My MD is a Christian Nigerian. He is just returning from a month in Nigeria, visiting relatives and giving free medical care to poot Nigerians. Next time I see him, I’ll ask him about this.

BTW, he’s the smartest MD I’ve ever had.

Thank you Pres. Trump for forcing the MSN to at least mention this.
I’m not sure anything will come from this, but good for getting this in the news.

Nigerian government says it isn’t happening. Which means they are OK with it.
