Not only in Onitsha, in Lagos state, some many people are treating either malaria or typhoid and this baffles me because they are too much of them now than before.

@UzomaUzoho
no big deal, seen a lot of people in Aba with the same symptoms, treatment is basic malaria drugs and vitamin C supplements, or if you are traditional, boil a mixture of neem, lime, grape in water and drink 2 cups everyday( 1morning and 1night) for 3 days. Not a medical advice.

@ChuksOkonkwo5
I live and work in Fegge. I can confirm that this is true but more true is that they’re recovering. Speculations say it is a result of the fumigation that was carried out in the markets.

  1. Same situation is happening in calabar. This is not normal, sometimes is wrong

  2. RED ALERT ⚠ UZODIMMA MOVES TO DISRUPTS IMO NEWMAP OPERATIONS

    — As World Bank Moves To Flag down the NEWMAP Project in Nigeria.

    — Many NEWMAP Project in Imo State May Get Stranded.

    It is no longer a new news over the incongruous moves of Sen. Hope Uzodimma to embezzle the over $10 MILLION RAMP MONEY domiciled in Imo RAMP account.

    “The state government is trying to tamper with the funds used in carrying out these rural roads”, Abuja RAMP office source confided in Ambrose Nwaogwugwu.

    Part of the moves was suspending the IMO RAMP state coordinator by the Supreme Court Governor in order to directly have access to the account.

    As if it is not enough, The Newmap Project is the state is now suffering a Similar faith.
    My Question is why IMO STATE and Why now.

    We gathered from our source that the Governor wants to remove the project coordinator of NEWMAP and plant his own person and to achieve what?.

    The Governor is circulating a white paper against the project coordinator and sent to the world bank in other to achieve his dubious acts.

    The Governor Invited the DSS to investigate civil servant again the role of the agency.

    The Governor arrested and detained the project team using a petition that was signed by an anonymous (no name and address).

    The Governor is reacting to base less accusation and risking loosing the NEWMAP Project in Imo State

    The project is winding up by June 2021 and IMO state is at the verge of losing all the infrastructure put in place at URUALLA and other un completed project that will help the Imo People.

    The project has not been able to achieve much because of the continuous political incursion which was carried out by Owelle Rochas OKOROCHA administration for 2 years and the Governor is still making the same mistake.

    None of this Governors were able to pay the required counterpart fund.

    More details to follow, as I monitor the developments.

    May God Save IMO State from this regime.
