what's the Nigerian immigration doing?

Hmmmmm Na wa o

I'm practically starved of good news coming from Nigeria.

Effective containment of this virus would be a fantastic bit to start with as it has the ability to

snowball into a mind numbing epidemic in Nigeria if a lid is not kept on it.

Needless to say visitors from other afflicted countries should be quarantined. That's obvious.

May God help the country in conquering its demons.
