RE- COVID-19 AND MALARIA AS POSITED BY NCDC

By: Sen Rich Kay


I am a citizen of Nigeria and finds it difficult to understand the need for the comparison of COVID-19 and MALARIA as done recently by the NCDC, through their bulk SMS message I received.

Is NCDC trying to criticize the Eradication of Malaria and demean it's importance???

Few minutes ago, the NCDC through their bulk SMS had POSITED that COVID-19 and malaria may have similar symptoms but are caused by different agents.

In their assertion to claim COVID-19 as more issue to deliberate stated that "Note that while COVID-19 can spread from person to person, malaria cannot"

It is on this not I made bold to call on health sectors of the nation to determine these sailing points:

* We have more Malaria patients in Nigeria

* We have more death caused by malaria annually than COVID-19

* Malaria can't be prevented by Facemasks, social distancing nor washing of hands.
* Malaria is carried by mosquito and these mosquitoes has more contact on people than person to person contacting of COVID-19.
* We have more confirmed case of malaria than COVID-19
* COVID-19 will kill faster, one who has malaria.
* Over half a million die of malaria annually with children's death on high rate..

While we take absolute decisions to curb the spread of COVID-19, it is emphatically important for Nigeria as a country to fight malaria in supporting the Eradication of malaria project in Africa being championed by the Star Prince Ned Nwoko.

It is very very important to tame the spread of this Corona Virus and yet very much important for our people to stay safe from the most common deadly malaria disease which has ravaged the people for so long...

COVID-19 need other ailment to thrive so if these health troubling sicknesses are well handled, the damage rate of Coroavirus effects, will be limited.

It is therefore important to orient our people on the need to stay safe from COVID-19 and MALARIA rather than discriminate malaria as non essential sickness...

Keep Government's directives on curbing spread of COVID-19 and stay away from malaria...

IDUMUJE: CASE OF HATE AND WICKEDNESS

The 2017 Ugboko terrorism was  an act of hate and wickedness,   what is required now is real leadership and it could only be achieved by addressing justice. Those in support of retrogression, hate and sadism celebrated the unspeakable display of terror unleashed at innocent indigens. The barbarians used the ‘most ominous weapons’ against the victims.  What happened was ‘reminiscent of The Beslan school siege also referred to as the Beslan school hostage crisis or Beslan massacre which started  and lasted for  three days, it involved the illegal imprisonment of over 1,100 people as hostages including 777 children, and ended with the deaths of 333 people.  The crisis began when a group of armed Islamic militants, mostly Ingush and Chechen, occupied School Number One (SNO) in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation on 1 September 2004. The hostage-takers were the Riyad-us Saliheen, sent by the Chechen warl
