I wonder why this thread isn't getting enough traffic. It seems Africans don't want to know why they are still slaves in 2021. The first to discriminate among themselves and still do so in 2021. |

Sorry guys im back after Nairaland ban ,as usual Albinism consists of a group of inherited abnormalities of melanin synthesis. Melanin is a pigment in the skin, eyes and hair that protects us by absorbing ultraviolet rays from the sun to prevent skin damage. With exposure to the sun, the skin tans because melanin pigments increase in our skin. In albinism, however, there is an inborn (or congenital) reduction or absence of melanin in the skin. In addition to the skin, melanin is important to other areas of the body, such as the eyes and brain. It is a lifelong condition and it occurs in other animals. What causes albinism? Albinism results from defective production of melanin from its constituent building block units. An error in a complex pathway leads to the low production of melanin or in some cases, no production at all. Albinism is hereditary and the most common forms are autosomal recessive, which means that the genes responsible for its occurrence need to be present in both parents (carriers) who are typically not albinos themselves. What are the types of albinism? There are different ways of classifying the different subtypes of albinism, some of which are based on one’s genetic code or DNA and the error leading to the reduction or absence of melanin. Broadly, albinism can: Affect the eyes only, called Ocular albinism (OA). The skin and hair may be minimally lighter than the other members of the family but it is restricted to the eyes which are often bluish in colouration. Affect the eyes and skin, called Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA). Albinism may also affect the skin and other organ systems; including the brain and the nerves of the spinal cord. Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is the most common form of albinism. Who is affected? Albinism affects around 1 in 20000 people across the globe with some areas having as many as 1 in 2000 people with albinism. It occurs in all races, occurs equally in men and women, and is present all over the world. It is typically discovered at infancy. that many Nigerians with albinism live in poverty and cannot afford education and basic healthcare. A relatively few cases of attacks against persons with albinism have been reported. “A study conducted in 2018 found 50 percent of persons with albinism interviewed process mental health issues. Another discovery concluded that in South-West Nigeria, negative myths greatly affect how persons with albinism are treated in sexual relationships. Individuals with albinism are also treated as outcasts, and in the field of employment “Many who have managed to secure jobs work in special interest organizations. It is discovered that when a person with albinism own a corporation, the government may intervene by employing another individual without albinism in order to avoid poor business outcomes resulting from discrimination Humans with Albinism often face some difficulties being ridiculed and discriminated. In some African regions, albino women might even be associated with witchcraft.

People with albinism are wonderful people, I am one and I don't face discrimination, I am well loved everywhere I go and I make friends easily. It is true that Nigerians discriminate a lot .... We must love and respect each other despite the differences. I like people judging me based on what I can offer not because of my skin colour. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Cokahot: What a disgrace lol. Are u richer than Elumelu or otedola or Adenuga I don’t understand? when you meet these billionaires in person there is no atom of arrogance. Yet some people with 5-10 ill gotten million will spit on you. From how this one spoke u will know he’s from a very very impoverished lineage and God just butter him bread. How will u brag about having 30 boxers. I can’t count mine and I’m not even a millionaire (like you) hahaha. |
