She said that her worry is stemmed from the fact that the Nigerians are predisposed to touching the bodies of their loved ones during the funeral rites.
"I am telling the Federal government, any Nigerian that dies here, bury him because all of them are coming home with TB and HIV and our people do not have the capacity to deal with it"she saidAlso speaking, the Secretary-General of the Nigerian Medical Forum in South Africa, Dr. Emeka Ugwu, said
“I am in the know that in South Africa one of the leading causes of death is tuberculosis and HIV/Aids. So it will not be far-fetched to deduce from this that some Nigerians who are dying here may also have that statistics. Care needs to be taken from the health perspective, any dead body or any of such things could have serious health implication on the community and it could be transferred from one person to the other. If a dead body moves from here to Nigeria, it needs to be properly handled according to stipulated World Health Organisation objectives.”he said

Reporting LIVE from Mars.
U wish
Madame, pls do ur research before trying to pass false info to ppl.
My thought exactly,this woman no filter the statements at all,u don't get TB n HIV by touching na choi
Seriously! I was reading this and wondering if there is something about HIV which my teachers must have been hiding from me all these years.
Touching dead bodies is now a way of contacting HIV?
Please what brand of vodka did they serve during the said meeting???
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
What is the possibility of contracting these diseases from a dead body,madam u go school ne?
Kk noted
What has prayer got to do with commonsense in handling corpses in this matter. Naija and prayers. Commonsense seems to have gone out the window. Continue praying and touching ppl with tuberculosis rhn. Don't worry when you catch it. Pray. Dumbasses.
I swear I was thinking the same thing. What sort of rubbish advice is dat. Just adding fuel to the jib stigma. I work with HIV patients daily and I know you can't contract HIV simply by handling dem...not too particular about TB however so can't say. But common madam minister. You cannot contract hiv simply by handling the bodies. Wat a ridiculous advice. Mchew
She is absolutely right.
Watched the news yesterday...think the woman is high on something cos the way she was turning her head get as e bi... contracting HIV and TB by touching dead bodies?
Seyiliciois

Stern u dis I never chop..how u wan date better babe..mumu "shey u don bath?
Lol..
Plz When deady body start to carry HIV!?.. I Thought when you're dead, the virus dies with u.. Abeg my biology teacher it's like u didn't teach me this subject very well..
It is not the HIV virus. The virus weakens the immune system that's all. It's the opportunistic diseases or TB that comes along if those living with the virus can contact that is to be avoided.
Magic Johnson is one celebrity living positively with the virus for many years. People still interact with him.
I taya o. It's ebola that has these issues even after death.
Me too. This woman is really high. Hahahahahahahahahah
Contact with the dead body is more of a transmission mode of the MRD tb. It's the severest form of tb with no known cure because of mutation of the bacteria over time to become high restance to the regular known tb therapy. Just so you know, your child hood BCG does not confer immunity to that infection and it is highly infectious with a high case mortality rate. Think about it like ebola so that our public health policies that worked to descalate ebola can be deployed in this situatuon
God help us

Comment frm ROYAL PRIESTHOOD (royalpriesthood007@gmail.com)
HIV/Aids, the virus that the whites allegedly created to wipe off the black race especially in places like US and SA where they wished to take control of. Pls check the statistics of the race mostly affected by this disease
Yes u can by being exposed to body fluids from the corpse
Hahahahahahaha too bad, I was told someone spreads this hiv each year in naija each time he comes back from the USA. Be careful ladies.....
South Africa has been leading cause in sa since 1857 nawa ooh its well.

Madam talking without thinking.
She is so daft-disease are more contagious through blood contact; sexually not by touching dead bodies. Olodo
What else can you say apart from repeat one line ten thousand times. Na money you want to win abi? OK we don see you
Am ashamed of my country dt such ignorant duallard can held such post and some scientific terrible drs are listening to her without correcting her ma'am pls go and read abt HIV,Tb, their diagnosis, signs n symptoms, management, treatment n prognosis. The last time I check both ailment are not airborne disease, Tb have permanent cure of 3months regime, HIV has a lifetime mgt with the carrier living very healthy, If u must knw HIV is better than Diabetes cos in HIV u eat everything u want unlike in Hbp, Diabetes u r place on therapeutic meals. Shame on my country truly is a zoo animal kingdom
This woman should be sacked.
Such stupidity in high places.
