Since you are so fixated on the 75% prevalence rate with no wiggle room for a possible chance that this might be true then I can't help you. It is your opinion, albeit disturbing for a PhD holder. Go figure

At this point, I am quite concerned that your attitude to science will rub off on your mentees. One can only hope that they will garner enough experience along the line, outside of your influence, to explore rare possibilities, which makes science fun.

Yes, the 75% is the problem. It is farfetched and should be dismissed outrightly. We are not talking pseudoscience here.

I wonder the kind of 'Doctor' you are, giving such fallacies a second thought.
75% of 200 million people is 150 million Nigerians positive for HIV. Use your brain!

Something tells me you are even the lady 'Doctor' in question. Throwing around numbers for content.

You can see other physicians here on this thread mocking you as possibly one of those low-quality 'Ukraine-trained doctors'.

As for my mentees, they are doing very well under my tutelage. There are no rooms for the manufacture of statistical gobbledegook in any research that I supervise or superintend.

Some of them have ended up with Scholarships in the US and Europe and they thank me for my contributions.

You go figure.

DrAda:
You will be amazed to know that there are published papers out there whose reports may seem very outlandish but they are in fact true.

One of them happens to be a paper that I recently sent to a high impact journal. The reviewer said that it was impossible for me to get such fantastic outcomes in my facility. I replied by inviting him over to see things for himself.

The same paper was accepted for publication this month. Go figure

Madam, 75% HIV prevalence rate is too ridiculous to get a second cursory look.

If a student presented that figure during seminar defense, lab posting defense, or post data, he or she is going back to the lab or field to repeat that study. It is too outlandish and too far fetched.

Even laymen without any medical background would take it with a pinch of salt.

No country has such prevalence rate, not even South Africa that is more heavily burdened by the virus than most parts of Africa.

She lied..

DrAda:
It doesn't matter what I believe. If the data clearly show that the prevalence has skyrocketed to 75%, your job, as a researcher, is to disprove this by pointing out any existing limitations in the report and going into the field to conduct your own study.

Is this blog post a research study. Have you read the journal where it was published? Who conducted the study?

There is nothing to disprove. Do you know what 75% prevalence of HIV is?

I earned a Doctorate in the field of infectious diseases, and our Diagnostic laboratory centers generate real-time laboratory data everyday. In fact, our Medical Scientists publish findings and trends every six months. We have not found such trend. A steep jump from 5% to 75% doesn't just happen overnight. Medical Laboratories and Hospitals would pick it up during clinical testing.

I tell you that there is no research data that says HIV prevalence is 75% anywhere in Nigeria. It is totally unfathomable.

That content creator 'Doctor' is simply feeding on sensationalism to gain attention. She is lying.

Healthcare is beyond switching on ring light and opening your mouth in front of a phone camera.

Emu4life:
Ogun people, make una have mercy on Fulani Most Prized asset na.....
This is not fair o.

Not that you have said what Fulani wants to hear- That you killed their cows with Jazz, be ready for the consequences in Ogun.

Some of Una just carry small brain with big mouth.

Glimpsetv:
A Nigerian female doctor has raised serious concerns over the recent surge in HIV cases in Abuja and Lagos.

Speaking out, she said, “This is an advice from me to you: if you're in any sexual relationship with anyone, please go to the hospital as you are watching this video and request a test for HIV.” She added, “The rate of HIV now in Lagos and in Abuja is overwhelming.”

According to her, she recently attended a symposium organized exclusively for doctors. At the event, an NGO that conducts HIV screenings presented data collected from hospitals across the country. Each hospital submitted their records of HIV-positive patients, and the results were alarming. She recalled that the prevalence rate was around 5% in 2020, but it has now reportedly skyrocketed to over 75%. This suggests, she emphasized, that approximately one in every ten people may now be living with HIV. Statistics, she said, indicate that the highest rates are found in Lagos and Abuja.

In her words, “Sometimes, protection doesn't help. I don't want to go into detail, but the whole essence of this video is that, if you're in a sexual relationship with someone, it doesn't matter if the person is your husband, it doesn't matter if the person is your wife. If your husband could have side chicks, if your wife could have side niggas, your girlfriend could have other boyfriends, your boyfriend could have other girlfriends — you know, I will just advise you to carry two legs and go to the nearest laboratory and test for HIV. It's better to know early, to know if you have it or not. And if you do not have it, be more careful because it is rampant and it's spreading rapidly. I am telling you that it is very bad. That symposium was something where the figures they gave were built on evidence.”

Continuing, she urged, “So please, it doesn't matter if you're married. You don't know what your husband is doing, you don't know what your wife is doing. You only know yourself — you don't know your partner. You can't know them too well like that. And even if you know them, this is something that should be done every six months. Please go to the nearest laboratory, go and test for HIV…”

She encouraged viewers to watch the full video and take her advice seriously. Recounting more of what she learned, she said there had been about a 50% increase in HIV cases from the previous year.

In her closing remarks, she stressed: “Before entering any sexual relationship, please always go for an HIV test. Sometimes, protection may fail in preventing HIV transmission, so we need to be extremely careful.”

The so called 'Doctor' either wants to trend or got her fact mixed up in a bid to rush to social media and gain followers.

It is not statistically possible for the prevalence of HIV to jump from 5% to 75% within 5 years. What it means is that if you are 10 people in your family house living in Lagos, at least 7 of your family members now have HIV. Isn't that absurd?


Gen Z people, stop rushing to propagate your opinion on matters that you really do not have a proper grasp of.

Stop this your urge to rush to social media with your ADHD, take time to read and have the facts before pushing out your videos out there. Use your head.

And Bloggers stop pushing out everything without fact-checking. Everything is not content.

Only the Health ministry or WHO should disseminate this kind of information.

