@brianbobc How do you interrupt it after you have digested contaminated water?

@hemantsv @fahey_davi37740 @anishmoonka I was pointing out that stopping transmission paths is why vaccines are so effective. The key to eradicating the Guinea worm was interrupting the transmission paths which are vital to the worm’s lifecycle.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page. It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection. Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do. Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades. The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water. It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left. The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero. When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

@TipsterSure If you’re that high, why not go and sleep, instead of trying to have sex with someone you said doesn’t remember who you are. One person was incoherent, the less incoherent one still slept with her. You’re defending nonsense

@NoobLapras @igboonaija3 He said in his quote "I have never been that high" what does this quote imply?

If you are drunk, I have access to your phone where your bank app is ...I ask you in your drunken state, to give me your pin so I can transfer money and you say yes....is that consent to take the money? will that be apprioriate...Lawmakers are smart to criminalize this Stop dragging this.... @Lagosdsva take care of this rapist boy

@elnathan_john My friend never completed his CS degree. But he went ahead practicing and building stuff. He got his first big paid international job the same year he dropped out and has gone to work in other big companies still without a CS degree. Maybe you let the degree define you.

I often wake up wishing I completed my Computer Science degree many years ago. I got admission in my first year of Computer Science to study law. And I just dropped it all and left. These days I wonder so much how different my life would have been if I finished the CS degree instead. And I really enjoyed doing it.

@CorrectEmmanuel He’s actually not lying. I read the tomato paste woman’s post on facebook before the drama started and even Facebook people were calling her out for saying it’s killing people. And then she was arrested and it became a difference case and people made her the victim

@sherrymoney16 @Tolucomms @AishaYesufu Stop! You are too handsome to lie

Hello guys. Please I'm looking for the direct contact of that bread lady. I am making a public advocacy call, and especially putting the FCCPC and NADFAC on the line: We don't want another tomato paste situation on our hands where a consumer is bullied for a review.

@seeroyalty Lmao it’s actually copied from a Chinese movie and this plot is very popular among their short movies

@ejykmykel1 Nollywood and African storyline... 😂😂

Chéátng wife begged her identical twin sister to take her place in her husband's house while she sekretly went on vacation with her boyfriend, but something unexpected happened.

@phantom_wav He didn’t say ´ALL’. You no sabi wetin generalization be na just to dey vex you sabi. No go wash your boxers

@UnkleAyo Stop generalizing make God no punish you abeg

Na me go kill una today.

@Billions1430 That’s pure thef. Nothing might have happened to you but there is a God in heaven that remembers and will one day avenge

Bro @biggestposh I have received 3 million like this four years ago. I simply remove that SIM card and chop the whole money. Till today nothing nothing 😂 I didn't wait to know weda call come or not. I miss such money 😭

@aschwags3 I’m struggling to frame it % I need to lock into a title. I’ve little work experiences everywhere that doesn’t make much sense. Tech support, UI/UX, 2-time entrepreneur, business analyst, chem engineering, AI, I even have a cyber security cert. I’m drowning in decision paralysis

@Czrelease I actually think that’s a superpower if you frame it right. The best operators I know are generalists who know when to go deep and when to connect dots.

I never thought I’d be agreeing with career advice from Reese Witherspoon. She’s right. This is the single most important question you’ll get in an interview: “What are you talented at?” The candidates who stutter or pause don't know where their edge is yet. Figure out where your talents lie, and find the place you can keep doing it.

@jeremiahajayi_ How is this going for you? I’m literally same and I don’t always enjoy not being anywhere. I have a very very hard time trying to just pick one. And I believe I’ll grow faster if I can actually decide on one and not having 10 unrelated work experiences

I visualized all I’ve done in the last 8 years and whewwww. I’m proof that you really can just do things. I’ve tried my best. I’ll keep trying.

@the_popemichael Congratulations! Up when I grow, be like you I want

Yeah, something along that line of black excellence.

