And it's high time we stopped this idea that the virus only got to the US after Nigeria's index case.

Truth is Covid-19 had been in the US since January, 2020. This is a report from Massachusetts.


New York NOT USA. U can’t compare US with Nig, but u can compare NYC with Lagos

Why NYC? Why are you so particular and concerned about a state that records more cases than any country in the world, including the whole of China (not just Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus)?

That's the state you want to compare with Lagos?

Because they are comparable in so many ways. Also because it makes the difference so glaring. Lagos had her first confirmed case BEFORE NYC that people are dropping like flies. Can u believe it?!

Coronavirus Is Not In Nigeria... If You Think It Is In Nigeria, tell Me Why Americans Are Dying Massively but Nigerians are Not? America And Nigeria Who Can Contain This Virus More?

The Nigerian government Is The Most Incompetent government, our Health system Is Terrible Compared To America, how Did They Contain The Virus That America Is Struggling to Contain?


In Two Weeks Italy Had Thousands Infected but In Two Weeks Nigeria Barely Had 100


They Put This Country On Lock Down when Many Are Starving, people Are Unable To Work And Feed and The Stupid Government is Unable To Provide For Them.

It's not rocket science.

Newyork has 161,807 confirmed cases, of which 7,844 people have died. That's roughly 4.87% death rate of all confirmed cases.

Lagos has about 130 confirmed, of which 5 people have died. That's roughly 3.8% death rate of all confirmed cases.

Why are you confused??

People are not dropping like flies here because, unlike NYC, measures were quickly taken to curtail spread. And based on what we know, Covid19 has been in the US since January so there are no facts to state that NYC had no cases until March 1st.. The word "confirmed" is used for a reason.

This thing is not rocket science. Death rates of confirmed cases in any country or state will fall between the range of 2-5%.

If you're worried about death, focus on percentage or death rate, not figures. Number of deaths doesn't mean a thing. Death rate is similar all over the world.

It is not rocket science to u because u can’t tell an unexplained mystery when u see one. U give some ridiculous simplistic reason instead of trying to do the hard work of trying to find out WHY.
NYC airports were announced closed to the Chinese Jan 31st, effective Feb 2. Shortly after, most of Europe. Lagos did not get around to doing same thing till March 18. They had automatic quarantine of people from hot spots. Lagos own was voluntary. FG did everything wrong. Despite all that, we have this result.
Instead of “death rate” why not look at what is actually happening in real life. Are Lagos morgues all full and bodies piled up all over? Look at that my screenshot, do u see anything near that happening in Lagos?
R u ok, sir?

Tbh, am even surprise with the rate of death in europe and america. It is too high to be real. I believe they are adding people who died of other sickness to pad the figures.
The question is Why? What is the motive behind all these?
The figures are too artificial and not real. They don't even know how to act or make things look too real.
Everything looks organised, planned or acted.
My opinion though

You're funny. You think the government will declare a lockdown for 4 weeks because of paltry donations like N2bn, N50m, N1bn, etc?

Do you know how much governments (FG and 36 states) have lost in tax revenue in the past weeks?

Paltry donations are the least of the reasons any government would declare a lockdown. Buhari or any other state government is not that f00lish. There's more to steal from IGR and other tax revenues than Dangote's donations.

Some months in 2018, Lagos state made over N35billion as IGR.

As per the low death rates in Nigeria, it isn't a Nigerian thing. Stop comparing Nigeria with the US or Italy. There are more than 60 countries battling Covid-19 and you have more than 20 countries in Africa to compare.

Yesterday, five people died in South Africa, and we saw the president extend the lockdown till end of the month. We haven't heard reports condemning the president's actions because other countries reported 2000 deaths daily.

Right now, UN has predicted recession in all SSA countries (Nigeria, Angola and South Africa) following Covid-19. These countries aren't all stup!d bro. Donations can't measure up with the impact of recession.

No country will deliberately enter into recession or deny its people from working because of donations. They have more to steal from your daily hustle than your idleness.

