Mrs Nnamoko said she felt embarrassed by what happened in the market, but that the incident underscores the urgent need for sensitisation about the coronavirus.

She said the traders dismissed the coronavirus pandemic as “oyinbo illness or some infection that is only common among “big people”.

“My God, I felt like picking up a megaphone too,” she said, “to enlighten these people about coronavirus.” The government at the state and local levels, she said, should get into markets immediately nationwide and start talking to traders about the impact of the virus and how to prevent it.Confirmed cases of the virus have so far risen to 46 in Nigeria on Wednesday morning.

I was also taunted within Abuja, Wuse to be precise just this monday. Ignorance is the order of the day
