[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122760#msg8122760 date=1302755380]Educating or begging to be educated. Check through the crap you've written and shame yourself again by re-posting what you assumed about the signs of HIV. I'm currently writing a 15 page research paper, dont have the time to go back and deal with the B.S you posted. But I will deal with the B.S you WILL post.[/quote]^Having been shown to be appallingly ignorant about HIV/AIDS, she attempts to prove she is not intellectually challenged and burnish her credentials by waving her supposed "15 page research paper" before us. Yeah right. Research paper indeed. ![]() And yet you couldn't even read the WebMD web page you posted links to where the very first sentence (for crying out loud the first sentence!) goes thus: Many people do not develop symptoms after getting infected with HIV.You have the dubious distinction of being the first woman I will call a scoundrel. |
^ Abeg, make I hear word. You take yourself entirely too seriously. I am not arguing with you. I am educating you. . .because of both of your appalling ignorance. Your sister Kobo made this statement: [quote author=from: Kobojunkie on Today at 04:01:10 AM]The news is not true . . . . I have been to AkwaIbom and the people there seem healthy and sound.[/quote]And to defend her, you said you could diagnose HIV by looking at someone's face: [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122642#msg8122642 date=1302752474]Of course, someone who is not intent on searching for facial HIV symptoms would not track it right away.[/quote]I at no time attempted to pass of HIV as completely asymptomatic, you lying woman. What I said was: aletheia:Please indicate the post where I: [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122714#msg8122714 date=1302754376]. . .argued that there was no sign of HIV. . .[/quote]Or be shown to be a lying wonder. |
Kobojunkie:^Both you and Ileke-Idi are just pasting links. Why don't read them? The very first sentence from your WebMd link is: [size=18pt]Many people do not develop symptoms after getting infected with HIV. [/size]Both of you are being plain silly. fstranger3:^Some people may believe what they are saying. So we need to counter their misconceptions because of those ones even if these two are irredeemable. |
[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122642#msg8122642 date=1302752474]Jumbling words together is not a significant prove that you're correct. Congrats, the main reason why I suggest you not mistake the signs of HIV for other abnormal symptoms.[/quote]^ Your pathological need to have the last word causes you to continue wallowing in ignorance. Advice: when in a hole stop digging. There are no signs specific to HIV. What we see are signs of immunosuppresion; which we can see in any immunosuppressive disorder, even diabetes if left untreated. There are some direct cytopathic effects of HIV, but this will not ordinarily manifest in the asymptomatic stage. What tips off the clinician as to the possibility of HIV infection is a constellation of signs and symptoms. [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122642#msg8122642 date=1302752474]You work with HIV/AIDs patient, then your failed attempt to pass HIV infection as totally asymptomatic is very disappointing.[/quote]^Again, you are really being foolish. I know more about HIV/AIDS and its accompanying opportunistic infections than you will ever know. HIV is asymptomatic during the latent phase of infection. Most people who contract the infection do so from HIV-infected individuals in the latent phase. [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122642#msg8122642 date=1302752474]A month or two of the viral infection, those symptoms (I mentioned above) starts to show. Of course, someone who is not intent on searching for facial HIV symptoms would not track it right away.[/quote]^Don't worry, I know what your problem is. Cognitive dissonance. You display the same characteristics as people I have counseled who are in denial because they practice unsafe sex. Keep diagnosing HIV-infection by "searching for facial HIV symptoms". From Wikipedia: Infection with HIV-1 is associated with a progressive decrease of the CD4+ T cell count and an increase in viral load, the level of HIV in the blood. The stage of infection can be determined by measuring the patient's CD4+ T cell count and viral load.^In Nigeria, the few symptoms that may manifest in the latent phase are often episodic fevers which would be diagnosed as Malaria or Typhoid fever; giving no indication whatsoever of the underlying cause unless the individual does an HIV test. and who in Nigeria has not had an occasion episode of malaria? [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122642#msg8122642 date=1302752474]The signs of AIDs is more expressive and lethal than HIV, but similar in more ways.[/quote]^You forgot to add that AIDS is caused by HIV and is the terminal manifestation of HIV-infection. |
