How did we miss Atiku as president…
Very honest man— Professional beggar (@Sheddi_younG) March 22, 2020
This is getting spiral out of control. Buhari should have put Nigeria on lockdown 2 weeks ago but he did nothing.
He isn’t even aware there’s such thing called Covikk one nine virus. Now Nigeria may have to grapple with an epidemic far worse than what Italy is going through.🙏🙏

Even after seeing the atiku’s son News Today, BRT buses will be filled to the brim as people struggle to get to work.
Molue buses will exhibit its usual characteristics of 30 sitting, 70 standing.
Lagos life will likely continue like there’s no ticking time bomb on our hands.

Chai, this man. Your kind of person and openness is out of this world.
Buhari can never do this. Even the media that reported the case of one of his daughters been quarantined faced a lot of backlash from presidency.
