I don't know what to say anymore 🙄

Medicine after death. When there were calls for central quarantine for returnees from abroad, they won't listen. There won't be need for this today, if common sense was used yesterday.

Pls u people should release them, it's not their fault but HungerPandemic 😒🤷😒

Good job.

instead of government to do the needful, I only urge the NCDCgov to do their job right and let's go back to our hustle, instead of waiting at home for the manner that will never fall.

By the time they reach 2,000, I will see how the judge will sentence them, then i promise the number will continue to increase, would one just be walking about without no reason,
