I just weep for the level of ignorance in this country.

Yearly we dish out graduates in thousands, millions I'll dare to say and this is what we are arguing on social media?

That 5G causes Covid 19?

So advanced countries in the world that has been using it, that's why they have Covid 19?

The 4G we have currently, person no even fit do proper WhatsApp video calls without distortions.

When countries of the world are using WebEx for meetings and newsroom reporting, our 4G can't even let us use it conveniently, we are hawking rumours of 5G causing Corona Virus.

God go help us o.

You label them ignorant but you seem to be the one that is ignorant. If not, you would have known that the 5G Conspiracy theory is being championed by the developed nations. It just caught on in Nigeria recently. Yesterday, they burned down 5G telecommunication masts of Vodafone in England. So you see, it is not a "dumb Nigerian" theory afterall as you claim.

Your only prayer in life should be not to look like the recipients nor live in their kind of environment. That alone trumps any bag of rice you may get from Saraki. That's assuming you are not one of them already.

I love Nigerians.

They start a fire, stick their hands in, get burned and then resort to prayers to quench the fire they foolishly started. That is the depiction of the relationship between Buhari and Nigerians. God gave them an ample opportunity to send Buhari on mandatory retirement in 2019 but they sacrificed their future on the altar of ethnicism, bigotry and religious fanaticism. They reinforced failure and then turn around to wishful dream of accidental death on their choice. The change they seek starts with taking full responsibility of their choices. Folks are not in short supply who will support any regime no matter how evil their plot is. You see them in Buhari supporters. Hitler had supporters. Mugabe had them.So did Abacha. Thus, it is not surprising that a colossal failure like Buhari would have ardent supporters.

Their exploits in US and Europe were very successful. They are coming with new and upgraded version CoVID-20 designed specifically for Africans.
Prepare for mass burial. Casket makers should order more supplies in case the Chinese doctors are allowed into the country because they will witness unprecedented patronage.
\

/
If they are testing positive and recovering at such a successful rate within such a short period of time, what exactly are the inglorious 18 Chinese doctors coming to teach Nigerian doctors?

Just curious. How did you arrive at 5 cups of rice?

Buhari time + CoVID-19 is worse than recession.

Nothing short of giveaways will placate them.

Put her bail at N20m. It will be a deterrent to others. The pocket always tells the truth.

Standing ovation for NMA!

The doctors from China must sit for board exams and pass in Nigeria first before being allowed to practice.

Nigerian leaders are useless.Instead of harnessing and improving what they have, they quickly run to beg as is ingrained in their DNA. Will the doctors come with translators too?

Good morning good people of Nairaland. I hope you all are doing great and keeping safe during this period of corona virus endemic..

Pls I need help!! My younger brother has been battling with a certain rash on his head since 2013. We keep on treating and after sometimes the rashes disappear and appear later.

He has used all kinds of creams and was even on pills to treat the rashes yet the rashes refuse to go. Pls is there anybody that knows the name of the rashes and how it can be treated because my younger brother is gradually losing his self-esteem because he can hardly go out without putting on cap to cover the area that is affected by the rashes.

Suggestions, criticism and possible solutions to the problem are welcomed. Doctors in the house your input will be highly appreciated. Attached below is a picture showing the true state of the affected areas

Pls mods move this to FP for wider coverage

Pseudofollicular barbae.

Google and read up on it.

Don't apply any cream or ointment that contains lanolin on it.

Mrchippychappy:
Igbo business men sometimes tend to be the stupidest set of people in Nigeria.

During the Xenophobic attack, the FG turned against the igbos made derogatory remarks yet Airpeace flew in to rescue Nigerians.

Barely two months after AIRPEACE flew Nigerians out of the volatile SA regions to safety in Nigeria, certain elements in the FG actively SPONSORED an investigation AGAINST the same airline that just helped the inept FG rescue fellow Nigerians. These unscrupulous characters even went as far as inviting the FBI to look into Onyeama's records but their efforts all fell flat! They unleashed their hound dogs - Lauretta onochie and Bashir Ahmed on Onyeama as they tried and still try to discredit the management of AIRPEACE!

Innoson has been on the receiving end of insults, deliberate sabotage and a targetted smear campaign from the FG against him. Recently the media spokesperson for the FG openly ridiculed and insulted innoson using his twitter handle.

