Looks like the Nigerian government will have to spend quite a bit of money to address this problem.
Modern antivirals can halt the spread of this disease.
From your article:
Quote:
This is even as Nigeria is reportedly the country with the second largest number of persons living with the infection totaling 1.9 million according to the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, NACA.
Nigeria's population exceeds 200 million people. So, using the number of people infected provided by the article you posted alone, that's an infection rate of less than 1%.
I will add that the article--outside of the wild headline--is actually more nuanced, and notes that "41 percent of persons from Lagos, Kaduna, Akwa Ibom, Benue, Oyo and Kano states in Nigeria are now living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV." But we know that this is also hogwash, as Lagos State, alone, has close to 20 million people; based on the 1.9 million people living with HIV in Nigeria we see how it's impossible even for 41% of people in those selected states to have HIV.
This is an extremely inaccurate thread based off of an extremely inaccurate, poorly researched and reasoned article.

Load of bs. Nigerias population is booming actually fastest growing in the world and one of the main reasons africans will be the majority population in the next 40 years.
