This one don kolo oooo, so the one wey kill people for Ogun state na " lesser favour" abi?

The dead person is from Eboyin State not Yoruba

Certain ethnic groups exhibit natural immunity tendencies to specific pathogens/diseases.
Probably just due to specific genetic factors unique to them.

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 .

haba...with d rate u are going, u will soon drop dead.

Y dem go infect dem brodas

If there's any hot chick out there who needs some Yoruba blood inside them...satisfaction guaranteed, no more Lassa fever fear...The Federal Ministry of Health warns that side effect of Yoruba boy treatment for lassa fever may be pregnancy..

Talking about dirtiest, you should tell that to your women selling fufu



And about cowardice, your father called a runaway bastard like ojukwu a hero/zero and you his bastard never do well son called a bigger coward nnamdi kanu omo ale your hero

Dollyak:
This surely won't go down well on this forum. One of the most ridiculous things I have heard this year

it may not go down well with you because you're sad

mayor2984:
That's a nice development. Proudly Yoruba.

hahahhaha. Make I send truck load of infected rats to u. Let the owambe begin.

bebe2:
Okk na,

Pls throw a trailer load of rats in each of the yoruba state's,

And let the Owambe begin

lol. no rat fashioned against ondo shal prosper, im pure yoruba and i love it! . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .check my signature

Nigerians will believe anytin..

SMH for peeps rushing to sip garri because some random Prof said Yorubas are immune to Lassa Fever.

Its not yet been proven oh... Abeg.

Hmmm! No wonder the yoruba woman(Iya) by our street is always drinking garri despite the warnings of lassa fever, I confronted her to educate her she told me she is immune to the disease.

Any body the believes this Prof puts his life at risk .

This is a blessing for yoruba people.

so you follow believe that yeye professor?

diana158:
so yorubas are free to eat rats abi?

No. The point is that Yorubas are free to drink garri.

Yorubas have more or less 80% genetic makeup as the rest of the other Nigerian ethnic groups hence we all should at least be immune. Right?

naija8080:
Professor Christian with his sophisticated science shown the door...before he sophisticates us into an epidemic.

Very laughable! First we heard that there was this yam that grows in Yorubaland that when eaten induces the birth of twins and now this!

Chineke mere ndia ebere!!

kaeforum:
Swest naija has been the rat capital of the world, its ancestors inter bred with rats, so they are naturally resistant to rats as well as filth.

The same Haplotype responsible for the protection of The Yoruba against the Lassa Fever Virus, were also found among the Esan and other Populations of Edo state, but at lower frequencies.

Then, why is the fever more common in parts of Esanland than most places in Nigeria?

looseweight:
Simply put that the specie of rat carrying the causative agent of lassa fever are rare in the southwest.

I believe so.

Err, if it's based on haplotype - then Fulanis should also be immune to the virus. Yorubas and Fulanis have a lot in common based on haplotype.

Anyway, it's very plausible. Most Nigerians don't even know that the genetic make-up of all the groups in the country aren't the same and the occurrence of certain haplotype in the different groups varies. Yorubas for example have more in common genetically with the Bamilekes of Cameroon, Tutsis of Rwanda, Mandinka all over West Africa, Fante/Ga/Ewe folks of Ghana etc. than 99% of all the other ethnic groups in Nigeria. While Igbos for example genetically have more in common with a lot of groups in East/Central Africa than Nigeria. Ditto Hausas and the Sahel region of Africa. Etc. Just cos folks have the same phenotype, that doesn't mean that they're genetically the same, though they're all from a larger tree that branched out into different things.

There are certain people, especially in East Africa, that are naturally immune to HIV.

Regardless, since it's a Nigerian professor (not dissing the guy) who discovered this - I don't think I'll take it seriously. But there's nothing bad in doing further research on the hypothesis.

Quack scientist. How about the Yoruba people who died from the disease? How did this m0ron become a professor?

Other research do exist on the subject matter.
Just search online.

Yoruba! stop marrying iPod and abokis. Don't contaminate your genes.

Lmao! Please it is poverty and illiiteracy that is affecting that mama.

There hasnt even been much awareness on this lassa fever like there was for ebola. There were ebola signboards everywhere, for pple who didnt have access to tv and media.

I think the former minister of health did a fantastic job while this current minister of health is just clueless.

Oyibos actually found that twin thing out during the colonial period. I wonder if its still true cos ive never bn to the village but u can google it. I think its igbo ora or sthn.
