Must government provide everything?
Anyone supplying food will not give the profit to govt and it his in their best interest to at least get what they need to sustain their business at this point. It is like that all over. If you can't get what u need to run your business now, suspend the business, others who got what it takes to run it will do. Govt has stated his own part to ensure strict compliance to safety guidelines to those they will be coming in and out of restricted states to supply food.

Exmilitant:
I doubt your gloomy prediction OP, trust Nigerians we are going to contain the virus so well that the rest of the world will be awestruck. Trust Naija. By April we shall be free of covid-19. Just belief.

SharpJoe:


Where Did I encourage no movement. I talked about looking into keeping the essentials flowing. You agreed with me and talking upside down again.

Keep essentials flowing. Simple using strict healthy guidelines which require safety supplies.

Social distancing means nothing without testing and isolating infected ones.

skywalker240:
Pure truth. Last week in the middle of the night some mofos broked into a resturant belonging my freinds mum, and they carted away with pot of soups, fufus, starch, and foodstuffs. This is getting real, i pray this thing leaves before it gets out of hand.

SharpJoe:


No one said government should provide everything. We are saying they should take steps because responsibility falls in their hands. If it is to loot money, from tax to revenue, it is their responsibility to eat. Not to use the money tk provide for the people. See talk.

klark3:

U are the one talking upside down
Where did govt restricted flow of essential goods in his speech??
I referred u to read the president speech earlier.
He never restricted the flow of essential goods.

Naughtysite:
It's real some people cannot afford to drink more than Garri this season.

klark3:

That is the step they are taking & it is like that all over. Ghana is lock down, likewise all other countries. But because u people can never be satisfied u will never see the step they are taking. Canada has been on lock down for two weeks, govt only announced the lock down, nothing else, my bro is there & gives me first hand info. I agree our govt are very corrupt no doubt, but u see we Nigerians, no one can ever please us.

iammo:



crime has already increased, my cousin's house got robbed over night, and he and his wife were tied outside nakedly while they took everything in the house including electronics and apliances, they took raw food, their phones and their other cloths, neighbors had to get them cloth before they could head to the station to make a report

Even OPC guys guarding my area have being trying to resign we keep begging them with money

I pray all this corona virus nightmare ends soon

ezenwajosh:
When you say the truth....a common sense analysis based on the current scenario


They will attack you


When it start happening they start calling god for help....jumping from one celebrity page to another to bag for help


But someone said it Earlier that these things are likely to happen you said to OH SHUT UP YOU HATE NIGERIA THAT'S WHY YOU'RE PREDICTING RUBBISH

OH IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

And when you look at those people attacking you they are northerns....the region most likely to die of malnutrition and region with high tendency of violence....

IGBO SHOPS WILL BE LOOTED IN THE NORTH THERE'S NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT

I WILL GET BANNED FOT SAYING BUT I WON'T STOP SPEAKING THE TRUTH UNTIL YOU ALL GETS CURED OF YOUR STUPUDITY

SharpJoe:


My friend read before arguing. I said in other States, they are stopping stores and restaurants from operating. You read it. Stop twisting the message is not meant for presidency alone.

As for the presidency, they have a lot to do to maintain essential supplies, which include providing safety kits for them. Is this too hard to comprehend?

slyfoxxjoe:
Exactly. This can’t work in Nigeria. Too many people make their money on a day to day basis and most Nigeria’s do not have enough savings to last 2 weeks without work. We have a leadership that don’t think deeply at all.

klark3:

What concerns me & other states?
I am only making reference to yesterday's mr president speech on lock down. If one local govt in kano decides to close all shops, that is their concern. If at this critical stage we don't learn how to use our head, then it is quite unfortunate! Can the President be everywhere at the same time? He has given directive, if we follow it like normal humans should do, I foresee no problems.

mekaboy:


How much can one save from 18k or 30k minimum wage in a month? That's for those that have jobs.

deltateam:

Are you imagining your new skit?

klark3:

What do u want them to do??
Explain here what u would have done differently
Can't u see the world is helpless?

SharpJoe:


So stay in your lane if your priority lies in what the President says and what affects the day to day activities of Nigerians.

You just read comment and started jumping up and down.

proudevil:
Op.. prophet of doom.

9jaDoomCountry:



So many children on nairaland

mekaboy:
This lockdown is supposed to stop the spread of this virus. This would have been the case in a developed country. Where the entire country could be disinfected during the lockdown, people are provided with food and shelter etc.

But the the reverse will most likely be the case in Nigeria. Here are 5 things Nigeria will most likely achieve with the lockdown.

1) basic esentials will be on the rice.

2) more jobs will be lost

3) Nigerians will become poorer

4) crime will increase

5) more Nigerians will die from other diseases like High Blood pressure, depression, malnutrition etc due to lack of access healthcare and emergency response.

At some point violence and lawlessness will have a field day and people wont even care anymore if they are infected or not . This will lead to a wider spread.

slyfoxxjoe:
compensate those that you are asking to give up their livelihood and sit at home somehow or let everyone go about their business and you increase the rate of testing and response to the virus spread.

I feel this order to sit at home will cause more harm than good. America understands this that’s why they just passed a 2 trillion dollar spending bill to compensate their citizens during the lockdown. And their workforce is not nearly as manual as ours.

kingsleybrave:

So they don't save for raining days

klark3:

Stop looking for avenue to blame govt all the time. America that usually send aids & help to our dead nation is already helpless & battling with the virus, building mobile mortuary. If our case should get to their level, do u know the level of damage this will cost Nigeria? We already know the country is dead, this is no time to apportion blames but to fight a common enemy. The govt is trying to prevent this by implementing lock down & u are making noise. Money can solve hunger, people can do give away to fight hunger as time goes on, but money can't solve the spread of this deadly & highly contagious virus. Stay at home!

NosaHenry:

Its very obvious you have a pessimistic world view. I see a better Nigeria with the virus contained.

mekaboy:


Do you need a prophet to tell you that the person that pushes Barrow in the market or the one that hawk, the bus driver, conductors etc will need to be on the streets to survive?

Imperare:
Keep your negative opinions to yourself.

I see;
Nigerians developing their skills,
Learning new skills
Time to think/meditate about ones life: see your failures and be a better version of yourself.
More time for yourself and your maker.
A break from the activities of life.
Time to strengthen your religious belief / faith.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one
