Certain ethnic groups exhibit natural immunity tendencies to specific pathogens/diseases. Probably just due to specific genetic factors unique to them. |

Yorubas have more or less 80% genetic makeup as the rest of the other Nigerian ethnic groups hence we all should at least be immune. Right? |

scholes0: Err, if it's based on haplotype - then Fulanis should also be immune to the virus. Yorubas and Fulanis have a lot in common based on haplotype. Anyway, it's very plausible. Most Nigerians don't even know that the genetic make-up of all the groups in the country aren't the same and the occurrence of certain haplotype in the different groups varies. Yorubas for example have more in common genetically with the Bamilekes of Cameroon, Tutsis of Rwanda, Mandinka all over West Africa, Fante/Ga/Ewe folks of Ghana etc. than 99% of all the other ethnic groups in Nigeria. While Igbos for example genetically have more in common with a lot of groups in East/Central Africa than Nigeria. Ditto Hausas and the Sahel region of Africa. Etc. Just cos folks have the same phenotype, that doesn't mean that they're genetically the same, though they're all from a larger tree that branched out into different things. There are certain people, especially in East Africa, that are naturally immune to HIV. Regardless, since it's a Nigerian professor (not dissing the guy) who discovered this - I don't think I'll take it seriously. But there's nothing bad in doing further research on the hypothesis. 3 Likes 1 Share |

restored2016: Lmao! Please it is poverty and illiiteracy that is affecting that mama. There hasnt even been much awareness on this lassa fever like there was for ebola. There were ebola signboards everywhere, for pple who didnt have access to tv and media. I think the former minister of health did a fantastic job while this current minister of health is just clueless. |
