The paper stemmed from Aristotelian three doctrines of thought and the receptor theory in pharmacology. In all, it is a type of Applied Linguistics; that is the application of language models and theories in solving language-related issues. About this, the concern of meaning stands out. Hence the paper argues, from both Aristotelian Doctrines of Meaning and the receptor theory interrogate the issue of reality and truth about the outbreak in Nigeria. The symptoms of the disease as presented by WHO and NCDC are the semantic markers. Contextualizing this to the ongoing debate about the distemper, the paper argues that the issue of form and substance are in contrastive order. While the name (Covid) may seem strange to those of us in this clime, not certainly the substance. The paper then intends to interrogate the reality of the outbreak, thus using Aristotle’s three laws of thought and the receptor theory in pharmacology to do a content analysis on the claims of WHO and NCDC. The paper concludes that the issue of Covid 19 outbreak in Nigeria is a question of form against reality. Hence, NCDC should be dissolved as the body has become another means of looting the state. As well, the minister of health should be tried by the EFCC and the senate for linguistic corruption and economic disruption. |
