A Nigerian herbal doctor has made headlines with a bold claim of discovering a cure for HIV. To prove his confidence in the treatment, he has offered to pay ₦20 million if it doesn’t work.
The Conversation that Sparked the Claim
The claim was made in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) by @TheRoyalHerbs. A user, @the_beardedsina, asked if he could get a free dose of the supposed HIV cure. The herbal doctor responded, saying he would provide the cure if the user agreed to pay ₦10 million after successful treatment.
However, @the_beardedsina proposed a different deal, offering to pay ₦2 million for the drug but demanding ₦20 million in return if it failed to cure HIV as claimed.
The herbal doctor responded with a revised offer, saying, “You pay me ₦10M if it works, I pay you ₦20M if it doesn’t!”
The bold claims and high-stakes wager quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from users. Some questioned the herbal doctor’s credibility, while others expressed willingness to try the treatment.
Some notable reactions include:
– @Fakutiju_Sola: “If you can cure HIV, you would have turned a billionaire by now…”
– @ayokauna_xx: “Not trusting you blindly but I’ll believe you over ‘medical practitioners’…”
– @_kdmaverick: “So, you’re not going to treat people for free?”
– @Bayunsi: “See as my country people dey play with HIV like say na malaria fever.”
