Why Are Nigerians Stupidly Closing State Borders And On Lockdown by Astark: 8:30pm On Mar 29, 2020
grin Nigerians governors are stupid Sha, why are they forcing people to stay at home? How will the poor people they created survive and feed themselves?

Because they saw European and Western countries on lockdown, they think that is the only thing they are doing, Usa and canada are about sharing money for their citizens.

But Nigerians want to do lockdown that will solve nothing but create hunger in the land

I've asked same question over and over again and nobody seems to even have half a brain to ponder and understand the implications of the error in a total lockdown in Nigeria.

The population you are trying protecting from Corona virus the wrong way will simply die of starvation.

Nigeria leaders are very heartless and stupid at the same time.

Citizens aren't testing for the sickness yet they expect it to magically disappear

It’s crazy, up till now, you guys haven’t gotten a grasp of what we’re dealing with here. There is a threat to human existence itself. There are worse circumstances in life than hunger and starvation.

What he said is true.

Reason it seems closing of state borders is extreme is just because Nigeria have never planned for a rainy day.

The first two cases of the COVID-19 in Italy were recorded at the end of Jan 2020.

Italian Govt gave a stay at home order which was disobeyed

Since then, the number of cases in Italy increased steadily, reaching approximately 86 thousand as of March 29, its have exceeded 10,000

My brother,it's so annoying just seeing these people we call leaders just follow the crowd;but without the commonsense to follow it fully by making palliatives available,as the countries they so sheepishly copy are doing.
For eg,a far greater percentage of Nigerians are either self employed and/or depend on what they earn on a daily basis to make ends meet.
No single plan,not even the simplest of them,on how these people would survive.
1 day for a starving man can mean life and death,talkless of 14days.
Moreover in advanced countries that have implemented these lockdowns,people can use advance on their credit cards to stock up without necessarily having the money at hand.
But here,no such credit facility exist.

what they supposed to do since, they should slash all government workers salaries by 90% and stop the looting.

Government should raise money for her citizens like other countries are doing...

Government should enforce mass testing of the virus.

It's not by locking up people shop and stopping people lively hood that will stop the virus

Do poor people always travel from state to state to buy food.? You are not even making any sense.

If you like, don't listen to any advise to keep yourself and your family safe, keep doing johnny walker and posting rubbish on NL for likes.

Dead Covid people don't eat, it's your choice.

It is these comparisons with developed countries that sets me off, "In China,in America, in Germany, in UK, in Canada!" are we on the same continent with them? are we of the same race, are we sharing similar climate, do we eat similar food, do we have similar lifestyles, etc?" these are the questions we should be asking ourselves before acting like we share 100% similarities. The way we survive malaria here, if same occurred where Caucasians are prevalent they will die in numbers. Whites don't have sickle cell anaemia and they have less number of diabetic despite consuming much more sugar, all these differences and much more should make us know that race, climate, etc could aid or abate spread of certain diseases. We should begin to look at other African countries instead of always referring to different race, continent and climate.

lol... you’re uninformed! Am I to blame? And I said nothing about dying, but since you have, everyone’s gonna die. Just not at once. That’s why there’s a lockdown so the spread of the virus can be contained. You need to pay attention to patterns bruh!

What you just shared is an assumption.

Said it in one of my past posts.

But until it has been confirmed that Nigerians won't be affected and die like the whites did, every known way to prevent the fast spread have to be adopted.

Mind you, we have tested less than 300 with 97 positive.

6 Labs for a country of more than 200 million.

We have every reason to fear and panic till we are sure its safe

Even the cases we have now was simply because we refused to close our airports on time.

Maybe, you could have faulted that one too.

Stop spreading lies, over 800+ have been tested. Today I got an SMS from NCDC saying if I know someone who just returned or if I have symptoms I should go to their testing centre. If I don't turn up, how will they test me?

Why can't we use other African countries as case studies? it's always "In China, in Italy, in France, in UK?" we don't share continent, race, genetics & climate with majority there so why are they always used as reference points, smh, I give up!

I think the major problem we have in this country is ignorance and illiteracy, people like you drag us backwards and make life and governance difficult. Until your family or loved ones contact this coronavirus you will continue to think that it's a joke. Have you done your testing?
You don't even know if you have it.
Coronavirus is not a joke, STAY IN YOUR HOUSE IDIOT.

Our Governors are nincompoop, coward and copy copy. How many people has coronavirus killed in their respective state that warrant absolute lockdown of state economy. Fulani herdmen and Boko-haram have killed thousands of people yet they refuse to close border. Why are we obeying these f.o.o.ls that are called governor.

I think people are just incredibly stupid. How do u expect to contain a virus that has no cure and is rapidly spreading if everybody just continues business as usual


All the countries that made that sad mistake are recording thousands of death today. Yet done people's brain has simply refuse to comprehend the dangers to public gathering. Till u get the corona u will still keep thinking it's a joke. Then when u get it u start calling ncdc to come and help u after u have stupidly refused to stay home.

Pls grow a brain. Quit this foolishness and stay at home. Trump that was making mouth is crying today. American deaths is now the worst in the world because of this initial silly mentality of ignoring the virus.
