Currently treating Covid-19 at home.

Please everyone should take this seriously, it's not a joke. You have better chances of fighting it if your immune system is strong, I'm just 28.

Coronavirus is real guys.
Keep keeping safe.
Continue to #MaskUp


At the very minute of typing this
Over 100 million people have been infected by this deadly virus worldwide

Well over 2.2 Million people have lost their lives to this deadly virus all over the world.

God we will continue to thank you for our lives, the lives of our family , friends, Well-wishers, neighbors and clients.

It will end in praise for us all.

Continue to keep safe and wear your face masks guys.
God gat you.

Covid-19 is just a normal cough, if you catch better sickness like typhoid or serious malaria, you will know that it takes treatment not just strong immune system issue to revive your life back.

Oga your tenure don expire, hand over to the next to act since the presidency is not aware yet.

Opportunity to harass and extort people.
