You're watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
The coastal city of Lagos is the most populous place in Nigeria, 00:00:04
if not in all of Africa. 00:00:09
When Nigeria uncovered its first human case of avian influenza, 00:00:12
it struck here. 00:00:17
In December 2006, 00:00:20
a housewife bought some chickens in a market like this. 00:00:23
Three weeks later, a 22-year-old daughter died of the disease. 00:00:28
Prior to this first human casualty, 00:00:35
outbreaks among poultry have also been reported throughout Nigeria, 00:00:38
causing widespread panic and economic loss. 00:00:44
Before the rumor of bird flu came out saying that people shouldn't eat chicken, 00:00:50
I would normally sell 40 to 60 birds within a week. 00:00:54
But now I only sell 10 in two to three weeks. 00:00:57
By handling live birds daily, slaughtering and plucking them, 00:01:02
poultry sellers like these are putting themselves at high risk. 00:01:07
The unsanitary conditions also threaten the well-being of children. 00:01:14
Brought to the cramped market by their mothers who work here, 00:01:19
they often nap or play close to the bird cages. 00:01:23
This announcer from the Lagos local government 00:01:30
is asking the vendors and shoppers in the market 00:01:33
to come to a bird flu awareness meeting. 00:01:37
Quarrels break out when he runs into the poultry sellers. 00:01:40
Many are still in denial. 00:01:45
As you can see, people are buying chickens and slaughtering them for eating. 00:01:49
The bird flu you are talking about does not concern us here. 00:01:54
After intense persuasion, some of the women from the market come to the meeting. 00:01:59
Together with other women representing different communities, 00:02:05
they learn what bird flu is and how to protect themselves and their families. 00:02:09
Before, I thought that the bird flu campaign was a way to ruin our business. 00:02:19
But now that I've come to this meeting, I know what it is. 00:02:23
Now, all that we ought to do about cleanliness and hygiene, we will do. 00:02:26
With funding provided by the Japanese government, 00:02:30
UNICEF is committed to helping Nigeria halt the spread of avian influenza. 00:02:34
The work will continue till the entire public is educated and empowered, 00:02:40
knowing what precautions they can take against this deadly threat. 00:02:47
In Lagos, Nigeria, this is Kunli reporting for UNICEF Television. 00:02:55
Unite for Children. 00:03:01
