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.

Op why is everything negative?


What about the good side of it like,
-Family bonding
-Getting closer to God
-sober reflections
-becoming fatter and healthier

With all my heart I wish so too. But the truth is that Covid is a very infectious disease - it's not deadly like ebola or malburg, but it is really easy to spread and fast too, that's what is so worrisome about the virus. And we don't know much about it too, that's why most countries are on lockdown. It's really unfair to lock down a place like Lagos because people with underlying health condition will die before the virus even gets to them.

Even if they're going to lockdown, they should make it mandatory for food sellers, pharmacy, medical home, delivery drivers to work because they're the real life savers here. And it should be compulsory to wear a mask before going outside. But I don't expect FG to give any thought to how this will affect the life of the common man. We're just like disposable animals to them.

That's the truth you said it all, government want people not to go to work, go for their business then you must be ready as government to provide them with those basic necessity, food, electricity, shelter and money for up keep if government is not ready to provide every single Nigeria with food, money at least they should not tell us not to go to work or do our business because that's where our means of livelihood comes from

It’s better face it now... than to experience worst situations later...... is better we stay alive than be infected with this virus..... please stay safe

ok

SEGLIZ:

very decent question.
Nigerians lacks the savings culture the more reason we are always scared of losing a day without struggle.

It's a pity bro...
If you visit brothels, clubs, beer parlor and abgoo joints at night.....you will know that Nigerians are reckless spenders ......
Especially these so called barrow pushers ,drivers and conductors

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?

Even the most advanced society will have it's tipping point from which chaos will reign... Humans are d same every Whr.. The govt needs to work in such a manner that will ensure that point is not reached...

More babies will be born after 9 months. Don't ask me how.

Seriously, you are thinking the way am thinking. With this stay at home, Omo in the next nine months up, u will see many pregnant women.

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.

chai.. I go just fat anyhow, person go come lazy. Lord let this virus come to pass

top ten most useless bank I know 1. Eco Bank 2. Eco Bank 3.Eco Bank 4. Eco Bank 5. Eco Bank 6. Eco Bank 7. Eco Bank 8. Eco Bank 9. Eco Bank 10. Others

very useless bank

Rice ko beans ni

mad max comes to mind
will be aiming for politiftians n sars

This is the what will happen, people will become hungry, food supply will run down and food stuff will become scarce and people will start losing their cool.
You can not estimate the power of hunger, people will start doing anything to survive because I know we don't have any back up plan

Dont waste your energy. Nigerians love living in denial.

I talk with more than 4 people yesterday and once you say anything on the virus or the economic effect, you just hear them saying God forbid, it will not be our portion. So personally i think most Nigerians lack simple logic reasioning.

What is coming is scary. Even countries like US is scared of what the virus will do to their economy.


Nigeria that is standing on one leg are still acting like this is a childs play.

corona had just managed to kill only one person in Nigeria. If the lockdown should continue till mid April, the death toll from hunger will exceed that of corona virus........ average Nigerian are not salary dependents, they hustle very hard to put food on the table

Which street guy? Hunger go make everybody be on the street. No even think am. Forget that thing joor!

A country with
No water
No power
Most Nigerians are traders
Most Nigerian feed below a dollar per day
Our police are animals in uniform
The people think they're slaves
Majority are zombies

Total lockdown will do more harm than good if comprehensive stimulus packages are not provided

proudevil:
Op.. prophet of doom.

Its common sense ABOKI its common sense!

hedonister:
These things are inevitable. But it's rather that than millions of death. The economy can always recover and jobs restores. But human life once lost cannot be restored.

If it is only some ambiguous concept of economic setback and lost jobs, then you are right. But an economic setback and lost jobs means more than just a concept. We are talking about the very real effects of these. Coronavirus on its own cannot kill millions in Nigeria, but hunger and loss of jobs can.

Depression all setting in

A lot of jobs are already lost

Airtel and mtn are sending me constant messages to come e and purchase data every hour now. It seems the economy has hit them hard too

This stupid government does not know the implications of the lockdown or curfew. What measures have the put in place to make the suffering less during this period?

Did they send money to those who might starve during this curfew which may last a week or more?

U don’t execute powers just because u have it. U execute with a sense of responsibility to all.

We Have Bad Government in Nigeria...

Thank God say na state government dey pay me salary.

I so much have that belief as well, I don’t know how it will happen.

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 bg for help


But someone said it Earlier that these things are likely to happen they will say to you...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
