In Nigeria, an uneducated illiterate knows how to treat malaria.

Majority do not go to the doctor for malaria symptoms.
If you complain of feeling ill, even the gateman will tell you to go to the chemist and buy malaria tablets.

Prescriptions are not needed, just walk in and buy.
Some quacks that own drug shops will mix different kinds of pain relievers and they keep ingesting. Damaging the liver pill after pill 🤦🏽‍♂️

Nigerians and doing things upside down 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