fxtopedia:^You are being foolish. Did you read my post? Did I there say or imply that almijari would start from the universities. I said: aletheia:^How on earth did you misconstrue the part highlighted above as: fxtopedia:What do understand by the phrase "goes hand in hand"? It is no wonder that Buhari appeals to the lowest common denominator. Oh: And I dare you to challenge me on the meaning of lowest common denominator. |
^Don't be silly. I guess you probably just googled some facts about HIV. FYI: I work with HIV patients as a doctor in an ambulatory care center in Nigeria. So don't think you can play those games with me. Go find out the natural history of HIV infection. [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122581#msg8122581 date=1302750772]Ironic. Actually HIV does show. It does not show for the first few months, even years of conceiving the viral fluids (blood, sperm, etc).[/quote]^I guess Ileke-Idi can tell during those months - years when the patient is asymptomatic and healthy-looking that the person has HIV by just looking at the face. Like I told your sister Kobo: AIDS is just the later manifestation of HIV infection. Most of you think only of AIDS when you hear HIV. [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122581#msg8122581 date=1302750772]# Enlarged or swollen lymph nodes[/quote]Apart from a clinical exam; how would you detect the enlarged lymph nodes of HIV infection. . .unless the individual presents with visibly enlarged cervical lymph nodes due to tuberculous adenitis or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (A degree of enlargement that HIV does not cause). [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122581#msg8122581 date=1302750772]# Headache # Muscle pain # Nausea and vomiting[/quote]^ You 've no doubt suffered these from time to time. Am I to safely conclude that Ileke-idi has HIV infection? [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122581#msg8122581 date=1302750772]# Neurologic symptoms[/quote]^ I doubt you know what this means. Just parroting words. [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122581#msg8122581 date=1302750772]# Rash on the abdomen, arms and legs and face #Thrush, a common fungal infection of the mouth caused by Candida, a yeast-like fungus # Herpes infections that cause severe mouth, focal place or anal sores # Persistent skin rashes or flaky skin[/quote]^ These imply immunosuppression. Again: educate yourself on the natural history of HIV infection; so that you know at what stage of the disease these begin to appear. [quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=646183.msg8122581#msg8122581 date=1302750772]Don't confuse HIV signs for other abnormalities. I'm suspecting that you've already been infected, esp since you're thinking HIV has to slap you in the face before you notice.[/quote]^ Just betraying your ignorance. HIV actually masquerades like other illnesses. In historic times, it used to be syphilis (another STI) but in our time; it is now HIV infection. HIV infection affects all organ systems and so it is no surprise that it's presentation runs the gamut of all organ systems. Some of my patients first intimation of their infection was by the fact that they came down with a stroke. |
[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=646183.msg8122566#msg8122566 date=1302750166]It makes me very sad. Makes me even sadder that they aren't making any headway.[/quote]^ It's sad. But some headway is being made. There is more awareness of the infection now. The messages are going out and recent. . .sentinel surveys seem to indicate a drop in prevalence. Also less people are dying of HIV/AIDS thanks to increased availability of the antiretroviral drugs; like in the clinic where I work; all our patients are on free antiretrovirals. Fortunately, the epidemic in West Africa has not witnessed the explosive rates seen in East and Southern African. Edited to add this: Year HIV Prevalence (%) 1991 1.8 1993 3.8 1995 4.5 1999 5.4 2001 5.8 2003 5.0 2005 4.4 2008 4.6 2010 4.1 Source: National HIV Sero-prevalence Sentinel Survey (HSS) by National AIDS/STI Control Programme, FMoH(2010) |
Kobojunkie:^ For someone who claims to be in the US; you show appalling ignorance of the natural history of HIV infection. Please note that AIDS is just the later manifestation of HIV. So let me educate you like we educate our HIV-infected patients in Nigeria: [size=14pt]"HIV no dey show for face"[/size] |
