There is no point stressing yourself about COVID-19 if you live in Nigeria. We have no real preventative capacity (all this "close the border" talk is hilarious), and we have neither the healthcare infrastructure nor the money to handle an outbreak.

Calm down.
If it hasn't been here already, it will either slide past like EVD did, or decimate us. We're spectators either way. Losing our collective shit on social media really isn't going to change anything.

Eat a nice meal and keep calm. This one is not in our hands.
All this "ban flights" this and "close border" that is emotional talk to make ourselves feel better. I can stroll into Benin Republic and back from my land in Badagry.

Border? What border?😏

Alaye be cool. This is Lagos, not Memphis. Drink water and be happy😊
We watch so much CNN and Sky News that we've apparently forgotten where we are.

Imagine talking with a straight face about lockdowns and social exclusions in a $2,000 PCGDP country. You want people to starve and riot?😄

Put off the TV and look outside ogbeni.
The countries doing lockdowns are the countries whose governments are paying residents $1,000 and canceling their bills during the lockdowns.

Here, your state government is doing "Alaye enu gbe" and tweeting account details as its disaster response.

We're not the same lol
