Many people will die like ants in the next 10, 20 years if nothing is done. What the Nigerian government should do is to enforce general test so that all Nigerians can go for HIV test. They should make it sort of mandatory. The system also should be solid to enforce it so that people  will know their status by force.”

These were the words of a UAE-based Nigerian, Prince Eze Kingston Uzosike even as he raised the alarm over the high number of Nigerians testing positive to HIV in the country.

According to him, despite the dreaded HIV pandemic which has continued to defy cure more than 20 years after discovery, blacks especially Nigerians in Diaspora still continue to engage in risky behavior.

The Nigerian immigrant dropped a bombshell; “many of these Nigerians being deported from abroad are HIV positive”

Uzosike   queried, “Do you know how many people these people who are HIV positive may have infected since they got back home?

Speaking to our correspondent who visited Dubai, United Arab Emirate recently, Uzosike who has spent about four years in Diaspora, said in December, about 187 blacks who had no immigration papers were caught and tested for HIV and about 93 tested positive.

Out of this number, he said 80 were Nigerians who were later deported home.

“I know within my guts that these people some of whom are married will not tell their wives or even their girlfriends back home, their status. And you know how our girls run after guys who travel out of the country. So you can imagine. My view is that the disease will continue to spread.”

Uzosike who got his papers last year, narrated a story of a Nigerian who was deported home four months ago.

“Nicknamed Chiefo, he was the first guy who started using the internet here and he recently got married in Nigeria leaving his wife behind. But in Dubai here, he has been philandering with so many girls here that when we heard he tested positive to HIV shortly before his deportation, many of us were not surprised. I am sorely afraid if he would tell his wife back home. Many Nigerian men in UAE just sleep with girls anyhow”

According to him, a lot of Nigerian men in UAE are frustrated as they don’t have anything doing so sex is something they use to take their mind off things.

“Come here and see our girls hustling for men most especially married women. Come here and see how they mess up. When you talk to them, they say it’s the condition of the country. When you hear some stories happening here, you will weep. Many of our girls who come to shop here engage in sharp practices first before leaving.”

“I have clients who travel to Indonesia, Turkey, China , India and Bangladesh. They give me stories when they come back. They tell tales of how our girls throw themselves at them because of papers (laughs). Imagine Chinco (a word used for Chinese). Every blessed day, millions of Naija girls are just trooping out.”

Apart from indulging in sex business, Uzosike also disclosed that many Nigerians are engaged in sleaze over there.

He said over 700 Nigerians were recently duped over residence permit by a construction company who promised to give them employment and resident permit.

“Meanwhile, it’s the same Nigerians who connived with the Indians to dupe their fellow brothers.”

Another UAE- based Nigerian, Alloysius  Anosike said that  many Nigerians living in Dubai are illegal immigrants.

He said, “About 70 or 80 of every 100 Nigerians living here are illegal.”

“These our fellow brothers use  about $800 to procure two months visa  for some Nigerian girls  who are relatively young to come and ‘work’ for them. At the end of the day, you see these girls working $20,000 for these men. You’ll see them going from one club house to the other ‘working’. “

In fact, says, Uzosika, “am convinced that about 20 million Nigerians are HIV positive. You hardly see a Nigerian man here not living with a South African lady and you know that South Africa has the highest HIV prevalence rate in the world.”

“But I know that when our guys here know that HIV test is being enforced at home, they will sit up here. The way things are going, our younger generation has no future. Everyone believes that the future is in abroad where HIV is being marketed”