Now AIRPEACE has gotten involved AGAIN in helping the same FG that has so much hatred for the average igbo business man.

Ndi-igbo when would you learn your lesson?

Here is a screenshot of Bashir's insult toward the Innoson manufacturers

/
I beg to disagree. When enemies plot your failure, you must defeat them with success. Don't underestimate the power of envy. If you stand down, they win. I like how Air Peace is rubbing his success in their face. The same Air Peace they wanted to crucify was engaged by the same US government to bring back her citizens. Who is deceiving who?

\

/
What would you do as a Nigerian soldier if the order from the superiors is to stand down and only repel attacks? Gen Adeniyi aired his frustration about the deceit going on and was immediately redeployed instead of addressing their grievances. It gets worse that the ones they manage to capture are treated and send back to the battlefield under the guise of rehabilitation. What country pampers confirmed terrorists this way?

\

/
They are offering some ridiculous amount of money for people to go work in New York or Connecticut. Everyone I know dodged
I guess they will entice foreign doctors from third world countries to come and endanger their lives.

Good move by the President.

Mr. Nwabudike should be proud knowing that his nomination was on merit. It matters a lot.

NairaMaster1:
You only spoke on the Physics point. The aspect you know nothing about is the biochemical effects.

EMF is not friendly to protein.
I would have taken this write up serious if he had even ACKNOWLEDGED the effects of radio waves on human health.

Even elementary physics exposed the effects of EMF and RF or RW on human health.

It may not be CORONAVIRUS per se, but it's autoimmune effects.
Let's look at
�
there are a lot of contrary study published in recent years.

Most of them concerned about evidence of biochemical or cellular effects of electromagnetic fields.

Marino and Becker have shown that static or very low-frequency electromagnetic fields may lead to biological effects associated with redistribution of ions.

Furthermore, many studies demonstrated that biological effects of low-frequency magnetic fields may penetrate into deeper tissues.

Foletti et al. showed that ELF-EMF may have an effect on several cellular functions such as cell proliferation and differentiation, which was followed by many other researchers such as Tian et al. who showed its effect on apoptosis, Takahashi et al.

OTHER STUDIES ON IT'S EFFECTS ON HEALTH.

High EMF was implicated in many health hazards.

On DNA synthesis, Goodman et al.

on RNA transcription, Goodman and Henderson

on protein expression, Zrimec et al.

on ATP synthesis, Paksy et al.

on hormone production,
Kula et al.

on antioxidant enyzme systems, Milani et al.

on metabolic activity, and Wolf et al.

on NFkB and cell destruction.

Giladi et al. demonstrated that EMF of intermediate frequency was effective in arresting the growth of cells.

Kirson et al. indicated that this direct inhibitory effect on cell growth can be used for therapeutic purposes in the treatment of cancer.

EMF of very high frequency (like 5G) has thermal and non-thermal effects on the biological systems. This thermogenic effect is mainly associated with the intensity of EMF, which is expressed as specific absorption rate (SAR).

*Thermal effect or increased temperature lead to various changes in the cellular functions, which may result in cell destruction.
*
Morrissey et al. showed that biological effects may occur even at very small temperature changes in in-vitro experimental models.

There are many papers showing that a weak EMF (NOT 5G) has no significant effect on biological systems.

MrPhysics probably read a Physics textbook written in 1973 that he checked out in University of Ibadan's library. I won't put it beyond Nigerian professors to be teaching from the notes they prepared in 60s. We can learn to excuse his half-baked education...not entirely his fault.

Human Physiology is too extensive to be explained only with its relationship with non-biological science like Physics.
\

Myself2:
@ OP
Rubbish !!
Have you used 5G before
Copy copy physicist.

This reminds me of so many years ago when the corporate mafia behind cigarette refused to admit that cigarettes were cancerous, they even employed the services of renowned pulmonolohists and other professors in the field of medicine to push their cause and support their false claims,,,,,and of course, baby scientists ( like the OP now) and the gullible ones quickly believed and helped the corporate mafia to further their clause. They just had to do a little lazy "research" and stumble on the materials published by the compromised senior scientists and pulmonolohists.
However after so many years of deceit, they all have now come to accept the obvious, but we know what damage has been done already.Sadly enough though, the dangers of 5G radiation are way higher than those of cigarette smoking, let's brace ourselves for the onslaught of advwerts, write ups, research papers that will be aimed at convincing the gullible world that 5G technology is not harmful. All is well, one way or the other, they will have their way, but eventually the world would come to an en. Jesus is LORD

/.
A quasi-scientist like the OP thinks most researches are independent. Even doctors are paid to prescribe some certain medications by certain vendors. Some people are too educated to separate theories from realities. I like how he assumes authority by highlighting that he is a Nuclear Physicist. What subspecialty in Nuclear Physics is his area? A couple of years down the line, the 5G documents may be declassified after the harms must have been done.

