Thiza: In Nigeria, an estimated 3.6 percent of the population are living with HIV and AIDS.1 Although HIV prevalence is much lower in Nigeria than in other African countries such as South Africa and Zambia, the size of Nigeria’s population (around 149 million) means that by the end of 2009, there were 3.3 million people living with HIV.2

Approximately 220,000 people died from AIDS in Nigeria in 2009.3 With AIDS claiming so many lives, Nigeria’s life expectancy has declined significantly. In 1991 the average life expectancy was 54 years for women and 53 years for men.4 In 2009 these figures had fallen to 48 for women and 46 for men

I WONDER HOW MANY ARE NOW INFECTED

SaFFer91: I'm a South African and I'll admit our Aids rate is ridiculous as well as our crime rates but from what I have gathered from this forum Nigerians are just as xenophobic as South Africans so stop calling us xenophobic delinquents. Also South Africa is much stronger than Nigeria in terms of military strength check www.globalfirepower.com as evidence. Economically Nigerian will overtake South Africa soon however SA has about $3 trillion worth of natural resources that can still be extracted what does Nigeria have? If you want to talk about strength in terms of Allies we are part of BRICS and remember we have very close diplomatic ties with China and Russia.

edupedia:
...of course u are xsnophobic deliquents cos u are the only people who hate other africans and kill them...

edupedia: ...u lack basic african respect for anyone...its high time u learn...

Thiza: Besides oil what does Nigeria have in terms of natural mineral resources...mining is very limited in terms of scope and investment returns. In the next 25 years..oil would be replaced by new hydrogen technology. Hydrogen economy is driven by platinum and South Africa possess 80% of the world's known reserves followed by Zimbabwe and Russia. In terms of commercial agricultural investments no African country matches South Africa. Nigeria to develop has asked white Zimbabweans and South African farmers for help.....ridiculous coming from self centred and highly self praising, good for nothing nation

RSA:

Boko Haram,MEND,Christians and Muslim killings in Nigeria,who is being killed there? Europeans or Africans? Boooom! another bomb as I'm typing this..more Africans are losing their lives at this minute..



When you say we lack basic African respect? Do you mean Religious and ethnic killings,lawlessness,fraud and corruption?

andrewza: Why do Nigerians hate SA so much and are all ways on about AIDS. AIDS is a global problem and is under control. The number of infections are decreasing and due to treatment you can have a full life even if infected.

RSA: You do get my point.

Thiza: Really it shows that Nigerians only think about their bumbs...how can a normal person take pride that another fellow human being is sick. True that small things aamuses small minds. South Africa leads with AIDS with nearly 5,6 million people infected, followed by India with 4,5 Million cases, Followed by Nigeria with 3,8 Million cases and lastly by Ethiopia with 3,7 million people.

Atleast majority South Africans are aware regarding their status, with Ethiopia and Nigeria, the number is higher than the reported cases and most African governments hide the true statestic. I wonder for a government that does not even know its population, does not know how many police personnel, how many children goes to school and roads and land under its own administration.....can know how many cases of AIDS!!!

RSA: My point exactly,records are not properly kept in Nigeria,in South Africa right now I can give you the number of babies that are born at this moment.We keep records in South Africa,crime,deaths,birth,deseases,everything and that is where this lazy journalist go to get their stories.And when you don't have records then they don't report but it does not mean there is nothing to report.

...big lie...only whites keep accurate records of their own stock and they complain that the ANC GOVT IS ENCOURAGING FRAUDULENT RECORDS...as far as they are concerned u blacks are turning south africa into anotherof its neighbours...all what they say are available on the net...stop all this your boju-boju statements here...if the white south africans read them they'll rock with laughter...

Thiza: Little things amuses little minds.....time would tell. Atleast with our AIDS and inferior educational system are not a nuisance the world over. Inferior AIDS Baboons do not traverse the universe purporting to be the best. Anyway inferiority complex speaks for itself.

Too many fools here,who think with their village brains.

If we look at the numbers Nigeria is the second country behind South Africa with the highest HIV prevalence.

http://www.avert.org/africa-hiv-aids-statistics.htm

Take the fact that in South Africa almost each and every person have tested for HIV and the records are close to 100% correct. The Nigerian number is an estimate based on the cases that are reported,there are millions in Nigeria who don't know their status or who knows it but could not divulge that information to anyone because of their religions or don't want to bring disgrace to their families.

So who know that majority of visitors to South Africa including that Senator where here for HIV/AIDS medical,since South Africa is almost the expert on the disease? If you don't belief me look at the life expectancy between our two countries.Even with AIDS South Africans live longer than Nigerians.

andrewza:
