Custom officers should stop looking out for rice crossing into our dear country & focus on Coronavirus please.🚶🚶🚶

Easy..send a message to the country..any one traveling should be screened ,some say it takes 2 weeks befor symptoms shows..now that can be challenging..we should have centres to quarantine if any suspicious or funny illment on arrival..

This is what the government of Lagos state should be worried about and not TAX or on barn or the other. Fix the roads, send these trucks and barn them for good and not take advantage of lagosians just because you where made governor.

Najib__SA

If Allah wills something must kill someone anyway!!

With on arrive Visa abeg make dem followed north border because na dem enjoyed this government, country money and every thing

It should not come here ooo,we go finish ooo,no capacity to contain it yooooo. China is building 1000 bed hospital in 6 days Abeg God temptation is better with Job oooo

I pray it doesn't find its way into Nigeria,but believe me,there is nothing we Nigerians can't overcome

Come on people, we beat the Ebola epidemic and we can beat this as well. Let's put up the same energy and put all hands on deck.

Can Buhari just close The border

We thought same during ebola period.... That varus lost its value imidiatly it entered just like our currency ☺️☺️... Just allow this wan reach airport it will not agree to enter

ajosebbc Hopefully Buhari goes first 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Same God that save us from Ebola will surely help us with this, depending on the government to do the needful is like waiting to perish ...

yeeeeeee

If this is not a National health Emergency looming!...I don't know what is...

With the public transport system in the country, sending out prayers we are all in it. From Asia to Europe to the Carribbean to the US.

Ok people panic mode.

Make them no come for now o

I tell you! These chinese are just too much here!

Can a inefficient Buhari Stop the Chinese from trooping into NIG with their Coronavirus after he has Pocketed all the Chinese loans? I doubt that.. I Just thank God during the Era of Ebola he wasn't president.

Na our girls go first carry am. Moneyvirus will carry coronavirus. May God save us.

All flights coming from China to Nigeria better be temporarily suspended!!

We’re not done dealing with Lassa fever yet😭

Ban international trips

Oh dear, we're still battling with Lassa.😥

We are doomed. Country with very good medical facility are finding it difficult to contain the virus talk less of us that our medical facility is zero. God please do not forsake us at this trial time.

We've not even dealt with Ebola.

Quarantine them oh. I don’t want trouble.

So Chinese money is sweet but their Coronavirus is not? You have to take the two, you are quick to run to China for loan but u want to deny them now, NO

We are finished

Yesoooo

Close the fuking boarders to the Chinese and Asians, they themselves have locked down their cities. Nigeria does not have what it takes to deal with this problem.

We're in trouble because our poor health services will make sure the virus leaks into Nigeria. Brace yourselves!!
