This is serious. God save us all.

This is no funny

omon24: This is serious. God save us all.

And how did he get into the country. The passengers in the plane he boarded to nigeria, the taxi he entered, the people at the airport are all in danger of being affected already. When a finger touches oil, it easily reaches others.

When Fashola wanted to act by destroying slums like makoko ,they called him names.they said that he wasn't fair to the poor,he is elitist etc.
Only in Nigeria would making a place liveable be considered elitist .
All those shacks,room me I room you ,kiss me I kiss you buss rides are coming home to roost.
I hope you people realise what is about to hit you.
The bad effects of instant gratification.
Eat today in order to lose tomorrow.

So sad. Lagos state government should keep him under serious quarantine for now. Hope it hasn't spread. God rest his soul. And God help us.
