FMT in partnership with The Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT) brings you a Covid-19 "healer" from Nigeria.
Bayo Omoboriowo distributes food items and beverages to the less privileged, vulnerable and elderly in his hometown of Ijero Ekiti, in Ekiti State, during the government-imposed lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in Nigeria.

But the pandemic has prevented people from earning a regular income for almost a month.
