Virtually everywhere in Jos Plateau state you see this guys,some of them use lighter n some other liquid to sterilise their tools, but I can never patronise these guys

After Razor blade chop my big toe as a child. Anything aside nail cutter, count me out

This practice makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...!

How you look at the young men with their crude and filthy tools, and still submit your toes to them just says a lot about the amount of value you place on your health.

Abi, another set of bandits loading if they are rendered jobless. But I know a lot of people that bought Thier personal tools for the Abokis to use for them just like hair clippers.

This is one of the commonest activities which spread HIV and Hepatitis B but even the learned Nigerians do not know.
Most of them thinks it’s a show of class to have Aboki cut your nails.

The chance of contracting hiv via this means is slim. It can easily spread hepatitis b,c, which are far worse than hiv. Hiv virus easily die off outside living organism. So,if use with an interval of 5 mins the chance of contracting hiv drastically reduces. But hepatitis virus can stay up tp 7 days outside living organism.

Buy sprite and light those toiled before he work on your nails. Our forefather has been using this and they live long. Make Una no dey put fear for person body all in the name of science.

U talk great by buying disinfectant before they will work in your nails, but during our forefathers days, most of this infections and diseases are not present then, so no much risk then than now.

Majority of those who have the diseases you listed most of them have never patronized this aboki if you make your research though, am not disputing the face that the disease cannot be contacted through this medium though

My brother, all those diseases were present then just that they were ignorant about it, and when someone is constantly sick or die suddenly they'll just find a spiritual name for it, not knowing there are unseen physical stuffs responsible

Read and research more, keep an open mind and don't buy into that our ancestors enjoyed life bullcrapp

Very BIG lie...

HIV can't be transmitted via that medium, HIV virus dies once exposed to the air within minutes...

I cringe whenever I see them down here doing the above or barbing hair. *Shudders*

You should have backed your claims with a research using a particular place and samples for case study.
Even barbers operates in this fashion.
Our scientists in Nigeria should focus on things like this for academic projects

Na wetin u bliv go work for you,as for me,I don't believe dis shit

why do you want to put this people out of work when you can't feed them


Doctors said hiv can't survive open space for up to 5 minutes

Tombrown3:
Biggest lie of the century

We’re in 2026. Get yourself educated and stop saying gibberish with confidence. Even before everyone easily had access to internet they taught in school that sharing clippers and razors can be risky and transfer aids but it’s either you didn’t go to school or you didn’t pay attention . Yes the risk may be low compared to sexual intercourse for example but dosnt mean it’s not possible at all

Wisdomvoicepro:
This is very very true because u don't know what they have used it for

Hiv doesnt stay in an open air pass 10 mins.
its likely a lie

Nonsense I hav used xem since 2011 i still never catch

You to wait for 6 months make the virus mature and can be seen via test. If you run am tomorrow nothing will show.

The virus is ineffective after 60seconds. However, if it is sterilized, the person will be free from infection.

I can’t just comprehend why people patronize that service..
Can’t they cut their nails themselves? Lol

Absolute trash. If this can transfer hiv, then half of the population in the north would have gone by now

I cut my mails myself sometimes.

But... I'm still guilty of this.

When my usual laziness starts, I'll even leave my house, take bus to one huge mosque in the area for them to cut the nails for me. Me and my soft body, na so I go dey beg... Aboki, kadan n kadan....

Gods help us. Especially me and laziness. Make e no put me for wahala one day ..

SMH

You see this act, i never do it, not just about the risk of being infected with a decease, i just see it as a lazy act, what does it take anyone to do their own nails

It's not show of class, it's the cheapness of service. I didn't realise heat isn't a steriliser anymore

I don't do it. I cut my nails by myself

Only if there is a cut and the scissors have the virus on it .
However, I do not advise people to go for this form of pedicure.
Looks crude to me .
Gather money and go to a standard shop that are into manicure and pedicure .

Bro,
The virus can't survive outside their host,
If exposed to ,it dies sharperly,
I like ur choice ,
