It has now got to the stage that we need being sincere to ourselves as a nation.

Can someone tell me what is the significance of this nonsense NCDC churns out every night like a nightguard’s whistle?

The essence of the results for pandemic cases is to get the actual number of infected people, which can be used for the general case studies of the disease, the effects and needed management of the disease as it grows in trend. Thus, there should be protocol of maximum integrity followed.

With this inconsistent results resulting from the daily variation in activities of the NCDC, what can we get out of the results?
Can we say our curve is flattening in the real sense?
Can we say the situation is getting better in reality based on the results?

NCDC is nothing both the combination of Mr Ibru, Okey Bakassi, Aluwe, Baba Suwe et al on a professional ethical assignment.

I think NCDC are doing their job...
the figures can not and witnevwr be consistent because results being released is a product of the number of samples been tested. you can't test 5 samples and produce 20 result because you want to be consistent na. haba

and Nigeria has not flattened any curve yet... because we're so far behind in the area of testing

we're the most populous black nation with over 200 million people and we has tested just barely 32,000
South Africa has tested over 400,000.


so Nigeria need to test more.

Lagos always higher. I have never and would never join those that dont believe the existense of corona virus disease but i think the figures are concocted. I mean how will one explain the science behind kaduna having 20 cases yesterday and today just 4. Maybe tomorrow we will hear 34.
My brother the thing tire me oo. Lagos went from recording 179 and 182 consecutively last week to recording between 40-50 something this week and yesterday recorded a staggering 179 again to 92 today, tomorrow it might be 51 by Monday they may claim 180 was discovered in Lagos. Today Kano has no reported cases whereas two days ago it had 46 reported cases

Nawa o! When will this come to a stop? Anyways, lockdown or no lockdown, here are 10 websites you can earn dollar from on a daily basis, that is you don't have to wait till the end of the month. This info is completely free, you are not paying for it or any training whatsoever. Good thing is that it is tested and proven, so pick anyone of your choice that you feel you understand best. And also because you don't need any capital to start earning even makes it more beautiful. Watch this video to see it all in details.

the Inec result is out


Nigeria have 1000 cases, Germany to donate £50m, cases increases to 2000


Nigerians cry and beg the govt, please consider Madagascar syrup, this useless govt listen to Nigerians cry for the first time now the syrup is here, the cow in asorock said he will listen to science first when Madagascar's president said it cure covid-19 patients within 10days

my question is this, what does this illiterate aboki knows about science? someone that refuse to listen to anyone rather than the intellectual wizard who want to covert Nigeria to his annex directive, is now claiming to listen to science


this foolish man in asorock cares about nobody, your destiny is all in your hands Nigerians, till that fool finished his the most useless regime

Seems majority of the tests are been run in Lagos state.. so many asymptomatic patients are roaming the streets not knowing what they are dealing with

so Nigeria need to test more.

You cant test street to street, you can only test the numbers that come to you with symptoms. Some people with symptoms are self medicating, some aided by baseless innuendo don't believe there is a virus and then you have the long period in between doing the test and getting the result.

The only solution is to use larger pharmacies and primary care centres as the first line and then deploy rapid testing kits, Senegal is rtk's and the rate of false positives can't be too high based on their data. Finally allow the same places I have mentioned to do first line treatment using a generic approach for those with mild symptoms.

Watch my suggestions come to the fore as we begin to run out of bed space.

Corona virus is officially in oyo. 31 cases. That's d side effect of not locking down. And to think ibadan is a very crowded city gives a lot to worry about. We would see how seyi handles this hike in increase now. Sebi he been forming James bond before ni
Majority of the reported covid-19 cases in Oyo are not from the state. They're from people intercepted from the border trying to get into or pass across the state.
This hike might be from the result of the bus carrying lots of Northerners intercepted at Ogbomosho

They are part of the FG, not an independent body or private body. They were the one telling us that Nigeria was very ready for coronavirus. They make the logistics. They have the data, the test kits, the distribution, the isolation centres etc. They have not made any complaints about not getting enough from their sponsors. So think again, who exactly is FG or Presidency. If you think it's one person, you're just frustrated and transferring aggression.
