Abalaka and his Wayo AIDS Vaccine


Aids patients in BiafraNigeria have denounced the widely publicized claims of a northern doctor, who says he has found a vaccine and a cure for the HIV virus. Is it not time to stop this northern witch doctor? I hope there are no Biafrans among Abalaka's victims. How long can we tolerate this cure-by-propaganda.

When you have a bankrupt Government run by Buffons and ocemorons that is what you get. Everybody in Nigeria from Obasanjo to Ojo maduekwe are busy stuffing their mouth and stomach with oil money from Niger delta. No body cares whether the citizen of that space called Nigeria live or die.

Abacha and Babangida Government is turning out to better than Obusonjo Governement. The biggest fraud Obasanjo perpetrated on Biafra and Nigeria people was his phony Statement about fighting curruption. How can obasanjo be fight corruption when his wives and children are busy using Nigeria Oil licenses to enrich their pocket.

Obasanjo had a medical doctor as Minister for health Dr Tim Menakaya what did he do because Dr Menakaya didn't want be his errand boy Obasanjo dropped him. Obasanjo can never appoint Minister who have the guts to tell him what he need to hear, he will rather surround himself with Ministers who tells him what he likes to hear. Today the Senate approved new aircraft for olisiego Obusonju while Biafrans & Nigerians are dieing everyday.

I always suspected that that so-called vaccine was a hoax. Someone needs to bring criminal charges against that Abalaka fellow for perpetrating this fraud. Only in BiafraNigeria.

Abalaka, I knew that name was not Biafran and the vacine not Biafran made. However; I took my hat off for him trying to measure with the Biafran God given monstrosity and ingenuity. That is Biafran spirit. I later discovered he stole some of the formula from another Doctor and that makes him a quack and of course a voodoo doctor.
I was told most of his patients are northern promiscuous and sexually overdrive soldiers. Nigerian statistics has showned that homosexuality and aids is prevelent in the North and Lagos partly because of the Islamic satanic laws that outlaws everything about sex. Human beings when boxed and restricted tend to over indulge in consumate immoral conduct without being regulated. Very simply, they tend to rebel against laws that restrict their freedom [Sharia]. Any questions why you have so much aids in the North? Well, Lagos is as a result of urban jungle, dirt and gutter environment.
Abalaka medicine would be authentic when Biafran scientist has done series of experiments to determine it's authenticity, otherwise he remains a capitalist medical quack and a fraud tribute to his parasitic race.

People it doesn't matter where this fool named Abalaka is from., If he is kill innocent people or using them as guinea pigs the quack doctor should be stopped before he caused more damages. Please let speak out regardless of where this stupid Doctor is from. We have to stop him because the people he is killing are probably the most poor and helpless in our society.

Brother Onyemaechi,
Your brother is here. I believe, brother "Muda Kaduna" said it best, when he said:

quote:

People it doesn't matter where this fool named Abalaka is from., If he is kill innocent people or using them as guinea pigs the quack doctor should be stopped before he caused more damages. Please let speak out regardless of where this stupid Doctor is from. We have to stop him because the people he is killing are probably the most poor and helpless in our society.

This is what a Brother "Nagodi", a Northern Colleague, practicing in Kaduna said about Dr. Abalaka, on nigeriaworld thread, on "HIV Vaccine":

quote:

...Dr Abalaka's claim of producing a "curative and preventative vaccine" is just that: A CLAIM. It has not and is not being verified by any credible organisation anywhere in the world. The manner Dr Abalaka recruited his patients leaves a lot to be desired. It smacks of exploitation of the desperately ill Nigerians who would do anything to get a cure. Being a physician who sees a lot of patients with HIV, I am yet to come across anybody who has actually been cured by Dr Abalaka and you know Kaduna is just 200 km away from Abuja, his base.

There is a serious credibility problem for Dr Abalaka. He has been given numerous opportunities to present his work at various international conferences for AIDS but he has declined the offers. What's he afraid of? I have read a paper posted on his website (www.abalaka.com) which he claimed he submitted to a western medical journal for publication which was summarily rejected without any explainations. And he was even surprised that it was returned! The paper was poorly written: Te methodology was very fuzzy and difficult to follow and didn't contain anything that can be independently verified...


He is RIGHT on the money!!!

