Bros, that girl is my Ikwerre sister from Emohua and not an Igbo lady!

what's her name?
Ngozi right? what does Ngozi means?
Blessing right?
even Ngozi okonjo is also from igbo speaking tribe of Delta.


anywhere you see someone answering igbo names or speaking igbo as their dialect in their home town then that person is an igbo clan.

be it in Akwa Ibom, rivers, Delta, Banue, Kogi.... even in London or US..
that person is an igbo.


if you want to dispute then you have to scientifically prove that the average ikwere are not igbos by carrying out DNA testing which look into their Genetic Structure to trace their root just as the African Americans are doing now.

summit your findings for verification

Cogs:
This is very commendable.

I only hope that this not one of those special centres stunts.

sharap. is there special center in Abuja where she wrote her exam

Hezmatosky:
Baseless!!
Sha no carry una madness near us

what's una madness? is history a madness?
history are things that has happened in past and it predate the Nigeria it self u can't change it rather you can change the future by first
stop answering names that are igboid or or has igbo translation.
secondly you start speaking a different language... either hausa or yoruba or itsoko, ishekiri that doesn't have any thing to do with igbo then from then no one will say u are igbo clan

Hezmatosky:
Bro no go there o, Nzeogu na my uncle. When hm mama die for okpanam, i follow tie akwa ocha, if u know make u dey know. Na we Delta north fight the fight and na we suffer am pass. Such will never happen again. Ibos make una dey una dey

What is the meaning of Akwa ocha?

Akwa meaning cloth and ocha meaning white.... whitecloth worn by those mourning the dead.

Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogu.... what's the meaning of chukwuma? meaning God knows

CSTRR:
I guess they were not born when Rotimi Amaechi said he is Igbo.

here is a link to that https://www.facebook.com/ukasanya1/videos/3232734823502885/

Esama:
Rotimi Ameachi is a ikwerre man still he has Yoruba name.

He has consistently say he is igbo and never denied it

watch his interview with BBC igbo
https://www.facebook.com/ukasanya1/videos/3232734823502885/

and also this https://fb.watch/mm-a4ljZ1o/

also understand that you don't just pick name anywhere.
like kaduna Nzeogu chose that name because he was born in kaduna.
also most igbo living in Lagos almost all born in Lagos has a Yoruba name.

But your surname as answered by your Forefathers is a signature of who u are

Sirnioking:
Forget it. An average Igbo person will flee with that money. The girl is simply Ikwerre a distinct tribe in Nigeria and never Igbo.

well am not talking about who will flee with the money or who returns the money

anywhere you see Ngozi... knows that that person is igbo

PortHarcourtcit:
God forbid Ikwerre land being Igbo...

I didn't say it belong to igbo did I?

Does Benin Republic belongs to the man in Oyo, or Osun State?
same way i can't come from imo state to claim Anambra. I can only claim my community.. anywhere else I find my self I will be taxed accordingly when I want to raise a structure.

But understand that the igbo nation span across the South East. you identify them by their native name... chukwu... which means God.
Amaechi... which means who knows tomorrow
Ngozi. or Ngozichukwu.. blessing or blessing from God.
ugo.... meaning pride.
ugochukwu... mean pride from God

chinyere.... God's gift. etc

So anywhere you see this names also starting ending with CHI or chukwu .... in nigeria that person is an igbo clan



Chi or chukwu, olisa is God and most igbo name is an acknowledgement of their God

finally if an ikwere man speaks to me i will understand it perfectly despite I have not lived in their town or among them.
I can't understand French despite I undertook it in secondary school... but u see me understanding a language without even being to their village or community... it tells u something

Hezmatosky:
For the fact that i speak language that sounds like ibo, and bear ibo name, does that make me an ibo guy? Example: i speak and bear English name doesn't make ne an English man o. Take that to your skull. Warn your people, don't get close to Asaba

well, you speak and answers an English name because we where colonised by Britain and also practice their religion and as far as history is concerned the igbos are not known to have a centralised system of kingdoms like you see in Benin empire etc but rather a decentralised system that is why there is a say that igbo does not recognise or have a king... igbo ama gi eze.
and as such there is no centralised force to colonise igbo speaking tribes of Delta. the kingdom that has that power is the Benin kingdom.

