PUTTING AN END TO LASSA FEVER: (PROJECT: STCM)
Lassa fever was founded in 1969 in the town of LASSA, Borno State, Nigeria. It’s a very deadly disease that has claimed many lives. It is carried and spread by rodents through direct contact with foodstuff. The faeces, urine and breast milk of these rodents are proven to be transmission passages. Since the epidemic took a centre stage, there have been different forms of enlightenment. However, this is a fresh perspective.
Unrealistic Promises
My next concern is the rationality of the word ‘forever’. I might have said that I’ll be with you forever or till the end of time. Haha. That’s funny and it’s cracking me up. I think the phrase, “till the end of time” should be spoken by immortals who have since signed off from ‘flesh and blood’.

The Search For an Idiot in an Idiotic Way
I had a feeling that an idiot was like a “qualification” and not necessarily a thing but an expression of foolhardiness, stupidity and sheepishness, and if you like goatishness. But her hand in the gush made me wonder about the importance an idiot is now having.
Colourful Thinking
This is an array of clumsy thoughts over diverse issues; a fresh way of perceiving various events or activities in plain humour or in colourful visions conjuring new insights.
Bushy Paths
With so little time to think, I started heading out of the lecture block, mumbling greetings as I breezed past my best buddies. I thought in my head ‘this is no time for courtesy’. My walk to freedom was in full swing and suddenly, I spotted a light at the end of the tunnel―a bush. ‘You can make it’ I reassured myself, if I don’t, my reputation will literally be ‘full of crap’.