What can one say anymore? This cancer of lies and deceits has become so malignant that, it has littered in our Communities, with metastases to our spiritual and temporal lords, our political leaders (including all our three branches of government), et al. But, when the MOST respected human endeavour is infiltrated with dishonest men and women, the likes of Dr. Abalaka, I become, constantly, reminded of what I once wrote on the "Pfizer Trials in Kaduna" on nigeriaworld.com


quote:

My Siblings,
I need to add a little bit to what my esteemed colleague, brother Orems, has posted. It is a sad day for the field of Medicine. Sadly, this sad guinea-pig experiment is NOT the FIRST, nor will it be the LAST involving physicians. It is neither restricted to the Black Race, nor specifically, Africa. It is everywhere. It is a result of the GREED and SELFISHNESS and desire to win at ALL COST that has made a mockery out of a profession that is supposed to be deemed as "next to God". Let me take you a bit on a medical journey:
The first written history of Medicine was found in ancient Egypt. It was written by the late Egyptian, Edwin Smith Papyrus. Written at about 1600 B.C., it considered fields such as Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Veterinary Problems. These, ofcourse, were followed by the Babylonians (Here, severe penalties, including death were prescribed to Surgeons, in the "Code of Hammurabi".), Indian, Chinese, and Greeks.
All these had ONE thing in common: FIRST DO NO HARM! But, over the years, such has been abandoned by some Physicians. Maybe, the study of "Medical Ethics" (in medical schools)has no relevance any longer.

HIPPOCRATES, the so-called "father" of Modern Medicine, born on the island of Cos, in the Aegian Sea, about 460 B.C., a prolific writer himself, gave us lots to immortalize him. None of his writings has ever been quoted as his Oath. For the interest of non-medical folks on the Board, I will reproduce it here:

THE OATH OF HIPPOCRATES: (Capitalized words are mine)


I swear by Apollo, the physician and Aesculapius, and health and all-heal and all the gods and goddesses that, according to my ability and judgement, I will keep this oath and this stipulation -
to reckon him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him and to relieve his necessities if required, to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my brothers and to teach them this art if they shall wish it without fee or stipulation, and that by precept, lecture and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the art to my own sons and those of my teachers, and to the disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others.

I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgement, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and ABSTAIN FROM WHATEVER IS DELETERIOUS AND MISCHIEVOUS.
I WILL GIVE NO DEADLY MEDICINE TO ANYONE IF ASKED, NOR SUGGEST ANY SUCH COUNSEL, and in like manner, I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness, I will pass my life and practice my art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work.

Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them with the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption, and further, from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves.

Whatever, in connection with my professional practice, or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge as reckoning that all such should be kept secret.

While I continue to keep this oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times. But, should I trespass and violate this oath, may the reverse be my lot.


Hippocrates, ofcourse, died in 377 B.C., that is, ofcourse, before "Christianity" started! Some of us born in the "A.D." years (including yours truly) have violated almost ALL of this oath, most of us often swear to, before receiving our Diplomas. The truth of the matter is, few ever repeat these oath. Most of us want to get out of the warm robes and have some drinks and final hugs with our classmates, before driving into the sunset of forever-challenging residencies and life. Sad, isn't it?

Did you know that series of atrocities were committed on the Jews in Germany, by Physicians during the Hitler wars? Did you know that many Nigerian Physicians are in Jails or suspended because they raped or battered their patients? Do you know why there is ALWAYS a female Nurse in the Pelvic Exam Rooms? Would we ever know, if "AIDS and HIV" was NOT a drug test gone mad, in Central Africa? The last may be a reach, but how can we be sure?

We can blame "Pfizer" as much as we want. As the famous rat once said, "I don't blame my killer but the one who showed them my escape route." Same is true here. Nigerian Physicians okayed these treatments. Whether it was for money, or others, their "lot" will come someday. They violated the cardinal rule of medicine, "FIRST DO NO HARM", and if God is alive and in control of lives and their practices, the days for their "lot" will come.


The SAME LOT will befall ANY who uses "WAYO AIDS Vaccine" to kill our HIV-infected and, already suffering Siblings. It's a matter of time. God doesn't sleep! Or does He? Let us wait and see!

That your drivel was unecessary, ill-conceived and detracts from powerful words laced with wisdom that always come from thoughtful and intelligent Biafrans like Ojukwu. I do not want to be engaged in any form of diatribe but I think apology is in order for millions of men and women, afflicted with AIDS especially patients of Dr Abalaka. Have you ever thought that AIDS could be contacted from many ways that do not involve sexual intercourse?

