Health › Re: I Kept My HIV Secret For Years And Here Is The Truth I Have Been Afraid To Share by higgs: 1:27pm On Aug 13, 2025
I like your last paragraph. America should not do everything. Europe or Asia can still provide the ultimate solution to the HIV problem.
Dogalmighty17:
The world was on the cusp of eliminating HIV for good until Trump came. Outside the breakthrough of Lenacapavir, American scientists had finally figured out how to send targeted medication to the reservoirs of HIV hidden in the body. Places where drugs couldn't get to normally. There was excitement in the scientific community. It was short lived.

Trump came and cancelled all funding for HIV research and programs meant to ensure HIV drugs get to communities that desperately need them. Lenacapavir is very expensive. This twice yearly injection costs roughly 28000 dollars. With funding for generics, the shots could come down to 50 dollars each. But Trump has stopped that.

There's hope that similar breakthroughs can come from Europe. I strongly believe that the battle against HIV can be won and very soon.

Despite the level of political bickering in the US,all American presidents use American hospitals including Trump.What are Nigerian presidents afraid of? [author=Hammylawali post=136107931]

Hypocrisy will kill most you. Why since 2015 and not 1999?..
No be the same aso rock all president stay?..
Let me tell you, most of them won’t use these hospitals even if it brand new because they don’t trust our medical personnel to be confidential and also most personnel can be bought. Make dem no go give one president injection and claim medical error when the deed has been done. Let’s be wise my people, it’s a deliberate decision not to use Nigerian hospitals until we reach a state where we can trust each other to do what’s right!.[/quote]
Politics › Re: What Do You Remember Ex-President Buhari For? by higgs: 9:40am On Jul 15, 2025
1.Pervasive insecurity including in his native Katsina state.

2.Nigerian Air

3.Suddenly withdrawing most currency notes in circulation for no intelligent reason.

4.Taking months to appoint ministers

May his soul RIP
Politics › Re: What Can You Remember Buhari For? by higgs: 7:40pm On Jul 13, 2025
I voted for him in 2015 but within a short time,I realised he had no good plans for Nigeria. Insecurity during his tenure was very high which was surprising considering the fact that he was a retired army General. He couldn't even secure his Katsina state.
Anyway, God blessed him with long life,he lived to ripe old age.
May his soul RIP.

It is all about efficiency. Delay does not neccessarily mean carefulness. If you have a checklist of visa requirements and a comprehensive database of undesirable aliens,you can even issue visas in less than 24 hours especially with digital tools and/ or AI

Health › Re: HIV Surge In Abuja & Lagos: Doctor Sounds Alarm After Personal Experience(video) by higgs: 5:42pm On Jun 22, 2025
Anyone who believes this cannot be a doctor. 75% means that three out of every 4 people in the country have HIV.It is a big lie.
HIV is a big problem, people should abstain or atleast use protection.But alarmists like this lady are not helping.
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.

Foreign Affairs › Re: US Weighing Options To Attack Iran, Demands Unconditional Surrender by higgs: 6:01pm On Jun 17, 2025
It is never a good idea to keep threatening others.The Iranian regime was always shouting "death to Isreal" and "death to America ".
Now the people they were threatening have had enough and decided to act.
Issuing threats while funding and arming Hamas,Hezbollah and the Houthis and at the same time trying to develop nuclear weapons is what caused this war.

He was not wrong.The hospital staff showed no sense of urgency in attending to the accident victim. An emergency should not be handled that
way.Imagine telling someone that brought an accident victim to hospital that you have no hand gloves?

I watched the video and the man in question was wrong.

He agitated the lady and i don't expect him making that video.

You are heartless. One day you may also be an accident victim.If there is anything that prevents hospitals from treating accident victims, they should raise it with the authorities through NMA and the nurses association.We encourage evil and wickedness too much in this country
immortalcrown:
Is the good Samaritan willing to give the hospital his identity in case no one else shows up for the accident victim?

Nigerian database is too poor to support hospitals treating accident victims in certain situations. Many of you might claim that I am heartless. But isn't the nurse also a human? What if the victim fails to pay after treatment and the hospital mandates the nurse to pay the bill?

What if police later gets involved and detains the girl when no one else shows up for the victim? In Nigeria, some legal actions have been criminalised and poor people are the victims. For a nurse to boldly refuse to treat the victim, even when she knows she is being recorded, she must have had many bitter experiences in such cases.
