@ecogenezap @Threadscenes 1970, or 1930 or early 1900s still didn’t explain HIV AIDS in Africa. We’ve lived in the forest/bush/jungle in our primitive ways until the civilized people came with civilization and we suddenly lost the arts of hunting and eating bush meat? The scientists need to explain better

I completely understand why it sounds suspicious at first. The jump from chimpanzees to humans didn’t happen in 1983. HIV was discovered in 1983, but the virus actually crossed into humans much earlier — most scientists estimate between 1900 and 1930 in Central Africa (likely Cameroon region). It wasn’t a single dramatic “one cut” event. It was probably several spillover events over time, but only one lineage (HIV-1 group M) successfully spread widely among humans. The main theory is that it happened through bushmeat hunting — when people were butchering chimpanzees for food and got exposed to infected blood or tissues through cuts or wounds. This was happening long before 1983. The virus stayed relatively rare and localized for decades. It only exploded into a global pandemic in the 1970s–80s because of urbanization, increased travel, sexual networks, and medical practices (like unsterilized needles). So it wasn’t that it suddenly happened in 1983 — the virus had been quietly circulating in humans for many decades before science finally identified and named it.

If HIV is sexually transmitted how did the first person get it? 🤔

@ecogenezap @Threadscenes I’m not buying the arguement that cut or wound exposed to infected chimp to humans is how HIV spread. HIV was discovered in 1983, you mean to say since history of Africans in the jungle, it took 1983 to mix blood with chimps to get HIV??

@Threadscenes 🩺 The very first person didn't get it from sex. HIV jumped from chimpanzees to humans via blood contact — probably a hunter butchering bushmeat in Central Africa (cut or wound exposed to infected chimp blood). Sex spread it after that. Science-backed zoonotic spillover!

@ecogenezap @Threadscenes Africans have been living in our habitat before the foreigners came, we lived in our bush, hunted with our primitive tools to butcher bush meat, during this time, there’s no record of HIV/Aids, even though there’s record malaria and other diseases. So help me make it make sense.

@Karigwe 💯 Nnamdi

@ali_naka And some simpletons are saying deliberately missed the pk just for fair play.

If Diaz was Senegalese the Ref would have booked him.

@AmeriKraut @DavidHundeyin

there is nothing more dangerous than envious white people.

@Suzierizzo1 @DavidHundeyin

So this MAGA couple is upset that an Immigrant that lives in their neighborhood drives a $100,000 dollar Lexus! The man is a U.S. citizen & is actually a Physician after going through years of schooling! From the looks of these two I doubt if they finished school period! Jealous

@OurFavOnlineDoc @OurFavOnlineDoc 💯

If everything a country has is just party and nightlife, it is a totally useless country.

@DavidHundeyin Omoor,

Admittedly, the bar is not very high. The only contenders were Murtala Mohammed (anti-Igbo genocidaire and all round nasty piece of work), Olusegun Obasanjo (friend of the Americans and enabler of Tinubu), Sani Abacha (whom nobody will ever understand because that information war was comprehensively lost), and Umaru Yar'adua (who didn't spend long enough in power to be recognised as such). Everyone else was a CIA asset (Babangida, Tinubu), a supreme olodo (Shagari, Gowon, Aguiyi-Ironsi), an interim placeholder (Shonekan, Abdulsalam Abubakar), or a pretender (Nnamdi Azikiwe). Goodluck Jonathan is the only actual nationalist to have ever been Nigeria's president. Of course, he was completely wasted on Nigerians, who still don't recognise the act of violence that was inflicted on them in 2015.

@DavidHundeyin Wtf Zik even you too?🙄

@yourupdateguy @DavidHundeyin @grok youtu.be/Sgu7JO2QCfM?si… Harold Smith is his name.

@DavidHundeyin @grok what is the name of this man and program

@OgbeniDemola 💯 Bible is Jewish history.

My ancestors did not originate from Jerusalem or Saudi Arabia. They came from Africa.