Many Nigeria women are raped, many are coerced and intimidated into having sex everyday including in Igbo land and a whole lot of them have to put up with philanderers and potential HIV/AIDS cases as husbands.

I think the cause of Biafra would be served better if proponents of Biafra should start displaying attitudes that are considerate, humane and unlike whatever we think that is bad with Nigeria project. Insha Allah, I hope this is viewed as a constructive criticism.

Brother COLO:
Thanks for the thorough and detailed response. Because of people like you, I was thinking of coming to Atlanta for the conference. But, when I think of dishonest people like Big Steve who betray the confidences of forum members, I decided that I had better things to do with my time.

I will re-read your post, and if necessary, I will come back with more comments. Why is Orems not contributing in this forum? Does he think he is too Yoruba to join us? That's ok.


EL-Godage:
Welcome to BiafraNigeriaWorld, where all viewpoints are welcome. I will wait for Waypoint1Biafra's answer to you before I say more. No need to expect your views to be misconstrued.

Onyemaechi

Thank you brother, I completely agree with you on the Atlanta project, If it were left to people like brother Colo I will be in Atlanta for the conference. Then when I think of People like Big Steve who betrayed the confidence people placed on him I get worried. Then I start to think that there will be no room for Biafrans like me to speak at the conference. For all intent and purpose Big Steve may use the opportunity to forward our names to Obasanjo and his secret agents not that I care.

I will probably come with my Biafran Flag and sweat jacket. Brother I Colo I have to also concur with Onyemaechi, and commend you for the well articulate essay you wrote above regarding that butcher Dr Called Abalaka.

Guys,

If you want to go to Atlanta, do go. Why not be there because of COLO and men like him if you have problems with Big Steve. By the way, what did Big Steve do that I missed?

The last couple of days has been hectic. Colo made a good post. Love the history of the Hippocratic oath.

Fellows:
Certain things are mean, and we should call a spade not by any other name. The idea that Big Steve who does not belong to this forum is being attacked is despicable. I think it is high time some grow up and be men. Atlanta is not about Big Steve, but about Nigeria. It is sickening to read constant reference to him. I read about Atlanta in the other board. Big Steve is a giant, and I do not see why 'adults' are bahaving like kindergarten.

Osita Chuba:

Your post is nonsensical. When the Atlanta project was introduced, Big Steve implored members of the forum, such as you, who may be using pen names or pseudonyms (and I believe that "Osita Chuba" is a pen name) to give him their real names. Many Igbo members of the forum trusted Big Steve and complied. They wanted Atlanta to be a success. Even "Biafra" and Egwuatu were going to come to Atlanta.

Unless you are too dense to understand posts at Nigeriaworld, you should know that Big Steve has been revealing information, including the identities of those members who trusted him and freely gave him information about themselves. Moreover, Big Steve himself has freely admitted that he is aware of this forum. So, unless you are his attorney or agent, you have absolutely no business coming here to speak for him. You are not good enough to speak on behalf of Big Steve. Big Steve knows what he has done. He knows about this forum. He now knows why any proud Igbo son or daughter would be extremely reluctant to go to Atlanta. Best of all, at Nigeriaworld, Big Steve engages in attacks against members of this forum, including yours truly, who are NOT members of Nigeriaworld. Therefore, since you remained cowardly silent while Big Steve engaged in those attacks, it is criminal for you to now come here to defend your "giant."

Besides, as far as I am concerned the owner of Nigeriaworld might as well add a hot-button to this Message Board , because I know that nearly every member of Nigeriaworld is also a regular visitor to this site. When we write in this forum we know that members of Nigeriaworld are reading what we write.

Your post also is nonsensical. I am not aware that Big Steve attacks members of this forum. I am also not aware that he has revealed information given to him to others. Your attack on him is just out of place. I am positive that he is aware of this forum, and I am not his attorney, but we all should face the issue of discussing Nigeria.

For your infomation, Osita Chuba is not a pen name. I read all you and Big Steve went through in the old board. He even went ahead to apologise for some factual errors made about your person. Your coming here to write about him shows the type of individual that you are. Look ahead and dont be haunted, this is my advice. It was the same Big Steve and Emeka Amanze that staked their heads out during Okigwe, using their money and time. That is why I say he is a GIANT. You may not see it this way. He is an Igbo and I am proud of this.

