A Nigerian herbal doctor has stirred buzz online after confidently claiming to have found a cure for HIV—promising to pay ₦20 million if the remedy fails.
The bold assertion was made in several posts on X (formerly Twitter) by the handle @TheRoyalHerbs.
The conversation gained traction when a user, @the_beardedsina, quoted the herbal doctor’s tweet and asked if he could receive a free sample of the alleged cure.
The herbal doctor replied, stating he would offer the cure on the condition that the user pays ₦10 million after the treatment proves successful.
He wrote: “Sure, in as much you can sign agreement with my lawyer to pay ₦10M Naira after treatment ✌✌✌.”
However, @the_beardedsina countered with a proposal of his own—offering to pay ₦2 million for the drug, but demanding ₦20 million in compensation if it failed to cure HIV as claimed.
He replied: “Let’s do this. I pay you ₦2 million naira for your drug. If it doesn’t cure HIV as you said, you pay me ₦20 million…since it’s your word against your word. Deal… Are you in?”
The herbal doctor responded with a revised offer—he agreed to the ₦2 million payment upfront but insisted that the ₦20 million compensation would only apply if a certified medical test confirmed the treatment had failed.
“You pay me ₦10M if it works, I pay you ₦20M if it doesn’t! Deal?”
The bold claims and high-stakes wager quickly went viral, sparking a wave of mixed reactions as users flooded the comment section with opinions, skepticism, and curiosity.
