Good!
Since the Nigeria has refused to help herself by doing the needful, let the world continue to her like a trash.

stupid and useless Angola

This what a good country should do

Nigeria? We shouldn't be on that list because only few cases have been confirmed. Rather than ban, why not take scrutiny measures and quarantine travellers?

But then, seems every country is using Nigeria to shine these days!
