"Teni Battles Malaria, Calls Out Ikate Mosquitoes in Hilarious Rant"
Nigerian singer and songwriter Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has opened up about her recent struggle with malaria, and in true Teni style, she made it both relatable and hilarious.
The 32-year-old took to social media to share her ordeal, revealing that she had been battling malaria for the past two weeks. In a video, she documented moments of her treatment, including medical professionals attending to her at home. While she tried to keep things lighthearted, it was clear the illness had taken a toll on her. Teni explained that she had been extremely weak and had lost her appetite due to the sickness.
One of the most striking moments in the video was when she received an injection, wincing in pain but still managing to add her signature humor. Despite not being fully recovered, she couldn’t resist calling out the “culprits” behind her suffering—the mosquitoes in Ikate.
In her words, “Ah, e no go better for all the mosquitos wey dey for Ikate. I dey tell you. Oba, you need to find something to do about the mosquitos in Ikate because malaria had me down.”
Her comical approach to a serious health issue resonated with fans, as malaria remains a major health concern in Nigeria. Many took to the comments section to wish her a speedy recovery while also sharing their own mosquito-related frustrations.
This isn’t the first time Teni has used humor to connect with her audience. Known for her vibrant personality and witty remarks, she often brings laughter to even the most challenging situations. However, her latest experience is also a reminder of how easily preventable diseases like malaria can disrupt daily life.
Malaria remains a significant health problem in Nigeria, with millions affected yearly. Despite efforts to curb the spread, many areas still struggle with mosquito infestations due to poor drainage systems and stagnant water. Teni’s rant, though funny, highlights a genuine concern that many Lagos residents face.
Fans appreciated her honesty and ability to make light of the situation while subtly drawing attention to a larger public health issue. Some even urged local authorities to take action in reducing mosquito populations in affected areas.
As Teni continues her recovery, her resilience and humor shine through. Her ability to turn personal struggles into relatable, entertaining content is one of the many reasons she remains a fan favorite.
While malaria might have slowed her down for a bit, it’s clear that nothing can keep Teni down for long. Here’s wishing her a full recovery—and maybe a mosquito-free Ikate in the future!
