exynos:
It is possible to get the virus from a shared clipper service. I know the number of times I have bled from barbing.

The odds are quite low but you should understand that there is a possibility.

Do you know that in the 40+ years since HIV has been around, there is not a single case report of HIV transmission from a haircut/razor/clipper.

That route of transmission is only a theoretical possibility; in reality, it never happens.

exynos:
It's so disturbing to understand that many NLanders feel HIV is only transmitted through sexual intercourse.

They fail to understand that a microstrain of the virus on the blade of a poorly disinfected clipper could infect a host. Or an unseen sharp nail-like metal that must have pierced an infected host in a Danfo bus could infect a clean host. SMH

You cannot get HIV from a puncture from a discarded nail. HIV is a very fragile virus that does not survive for long outside the human body.

Similarly, it's nearly impossible to get HIV by sharing clippers - the clipper would have had to cause open bleeding skin on a person with HIV then immediately used on you and cause open bleeding skin on you. In all my 40 years of having my hair cut, I have never bled from a clipper.

So, people are right to focus on sexual transmission because that is the major means of HIV transmission, usually from people who don't know they're living with HIV. People with HIV who are on treatment and undetectable however cannot pass on HIV to anyone else.

FreeStuffsNG:
ARVs are prescription medications.

HIV management is more than just drugs. Not even here in our HIV Clinics do we immediately place you on ARVs immediately, given the benefits of waiting outweighs the risk of immediately placing you on it, after the confirmation. We usually don't and it's standard in the tx guideline.

In his case, if he's yet to be placed on ARVs or eventually on a different class of ARVs from the ones you're taking there, your effort may amount to waste.

It's better he starts the treatment there first then discuss his concerns with his care provider. There are support groups that will help him even without you getting into any hassle.

I refuse to believe that any country in the world delays the commencement of ARVs in 2024.

The benefits of immediate commencement of ARVs have been demonstrated in the START trial more than 10 years ago, and have been accepted all across the west and all over Africa.

So which country are you practising your quackery in??

Here we go again.

Difrent:
Other workers are other workers. Doctors are Doctors
It costs so much to train one. Government subsidized medical education for the good of Nigerians not for the good of UK.
Dont tell me about wages... Doctors are among the best paid Nigerians.
Equipment?...not bad. (But you trained with those equipments manage it to work too)
Working conditions?...they have one of the best in the country
And like I said
It will make more sense if you want go work in the UK to train as a doctor in the UK too
Why do you think even UK citizens are not even studying medicine.....it's the cost
The UK health system is heavily reliant on medical workers from India and Nigeria.
The UK government is gaming it's two biggest former colony

Oh yes, our health system is so perfect that all the politicians are treated abroad. What a clown!

This story hasn't aged well ha

Echile:
Which one is "Igbo Nsukka" here and there?

Have you ever heard
"Igbo Owerri"
"Igbo Onitsha"
"Igbo Aba"

Makachi, guy make una wise up abeg 🙏

He literally explained the phrase in his very first sentence. Every author is at liberty to coin unique words or phrases as they see fit.
We need to be calming down - the courage to criticise is very cheap.

@OP
Interesting take on history. I read the Igbo - Igala borderland by Shelton in university - it does provide a unique perspective. I however look forward to reading an indigenous account of Igbo Igala relations. Please let me know how to order the paperback version.

ValeeLove:
Apostle Edu was right about this man. The man no dey represent LP well. Vote someone else abeg, even if na APGA.

At your age you still dey believe apostles.

Hahaha

He clearly intends to say Peter MBA who is his arch rival. Use your brain.
The number of times we all say Peter Obi in a day, I'm not surprised if everyone named Peter is now called Peter Obi

Chizzyjforce:
Udoka is full Igbo name though. The guy dropped the Akwa Ibom name and continued with Igbo name even unto his child/children.

We can see it's not only Africa that shy away from office tangolo.

I'm Igbo, but I absolutely hate this expansionism depicted in your post.
Not everything is about you!

Udoka is an Akwaibom name, as is Udom, Udo, Udoudo, so don't be so ignorant. Don't diminish other people, cos it makes them resent you.

Yet you wonder why you are resented when you want to claim every successful person.

Just because it sounds Igbo doesn't make it Igbo. Learn about the cultures of others and be more respectful.

The meat no sweet, and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Cook your meat in less liquid so the meat can absorb the seasoning.

Soggy onions and green peppers - not for me, thank you. . Wish you had caramelised it first.

4 cubes of big - ar$e knorr cubes? Looks like you're making a pot of high blood pressure

Excessive Vegetable oil. The stew base should be more water than vegetable oil.

Lastly, to add insult to injury, cornmeal and tomato stew?

But you look handsome and healthy, so the food must be nutritious - just not tasty

Angelfrost:
Northern states exceed daily temperatures of 50°.

Nothing new abeg!

You have no idea what you're talking about.
No place in Nigeria has ever been near 50 degrees.
We just have poor respect for numbers in Naija, that's why people can claim their grandfather is 177 years and nobody takes them to task �

Mandate2023:
Normal thing for Naija

How is it a normal thing in Nigeria to have 41'C weather?

Most states in Nigeria have never crossed 36 degrees. Only Borno gets hotter than 42 degrees

£110,000 is N81 million, not N55 million

Ndeewonu NdiEnugwu!

