Lol. It has been revealed that Chloroquine cures Corona virus and now It all makes sense why no African died of the disease.
Nigerian hospitals used to give us that drug like candy, growing up. If you search our systems, I’m sure you’d still find remnants of the drug inside. ?

Who would have thought Chloroquine would be the cure for corona virus?
Well I think Nigerian doctors would have because they’d give you malaria dose first for any sickness you might have.

Chloroquine – a local champion for so many decades, stayed consistent and put in the work despite criticism and ridicule from inside its own country.
Now it has been acknowledged as the savior of the world in the 21st century.
When it’s your time to blow, everyone go need you.
