Interesting

I think this is more dangerous.
How many of our locals understand the TRUE meaning of immune system?

Some wicked people will definitely hide under these rebranded names to create havoc.

so what should we call this ,prostitutes no be ashawo again na gbele pawo

wow, really

`

Booked..

olosho na olosho, period! what the heck?

Lol independent women for commercial babes.

Orisirisi!

Awkward names! The names sounds bad than HIV/AIDS sef.

Rebranding won't change the obvious ;DRebranding won't change the obvious

The last time I checked, Ashewo no get 2name
You stand for road =
You stay for lodge =
I only date rich guys =
If you won't give me money no kpekus =
Feel free to add your own instance

I hope it works.

We should be making more effort to translate these foreign words in our language so that it won't seem like our languages have limitations. The English guys don't waste time in anglicizing words.

Gbele pawo

nonsense

http://www.socialtimesng.net/2017/04/new-names-emerge-for-hivaids-prostitutes/

It took them 2 years of research to come up with these names?

it's amazing the researches people sponsor these days..Waste of resources

they use HIV to enrich their pockets.

In Edo language Aids is called "Ugiagbe" meaning "Hard to kill" or something related.

Jobless linguists

So that's what you people undertook for good two solid years and millions I guess was spent in sponsoring it.Smh for Nigeria

I concur with the rebranding for HIV/AIDS...
But what's with the branding for 'PROSTITUTES'?
It seems they are legalizing prostitution and making it sound morally just!

Inukwa 'NDINKWUGHARI'.. ,smh.

Nice move, but they have been doing less for a very long time. What about other diseases before AIDS/HIV

I don't care what names they were given, just pls help me find Nnamadi Zambo.

“It is the researchers’ belief that behavioural change is only possible when the people are familiar with the appropriate terminology for HIV and AIDS in their own languages.”

Africans look!!.

The above statement is what would happen when we actually begin using our native languages to acquire knowledge in school. Actually, more would happen. When that begin happening in the school, we would become really a new people, true Africans able to build our own cars, build our own fast trains, build ships, go to moon, e.t.c. We would be able to research chemistry, physics, biology on our own terms, disprove or even enhance some of the things white people say, create terminologies to express ourselves as it suits us, just like the Japanese, Russians, Chinese, Koreans, e.t.c. The impact would create a new nation of people able to think for themselves without foreign influence.

It's very unfortunate the team won't escalate such endeavor to the schools.

No matter how they change the vocab it wont work
As they are using gbele pawp for olosho and other words, those words will gradually also serve the very purpose they were invented to combat, they will become insultive words and stigma will be added to them, its inevitable

So all these girls na gbele pawo
See gbele pawo like u

Naija and mediocrity. .. See the kind research dem ey publish. . When others are a million miles ahead of us.. May Nigeria Succeed

funny names

We need New Names for Oloshi and Slayqueen

Yes you are correct about the stigmatization but only those who are ignorant of the antiretroviral drugs or just stupid still stigmatize people. With the antiretrovirals, couple with a healthy life style, HIV patients live normal life and die from old age and these patients also live longer than alcoholics.

Ps: To those finding this outrageous, lucky you can understand English and purchase data to knowledge but try explaining "the pathophysiology of HIV" to mama charle the buka seller. These names are made for the uneducated to understand the disease easily.

so the simple and Origina name like
Aids and Hiv go hard Mama Buka to Pronounce or Recorgnise??

As if HIV/AIDS is real... Smmmhhhh.
How many people have actually got HIV sef people dey straff steadily skin-to-skin and nothing dey happen
