Coronavirus: Woman says she was taunted in Aba market for wearing face mask

She said the traders dismissed the coronavirus pandemic as “oyinbo illness or some infection that is only common among “big people”.

“My God, I felt like picking up a megaphone too,” she said, “to enlighten these people about coronavirus.” The government at the state and local levels, she said, should get into markets immediately nationwide and start talking to traders about the impact of the virus and how to prevent it.Confirmed cases of the virus have so far risen to 46 in Nigeria on Wednesday morning.

I think the education on social media is not so effective to the grass root unless we become 'extension officers' as it were....

How can people still be so ignorant even at this heated moment. Omg. Are they ignorant or just no wanting to oblige to instructions. Nawa ooooo. It's so appalling

They actually deserve Ikpeazu.

.... again were is NOA?

I was also taunted within Abuja, Wuse to be precise just this monday. Ignorance is the order of the day

I don't know many Nigerians are not taken this seriously and what is the government doing about this?
