Nigeria, being the big brother to these other nations should be in the fore front of growing her economy amidst the covid crisis.

Nigeria should show example to others on how to maneuver their way through this. How to open schools, airports, hotels, churches etc.

It is a pity that smaller countries are taking the initiative while our leaders are still lost on what to do. They are not even learning.

Opening schools is not a big issue. Ensuring safety is not a big issue.

China is already profiling individual citizens of her country. Nigeria cannot even coordinate a safe gathering of people. Pity.

We need thinkers in government. Am now beginning to see the reason for the call for young minds in the healm of affairs.
Long overdue.

Amidst rise in New Corona cases, they are still trying to find a way.

Nigeria on the disgraceful hand is throwing 2021 into the narrative. Big disgrace of a country.

A minister of education can not educate himself enough on how to deal with issues like this and is trying to drag the entire country down to the level of his ignorance.

Voting on party lines is bad for us as a nation. Smart individuals do not seem to get their way to the top of the two major parties in the country presently.

God, we need your help. Even Lagos state is not left out.

Every country must evaluate their situation critically to come out successful.
