The ad/music video from my childhood that stays with me…
Anything from Spike Jonze will do here, each skate film, music video or ad is a masterpiece in itself. I love how visual and experimental all his work has always been.
If I had to pick one it would be a music video he did for the band Wax. It shows how a simple visual idea (not simple to execute) can turn into something so mesmerising:
To commemorate this year’s World Malaria Day, itel recently partnered with Amatem Softgel, an anti-malaria drug in Nigeria, and Drug-Aid Africa, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that provides medical drug supplies and support to low-income patients in Nigeria and across Africa.
A statement by itel explained that in tandem with theme of this year’s World Malaria Day, ‘Zero Malaria Starts with Me’, the three brands joined the global fight against malaria by donating treated mosquito nets, free medical tests, mosquito repellent cream and free anti-malaria drugs to over 1,500 households in Isale-Akoka Community, Bariga, Lagos state.
It explained that malaria is a prevalent disease in sub-Saharan Africa, and was responsible for thousands of deaths yearly, adding that as socially responsible organisations, itel, Amatem Softgel, and Drug-Aid Africa, “believe that they have a quota to contribute in ensuring a relatively healthier society.”
Mothers who send their children for malaria vaccination in the Gomoa West district of the Central Region have praised the health services for introducing malaria vaccine, saying, the malaria vaccine is very good and effective with no sign of any side effects on their children after first, second and third doses of the vaccine .
According to Madam Charity Dadzie, one of the caregivers whose child has received three doses of the malaria vaccine, the vaccine is her saviour and it is very effective.
She is waiting for the fourth and final dose when her child turns two years.
This, she said, her child frequently suffered from malaria in the past thereby receiving some scolding from the health workers whenever she visits the hospital.

Malaria: Improper use of nets worrisome Mrs Oyetola
On
Shina Abubakar – Osogbo
Wife of Osun State Governor, Mrs Kafayat Oyetola has described abuse of insecticide-treated nets by households as a setback in the battle to eliminate malaria in the state.
Mrs Oyetola, who was represented by the Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Mrs Olubukola Olaboopo at the 2021 World Malaria Day held at Palace Square, Iragbiji, stressed the need for proper use of the net in order to achieve zero malaria level in the state.
“Ongoing efforts to combat malaria include the use of insecticide-treated nets to prevent mosquito bites. These nets have been given to our people free through the support of the government and our developmental partners, mainly the Global Fund since 2013. The nets are provided through periodic mass campaigns and through routine distribution to pregnant women and fully immunized children.
