SILENT MURDERER!

So am peeping into the dairy of a sleeping lady (big deal?) and am seeing that 292 persons have tested positive to HIV virus in Ido-Osi local government area of Ekiti State (source: NigeriaNewsdesk). My worry would be that the virus is still on rampant and rapid spread irrespective of campaigns here and there. Permit me to ask, is it that people are not convinced about its existence so continue to leave carelessly? Is the problem that of ignorance? I bleed when I get news like this. We claim that the world population is teaming but we fail to aknowledge its dwindling number. HIV/AIDS is fast taking away vibrant young people and believe me, no one knows how far it would go. I'll tell you a quick one. A friend of my sister (during their service year) lived with us. She was so nice that I would have done anything to keep her fine. She took ill so often that she travel home at some point for treatment. A series of tests were carried out on her and she was diagnosed with HIV. We all got shocked  and till date not even the carrier can tell how she contracted the deadly virus...Hmmmn! Hw do we overcome this life snuffer?

SEPTEMBER SPECIAL...

Its 3.39am and a very tired Funmi is woken by the thought of children crying repeatedly (seriously, continuous cry is killing) but am gonna help tell the story (my business you know). How does a well fed kid cry in the morning? takes a bath, haves a nap, wakes in tears, has another meal, plays a short while, resumes crying, sleeps again for a shorter while than done in the morning, wakes in tears again, refuses food and expects to be carried while standing all night... who does that??? My fascination? they never seem to have headaches as the routine for some of them is stable. For real, do they have to cry so hard to get anything? arrrrrrgh! (Images withheld cause you don't wanna see what I found on research) ...oops! Have I welcomed you to the month of September? Aii, Happy new month. Its gonna be a great month. Ciao...