So the igbo couldn't have colonised them and secondly they would not have left their ancestral name and unique language and start answering and speaking a language that igbos hears and understands.


secondly do you know that Nzeogu that carried the first coup is an igbo from Delta state and because the North knows that there is igbo in delta they attack the whole of igbo nation. when they get to Asaba, the massacre a whole village and Anambra, imo are not left out..


know history and study it and discover the truth.

saying u are a woman where as you are a man with xy chromosome doesn't make you a woman... just like bobrisky

PortHarcourtcit:
she be Ikwerre

if she took drugs now n was caught you will say igbo... just because of what..? the name Ngozi.

irrespective of where you here igbo names from chukwu to Ngozi to even Amarachi or Amaechi etc.
just know they are igbo clan although they might not be South Easterners but know this that igbo nation is beyond South East.

same way you see yoruba in. Republic of Benin and hausas in Niger

Hezmatosky:
Dey play!
Sha make una no still carry una madness near Asaba

igbos are in Asaba... the ika and others are an igbo tribe.
Do you know that there are igbo clan in Kogi state also?

the igbo clan are scattered beyond South East.

Omokiri the new igbo hater won't see this. if it is the other way round she took the money he will us how Peter obi want to take something that does not belong to him

Nigeria must go with dialogue with Niger to either return to civilian rule within 1 year but invading it is unacceptable.

France must not use Nigeria to continue their exploitation in Niger.

He was the one that wanted to have my hand in marriage and if he cherish me, he should do all they wanted since he is not paying twice

this words of yours seems too entitled.
why will u say that. you should have talked to ur parents and even at that act as if u are on his side.
he should buy cow are u a virgin?
he should rent big hall.... the way I see it it will be Hall of 300 to 400k?
he should do this n that?
like play like play millions don drain down
your parents just want to show off without taking into consideration about the happiness of their daughter.

If they wanted elaborate wedding then they should have assisted him.
after paying everything on trad... still on wedding ur dad Insist on cow.. of almost 300k
for someone earning meagre 150k
una well don

DrinkWater10:
Please where can one get hepatitis b vaccine?

Go to nearest health centre close to you.... civic Hall, local government area etc

tommy589:
Buhari rail construction and relocation to Niger is now under threat

almost 2 billion dollars gone like that with no economical benefits and we are still paying interest on the loan.
while no rail way that connects east to Lagos that will move goods from Lagos to onitsha, owerri, Aba, port Harcourt and calaba

we should vote for him second term to actualise the vision
campaigning for second term small small
tomorrow you will here we didn't make those promises.

Amayabor1:
Lol. You really need help. Do you realise the video you posted is about chronic hepatits B and not hepatis B infection as a whole?

First, it is live and not leave. Second, hbv infection is not a chronic medical condition (as the image you earlier posted said). Thirdly, hbv is chronic if it exceeds 6 months and not 6-9 months. Fourthly, there is no indication that OP got the virus when he was a baby. He probably may have gotten it recently as an adult. I agree with you that the OP will live long and be healthy if he goes for regular check-up (I have never said otherwise)

I repeat, one can get acute liver failure if HbsAg is positive but HBeAG is negative.

Drop your pride and learn

what we have been discussing is chronic hbv not acute.... and I did say that opp case is chronic... since he just discovered it by surprise. since he wasn't sick or anything he went for employment medical screening and found out right? then it's chronic


Secondly I have been hammering on HBeAg being positive or negative that should tell you am referring to chronic hbv..
when you get infected, the body hormones system flares up and try to kill the virus and the first sign here is the HBeAg turning negative. which is a part that replicate the virus.

everyone will have hbeag positive at first but as months goes by the body keeps fighting till it get rid of the whole virus or part that replicate it which is HBeAg. while 80% individuals are able to clear the hbeag others fail to clear it and this people are at higher risk except they find out on time. because the virus quickly multiple into 50,millions to even 100,000 millions


we have seen people clear the hbv virus within 9 months which exceed the usual 6 months.... that's why i added extra 3 months.


