COVID-19: Ondo Cancels Easter Services

The State Government notes with deep concern the second index case. This development has once again, reinforced the need to deepen our collective efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ondo State COVID-19 Response Team has reported that the second index case having travelled from Lagos to Ondo State must give the Government greater concern to avoid community transmission.

Against the backdrop of the above, the Ondo State Government has directed the cancellation of the special concession granted Churches across the State to celebrate the Easter Sunday/Service. This decision was taken after due consultations with the leadership of the Christain Association of Nigeria(CAN).

All measures and steps taken in respect of COVID-19 still remain in force. In particular, Government has taken further steps to effectively man the boundaries in the light of reported cases of compromise and breach of the directive to close all inter-state entry points into Ondo State.

I think it's better

Staying alive is far more important at this time than a "yearly" celebration. If we are all alive by the time this pandemic has been successfully controlled, we will have so many Easter celebrations that we may have difficulty selecting which of them is the best.

Let's stay alive first Nigerians, Jesus Christ will not be resurrecting tomorrow morning. He has already resurrected more than 2000 years ago. Tomorrow is merely a remembrance or a celebration of that.

Don't go out there and put your life and that of others in danger, and then die while celebrating someone whose number one enemy is death.

Your saviour is alive and well on His throne, don't die celebrating Him!

This covid 19 pandemic issue in Nigeria is not clear to me
1)Why is it that politician are the ones bringing out the figures? At least we should be briefed by a well known doctor on what they are going through, the dangers health workers are passing through in attending to this large numbers of allegedly infected people,And what they need in order to perform their duties.
2)Why is it that no single clip or pics of this covid-19 patients on sick beds or ICU beds has surfaced on the media space in Nigeria, the way we see it on CNN and other foreign media instead of showing us chats of yellow green and red.
3)Where are the dead covid-19 patients buried? And. Why don't they show their remains been moved from the hospital like we see in other countries that really have this covid-19.
4)Why do some states have the same figure of infected people for more than a week now?does it mean that the first case didn't interact with anyone at all.?
5)Why haven't we heard of a single health worker been infected yet in Nigeria with our weak health care system and insufficient protective kits,or is it not the health workers taking care of the large figures of infected people?

allow the pipu to go market and buy food chop ooo

MEET THE “HERO” WHO STOOD UP FOR AFRICANS IN CHINA .


Adeola Fayehun has apologized on her social media pages for initially giving a wrong name (Anozie Maduabuchi Cyril). The real name has been unveiled to be Dayo Lawal.

Lessons from this: We've all witnessed the funny dramas online since yesterday.
All Igbos worldwide, old and young have all trooped out online to celebrate it as a monumental achievement, chestbeating with it and have also been using it as an avenue to mock, deride and even attack other tribes.
Just Google the name 'Anozie Maduabuchi Cyril', you will see endless posts all over the internet and social media platforms bearing tribal captions. The tribal threads on NL are even innumerable. There was a particular thread I saw where the lady OP was attacking Mods and they all turned the thread to a real attack on Yoruba tribe. I guess it got to a stage mods had to delete all posts claiming he was a Yoruba man leaving behind those chestbeating him to be Igbo, so as to allow peace.
With all these dramas, one surprising thing is that, over 15 hours after unveiling him as a Yoruba man. Google his name or search NL, it's hard to see a single place celebrating him, chestbeating with it or using the news as a superiority ground. I'm really impressed. This singular case has shown the great difference between a mature tribe and immature, petty tribe.
Something Yorubas achieve everyday without looking at it twice, if Igbos achieve half of it in three months, they turn it to national celebration and chestbeating festival. If Yorubas and other tribes too go online to post everything like you do, they will accommodate every thread you wont have any space left to chestbeat.

Please, NL Mods, from henceforth, petty chestbeating and childish superiority contest in Front page threads/posts should be discouraged. It's becoming too extreme and turning to nuisance. If other tribes too turn this place and every thread to chestbeating arena, NL won't be palatable for anyone. Tangible achievements are meant to be celebrated but this petty, childish chestbeatings should stop.

Hmmm

Good one. They should stop all religious activities as well. Not only easter o. They should go to the north and flog those people who refused to adhere to single stay at home order. Meanwhile, the Nigerian government should giive aid to her citizens na. Hungry go make people disobey una order o. Na which kind unuseful country be this sef. Are the citizens not part of the country. Why life hard too much for this part of the world sef?

Prevention is far better than cure

This should be a no brainer if not for the nonsense some state governments are doing for a religious aspect of life that hasn't help us in anyway in fighting Covid-19.

My state is under total lock down. Even if Easter service wasn't canceled, no body go show for church

To me every gathering should be banned Cox u don't know who is who... even mosque should be closed as well.... before partiality will enter

Afterthought... everyone should stay safe. May God intervene in our situations.

Better safe

Na dem sabi o

Church services could be modified following social distancing and it'd still go well. People that don't normally go to church don't know what church is to some of us

Ok

Sense will not kuku kill me!

Smart move

E don happen

Safety first.

Good day nairalanders. Please, I am in need!! I've exhausted all the cash and foodstuff I have during this lockdown. I came out some days back and a good Samaritan helped me with something(1,400 naira). I appreciate his effort, but it was unable to sustain me and my family. I've no means to get money or foodstuff, I'm a photographer and I can't earn cause all events has been postponed. Please any good Samaritan can ask for my account details. God bless

Foolish governor


Maybe corona called him before and says Hey Mr governor ama be on vacation, tell your people to go and celebrate Easter in their Church
