Religious Recklessness And Ignorance In The Face Of COVID-19
Seeing some people going to church today, I felt like flogging them. But I am totally against that and can never support such. Going to a worship center to flog people will as well spread the Covid-19 through scampering of people.
Those saying that Covid-19 is for rich people should have a rethink. Yes, non of your generation might be in abroad, but you never can tell whom you met in that bus, Keke and market.
There are a million ways this virus can get to the poorest of the poor. Saying it isn't for the poor is a feel good statement that doesn't hold water.
You don't know who will be sitting next to you in a church programme, market or bar. Where he came frome or who he or she visited is what you can't tell.
A poor student might have flew into Abuja to meet a sugar daddy who just returned from London. You never can tell.
This is exactly why social distancing is the key.
Stay away from your circle for at least two weeks. Remember that Nigeria has limited testing equipment due to the failure of Nigeria politicians. Without prompt testing, we are doomed. So it is better we take social distancing seriously, as to avoid spreading this virus.
The evacuation of Americans and European citizens from Nigeria shows that they are foreseeing what is coming. Danger looms.
Only us can save ourselves. Not the government, but us.
Advice people around you properly. Anyone still going to church is an idiot. The pastor or priest administering to them is a fool.
I recommend him for arrest and quarantining.
