The Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, on Friday said that Nigerians will have to learn

He made this declaration while addressing the issue of stigmatiation towards those that have been infected with the coronavirus, especially when a staff of Daar Communications, at the briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, complained that staff and people related to the Chairman and founder of Daar Communications Plc, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, who tested positive for COVID-19, were being stigmatised.According to Dr.

“We are in the beginning of a journey and the most likely scenario is that until we have a vaccine, we will have to learn to live with COVID-19 in our country. So if we start stigmatising each other, I don’t know when it will stop because the same people that are stigmatising one group will end up being infected tomorrow.

“We have to tell ourselves the truth about this and encourage each other that there is no point stigmatising people because all of us are vulnerable to catching the infection. “We can do our best but we must always remember that it is a virus; we cannot build a wall, so anything can still happen despite our best efforts.”

Really? What a statement to make. How about we making a vaccine here also, how we can create our test kits and PPE? Oga o. But there's a sovereign God of all pestilence. If how ever he wants it so, it will be so.and d reverse will be the case.

The kind of statement one makes when they surrender to covid-19

We must learn to be transparent with ourselves too.

True

Emptiness!

By being locked down? So why did they put us through the lockdown only to begin to say the obvious?

Finally..?

Is Covid-19 the new Lagos Lagoon?🙄

We just have to...it has completely changed the way we have lived

I doubt if this man is with his senses
