Frontline comedian, Akpobome Atunyota popularly known as Alibaba has shared his experience with coronavirus via Instagram post on his page, reminding everyone of the need to continue to keep safe as Covid-19 is not a joke or scam as widely speculated by many Nigerians.
In the video, he sympathized with all those who have loved a lost one to the virus and also warned Nigerians about the second wave of Covid that has been reported to be deadlier than the first wave.
Reminding all to continue to wear their masks, he disclosed that he spent his Christmas in hospital and witnessed covid-related deaths.
Admonishing those who believe covid-19 is not real, he advised that people should stay away from people with such mindsets as the virus is very much real.
He wrote:
“Don’t let anyone tell you it’s a scam. I just came out of isolation. Several people died while I was there. Some of my close friends knew and they were very supportive.

COVID is real. Observe all the protocols.

In fact, anyone who says COVID is a scam is a compound idiot and a fool.”
