Coronavirus : Church Members Defy Govt's. Order, Attend Church Service In Ebonyi State


By Wisdom Nwedene, Abakaliki

Despite the order from Ebonyi State Government that schools, tertiary institutions, and churches should close in order to curtail the spread of the deadly Coronavirus, members of different church denominations on Sunday attended mass service in the State.


Igbere TV correspondent who monitored how the order will be obeyed in Ebonyi State reports that the church members defied the order, while some insist that coronavirus has not entered Nigeria, others said that God will not allow them to contact the disease.


Speaking with Igbere TV correspondent, a member of a Catholic Church said "yes, we heard about the disease but I strongly believe that God will not allow me to contact the disease. So, that's why I attended church today. We need to fight the disease spiritually and physical".


Another member said "This is the first time I heard that the disease has entered Nigeria. I don't even know what the disease is all about. In all, we need to give God praise."


Igbere TV recalls that on Saturday, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) confirmed 10 (ten) new cases of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Nigeria.

The ministry made the announcement via a release signed by the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire.

According to the ministry, there are three new cases in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and seven new cases in Lagos State.


This brings the total number of confirmed cases in Nigeria to 22.


However, the disease has not entered Ebonyi State but in a bid to curb the spread of the disease, Governor David Nweze Umahi ordered Ebonyians to avoid gatherings of more than 50 persons.

My Health is my wealth, if that's not your case, sorry is your Surname

This whole coronahoax is just a test run to see what they can get away with. Judging by the peoples reactions so far....the deep state has us by the short and curlies. And they know it.

ever heard of H1N1. It was 100 times worse and no one noticed. This virus is real but the severity of the situation has been blown way out of proportion for political reasons. The constitution was too much trouble and needed to be scrapped. They have succeeded.

Crazy world we are living in right now. Almost makes you wonder if something else isn’t brewing while everyone is preoccupied with this Coronavirus. �

Stupid set of people, I'm a Christian but won't expose myself.. Look at the pastor distance,,,and look at the crowded members.. Maybe this foolish set of people do not know the risk they're putting their self into.

The dead tolls in Italy too is hoax abi, I hear u. Expose your self to the virus first

Nigerians and religion are very inseparable. Even the Pope celebrated mass alone! Fvck religious Christians.

We too dey carry religion on top our head as if say na we holy pass for this world!

Nigerians wetin happen sef! Y we no dey hear words! If dey no go church today, does it make dem sinners ni!!!!?


Hopefully we don't get to a stage when everyone will be regretting how little we are paying attention to details & health advices as at now.

Pastors care more about the money they make.

You are right. Virtually everyone understands the severity of this noble virus but the mode of contraction is what giving the word concerned that WHO has to term it pandemic

Anybody wey no hear word, once infected should be sent to the pastors house instead wasting government fund him
