Why you should never live in a house with molds

Rainy season is sweet, everything is fresh, green, and cool. But this same rain is quietly killing people in slow motion.

 How? Mould.

That black, green, or white patch on your wall, that damp smell in your wardrobe, that slimy corner in your bathroom, it’s not just “dirty,” it’s dangerous. 

Mould is alive. It breathes. It multiplies. It releases spores into the air that enter your nose, your lungs, your bloodstream. 

And your body begins to carry a burden you don’t even understand.

You think it’s just catarrh that won’t go, or malaria that keeps coming back, or “spiritual attack” causing constant tiredness, headache, and chest tightness. 

But no, sometimes it’s your environment poisoning you.

Mould can:

— Weaken your immune system.

— Trigger asthma and chronic cough.

— Mess with your brain, causing brain fog and memory issues.

— Destroy your gut balance and make you crave junk.

— Even weaken your liver and kidneys silently.

The problem is Nigerians love to ignore the “little things.” We pack clothes inside damp wardrobes. 

We dry clothes in a room without sun. 

We allow leaking roofs. 

We inhale mould every day but call it “ordinary smell.”

This rainy season, open your eyes. 

Check your walls. 

Check your wardrobe. 

Check your ceiling. 

If you see mould—wash it off with vinegar or any chemical strong enough to kill it. 

Air your rooms. Let light enter. Sun your clothes often.

Because mould is not ordinary. 

It is slow poison. 

And the worst part? 

Your children breathe it too.

This season, protect your home, protect your lungs, protect your life.

Let me ask you this.

Do you have mould in your house right now, and have you noticed how it affects your breathing or sleep?
