The MonkeyPox virus is a cousin to smallpox, and although not as deadly, produces fever, rashes, and sometimes can be lethal – killing 1 in 10 of its victims. And there is no cure.

“It’s similar to smallpox but a less dangerous disease. People catch it from direct contact with contaminated meat, infected people, or even bedsheets,” Dr Tobun, a medical officer in Lagos. “The first symptom is usually fever, and then body weakness, pain, and rashes.”

And now MonkeyPox has come to Nigeria. It is suspected of starting in Bayelsa with 3 suspected cases recorded, and fortunately, so far, no deaths have attributed to it in the affected areas. MonkeyPox has spread to 11 states – Bayelsa, Rivers, Ekiti, Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Ogun, Cross River, and even a case recorded in Kano. So far there have been at least a total of 74 recorded infections.

BattaBox headed to a local Lagos market to see if bush meat is still being sold – as infected meat is often a cause for the spread of the virus. Dried Bush meats – or Tinko – is commonly sold in markets across Nigeria, and we found one such dried bush meat seller in Lagos. The Lagos market trader explains hers is only camel and cow meat – it’s tough meat and tastes sweet.

To control MonkeyPox, early detection is essential, with simple things such as only eating well cooked meat, washing hands, and if you are infected, you should be quarantined and everyone you’ve seen recently should be traced as well.

The typical rashes from MonkeyPox are similar to ChickenPox. But, there is no specific treatment for MonkeyPox, but the symptoms from the viral infection can be treated and managed.

MonkeyPox was discovered in 1958 when an outbreak of the pox occured in the colonies of monkeys kept for research. The first human case was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and since then it has been recorded across Central and West Africa. In 2003 there was an outbreak in the USA and is the only time it has been documented outside of Africa. Yet, still no one knows the reservoir of the virus, although it’s thought to be spread through rodents and rats.

In Nigeria, BattaBox heads to the streets to ask people is they have heard of MonkeyPox and how aware they areof the problem:

“I’ve not heard of it,” explains one woman. “I heard about it on social media but only thought it was one of those exaggerated things.”

“Yes, it is a virus, with rashes, and people who have it should be quarantined,” explains one your Nigerian woman.

Have you heard of MonkeyPox? Are you concerned by its recent spread in Nigeria?

“We get many Swallow in Nigeria, we get Eba, Amala, Semo, and Wheat,” explains Warri Pikin. “But today, we’re looking into Calabar Fufu – very strong Fufu!”

Starches are often called “Swallow” in Nigeria because they are used to accompany soups and other spicy food dishes to help swallow it down. Typical soups are groundnut soup, vegetable, egusi soup, or palm nut soup.

BattaBox visits a Fufu processing factory in Lagos, with piles of cassava, buckets of water, and plantain flour. The process of making the best Nigerian fufu follows some simple steps:

Firstly, peel and soak the cassava tubers in water for at least 3 days. The cassava is then put into a grinding machine and a cassava yeast powder, which is covered in a bucket and left for 30 minutes to rise. The cassava yeast powder is then washed and mixed, and drained. The cassava is then mixed again with water into a white liquid state. After, a wood fire is made, the liquid fufu put into a large metal dish, and cooked, turned, and pounded for 45minutes-1hour. It will then look like the best Nigerian fufu that we all love and know – and packaged for sale and eating!

“The best fufu gives you energry, other fodos do not give energy like fufu,” explains Emmanuel, who has been processing Fufu for 5 years. “That’s why people call fufu – 6 to 6 – because the energy sustains you for 12 hours.”

The peelings and the chaff from the cassava is also used to feed animals.

The fufu is then wrapped is cellophane and sold for 50, 100, or 200 Naira, depending on the size. And the fufu can stay for 2 weeks without getting old.

And then finally, the food is served! And Warri shows us how you roll the best Nigerian fufu with your hands, dip it into the soup – and, you don’t chew, you swallow!

“You just swallow am, you just clear your throat well well!”” explains Warri. “And now my belly don full!”

“We are using the energy of people playing soccer to generate power,” says one of the organizers.

BattaBox presenter Adeola attends the launch of the first ever players power pitch in Africa which took place at the Federal College of Education, Akoka, Lagos.

“The faster you run, the more energy can be created,”

The energy of people dancing, running, driving on the roads etc could create power to light up the roads and various parts of the city.

“You can even charge your phone with it,” says Adeola

The pitch was reconstructed by shell using over 90 underground tiles that capture kinetic energy created by the movement of the players.

This initiative is part of Akon’s commitment to teaching young Africans and Nigerians the importance of harnessing the continents renewable energy.