what do u make of his empty silly promises of 36airports and new universities when the ones on ground are not maintained?^ On universities: it would help if we took a holistic look at the situation instead of just going with our emotions. The truth is that Nigeria needs more universities. Our population of 150 million (about half that of the United States) does not have enough universities. This is self-evident when we realize that approximately 1 million people write JAMB every year; and our universities can only cater for less than half that number. What are we to do? The existing universities can only cater for a limited number, so more are needed. It is not enough to improve on the existing ones. For example in metropolitan Chicago alone; there are more than 32 universities. By the time you add the 2-year and 4-year colleges and graduate schools it's more than the number of universities in Nigeria. How many universities in Nigeria? Less than 40, if I am not mistaken and a single city in the USA has more tertiary institutions than the whole of Nigeria has universities! The president's promise to build more universities is in order and I believe is the hallmark of one who has been to university and understands the value of education. This also goes hand in hand with his plan to reform the almajiri system to provide education. One of the things that soured me on Buhari was he had no concrete plans for the almajiri. |
^^Something has seriously gone wrong in the Southern African countries. . .scary. It is sad to state that there are states and cities in Nigeria with even higher prevalence of HIV infection than Akwa-Ibom (though thankfully not at the level of Southern Africa); Port-Harcourt, Abuja, Benue State, though Akwa-Ibom still ranks up there. The national prevalence is just below 5% (can't remember the exact figures now). |
Donlittle:^ I have warned you to shut up. But you insist. ![]() This is the link to Georgia Perimeter College. Everyone can investigate and see that you are a fraud. There is no such program at GPC. The only one there that remotely resembles your claims is [url=http://www.gpc.edu/~gpcgway/]this program[/url] for those who did not complete high school and want to get a high school diploma. . .something you obviously didn't get since you left in the 10th grade (according to you). Wikipedia: In the United States, a junior college is a two-year post-secondary school whose main purpose is to provide academic, vocational and professional education. The highest certificate offered by such schools is usually an associate's degreeI repeat: if truly you were top of your class; you would have finished high school and gone on to a proper university. In fact, I very much doubt if you are even in GPC because your story doesn't add up. You probably one of those yahoo-yahoo boys. |
Donlittle:^ Let's add English comprehension to the list of your failed subjects. Did I say your father was in the US? Another pointer to your lies. What father lets his son at 15 yrs go to college in another country far off? I was right. Your SAT scores were poor, but with daddy's money you got into a 2-year college in the US, so that your family can boast that their son is in the US studying. If you were good enough, you would have made the cut for a 4-year college. Take my advice. Don't talk anymore because, with each utterance, you expose yourself more. |
Donlittle:Your lies grow more silly. If you were "top" of your class; you would have gone to a better University like the boy in this story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/7533784/Child-prodigy-13-threatens-to-sue-his-university-for-banning-him-from-field-trip-to-South-Africa.html You are no child prodigy. Stop deceiving your self. |
Donlittle:^ Who mentioned China? I asked you whether the fact that the Japanese Yen exchanges at 83 to the dollar implies that there's hyperinflation in Japan. Is Japan = China now. 1) You have failed Basic Economics 2) You have now added Elementary Geography No wonder you went to a 2-year college. I pretty sure it was your father's money that shoehorned you into the school or else they would have rejected you! aletheia: |
Donlittle:^ Still insisting on being silly, are you? You talked about inflation and tried to tell me that Nigeria's current exchange rate implied hyperinflation. I have directed you to Wikipedia to research on inflation and balance of trade, but you insist in persisting in your folly. Did once mention PDP in any of my posts directed at you. Oh and BTW that you attended a 2-year college is not a measure of scholastic achievement. It actually shows that your deficient and couldn't make the cut. Do you think you can bamboozle us. We know that 2-year colleges are among the lowest tier in the American tertiary education system ranking below 4-year Universities. If you were good enough; you would have made the cut and gone to a University. Obviously your SAT scores were pitiful. Your boast is like someone in Nigeria telling me he went to a College of Education at the age of 16 years when his mates are passing Jamb and going to OAU or UI. So I was right when I pinned you down as an AbdulMuttalab type. Rich father + poor brains = no sense. |
