A chart recently released by the World Health Organisation (WHO), has it that Nigeria is among the six African countries with the highest cases of coronavirus on a global scale.

According to the organization, the West Africa country’s case rose rapidly from one to over 80 cases in less than a month.

The data made available to the public by WHO disclosed that Nigeria ranked sixth African country with exploding cases of the novel pandemic, which has infected over 400,000 people globally with over 25,000 deaths recorded so far.

The African populous nation emerged sixth on the table with 81 cases, and one death recorded so far since her first case was recorded in late February 2020.

In the order of first, second, third, fourth, and fifth places, countries that top the list are – South Africa with 927 cases and two deaths; Algeria with 305 cases with 21 deaths, Burkina Faso with 146 and three deaths, Ghana with 132 and three deaths, and Senegal with 105 with no death.

Over 600,000 cases of the novel coronavirus have so far been recorded around the world.

Meanwhile, Oyo and Enugu states have started a lockdown curfew following new confirmed cases in the states. While the Oyo state Governor, Seyi Makinde has banned all inter-states transportation, shuts markets and restricted gatherings to not more than 10 persons, the Enugu state government has done the same, shutting all markets except the ones that sell food and drugs.

    Which way Nigeria so says Sunny Okosun. Years after his death Nigerian leaders are still grappling with answers as a toddler struggles with feeding bottle. Big shame.

    I feel Nigerian government should follow the good proactive steps taken by the United States of America by reaching out to the people directly .
    We shout not prioritise it to meet the interests of the top class in Nigeria
    We have all seen the effects is selective treatment abroad at expense of the teaming masses of Nigeria by having our medical infrastructures to rust away as mere consulting dispensaries .

      Meanwhile, your information is just plain wrong, as the WHO Africa tracker shows Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritius, Cameroon, and Cote D’Ivoire, each with higher numbers of confirmed cases than Nigeria. In fact, Nigeria is not in the Top 10 (being currently in 11th).

        Don’t mind them. Their plans will never materialise. Very poor analysis indeed coming from the Worst Health Organisation. Yes, Worst. Ask Trump.

    Why didint donors like 2face, Dangote etc didnt go to their local governments or state to supervise the distribution of the palliatives. To the people that collected the money they dont see the effect of covid 19, as any thing. To them it is just another national cake – oil money.
