Some people sef
Filling wrong informations for what nao ?



I need something strong to hold soul and body together

Take this one.

just tell us that is the actual number of those infected please

Excuzeme:


Can such people also forge their Finger Prints and BVN?
Look, if we wanted to have a grip on this thing, it is simple but our leaders are deliberately opening-up HOLES in the system, to allow then maneuvre, if they need to.

If we Finger Print and take pictures of faces and Passport Scan of everyone that comes down from a plane at all our airports, give them a form to fill and under it, put the warning: Declaring false information on this form is an offense with three years jail term on conviction.

I bet you, all data will be correct and traceable within 24hrs, who wan go jail?

Like you said the government created the holes for things like this to be happening. How could people who flew from one country to another possibly give false addresses?

Searching where? Confused government.

Border, border, borders; take border control seriously, wuna no gree. Let us count: terrorism, border; Ebola, border; foreign rice, border; Covid, border; Buhari from Sudan, border; Atiku from Cameroon, border; Kanu from England, border; stoking of ethnic tension from House of Trolls kumasi; border.

No border control, no nation.

This is where the big problem lies.

Jesuuuuuuu

The average Nigerian christian will blame witches and forces of nature for his misfortune rather than take responsibility for their shortcomings. .

Even witches and wizards are scared of dying from coronavirus . Anyone blaming them needs to get his head checked.

The federal government says it is tracing no fewer than 4,370 people that have contacts with index cases of the novel Coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19).

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, made this known on Thursday in Abuja, while giving an update on the measures being taken by the government to tackle the pandemic.

“We have 4,370 people of interest whom we are tracing, and we urge those who have had contact with suspected cases to immediately report to the authorities.

“We urge Nigerians to support the authorities in this regard, because we are on the verge of reaching the level of community spread.

“We must stop this immediately or we will record exponential cases in the days ahead,” he said.

The minister noted that being positive to Coronavirus is not a death sentence, and there is no justification for people not to surrender themselves for test.

He said some Nigerians, who flew into the country from overseas, filled wrong addresses and phone numbers in their forms, making it difficult to trace them when the need arose.

“We are not getting the kind of cooperation that this moment deserves from Nigerians.

“Many are busy engaging in meaningless criticisms instead of complying with the stipulated directives to keep people safe.

“Some Nigerians defied orders to stay away from large gatherings, while some religious leaders wilfully flouted the directives to ensure social distancing.

“The government is doing its best, but we need the citizens to do their best too,” he said.

The minister said it has got to the stage when government would have to use “strong enforcement” for people to comply with directives aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19.

Did these people fly into Nigeria using broomsticks? Do Airlines no longer have manifests with peoples names on them? If they have them, is it difficult tracing them through their phone numbers using the service providers?
This is what you get when a country is being led by a bunch of selfish individuals.

if this 4370 shi is actually correct mehn we are in deep shit and i dont think the capability is there. the technical know how may be but the other Tina involved nko.
if we survive this i guess this would be a wake up call for a proper data base of every nigerian(an good attempt can be made via bank details) schools, churches, mosques etc. and demanding accountable leaders

Please published their names let's know the killers among us. At list if u don't have the addresses and phone numbers, u know their names. U check their passport when the enter the country.

Immediately u said u will published names of people that came in to the country, u will see many of them will start reporting themselves to the relevant authorities.

i still find it funny, saying fake address was given, don't they have flight manifest, passport and co

It's what called CONTACT TRACING...

The FG is NOT looking for these people...
Rather, the FG is keeping track of ("tracing" ) them.

Contract tracing will not work with a highly infectious disease like coronavirus. Many people who had it never had direct contact with infected person. The disease can be spread by picking it from a sneezing infected person in a crowded space or touching an object recently touched by an infected person. You don't need direct contact to spread it. So how will you trace someone you never met?

You make it sound as if it's the only thing the FG is doing.

Contract tracing is merely ONE tool out of several...
Albeit a CRUCIAL tool - as we cannot efficiently fight infectious disease without contact tracing!

PS: Btw, your comment is IRRELEVANT to my initial comment, which was merely a contextual clarification of the term 'tracing'.

Once again contract tracing is useless on a highly infectious disease like coronavirus. How many people can you trace? How many people you quarantine if found positive?

How many countries have contact tracing helped in curtailing corona virus spread? South Korea, a model on how to beat corona virus never bothered about contact tracing, they tested everybody that needs testing and started treating infected people immediately.

