By: Dupe Kuku “Tolotolo! Lenge lenge! Legginus Oluwaclaire!” A chorus of chuckles followed. The Menace was a beloved nuisance. Irreverent and witty, the triad jested about everyone who walked past.

We call it a pandemic because millions of people all over the world are infected. Moreso, they do not get tested to know.
