“Many Dubai-based Nigerians are HIV Positive” – UAE Nigerian ( True or false?)



A UAE-based Nigerian, Prince Eze Kingston Uzosike made a cry over the high number of Nigerians in Dubai testing positive for HIV. “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.”


He complained that even though the dreaded disease has defied all attempts at a cure in the more than 20 years since its discovery, blacks (especially Nigerians) were still indulging in activities that put them at risk of contracting the disease.


Uzosike said, “Many of these Nigerians being deported from abroad are HIV positive”

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

Speaking with a correspondent for Leadership newspaper who recently visited United Arab Emirate recently, Uzosike (who has spent four years in Diaspora) said that 187 black people without immigration papers were caught and tested for HIV, and of that number, 93 were HIV positive.

Of the 93 positive, Uzosike says, 80 were Nigerians who were then 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 finally got his papers last year, goes on to narrate the story of a Nigerian who was deported about 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.”

Uzosike also observed that apart from being sex workers, most Nigerians in Diaspora were involved in shady deals. He said that more than 700 Nigerians were recently duped over residence permits by a construction company which was supposed to give them the residence permit and jobs. He disclosed that it was Nigerians and Indians who connived to scam the other 700 Nigerians.

Another Nigerian in UAE, Alloysius Anosike noted that many of the Nigerians in Dubai are there illegally. 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’. “

Uzosike adds that he believes 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”