I posted three results.

so the first is a profile which shows hbeag being negative.... these set of patients usually have low dna and copy logs and the dna log will remain so in most cases or hovering around such figure.

the second person is 900 which is not up to 1000 as such he is not a high risk. he won't need any drugs and this persons are usually hbeag negative

The third result shows a high load of about 1.3 million which is very high.... this person needs medication and must check his liver if there is any damage ongoing already and there is any damage, then he can start medication which will knock the virus off to undetectable level In 6 months... then the liver will heal back or grow back to fresh new liver. but if it got to cirrhosis then there is a drug to slow it down.. for cirrhosis can't be healed or recovered... while fibrosis can be healed or recovered.

that is the power of the liver. but such a person must remain on the drug for life. taking each tenofovir tablets once a day to keep the virus at bar.

again the liver is something that grows or recover every night. that's why we are asked to eat early by 6pm we should eat our evening meal so that bythe time we are on bed... midnight the liver could have enough time to regrow.


hbeag turning negative is very important and a good indicator that a whole lot of risk has been minimise.

So when a patient comes to you.. tell him the good side about success stories... give him statistics that if there is 350 million hbv on earth, only 600,000 that dies which is less than 0.02% and those people is because they did not find out on time,and with proper lifestyle he will be among the 99. 9% of people still living . . tell him that although this is this but if u take your medication, check your self then you are fine. tell him about future drugs coming up, tell him to register for trial drugs so that when these drugs get to human trial... he will benefit from such trial.

If u start telling him negative stories... thinking u are helping him then other things like HBP will kill him first before even the hbv

[quote author=Amayabor1 post=124823958][quote]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzrHHTTkLTc

educate your self with this video

I repeat when a person has HBsAg positive and was able to clear HBeAg then there is no cause of alarm... because 80% of them need no drugs or medication but must stay away from alcohol,and stay healthy.

even if you test positive to hbeag there is no alarm... there is a drug to knock it off... Interferon can do that.


they only need to go on for yearly checkup on their liver for... that's all


hbv is chronic if it exceed 6 to 9 months and the body fails to clear the virus.

The rest u are typing have already been answered.

The opp have nothing to fear. he will leave his full old age and nothing whatsoever will happen as long as he follows medical advice and from all indication he has it when he was a baby and from the way he sound he is over 30 to 35 years and I assure you he will leave 40 years more and take no single drugs if his HBeAg is negative unless in the case where there is reactivation and it rarely happens.

once you are hbeag negative you are negative unless in rare situations

Nigeria should please put head together to solve this crises.
the government must find alternative to fuel import.

refineries should have been built to replace those outdated ones

[quote author=Amayabor1 post=124809040][/quote]do you know that you can get kidney failure from simple malaria given to you by mosquito bite? other stuff you can get from malaria is anemia and jaundice, seizures, mental confusion and even death and what are the chances that you get acute liver failure..... 1% or at most 4% and we haven't seen that in almost 1000 patients.

The most common problem we have seen is fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer and when you are on your yearly routine scan you will spot those things and take drugs to correct it and you are at risk when you have a very high loads of virus and over 20 years to get to cirrhosis.

The liver is rugged in nature and don't easily succumbed to threat.. it can even regenerate.. like grow back even if destroyed to about 75%.

that's why we encourage everyone to get tested and know if you have it so u can watch your health....its no death sentence as most Nigerians think..

high blood pressure as simple as we see it kills 10 million people per year. now check your pa n mom, elderly i' your family and you will see someone who has HBP.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) kills almost twice the number... 17 to 18 million each year.

hvb kills not even up to half a million people per year and 90% of those people that died yearly only found out only when they get to the end point of liver failure... early detection remains the key and with time drugs with functional cure will be out. it won't take 10 years from now.
hepatitis C which is more stubborn n infectious now have a 100% cure so it's matter of time.

sinaj:
He cant take anything up. Hepatitis can be transmitted easily via contact with sweat, urine or saliva. So no company will willingly employ anyone infected with hepatitis B cos you will endangering other staff and will even risk law suits from staff that dont have hepatitis B

everything you type there is false... hepatitis b is through blood to blood contact and of the person is very infectious then it can be contacted through seamen.


in Western countries you will be employed anywhere except in hospital where you need clearance .. and prove that you are not a health risk to others

the only place they won't employ you is Arab countries but Europe, US, Canada you have no worries.

bouncin04:
What are some of it's symptoms please?

u only get symptoms at early stage of acute and not everyone show this symptoms but some people have yellowish skin, eyes, fever, etc...

