We Need Afrocentric Response To Covid-19. Stop Punishing Nigerians!! by Niorte: 4:28pm On Mar 29, 2020
A friend forwarded the message below to me and I cannot but agree with the writer. Please read and write what you think below

Dear Writers, can you help share this to get to the top before it is too late??

Is Self-Isolation the best for Nigeria and Africa at the moment? Let’s look at its end result.

When I listen to Young people that reasons like Seun Kuti, it builds my hope that one day, the narratives will change for good.

Sometimes it seems we write or speak more intelligently than our leaders, it is not so because what we know, they equally know? But this is us telling the raw truth they have refused to tell you and will never tell you because they benefit more from shroud politics and fraudulent leadership, which by all means makes them appear unintelligent. And you as a citizen have not helped matters because you appear to be uninformed as to what your rights are and how to demand for it.

“The People that created social distancing and self isolation against Covid-19 are the Europeans, because, that is what will work for them after putting one or two comprehensive analysis together.

The Chinese didn’t use social distancing and self isolation, they quarantined their people by force, because that is what will work for them at that moment.

But not only that, China were building and putting to use new hospitals every 6days, to help get ahead of the virus, because many Chinese didn't have access to healthcare and they understood what needed to be done which will work for them. Their response was completely Chinese and not African or European, they knew what China needed to move China fast out of the mess and that’s what they did.

So, when the Virus got to Europe and the Europeans looked at their society and came up with social distancing and self isolation because they understood that that approach is what will help Europeans. Europeans don't have communities that are without water, they don’t have communities without Hospitals, Europeans don't live in face-me-I-face-you-houses, some of the homeless they have, they put them in government reserved shelters. Social distancing and self isolation is completely European and Eurocentric response to Covid-19, it is not Chinese response, it is their own Response. Europe doesn't have slumps like where most people live in Aba, Lagos, Onitsha etc with gutters and shanties here and there. They don't have communities without free water and electricity. Thus, Self Isolation became easy.

But People buy water in Africa (Nigeria) to survive, some people don't even have money to buy water. Now the Europeans that asked their people to self isolate, have created different types of funds to put in the pockets of their citizens to sustain them during the Isolation period. But Nigerian medical professionals and politicians are shouting “Self Isolation and social distancing”, how many Nigerians can survive 2weeks without hustling, Without going to the streets to find daily bread?

Buy forcing Nigerians to self isolate without putting anything in their pockets, the government is only asking Nigerians to choose between death by Covid or death by hunger. How have they saved Nigerians by this? This is not a response peculiar to our society.

You don’t bring an European trained doctor to treat malaria in Nigeria, malaria will kill a lot of people under his watch because he have no such experiences. There’s no mosquito in Europe and so, there are no malaria cases for proper experience.

African leaders should be creative and stop the copycat. This is why we have remained slaves to the westerners. Depending on them for everything.

But African leaders all over the continent gives themselves the best in this world. They ride in the best cars, they wear the best cloths, they live in the best homes, access the best hospitals in the world, have the best security, send their children to the best schools in the world. They give themselves world class services with our Commonwealth.

So, who taught you that you don’t have a right to demand for the best services from them? Who put it in your brains that you don't deserve to ask them for world class services? Who put that in your brain? Is it your pastors, your parents, is it the dormant schools you went to? Guys, remove that shit from your brain. Until the people learn to stand up and demand what’s due for them, nothing will change.

This Social distancing and self isolation is not Afrocentric! Is not for Africans and will never work for Africans in this situation should it get out of hands. How are we going to sustain families during this Isolation if the situation gets too tough? This is the window period to think!! Don’t let it hit us before we plan for it.

America with the lowest level of poverty is giving each adult a thousand dollars, (N380,000) but you are comfortable Isolating without food.

Desperate situations requires desperate measures.”

If you like share this till it gets attention, if you don’t like, sit back and wait. Two months in your room, we will know how far.

When the options is not available,
The availability becomes the option.

Correct me if am wrong.

Op,since time immemorial, there've been many naturalccurances like this.
And we've been overcoming it with a little or no help from our leaders,
I don't see why this too will not past.

To the STAY HOME CREW

Which home has the govt provided that want people to stay?
Is there light in that home?
Is there food at home?
Is there potable water at home?
Other countries that asked their citizens to stay home, what packages do they give to their citizens?

Any job security for staying home?
Any financial allowances for staying home?
Any tax-free policy?

We will stay home if Govt will be responsible for our upkeeps

I took time to read what you wrote up there thinking that at the end you would provide an alternative to social distancing and self isolation; but alas! The only thing you did was condenm a system without advising us on alternative method.

when you copy social distance from other america, did you also copy their social welfare packages? must everything about this govt be about hunger and starvation? how do you want ordinary Nigerians whose lives depend on daily hustle to fend for families during these restrictions? are you asking for solutions? to the one whom much is given, much is expected. common sense is no even common in this dispensation. one thing that is common among you so all beneficiaries of this jungle is brain drain.

Please don't misconstrue me, there's nothing wrong with what you have said. I only said it would have been better if you came up with a better way of fighting the virus. Criticize, but come up with a better solution.

all the measures to curb the spread are out dear. for govt to enforce compliance, they need to put lots of things in place. we get to hear billions of donations and funds raised to Support fight against the virus, but In reality there is nothing to show for it. how long does it take to employ, construct and equip make shift hospitals like China did to accommodate the increasing number of cases? what about establishing more testing centers? so many people have be frustrated and turned down in the process of getting tested and have resorted to self medications already. I don't see any emergency action taken in response to the emergency situation we have already. instead of welfare packages, the govt is taxing the hell out every transaction one makes. the height of insensitivity to the plight of the people is alarming.
