They don't read, just in a hurry to attack any dissenting voice.

I just wrote about the sluggish and lackluster approach of the government in the fight against this pandemic in another thread... One would have thought we would be way ahead of this thing since we already have the experience and laid down blueprint from the Ebola crisis.
This level of mediocrity is unacceptable!!!




I stand to differ, if countries like america & Uk with all the facilities they had in place could be sufferring the worst blows of there life, i think nigeria medicals as really tried handling the pandemic. ebola is nothing compared to covid19.
my point is for you to conclude we are sluggish and lackluster about these pandemic there as to be a comparism.

I don't need to hear from Buhari as long I can hear from Medical experts on what are being done.
I'll rather hear from Medical expert instead on Trump spewing lies, propaganda and innuendoes while people are dying.
If any leader wants to lead a press conference on Coronavirus, that leader should stick to Coronavirus related facts that have been vetted by Medical experts and not deviate to some political attacks and lies like Trump has been doing. That very counter productive. He would have been better to just leave it to Dr Fauci and others. It's very obvious that his number one goal is to get re-elected and to the people that are dying on daily basis. Americans are turned off by his antics and lies.


So how many medical experts have unheard from in Nigeria?
U think trump just woke up one day and said this and that about the virus?
Dont u think he has medical experts around him to offer suggestions and draw conclusions?
Over here in Nigeria even the health minister is clueless.
Was it not ur health minister that said they cant close borders?
Now look at what trump did. Trump was the only one in a room of 21 people that wanted to close the borders long before any other European country.
And u know what CNN said back then? That trump was punishing Europe by doing so.
Now today it's the same cnn that's saying that America should have closed borders earlier.
Was it not after buharis daughter came back that our borders were closed? If he was a president who has good grasp of the danger ahead wouldn't he have done something to hasten the closure?
I honestly dont know why people hate trump.
And I honestly dont know why people belive6that our president doeant need to show face or brief us.

Then why the heck did u elect him?

Yeah keep blaming CNN, as if the average American doesn't know that Trump is trash and only cares about wining the next election.
My main reason for my response is this irritating lie that the border was not closed because Buhari's daughter was not yet back. - Closing the border does not stop any Nigerian from coming back to the country. Many many have came back even via land border since the closure. No country including the US has closed it's border against it's own citizen. I beg stop spreading Trump like lie and propaganda.
Secondly, people hate trump because the man lie like a 2 yr old and he's a narcissistic bully that wants to rule like a freaking dictator. This is a man that will say something and deny saying it in the next 5 mins. He's mentally unstable.
The dotard even called it "their new HOAX"..

Sir, this is not the time for such comparisons...

Nigeria had far more time than those nations to prepare. The fact that we handled Ebola (A Pandemic), means we ought to even be more or better prepared...

Do you know that simply blocking and cutting off inter-state movements since early March would have put us way ahead of this pandemic by now... If that had been effectively done, most states would have zero cases now.

Must we keep trailing behind foreign nations in everything??! Must we make the same mistakes most of them made, and start comparing casualties??! Can't we be ahead of them for once??!....

We had the sole advantage of time (took almost a month before other states started recording serious numbers) to halt the spread from Lagos, yet chose to beat about the bush with this charade of a lock down.

well sorry to disappoint you, when it cums to appraisal & performance rating comparism is key.
i don't really understand what you meant by naija had moretime,covid 19 started 1st in china for Godsake even @that sport & other around the world were still going on because nobody knew the gravity of what was coming ... every other country asides china had the same time to prepare buh a govt can't just issue a lockdown without any record of infection, even now upon the records nigerians are still not complying with the stay @home order with the xcuse we must eat b4 we die.
Let be realistic, how can we be ahead of developed countries when we rely on there inventions, we don't even av standard facilities & capacity compared to what uk, Us & others have.
Now even with rate of infections broadcasted are nigerians adhering and complying to the lockdown, if the world is suffering a setback what makes you think "time" is enough to save nigeria. same Nigeria that had 4yrs to plan buh could not handle an election without postponing. bro if you know nigeria the way i do ehn, u go agree say we try sef grin

Guy, I know Nigeria is severely limited in terms of intelligent leadership, but we can do better than this.... I vehemently refuse to accept that this is the best we have to offer... That would be insulting to our collective intelligence.

It doesn't take anything to block movement of people out of states or to other states... In fact, it is the simplest, yet most effective way of containing the viral spread... That's why the Eastern states have the least infection numbers!!!

LOL !! as usual our leaders aint intelligent, please can you highlight the majors step we followers/masses av taken so far that denote "intelligence". govt says stay @home for ur own good people are using food as an excuse.
You keep repeating road block, seems you don't leave in nigeria, FIY enforcement agencies are sabotaging the move taking bribes n let commuters go, even some transporters av map out strange routes. nigerians don't share collectively intelligence, if yu doubt me go thru NL 4 a day

Nigerians will naturally disagree on everything, good or bad. A task force that has the minister of health in their midst who is a medical expert, still it is not enough. A task force that gives briefings on a daily basis and even do questions and answers with the press, still it is not enough. Some actually want the President who is not a medical expert to be the one doing the daily briefings. American President, Donald Trump does briefings, what has that changed? Rather the numbers keep climbing. Some people's argument is, they should be allowed to go out to look for what to eat as if they can't see the inherent danger in that. Everybody must understand this is a time of sacrifice and compromise or we all go down, simple. Not to be arguing who should lead a task force or making unfounded allegations

You do realise 'kid gloves' is an expression relating to the use of soft leather gloves to handle a person or an object.
