A nurse at St. Nicholas Anglican Church, Aluu, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Ejimbe Lillian, has come under fire after posting a picture of people allegedly living with HIV on Facebook.
In the post which has now been deleted, the nurse said she told her colleague to take the picture without the knowledge of the persons ‘but avoid the faces’.
“A cross section of people who are living with HIV if u see most of them, u will be shocked they look fresh and well fed. But they come secretly to get free drugs right in my office,” she said.
Ejimbe enjoined her friends not to engage in sexual intercourse without condoms.
After facing backlash over the post, the nurse knocked her critics boasting that she had the strongest backups one could ever imagine and that she would not lose her job as her critics threatened.
“Anyone who complain about my post is not God fearing…at all. I know I won’t lose my job as my hospital is purely protected and I am a strong woman,” she said.
The nurse also said that even if she lost her job in the process it would be a price she paid for the knowledge she had shared.
Ejimbe, in another Facebook post, threatened to upload the pictures of those ‘who have the virus and are sharing it around’.
The nurse has been reported to the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), Federal Ministry of Health, United Nations, The Initiative for Equal Rights, among others.
