You can't lock an individual up without making available means of survival for him or her and you expect the person not to shout-out.

I know Nigerians will not obey this lockdown for full two weeks because of poverty.
All the politicians that have brought up this lockdown have stored their houses with foods and drinks that can last for 4 to 5 months leaving the poor class to suffer.
We have in this country 10percent upperclass,30percent middle-class and 60 percent very lower class. Now tell me how the very lower class will suvive after 5 days of lockdown.

In this particular case, I think it is more about indiscipline than poverty. This is the Lekki area, not Ajegunle or Mushin.
Moreover, not many poor people will be driving around in their cars.
Government needs to make an example of some these irresponsible upper middle class folks by sending them to the quarantine centers for a day and having them bail themselves out with hefty fines which should then be used to provide palliatives for the poor.

Is this what they call lockdown?
Why are they allowing some to go to work,walk and drive around the street while they hinder some people who live on daily payment from working and tell them to stay at home?
Honestly, this is cheating

May God help us stop this pandemic in Nigeria. I am afraid because we don't have the capacity to combat it when it becomes a challenge. This nonchalant attitude of Nigerians is pure foolishness. Sigh
Re: Heavy Traffic In Lekki As Lagos Residents Flout Lockdown by Reference(m): 11:09am On Apr 07, 2020
So. Can you see why I said Nigeria cannot be locked down. When we talk about capacity to do things this is the clear indicator. Same thing in Abuja. The outskirts are not locked down. Why.

Because Nigeria(ns) donot have the financial, intellectual and moral capacity to organize themselves around values and set objectives including in this case self quarantine regimes.

This is what a cerebral goverment knows and rather than allow things to spiral out of control should have shut the international borders or quarantined those coming in from all countries compulsorily.

Is it not easier to quarantine those who understand it, those who have a bigger stake in obeying it and those who can afford it. Looking back was it not easier to quarantine 5,000 returnees than lockdown 200 million people. Would it not have been cheaper for goverment to feed 5,000 for two weeks than palliate its so called 11 million vulnerable.

This is what is called strategic thinking which this goverment lacks. Now that Nigerians wont be locked down, the virus CANNOT be contained and either the goverment continues its half measures in perpetuity or gives in and ignores the death toll.

Unfortunately if it does the latter Nigeria will become an international pariah with grave consequences especially when other nations recover and we are left as the black sheep. Visas, invesrment, tourism, sports.... we will be banned from EVERYTHING if we cannot halt the virus and we cannot halt the virus if we cannot lock down.

So you can see why we were shouting as far back as Febuary. Lock, Lock, Lock the GATE of Nigeria so that we donot have to lock the ROOMS....

My security men lock my gates permanently at 11pm every night. But how can I emotionally stand locking my room because of the fear of covid against my household and loved ones. So I make sure covid doesn't enter my gate. Common sense.

From the explanation all of them went to do shopping? At same time and day? I think police check points shud be position strategically to send sm people back home.

U will have to also show proof of where u live or are coming from and answer neccesssrily questions. Get tags maybe.

Nigerians should know this. No sensible country has lifted restrictions when infection rates are on the rise. The moment we attempt to do so the international community will come down on us and will shut us out.

Presently we are not testing enough to know how much damage this virus is doing to our health as a nation. So in order to square the economy with the circle of corona at some point we may have to start hiding new infections and faking records like China to appear to be winning.

I have been around a number of primary healhcare institutions and spoken with a number of doctors and the overwhelming fact is that the virus has not reached the grassroots. They are not seeing cases relating with the symptoms in their consultancies yet.

So I advice goverment to take this fight underground and restrategise around public health, public awareness and public safety just like Austria is doing and just like the UK plans to do. This lockdown is not working. We must learn to work our way around this virus and plan to live with it.

But to cripple the 'country' in an imperfect way while waiting for cases to regress to zero in my opinion is not possible in Nigeria and not realistic with an influenza virus. The thing just doesn't die off.

Viruses are not killed, they are only subdued. Measles, HIV, ebola, zika, chicken and small pox, are all still out there. Worse viruses than the corona family of viruses. People just have to find ways to live with them, manage them.

Copy copy go kill our leaders, Oyinbo wey dey do lockdown , they have effective ways of giving palliative measures. we have to use other creative ways to ensure people are distancing themselves from one another. the 10am-2pm market window is even a more stupid idea. Everybody go come rush go the same market during that limited period, how will social distancing not become social bonding.

Staying at home is indeed a good option, infact, it's the best,, but you can't ask a hungry man to stay at home without any good arrangement for daily supplies of food ,it can't work.

If the government had heed people's advice by sending everyone money through the bank all these wouldn't had showed up
