught my eye. How can the rising number of AIDS be partly attributed to a rising number of youths becoming homosexuals? I fail to see how that mention is remotely relevant. HIV/AIDS is not a "gay disease". Homosexual or not, Nigerians have unsafe intercourse. Even if the number of homosexuals in Nigeria went down, the rate of HIV/AIDS contraction will continue to rise until more people are monogamous and use condoms, which is currently the ONLY contraceptive that can prevent HIV/AIDS if used regularly and properly (excluding abstinence).[/size]

AIDS was first known among homosexuals before spreading to heterosexual people.

Am I supposed to exchange words with a brainless militant who knows nothing than vandalise and request amnesty? Don't worry, we Yorubas are educated and have value for life. Unlike you and your clueless Oga At The Top.

Next time when you and your cronies are going to vandalise, you guys should set yourselves ablaze so the money that is being wasted on y'all can be used on meaningful parts of the country.

[size=18pt]Benue girls, Bayelsa girls, Akwa Ibom girls, Edo girls, Igbo girls, and Yoruba girls are among the most promiscuous and vulnerable youths spreading HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.
Their promiscuity is linked to pornographic hip hop music and videos rampant among Nigerian youths in secondary schools and tertiary institutions.

The funny irony is the fact that Nigerian pro-sti-tu-tes are the less likely carrier of the HIV/AIDS, because they are the most active users of condoms unlike the majority of Nigerian girls who have multiple sex partners engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse with boys and men who could also be bisexual too.[/size]

The risk of contracting HIV through anal sex is way higher than vagina intercourse...

cigie: The risk of contracting HIV through anal sex is way higher than vagina intercourse...

[size=13pt]I hate repeating myself. No one is arguing that fact. Just ask yourself if back door is exclusive to homosexuals. Then, ask yourself if HIV and other disease is spread from bodily fluids. The first answer is no. The second answer is yes. Torn skin doesn't spread the disease. Infected fluids do.

Saying people are contracting HIV because they're gay is like saying people die from car crashes. No one dies from a car crash. That's not what they'll put on a death certificate. "Head trauma, collapsed lungs from impact in car crash" is more like what they'll put. Homosexuals contract HIV (most likely) from infected bodily fluids during UNSAFE SEX, transmitted via the rectum.[/size]

Lady, you are going in circles, you are identifying the CAUSE of the HIV spread which is misuse/disuse of condoms, good, but how does that change the FACT that more gays are getting infected faster than heterosexuals ehn?
Your initial post was wrong or misleading, that's all.

[size=13pt]I'm not going in circles. The main point is the cause of spreading. Or isn't that what's important? You can't stop something from spreading until you know how it's spreading.

alyarmouk: its high time the people of benue state start cautioning their govts for these gross abuse.
all in the name of getting a larger chunk of USAID funding you label your people HIV POSITIVE... thats disheartning!
its quite obvious the country pays no attention to population and statistics, so I wonder where this biopsy of the benue state govt is coming from.

I disagree with you dear. Its either you have never bn to Benue State or U av nt had an encounter with dia ladies. Try visiting any of dia LG's on a Tuesday or Thursday, its only den dat U wld realize dat ds figure might be low compared to wat is on ground.

I once served in dat state $ Gboko LG alone had about 3-4 hrt to hrt ctrs. There is no local gvt in Benue without a HIV ctr but dat doesn't change dia attitude. Its just dia way f lyf $ since the drugs are free; they feel they dnt av anything to loose. I will only advice any body having an encounter with a Benue guy or lady to be cautious.

naijathings: benue girls like to furk and their men like to steal.
it is like a curse or culture for them.
they can steal even the most senseless things and
the girls can furk even the most disfigured being (even aliens).

I bet u are either of these; misinformed, hiding the truth or totally ignorant. I am from Benue and I live here too, and I've not seen the situation as bad as u make it look. Have u bothered to ask what the level of the virus is in other very populous states? Its not a one people stuff. I can't help but love my girlfriend the more. We do our check monthly just in case. Its - - - - - - for us. As for stealing, its always an Igbo or Yoruba man leading Igbo or Yoruba boys to steal and snatch cars and maybe a Benue dude who serves as a spy. Take a stroll to NPF HQ and see for urself.
NB:::
I just mentioned tribes to make things clear. HIV is bad.......STEALING is bad. One 9ja

No but the report said this;Mrs Wende cited the attitude of the people of the state to unprotected sex and the rising number of youths becoming homosexuals as factors responsible for the rise in the scourge.

to add to what you have all said, you need to understand that homosexuality is not openly practiced and more than 50% of them have female sexual partners due to pressure from home to marry and have a relationship to disguise their real sexuality, they now infect their partners unknowingly to the partners.
A survey was carried out on homosexuals in the state and over 65% of them were found HIV positive and some of them are married.
