Aint we nigerians hypocritical? I am from benue and i know the kind of remarks we received when benue was ranked 1st in hiv prevalence. People made worse jokes.

I remember when a forumite here was posted to benue for nysc and he opened a thread asking for advise on how to prevent getting infected by benue girls. You needed to see the advice people where giving.

"Dont even near benue girls" "double your condom" et al.
And now we want to cast the first stone on someone else? sacco sure deserved what she got but most of us aint different.

wallflower:

No one, it originated right here in west Africa, it was transmitted from chimpanzees to humans.

Read a book.
that's the wrong information people have about it but really it was created by humans to reduce population.Dr robert gallo was the chief heinsman and the goal is to cut population just like how thr georgian guard stone read 'reduce world population from 7b to 500million asap'.what's disturbing is that hiv seems to have its strongest strain in africa and some caucasians are immune to the virus.make you wonder the sinister plan that been maped out against the black.africa needs to work together and get advanced beyond word or else we wud wake up one morning and we would be attacked.I don't trust whites.

...people say a lot of nice things about Africa. Why do we make it a point to publicize the hurtful ones?
The statement should have at best, been ignored. Not tweeted and re-tweeted. And given world wide publicity.

Seun: When rich & powerful old men do racist things, we keep quiet, but when someone harmless & vulnerable makes a dumb joke, we go crazy. We're attacking her not because she deserves it but because it is easier to attack some lady than to attack the racists doing real damage.
are trying to say that we should also keep our mouth shut because shes a dumb lady....so we should continue keeping quite when people mis-yarn?

Stop being childish and capitalizing on the grammatical use of the word in question. This is a public forum where anybody is likely to make mistake with spellings, grammatical errors and so on. As long as the reference is clear enough it good to go with. That is, take the reference to mean what is the actual meaning of the word. Please! lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed .Keep dwelling on PREVALENT as in PREVALENCE for the case in question. It doesn't change the subject of the matter.


Yes, the prevalence rate for SA is 18.10% to say. Sorry, I mistake the Nigerian prevalence rate for your country. Nevertheless, it is clear your country is even far worse that the USAID report looking at that. That is about 9.1 million of your total population.Indeed, This your inquisition has finally helped us to see that it is even a worse case scenario. Source


Thank you for nothing.

Dude, i've been studying the HIV crises in Africa, hence i took interest in your dumb comments and incorrect sts. I can tell that you're still clueless, all the links you gave including the current one state a figure of 5,6million yet you're still throwing your own incorrect figures. Do you know anything about the epidemiology of HIV?

I am not interested in your research activity. All I am interested in is for you to prove your point and explain how you arrived at that number. In my understanding you only want us to accept the 16% as the right figure which is not.

Oh,please! What a layman excuse. The Wikipedia writer states 18.10% in the source I posted earlier. 18.10% of 50 million population gives the figure I presented to you earlier. I don't know why you cannot agree with a clear statistic like that one.

Your way of reasoning is mind boggling - instead of CONDEMNING the US/EU who imposed sanctions unjustly on Zimbabwe you are actually mocking the victims of those sanctions - is something wrong with you?

Its like me taking back my stolen watch from you and you turning around to ban anyone from doing any kind of business with me for simply exercising my right to get back my stolen watch - JEEZ SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE MIND OF MANY AFRICANS IF THIS IS THE WAY WE THINK.

if black Zimbabweans are not the rightful owners who are the rightful owners the white Europeans who murdered, rap.d and burnt the homes of the indigenous people in order to get hold of the land?

are the occupants of land in Abuja, lagos and port Harcourt white Europeans ? are they not Nigerians - WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN?

CAN YOU GO TO ANY VILLAGE IN THE UK kill the occupants, ra.pe the women, burn down their houses and set up a black only settlement there - TRY IT IF YOU WANT TO COMMITT SUICIDE!!

I guess u think u are making sense, Sorry u are not.

Uthetha amasimba, as always. Get over your obsession and face your stinking miserable life. Its the festive season we need a break from cursing you, please go get your blowup doll and get busy.Geeez what a pest!

You know me so well that I can be insulting at times when faced with wrong accusations ! Don't you even go there because you will hate why you ever dare me with abusive approaches. I still want to remain modest in my approach to you for the simple reason you are a woman. You need to start behaving like one.

Thank you

Bwahahaha, This guy is still on with his anti-SA crusade, and you do know that SA has the lowest infection rate in africa while nigeria has the highest in the world, and there's the embarrassing polio, yellow fever, kidnapping and cannibalism tltltltl. grin grin who's desgracing who? grin grin

anyway my zulu master, enjoy your christmas, and try not to think of SA.

This is what the 'Rainbow nation' has to offer us at their beach! It is refreshing to see how they are displaying their women big bootays as though we want them. Bwahaha... This is the nation of promiscuity indeed.

Doesn't that photo represent the opposite of reality that SA has the world worst HIV/AIDS cases?! Bwahaha...

This is an attempt for you to have self-confidence yet it is done wrongly, if you ask me though.

I am not pointing to you. Relax, dude.I know you can debate. So lets do that as civilized people here. Let's speak about the topic and the reason why this lady has to be so much concerned about her health in Africa all rather SA of all places. You would agree with me that it is out of fear of the condition of thing she has seen on TV about SA HIV/AIDS that really made her to tweet that way.

Jeez! I never said Nigeria doesn't have it bad sides but people are not trumpeting to the world to be African most-developed nation, that is supposed to be civilized and organized. The reverse is always the case for your country. It is annoying to be seeing your country keeps letting the continent down even with all the potentials the people claimed to have. Please!!!

And, one thing, I am not primitive Zulu and I don't want to be called Zulu master.

Merry Christmas to you. I am Atheist though!

Thank you.