When it enters chronic... no symptoms at all because when the liver is sick it shows no symptoms (but if u pay more attention to the right section of ur ribs... each time u eat oily food, fried stuff or anything too hard for the liver.. 'then u feel this ichy but most people will pass that as nothing) unless when it is unable to perform it function again.... then just like the kidney... the belly start to grow big.


so when u test positive n chronic .. remain calm and do a yearly check up just like someone having a BP. if there is need to take drugs u start taking a - (1 tablet) tablet daily called tenofovir just like vitamin c.. and u will be fine. nothing of whatever will go wrong with u and leave normal life till other sickness or natural old age kills the person.

Agbadocassava:
Every Igbo wants military coup in Nigeria nd they forget that the leaders of such coup will still be either Hausa/Fulani or Yoruba. You guys are at the bottom when it comes to leadership in Nigeria even SS has upper hand than you guys…

You are very stupid and lowest of human.

what concerns igbo with mali or Niger.
it seems if you guys have not mentioned igbo you guys won't rest or have peace.

don't die unfortunately because of igbos

Amayabor1:
I agree with you. But don't assume Nigerian doctors will put fear in the mind of patients before they help them. That's a hasty generalisation.

Even though it is good to give hope, you must tell them what they have and the likely outcome. It is not putting fear in them. The truth is that our people hardly go for routine check-up so when you say they should be going for routine check-up to check their organs, I laugh. You are talking like a Westerner and not a Nigerian. The next time many of them come back, they are already having complications from HBV infection (and it is mainly due to lack of money. Many of these tests are not cheap for the average Nigerian).

Hbv is even deadlier than hiv. So, while it is good to give hope, telling them the truth about the infection, the likely prognosis, the things they should avoid, the likely financial cost of treatment and tests etc doesn't mean Nigerian doctors spread fear.

you see why I hate talking with likes like you? are u a Hepatologist?and what differentiate you from those people who rejected him from working with them all because he was positive?it's because u lack knowledge in this areas that's why u used that statement and ignorance kills faster than anything

a quick reminder those who have low virus has nothing to fear as the virus has little or no effect on them. and majority of this person falls in line with those who are HBeAg negative individuals and 80% of individuals that has HBeAg don't need any drugs as they remain soo for life.
Although some individuals will see reactivation... those who resort to taking alcohol, those who undergo bone marrow transplant/chemotherapy are likely to see reactivation

even those who has high load still have nothing to fear.. Once they are on tenofovir everything is cleared n they should remain in tenofovir for life or till when HBsAg turns negative and it takes teno in less than 6 months to bring viral load down.

and it takes 20 to 30 years for hbv to destroy the liver and for it to successfully do so it must be in hundreds of thousands to hundred of millions.

I have not seen in my entire life where just 2000 viral load lead to cirrhosis unless in places like middle East where they have an aggressive variant and most HBeAg negative I have seen are usually 0 to 400 viral load as their immune system keeps things in check.
all they have to do is to go for yearly check up..... LFT, liver scan and they are fine.

few years from now there will be a drugs as there are many drugs on 2nd trial stage and many have shown efficacy in reducing hepatitis B only few years from now a breakthrough will be found.

Amayabor1:
It is clear you don't even understand the pictures you posted. Your own pictures rubbishes your claim.

You: for you to develop active liver damage, then the virus should be running into hundred of thousands to millions to hundreds of millions.


Your own pictures: 500 to 5000 unlikely to cause harm or infect (notice it didn't say it can't infect. It says it is unlikely to cause infection. Meaning, there is a chance it can). There are people who have underlying conditions that can make it possible for even 500 copies of the virus to cause infection. This is also possible for very young children and theirs can easily progress to chronicity.

5000 to 250,000- low risk (it didn't say no risk. Meaning there is a possibility even 5000 IU/ml can cause an infection).

I guess you are a lab scientist who was tormented in the Nigerian health sector before leaving for the UK. Kpele! .

I actually do not blame you though. You do not know the natural history of HBV infection, neither do you understand the pathogenesis.

Well we are not here to trade insult or blame.
am here to give hope to those who are with the infection that they have nothing to fear once they know what they have got and how to manage it and what they should eat and not eat,test they should run.