\

mrphysics:
If this is true as it is, when then do people claim a radio wave is harmful to the body?

/
Read again. That was a question.

\

sammyj:
If truly the 5g runs on photons teleportation process, then it's good and safe to say it is not harmful to human health since the same technology is used for the fluorescent tube and the X-Ray technology. My fair now is how safe is our data running through China Quantum Technology !!!

/
X-Ray is not harmful to human health?

\

kingxsamz:
Smh...
If you have evidence to prove your claim about 5g being harmful, why don't you lay it out? ...
The op has already given a logical explanation to debunk the rumors flying around...
Since you know better and have read more textbooks and journals than the Op, then you should be able to explain yourself, logically.

/
I already saw wrong numbers in the data he threw around. No need to engage him. He couldn't delve into genetics. If you must know, nuclear science has subspecialties. MyPhysics is only taking a stab at the elementary level of radiation.

\

If those racist French doctors show up in Nigeria, MrPhysics will join the queue to get vaccinated because he read a book that states that vaccination is good. So much for our education. As a Nuclear Physicist he claims, ask him if he can identify a kitchen microwave in a lineup.

\

Failure44:
A GRADUATE IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS is telling you something and an illterate like you that probably studied book keeping or English is saying another thing.

/
A graduate in Nuclear Physics. Is he the head of NASA? Don't be fazed by certificates that Nigerians throw around. Which programme is he affiliated with? Cram and vomit at work. That's all.

\

mrphysics:
I went through this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/5774444/fact-check-coronavirus-caused-5g-technology by aminulive and while I appreciate what he has done, I think enough needs to be done to drive that point clearer to the Nigerian audience. However, my fear is that when scientist and health practitioners say something, most people, especially Nigerians will accept the ones coming from religious leaders.

I will try my best to explain in details what you should know about radiations.

Classifications of Radiations
They are two basic classification of radiations, they include:
1 Particle radiation: This contains charged and neutral particles
2. Electromagnetic radiation: (Photon flow. 5G belongs to this group.)

We can classify radiations according to their biological effects on matter, here, we have two types of radiations: Ionizing and non ionizing radiations.

You must have heard these two in recent times, so what is ionizing and non ionizing radiations?
a. Ionizing radiations: This means radiation have enough energy to eject one electron from the atom of the crossed material.
b. Non ionizing radiation: Particle energy is not enough to eject one electron from the atom, therefore it is said to have lower ionizing potential.

Great, let's advance further. The next question is, at what energy is a particle considered as ionizing? I won't waste much time here, so let's concentrate on 5G and their corresponding energy.

I am a graduate student of Nuclear Engineering. And in one of our course called Interaction of Radiation with Matter, we discussed everything about ionizing and non ionizing radiation.
Therefore, for tissues/matter consisting of Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen (Which the human body fall under), radiations are considered as ionizing radiation if their energy is greater >> 12.4 eV (electron volt). The wavelength of such photon is 0.1um (micro meter). .

Using the relationship between energy and frequency, E = hf, I made a quick calculation and realized that the wavelength of such radiation must be 100nm (0.1um) and the frequency (Hz) is to the order of 3 x 10^15 hertz. We do know that the frequency of a 5G network (5 Giga hertz - 95 Giga hertz) and discovered that it's frequency is of the order of 10^9 hertz. which is million times lower than what is considered as ionizing. It therefore means that photons from a 5G network can never ionize the human body.

We know all these because to excite the electron from the ground state of a hydrogen atom to the first excitation state, you must have an energy of 13.6 eV. If you check the energy of a 5G wave, you will see it is approximately 0.00002 eV which is a million times lower than the fundamental energy of ionizing radiation.

