We can call them demonstrations of good cause by notable humanitarians. What preferred time for this over when the individuals are down on their knees.
The ascent of Coronavirus, with its deadly and guileful crucial, the world by storm. It has been a steady catastrophe, similar to a clock ticking a great many minutes, with sore recollections in its path.
In any event, for Nigerians with about six dead and more than 250 diseases, this is as yet a far off pandemic. In any case, administration calls for vision and capacity to foresee a terrible day.
When the numbers began crawling into the nation, a rundown of well off residents chose to step in with their fortunes.