But in all we keep moving with hope until we get to full old age and exit the world.


if you get hbv... just know that u can live life to old age . give birth, see your grand children and if possible great grandchildren. all u should do is just checking your organs not only for hvb also for other diseases.

to those who are negative should also check their organs... kidney, check your heart, lungs etc at least once in a while. as disease when spotted on time there are drugs to put it under control.

Amayabor1:
This is false. Hepatitis B virus is not a cytotoxic virus, that means, the virus doesn't injury to the liver. What actually causes injury to the liver is the person's immune response to the virus. In an attempt to kill the virus, the immune system also kill normal liver cells. So, you are wrong when you say for a patient to develop acute liver failure, the virus must be running into hundreds of thousands or millions. Few hundreds or tens of the virus can trigger an immune response and with such immune response, acute liver damage can occur.

I understand that Nigerian doctors will first scare patients before trying to help that patients get better.

https://www.hepbpositive.org.uk/understanding-viral-loads

UtuokeAlcoholic:
Good evening doctor, from your comments I know you are either a hepatologist or gastroenterologist. I myself is a hepatitis B patient. I became aware of the virus in 2012 after developing serious symptoms such as yellowish eyes, edema, ascites, fever etc. After I was diagnosed of the virus, I was admitted and lamivudine, b complex were prescribed for me for one month and a drug neomicin (I could not remember its name). From there, I was discharged and stopped taking any drug. Then in 2019, I developed liver cirrhosis with upper gastroentistinal bleeding. From there I underwent endoscopy 15 times and banding 8 times. Now I was placed on propranolol 40mg once daily. I did profile test, the surface antigen (HBsAg) is negative but I can't remember the status of my HBeAg. I have been doing LFT, sometimes the results came out normal and sometimes it is not normal. As for viral load, I have never done it so I don't know the status. Please sir, how do I know whether I still have the virus or not because I was told having HBsAg negative doesn't mean that I am free of the virus.

you shouldn't have stop the medication... its for life because once you stop the virus multiply quickly and start their havoc.

a loss of HBsAg or where the test shows negative means you are free.

run an anti-HBs test to confirm and if positive it means you are free.
a loss of HBsAg gives rise to HBsAb as both can't be positive at same time


go to another lab and run another test

Amayabor1:
It seems you are only looking at chronic infection. A patient who has a positive HBsAg can develop acute liver failure even if HbeAg is negative at the time of testing.

for you to develop active liver damage, then the virus should be running into hundred of thousands to millions to hundreds of millions.

most patients with HBeAg negative have viral load of just 100, 500 to few thousand and as such they are far less likely to have liver damage.

what I mean here is that most of them have low viral DNA levels(<104 copies/ml).

But they must at least do liver scan and also LFT once in a year and from data from a non profit organisation in the UK.. which shows that as long as there is no Co-infection, as long as there is normal ast n alt reading normal value then that individual is less likely to have liver damage.



like i said liver damage don't happen over night... because the liver is able to regenerate and can regrown if damage to over 70%. and it takes 20 to 30 years for hbv to do huge damage to the liver n once u are doing this check up once in a year.. 'you should spot it and take action to reverse it.

We have seen a situation where a person has viral load of 50 millions to 100 millions with no single liver damage and as soon they are placed on tenofovir the viral load drop to undetectable level within 6 months


the most important thing is to be positive.... fear brings a lot of woes... after all people are dying of cancer, malaria etc hvb is not something that takes life....today today.. 'it takes years of non detection n once detected then you are fine.


let's give people hope... don't scare them thinking they will die today.... I repeat hope to remain positive n live for Tomorrow

Amayabor1:
Point of correction;

If HbeAg is negative, it doesn't necessarily mean there is no cause for alarm.

whats your reason to say so.. any valid reason let me know?

A negative HBeAg result indicates very minimal or no HBV replication..
all u have to do is yearly check up to see how it progresses or how the immune system handles it. avoid alcohol because it can reactive it.

There people whose HBeAg is negative and their virus remain low for a period of 30 to 40 years without taking no drugs. and also note that about 1% of this set are lucky to clear the virus of their system.
while some as they get older the immune system gets better at handling it better.
