Ebola scare bigger than Aki na Ukwa
Good people, I am tempted to leak some vital information to Aki na Ukwa sensations from the Ebola hit West Africa. This may be faulty in a tactless country where a media parrot with no football know-how stands accused of selling tactics of a team with no tactics to show, but it is no secret travellers from the Ebola-ravaged zone are being barred from vulnerable countries that cannot sell their citizens lives for three coins.
In football, they say no life is worth three points! Spot on—except in Malawi which is awaiting Aki na Ukwa film stars, Chinedu Ikedieze and Osita Iheme, next month having hosted Benin Soccer team a fortnight ago.
Judas Iscariot did not die 2014 years ago. So, here is a low-down on Malawi’s leaky tactical approach to deadly viral outbreak which has killed1013 people, including Aki na Ukwa’s compatriots.
Ebola might have transformed the way people live and mix, but don’t panic, our Nigerian entertainers. Malawians so love your grainy winding films that you are guaranteed a red-carpet welcome even if you were stretchered in bleeding, shivering and vomiting Ebola-style!
Ebola is no laughing matter, but even the brains in high places would be laughing ear-to-ear, like yawning lizards, thinking you have arrived with a bang—your usual jokes!
You may be small wonders, Iheme and Chinedu, but you are bigger than our comedians Chindime, Winiko Izeki ndi Jakobo when it comes to what you do best. Indeed, people will throng your upcoming shows and happily expose themselves to the virus which spread like bushfire through contact with body fluids.
And just for you ears: Our health officials are more than ready to combat the killer disease not with the untested US juju, but a barrage of lip service and press statements!
That is what being ready for any attack entails in a country whose healthcare is still grappling with bilharzia, a waterborne disease as ancient as the shadoofs of Egypt.
The only disease our country can’t cure is cancer which killed top musicians Stonald Lungu and Geoffrey Zigoma.
But if you care, stay out in your Ebola region, Aki na Ukwa. We love our lives more than your maddening jokes!
