Following this curve, Nigeria is going to hit 1000 COVID-19 cases in the next 24 hours. However, we cannot entirely work on the figures released by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) because only about 8,000 people have been tested so far in the country of 200 million population.

Tension has grown on social media following the figure confirming 981 cases in the country as of Thursday, April 23, 2020. Some reactions below;

If you don't stay at home, and you get the Corona Virus. If you die, you wouldn't have a befitting burial. And you'll go to Hades. Cos that's suicide.

Guys let’s ignore the 78 in Lagos for now
Focus on the Deaths
A month ago we had only one or two deaths. Looking at the stat now, the death case has increased to 31.
31 PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DEAD.
