To be clear, I love living in Nigeria. I have had the best social standing and quality of life here. Coupled with the social support readily available to me, I am not in any hurry to leave Nigeria. I have tasted life on the other side and I know what to expect.

But the issue is I am very prone to Malaria. Growing up, I used to treat malaria like 6-7 times a year to the point that I know almost the nurses and doctors in any area I move to. As an adult making bread, I have been able to reduce that to like 2 times a year with very proactive actions that doesn't come cheap. I am very rarely down with anything other than malaria.

A few days ago, my 2-year old daughter got malaria for the first time while I was also down with it. I had to forget about my own and ensure she got the best treatment. I was restless and worried for the 2-3 days she was down. Now I can't even bear the thought of seeing her down with it again not to even talk about having it constantly.

I have been looking at options abroad (Germany job seeker visa, Netherlands orientation visa, Sweden job seeker visa), all of which I qualify for easily. Is there a way to know if she is prone to Malaria or it's just a one time thing? I am the only one prone to Malaria amongst my siblings. The others rarely get sick at all.

Btw; I am AA and my daughter is AA too. I am already feeling I would be doing her a huge favor moving to a country without any chance of malaria occurrence.

Bros no reason am japka NOW!

So, in summary, malaria is the reason why you want to leave Nigeria?
As in treating malaria for yourself and your daughter.

You should be treating malaria every 3 months. An advice I got from a nurse last year to avoid back-to-back injection.

This is super story!!!

My brother, if only you saw how scared I was when my daughter was sick. I can't imagine that happening consistently.

Lol 🤣, you make it sound like his reasons are not good enough and he should sit his butt down in Naija.

Some Nigerians have japa-ed because people they know personally did so and they didn't want to feel left out or left behind.

Malaria is a very good reason to japa too.......or you don't think so?

Funny.

Because I have actually studied in both France and Germany and visited many other countries including the UK. I only returned a few years ago before having my daughter.

If I want to japa, I don't need to make any excuse.

I can do anything for my daughter so if malaria becomes an issue for her, I'm leaving the country the next day if I can. I can't joke with my daughter's concerns, that is me.

But if na son I have, he go need stick his ass down and enjoy the kwantiri his father has endured all his life, including malaria.

It's your call to make though.

Are you a man or woman, where is your wife or husband

I understand, for real. Strong man body go just calm down.
If you eventually settle to leave, please do your research thoroughly. God be with you.

Till then, you can meet the nurse for recommendations. Mine recommended that I treat malaria every 3 months. I started to count last year December, so far, na only stress from work don hit me this year. I plan to go for midyear checkup this month though

Abi na

Do what’s best for your daughter and yourself.
Good luck 😊

Japa and stop asking JAMB questions.

Since malaria didn’t kill me in this life I don’t think anything else can. That thing is a very serious something. It’s just that we are now used to it and carry on as usual. But man I’ve never been as sick as I used to be whenever I’d have malaria as a kid. Moving because of it is totally valid

That's my belief too. The things malaria have showed me in this life. Has yours stopped now? How did you do it?

It happened mostly when I was a kid. Used to be sick as dog all the frigging time. ugh 😑
But as I got older the frequency decreased and then my mom always made sure I got prophylaxis every 3 months whether I was sick or not.

Now I don’t get sick anymore. Also I’m not in the country so I can’t say what would happen if I were permanently back home. I might start getting sick again who knows

You must be a British living in naija. A typical Nigerian knows malaria is not a problem, except you're very poor and can't afford treatment. Even them, poor people manage to treat it with herbs.

My kids have had malaria a lot when they were young but their body has acclimatised.

Travel if you want, but don't blame it on malaria. Treating malaria twice a year is child's play, they was a time in my life that malaria was coming every month like a period. That time has passed, thankfully, we nor die.

Currently if I have the means to live in cleaner clim than Nigeria without needing to sweat or work too hard. I will not even look back.

I'm AA and sick malaria very week. Despite the money I keep spending to keep them away.

The only thing now is that malaria hardly broke me down this days. It only give me the symptoms. As I am typing this I took malaria drugs 3 hours ago.

To reduce your chance of getting malaria inside you house. You know those big colored camphor. Scatter them all tight corners the house where mosquito will likely hide and in particularly the widows that's their main entrance. Although it doesn't come cheap that camphor this day is so expensive. But mosquito will stay away from your house. But you can still get malaria outside the house.

So in all. I will advise you leave this country. Because I will do the same if I have my way.

Lol, your choice. I think you should work on building stronger immune system though.

Oga I didn't see Russia on that your list what happened?
