That's why I just shake my head at some mumu people mocking US, UK, Italy etc, that upon their best healthcare Coronavirus is showing them pepper but we only have 300 cases bla bla bla. These dummies don't know that US is doing mass testing, tested over 1 million people already, so they are able to get better statistics of their infection rate, also able to get better statistics of their fatality rate. But here, they are not doing mass testing, and DELIBERATELY too, so they can keep the figures low and people think they are working and doing well. But all dat format na scam. People are dying everyday but because there's no mass testing, nobody know what killed them, whether na coronavirus or not. May God save Nigerians from Buhari govt, because their level of incompetence, corruption and wicked politics of politicizing and gambling with the lives of Nigerians can sink the country to the ground. 11 Likes |

Xisnin:The government's endgame is for the poor masses to die in their houses, hence the lockdown. Testing and NCDC isolation is for themselves when they catch the virus, or people that can call them out on social media for the evil monsters that they are. 2 Likes |

5000 tests is all a lie... I have been checking the updates for about 4days now on wordometers, nigeria has been saying 5000 tests for almost a week now even when the number of cases has been increasing. Does it mean dey v nt done any test since like on the 9th of april... I find it hard to believe the statistics ncdc is giving ... Its well 10 Likes |

Farmdog:The above is false. You need to expose the virus to at least 56 degrees for 90 minutes plus to inactivate it. You can't survive such exposure yourself. Africa's younger population is probably the reason there are lower deaths. 4 Likes |

CoronaVirusRelo: I hope you can read and not just that....I hope you can comprehend too Ghana has tested 37954 and Nigeria has tested 5000...this shows that Ghana has done 7.6 times more tests than Nigeria Now when you consider the population of both countries ...the case then looks far worse for nigeria ... Ghana's ratio per million is 1221 while Nigeria's ratio is 24 per million ...this shows that Ghana is doing 50 times better than Nigeria 13 Likes |

All am saying now at this stage u can only test a particular population of interest. We need to ramp up our testing. But at this stage not mass testing. We need to make sure evrybody in the population of interest shld be tested. babytoun: |

We are 26th in Africa. Let me repeat that, we are 26th in Africa. Nna na wa o. This is just testing. I want to know what position we are in solution finding or cure finding in Africa and the world. Am guessing in this 26th position, the first to 25th probably have electricity to help their coordination, logistics, and research. We need to go all in, in herbal treatment or organic treatment; because with digital treatment and techniques, we can't catch up and it creates confusion. We should fan out across Africa to look for plants that can cure this evil wind and others to come. 2 Likes 1 Share |

GermanMelania: These are my sentiments too, but NCDC needs to be on alert. It's a fact that there are way more infected people than acknowledged and this is because most infected people here are asymptomatic, hence haven't been tested. Considering how carelessly some infected people have mingled with the rest of the population, I won't be surprised if the figures are as high as 100,000. This is the more reason, why Nigerians need to adhere to strict physical distancing protocols; because if as little as 10,000 people develop severe symptoms, we will be in trouble, because our healthcare system cannot handle that number of severe COVID-19 patients. 7 Likes |
