I was going
through my old journal yesterday and I came across this entry dated Friday 10th
September, 2010. I couldn’t help but laugh hysterically. Read on…
A penny for a
thought… come to think of it, the African society is a very welcoming society
to a visitor. A feast must be held incase one is paid a courtesy call.
Then why were the
ICC and the World Community all fuss about President El Bashir visit to Kenya
over the Promulgation celebrations, and yet the President and his entourage
were fasting over the Muslim Eid and didn’t partake in the feast.
One thing we
appreciate as a Blog is when we see inspiration among others to follow and
achieve a dream that resonates deep within. Dr Dwayne Dyer, often called the
father of motivation once said;
“Nothing is
impossible with an idea whose time has come. When an ides has come and it
resonates within you, it can’t be stopped.”
Today we travel to
Kenya
to meet talented youths who given the right exposure and investment can be a
force to reckon with in soccer.
HOW SAFE ARE WE? KENYANS ASK AFTER A 15 MAN
GANG RAID A CHURCH IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
This past weekend
an incident happened in NairobiKenya that put
the security portfolio again on the hot seat on how safe are Kenyans wherever
they are. We obtained footage of the broad daylight church raid and we let you
decide how safe are you?
Today we venture
into the world of great African physical features and milestone landscape. You might
save this list as a bucket list of some of the destinations you must at least
visit before you kick the same bucket!
1.Maasai Mara ( wild beast migration and 7th wonder
of the world- Kenya / Tanzania)
2.The Zambezi / Victoria falls ( Zambia )
3.The Egyptian pyramids ( Egypt )
4.Mount Kilimanjaro ( Tanzania )
5.The Drakensberg mountains ( south Africa )
6.The Great Rift valley

BEWARE AFRICA
GRACE AMSALU IS A PRANKSTER ON THE LOOSE: ( PART 3.)
The drama
continues and as we saw in part 2 what we expected came through this email. The
same email word for word as we had anticipated…. In part 2, a fraudsters
website (http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/fraud
) had already discovered this prank and they posted the same emails. I now post
the email from the website and note the word for word notation between both…

KNOWING THAT THIS IS A CAT AND MOUSE GAME WE HAVE DECIDED TO END OUR INVESTIGATIONS!!!!! WHATEVER YOU ARE ON THE INTERNET IT IS A REALITY AND IT NEEDS YOU TO BE CAUTIOUS!
1.African populations are extremely affected by
Malaria
Malaria is caused by blood parasites transmitted from person to person through
the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the absence of prompt and effective
treatment, malaria often causes death.
The African Region accounts for 85% of malaria cases and 90% of malaria deaths
worldwide. Malaria causes avoidable and often catastrophic spending for
households and is an obstacle to the development of affected African
communities and nation
2.Mothers and Children
85% of malaria deaths occur in children under five years of age. Every 30
seconds a child dies from malaria. Malaria episodes in pregnant women cause
anemia, and other complications in the mother and newborn child.
3.People Living With HIV/AIDS
People Living With HIV/AIDS have a higher risk of recurrent malaria episodes
and severe malaria.
4.Fighting malaria contributes to the attainment
of several Millenium Development Goals (MDGs)
Reducing malaria burden contributes in particular to the attainment of the
Millennium Development Goal 4 target of reducing under-five mortality by
two-thirds by 2015 but also to MDGs related to poverty reduction, education,
and maternal health.
5.African Leaders committed to the reduction of
malaria burden
African heads of states and governments have committed to leading the reduction
of malaria burden at the 2000 and 2006 Abuja Summits through ensuring universal
access of exposed populations to essential malaria prevention and treatment
interventions.
6.Malaria Burden can be reduced in Africa
As a result of the scale-up of use of insecticide-treated nets, Indoor residual
spraying, intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy and
Artemisinin-based combination therapy, 10 countries in the WHO African region
have reduced malaria cases by at least 50% between 2000 and 2008.
7.Health Systems Strengthening and Malaria
Control have reciprocal beneficial effects.
Access to services and prevention and treatment interventions, procurement and
supply of quality medicines and commodities, diagnostic capacity; routine
surveillance, monitoring and evaluation concur to systems strengthening and
progress towards national and international targets.
8.Engagement of all stakeholders is critical to
intensify the fight against malaria
The support of all development partners to malaria control and other disease
control programmes, maternal and child health as well as education must be
integrated in the broader context of a sustainable environment and development.
9.WHO advocates for the scale-up of proven
cost/effective malaria control interventions.
WHO in collaboration with international, continental and regional partners
advocates and provides normative guidance and technical assistance for the
scale-up of essential interventions in order to reverse the incidence of
malaria by 2015.
10.Primary health care and community empowerment
and involvement are critical for the success of malaria control and progresstowards
its elimination
All African communities must own and take part in the fight against malaria,
provide human and financial resources and develop alliances to conquer the
scourge of malaria.
So, Mortein is doing
a campaign where they are calling on all mothers across Africa
to join them in their fight against the Malaria, most especially because
pregnant women and children are most vulnerable to the disease.
Here’s the video to
the Mortein Theme Song for World Malaria Day byOmawumi:
