The country is located on the west coast of Africa, with the Atlantic Ocean to the south, and bordered by Niger and Chad to the north, Benin to the west, and Cameroon to the east. Nigeria has 36 autonomous states, but practices a federal system of government. The federal capital city of Abuja is home to about 2.6 million residents. The approximately 250 ethnic groups who live in Nigeria speak diverse languages and dialects, but the official language is English, which is the mode of instruction at all educational levels. At state and local government levels, and except for official meetings, day-to-day communication in offices is usually in local languages and dialects. The population of the country is around 15 million (Central Intelligence Agency, 2011), making it the most populous country in Africa and one of the fastest growing countries on the continent.

Particularly individuals in the age range of >60 years and with comorbidities and other geriatric conditions are at heightened risk of complications from COVID-19 compared to any other age groups in the world. The time between the infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) and the manifestation of the symptoms is between two to twelve days. Typical symptoms of COVID-19 are high temperature, dry cough, and breathing difficulties in complicated cases, while new evidence shows atypical presentations of COVID-19 symptoms in older adults, and are highlighted in this review. From this synopsis, we deduced that firstly, the severity of COVID-19 among older adults is because of biological (dwindling immunity with old age), socio-economic (poverty and over-stretched health system) ...
