Good to read the points you raised @Passingshot. Now, I can only attempt to, based on those points raised alone, make you understand how we've only been fooling ourselves.



Your first point was on how body temperature was being checked at the airports, before our first recorded case.

Please, kindly school me on how effective temperature check is, in detecting a possible corona virus carrier. While you're at it, kindly explain again how the index case got through the check at the airport.

What's the incubation period of this virus? What are the chances an asymptomatic carrier would be detected by merely temperature check?

As an alternative to the temperature check, wouldn't it have been wise if we had subjected those coming from other countries, especially from the flash points, to some sort of self isolation and monitoring, as it's the current practice? Why not just temperature check?



On your second point, you'll have to understand that we can not ignore the fact that the more test we carry out, the higher the confirmed cased could rise (God forbid). The more confirmed cases we record, the more it will stretch our ill-equiped isolation units and medical centers. The more pressure we put on the system, the higher the likelihood of having more casualties (again, God forbid).

Can you in all honesty, boldly say that we presently have the capacity to deal with the virus if the numbers of confirmed cases gets anywhere close to the figures of the countries you mentioned?

It's well known that the best way to beat Covid-19 is by carrying out massive testing of residents. How many testing centers do we have in the country currently? What's the cost of setting up one? Why couldn't we set up as many as possible before our index case? Proactive?

Even now, how many more centers are we planning on getting ready? What's going to be their capacity, by the time it becomes ready?


The last point you raised, again, inadequate testing facilities, like I pointed out above, could be responsible for it. Otherwise, why the steady increase in numbers of confirmed case since we relatively stepped up testing?


Lastly, I can only appeal to everyone that irrespective of our partisan interests, we should all rise up and speak up so as to make the people in authority to realize why government was created in the first place.

Let's stop celebrating mediocrity, for as it were, if the numbers doesn't drop soon enough, we may not afford the "luxury" of having a discourse as this.

Insha Allah, Buhari will be the last APC member that will rule this country.

The failure of this administration is annoying .

If the dullard had closed the land and international borders on time , Nigerians wouldn't have been asked to sit at home today with empty stomache and epileptic power supply .

The country is in a ruins all thanks to the world most useless president , the dullard.

You most be mistaken if you think the problems bedeviling this country has got anything to do with the party in power.

The party in power calls the shot and would be held responsible for any misfortune that befalls the country .