Some persons have also linked it to cause cancer and the rest, this is not true. Of course there are two effects of radiations which is stochastic and deterministic effect. Deterministic effect occurs instantly and severity increases with radiation dose where as stochastic effect does not occur instantly but will take time to manifest.

Let me point out that, those who survived the Hiroshima and Nagazaki bomb blast and were followed in a study called Cohort Study, out of over 100k followed person, only about 2% died of cancer related cases which manifested about 50 years after the incident. Remember these people took many grays of highly ionizing radiations.

Whenever you take flight from a particular place to another, you have absorbed more ionizing radiations that someone living 20km from a nuclear power plant. When you take 1-9 cigarettes a day, you take same risk as someone who took a dose of 3.4Sv from a bomb blast.

To end it, 5G network is not an ionizing radiation, and poses no harm to the body, well not anyone that has been experience now. It will take many years for one to experience any such effect (Which to me is not possible). Some of us have done X-rays, if only you knew you stood against an ionizing radiation, and yet still healthy, you won't be talking about 5G network.

The words of MrPhysics

Many years ago, studies showed that asbestos posed no threat to humans just as cigarette smoking was cool to the core. The earth was flat. Earth was the only planet. The condiments used by fast food joints were non-carcinogenic.

Today we know better. Science is continually evolving. Researches are still on-going. It is always better to err on the side of caution. Don't rule out anything wholly because you read a few textbooks and journals.

People quote the Bible to affirm their beliefs in Jesus Christ.

Bible is the holy book of Christians. Do they really expect it to say something different?

I never understand that line of argument. How can Christians convince non-believers if the latter believe that the book you are quoting is fiction? And round and round the quotes go...still centered on the same Bible. Where is the counter-argument? It doesn't help that the one trying to convince you holds the Bible as the absolute truth because his or her parents bore him/her into Christianity.

The greatest law in the Bible: Love thy neighbour as thyself. Yet Catholics cannot stand Prorestants who cannot stand Pentecostals who cannot stand orisiri sects.

The only reason Nigerians embrace religion or do I say christianity wholeheartedly is because it promotes laziness and absolves them of any responsibilities. Corona at the door? Pray! Caught in crime? Blame the devil. They don't have to lift a finger to direct the course of their lives.

MERCHANDISER:
Western media has made everything non_western evil. We
need to sit down and look at it logically.
Nigeria has been struggling to fight BH for decade, US has
never shown any genuine support, infact, at a time they're
were technically supporting BH by blocking every
opportunity
to access weapons. Whereas, the same US has been
building sophisticated millitary bases all over Africa with
several billions of dollars even all over islands in Africa. In
a
continent struggling to provide as basic thing as clean
water,
road, edu, etc. In term of infrastructural development, US
hasnt built anything tangible anywhere in Africa despite her
big economy and influence.
On the other hand, China is building projects across Africa
from electricity to train to Airport, roads, scholarships to
Africans, etc even with their own money. Let's say we can't
pay and they take over them, who would still be using
those
infrastructure, Chinese? At least they brought them here, so
if we can't pay back and they take over them these things
would still be in use by Africans and improve quality of life,
just like every private business.
US/Trump that everyone is supporting call Africans all kinds
to unprintable names, visa ban, reporting weak sides of
African nations and continuously ridiculing everything we
do.
The list is long. China hasnt done any of these yet, western
media still find their ways into the hearts of Africans to
hate
Chinese. Sadly, enough some fake pastors joined this
brainwashed citizens.
Look at China, how many times have they tumbled African
govt? How many nations have China invaded in Africa?
How
many times has Chinese embassy criticize our local affairs?
Etc
New York started have underground train in 1809, that's
200yrs, they never extended such to Africa. China started
booming just 20yrs ago and they've extended everything
technology they have to us, that have improved our lives;
From phones, train, Good Airport, Naval ship, Telecom,
Roads, scholarships, etc
Africans must sitdown and think. China is not your enemy

The sad truth is that you epitomize everything disgraceful about Africans. Your assessment is based solely on who is helping or giving you. Africans' brains are not made of polymers. When will Africans learn to develop basic things in life for themselves? You brag about being the most educated black nations. But what benefits have you added to humanity with your paper degrees? Are Africans getting educated to be professional beggars? It sure seems like it. Remove culture of dependency from your brains and you will excel. The world owes nothing to Africans in this 21st Century. To hell if you cannot get your acts together.
