Amidst the heartbreaking demise of popular Nollywood Actor, Alex Ekubbo after battling cancer, a Nigerian on x.com (formerly Twitter) has revealed a plant he claimed can prevent and cure the deadly disease.
The US-based man with the handle, therealbelano who shared the picture of the plant, narrated how the plant cured a growth he suffered for 14 years and almost did surgery in the United States.
According to him, the plant, Red Jathropha healed him, and can cure malaria and prevent cancer.
“There is a leaf that all of you should drink regularly! You can’t be sick of cancer! Malaria or any sickness! Cancer can’t grow in your body.
“It’s a leave the yoruba called “egboeje tutu”! I don’t know if I said the word right but I know what the leaf looks like.
“It has some reddish color! Grows like a tree. It cures more than cancer! 1000% sure.
“I’ve used it for people many times,” he claimed.

His claim has ignited a heated debate with medical professionals on the platform who stated that no sure cure exists. However, he insisted.
Red jatropha!
I’m not arguing with anyone. Say what you blend and drink! https://t.co/ISdzfQ1UX2 pic.twitter.com/IXFKwj3vlA
