Mortein World Malaria Day: April 25th 2012

Malaria is the number one cause of death in Nigeria, ahead of HIV/AIDS, stroke, coronary heart disease and diabetes. Children under five and pregnant women are the most susceptible to death from Malaria, accounting for 85% of all malaria deaths.

Worldwide 35 countries account for 98% of all the malaria deaths in the world. 30 are in Africa. Nigeria is the #1. Of the 54 countries in Africa, 50 are malaria prone countries, only 2 are completely free.
In Nigeria, Malaria costs the economy 135.2billion naira.

A person gets Malaria from the bite of an infected female mosquito. Wednesday April 25th is World Malaria Day and Mortein, the multipurpose cockroach/insect killer and insecticide with the lowest hazard level is bringing the awareness to Nigeria and also wants to get a message out. Malaria is a serious problem in Nigeria, but with relatively simple practices like using a quality insecticide like Mortein, using bed nets and keeping the environment, the impact can be reduced.

    How does one celebrate World Malaria Day?

    Do I get bitten by a skin-diving mosquito? Do I get under the skin of a mosquito? Do I retaliate and bite a mosquito? Supposing I bite it and it bites me back? Do I phone M16? Do I read it bite-time story? Do I prey for it? Do I sing it it's favorite song: "I've Got You Under My Skin"? What d-o I d-o? ....... What do I do? ... What would LIB readers do? What would Linda Ikeji do? ... [...im thinking ... minutes ... hours... days... more days ... months gone by .. still thinking..] ... YES YES YES !!! I've got the answer. I know what I'm going to do. I will invite Mortein to knock 'em out!






    Why does mosquitoes go to the dentist?















    To improve their bite.

  6. Mortein, the multipurpose insect destroyer. Mortein stops malaria from catching you. Mortein stops poverty from catching Linda. Mortein gives Linda more money. So, Make Mortein your first choice.
