You are mistaken!

What you call brothels are Research Laboratories where extensive research is being carried out to assist Mankind via various fields of study i.e:
- Bedmatics
- Sexploration
- Phuknetics
- Screwws Dynamics
- Advanced Konjilitics shocked

& of course...

Strategic Oloshoism grin!

You can't beat that curriculum...It's part of why konji-harrassed souls are flocking there like ants to sugar from all over the planet and the babes are only loyal to the dough.


N.B
Let other f00ls kip living in denial and not assist their guvnor in structuring an wholistic effective framework for cleaning up the state's trending sociocultural dynamics now.
When the spillover effect starts reaching homes, schools, churches etc and the collateral damages start mounting up in number of daughters, sisters, wives, husbands, sons affected; then their eyes will all clear angry!

Can we get the average age of Nairalanders? I really want to know how old the people posting these comments are. If adults are posting these, then we are totally bleeped.

The problem is more than that
When we have a national problem which cannot be confined to a state/region, some people will be speaking about party, region or religion

It is not everybody that is 18 and above that should get a voter's card
They should carry out IQ or maturity or whatever test before allowing people to vote

It is an insult to have the same one vote with some people
Can you imagine somebody asking if the governor is working with Min of Health, a governor who appointed a Commissioner for Health!

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a global pandemic that continues to affect millions of people worldwide and the vast majority of people living with HIV are from low and middle-income countries

In Nigeria, the number of people living with HIV and being diagnosed with AIDS has been steadily increasing. In the first wave in 1986, AIDS emerged through infected blood products in a six-year-old girl diagnosed at the Nigeria Institute of Medical Research (NIMR)
Nigeria is no more in denial of the virus, thus at every gathering of experts, discussions on how to increase funding for preventions and care for those already infected dominates discussions. While these are so at the national levels, states ,and Local government areas are playing lip services or simply do not see HIV as a development issue.

In Imo State, HIV is regarded as an old school disease, and life goes on as the youth cares less about the virus. The state government is the worst of it all. For over 12 years, there is no single coordinated effort to control the viral spread of the epidemic. World Bank support fund to control the virus has been hanging in the air for over 10 years and the government wants to divert the fund for other uses. Incredibly offensive to the control of the virus, the state government sees HIV as a non-issue and therefore a complete waste of the resources. HIV Program Development Project2 (HPDP2) was established to support HIV/AIDS national response in Nigeria. Imo State Agency for the Control of AIDS (ImoSACA) received funding from the World Bank towards the cost of the second HIV/AIDS Program Development Project (HPDP 2).

HPDP2 is a project in Nigeria supported by the World Bank within the overall framework of the National Strategic Framework aimed at repositioning prevention of new infection as the major focus of the National HIV/AIDS response as entrenched in the National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan (NSP) 2010-2015. Sadly, the government sees this fund as one of the largess from the international agency that could be used for other developments instead of the HIV/AIDS prevention, regrettably the state will lose this fund due to its glutton and insistence to divert the fund.
Already, Imo State leads other states in the South East in the prevalence rate of the virus and this means nothing to the State government.
More worrisome is the lifestyle of young men and young women in Imo State. Men trade sex, just like every young girl in the state is actively involved in commercial sex
.

A study conducted to determine the incidence cases of HIV/AIDS infection in Owerri West L.G.A. Of Imo State, Nigeria, between April 2007 and September, 2009 showed that a total number of 17964 patients made up of 1110 (16.3%) females and 6954 (38.7%) males were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS infection; statistical analysis shows that 1462 (8.1%) patients were infected with HIV/AIDS. From this number, 1218 (83.3%) patients aged 25 years and above were most infected with HIV/AIDS while 244 (16.7%) patients aged below 24 years were also infected.
The State witnessed the highest HIV and AIDS prevalence in 1999 which was 7.8%, in 2001 it dropped to 4.3%, 2003 to 3.1% it rose to 3.9% in 2005, 4.6% in 2008 and 7.5 % in 2014. The State epidemic is a mixed epidemic and factors that aid escalation of HIV and AIDS in the State include high commercial sex rate, low perception of risk of contracting the disease, high use of alcohol, use of psychoactive agents, high mobility of the people, early sexual exposure, multiple sexual partners, gender issues, non-marital sexual relationship and high transactional sex (ERPS, 2008).
With the foregoing, the state will experience a trajectory wave of the HIV/AIDS explosion of probably more than what is being witnessed in the high prevalence states

Chances of getting infected with HIV/AIDS in Rivers state, Nigeria’s oil-rich city is pretty high as it ranks number one in the country.

There’s loads of money in Rivers, so is the vulnerability of its citizens and residents to HIV/AIDS.