"I read all you and Big Steve went through in the old board. He even went ahead to apologise for some factual errors made about your person." --- Chuba

Chuba:

From whence did those "factual errors" stem? Was it not from the abuse of privleged information? When Orems or Kunle give you confidential information and you deliberately reveal that information because you believe it is Damians's, do we not impute to you liability for the abuse?

Emeka Amanze is a colleague whom I have come to know and respect in the past several months. I have no doubt that if he knew then what he now knows about your "giant," he would never have staked his name in any project in which Big Steve was involved. If you failed to read where Big Steve continued to attack me even after I was no longer a member of Nigeriaworld, that is your blindness. But, I will freely respond in this forum to anything that I feel deserves a response. Anyone who feels I have said anything incorrect or inappropriate is welcome to join the forum and respond to me. There is no censorship here. The same goes for Big Steve.

You are an attorney. Your imputations may be wrong. Speculations do not show validity. I am not going to deviate from my earlier assertion that Big Steve should not be the topic of this discussion. I will, therefore, not go into the out-of-context statements made by you above. It is important to grow up.

Let us discuss Abalaka's Wayo. This thread has nothing to do with Big Steve. Talking about him only supports the GIANT stature! Your impressions about anybody are not relevant. Let each one form his/her opinion.

Damian, Chuba, and Ednut:

None of you have said anything worthwhile about the topic of this thread. All you have done is write about Emeka Amanze and Big Steve. Don't you care that that Abalaka quack is killing BiafraNigerians?

Chuba:
You are increasingly coming across as an agent of destruction. I believe that you are the same Chuba at Nigeriaworld, even though you deny it. You seem to be engaging in a rather petty and childish continuation of your fights with Damian at Nigeriaworld. Why don't you fess up? You have not been very effective in masking your style.

It is no secret that Steve at Nigeriaworld was confusing information that Orems or Kunle gave him. He publicly used that information in an abusive manner when he had a dispute with Damian. That is not the mark of a giant. That is the mark of an untrustworthy coward.

Brother Onyemaechi, Biafra, et al
Thank you for the compliments. Hopefully, brother Orems would join us, soonest. He is a GREAT Nigerian, without a trace of ethnicity in his writings. Many like him exist in Yorubaland, and other places, including here, on the Board. Let us attempt to shy away from blatant generalisations, and viciously attack the CULPRITS, when necessary. We all have some sensitivity inside our inner SOULS.


My Siblings,
Kindly permit me to agree with brother Onyemaechi, when he said this, in part:

quote:

Damian, Chuba, and Ednut:
None of you have said anything worthwhile about the topic of this thread. All you have done is write about Emeka Amanze and Big Steve. Don't you care that that Abalaka quack is killing BiafraNigerians?

I agree. However, I hope he would indulge one more time, as I would wish to digress a bit, to hopefully, clarify some points, between some of my very beloved siblings.

It is my belief that brothers Damian and "Big Steve" are GIANTS, not only as super-intelligent Igbo brothers, but as humans, in ANY place, on this planet Earth. I am so happy to that they are (and always will be) MY SIBLINGS. So are ALL of you. It is because of the likes of you, that I am TALLER today, as a Nigerian, in a Foreign Land.

The simple truth is that, sometimes, brothers may agree to disagree. That, psychologically, medically, historically, et al., is very acceptable and normal. In the end, it is their diverging opinions that make them whole.

INFORMATION DISCLOSURES BY BIG STEVE:
I was there on the Nigeriaworld Board when everything took place. It was brother "Wind", whom on a thread with brother "Orems", wrote that he went to the University of Ilorin. As a proud alumnus of same, brother Orems went on to list, on the web, some of his fellow university alumni, who were members of the Nigeriaworld Messageboard, including brother Kunle, et al.

When there was a brotherly misunderstanding, which, yours truly, have had several, both on Nigeriaworld and this beautiful BiafraNigeriaworld Messageboards, brother Big Steve mis-represented the above facts, to brother Damian's frustration, disappointment and probable pain. Clarification was subsequently given by brother Wind, as I have stated and known, above, as well as a be-lated apology from brother "Big Steve" to Damian. The exchages were war-room like and heated. It was ironic, because, prior both had complimented and respected each other on another thread, about disclosure of names, following their exchage of emails and probable resumes. But, that is brotherly endeavors, afterall. He, who doesn't have a brother, whom he fights with, occasionally, should be free to cast the first stones!

