World Malaria Day: Malaria is still one of Nigeria’s top killers—why?


In 2025, while we scroll, chill under fans, or complain about NEPA, someone nearby is gasping for breath from a mosquito bite. Most times, it’s a child.

This year’s theme, "Malaria Ends With Us – Reinvest. Reimagine. Reignite”

isn’t just a slogan. It’s a battle cry. And Nigeria is ground zero.




Let’s ask the hard questions:

Why does the country with brilliant doctors still have the highest malaria burden?

Why are mosquito nets used as window blinds and fishing gear?

Why are clinics still short on antimalarials?

Why do we still shrug off malaria as “normal”?


Here’s how we flip the script:

1. REINVEST

Not in billboards—but in people.

Fund clinics, not press conferences.

Stock drugs, train health workers, expand R & D.

Demand answers.


2. REIMAGINE

Think beyond bed nets.

Drone sprays in rural zones.

AI predicting outbreaks before they start.

Gen Z-led school campaigns in pidgin and local languages.

What’s your bold idea? Drop it below.


3. REIGNITE

Malaria won’t die until we treat it like the emergency it is.

Sleep under a net.

Educate one person this week.

Take action in your street, compound, church, or school.

Are you doing your part—or just tweeting?


It’s 2025. Malaria should be a memory—not a death sentence.

We have the tools.

We have the knowledge.

We have no excuse.


Let’s finish what we started.

If malaria ends, it ends with us.
