Nollywood actress, Beverly Naya has reacted to a stay-at-home advice to Nigerians to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country.
Reacting to the advice from the Director of Public Policy Initiative at Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Foundation, Amara Nwankpa, who advised the Federal Government to declare work free days and encourage stay at home, Beverly Naya wondered how low-income earners can be convinced that staying at home could save their lives when hunger and poverty give them stress on a daily basis.
She tweeted “Who will support the low-income earners while at home? How can they possibly be convinced that staying at home could save their lives when hunger and poverty give them stress on a daily basis. They will definitely be needing financial assistance, I hope FG realises this.
The sooner we realise that living in Lala land is not what will protect us, the better for everyone. Everyone needs to be on their toes so people can take this pandemic seriously! The more information we have, the better prepared we’ll be to protect ourselves and our loved ones.”
