I thought the governor said the virus can't enter his state?

In Nigeria, It is totally impossible for Covid to be in all but one or two states. That prof and his yeye friend had been deceiving themselves, and gave their people a false sense of safety.

Another lockdown is not an option o.

Let us better behave ourselves, and respectfully take the measures originally prescribed, to keep safe. Avoid gatherings, and stay at home if possible.
