Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, better known by her stage as Teni, has talked candidly about her experience with malaria.
The “Uyo Meyo” singer posted a video of herself getting medication, including drips and injections, on Instagram on Wednesday.
She disclosed that for two weeks she was weak and unable to eat due to a diagnosis of malaria.
In addition, she jokingly urged the Elegushi of Ikate to deal with the local mosquito problem.
“I was down with malaria. Oba Elegushi, we need to find something to do about the mosquitoes in Ikate,” she said.
“Malaria had me down, I went through a lot. I was down and weak for two weeks. I could not eat so I lost weight.”
She further revealed that despite being unwell, she had to perform in Ondo because she could not issue a refund.
“Amid that, I went to perform in Ondo because who will feed me? I was still dancing and singing because I can’t make a refund. Any money that enters my account doesn’t come back out,” she added.
In the post’s caption, she wrote: “Money Cannot Buy You Healt O Na God!” — making reference to her recently released song.
