I don't know who needs to hear this but neither the blood of Jesus nor prayers have been found effective in combating coronavirus. You are not more special than the people who are infected and the only thing that can protect you is obeying instructions and practicing safe hygiene.

I don't understand why we are just religious bigots.
Is it you that you never accept the name Jesus that you now want His blood to work for you? It doesn't work that way.
Even you yourself know the members of your own family.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PROTECTING NIGERIANS FROM COVID-19 IS PRIORITY FOR US NOW, SAYS PRESIDENT BUHARI

President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja reiterated the commitment of his administration to the welfare of Nigerians especially with the current happenings around the world.

Speaking while receiving the management of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) in State House, President Buhari said: “I am pleased that you are working with the Ministry of Health on protecting our citizens from Covid-19 virus.”

You must work to guarantee the safety and security of our pilgrims. As a government, this is now a key priority for us. I therefore enjoin you to ensure that adequate medical provisions and other welfare requirements are afforded our pilgrims,” he added.

The President expressed his delight with the operations of the Commission so far especially, the reduction to up to 15 per cent in Hajj fares.

“I am pleased to hear of the progress you have made thus far especially in reducing Hajj fares by up to 15 per cent. I am also impressed that you are still working to further bring down the cost next year. This is commendable now especially with the recent global events that have impacted on the economy. Such savings will be timely and most welcome to the pilgrims as well as to Nigeria’s economy,” he said.

President Buhari however, cautioned them against sacrificing quality for safety and comfort of pilgrims.

“However, as you assess and reduce these costs, you must ensure that quality service and comfort are provided for our pilgrims as these are the core mandates of your Commission and must remain your primary goal,” he said.

The Chairman of the Commission, Zikrullah Kunle Hassan had informed the President of the efforts of the commission to make life better for Nigerians on pilgrimage. He said that the Saudi government had given some concessions to Nigerians especially in the way of accommodation and tents, assuring the President of even better deals next year when his Board fully takes over negotiations.

“With your kind approval this year, we are working to take full charge of Makhan accommodation because hitherto, the states have been in charge. The idea is that when we take full charge, we will be able to reduce further the cost and to do this, we need to engage the accommodation agents and owners in a possible two to three-year lease with a view to having a reduction in price,” he said.

Alhaji Hassan also appealed to the President to constitute the Board of Trustees of the Hajj Savings Scheme to make it easier for pilgrims to perform their religious obligation.

He further assured that he was in discussions with the Federal Ministry of Health on the Covid-19 pandemic as the Commission aligns itself with government positions in tackling the scourge.

Taking necessary measures to combat the virus is more important than addressing the Nation.
If addressing the Nation is the vocal point in curtailing coronavirus, then USA, France,Uk China Germany and others developed Nations they could have been free form this awful pandemic by now.

But why are we making it look as if addressing his people and taking "necessary measures" are mutually exclusive? Those that addressed their people didn't take measures? We don't always have to be defensive. The western world made a mistake of not taking the neccesary preventive steps before the virus hit their country, they are suffering it now. African leaders who were lucky to see ahead of time how deadly this disease could be still had to wait till it got into thier countries before taking actions so what "necessary measures" are we talking about?

Here in Canada, people wait for the next steps/update from the Trudeau. Trump, despite his limitations, tries to maintain calmness in the US. Emmanuel Macron is constantly reassuring France of his commitment. People feel safer/more protected when they know someone is staying awake up there for their wellbeing. Nothing of such in Nigeria and when someone points that out, he's attacked.

I honestly think Buhari did not say anything cause he knows most people have lost faith in him.

Just my take.

Believe this regime at your own peril.
I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong in saying that human life worth nothing in Nigeria.
What has been the government commitment toward those killed by herdsmen, bandits and boko haram? What measures have they taken to improve our health sector? A country that can't boast of improved healthcare in Aso clinic. I tell you most solemnly, Buhari led government have nothing to offer. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. A government that cannot address man made disaster, how can it address natural disaster.
If not the fear of covid-19, Buhari would have embarked on medical trip.
Please everyone should take personal measures as we have been taking measures over our lives before now.

To people insulting Buhari. Don't insult someone you are sure you can attain his status in the society. If you insult Buhari it means you can never attain his position. Do not Insult your leaders. Rather pray for leaders.

Buhari, may God give you wisdom and direction to lead the people well, may you not act like Donald Trump whom out of ignorance has allowed the Virus catch up with a good number of citizens. And for those who are praying for the virus to catch up with Nigerians so they can insult you, may God almighty cause them terrible shame and may they even agitate for a change in constitution so they can vote you again for the third time.

And as you try your best to protect us from this pandemic, may we experience divine protection for almighty God. Amen.

Long Live Buhari.

Garba should know that sane Nigerians will
never equate his numerous press releases with the words from the mouth of the President.

Nigerians want their president to address them and give them hope as the panic mode is being activated. Is that too much to ask?

You want a hopeless man to give you hope?
