It was a shocking and yet right move when the FG banned all gathering of over fifty persons, and then emphasized that social distancing be held with utmost importance. Its statement were glaring, maybe perhaps the one not too clear,

was the virus getting another name, courtesy Mr. President. That now is water under the bridge as the pandemic has pitched its tent in almost twenty states of the country, and as such lockdown to curb the spread of this virus.

While complementing the FG on one hand, the other must not be held back or tied, if it feels the FG deserves knocks on the head. The virus broke out in China, and became a global pandemic when it left the Asian continent to Europe, Africa and America.

Even the WHO gave a stern warning, some days before the virus set foot in Nigeria, that “nations should brace up, as the pandemic was going to spread in the coming weeks ".
