Since the surge of coronavirus, various state governments including that at the federal level have issued lockdown orders across the country.

According to the comedian in a series of posts shared via his Twitter and Instagram pages on Friday, April 24, 2020, the only way the stay at home order can be fully effective is when the rich decide to help the poor with food.

"Two main pandemics at the moment we are fighting...... 1. Coronavirus 2. Hunger virus. Two main groups of people at the moment fighting the pandemics...... 1. The Rich and 2. The poor. The global irony and the African outlook...... The rich are afraid of the virus.

"The poor are afraid of hunger. The rich want the poor to stay home to avoid the spread, but hunger won't allow the poor to stay home. The poor fear that if they stay home, the hunger virus will kill them.
