Nigerian professor decries killing malaria infecting insects
According to him, mosquitoes are misunderstood by human beings because of the disease they transmit:“Human life is beset with inevitable associations with insects that have over the years influenced human destiny positively and negatively. Negative influences, such a disease transmission, crop losses, food spoilage, economic losses and nuisance value caused by less than 5 per cent of insect species have been exaggerated by man."“In the actual sense, mosquitoes are equally sick but inadvertently and unwillingly convey pathogens that are the real causal agents of these diseases. The female mosquito could be described as an example of a true mother who is forced to undertake kill herself in its bid to provide for its unborn children. The adult female mosquitoes have exceptional value for child raising hence the level of commitment and risk they take on the mission that entails decision between lifeand death. The after effect of this commitment is a well thought out plan thatforestalls most of the factors that may standin the way of raising good children. “
"I am sure most human females will not take comparable decision in the face of similar attendant risks. It is however certainthat children born after well thought-out and risky conditions are better posited for quality living than those produced carelessly."
