Nigerian singer Simi says that the initiative to spread calm while countries battle the coronavirus mat not help in the education.
According to her, the only language people in her country know aside religion is fear.
"If they insist on going to church, show them the stories of churches abroad where the virus spread. These religious heads need to start being more responsible."
"Don’t spread fear, they said. At this point, we might need to change that strategy because the only thing Nigerians respect more than religion is fear. Everything needs to shut be down. Not later. Now!" she wrote on Twitter.
