I remember the ad. It was in the early '90s. It was one of the earliest efforts to fight a then silent but growing AIDS problem in Nigeria. Then Nigerians were still in denial about AIDS. AIDS was mockingly called an American Invention to Discourage Sex so behaviours towards casual sex did not change much as a result of this ad. It took the death of Fela for behaviours to begin to change. Infact I am looking for one of the earliest public health documentaries on AIDS in Nigeria which featured Dr. Olikoye Ransome-Kuti and aired on NTA back then. It used to send shivers down my spine Maybe Naptu2 can help me in that regard.

Back in the day, before the first case of AIDS was actually detected in Nigeria, the authorities used fear mongering in their AIDS campaigns. The AIDS symbol featured a skull and cross bones. It was so terrifying that you'd think that you already had AIDS, even though there was no confirmed case in Nigeria. The documentaries that you wrote about featured people that were emaciated and were like walking skeletons.

Then one evening in 1986, Professor Olikoye Ransome Kuti announced (on the Network News) the detection of the first case of AIDS in Nigeria. It was quite scary.


It was around this time that some foreign and domestic NGOs were running campaigns (in conjunction with government) about family planning and so they just incorporated the AIDS theme into their campaign.

The first condom advert was for Right Time Condom. It featured a man who knocked on glass and announced, "I have now decided. . .".

Right Time Condom was made by the Society For Family Health. Most people thought that the advert was funny, but some people complained about it. They wondered how condom and sanitary pad adverts could be shown on TV (Always had also just started advertising at that time).

I don't know what happened to Right Time Condom, but it disappeared and Gold Circle Condom appeared. It was also made by the Society for Family Health. I think this was its first advert.

In the late 1990s or early 2000s, health experts decided that fear mongering was not working and that it was stigmatising people living with HIV/AIDS. The scary documentaries stopped and the AIDS symbol was changed from the skull and crossbones to the ribbon below.

You headline is wrong. Since where did you start working for fake news people?

Read further and you'll see where I wrote that the mod changed the headline and you'll also see the headline that I wrote before the mod changed it.

Beremx:
it wasn’t shown in the video doesn’t mean the gun pointing didn’t happen. I believe Rufai Oseni if he said so. No be today Police start to they point gun

You used the word "Believe". I work based on facts. I did not say that it did not happen, neither do I know that it did happen because we have not seen any evidence that it did happen. I won't swing either way if I have not seen any evidence.

Why did the mod add "Policeman Threatens Rufai Oseni With Gun." to the title? That's not shown in the video.

This was the title that I wrote when I created the thread: "Video Of Rufai Oseni And The Policemen That Stopped Him On BRT Lane".

oseni rufai @ruffydfire

A Nigerian police officer pointed a gun at me and forcefully took my keys and drove my car off, because he wanted to enforce a traffic infraction

SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin

Rufai, let’s not do this. You admitted to me that you passed a BRT lane. It’s against the law. Your claim that google maps took you there is not tenable. You disobeyed and resisted the officers. We’ll sanction the officer who misused firearm if proven…

This has been going on for years.

Desire Oparanozie posted something similar after Oshoala won the award in 2017 (the award was presented in January 2018) and Oshoala replied. They were both subbing themselves for days. Oshoala posted that there are people that pretend to be her friend, but go behind her back to attack her, while Desire claimed that Oshoala failed in Europe and that's why she ran to China. It was quite nasty, but it went under the radar because they didn't mention their names.

It seemed as if they reached a truce, but it flared again after the 2019 UEFA Women's Champions League final. Oshoala tweeted to thank God for the goal she scored in the final and Desire posted about people who are selfish and celebrate scoring a goal despite the fact that their team lost.

It's been going on for a while, but Oshoala has stopped responding to it.