@Agu_Obinna4 Give AI a prompt like this

@D_icsbadman @DrVoltss I've a picture I would like brightened up like this

A friend sent this to me, and no I’m not in the green circle. Actually the guy in the green circle is a priest now 😂😂. I’m in the picture though😂😂

@EbukaEnechukwu So because her hair is not long she should shave off the small one she has? That’s even a bigger reason to not shave it because it takes a long time to grow. You can as well tell her to break her legs if she has to play a disability role mtcheew

@DJydra @BlueGoalBlaze @arrakunrin @Literarilybaby You know what I mean, but run with your agenda, her hair is not so long that she cant cut, heck in 6-7 months plus it should grow back to its original length, with good conditioning that was what I meant, she's not white or Asian where you'd say the hair was too long to let go of

This is why I’d never really rate nollywood. There aren’t a lot of actors who are dedicated to their craft. Or maybe there are but producers just want pretty models who fit the “Lekkifization of Nollywood” Charlize Theron gained 50 pounds to play a fat struggling mother in TULLY Christian Bale lost 65 pounds to play the machinist and quickly had to gain 95 pounds to play Batman begins Joaquin Phoenix and Mathew McConaughey both lost weight dramatically to play The Joker and Dallas Buyers Club respectively Natalie Portman shaved her head for V for Vendetta. Look at the rubbish that one did to pass as a bald woman. God in heaven!

@darth_kabowei “He was a generous giver” and also a generous taker. His regime was know for land grabbing, he and his family members will take anyone’s land and won’t pay compensation for it. So Nigeria didn’t happen to him

@Mayoveli @Abib_07 He’s a Nigerian and Nigeria happened to him. He’s still a generous giver and one of the few people who really focused on the less privileged when nobody cared. He has his faults but the Man was consistent for too many years to not give him his props also.

Lmao, folks who are much younger than me and only know Rochas from his time as Imo governor probably won’t believe it, but Rochas has always been this way. I remember he did a lot of charity work, and it didn’t end with just donations, he personally taught and cared for those kids and took it very seriously. At the time, he initially wanted to be president. I used to look up to him in those days, until he became governor and made a mess of himself. 😂

@MLTRiichiie @SirJarus Million?

Those guys are on another level. They move so codedly. They are on Twitter here. They won't join us in discussing all this salary matter, all these working conditions matters. Some don't even have their current workplace on their LinkedIn profile. The few that are active here don't give any clue to where they work. It's a conservative industry. They ball codedly. The opposite of tech!

@0x_Kachi Which fmc did you go to please?

@Queenie4G Yes ma'am, he's better now, they eventually did give him the anti-venom,

We are cure tly at FMC right now, From the looks of it, seems they have anti venom, because they said they'll examine him to see if he needs it.

@Manny_Medici But rape has always been a crime. Mostly because women were seen and expected to be virtuous. So forcefully taking that away from a woman will lead to you being stoned to death either by the community or her family will demand your blood. Rape was never a culture

@GeoDejurist @RasineIrem In the olden days cultures killed twins Performed human sacrifice Some were cannibalistic

The reason why the sights from Ozoro inflame our sensibilities is because we have adopted foreign sensibilities. For the people of Ozoro, that is what their ancestors made them become, that’s what the gods they worship demand. This is possibly coming to light just now because of mobile phones but make no mistake, this is our culture. We find it repulsive because we have adopted a foreign culture that frowns upon taking advantage of the vulnerable and defenceless amongst us. This is not peculiar to African civilisation, human beings have always historically taken advantage of the vulnerable and defenceless if doing so was going to be gratifying. From the barbarians of the ancient western world to the Ozoro men of 2026. The one thing all humans inherited from mitochondrial Eve was that disposition to seek self preservation. It is only the gospel of Jesus Christ that teaches people to defend the vulnerable to the denying of oneself. That gospel has been largely responsible for western civilisation as we know it today, it is that civilisation that has influenced many of the English speaking world. It is that gospel that has formed what is now being fronted as equality. Secularism cannot defend the equity it seek to project because there’s no basis for its grounding. There’s no reason for anyone to protect the vulnerable when they’re not benefiting from it except like the gospel teaches they do it because it is what a good God who is the judge of the quick and the dead commands. The men and women of Ozoro need the gospel.

@AdekolaJoy4 True. She probably didn’t do her findings

@Mojuwonloo I thought BCS is no longer issuing certificate for now after this April.

BSc holders looking to boost their CRS scores for Express Entry—this is for you! 🇨🇦

@OG_logistics_ Not true at all. My entire secondary school was made of bricks. I believe the only down side is that it can get very hot, other than that, it’s very durable, has never even changed in the over 30 years of that school and looks good every single time. Also no case of termites

@YoSoyAlexJ @shavnyuy I heard it need to be changed in a couple of years and if errors were made in the building you would have a termite and and problem.

If we used our local materials correctly, apartments would look this good. Brick architecture is so underrated… not because it can’t compete, but because people have been conditioned to see local materials as inferior.
