Any wise individual will take all precautionary measures regardless of what position any government is claiming, or what the public perception generally is. Afterall if unfortunately you contract it, you will be left to battle through your recovery all alone. The argument on whether there are cases in all Nigerian states or if the virus in Nigeria is a scam or not are irrelevant

other countries are arguing of way out. We over here are arguing whether or not it's in Nigeria

But Cross Rivers is the only state without a positive case of covid19 according to NCDC updates.

We await the covid19 update tonight
