While many affected nations and other parts of the world have wondered how Nigeria, in spite of its humongous challenges, has been able to curb the spread of the virus, many Nigerians like....
this corn-seller serve as an example of how to be extremely careful and vigilant, factors which helped the country to get rid of the virus.
