Nigerian Herbal Doctor Claims HIV Cure, Dares Public with ₦20M Guarantee
A Nigerian herbal doctor has stirred massive online buzz after claiming he has discovered a cure for HIV—backing his bold statement with a ₦20 million promise if the treatment fails.
The controversial claim was posted on X (formerly Twitter) by @TheRoyalHerbs, quickly catching the attention of netizens.
The debate kicked off when a user, @the_beardedsina, challenged the claim by asking for a free dose of the alleged cure. The herbalist responded confidently:
“Sure, as long as you sign an agreement with my lawyer to pay ₦10M after treatment ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻.”
Not backing down, @the_beardedsina countered with a new proposal:
“I’ll pay you ₦2M for the drug. But if it doesn’t cure HIV, you’ll pay me ₦20M. Deal?”
The herbal doctor then raised the stakes:
“You pay me ₦10M if it works, I pay you ₦20M if it doesn’t! Deal?”
The back-and-forth quickly went viral, drawing strong reactions from the public—ranging from disbelief to cautious support.
Here are some of the top comments:
- @Fakutiju_Sola: “If you could truly cure HIV, you’d be a billionaire by now. Can you cure kidney disease too?”
- @ayokauna_xx: “I don’t trust mainstream medicine either. Big Pharma would never let a cheap herbal cure succeed.”
- @_kdmaverick: “So no free trials? Only big men get the ‘miracle’ treatment?”
- @Bayunsi: “Only in Nigeria do people toss HIV claims around like it’s malaria.”
- @mavxin: “Delusional. Are you even monitoring viral load or CD4 count, or just vibes?”
The exchange has reignited discussions about traditional medicine, medical ethics, and the risks of unverified health claims.
What do you think—genuine breakthrough or dangerous bluff?