Christistruth00:
Tinubu was at the forefront of fighting for restoration of
democracy and June 12 .
It was Ojukwu who fought against June 12.
Just look at what Ojukwu was demanding

You forgot to also upload the old newspaper where Tinubu said he never believed in 'One nigeria'

Christistruth00:
Your fathers had a weakness of easily believing lies that was why they fought a war they didn't need to with all their strength until we're they were abandoned on the battlefield by their own General.
Verify information for Truth

Mr bulabadeen, did Tinubu deny ever saying he did not believe in Nigeria?

I believe Lamido.

If we didn't see the newspaper publication where Tinubu said he does not believe in One Nigeria, him and his bulabanists would have denied it.

Tinubu did not like MKO. He was part of the Yoruba politicians 'who shared MKOs meat after his death' according to MKO's family.

Fufeyin the guy man wayoman parading as a Shepherd.

Na wolf him be o..

The same hypocrites are using AK-47 instead of bow and arrows..

Who was the Judge that reduces his sentence TWICE and how much was that Judge paid?

These are very pertinent questions that will uncover more rot in the system.

Until some of these corrupt Judges are captured and jailed, the rot in the Judiciary will continue unabated.

Let me tell you something. Any kind of crime that you can imagine. I bet you, it has been commited in Nigeria.

Go figure.

This means that many inmates and criminals have been helped to escape out of the country by prison officers.

Tueh...Disgusting.

Disease carriers.

tinubu is not a yorubamañ tinubu is not a yorubama...this are other cities in yoruba area

Musiwa Ibn Satellite...

If Una check well, Una go see Wike for there too.

His political enemies are always chasing him in his dream, and he knows that if they catch him, e don be.

How did Southern Nigeria end up with the Northerners?

Putindbutt:
Till tomorrow, none of you can show us the proofs of £20 pounds check, all you do is lying, lying & lying more repeatedly.

Read and pass. Must you react?

If someone praises himself, do you interpret it that the person looks down you or insult you?

Do you chase after lizard that falls from the tree and nods its head in self-adulation?

I cannot agree more. The records speaks for itself.

Ebonyi civil service is full of fraudsters. Especially that their tax office.

Awon Ole buruku..

Any tribe that is the most populous tribe outside their region, after the indigenes of those land are easily the most populous tribe.

Look around Nigeria, outside Igboland, the most populated people in other lands after the owners of the land are the Igbos. This has been an undisputable fact since 1901.

Many of us non-Igbos and Yorubas know this, but we will not agree in the open, because it is not politically correct to do so, the way Nigeria is structured.

I told you guys yesterday.

Their phones are the trackers used to target their positions with precision..

Wherever your phone is, you are most likely there.

There is nothing like an untrackable phone. Your phone is a walking tracking device.


The Nigerian security forces should learn from this and capture or neutralise terrorists and bandits. They all use phones and even have TikToK accounts.

amaridigital:
QS Ranking system is recognized worldwide more than Times Higher. QS is the standard.

I disagree. They all have biases, strength and weaknesses.

The home land of Joseph Tarka.

Helinues do you know who Joseph Tarka is?

I want to know when you started following politics in Nigeria.

Almost every edu-statistical organisation have their own indices for measuring the quality of universities.

Sometimes, politics, regional bias and prejudice cannot be ruled out.

*Grabs my pinch of salt*.

Ojumakaka:
Honestly, I’m just tired. The people around me physically whether it’s neighbors, friends, or even family don’t understand anything about the online space at all. I make a living from this digital world, but anytime I try to carry one or two people along, it feels like I just gave birth and now have to nurse a newborn baby.

Most of them don’t get it at all. Even the simple stuff I’ll explain it over and over, and last last, they still won’t understand anything. I don’t even blame them too much. Not everyone will have online intelligence. But still, I keep asking myself why haven’t I met anyone offline who’s tech-savvy or even curious about this space?

Meanwhile, online I meet intelligent, sharp people who understand exactly what I’m doing. We reason together, share ideas, and grow. But offline, I feel like I’m always “Mr Know All.” but this things are just simple things . And most people around me? Just doing TikTok etc, they only know how to send "hello" "hi" gossiping, chatting and wasting time on nonsense.

Trying to help anyone offline feels like signing a lifelong contract with headache.

Sometimes, I just keep quiet because trying to carry people along is pure stress. They don't even know the use of the gadgets in their hands

What do you do online to make money?

I am interested in hearing your story.

Tinubu dey collect wotowoto from Nigerians and e dey sweet me shege.

Master of propaganda don dey hear weehn. I been warn my Yoruba people against toxic propaganda in 2015, dem no hear..

CoronaVirusPro:
The opposition should have a conscience

You can’t be using human life’s to tarnish the administration of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

When people who frequently wear black on black are up against you in politics, expect blood shed. They will kill as much as they can to get to power.

Is not a hidden fact in professional investigations that, the first 5 culprits who falsely accuse you’ know about the crime, and we all know a frequent critique who falls in line with that. Even when the president visited, he still found a fault.

These are desperate humans. Wolfs in sheep’s clothing.

Why the sudden use of human life’s to campaign against His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

This is absurd, evil and diabolical ! How can creations of God be so desperate!

See talkie...To open mouth no hard, but brain dey work? No!

What is the future of humanity with all these wars..

I'd wager that there are unseen interests who are very keen on starting World War III, so they can sell their guns and bombs.

Global peace means bad business for them.

Myanmar has been at civil war for over 4 decades and counting, yet no mainstream media talks about it.

ZUBY77:
His own money from what business?
What does he do for a living except awarding contract to his cronies and taking kickbacks?

We all know he is a kleptomaniac. Wike has never worked a honest job for one day in his life.

He has been eating government money since he left agbero work and joined politics.
