The mother of all epidemics, HIV/AIDS, was sprung on the human race in the 1980s. Human Immunodeficiency Virus was first identified in a French lab in 1981 but the scare reached a crescendo in the mid-1980s. Just when we were celebrating the end of Ebola, Lassa fever returned with vengeance. The German Chancellor jovially ate the beef, which caused an uproar in Germany. The Economist magazine then pointed out in an editorial that Mad Cow disease had a ten years’ incubation period and since Kohl was nearly 70, it didn’t really matter. In 1987, we suddenly heard about the outbreak in Europe of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy [BSE], popularly called Mad Cow disease. Newspaper stories claimed at the time that it was buffaloes in the Yankari Game Reserve that spread rinderpest to cattle herds. We heard from elders at the time that the old Native Authorities in Northern Nigeria were always well prepared for rinderpest outbreaks. While the rinderpest scare lasted, everyone in Nigeria was afraid of eating beef. In late 1982, Nigeria was again turned upside down by an outbreak of the cattle disease rinderpest. Luckily, the hospitals had a very effective treatment for it in the form of ampicillin injection, which made it possible to urinate within an hour. It said the hospital’s management wanted to inform all Heads of Department “of an outbreak of Marburg disease and upsurge in COVID 19 infection.” It told them to “ensure adequate surveillance and hygiene by observing all protocols of prevention.” Your statement, quickly followed by the leaked Abuja Teaching Hospital circular, reminded me of Shu’aibu Tsamaye, a dishevelled local musician who used to go from house to house in Sokoto in the 1970s singing his popular tunes from drug addiction to Udoji salary bonanza.
