Lagos state needs to have its acts right. The state should not be very proative about raising down buildings in the name of developments and urban renewal and relegate health conditions of the residents.


At Allen Junction, just at the bus stop imagine. There is a being with FULL BORNE LEPROSY there seated in the full glare of everyone in the area. Leprosy is an air borne disease. Imagine having such a human being in the open every day, imagine the millions of microbes that this man is broadcasting.


Please lets do something about calling the authorities to the situation by pushing this thread to the Front Page.


Please

Okay, OP.

But make your expressions clearer. Not everyone can read in-between the lines. For instance, you mind substituting "being" with "person?

Have you tried to tag the Lagos State ministry of health on X?

The tone of your post though. A being? No kind word for the unfortunate person with the disease. The risk alert raised is not bad though

lagos state wont act except it is a protest

Leprozy is curable, It's not a risk. Not airborne.

Leave the poor beggers abeg.

Don't complicate thier matter.

Rather call forthe Government to run a campaign to treat them.

Never knew its airborne ooo,

I believe Tokunbo Wahab will do something about this, the commissioner has been doing a whole lot of tremendous work ridding the state of environmental hazards

Always looking for an avenue to insult Lagos state government. What has bringing down an illegal building have to do with a leprosy?

If you are really serious about your report, you would have just call Lagos State emergency number via their toll free numbers.

112 or 767

I don't know why the op chose to express himself, rather than communicate with the people.
A man/woman/person with leprosy is seated in the open at Allen junction would have communicated more that his excessive use of vocabs

Nothing like leprosy, allow us to enjoy Lasgidi in peace jare.

God bless Lagosians
God bless Nigerians
God bless the true developers of our great country (Igbos)

What a condescending way to refer to a person. If you are really a doctor, you definitely know the right channels to pass through for prompt action. Get a grip!

I once saw someone like that too in Ikeja moving amidst vehicles asking for money. The sight was scary, very big swellings from head to toe. Could be the same man

Babalegba:

We understand your concern, but stop misleading people.

Leprosy cannot spread through the air in a casual way; it is only considered to spread through prolonged, close contact with an infected person, typically through respiratory droplets released when someone with untreated leprosy coughs or sneezes, meaning you cannot catch leprosy by simply being near someone with the disease; casual contact like shaking hands or sharing utensils is not a risk factor.

Key points about leprosy transmission:

Not highly contagious:
Leprosy is considered a mildly infectious disease, meaning it does not spread easily.

Close contact required:
Transmission usually occurs through prolonged close contact with an untreated leprosy patient, like living in the same household.

Respiratory droplets:
The bacteria responsible for leprosy are transmitted through tiny droplets released from the nose and mouth of an infected person when they cough or sneeze.

No casual transmission:
You cannot get leprosy through casual contact like shaking hands, hugging, or sitting near someone with the disease.

Lastly, are you a real doctor? You lack the IQ, emotional intelligence and compassion to be one.

This one wey you use type this thing here ehn, you could have called or tagged the relevant authorities... You reek of hatred.... Calling a person a 'being' in such context is denigrating... Also, associating demolition of houses to this particular situation is totally out of it....


. Lastly, Leprosy isn't really an Airborne disease in that it is not easy contagious... You can even shake someone with Leprosy without any issue...

Yes,the sight can be an eyesore, but it's not as contagious as the way you're putting it.

It can only be transmitted by close, repeated and prolonged body contact.
