Share
Mazi, you dey outside? Wetin you dey do here? Abi you never hear say government say make we no commot from house. Abi you sef wan buy Chloroquine?

Egbon, first of all wetin you dey do outside yourself and government no talk say make people no commot from house. No be wetin government talk be that. Them talk say schools and social gatherings should be cancelled, dem no talk say people no fit commot from house; e never reach that level and e no go ever reach that level for  this country

Amin!! Amin! Because ehn, I no go lie; before wen this thing first start fear no catch me at all but with all the things wey dey happen so fear don dey catch me small small.

But you know say NCDC talk say no case of corona virus dey Abuja and that na good news

Enh, e be good news but as long as the virus dey this country; e mean say e fit still enter Abuja. To be honest enh, I even dey surprised say the thing never reach Abuja

Even me sef but e good as e never reach o because I no know wetin I go do if e reach this town. The things wey government dey do now na the way to go

Yes. Closing of schools and religious gatherings

But people go hear word? Dem go still go church

If church dey, closed you go go? That one na the job of the pastor to tell en members to watch service from home especially all these big big churches

I even hear say El Rufai tell all muslims to suspend prayers wey dem go have to pray with other people for mosque

Hmmm, no be small thing o. Even Waec sef, dem don postpone am and all CDS related activities relating to NYSC corpse members dem don stop am for now

That one better now, I pray say very very soon dem go gain control of this virus

You hear say  Chloroquine dey cure corona virus?

I hear am but the thing be say dem never verify am o. no go dey drink Chloroquine for no reason; na trial dem still dey do

Hmmm, this thing wey you talk so; na pharmacists you go tell because people don dey rush go chloroquine anyhow and the price don double

Na wa o. na our Nigerian way be that; instead of people to verify something before action, na to take action before verification.

My brother, no be so dem do for that Ebola time wey people dey drink salt saytay the salt kill dem

And na so Lagos talk now say dem don dey receive patients for lagos hospitals with Chloroquine poisoning. People don dey drink chloroquine like paracetamol

Na wa o. from one wahala to the other. My country people if you get any symptoms like corona virus no go dey drink chloroquine anyhow oo. First go hospital make dem test you and confirm say na corona virus true true na em you get.

For this crucial time self-medication no be the way ooo.

At all oo. If you start to dey self-medicate; you fit create another problem for yourself. The fact say government approve the production of chloroquine no mean say make you sef go buy am dey drink for house

Government and health workers no how dem dey use am treat corona virus and the dosage wey the different body type suppose take

Exactly. Mazi, you don full you house with food stuff in case government come talk say make we no leave house?

Na em me and my wife wan do today o

Even me sef, make I even come dey go.

Alright.
