Mosquito Eradication in my state/ Insecticide Treated Net shared to Rural, Urban and city to fight against Mosquito which caused Malaria Fever and it's kills over one million people per year
Most of the time, service to humanity is the best thing you can do to safe your immediate family,friends and community at large. Am with my personal security agent attached to me for safety.
I was privileged to be among the people that distributed insecticide treatment Net to the community and also to the farmers inside the forest farming for living because they are the most vulnerable to be beaten by Mosquito because they are in the bush.
Am happy I was the Cluster Supervisor with 1 other person heading the community we were posted to.
I had so much experience which I will be sharing later on because there are different people with different cultures, imagine a Man had like 6 wives inside bush, a farmer.. telling us is because of farm work, that he can't do it alone, he needed more wives and more children, all are farming there and they are making millions of Naira there.
Mosquito is a very deadly insect killing more than one million people per year
Facts About Mosquitoes
Adult mosquitoes live indoors and outdoors.
Mosquitoes can bite day and night.
Adult mosquitoes live for about 2 to 4 weeks depending on the species, humidity, temperature, and other factors. Female mosquitoes often live longer than male mosquitoes.
Only female mosquitoes bite people and animals to get a blood meal. Female mosquitoes need a blood meal to produce eggs.
Mosquitoes get infected with germs, such as viruses and parasites, when they bite infected people and animals.
It takes just a few infected mosquitoes to start an outbreak in a community and put you and your family at risk of becoming sick.

The net is set for distribution to this community and here comes one of my MDT member that want to distribute it.
The net is been removed from the sack
The net is been given to this family as per how many children were given birth to, if five children were given birth to, we will give her 3nets, 4 children is 2nets, 3 children is either 2 or 1 net is given.
My second Cluster Supervisor is also helping the MDT team in the sharing for fast distribution
This is one of the id used to enter the phone for recording,once u are not with it, you can't do anything that day.
After the Insecticide Treated Net ITN was given, it should be spread in a shade area for 24 hours because of the chemical used for the treatment to be able to reduce choking someone when used. After spreading for 24 hours, it is then safe to use.
