Nigerians are stubborn people who cannot adhere to simple instructions even in their grave.

What is so difficult about suspending public gatherings of more than 50 people ?

We can't defeat and curtail this pandemic with this kind of mentality and mindset.

The same people will come out and blame Buhari for not closing the border and suspending all international flights before the corona virus was discovered.

The problem of this country is Nigerians.

When the same Nigerians were calling government officials to close boarder to some countries and compulsory 14days quarantine knowing fully well its difficult to close open market, shut down transport system etc, where were you?
You godfathers were busy keep boarder open so they can travel abroad and now even Buhari can't go for medical tourism again.

executive12:


Are you really talking about the same Lagos that I know, in which I feel like covering my nose anywhere I go, because of stench from the filthy environment? Give me a break.

Is it the government that is littering the whole place with garbage?
We as a people also have the responsibilty to keep the environment clean.
A dirty city is a reflection of the people inhabiting the city.

And u were jobless enough to count it Smh

And you were equally jobless enough to quote me..

Runaway:
In society where things work, the person would be made to understand the reason(s) for the action. If possible paid part or all of the money spent.....

No! The person should be arrested and prosecuted instead.

why didn't he close border at the first place? If you have not wedded, may Nigeria government borne out of thier tradtional ineptude and inaction, reschedule presidential election on the day of your wedding
after some of your guest from outside the country are already in the country. Our nature as Nigerians is when it doesn't affect us, we will be talking anyhow from our comfort zone as if it is easy. that is wickedness. see how many likes you've got for being insensitive.

And you think you are making sense.

no you, you are wicked and insensitive? If you have a wedding as most people had yesterday, could you have just changed it on such a short notice? from your bed you will type yes but it is a lie

saraki2019:
Some Nigerians are foolish

wise Italians nko,, howfar? how about US and UK, the greatest importer of the Covid 9 containers. They are foolish also?

philip0906:

It can't work, take that to the bank. Except Nigerians are dropping dead on the road, millions of Lagosians won't give a flying fvck.

Lassa fever with a way higher double digit mortality rate, did not make us practice social distancing...Ebola did not either.

There are millions of informal businesses in the city that thrive on day to day buying and selling, how do you expect them to survive? Even America with a huge economy is reeling from the effect, you now want our very poor and majority informal sector to practice social distancing or pretty much lockdown?

Like I said, till Nigerians see people drop dead in their droves on the streets, many won't give a hoot.

Like I said. We can if we want. Like right now a lot of people still don't think the virus is fatal (which was what the Italians thought at first ). By the time death rate starts souring high u no go even need govt to force u to do what u got to do.

By the way how can u compare Ebola and lassa fever to covid 19? Yes they have much greater mortality rate but can easily be contained as u need physical contact with the fluid of the infected to get infected. They are not airborne like covid 19. I'm fact covid 19 is one of the fastest spreading disease the world has ever seen.

No matter how covid 19 spreads, it's still not deadly. Around 80% of victims have mild symptoms while many are asymptomatic. The most vulnerable, have been the elderly and those with weakened immune system.

The only reason why you're making noise about it, is because it affected the "oyinbo" and they're grinding the world to a halt, as a result. If it did not affect them, no matter how communicable covid is, you won't see it as a big deal, since "oyinbo" did not declare it deadly.

U still don't get it. Yes it's not very deadly but it can be very devastating as a big chunk of the population can get infected at the same time. By that time there will be no one to take care of the infected as all medical facilities would be filled up, doctors and nurses would be infected, even self quarantine would be difficult by then because where u want stay when everyone don get infected? See eh. Covid 19 is a sickness that people don't need to die from, but when there are too many infected there will be shortage of medical supply. Do u know many people would die if a big chunk of the population contract malaria at the same time. That is a disease that normally don't kill so far u use anti malaria drugs.

And nobody is talking about total lock down. Nigeria have not reached that stage. Just do as much as u can to reduce the rate of infection, that's all the govt and WHO is asking. Social distancing, washing ur hands all the time. These things won't stop the spread but would reduce the rate of spread. Enough time for the sick to get taken care of without over flowing the hospitals and maybe enough time before a drug can be found. South Korea and Japan did not lock down their country and they are managing the virus because there citizens are doing the right thing.

Valid points... Unfortunately, Nigeria is not setup for those kind of things to work here. Social distancing can ONLY work in organized societies where the literacy level is high and great economies.

Nigeria has a large uneducated populace as well as millions of informal businesses that cannot practice social distancing.

destinie2019:


They employ dedicated staff for that purpose alone. Rapid switching the electricity off and on is in the federal constitution, it seems. They take it more serious than anything else.

This one weak me bro, but it's the truth

Why

It's a collective tax for everyone. Nigeria is not a country where we want total lockdown, it would be devastating. A lot cannot eat if they don't go out and the government cannot sustain us. But the little u can do to limit the spread, do it. If that place u are going is not necessary then don't go. Majority are hoping that the virus would not be as potent in Africa as it is in Europe and America. We all hope so, but we cannot depend on 'hope' without doing the little we can do.

Eizenburg:


No you aren’t. You’d just be the potential spread of it.

are u ok how can I spread it , when I am not affected

philip0906:
Lol...How many places can they seal? Nigerians are generally not "introverted" (for lack of better word) people. Social distancing or whatever they call it, cannot work in our society.

So u mean you can't stay in ur house for a day, well fly wey no dey hear word dey follow dead body enter grave. Adhere to simple instruction and safe ur life and family.

convid , just an excuse to introduce another wave if global depression.

Thank God u realise that many infected with the virus are asymptomatic. This is the main reason why it is dangerous and why WHO recommend enough testing. An asymptomatic patient will keep spreading the disease without knowing he has it, but if he has been tested positive he can be isolated to prevent him from spreading. This is the reason the rate of infection in the USA is growing really fast, because there are not enough testing kits. If u don't show symptoms u don't get tested. Whereas in South Korea they carry out up to 15,000 tests per day, they try to test as many as they can without having symptoms. This way they can isolate the infected. This is why they still have less than 10,000 cases even though the country has been one of the first to get the virus long before it started spreading to Western countries. At the moment south Korea have less than 5,000 active cases.
