Abali1:

My siblings are okay. I am SS.
Can you just quit playing god, cos I have lived and seen the so called "healthy Men and Women" get buried.
IT IS ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD THAT HAS THE FINAL SAY. NOT YOU

Abali1:

I don't care where you claim to be working, but please stop feeding the public with false myth.
Pray tell, how long can a AIDS patient who takes his/her drugs religiously have to live. You "mister working in a clinical setup" can you knowingly have canal knowledge with a AIDS patient?
There are sicklers out there who live a more healthier life than most people who think that they are healthy.
Sickle Cell Disease is a genetic disorder that can be well managed with good diet and modern medicine.
In case you are wondering I have been living with SCD for more than 30 years and I have achieved far more than your average Healthy person; academically, financially, and yes I have great reltionship with the opposite sex. Soon, by His Grace I will be tying the knot with my beloved.

Enigift: My neighbour n her husband r both AS and the what to go for prenatal genotype screening.pls were in nageria can this be done and at what cost

remzytimer: For AS-AS there is a possibility of them having the first two children without an SS but anyone thereafter will surely be an SS....So' its risky' beware!

Rustic: i knw one wt seven kids both parents are AS.
First child_SS female
second_AS male
third_AA male
fourth_AS female
fifth_AA female
sixth_SS female
seventh_AS female.
The man was lucky that hs two sons were free.
Bt never u try to take that risk pls.

Who is talking about canal knowledge with HIV patients? What gave you that impression that an HIV patient could not raise a family and rare children like u and me? And who told you that an HIV patient could not live to an old age? Have you ever heard of Magic Johnson, the usa former basketball player? I will excuse your attack on my personality. Get more fact about HIV and you would be surprised how good living they could be while on ART without any fear of crisis. But, how are you sure you have achieved more than my average healthy person; academically and financially? Please spare me all that I don't want to know what u have achieved or otherwise. Don't stigmatise. A well managed HIV person can Live a better life like you and me. EOD.

Abali1:
I am sorry for attacking your person, but your above conclusion "A well managed HIV person can live a better life like you and me" is a far cry from the stigma type of conclusion you earlier posted.
Why, I asked if one can knowingly have canal knowledge of a AIDS patient is because most marriages take s.exual satisfaction into consideration.
And I do not mean to brag about what I have achieved, but Stigmatising SS people based on your own a few contact with them is wrong.
A SS who feeds well and stick to the drugs that work well with his/her system will live a healthy and fulfilling life.
SS is a Genetic disoder and not a Death sentence.

ACM10:
If Chorionic Villous Sampling(CVS) reveals that the foetal genotype is SS, what are u gonna do? Abort the baby?
Maybe you should lecture us on how CVS will prevent couples from having a sickler baby apart from abortion.

jidabod:

You opted for CVS when you could avoid 'everything' before venturing into marriage.

All some are talking about faith & knowledge, I doubt if you lot have had personal experience with a sickler.

Amazondepth: . See d kind of mentality that will keep so many permanently in bondage.After u go say na from village dem dey attack u.God has provided knowledge and wisdom yet u disregard it in d name of faith and miracle seeking.it is well with u but abeg don't go about deceiving pple cos sadly so many nigerians are gullible.

Toktee: It iz only a fool that says there iz no God and i have seen one already,people like you go to church just because you dont have anything doing at home,i would advice you to stop wasting time

tobtap: it matter alot to know each other genotype,but from most AS-AS marriage dat i know of....the result is as follow
first child-AA
second child-AS
third child- AS
fourth child-SS
so judging by dis,it ok if u wont have more than two kids.....just my own opinion

candieangel12:


I thought the thread was about Genotypes...when did this turn into a thread about Religion?

ACM10:
I did not opt for CVS. Read my comment again

blogger2tooker:
PS I DO KNOW ABOUT THE CAPSLOCK BUTTON BUT CHOOSE THE BOLD LETTERS INSTEAD. ON THE CONTRARY FOLKS LIKE YOU ARE A MOCKERY OF CHRISTIANITY. IF MY LIFE IS STRANGE TO YOU BECAUSE YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND IT LET ME LIVE THE LIFE I HAVE DELIBERATELY CHOSEN.

