That's what the Government wants so they can embezzle more funds in fighting it... And gain sympathy from the rest of the world....

It's now Survival of the fittest....

It's shocking when my neighbour insisted yesterday that Corona virus doesn't exist in Nigeria. I just shook my head in disbelief

Audio increment.

The states are just sharing what they could have diverted into health sector.
When the figure now start to rise in reality, they start appealing to religious leaders, and those foreign organizations.

As if we predicted right that this people will hardly observe W.H.O recommendations on Social distancing, sanitizing of hands etc. due to their care free attitude. Kano is aggressively moving to the 1st Position of the COVID table. Sai Kano... The aspiring New York of Africa.

Another lockdown looming if these numbers keep rising

This pandemic make me know say we get too many Thomas for this country.

The going to school doesn't make you sensible.

That you hold PhD doesn't necessarily make you literate.

...reminds me of one pastor that boldly said covid is 5g...you sometimes wonder if they sniff coca before saying these things, even with prominent people are dying here and there some would still be doubting.

Scientist have a discovered vaccine in kano that convert covid-19 to malaria.
