Very soon all these western scientists will release a deadly disease or numerous tsetse fly that will target our kidneys. Brace up people. In the meantime please help your kidneys by not bleaching your skin.

What is the reason for this? Well, for decades, the common medical advice has been that high blood pressure, high blood sugar and lifestyle choices like high alcohol intake, smoking and taking toxic herbal medications and remedies are the major causes of kidney disease and kidney failure in Nigeria.




I agree with this

I agree with it too.

You sure say these people never add something join regular medications then begin speak grammar?

I don’t trust them one bit. The increase in kidney failure started in the last decade or so. How come our forefathers didn’t die from it .

Okay! Okay!! Ebola was from monkeys and the likes. Monkey and bushmeat still dey in abundance but Ebola has disappeared.

Kilode na?

Just saying my own sha. I am not a bio toxicologist.

That means everyone has to test for APOL gene? Like how people test for Huntington's gene to know if they will have the disease later on. Omo.

The same way a genetic mutation designed to protect black people from malaria resulted in the Hemoglobin S variant that gives rise to sickle cell anaemia and other hemoglobinopathies. Many disease conditions have a genetic base.

Nigerians are now immune to tsetse fly due to the current hardship.... our blood dey hot. any careless flying and they done turn food (Tsetse fly fry)
Re: Tsetse Fly And Genetic Cause Of Kidney Disease In Nigeria by DOTian: 3:54pm On Jul 07, 2022
Kidney failures, High Blood Pressure, Prostate cancer and Diabetes are all on the increase in this country and it's not just an issue of Tse Tse fly. It goes beyond that. I believe that something has penetrated the food chain here and is responsible for this. I suspect that this is deliberate..., and I wouldn't be surprised if some years from now, it's proven that certain foreign interests are responsible for this....

How was this research done and by who?
Re: Tsetse Fly And Genetic Cause Of Kidney Disease In Nigeria by abobote: 3:58pm On Jul 07, 2022
This report didn't add up, they need to do comprehensive research on this.

If actually tse-tse fly is one of the causes of kidney disease, we would have it more in the village and remote areas

A very good project topic

Imagine i saw this research when i was in final back then in Uniben.
I would embrace and scatter it in Seminar.

See Nigerian graduate. CAn't even read. It's not the fly that causes it, it's a gene that we Africans evolved to combat the bacteria from TseTes fly that causes it (according to the article) It is our defense mechanism against the bacteria that also somehow affects our Kidney. I would say it bears a similar resemblance to auto immune

I remember reading about this. Indeed it's similar. This could very well be the cause with rise in Kidney disease.

Maybe, maybe not. But there must be a study in our locality to really say for sure. I think although the genetic base is there quite alright, but other environmental factórs play a big big role.
