I'm worried at the rate at which western countries are evaluating their citizens from Nigeria.
Last week France evacuated her citizens from Nigeria.

Yesterday Israel evacuated their citizens.
The same yesterday a chartered flight arrived to Evacuate American citizens out of Nigeria?

Germany is planning to evacuate all of her citizens out of Nigeria within the next few days.
You may call me alarmist if you like but I suspect that these western countries must have seen that there's a great danger ahead. They know that we can't handle what's coming. If this virus gets to the rural areas it's gonna be a TSUNAMI. May God help us

see question

if western countries with advanced healthcare system are struggling to cope how do you think Nigeria will fare?

its ONLY God that will avert a full-on disaster

How are you preparing for this lockdown. I have got food stuff, filled my gas, subscribed my GOTV and also bought petrol because of epileptic power supply.

Like I read in the news, lockdown in Europe means you can't step out of your door, so what will happen when those food stuff, petrol and other essentials finish? Also what about those that stay in ghettos that don't have the basic needs at home like water?

Nigerians! How prepared are you for this?

Kanu Nwankwo’s Son Sean Living Up To His Father’s Football Legacy

The saying that the apple doesn’t fall from the tree comes to life in the case of Kanu Nwankwo and his 15-year-old son. Sean Nwankwo currently plays for the U16 Watford team and has already been likened to his father but with more pace and skills. His dad Kanu was a former Super Eagles captain winning just one silver at 2000 AFCON championship. Even though the legend Kanu Nwankwo retired from active football in 2012 and the 43-year-old left a legacy on the pitch to carry on with his good works.

I hope he lives up to his father's name

A person's blood type may make them more susceptible to catching the novel coronavirus spreading around the world, a new study claims.
The research states people with type A blood are significantly more likely to catch the virus than an individual with type O blood.

It also appears people with type A blood are more likely to die from COVID-19.
The controversial research has yet to be scrutinised by other academics and the Chinese researchers are unable to explain why infection varies by blood type.
