It's because you care less for the teeming people of this country! If you don't know, you are the most vulnerable to the virus because the poor people of this country are stronger a d tougher than the virus. If it attacks the poor, it will die but you, you'll die!

There should be compulsory quarantine for everybody coming to the country from other nations

In the face of a global health pandemic the best action is national preservation above all else, in whatever form or guise that may be... My question is, what are the pros and cons of this decision as a nation

These goddamn people are playing with the lives of millions of people... I won't be surprised if at the end of the day, they get infected as well

No, it should be enforced

Hmmmmmmmm, think thrice? US seems to have a hindsight!!!

Until things get out of hand

Because Atiku suggested it... This government is full of petty toddlers in adult's clothes

Because our President is an aviation freak. Nonsense

The precautionary ones have taken the wisest approach by restricting movement in and out of their country. I hope this government knows what it's doing.

This one lack common sense. When nations are protecting her citizens. This man is doing the opposite

Explain to us also why buhari has not travel since? Since no travel ban he should go for economy meetings, don't you think so?
