The confirmed case is suspected to have been infected while driving an American Caucasian, male, 27 years old, who was visiting Nigeria from Richmond, Virginia, USA in the company of his caregiver, a Nigerian female Age 31, of Ekiti origin.

I find this instruction as reported by @GuardianNigeria very heartwarming. bit.ly/2VCUo3k

It is a good move and shows that we have competent, thinking people, handling the health side of #coronavirusnigeria, not kneejerk reactions like the #Algeria.
The Algerians in deporting the sick Italian have not only shown an inhumane side, they risk a diplomatic incident.

I'm quietly confident that #Nigeria can handle this.
At the risk of American style chest-thumping, #Nigerian handled the 2013-2016 Ebola outbreak effectively and was able to limit the number of infections to 20 people, with 8 deaths.

The skills in terms of contact tracing, quarantining and treatment are still here.

Now that Nigeria has had her first confirmed case of the Corona Virus infestation, via a citizen of Italy, who visited Lagos and Ogun states, I would want to offer my patriotic counsel to the government of General @MBuhari, on how best to tackle this issue. #coronavirusnigeria
We must call upon our experience with the Wild Ebola Virus, of which we were the first nation in the world to defeat that scourge in 2014. How did Nigeria do it? We achieved it by showing unprecedented unity.
The federal government of the day worked closely with the Lagos and Rivers state governments. There was complete unity, solidarity and oneness of purpose, which created the atmosphere that defeated that deadly infestation.

Below are 5 things you shouldn't believe about Coronavirus...
1. The Coronavirus is the Most Dangerous Virus

This is absolutely untrue. Viruses like d Ebola virus and & Lassa fever are way more deadly and dangerous! Those 2 viruses have 90% and 50% death rate respectively while the COVID-19 has just a 2% death rate.