Nigeria that had only tested less than 200 people is talking about contact tracing. They think corona virus is Ebola or lassa fever.

Now FG is looking a way to embezzle the funds they mapped out to affected covid-19 patients and small scale business whom this virus disrupt their welfare.

Buhari n those that voted him into power r all idiots. This thing was very much avoidable but what did he do, he left our airspace open even when other super power countries were closing theirs. He even said if any Nigerian were wanting to go to China and other affected countries that they will be issued visas. He let in foreigners from those affected countries all because of greed. The foolish health minister was assuring d gullible zombies of having everything under control should in case the virus came to Nigeria. This government practically called and invited this virus to this country thinking it will only affect d poor why they make money from it. But thank God that it's affecting them too and they are all old. The quicker d better for them. It also started from overseas so no traveling for any of them. Health care infrastructure is zero and no place for them too to turn to. If this thing has started in Africa the rest of the world would have isolated us n only be sending workers for treatment here. Bit our foolish African leaders didn't do d needful because of greed and unsubstantiated facts that it doesn't affect a black man or sun is it kryptonite

I guess the government is also not effective in America and other G20 countries.
America have the highest infection now, this is what they said on Aljazeera.
Even Thrump has been humled, enough with the cock and bull stories.
Way out is what everyone is looking for, whoever have a solution to the problem should please step forward.

Don't mind them wailers. Those that voted Buhari into power are all idiots, so they should have voted Jonathan, abi?

I don't know how a human being can continue to cry about an election loss daily for over 5 years. Its incredible.

truefood45:

The country and the world needs people like you now, go to Facebook, Twitter and so on.

Muumu, who asked you whether you have a Canadian or Iranian invitation to apply?
Your Cancelation/Denial at port of entry is with a capital "C"

You obviously lack comprehension otherwise you will address the issues raised and answer the pertinent questions
Are NASS members who went to Dubai for meeting and refused to be quarrantined on arrival, NOT NIGERIANS?
When NCDC says "Nigerians", are you so dumb not to know they were not referring to Nigerians resident abroad or why did you pick on that group?
Is it because of the 'invitation to apply" you just got?
That is why you want to insutl people who are citizens where you are still applying to?
Thunder fire you and your application, you sef dey form "abroad" like better person!
Anuofia!

I can see you are an incorrigible idiot.

Hopeless nitwit.

Of what use is your staying abroad if your mental capacity is like that of an almajiri.?

Shortlist the names of 65 infected persons so that we can help FG trace them.

Please quit spouting things that you have little or no grasp off...
It merely comes across as unlearned, ill-informed or just plain porkies.

The following are some of the MANY articles on how South Korea tackled Covid-19...
And EVERY single article or scholastic piece acknowledge the CRUCIAL role of contact tracing!

hmm

Assuming we had a proper database. It would be easier.

Ehiscotch:


The average Nigerian will also take the easy route to blaming the government for their ignorance and failings rather than do what's right or appropriate.

Just look how everyone is taking down the FG for being inadequate and inefficient and comfortably overlooking the failure on the part of the citizens to do what's proper.

Can u pls explain why d govt shouldn't be blamed and why d govt should be exonerated? What exactly were d citizens supposed to do that they didn't do vis-à-vis what d govt did? Has d govt been adequate and efficient?

But d gentleman is absolutely right. 4d fact that US has d highest numbers, doesn't mean d govt should be negligent and nonchalant. D points he raised are valid. If u feel otherwise, pls counter them with facts

LAI IS NOT LOOKING FOR ANYBODY. Have you seen any announcement anywhere of the FG announcing that people should come forward? When LASG was looking for two individuals they went on the airwaves and announced their names and within 24 hours the people were found. Why do we assume that the people gave fake addresses? How many addresses in Nigeria are traceable? Do you blame them if they even gave fake addresses? In today’s nigeria with the myriad of security challenges - who will feel comfortable leaving his address on a paper that might end up at a Suya joint! Truth is that form on arrival was needless- all they needed was the flight manifest and mandatory isolation and testing of all people who flew into Nigeria from high risk countries. They failed to do that and are now shamelessly blaming Nigerians. They have chosen the difficult way of physically tracing individual addresses instead of announcing for people to come
Because it offers them the opportunity to embezzle more money FACT!
