The legendry Afam and Edikaikon soup are the first delicacies that come to mind, but keep your little knowledge to yourself for a minute and experiece the little wonders these folks can do in their kitchen, makes you think aloud "Igbo and Calabar girls, who cooks better"?

The Federal Government has released the 2012 National HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health Survey-Plus which indicates that Nigeria now has HIV prevalence rate of 3.4 per cent.

The annual survey, which was conducted to monitor the HIV/AIDS epidemic among the country’s population, also monitors other sexual and reproductive health indicators.

Rivers State is leading other states of the country with a prevalence rate of 15.2 per cent.

The Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr. Sani Bala, at the national dissemination of the findings of the survey in Abuja on Thursday, said the results from the survey was a reflection of the efforts by the Federal Government in the fight against HIV/AIDS in the country.

The survey indicated that, “Compared with the 3.6 per cent in 2007, about 3.4 per cent of Nigerians are currently living with HIV/AIDS, with 3.2 per cent in urban and 3.6 per cent in the rural areas; 2.9 per cent among young people aged 15-19 years.”

Taraba State ranked second with a prevalence rate of 10.5 per cent, followed by Kaduna State with 9.2 per cent; Nasarawa state, 8.1 per cent and the Federal Capital Territory with 7.5 per cent.

Ekiti State, however, has the lowest prevalence rate of 0.2 per cent; Zamfara State, 0.4 per cent; Bauchi State, 0.6 per cent; and Ogun State, 0.6 per cent.

The Rivers State government however expressed doubts over the statistics

Speaking to journalists, the Technical Assistant to the Rivers State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Nyemenim Michael said, “Rivers state has had a prevalence rate of 3.1per cent but today, we are seeing a prevalence rate of 15.2 per cent. We are terribly worried and alarmed by these figures. This is because, to the best of our knowledge, these figures do not reflect the true health position. Not from our hospital services, not from activities we have in our outreach programmes.”

Meanwhile, the Integrated Biological and Behavioural Surveillance Survey has said the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate among the rank and file of the Nigeria Police is now below the national average.

The IBBS showed that the rate dropped to 2.6 per cent in 2010, compared to 3.5 per cent in 2007.

The National Coordinator, Police Action Committee on AIDS, Dr. Grace Okudo, a Commissioner of Police, disclosed this in interview with journalists on Friday in Abuja.

She said, “We are proud to tell you that the efforts by the Nigeria Police Force to keep its rank and file free from HIV/AIDS are yielding fruits. The HIV prevalence in the Nigeria Police was 3.5 per cent in 2007. But because of our consistent efforts, it reduced to 2.6 per cent in the 2010, which is far below the national average.”

yea! That's correct, humidity is on the decrease cos the aqua level in the atmosphere is relatively very low this time of the year due to lack of rain, so to try keep the balance, the atmosphere steals water from whatever source it can find including OUR BODIES! So take at least 2ltrs of water everyday to replenish what is lost and eat lots of fruits to keep your skin healthy. MORE TIPS PLS?

How to protect ourselves during the harmattan

· The skin can be kept healthy by application of oily creams and weather friendly clothing. Lip balms or the application of Vaseline to the soles of the feet will prevent them from cracking. · Wearing warm clothes will keep us warm and protect us from the severe cold. · Proper eye hygiene by rinsing with clean water and reducing the exposure to the dust by wearing protective spectacles is advised. · Asthma patients or those with chronic respiratory conditions should pay special attention to their health and take all possible and practicable measures to reduce exposure to the dusty atmosphere and they should carry their inhalers with them at all times. · Sicklers should be vigilant and keep warm as much as possible to prevent crisis. · Due to the dusty atmosphere we should imbibe a healthy food preservation culture. Fruits and vegetables should be properly washed before eating and those of us that store our drinking water should always ensure that the containers are always adequately covered. · We can also keep our homes warm but please be careful as this is also the season when we have the most fire accidents. All fires should not be left unattended and we should avoid indiscriminate burning of refuse during this season.

Only if the governors and senators of every state will say "go and die" to both the widows and less previleged in their respective states, Nigeria go better

I am beginning to see reasons why there may be need for scrutinizing religious sects in Nigeria. I think its high time a body is set up to screen and register Churches in Nigeria. If every Tom, Dick and Harry is allowed to establish Churches as it pleases them, the name of Christ will continue to be dragged in the mud. Whosoever wish to establish a Church forthwith should be probed for authenticity of intent as well as necessary qualification. Pst. Chris got fed up with wayward living and because every goes in Nigeria, he just scribble some scriptures into his skull and without rethink set up a "Church" for ppl of like minds were divorce and re-marrying which Christ hates so much is the order of the day. All they do in his Church is beauty pageant and worldly music and dance. This same person instead of seeking for God's mercy, has the audacity to condemn another sect instead of burying his head in shame. I wonder what his adherence hope to achieve from their so-called man of god. The man better resign and join nollywood. Thats where he belongs. As for the ppl of the Catholic Church, i urge you all to ignore the pastor and be focused. He is likely an agent of darkness and shouldnt be allowed to spoil ur day.

cbrass: Honestly , all those incense you guys burn, the so called holy water, the occultic chants, the pennantsn then the worship of mary ..all this to me are rituals.. You need to give me enough bible verses to back this

my friend its a shame you attend a church where they rant, shout and just read alphabets from the bible without a slite understanding of what u are been fed! God help u
