OLAMIDE – A Comparison of Eni Duro And Bobo
A lot has happened since most of us began loving Olamide in 2010 after the release of Eni Duro. Eni Duro’s music video was considered remarkable because it depicted Olamide’s ‘humble beginning’ lyrics accurately. However, Olamide has risen to fame and is now used an example of hardwork and consistency in the Nigerian music industry.
By comparing 5 features of Olamide’s music videos, Eni Duro (2010) and Bobo(2015), we will see how much things have changed for the Yoruba hip hop artiste.
- 1. He was signed on Coded Tunes in Eni Duro in 2010. Today, he owns YBNL Nation.
- 2. Olamide has moved up from the ghetto to the Island. Eni Duro was shot in the hood while Bobo was shot at the popular Oriental Hotel in Victoria Island.
- 3. In Eni Duro, he only had Shaki and some guy’s girl. In Bobo, the girls were more enthusiastic to be featured.
- 4. He was once a one-man army, but today, he has a team of fast-rising proteges – Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, etc.
- 5. He’s moved up to wearing bespoke designer clothes and jewellry. No more ‘Burberry’ and plastic ‘Ray Bans’.
Olamide has really done well for himself. His consistency has led him to the heights of the Nigerian music industry.

ZIKA VIRUS IMPREGNATED LASSA FEVER [DETAILS]
Zika plus Lassa fever is equal to "AZUKA".
Nigeria Contained Ebola; Can We Contain Lassa Fever and Zika Virus? Indeed, Nigeria my home country
was among the first West African nations to contain the recent Ebola outbreak,
as a result of rapid action, resilience and resources, and widespread health
education.
This
is the season of fevers. The menace of fevers is rocking the world. Yellow
fever is no longer a global threat, but malaria fever is still with us while
typhoid fever remains on the prowl. At least 40 Nigerians have lost their lives
to the current outbreak of Lassa Fever across 10 states of the federation, but
the ministry of health continues with efforts to keep the figures that low
while eliminating the virus.
Basically, what do you think is the main cause of Zika Virus & Lassa Fever?
Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in rhesus monkeys through a monitoring network of sylvatic yellow fever. It was subsequently identified in humans in 1952 in Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. Outbreaks of Zika virus disease have been recorded in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific.
Zika
virus is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito from
the Aedes genus, mainly Aedes aegypti in tropical regions. This
is the same mosquito that transmits dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. As
of February 2016, three reported cases indicate that Zika virus could possibly
be sexually transmitted.
The
incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) of Zika virus disease is
not clear, but is likely to be a few days. The symptoms are similar to other
arbovirus infections such as dengue, and include fever, skin rashes,
conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache. These symptoms
are usually mild and last for 2-7 days.
Mosquitoes
and their breeding sites pose a significant risk factor for Zika virus
infection. Prevention and control relies on reducing mosquitoes through source
reduction (removal and modification of breeding sites) and reducing contact
between mosquitoes and people.
Zika virus disease is usually
relatively mild and requires no specific treatment. People sick with Zika virus
should get plenty of rest, drink enough fluids, and treat pain and fever with
common medicines. If symptoms worsen, they should seek medical care and advice.
There is currently no vaccine available.
Lassa
fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic illness caused by Lassa virus, a member of
the arenavirus family of viruses. It is transmitted to humans from contacts
with food or household items contaminated with rodent excreta. The disease is
endemic in the rodent population in parts of West Africa. Person-to-person
infections and laboratory transmission can also occur, particularly in the
hospital environment in the absence of adequate infection control measures.
Diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential.
According
to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the disease can be transmitted via
sexual intercourse with infected persons, with such cases reported in the past.
Person-to-person transmission occurs in both community and health-care
settings, where the virus may be spread by contaminated medical equipment, such
as re-used needles. Lassa fever occurs in all age groups and both sexes.
No vaccine for Lassa fever is currently available for use in humans, and the only available drug, ribavirin, is only effective if administered early in infection (within the first 6 days after disease onset). One of the hallmarks of Lassa virus infection is the apparent absence of functional antibodies during acute infection.
Prevention
of Lassa fever is possible. That is basically built around promoting good
“community hygiene” to bar rats from entering homes. Grains and other
foodstuffs should be stored in rodent-proof containers, while disposing garbage
far from the home, maintaining clean households. A large number of Nigerians do
not love keeping cats, but the WHO prescribes that keeping cats can help keep
Lassa fever away, by keeping rats away altogether. Family members should always
be careful to avoid contact with blood and body fluids while caring for sick
persons.
The good news is,
Lassa Fever or Zika Virus can be prevented. Treatment is free in Nigeria.
