According to an assessment carried out at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Nigeria where children were screened for malaria parasitemia -falciparum malaria, blood group, hemoglobin genotypes…

Children with genotype AA (92.3%) were more susceptible to Malaria Parasite than AS (5.1%) and SS (2.6%)



Did you know that being a sickle cell carrier (AS) confers some protection against malaria parasite? Well, this is how:

The Malaria Parasite (M.P) has a complex lifecycle and spends part of it in the Red blood cells. In a carrier, the presence of M.P causes the Red blood cell with defective hemoglobin to rupture prematurely making the plasmodium parasite unable to reproduce. During the peripheral blood stage of replication, malaria parasite have a high rate of oxygen consumption and ingests large amounts of hemoglobin.


Further, the polymerization of hemoglobin affects the ability of the parasite to digest it in the first place. Therefore, in areas where malaria is a problem, people’s chances of survival actually increase if they carry sickle cell trait.

Defective hemoglobin(AS) red blood cells adhere to the parasitized red cells much less readily than do the normal red cells(AA)

Abnormal hemoglobin forms can be detected on hemoglobin electrophoresis, a form of gel electrophoresis on which the various types of hemoglobin move at varying speeds. Sickle-cell hemoglobin (HbS) with sickling (HbSC) – the two most common forms – can be identified from there.

Malaria Chemoprophylaxis

The protective effect of sickle-cell trait does NOT apply to people with sickle cell disease-SS (the sufferers) in fact they are more vulnerable to malaria, since the most common cause of painful crises in malarial countries is infection with malaria. It has therefore been recommended that people with sickle-cell disease living in malarial countries should receive anti-malarial chemoprophylaxis for life.

if a solar plant can deliver as much as 75MW @ a cost of $146m, then why don't we build build 200 of such plants across the country to get 15000MW and forget about militants and gas powered plants?

This UBA security man found $10k = N3m on the floor and returned it.
His reward was a handshake.

What a very nice and foolish man.
In this hard economy, God decided to bless him and he dodged it.

My comment - I am not surprised. This is EXACTLY what TB Joshua said in his 2016 prophecy: "The president will do everything to reject revaluation of the naira - which is a good idea from a good leader. But there will be overwhelming pressure which he will not be able to resist. Nigerians, support and pray for your leader. The future is crying for help."