YOU WANT TO TELL ME THAT AS A CHILD OF GOD IF I AM STUCK IN A DESERT AND THE ONLY WATER AVAILABLE TO DRINK IS POISONED THAT I SHOULD NOT BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD THAT SAYS THAT IF I DRINK ANY DEADLY THING IT SHALL NOT HURT ME AND DIE OF THIRST? BE IT AIDS OR CANCER OR WHATEVER ELSE IS DEADLY, THESE PEOPLE ARE LOVED BY GOD SAME WAY YOU ARE. YOU CALL IT A BAD PATH BUT I CALL IT A FAITH PATH. IT IS A DELIBERATE PATH FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE DELIBERATELY CHOSEN TO TRUST GOD. YOU SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME.

Toktee: Look like you just woke up,ask ACM,we are talking about genotype and what God can do in this case where many are arguing that iz better to believe a mans report in choseen a wife,i know that you are very good at blind argument but i will advice you not to pick on me ok

nikky341:
4 me i think this option should be taken by people already in a marraige not by people who can avoid it. like i said its not as eazy asit sounds

Rolly83: Pls i would like to know,what if i'm AA and she is SS can one get married(Doctors in the house pls respond).

Rolly83: Pls i would like to know,what if i'm AA and she is SS can one get married(Doctors in the house pls respond).

Ojeremi: days are gone when AS were forbidden to marry AS.As things stands now both can marry .Why?
D fact is that for each birth dia is 25percent risk of having SS,25 percent 50percent AS.
Although science has nt bn able to tell us how to know which one will be b4 pregnancy,however it has bn found dt genotype of a foetus cn b determined at 12wks of gestatn via chorionic villus sampling,so if it is SS,it cn b therapeutically aborted.u may questn ds bt wht will u do wn u do d routine anomaly scan at 20wks of gestatn and u find ov d foetus has no head,remove it or keep it 4 9months

jude33084:

In many villages they call them different spiritual names like Abiku, in my place its igbakhuan
Ignorance at its highest level

They think τhe child comes to earth to frustrate his/her parent meanwhile they are just sicklers.

God has given us wisdom aŋԂ knowledge so pls let's embrace it aŋԂ use it.

Harpesin:

Try and find out what Abiku is all about, they are the kind of children that belong to black world like Emere in Yoruba....Abiku is far diff from sickler, Abiku can repeat itself in a family more than 3times......have witnessed what Abiku is all about wen i was in the villa, this girl came into this particular more than 3 times, on the 4th time the father had to cut one of the girl finger and behold wen having the 5th child it was a girl with 9fingers....have you heard where they will tell a pregnant woman not to walk about late in the night or mid day? why do you think some pregnant women do attach safety pin to their cloth when going out....though most of this are not common again due to xtianity n faith in God....if you see a Abiku, take them to the hospital doctor will only be giving diff kind of name but can not ascertain the problem....What about convulsion aka (giri or ile gbona ) in yoruba land....can you relate that to SS or AS of a thing....and that is one of the tactics of Abiku...Abiku have an appointed time of dying as per the covenant made in their black world.....Go to villa now Abiku is not that common cos people are now giving their life to Christ and commiting eveything into God's hand / prayerful......not that they belief in Genotype of a thing.....Guy dont be fool by all this white mentality...even the white respect our tradition and they embrace it more than we do....believing all about them is what made us a slave to them till today....Wise up and be happy as an African......also move closer to God, in God's Agenda for me and my generation nothing like Genotype........cos its man's report....The just shall leave by faith....

You need to be exorcized of Nollywood and Yoruba movies demon

afosam4real: Bloog2tooker and ACM10 have put a good argument on the subject under discussion.
Nevertheless,‎​​‎​​I'll only advise that if partners have such a strong faith or clear conviction from God to marry each other,‎​​I suggest they go ahead;and if not,they should not venture into such marriage. I think it will ‎​be good to always ‎​be at the safer side instead of tying God to some simple things we should have ordinarily use our common sense to sort out.
If partners who are both AS genotype say they have faith in God and go ahead to marry each other and at the end of the day they give birth to SS child,they shouldn't think God has changed even when their heart desires are not met that doesn't mean God is not God. He will forever remain God.
Having such faith to me is like tempting God. So try to ‎​be at the safer side. God bless you all.
