It's bad no doubt, but when considered on a per capita basis, we are actually a lot better than other countries
Re: Nigeria Leads West Africa In Coronavirus Cases by Nobody: 12:27pm On May 03, 2020
How exactly do we expect to fare when Nigeria is the biggest black nation on earth with one of the highest poverty rate in the world and unhealthy and unfeasible congested States like Lagos, Kano etal?

Covid-19 reality of Nigeria is not only related to leadership failure. It is also an indictment of how we were all living before now and doing what is wrong for Nigeria in the long term. All in all, I think Nigeria is doing as well as can be expected all things taken into account.
Re: Nigeria Leads West Africa In Coronavirus Cases by Nobody: 1:39pm On May 03, 2020
As expected
We lead in everything as far as West Africa is concerned
Re: Nigeria Leads West Africa In Coronavirus Cases by Day169: 2:01pm On May 03, 2020
It was just a matter of time, in similar fashion to how the USA now dominates the world with the scourge!
Now with Kano fast becoming the new epicentre, we seem to be in for a long ride. undecided

Bro don't believe some of these African countries

Most of them don't test much as well

I believe only Ghana is a great example of a proactive country as regards to Corona virus in West Africa
