American Gospel artiste of Ghanaian origin, Sonnie Badu has vehemently disagreed with the World Health Organizations’ (WHO) prediction of the African continent being badly affected by the Coronavirus pandemic in the coming weeks due to inadequate infrastructures.

The role of being the pandemic epicenter has shifted from major countries over the past few months, with China being the original epicentre in December, 2019.

The (WHO) has now made a statement that Africa could become the next hotspot of the coronavirus outbreak due to inadequate infrastructures yet Sonnie Badu who, a UN Ambassador of Sacred Music stated, "Africa will not see 3.3 million deaths and 1.2 billion infections. Your predictions and prophecy shall not come pass."
"Words are spirit and we have to speak against negative words when they are spoken. God is not a man," he stated.

UN officials have claimed that the pandemic will most likely kill at least 300,000 people in Africa and push nearly 30 million into poverty; the figures are underestimated, as the continent might not be able to effectively account for the deaths properly. WHO estimates about 10 million people in Africa to contract the virus in the next 6 months if the infection continues at the current rate.

The musician has however cautioned African citizens on the need to be obedient to safety measures outlined by their leaders to stem the spread. "Stay home and adhere to the measures by your government!"