Maybe, brother "Big Steve" did not apologise enough; maybe his apology was not timely; but the fact remains that brother "Big Steve" couldn't have divulged a fact that never was there. Brother Damian has NEVER attended University of Ilorin. It was brother Wind, who did.

I cannot pretend to know what goes on in the private lives or minds of my brothers, including Damian, Egwuatu, Big Steve, Keshi, Wind, Amanze, IG Nwafor, Biafra, Ednut, Rudolf, Le Figaro, Sunny Azubuike, Onyemaechi, Onyeocha, Odili and numerous wonderful Igbo Siblings, whom I have, happily, come to meet, know, love, respect and treasure. I cannot say, for certain, what information who has, either. But, like the biblical Blind Man, who was given sight, by Jesus, I can tell ALL of you this much:

ALL OF YOU have been ADVOCATES and DEFENDERS OF BETTER IGBO and NIGERIAN CAUSES, at one point or the other, in an effort to re-direct this drowning ship, called Nigeria, ashore. That made ALL of you my wonderful siblings, who are greatly loved. Sadly, some of you suffered the misfortune(s) for your stand(s), including becoming casualties on Nigeriaworld Messageboard, which I, personally, do not agree with our Boardmaster (and wrote to him about it, too). Like adults, we agreed to disagree.

None of you has more Igbo Blood than the other. In life, SIBLING RIVALRY, is more of a rule than the exception. You cannot cheat Nature in any attempt to remain, consistently, monolithic. That is reserved for the un-educated and the sublime. Such adjectives could NEVER find a space in a vocabulary of my Igbo siblings, today. So, let us, permanently sheath the divisive swords, and be brothers, AGAIN. Let the mistakes of the past be forgiven and forgotten. NO ONE is above mistakes. It is amazing, how life's complete lessons can be found in 'e pluribus unum' found on our American Penny.

ON ATLANTA CONVENTION:

I can, honestly, tell you that I would be so disappointed if ALL my Igbo Siblings do not show up in Atlanta. Atlanta was created because of your advocacy, and others like you. Atlanta was to exemplify us, and our new and true beliefs - drastically independent of our Coordinator, brother "Big Steve", or your humble Planning Committee Chair here, as well as other, very hard-working Chairmen (like Onyeocha, et al.) and dedicated Members, the likes of "Le Figaro", Sunny Azubuike, et al.

ATLANTA is for us, and it is bigger than Big Steve, just as the Biafran war was bigger than Chief Ojukwu himself. This war must be won at all fronts.

Please, do not allow this opportunity pass us, by. Where else would we be so heard, especially those of us in need of immediate re-direction in this Nigerian Project? Would you rather complain than effect the desperately needed changes? What would Atlanta Conference be without the likes of brother "Biafra", Damian, Egwuatu and "Wind"? Do you truly believe that brother "Big Steve", or ANY of us, planning it exclude ANY of you? You do not pretend to call be a a discriminator and hater, or do you? Com'on my Siblings. Let us wake up to this august waves for change. I thank you, in advance.

In parting, as this is bound to be my last digression from this very important thread,
Maybe there is an "Ibibio", "Igbo", "Yoruba", "Hausa/Fulani", "Tiv/Idoma", "Ijaw", "Efik" and other 190+ ethnicities in all of us. Maybe the way to make us complete requires such recognition, and not excision, exclusion or extinction. Let us tackle real problems, like this horrible and un-proven vaccine, by Abalaka, M.D., while leaving his ethnicity alone; OO's poor leadership skills, while leaving the Yorubas alone, et al., and for God's sake, let us stop these brotherly blood baths. It is the fear that we could miss the BIG PICTURE, that worries me the MOST. I love you, as always!

Ednut and Chuba

when both of you try to play selective anmaesia about some of the things Big Steve have done, That is burying ones head in the sand. When I was at Nigeria world I Used to respect people like Big Steve I used to even defending him as two of you are doing right now. However once Big steve start using information given to him in confidence, that is a balant abuse of trust.

