"If Daddy G.O had said we shouldn't wear mask some of you will still castigate him, he has said wear mask and some people are still insulting him.
"Whether or not you believe coronavirus is real."
@stephen_onovo reacted:
"What has faith got to do with obeying the rules and regulations placed by the government. Is he not a Nigerian living in Nigeria? If you get sense small will you die?
"This is a man with millions of followers, is he supposed to encourage his followers not to protect themselves?"
