It's a shame that the clans continue these practice despite all this!
I hope this situation get better soon!
Sad!
That's really a huge number of people suffering from hepatitis B in Nigeria @maryfavour! It's kinda scary I would say! @progressivechef

    Thanks for taking time to read my post, @progressivechef. Twenty (20) million Nigerians living with HBV infection is huge and scary like you've rightly stated. We are talking about not less than 10% of our population. Yes, it's a shame that this facial, stomach and even female genital mutilation/cutting is still practiced in some parts of Nigeria.