Chinjo2:
Why on earth would UK government sign such agreement with Nigerian government? Buhari is killing nigerians everyday through bad economic policies, bandits, iswap, fulani herdsme, Boko Haram and unknown gunmen are killing people daily. Those that have succeeded to travel out are being deported. For what? Are you bringing them back to be killed?

It's sad that you think the only solution to bad governance is to run away

dawnomike:
Nice... Now that we know, kindly know that your hair type can not enable you to have the type of Marcello's/ Prof. Soyinka Afro that you desire. What you can have is that of Mo Sallah

Okay

When people say they 'blow out' their hair. What do they do? And can I do that

dawnomike:
First things first... Are you a guy or a lady?
If we know the above, we can better analyze the issue

I'm a 35 year old man hah

harqinhola:
Malnutrition among other possible reasons.

Could you elaborate

Hi guys, please allow me ask a basic question.
I would appreciate if people are not snide or rude in their comments please, thank you.

So I've been growing my hair for the past 10 months. I always used to keep a low cut, so growing hair is new for me.

But the problem is my hair curls a bit too much. In fact, the longer it grows, the tighter it curls and I can't achieve my aim of having an actual afro.

My hair also tangles a lot, even though I use a detangler, would comb my hair in the shower, and oil it daily, but it still tangles so much that I've given up combing it, especially because it is painful, I spend 15 minutes combing everyday, and lose hair in the process.

Just wanting advice about what to do so my hair does not tangle and becomes easier to comb.

Please see pics.

Thank you

Rapmoney:
If I am driving and there is a thunderstorm, I dey carefully park my car for safe place till the storm go down. Life nor get duplicate.

You talk like finding a safe place in a THUNDERSTORM is one easy thing to do.
Do you realise you can skid off the road while looking for your so called safe place
Some of y'all be giving advice completely out of touch with reality.

Cousin9999:
Oyinbos are demonic.

But people will be fired and charged behind this. And she will win a law$uit.

They also need to charge the people that call the police. There's no way this was just a random encounter. It's a combination of rëtards in the community who call the cops with false reports or purely out of racism, and then their fellow rëtards swoop in.

Lol you're funny.

Do you think you can turn up at a car park and start selling your goods without a permit.

She was told she was trespassing, and ordered to leave, but she said she will leave when she wants ie within the hour.
Then she was arrested for trespassing and she resisted arrest.

There's no case here. She is in the wrong

I know we don't celebrate our researchers as they are often shut down by conspiracy theorists who think they know better, but let me share this.

I attended a Europe wide summit on the recent monkeypox outbreak, and was pleased to find that as far back as 2017, a team of Nigerian researchers from the University Teaching Hospital, Bayelsa State, Nigeria namely:

Dimie Ogoina,
James Hendris Izibewule,
Adesola Ogunleye,
Ebi Ederiane,
Uchenna Anebonam,
Aworabhi Neni,
Chikwe Ihekweazu

These eminent persons hypothesised that during the monkeypox outbreak of 2017 (Yes, Nigeria recorded the largest monkeypox outbreak in 2017), that Sexual transmission was a plausible mode of transmission. Their observation gives early insight into understanding the new epidemic in Europe where Sexual transmission is thought to be the primary mode of spread.

International bodies including IUSTI and BASHH gave special mention to these men and thanked them for their groundbreaking research.

I hope these men continue to feed the world of science with their noble research in order to help humanity overcome yet another looming epidemic.

@dominique @Sissy3, would you agree these men are an embodiment of the Nigerian spirit: determination in the face of adversity.

Nigerian hospitals that can't test for anything other than malaria and typhoid, are suddenly testing for canine brucellosis.
That's how you know this story is concocted and a lie

BloomingDale:
Equiano, the name of a famous slave boy during the trans Atlantic slave trade? What is wrong with google? What kind of demeaning name is that? And Africans are celebrating? African men, Tuehhh? See as the white man dey take una play Kalo kalo. No wonder they are flogging you guys with horse whip at their border. Wish I had a horse whip to flog you guys too. Lolz.

What an Irredeemably foolish post!

Imagine, 50 years ago, your grandparents were farming the same way. Imagine, 50 years from now, your grandchildren will be farming the same way.
Black brain is cursed.

Good observation. Wrong audience.

obinnajohnson:
Hmmm, these people remember to partner with African countries only when they have a lot to gain. I really don't trust them.

Can you mention one country in this world that trusts the other.

You don't have to trust them. Our leaders just need to capitalise on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take over the very lucrative European Market.
But we already know our leaders can't be asked to put on their thinking caps

Poor guy has needlessly paid the price of Africa's ignorance and fetishism, when an injection of adrenaline could have saved his life .
Angiodema is not witchcraft, people.

We are so easy to impress. So now that you've cleaned it up, where will the waste generated over the next 2 months go? Or its just going to reaccumulate.
Enugu runs an efficient waste collection system, and even our Innoson produces waste disposal trucks for them. Soludo needs to understudy the system in Enugu and apply it here.

BigBashiru:
those donations are unsolicited most of the time. Many African countries are more developed than the United States.... Theres more gun violence in US than in Nigeria with lots of homeless people across major US cities.

I hope this is one massive joke.

If you're serious, then you can't be taken seriously lol
