This was said by, Sun Yanrong, deputy head of the China National Center for Biotechnology Development under the Ministry of Science and Technology, at a press conference.

Who would have ever thought that Chloroquine, of all drugs, would be the anti-viral drug for Coronavirus. Those medical researchers deserve a medal.

So Chloroquine that was banned in Nigeria is now the cure for Corona Virus. Someone somewhere on the globe is praying the virus gets into Nigeria so that he/she can make money from importations because Nigeria is a good target market for importers. Your wish won't come true. Amen

Lol. It has been revealed that Chloroquine cures Corona virus and now It all makes sense why no African died of the disease.

Nigerian hospitals used to give us that drug like candy, growing up. If you search our systems, I'm sure you'd still find remnants of the drug inside. 😂

It is interesting to know that Chloroquine phosphate that used to itch our body back in those days, has proven effective in treating coronavirus #COVID19 and shows positive clinical effects. The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.

Who would have thought Chloroquine would be the cure for corona virus?

Well I think Nigerian doctors would have because they’d give you malaria dose first for any sickness you might have.

People that said Nigeria doctors will contain and find the cure for coronavirus if it gets to Nigeria didn't lie after all, because I am very sure, one doctor will definitely add chloroquine to the an infected person's medication for sure 😂

Chloroquine - a local champion for so many decades, stayed consistent and put in the work despite criticism and ridicule from inside its own country.

Now it has been acknowledged as the savior of the world in the 21st century.

When it’s your time to blow, everyone go need you.
