A Succesful Medical career with good business acumen.

A Succesful Medical career with good business acumen.







By    Iwu   Ifeanyi Olamide.






The joy we felt when we all saw our names on the admission list was magnificent, we blithely brought the list  to show our parents which in turn were happy with our achievements. The euphoria is something that would linger on in our minds. Many thoughts satiated our minds, some where to see the beautiful and eye-catching landscape the school had to offer, others were anxious to meet equally or even better intellectuals for competition sake, and a bunch of others were happy that they would see the beautiful people UNILAG had to offer.

Chikungunya: Another Mosquito situation



Tweets from the official account of the World Health Organization (WHO) have been flooding my Twitter timeline. A particular topic caught my interest. Tweets about a disease called 'Chikungunya' were difficult to ignore. Maybe it's the name, quite funny, chikungunya , couldn't help laughing. Sounds like something from Naruto. When I saw a tweet that said it was transmitted by mosquito bites,  I got even more interested. Mosquito is a vector we Africans, Nigerians know very well, in fact,  Chief Amos Quito na our padi. Who never get malaria before? Walk into any hospital and half the patients are being treated for malaria, another mosquito transmitted pathology.

So curiosity got the better of me, and I did a little research on this disease. With reliable information (avoid hoaxes, trust only reliable sources) sourced from the WHO  and the CDC USA, I was able to come up with an article on this interesting disease.
