You know, your attempt at justifying the indefensible is getting really ridiculous and you are just proving that you are trying to cover up something with your very weak arguments.

See, you need to understand that Trump's bungle does not absolve Buhari of incompetence and cluelessness. They are not linked as you guys are making it look like. So there is nothing bad in admitting Trump messed up while you still continue to criticize your President.

In the transcript which I'm sure you have read, Trump clearly mentioned the UV light issue first and then went on to talk about ANOTHER option which was the disinfectant and that was the point he used the word "injection". In the transcript, the two options were presented in separate paragraphs indicating he was talking about two different things.

In English, register of words is important. You don't "inject" UV light into someone in medical parlance. You "beam" UV light. The term "injection" is used for penetration of liquid into the body via a syringe, or similar device. It's like saying you want to inseminate light. How?? Also, the example you quoted was totally irrelevant as it referred to abstract qualities i.e she injected scorn into her voice, CR7 injected some pace into his play, etc This cannot be your support for "injecting" UV light which would have been yet another gaffe.

You know, you can also build credibility when you are man enough to own up to your mistakes and make lemonade out of lemons! So just give it a rest with all these lamely defensive attempts that will make you look extremely dumb which I believe you are not.

UV injection. More instances.

And doing so on f$$$ing LIVE TV?? . shocked

Would you say the same if Buhari suggested to Dr Ehanire that Nigerians should try out bitter leaf soup as a treatment to Covid-19??

Honestly I give up on you guys.

*Zooms off*
I will say the same thing if it were Buhari. It's pandemic season so no suggestion is useless. It's left for health care professionals to use his suggestion or correct him if it is wrong.

By the way, who are you guys that you give up on? Do you think I have time for Naija ethnic politics? Mtcheew undecided
Re: Trump Suggests Injecting People With Disinfectant As Treatment For Coronavirus by Gabbriell: 7:08pm On Apr 24, 2020
Trump talks a lot so it's quite easy for the media and bloggers to misquote him.

One of his experts carrying out research on the coronavirus said "sun light and heat kills the virus quickly". Trump only asked if there is a way to use that as a cure by introducing such internally (I.e inside the body) or externally. He said that is interesting.


Watch the video and listen to what trump said personally not what the media is reporting. Election time is near, so this guys are just playing politics.

No where in Trump's statement did he used"another'.

One question. Can light be injected? Yes or No?


You cannot "inject" light. To inject is to FORCE a liquid into something else. You can't force light into something.

And I did not say Trump used the word "another" in his speech. Read my comment well. I stated that his references to injection and disinfectant were in another paragraph.

His quotes:
"Supposing we hit the body with tremendous ultraviolet or very powerful light"
"I've seen the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute... do something like that, like injection inside..."

Upon hearing the phrase "disinfectant"... most people will reach for bleach and dettol.
Did you know that a ton of bacteria and viruses die in the sun or upon exposure to disinfectants on surfaces? We might as well stop making medicines, because, you know, "we can just inject people with dettol since it acts the same way"

If a leader is helpless, it's far better to say: "the medical community is working hard on a solution", and leave it at that, rather than give the impression he has any clue what he's talking about to save face - while potentially exposing people to hazards.

I'm not doubting the man talks like a 6 year old and he himself said he is no doctor but Trump will be Trump, everyone knows this by now. Once again common sense is not common. If anyone told you to drink bleach and you did, doctor or president then you're freaking stupid!

Furthermore looking at the two quotes, why would you automatically reason that disinfectant means lysol/bleach instead of light? Are we so gullible as humans to forget context? Because to me disinfectant means to get rid of infection or to cure and that could mean medicine, light, bleach etc.

No the statement is a continuation of his previous statement on UV and yes you can inject light. cool

You clearly didn’t watch it or are in denial trying to spin what he said...

He said, supposed ‘we bring it inside the body...by injection...’ and suggesting it should be tested.

He mentioned bringing it inside lungs as well....and that it should be tested.

The guy is senile and a mental case...stop defending stupidity. Trump himself acknowledged that he said it today, but deflected that he was joking, we know he was not...he meant what he was saying and thought he was contributing something sensible, but as usual he was speaking like a four year old.

A four year old that is smarter , more blessed , more successful and richer than any male thing in your family lineage for the last 200 thousand years ...Now go back to your misery because Trump is not going anywhere whether you Muslims like it or not

2014 article on using UV injection to treat SARS Corona

I see you have a problem understanding English. Read the picture you quoted well. What was injected was the Vaccine and not the UV light. The UV was an adjective describing that the vaccine had been subjected to UV light to inactivate the virus. Obviously this must have been done "before" the injection of the vaccine into the human body.

They supported Brexit, UK has been struggling to leave and today can hardly secure PPE for their Health workers, they supported Bokoharam Nigeria Army is decimating them rapidly, their support equates deaths and destruction.

Most people criticizing trump didnt watch the actual video...I just watched it and I can firmly say CNN twist any words trump says..

Trump only said since soap and disinfectant can kill the virus on the surface,can't the doctors and scientist create something like it that can be injected or taken in,and he categorically said its just a suggestion cus he ain't a doctor...he also said he knows the story would be twisted to suit them....

CNN and other fake news,just like trump calls them are just trying to bring him down,he still made mention of sunlight that since the virus doesn't thrive in an hot region,can't they create something heat like to eradicate the virus...

CNN people started saying that trump wants to kill them by telling them to stay in the sun

You never miss an opportunity to goof in your single-minded campaign of sounding silly.

Yes he did say that, i watched it last night, it's all the media talks about, it's all over youtube and twitter, he himself has not denied he said it...

I'm amazed the lengths you'd go to appear irredeemably dumb in defense of something that is as far removed from you as the moon.

A pathetic Nigerian whining about democrats vs republicans!