According to the HIV/AIDS prevalence ranking by states published by National Agency for the Control of Aids (NACA) after the 2013 National Aids Reproductive Health Survey, Rivers sits pretty at the top 4.7 per cent more than number two, Taraba state.

The ranking also came as a result of test carried out on persons living with HIV/AIDS.

It showed that Rivers with 15.2 per cent topped the new prevalence chat, as Taraba with 10.5 per cent is second, while Kaduna has 9.2 per cent to be on the third.

Nasarawa, FCT, Akwa Ibom, Sokoto and Oyo are on the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth spots respectively on the prevalence rate chart with 8.1, 7.5, 6.5, 6.4, 5.6 and 5.6 per cent respectively.

On number 10 is Yobe with 5.3%. Here’s how other states rank: Cross River – 4.4%, Ondo – 4.3%, Gombe – 3.4%, Abia – 3.3%, Bayelsa – 2.7%, Osun – 2.6%, Imo – 2.5%, Borno – 2.4%, Plateau – 2.3%, Lagos – 2.2%, Jigawa – 2.1%, Adamawa – 1.9%, Kwara – 1.4%, Kogi – 1.4%, Kano – 1.3%, Enugu – 1.3%, Niger – 1.2%, Anambra – 1.2%, Ebonyi – 0.9%, Kebbi – 0.8%, Edo – 0.8%, Delta – 0.7%, Ogun – 0.6%, Bauchi – 0.6%, Zamfara – 0.4%, Ekiti – 0.2%.

Bloody hypocrite. The truth is that 98% of Imo state girls are prostitutes. I knew this right from time. Most imo state girls are also very loose and cheap. Okorocha for the first time said the truth. It is very unfortunate that Imo state's economic main-stay is commercial se.x hawking and brothels.

Owerri in particular is a relaxation city where people from far and wide travel into to relax for weekends and holidays; Owerri bu ebe ngwori! And that explains why with the large number of hotels in the city, you could find yourself visiting 10 different massive hotels and wouldnt see a single available room to rest your head for the night.

Now all over the world, the large influx of travelers, pleasure seekers, tourists etc should be viewed as a positive economic development. I don't quite get what this report is all about.

"Okorocha raised the alarm yesterday, while addressing journalists in his Spibat Road palatial residence, Owerri. “Hotels are increasing in Owerri, at a very fast rate. In the same way, HIV is increasing in Imo, courtesy of the increasing number of hotels in the state”, Okorocha said.

While saying that “there is no hotel in Owerri that is not filled to the brim, especially at weekends”, the governor however urged parents and guardians to caution their children and wards on the dangers of the scourge. Chief Rochas Okorocha “Night life has no doubt, improved in Owerri. We will continue to light the streets. We should however remember that the situation carries with it, a collateral danger like HIV and this is why we should be very careful”

Sadly, the government sees this fund as one of the largess from the international agency that could be used for other developments instead of the HIV/AIDS prevention, regrettably the state will lose this fund due to its glutton and insistence to divert the fund.
Already, Imo State leads other states in the South East in the prevalence rate of the virus and this means nothing to the State government.
More worrisome is the lifestyle of young men and young women in Imo State. Men trade sex, just like every young girl in the state is actively involved in commercial sex
.

A study conducted to determine the incidence cases of HIV/AIDS infection in Owerri West L.G.A. Of Imo State, Nigeria, between April 2007 and September, 2009 showed that a total number of 17964 patients made up of 1110 (16.3%) females and 6954 (38.7%) males were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS infection; statistical analysis shows that 1462 (8.1%) patients were infected with HIV/AIDS. From this number, 1218 (83.3%) patients aged 25 years and above were most infected with HIV/AIDS while 244 (16.7%) patients aged below 24 years were also infected.
The State witnessed the highest HIV and AIDS prevalence in 1999 which was 7.8%, in 2001 it dropped to 4.3%, 2003 to 3.1% it rose to 3.9% in 2005, 4.6% in 2008 and 7.5 % in 2014. The State epidemic is a mixed epidemic and factors that aid escalation of HIV and AIDS in the State include high commercial sex rate, low perception of risk of contracting the disease, high use of alcohol, use of psychoactive agents, high mobility of the people, early sexual exposure, multiple sexual partners, gender issues, non-marital sexual relationship and high transactional sex (ERPS, 2008).
With the foregoing, the state will experience a trajectory wave of the HIV/AIDS explosion of probably more than what is being witnessed in the high prevalence states

Is Abia, with 3.3%, part of the SE?
If yes, is 3.3% lower than Imo's 2.5%

I am relying on your data
