You must be one of the enemies of Nigeria to have replied me. We have noticed you now.

Another lockdown and money siphoning loading.
Another lockdown and stomach rumbling for the citizens.

Uptill now, no one has come out to say that his/her family member was affected by covid.
Those on tv capping are just poor sicken people who do not see anything wrong wishing evil upon themselves all because of the peanut presented to them by the government.

With your mind made up, I doubt you'd ever believe anything about COVID. What if I told you I had COVID? Will it matter? Or you'd ask for my test result?

Just know that diseases are real, and outbreaks are real too. Just be safe.

Anthrax vs HIV...

Only known by those who knew.
