And there's also things like herbal cure-it-alls, you know, lots of mixtures of herbs which they claim, oh this can cure HIV, this can cure cancer, this can cure sickle cell anemia.

Then things like the cultural background of Nigeria and the religious background, Nigeria being a very conservative country, conversations around sex and fertility and reproductive health isn't what you ideally hear people talk about in the open. So that means, because it's very hush-hush, people seek for very secret ways to address their needs in that sphere. And lastly, here is our What in the World colleague, Maria Clara Montoya.