For example some members of Nigeria world whom I respect a great deal have called me and told me that Big steve said that Biafra is so so ...... person. When some of us use psudonames on this board it doesn't mean we are hiding anything we do that to make a point. I use Biafra as my user name here because I love Biafra and very proud to be Biafran. However during the time we signed the petition against Obasanjo's masacare of MASSOB members in Okigwe I signed that petition with my name. Now because that name was submitted to Big Steve, Now Big Steve is going arround telling some members of Nigeriaworld that Biafra is so so ---- Person. that is a complete violation of my civil right and the trust, which if I decide to take action can land some people in a hot water. Some of my close friend have called me asking me whether I am so so person that Big Steve said I was this person. Come on I was not born yesterday. Big Steve pulled my name from the petition I signed and now he is going arround telling people all sorts of things. Because some of this friends who called me told me this things in confidence I decided to let it go, So when Chuba come here blowing Big Steve horn without knowing the full story to me that smell like doing Big Steve dirty work for him. So Chuba and Ednut evil is an evil no matter where is coming from. Just because Big Steve is your friend doesn't make what he did to me or anybody else right.

Biafra, IG Nwafor, Egwuato, Damian & Co,
No person with feelings will watch brothers like you fighting without intervening. It is unfortunate that you all, probably the brightest Igbos I have ever read, and hopefully will someday meet are engaging each other in a self-consuming quarrel. Since I have heard only the version of you and other members of this board, but I am yet to hear from bro Steve, I can only base my judgement on what you guys have said or complained against Mr. Steve here. If I am asked, I would suggest that all of you who feel betrayed by Big Steve go to Atlanta (though I dont know why or what reason(s) they are meeting) and try to talk things out one-on-one with Steve. He may have better explanation(s) or excuses on what you fellows accuse him of. He might not be the know all, insensitive guy he appers to be on the NigeriaWorld. He might just turn out to be a nice fellow.
I join bro COLO in pleading with you my brothers & sisters to shield your swords and let bygone be bygones. Remember the saying -- that to offend is human and to forgive is divine.
Igboland and Nigeria needs you all more than you can imagine. We Igbos cannot afford to be at each other's neck at this time that it seems everything in Nigeria is stacked against us. I am also using this medium (since Steve admit that he visits this website) and opportunity to appeal to my Big Brother Big Steve to atleast talk to his fellow brothers who feel so angry with him via this board, since they (his accusers) have been denied postage right to the NigeriaWorld board. Maybe, just maybe not all that has been said against him (Steve) is true or did Steve do those things intentionally. In the meantime, I am appealing once more to all of you who have been denied posting privileges to the other board to see it as one of those things that happens in life which one ought to accept and move on; Lets move on brothers and sisters. Let brotherly love continue.

Chuba,
Please, please do not complicate an already difficult case. This is no time to point accusing fingers. Since Steve's accusers have been denied posting privileges to the Nigeriaworld board, they have no option than to make their case here. Now is the time those of us not personally involved in this brotherly dispute should show some neutrality and help bring our brothers and sisters together. Just like COLO, you can and should also be a facilitator to this effort to reconcile this once friends. Let Big Steve defend himself if he so wish. Thanks.

On the topic:
There is another Nigerian doctor in the US said to have discovered a vacine against AIDS, however, I will keep my fingers crossed until a reputable organization or institute certifies that actually the said vacine is effective against HIV, untill then, I will view this latest "discovery" with skeptism as I did when I first heard of Abalaka's now fake vacine.
Please let us discuss this fake doctor and leave where he comes from out of it because were this fake vacine genuine, I do not think most patients who use them will care where the inventor came from.

Chuba:
Let me re-iterate that on this board everyone is free to express themselves without fear of being muzzled.
Damian, Biafra, Egwuatu, and others who were banned fron the other board are entitled to voice their opinion about anybody and anything here, unlike the other board.
It is mostly unwise of you (once again) to assume the position of defense attorney for anyone.

When that particular disagreement was going on between Damian and Steve Nwabuzor, I asked Steve Nwabuzor to arrest the situation (as an elder) but he ignored it and forged ahead. The perception we had was that he used his intimate friendship with the Nigeriaworld boardmaster to muzzle the voices of others who disagreed with him. When all were said and done, he came out reeking of the accusation. Thus, his credibility was tarnished where most pro-Igbos were concerned.

Since Steve Nwabuzor visits this board, it is his entitlement to respond on his own defense as no one will influence the admin
