Abstract
There are about 49 million infections of covid-19 recorded in the world with about 1.24 million deaths and 35 million recoveries. The rate of death is about 3% of the total careers. While efforts are on top gear, unfortunately no vaccines have been approved to prevent it. There are about 63,328 cases in Nigeria, 59,675 recovered and 1,155 have died. About 94% of the fortune across the globe, and businesses in Nigeria has been impacted by COVID-19 disruptions. Under a microscope examination in 1968 a virus was found to have resembled a solar corona, which appears in bright crown-like ring of gasses that circled the sun visible during a solar eclipse and so the name “corona virus”. It is arguable that the existence, contracting, spreading, control and prevention of the virus is determined by socioeconomic and political factors which are more clearly articulated understandably in application of the Marxian perspective. Nonetheless, this pandemic is a revelation of inadequate application of existing scientific knowledge. Considering all results found, following recommendations are adopted to eradicate and prevent COVID 19. The WHO has adopted non pharmaceutical strategies to prevent and control the spread of COVID19. All recommendations of WHO and NCDC must be strictly adhered to particularly social distancing, wear of face mask, regular washing of hands and avoiding large gathering. Shoulder to shoulder congregations as observed in some religious gathering should be discouraged as outlawed crowds. There must be re-intensified fight against corruption to succeed a smooth implementation of all to curb the spread of the pandemic. Efforts must be geared toward ending of capitalism as it is the mother of all crimes and particularly of corruption.
