It will amaze Nigerians that the Zika Virus causing the retarded development of the brains of new born babies in South America has been living with us over the years. Twenty Five percent of Nigeria’s population have tested positive to the dreaded Zika virus currently ravaging the South American continent, according to the Daily Sun. The Minister of Health Prof. Isaac Folorunso Adewole who made the revelation while defending the 2016 budget of the Ministry of Health said the virus is not taken serious because Nigeria is not interested in it. He said: “I want to say that Zika has been with us since 1954. About 25% of Nigerians are positive to Zika virus but what has happened is that it has done nothing to us.”’