God bless you sir, it's disheartening that some Nigerians play with everything..and to think some people think the donations measure up with the daily revenue the Federal and state govt are losing is worrisome.

Op u need help walai, so is only America that is in their continent abi, what about Mexico what happen to other neighboring countries with america? Must Nigerians start dying like Italy befor you know Corona virus is here?


So since covid is a world pandemic disease does that means it must be present in every country? If not becuz of the stupidity of this govt. We could av prevent the disease from coming in or manage the numbers of infected persons.


Nigeria started preparing for this disease befor America itself. Op u get that

Of course the virus is in Nigeria. That’s not our discussion.
Here’s what u wrote:
“US have tested abt 2.3M and Nigeria tested 5000, is dat not enough reason for d casualty figure to vary.. “

No, casualties (deaths) does not depend on number of tests.

Lagos can be compared to NY:

Lagos had her first case a week b4 NYC and her first death a week after NYC. Both have high population density. YET, just yesterday alone 779 people died in NY while the entire Nig has less than 10 deaths total. (BTW NYC closed her airports long b4 Lagos and has far better health facilities)

Our focus should be on finding out WHY. If we can figure out WHY, we would have solved the riddle of this virus.

Thanks for your suggestion. I think is suggestions like this we need to be seed instwad of all this virusmania that is going round

This is ridiculous. Are you saying NYC hospitals bury as much as 2000 dead bodies in a day before Covid-19?? Like it's the normal thing and they're only trying to blame Covid-19?

Something is surely responsible for the death rates - failure to curtail spread of the disease.

Meanwhile, there are other states and cities in the US with almost zero case and Covid-19 isn't the first pandemic in the world.


You guys should stop developing all kinds of hypotheses and conspiracies.

You speak out of ignorance sir.


Agent-Host-Environment are the three basic factors that determine the spread of a disease like COVID-19.
1) The Agent: the same or slightly different variants of the same virus.

2) The Host: the average age of people in the US and Nigeria differ.

The genetics of Nigerians is different from the Americans.
Social factors like economic capacity for international travels or even air traffic is higher in the US than in Nigeria. This particular factor aid the spread of COVID-19.

3) The Environment: Temperature, Rainfall and humidity in the US, Italy and Spain are different from those in Nigeria

How many of the donors have even reedem their pledge to start with.
So lagos that is making billions daily will close the state just because one richman promise them audio billions ??

Here is a list of contributors to CACOVID relief fund as at April 1, 2020 as Davido reacts.

Reacting to the list via his Twitter handle, Davido wrote:

❤️ to everyone else that contributed !! Now let’s make sure the government put these funds to use !!!

Dangote had earlier explained CACOVID:

"CACOVID(coalition Against COVID-19) is an initiative that I am leading with other private sector leaders&our common goal is to support ongoing Government initiatives with our resources in the fight against Covid-19. We are in this together & I am optimistic we will overcome."

Meanwhile, Otedola also reacted to the list and revealed that he has fulfilled his 1 billion naira donation promise made earlier.

Nigerians are too stubborn, everyone wants to sound smart. Gosh! It's freaking annoying.

Is Nigeria the only country that has recorded very few deaths? Look at Ghana, with 300+ cases, they've recorded only 6 deaths so far. Does that mean that their government is also lying to them?

There are many countries that can be considered worse than Nigeria, but they have recorded fewer cases and deaths than the so-called top countries, does the mean their governments are lying to them too?

Oga if you want to go out, go out, nor dey use your own let people dey take risks with their lives.
Willy nilly, we are soon going to throw cautions to the winds.
since the lockdown started we have been living in fear due to attacks from thiefs, hoodlums, cultists etc
People are hungry and right now, I feel that the lockdown Should just end so peace can be restored to out environment.
the security of the country is so weak that we all have to work as vigilante from 9pm till dawn, even at all times we are always at alert as they also come in the day.
to me, what we have just seen in my area alongside neighbouring axis is let me say is a bit of what bokoharams display.
