Nigerians who accused the government of not being transparent with the novel coronavirus pandemic have taken to Twitter with #EndCovidScamNow to protest the handling of the virus in the country.
The federal government through the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control have continued to release figures of people they claim have been infected with the coronavirus without showing their faces.
Nigerians who are not happy how the virus is being handled differently from what is obtainable in other places have accused the government of foul play.
Also, some patients who were said to have tested positive have also accused the government of failing to show them their test results, for which an index case from Benue state declared positive by the government has threatened to go to court after staying in an isolation centre for more than 30 days without showing any symptoms of the virus.
Nigerians on Twitter are now doubting if the numbers by NCDC are made up by the government in order to continue to get contributions which they claim end up being siphoned by unscrupulous elements in government.

Mind you! All those donations u see today, that money is not for COVID-19. Those companies are indirectly scratching Government back and will soon expect them to scratch theirs in return… That's a long term investment! #EndCovidScamNow pic.twitter.com/I2Iw0tlZdL

Many people live in Ogun State but work in Lagos yet Ogun active COVID19 number is 78 while Lagos is claiming 2030 active case. Where is Lagos getting all these numbers from. I want to know.#EndCovidScamNow #EndCovidScamNow

The many people that died mysteriously in Kano and it was later discovered to be Covid-19 related, why hasn't NCDC added it to their Covid-19 death toll data ?— Son of Methuselah (@EjikeEmmanuel18) May 19, 2020
The difference is ear. We are experiencing Fraud-19 in Nigeria. It's so painful that the government only care about themselves and not the masses. We are suffering and still yet they don't care to add more to that suffering.#EndCovidScamNow #tiktokexposed Trump pic.twitter.com/Y4Xull3Rtv

NCDC should talk to Nigerians because gradually Nigerians are beginning to doubt #COVID19 in Nigeria. Bars, hotels, markets, salon, supermarkets are functioning normal in FCT.
