  2. That place is part of what we call the Meningitic belt/zone and there's usually an epidemic once in a while like that especially during this period.

  3. This is bad news . Its a pity cos most of the victims are females due to over covering of their bodies. Stella, Sokoto is very hot and their windows are too small for proper ventilation.

    My miracle job is on the way
