CrimeAnother Fake Doctor Nabbed Over Hepatitis Scam by GoldStandard(op): 5:39am On Jul 15, 2015
A man claiming to be a doctor has been arrested after years of duping staff of establishments keen on personnel health.

Sunday Bartholomew was first detained by management of Excel Hotel in Abuja, where he had duped staff into testing for sexually transmitted infections and paying for hepatitis vaccine, before police took custody of him yesterday evening.

Daily Trust learnt the suspect approached the hotel claiming that Centre for Hepatitis and Disease Control recommended hepatitis screening for staff, and injected those who tested negative with vaccine at N1,000 a shot.

Bartholomew told police investigators he injected a total 35 workers in days around his anti-hepatitis campaign programme, and offered antiretroviral drug - Lamivudine for sale.

All women at the establishment tested positive in a “syphilis strip” test he conducted, and he asked them to meet him at a location in Apo for three doses of injections for which he charged N9,000.
He offered hair clippers for men at N4,800 which he said would help them prevent sexually transmitted infections.

The hotel got concerned when its staff began coming down with unexplained reactions, Excel manager Joy Nyesom told investigators.
A female staff fainted twice on Monday, others complained of diarrhoea and some men complained of severe waist pain.

Investigators from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, which regulates Nigerian doctors, recovered from Bartholomew a first-aid box filled with syringes and drug vials, a vaccine cooling box and several records of previous clients.
Bartholomew said he injected the women with 2ml of the antibiotic streptomycin to treat the sexually transmitted infections his “syphilis strip” test showed, but during questioning by the council’s investigators to test any medical training, he had no idea how many milligrammes a 2ml shot contained.

Documents believed to be forged claim he did a six-month industrial training at 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna in 2012 but the document was simply signed “HOD Public Health” without a name.
It also emerged that he is a health school dropout. Investigators also found past records of previous patients that suggest Bartholomew has been on his scam since 2011.

FamilyMUST READ: #transpregnancy And #pregnancyforall by GoldStandard(op):
I logged onto my Twittersphere this afternoon and saw a trend: #Transpregnancy and #PregnancyForAll
Out of curiosity, I opened the trend to find out what the fuss was all about, and there it hit me, like a scene from a sci-fi movie, that which I least expected to see; Pregnant MEN shocked shocked

Apparently, Transpregnancy is trending because activists took to Twitter to demand equal rights for Transgender men as given to women who are pregnant.

Puzzling isn't it? That scientists could figure out a way to get a man pregnant but can't find a cure to HIV or Cancer or other diseases plaguing the society.

Food for Thought: isn't childbearing nature's endowed privilege of a womanhuh You can't help but wonder where Humanity is headed with this sort of trend.

My moniker is arabic ...u wanna tell me there are no fair indians who dont bleach nd still treat their black fellows as second class citizen ?

Read this! an experience of a black Ethiopian lady in india.


As a dark young girl living in Delhi around the 90s - I was used called offensive names such as ''kaalu'', ''blackie'' or ''kauva'' (crow). When I approached adults with such issues they use to console me by saying ''So what if you are dark?- you are intelligent so no dont worry...'' Even these well meaning adults innately considered ''dark skin'' as something inferior that needed to be ''compensated'' somehow- in my case it was intelligence.

Some of the adults I met- from elder relatives to household helpers used to ask out openly- "Why are you so dark- how did you turn out to be the darkest in the family?" WTF?! Do you want a lesson on genetics? They then lament on the fact and express their ''sympathies'' to my parents who used that oft repeated line "So what if she is dark...".

I used to be a good classical dancer but was routinely sidelined for stage performances whilst fair girls who just learnt dancing where put on center stage. When some of my well meaning friends pointed that out to the coordinators in private they gave their reason- "If we put black folk out in the front who will come to watch?" Such incidents used to occur on a daily basis and are too numerous and too tedious to mention. I eventually grew a thick skin, became numb to the slurs and tried to blind myself to the discrimination. As I grew, I got used to hearing comments such as "You are pretty for a dark girl- if only you were some shades lighter...".


Yes! Dark skinned girls do ballet! - but Indian classical? No! let me cake your face with layers of makeup...

However there was that lingering feeling that somehow I had failed as a girl, ''elder relatives'' used to whisper in hushed voices behind my back- "It is very unfortunate that she is very dark - noone will want to marry her but she has a good heart and we will pray for her". Was I insecure after all this? - yes ofcourse! However was I imperfect just because of my dark skin?
Wow... .
Great story, though I don't like the ending!
And yes.. Indians bleached or not treat blacks with disdain! ! !

Of course.... That should be the mindset!
It's only men without goals that get intimidated by a successful woman with a successful career.
And don't get all jittery over marriage, for every Yang, there is a Ying