Donlittle:^ MY friend; you already looked like a fool from the moment you opened your mouth and left us in no doubt about that. I was merely performing a public service and contributing to the greater good in trying to cure you of your ignorance. Now a word of advice: Wikipedia is your friend: get an education before trying to mouth off on concepts that you know next to zero about. |
Donlittle:^ Obviously; your ignorance has been exposed. Because if you knew what you were talking about you would have answered my questions. Good riddance. ![]() |
Donlittle:^^So according to the little child that calls himself Donlittle; exchange rate implies inflation? That means that the Japanese must be suffering hyperinflation then because the Japanese yen exchanges at about 83 to the dollar? Have you heard the term "Balance of Trade" before? Again I will ask you: on the basis of what do you project hyperinflation in Nigeria? Think carefully before you answer this question. |
deezzle:^Illusions die hard. Cognitive dissonance in play here. From the same article we read these words: Bakare said, “Let me tell you the truth by the spirit of God, neither (President Olusegun Obasanjo), OBJ, Atiku (Abubakar), IBB and this tall one, (Muhammadu) Buhari are part of the new. They are part of the old that is decaying. That old one is passing away. The new is emerging and these ones are not part of that new.”^If this is not a prophecy as Christians understand it, then what is? But the question is: was it it a true prophecy or a false prophecy. N.B. Tunde Bakare himself has never denied that it wasn't a prophecy and shortly after being tapped as Buhari's running mate, he insisted that God did not ask him to go into politics. |
Donlittle:^^I can see you are just a child on an ego trip. You really have nothing to say. Why don't you strap a bomb to your diapers and blow yourself up. It is obvious you are an Abdul-Muttalab type. Donlittle:Again I ask you; on what basis do you project that hyperinflation is coming to Nigeria? Apparently you don't know the difference between inflation and hyperinflation (the Zimbabwean kind). Even the USA has inflation. So it is just now that according to you: i am beginning to sense inflation started since 1999Really? Clearly you have nothing of importance to say, just piffle. Donlittle:What are these string of words? Clearly a vain attempt to sound intelligent. An idi*ot repeating words by rote. Clearly then your words are nothing. . . a tale told by an idi*ot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.I shall no more indulge your attention seeking behavior. |
Revealing a chilling prophetic vision, Bakare said: “Neither Buhari nor IBB nor Obasanjo nor Atiku will be part of the new Nigeria. They are part of the old that has decayed and is still decaying. The new is coming forth. It is the counsel of the Lord that shall stand in this nation. Until the sons of turmoil destroy themselves, this nation will not know peace.” |
Donlittle:^^What an irritating and silly child you are. So hyperinflation is coming to Nigeria? On the basis of what do you project this fantasy. I can bet my last naira that you do not have any foreign passport. You are just a pretentious twerp. |
Lagosboy:^^Never, you say? Does history agree with you? Let's see: In 2003: Muhammadu Buhari ANPP 116,510 (07.1%) Olusegun OBASANJO * PDP 1,129,521 (69.3%) Odumegwu Ojukwu APGA 134,764 08.3 , And you know because of the high awareness in Lagos, it is very difficult to rig and the results are the actual results. It seems you don't know Lagos as well as your moniker suggests. ![]() |
^^^The truth. Not conspiracy theory. Try and visit Jos one of these days. |
^^ Go to the streets and campaign. Spamming multiple threads is not going to help your cause. |
^^And Lagos and Ondo states as well. |
13volts:^Is that so? May you be counted as one of the body bags since you are wishing evil for the people of Plateau state. |
^^ @Jarus: This are the votes cast in the Senate elections of Kaduna South and Kaduna Central: Do the maths: Kaduna South PDP 428,992 ACN 70,128 CPC 73,830 Kaduna Central PDP 37,607 CPC 103,904 |
9ijaMan:^^Just rumours. You think ACN will step down for CPC. Not going to happen. Keep dreaming. |
See people who don't live in Jos crying louder than the bereaved. Why don't any of you take a fact-finding visit to Plateau state. The people of Plateau state know who their real enemies are. |
^^Oya, lynch somebody. ![]() |
luluosas:^^Sorry. This doesn't sound to me like panic. Go into the field and campaign for your candidate. |
