No place to run to. Is still better than coming back to Nigeria.

They should stay there.
In the NHS they will be fed 4 times a day. And given medications and ventilators free of charge. They paid their Immigration Health Surcharge fee and are entitled to these as legal immigrants.
I hope they are not foolish enough to think of returning back if flights are available.

Forget about UK for now, let's talk about Nigeria.

Honestly, Nigeria's governments are just being too optimistic. Coronavirus won't stop spreading in just 2 weeks. Many advanced countries have being battling this virus for months and there is no end in sight yet.

Do Nigeria's governments think that the spread of the coronavirus virus will be stopped after just 2 weeks stay at home? They only succeeded in slowing the spread and not eliminating the inevitable.

After the two weeks stay at home and the virus hasn't been curtained, will they extend it for another 2 weeks?
Will the hungry daily income earners agree to stay at home for another two weeks and go hungry with his family?
Even those that have money, will they be able to see food to buy after states have been cut away from the food supply chain?

I created a thread suggesting how the government should handle this coronavirus but it never made frontpage. While I have been seeing far less important topics making frontpage

Here is a link to the thread, my suggestion is up for debate

UK wanted to try herd immunity until they discovered that people in China who were cured got reinfected, which is more deadly.

Which more deadly


As the Mail and Sun articles say, based on local reports, the patients who tested positive twice in Wuhan showed no symptoms the second time and none apparently passed the disease to others. 

The same was true of a group of patients who tested positive twice in Guangdong province. The Sun quotes a doctor involved in the research saying  the results were in the “weak positive” range, suggesting that the virus may no longer have been active. He also added that there may have been problems with sampling.

No one is saying it would stop spreading. If people sit at home, in 14 days, many people affected would develop symptoms and can be isolated and treated if there is capacity for that. From the economic standpoint, shutting for more than a month would run us aground.

Just listen to the authorities and we'll try to beat this together.

I read your proposed solutions and realised you're just another empty barrel. Thank God that piece of balderdash didn't make it to the homepage.

Don't be wiser than the authorities because they are predisposed to better information and data than you are. We know how to revive an economic but not dead people. Your useless solution would get too many people killed as it did in Italy when they initially took it for granted but eventually have to return back to quarantine and self isolation method.

Where did you read that a once infected patient can't be reinfected?
Is it wise to you that we'll have to lose many of our elderly people to this virus?

Many Nigerians are ticking time bombs with underlying ailments yet to be diagnosed. They'll all die like chickens. What about your parents, if you still have them? Who has even assured you you'll survive?

You see how the death toll in America keeps increasing. That's what happens when you take this virus with levity.

It would spread but not at the rate at which it would have if it was business as usual. China locked people up in their houses and put the keys close to the door. They delivered foods using drones. They took extreme quarantine measures go get to this level and reduce death rate drastically.

Oh wow! That’s great if true. But your methods will kill a lot of people too. I mean those with existing conditions that don’t even know about it. Overall it’s a good idea

The four students were said to have contracted the virus while moving from one part of the UK to another to find means of survival.

Four Nigerian students in the United Kingdom have tested positive for Coronavirus.
The students are beneficiaries of the 2019 Niger Delta Development Commission Scholarship Programme.

SaharaReporters had published that the students were abandoned in the UK for eight months by the NDDC under Niger Delta Affairs Minister, Godswill Akpabio, and the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.

The four students were said to have contracted the virus while moving from one part of the UK to another to find means of survival.
A colleague of the affected students, who spoke with SaharaReporters, said, “The students are currently being quarantined at one of the NHS centres in their neighbourhood.
“They have been fending for themselves and now, they have no money as they can’t go out to work.”

The identity and treatment centres of the Nigerians are kept hidden by authorities due to the Data Protection Act 2008.
The students are appealing to the Nigerian Government for immediate intervention.

The latest incident comes a few days after SaharaReporters reported the death of a Nigerian doctor in UK, Alfa Sa'adu, to Coronavirus.
The elderly man had visited a hospital as a consultant to help patients of Coronavirus when he contracted the virus and died.

Once you are been given scholarship in abroad especially in the United Kingdom, USA or Canada you have the tendency of taking it upon yourself to be fending and sponsoring yourself because the schools there would give you working hours which would enable you to be paying your tuition fee and Bill's installmentally, A friend of mine in Nappier University studying pharmaceutical lab science and he is doing fine over there without complaining of been homeless, hungry or lack of money so don't just take opportunity as a birth right, ire eoo

They might have absconded from the programme only to be captured by the virus. Many people who travel overseas often end up doing other things abandoning the programme.

Nobody absconded. You guys can be wicked in your thoughts sha. We have been here for 8 months studying on a scholarship and we haven't even received the money we were meant to use to book our flights talk less of school fees. Everyone has been working within the permitted 20 hours. Those who contracted Coronavirus did because they had to continue working at care homes or stores in order to pay their bills. This would not have happened if NDDC had paid

Trash talk. No One worked undercover. They had bills to pay, continued working where they should and it's just unfortunate this happened. If NDDC had paid, they wouldn't have had to work at dangerous places

@Adefund, see as your friend deceive you and you swallow lie hook line and sinker.. Let people in the UK tell you as e be.
Maybe you dont understand what a scholarship means unfortunately I won't teach you. Go and research

Thank you to people that called out NDDC for this wickedness in abandoning scholars for over 8months in 2019,and 1year in 2018.

For others that insulted them and wished evil your hand will never hold a scholarship letter .You attract what you wish others. I rest my case
