A Nigerian microbiologist has become a trending sensation on social media after making a strong claim.

The lady identified as Gracious vowed not to leave the lab until she finds the cure for coronavirus.

The tweet has now gone viral, amassing over 22 thousand likes and thousands of comments.

Many people might have taken her seriously, but from all indications, she’s only joking. Like one comment on the tweet rightly mentioned, she can’t culture viruses on agar plates.
