Ace comedian, Atunyota Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba has shared his Covid-19 experience, revealing that he spent the Christmas and New Year celebration in isolation.
Alibaba, who just recovered from the virus, shared his experience on his instagram page, just as he warned Nigerians against joking with it, noting that it was fast killing people including the rich and the poor.
According to him, he saw many patients die at the Covid-19 Center in Yaba area of Lagos, where he also received treatment before testing negative to the disease.
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.
“I thank the Lagos State governor @jidesanwoolu and the commissioner for health, the MD of the COVID CENTRE in YABA, the Doctors, especially Dr. Nifemi, who are risking their lives to keep us alive. Thanks to all the nurses.
“I want to thank @gbengaadeyinka1stgcon… you are a good friend. @margaretorakwusi @maryamuwai @itsifeanyi and friends to go checked up on me.
“COVID is real. Observe all the protocols. People are dying. And it’s not a joke. In fact, anyone who says COVID is a scam is a compound idiot and a fool.”
