Open Letter To Lassa Fever

Dear Lassa baby,

First of all, your father!

Now, when Bird flu came, we were told to forsake chicken,

We reluctantly obeyed.

When sister Ebola came, we were told to forsake bushmeat, we obeyed.

And now, you just came and without the fear of God in you,

You said we should forsake garri, Garri ke?

Do you know how helpful garri is to Nigerians especially Nigerian students?

Honestly, if Nigerian students swear for you,

Your tenure no go last reach another 1 week. Nonsense!

DON’T bother to know my name.
