Mosquitoes and other things

Hurray, its world malaria day again and the organisation which i work for in their usual sense of social responsibility have once again rolled out the banners and organised seminars to warn us about those pesky insects. I joked with a colleague that i didn't make the seminar since i already had more than bites to teach me the harms of the things. After ignoring the warning signs for some weeks i finally bowed to reason and started myself on some malaria treatment (self medication again). But come to think of it i cant imagine malaria being wiped out of my street talkless of Lagos with the various piles of trash waiting for LAWMAs pickup, stagnant pools of water and poor hygiene by people who are more worried about getting a next meal than basic sanitation(not on my street though). For me i am trying not to watch TV and get the latest installment in Nigerian political tomfoolery - Ekiti 2, and also the usual dose of the ironic and comedic from the great SAN Ando.... who's tripping around in the hunt for buried treasure in Switzerland and the Americas. And to make matters more interesting after the reappearance of the V-brothers years after their initial persecution they've been expelled from Naija on tax issues midway into a trial on related events. As if we did not have enough to deal with Malaria
