The governor of Oyo State Seyi Makinde who was reported to be positive for coronavirus last week has shared his experience and revealed exactly what he took to ease off the virus from his system which is Blackseed oil. On Monday this week, he announced that he had become negative after a series of tests. The governor said he only made efforts to spice up his immunity and used his time in isolation to exercise on the treadmill regularly.

Makinde said in boosting his immunity to fight coronavirus, and he consumed vitamin C, carrots, and black seed oil mixed with honey.

He said:
“My excellent friend and brother, Dr. Muyideen Olatunji, is that the one responsible for the first healthcare for Oyo State. He came to me and said, look, I am going to send you this black seed oil. It boosts immunity. So, I mixed it with honey and took one teaspoon within the morning and one within the evening. So, there are local solutions to spice up immunity.

Our people should not panic; even as I have been ready to get the virus out off my system, so will it is for the majority of our people.

“I’ve lost a little bit of weight which I think is good. When you’re in isolation, the tendency is just to watch television and eat, I was eating amala. But I was also using the treadmill. It has also been a
period to reflect and look at the programs, policies and the things we
want to do for the people of Oyo state and also reflect on how the
COVID-19 is going to affect us socially and economically.”

He faulted the Federal Government’s palliative measures in the state, saying;

“Two days ago in the task force meeting, the Head of Service told me that the conditional cash transfer from the Federal Government would be N20, 000 to people in 10 local government areas of Oyo State and I said, it’s good, but this program predates this administration and I’ve never been impressed for one day about the way they identified the poorest and the impact.

“They’ve been making noise in the newspapers that they have some items for us. So, I sent the people at the liaison office. The first day at the Nigerian Governors’ Forums’ meeting, I was told those items were taken to liaison offices. So, I called the liaison office in Abuja and asked, did you receive anything, but they said no.”
