You just have to give it up for the Chineese. Look at how they manage the Ranch, with hundreds of cows producing Fresh milk daily.

While we are still battling with open grazing and Fulani heardsmen and their killings.

I eat panla fish and it is not because of sapa. I don't want to sound boastful, but the truth is that sapa is very very far from me. I currently can't relate with sapa and I'm very grateful to God for the grace. I'm not rich as such but at least I'm very comfortable.

The last time I went to Nigeria, I bought and given-dried a carton of panla fish which I brought back with me when I was returning to my base. I eat the panla fish for its peculiar taste and I particularly like it in ẹ̀fọ́ rírò or ata díndín.

@olajideobe Thank you!!!!

@TropicalSoulll I thought gymnastics and yoga were fitness? 🤔

@AustriDominus @scotus_wire Dummy, if you know anything about Geography, you'd have known that Somali is no where close to North America, for Somalians to be "hopping the border. " 😒😒

And, there's no difference with your family being here since 1600s if they migrated illegally as well.

@DlubuladledleN @SizweLo You're more at risk of contracting HIV via blood transfusion than from all the other modes of transmission. Blood transfusion requires a larger volume of blood say 350ml. Risk is highly increased. A person with HIV, even on meds is at risk for other infections.

@DlubuladledleN @SizweLo HIV/AIDS patients are banned indefinitely from donating blood. Same for people who live or have lived in countries/areas (for a certain amount of years) endemic for malaria. There are many illnesses people have/exposed to that disqualify them indefinitely.

The Polygamist is dumb, but not in the way you think.

Part of the plotline’s climax is that Jonasi Gomora’s first wife hires a HIV+ woman that she met a few years earlier to infect her serial cheater husband by sleeping with him.

Jonasi subsequently dies because he doesn’t take his HIV meds. The story here is that the woman tasked with passing on the infection still appears healthy between the time she’s infected and when she infects him, which presupposes that she��s on ARVs, yet she’s simultaneously highly infectious enough to infect someone after one encounter.

This storyline is completely detached from scientific reality, perpetuating outdated HIV stigmas and ignores how transmission and treatment actually work.

The reality is that the fundamental principle of HIV is Undetectable = Untransmittable. So if the HIV lady is healthy because she is consistently taking her ARVs, as her health status implies, then her viral load would be undetectable.

In the real world, U=U has proven that a person with an undetectable viral load has ZERO risk of transmitting the virus sexually. By making her healthy yet somehow highly infectious, the show ignores the primary mechanism of how HIV treatment works.

Then there’s just the inefficiency of sexual transmission of HIV.
The chances of a female infecting a male in penile-vaginal intercourse is just 4 out of 10 000 exposures, or a 0.04% chance per act, and that’s assuming the female partner is untreated and has a detectable viral load, which, going by how the show’s plotline treats Jonasi’s progression with the infection, she herself should have been sick and dying by the time she’s approached.

The idea that Jonasi subsequently dies simply because he didn’t take HIV meds implies a rapid progression to AIDS and death, as his twins are barely 3 or 4 years old when he dies, when they must have 2 or so when he got infected. No strain of HIV is this potent.

In the end, the writers sacrificed medical accuracy for dramatic flair, falling back on an old, misogynist trope of the “infectious femme fatale” while completely ignoring the realities of ARVs and transmission statistics.

If the writers wanted to keep the plot point of a highly effective assassination via HIV, shifting to a parenteral route like an infected blood transfusion or an injection would have made the scheme a lot more plausible.

A blood transfusion has an estimated per-act probability of 9250 out of 10 000 exposures.
That is a staggering 92.5% transmission rate from a single event. Compared to the microscopic 0.04% chance of insertive penile-vaginal intercourse.

A contaminated transfusion or heavy blood injection turns the plot from statistically impossible into a near-certainty.

Also, since the show already established that the wife has a corrupt doctor on her payroll, a medical frame-up is a perfect fit. Jonasi gets into a minor accident, or is drugged and admitted to the hospital, the doctor claims he needs a blood transfusion and deliberately uses a contaminated batch🤷🏾‍♂️

The entire thing is a missed opportunity for the writers, who chose to substitute lazy, stigmatising writing for what could have been a tightly plotted thrilling climax.

[Oba II @Lemo_93]

@DlubuladledleN @SizweLo I need you to apply wisdom, if a person's viral load is so low that it is undetectable or insufficient, what virus will they have to transmit? Lol.

[Oba II @Lemo_93]

@Prince_Djad3rd @carter6f He said "spouse" not woman. OP dumb ass wanted attention. And y'all gotta be watching videos before commenting.

[Oba II @Lemo_93]

@carter6f Y'all hate women so much and know it garners a lot of attention. This man never said "if the man isn't happy" he literally said if the couple ain't happy. He also never said "you'll see a lot of women adjusting....." but used "your SPOUSE will adjust....."

You're a 🤡.

@tiphe_j This baby ain't even Black, but you're using a baby of a different race to compare babies born in a predominantly Black country. The joke's on you 🤡.

Chris Johnson described receiving his ALS diagnosis as a shock, saying the doctor told him a medication might extend his life by only a few months and advised him and his wife to get their affairs in order.

Johnson said he doesn’t think anyone ever fully processes news like that, but after the initial shock, he realized he had two choices: give up or fight. He chose to fight.

@jo_ayodele @ChuksEricE It is every government's responsibility to provide jobs to her people, but more importantly, provide an environment that influences job creation. This includes, better policies, loan accessibility, welcoming immigration, tax credit for certain business owners, etc.
