NPFL Stars Recount Coronavirus Experiences

“This lockdown experience has been terrible and it was as if we are in jail,” the 23-year-old Mbaoma told reporters. “But staying at home at this period is the best in order to stop the spread of the virus and I can only advise that we just have to cope with the restriction in order to safe our lives.”

“I want to encourage all our fans out there to be strong at this time and be hopeful because this time will pass away; and we will reunite in victory.

“We all have to take precaution and stay safe,” noted Mbaoma who has notched nine goals before the league was suspended after MatchDay 25.
