Recently, a Nigerian woman was exposed for using her health challenge to rake in some cool amount of cash for herself.
The woman, who is said to be suffering from a medical condition identified as Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS), is able to contract her arm as she pleases, due to a genetic connective tissue disorder that comes with symptoms such as loose joints, stretchy skin and abnormal scar formation.
However, rather than let the condition control her, the woman got busy with some Nigerian pastors and aided their deceptive miracle schemes for a fee.
