Big liar.... How come u just spend 7days in isolation centre.? Forgetting that we already know testing is done twice which much show Nagative 2x. Another government agent.
NCDC has stopped test to be done twice. Try and be current, you get discharged now by testing negative one, which is the new directive

nawah oh... And I think of going out from Monday by using these taxis, bikes and buses.. May God help us and deliver us from this scourge.

So even with the face masks and hand sanitizer you were still infected?




I am not surprised that people get infected even with the face mask(no pun intended). The way we handle that facemask alone is as good as not wearing it. I have seen people slide it slightly below their lower lip, touch it, use it morethan once without washing... So its safe to say that one can still get infected even when using nose masks due to the aforementioned factors.

He said it's real and early detection will help in the healing process.

Most of his write-up is vague sha, but I suppose he shared what he wanted.

I've never expressed doubts about its realness. Just wanted to read something different from the daily government-powered updates. A comprehensive firsthand testimony was what I eagerly wanted to read. Unfortunately, he dropped a drab story. Nothing new, nothing outstanding. In fact his account somehow emboldens sceptics to hold on to their reservations about the kind of 'virus' we have in Nigeria.

It is because corona does not have a high death rate that is why people still think it is a scam.

If it was killing like black death and other deadly diseases these people shouting scam up and down will keep quiet and enter house.

Anyway thank God corona is not a death sentence because if it was people will not be claiming it is a scam

Fellow Nairalanders, l want to first of all use this opportunity to thank God for saving my life from this dreaded virus called covid 19.

I'm from Edo state. I was one of the 20 people that were discharged on the 13th of this month.
My purpose of writing this piece is to enlighten the people, especially the unbelievers on this forum that this virus is real. It is not a propaganda. Yes, l do not argue the fact that Govt has a way of taking advantage of situations like this, but when you are knowledgable, there is an extent at which you can be fooled.

This desease does not have the power that we are attributing to it. It took me just 7 days to recover because my case was detected early. The reason why people are still dying from this virus is due to ignorance and scepticisms. And when they eventually fall sick, it becomes too late

The day l received the call that my result came back positive, the health officials told me to take my time to get ready, and, even though they had my home address, told me to let them know where it will be convenient for me to wait for them to come pick me up. I'm saying this for those who keep say how come they don't see videos of patients on t.v. This was done so people don't stigmatize people close to me. Trust me, Nigerians are very good (or should l say bad) at that. Infact, the day after l was checked in the facility, one driver that works at my office who lives on the same street with my sister, went to that street to announce to anyone who cares to listen that her brother has tested positive to corona virus. Immediately, they started to stigmatize my sister, her husband and their three children. And these are people that l have had no contact with for weeks.

So, my main reason for writing this is for people to stop being ignorant. Get tested immediately you start to feel unwell. Early detection is the key to fighting this thing. When you are been screened, answer all the questions truthfully, don't hold any information back because it is due to the information you give that determines if you are eligible for testing or not. It is better you get tested and it comes out positive and receive treatment immediately than lie about your health, go home and die in ignorance.

Covid 19 is Real! Thanks.

I think it will do a lot of good if u reveal the treatment administered on you during your stay at the isolation center. And any other relevant info.

I thank God for you not everybody infected survived it.

Op pls dont answer this.

Tell him to be patient, when/if he gets infected, he would know the drugs.
it is not a big deal . Dr Doyin Okupe had it and told the whole world the treatment he received and advice to follow. It will be difficult for the Op to know the line of treatment he received while on admission. In medical palavers, it is always difficult for any patient in the hospital to know the treatment he is receiving while on admission in the hospital. It is in relevant , the bottom line is , he was cured of the virus.

Covid19 truly exists, no doubt.

But in Nigeria, na scam!

The one true person I know that died from the virus in Nigeria is Abba kyari (Mind you, I'm not disputing that he's the only one that has died from it).
All these other politicians are just deceiving themselves.

If you have any fever, flu, cough etc and you mistakenly cross path with NCDC, they will tag you a corona patient.

Remember in Tanzania, pawpaw, goat and engine oil are testing positive for the virus...
Food for thought.
Bros, I am a health worker and I am always present at the Lagos Isolation Centres...Covid-19 is real and has killed many but it's not a death sentence. You can never have malaria or flu symptom and test positive for covid-19, never. You cannot have other viral infections and test positive for the virus as well.

OP, you can do better by giving more details. This is a very shallow description of your Covid story. People want to know things like, did you have any symptoms, if yes, what were they? What kind of treatment did you receive? Etc.
Yes, many people have recovered from Covid 19 without even knowing that they had it. The mortality rate is overhyped. I was shocked to see that Malaria is more lethal than this. God punish Buhari[/quote
Why are you asking for the type of medication, so people can self medicate?

Ma'am, I'm sure a large percentage of the readers believe in the existence if Covid-19

What incensed people (and particularly me) is the emptiness of his narrative. When you write "my experience..." with this or that, it is expected that you share insights and details that would lend credence to your story.

I've read experiences that of people that addressed:
How they got it, how their body felt, how NCDC contacted them, experience at Isolation center, treatment details, etc. which would enlighten people on the disease. All these were missing and it merely sounded like motivational speaking with an allegory.

Plus the BUFFOON has not come back to answer lingering questions...

This guy was not one of the 20 discharged patients in Edo State.

QED!


delpee:
Doubting Thomases need to open their minds to learning. Many people have given their testimonies. They have shown us videos of the centres with patients and health workers in view. There's also enough information about the virus online.

They have informed us several times that many people will have it without even knowing. The challenge is that they're mostly asymptomatic but will easily infect others especially in crowded areas. The effect is worse on the elderly and others with underlying illnesses. Irrespective of the many conspiracy theories and the lack of trust in the government, I think it's wise to learn more as a proactive strategy in self/national preservation instead of assuming that it is all a lie. That's actually a lazy way of thinking.

Please step forward for a test (if you have symptoms) in any of the 20 LG testing centres if you're in Lagos. Same way for those in other states. For others, keep to the rules to avoid infection. Moreso in case you're asymptomatic... so as not to infect others. We need to get rid of COVID and move on with our lives.
May God protect us all.

Covid 19 is Real! Thanks.

I think people want to read your experiences and those of your inmates at the isolation centre. Your interaction with the doctors. How many new patients were brought in while you were there. Food served and care given. Your typical day at the centre.

Were there fatality while you were there? Was any of the patients on ventilator (because a lot of folks still believe that unless you were placed on ventilator you were not sick of Covid-19). How many patients in the treatment ward? What were the routine of the nurses and doctors? Did you see any Chinese doctor there or any of their equipment being installed by them as we have been told? How many were discharged before you recovered? How did new patients feel? The ones you met how were they feeling? What were the age ranges of the patients in your ward or generally at the centre? What were your interactions with other patients?

I believe Covid-19 is very real, I believe in the NCDC, but if I had any atom of doubt before, my brother, you cannot CONVINCE me with this shallow write up.

stay safe is all the summary I can infer but getting tested too many doubts about the instance of getting tested. Its becoming scary to get tested and not be positive.
A total of 30k+ tests have been carried out in Nigeria and only 5162 were positive. Less than 17% of all the people tested in Nigeria so far were positive.

I commend you for coming forward to tell your story. However, do not be surprise with the rather cold reception you will get from some people here. It's normal with Nigerians.

Btw, I have met lots of people from different racial, ethnic divides and nations and I can state for certain; Nigerians are the worst people to convince on mother earth. The politicians have so screwed with them that they have lost even the slightest sense of knowledge & reasoning. Living is denial is their hobby and you dare not try to convince them otherwise.