@OgbeniDemola Tinubu should ensure that Nigeria is safe and free from banditry, kidnapping, jihadist and terrorist. Shouldn’t those Nigerian soldiers and fighter jets be sent to Bornu, Kastina, Sambisa forest instead of Benin Republic? Isn’t our insecurity more dire than coup in Benin?

It’s not Tinubu’s responsibility to be stopping coups in neighboring independent African countries. Open your blocked brain for once.

@OgbeniDemola Also art folks aware of the attempt to change presidential term limits in Benin Republic? What sort of democracy is that? We’re just kidding ourselves, and Trump should probably have sent troops into Nigeria since we have terrorism in Nigeria.

I never told you I support the coup, but Benin Republic should be allowed to resolve its political issues internally.

@OgbeniDemola It’s funny how Nigerians reacted to the attempt by Donald Trump to land US troops into a sovereign country Nigeria (to fight terrorist), but it’s Nigeria doing the same to a sovereign country.

@DeleOgunAuthor Wow, brilliantly said

Answers please 🙏

@chukzeegeorge @Richie_Ehdu Not at all, we’re performing very poorly. Look up metrics like maternal mortality, life expectancy, access to eletricity & clean water, literacy rate, human developmental index, doctors to patients ratio, GDP per capita, % of population under extreme poverty. It’s bad in Naija.

@Richie_Ehdu In Sub Saharan Africa, outside SA, we are doing ok.

Not Abuja, not even Lagos can lace the shoes of most African cities. Our giant of Africa’s title is tied to our strength in sexual reproduction.

@ogunrantimoses @NolaAngelMedlum @IfyAniebo @Nomns0 Do you have a better idea?

@NolaAngelMedlum @IfyAniebo @Nomns0 It doesn’t work like that. It messes the data up entirely and considering how sensitive this sort of venture is compared to google map rating, it’s not good for bad people to overhaul the system. Howbeit it’s still a great idea. Why are we not using Google places instead.

Nigeria needs a hospital rating system that assesses and compares hospital quality based on measures like mortality, safety, readmissions, patient experience, and care timeliness.

@DeleOgunAuthor 😮 wow these people smh

The Empire of Lies has been long in business

@DavidHundeyin @DavidHundeyin I’m sure you’re aware of Henry Kissinger’s NSSM 200 drafted in 1974. Which states Nigeria’s rising population as an America’s access to resources (oil, gas, minerals). He recommended deindustrializing Nigeria be any and all means possible.

@DavidHundeyin @DavidHundeyin what’s your take on this, Nigeria’s got a huge landmass, arable land, rivers, resources…. If we take the direction of self determination, self reliance, seek political & economic independence, what should we expect from the USA knowing Naija’s potential in Africa

When a country is led by people who understand its true place in the world, value its sovereignty, and explicitly acknowledge that it has powerful enemies, the country starts finding solutions for its problems and accomplishing stuff, even despite sanctions. When a country is led by people who have zero concept of sovereignty or independence, the only thing that country will achieve is having taxpayer money extracted from it to buy $2m Florida mansions for its public officials whose families live in the US instead of at home. The elite of that country will not boast about the things they have achieved in their country, but will rather boast about sending their children to study at Eton and Harrow, so that their names like 'Babafemi' and 'Ochuko,' can contradict their accents that sound like extras from 'The Only Way Is Essex.' That's why at current trajectory, Burkina Faso is going to become a more important country in the world than Nigeria, and one day Nigerians will literally need visas to go there. It's a projection based on data and history, not a prediction. Any country that values its sovereignty and builds itself around the idea of industrial capacity and sovereignty will inevitably become more powerful and relevant than any country whose only claim to fame is that it has money that it made from exporting cheap commodities - money which the majority of its population have never seen anything evidence of. Continue exporting your crude oil and looking down your nose at Red Beret Man in Ouagadougou, because that's what your oyibo friends told you to do. Continue parroting "democracy," "freedom of expression" and "atmosphere of fear" when talking about the Sahel instead of facing the real issues. Whenever you wake up will be your morning.
