This kinda funny. However we need funding of research in our varsities and implementing the results to the good of humanity.
Re: "Yoruba Are Genetically Immune To Lassa Fever Virus" - Prof. Christian by AreaFada2: 11:09am On Feb 08, 2016
If that is true it possibly means that at some point in the distant past, Yoruba people must have been exposed to Lassa virus. Perhaps even a Lassa epidemic.

Those who survived built immunity against it. The gene pool of resistant people gradually spread among the people.

However, immigrants from Benin empire, Idah, Benue, the North and other places intermarrying with Yoruba my have descendants with lesser or no immunity among current Yoruba people.

I don't believe this until other professors from other parts of the country confirm his research. Until then, we are still respecting garri and rats.
he might be right, ebola virus sample was also sent to the school for test, while our public schools na siddon look dem dey do with you can't graduate with soso result mentality.

[quote author=Lemon12 post=42727728] I guess yorubas are also genetically immune to Dirtiness , cultism , cowardice , laziness , brownroof-ness ?

As if no lassa case have be reported in yoruba states .[
Your Igbo father is a bastard,terrorist,drug addict,ritualist and killer.
