Afenifere Faults Buhari’s Broadcast On COVID-19 by JosEast(m): 6:55am On Mar 31, 2020
Pan Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, yesterday faulted the timing of the lockdown announced by President Muhammadu Buhari, saying people should have been given a few days’ notice to prepare for the shutdown. “While we agree that a lockdown is necessary at this point, it should not have been done as if we were shutting down a barrack under 24 hours,” the group said in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin. The group also picked holes in the president’s broadcast, saying the only thing new in the speech is the lockdown of Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory. Odunakin stated: “Afenifere has taken note of the overdue presidential broadcast on Covid – 19.

We honestly cannot fathom why it took so long for such to come as the only thing new in it was locking down FCT, Lagos and Ogun states. “The rest of the broadcast are about washing hands and sneezing on elbows and handkerchiefs which can only stil be useful to the Senator removing his face mask to sneeze for the consumption of his colleagues at this point. “It is a big shame that a rich country like Nigeria has been badly run over the years and up till the time we issued this that it cannot afford any serious stimulus package for its citizens beyond moratorium for N-power earners. “

By the way, we do not understand where the president was asking the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to go and get students to be feeding with School Feeding Programme when all students in the country are at home.” Related Afenifere faults Buhari's broadcast on COVID-19 Soyinka: Buhari's lockdown order illegal, unconstitutional COVID-19: Why Buhari locked down FCT, Lagos, Ogun

24 hrs notice about 2 weeks total lockdown ,


See as people dey run like headless chicken yesterday for Lagos

Some are not even doing shopping , some were running around to see whom to borrow from , they have been off business even a week before the announcement

Those that use to sleep inside their cars , this one go sele .

grin those that used to wake up early to run away from landlord , e no go easy oo

They should have made the announcement in the morning 7am , cos the script has been flying around the net since on Saturday night

Why wait till night ?

"Buhari’s highest achievement is to periodically prove that he is alive after which he goes back to his habitual self-isolation and insouciance."

Anyone with half a brain knows Buhari's speech was watery and unsubstantial.
Let's not deceive ourselves that corona hasnt already been contracted by the common man. Surely as God lives the virus would die in the persons body and nothing will happen.

As of now na OYO things o

If u want to know an irresponsible state look at Rivers state.

Rivers state that right now is supposed to take advantage of this corona virus affecting Lagos to try to scale up economically. With the lockdown going on in Lagos.

This would have been an opportunity for Rivers to receive attention from shipper's on its sea port.

But Rivers no waste time. Them even shutdown before Lagos.

Lol

This are same people that have been literally begging for a lock down, now it is here they are complaining.

Afenifere as a pan social group, can they make their contribution public, must we always complain in this country, do people even know what is called community effort, our high level of individuality will kill us before coronavirus.

Afenifere get to work and lament later.

14 days fasting, eating once a day will not kill you.

But getting infected with Covid-19 can kill you in 14 days no matter what you eat.

Please lets just persevere. Soon 14 days will be over and hope a cure is discovered.

Blame game will take us nowhere.

Buhari have no fault because, locking down lag, fct and Ogun states was the right thing to do as at now but where I fault him is how can he lock down a state without putting money into each person's account so they can manage for 14 days
Poor people that hardly feed themselves on a normal day how will they cope for 2wks
Local man will be like
