Fun fact no country that whites inhabit in great numbers bother testing genotype like we do in Naija.

Not even the so called AIDS-ridden SA.

Genotype is another scam being ran on on our psyche by white supremacist global system.

Sickle cell is most prevalent among blacks not whites. It's not a scam. Thankfully, there are better ways to manage it now including the changing of the blood or something like that. It's very expensive to treat. Both parents and the children go through a lot of trauma. In summary, prevention is better than cure.

OALandAgents:
This idiotic.
Genotype is the biggest scam being run on Africans to reduce chances of marriage to hopefully reduce population.

Almost nobody has sickle cell and I am pretty certain the disease is over-hyped like Ebola and COVID.

What a foolish thing to say. I have lost two siblings to sickle cell disease. Please stop this nonsense, you don’t know whom you may mislead into believing your foolishness.

Kvarachi:
Hmm.... I don't know what to say but I'll still say something.
This may sound funny and bizarre at the same time. I'm over 40, but since I was born till now I haven't gone for any test be it for diseases, genotype, blood group or whatever. Infact, simply put I don't know my blood group or genotype. But since that over 40yrs, I have never been sick to warrant going to hospital, infact I haven't gone to hospital except for when my first son was born and occasional going to visit someone.
.
In all this, I'm fit, healthy and strong. I have 3 lovely kids that are fit with no health issues at all. My last child and only daughter is 15 and healthy just like her elder brothers.
So whenever I hear this talk of genotype or blood group I just shook my head.
Let me add here that the lady who gave me the 3 kids and now in Europe married with kids, also didn't know her genotype or blood group and we never care to ask before we procreate our beautiful kids.

Congratulations! The fact that you're lucky doesn't mean others will be. Checking one's genotype is a reasonable thing to do in this age.

We've lost 2 children in the extended family due to sickle cell complications. Another is sill alive and doing well thankfully but we've learnt hard lessons.

I'm marveled at your ignorance at this age of global awareness of dangers of genotype incompatibility.

Both of them are foolish and mad so the useless guy do not know this before the wedding anyway is better then giving birth to children who will take all the money in the name of sickness

Why did he leave the check, till past the last minute........ This is one of the first things you MUST check.......

Hezzyluv:

.....On the other hand, them sopoz do the test before going this far.

This is exactly why I think the young man is not telling the world the whole truth. Good luck to both of them all the same.

Here america no body cares about genotype
You fall in love ona marry

Or is it because of the poor health care system in Nigeria?

You did the right thing better to prevent your unborn children to live a better life, than to bring them to suffer and wast of money. Madam please move on .

You don't know they check.

ireke:


Absolutely true. They are both irresponsible. They should even do it as soon as they start thinking about having unprotected sex, not to talk of when they start having thoughts about marriage.

Maybe the man just delayed sha so that he can officially chop the woman small before using running away.

Lol 😆 🤣

I never wish anybody to experience the sorrow behind sickle cell patient.
I lost my three siblings in 5yrs

You don't know they check.

you wan start another ignorant argument again

Oga abeg shift

Hezzyluv:
Good for both of them.

Because, the pains awaiting them if they eventually give birth to sickle cell child maybe traumatizing. It surpasses the brief one they will pass through now.

On the other hand, them sopoz do the test before going this far.

Abi ooo.Their church is not well organized. Or peradventure they are so carried away by fascination and lust.

Shut the fckk up you fool

sreamsense:
Which kind irresponsible man is this? This is the step he supposed to take before wedding, but allowed love to cover his eyes. After he had slept with the lady for month to increase her body count, he now realized they are not compatible.

Even God is not happy with things like this, it is an act of deception on the part of man than the woman. Once married, it should be his cross to carry. After sexually abused her, he is now looking for another man to carry his left over. What a wicked man? Only God knows the mind of a man, there may be other things the man doesn't want about her again, but hiding behind genotype to cover face and does right thing at wrong time.

Man has better chances of getting another woman faster (because people don't look at man body count like that of a woman) than a woman getting man. For better for worse, now the man sees small worse, he ran. So far you failed to do the needful before marriage, it should be his cross to carry

Which kind brain una get to understand say na two people dey for marriage and not the man. What is all these crazy view of zero responsibility and accountability on the side of the woman? Who told you the man slept with the woman and the woman didn't sleep with the man? What sort of nonsense did I just read?

Both are foolish individuals. In this age and time you mean you went all the way without a asking what your each person's genotype was! Haba! This foolishness cuts across close family members who are close enough to ask these questions, and the church that counselled them without proper due diligence. Imagine the waste of emotional investment, financial and time wasted.

You can say that again (talking about luck).
And that luck has continue with my kids, they too haven't made me spend anything on hospital. But I really get your point that not everybody are lucky and I don't downplay anyone knowing his or her genotype.
.
And also, sorry about your loss

FameGlory:
I fell for them. They still love each other.

But Sickle Cell (SS) can be cured now.

Or is it that people don't know?

This is 2024.

We lost our church instrumentalists this year to this, only son, rich parents, spared nothing on him, just for him to sleep and he was gone
Pls this is a big risk thing

GravityDefier:
No s*X before marriage and when the guy finally do marriage come enter, he discovered river Jordan, he had to flee using genotype. Sharp guy

Stop running from sense, what dumb parents, cleric didnt ask for genotype test, didn't the lady go to school too

Pack one side abeg
I believe you meant to ask about **sickle cell syndrome** (or **sickle cell disease**). In the United States, approximately **100,000 people** are affected by sickle cell disease.

It is a genetic condition that primarily affects African Americans, with about 1 in 365 Black or African American babies being born with the condition. Additionally, 1 in 13 African Americans carries the sickle cell trait, which means they are carriers but do not have the full disease. Other populations, such as those of Hispanic, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian descent, are also affected at lower rates.

So you don't know you will do your needful before planning for marriage.

Do your research properly before you yarn dust.

AS genetic issues is prominent with African ancestry and there's a reason for that. (A strong resistance force against malaria)

African man can say Covid-19 was a scam because the disease has extremely low effects on those with African ancestry... Can a Caucasian say same thing?

You never see anything you can put it on trial if you're single or go to any fmc and state general hospital in your state meet mothers who nurses ss kids they will explain better

People get married every day ... world wide. My question to readers ... name another country where genotype test is done before marriage. To you with friends abroad ... ask your non Nigerian friends their genotype and I can guarantee nine out of ten dollars not know ... never tested. Ask your grand parents their genotype... I'm almost sure they don't either. So when did this madness begin? ... who started it? ..and why are we following it blindly?

There is money to be made abundantly through fear and ignorance.

That is the first red-flag that should tell you a disease is a being used to scam us, When it only affects blacks and not whites.
