I didn't need any speech to know that the extension is necessary and logical

I want to bless someone with 20 dollars. That's my widow's mite. Anyone who really needs it should quote this message with bank details. Please I can give to only one person so it will be the first person obviously.

Please if you know you have something to feed on, don't block someone's opportunity. It will not be well with you if you take the poor person's food from him or her.

I am listening to his address for the first time and i was surprised that he wasn't questioned at all . . . I was hoping to hear what the journalist will ask him and hope he will be able to answer, but the dude just came and read his notes and walk away? No need for address then, he could have just send his note to the newsroom to read it for him.

You are right but that is how Buhari does his things. Remove that paper and snow might start falling in Nigeria when he speaks.

Manage what you see than us having severe cold in this Covik 1-9 era.

DEADALIVE:

That's my point exactly since you already know it is necessary and logical....will you still know that it would be necessary and logical to extend it in may because china have started recording new cases after their unlock down?

Commentor:


Your fake ex.

This is not the job for politicians and Civil servants alone. Most of the top brains are in the private sector and Academic Institutions.

I have been waiting for the Federal Government to reach out to them for solutions to fast track and stop the suffering of the country.

kollinz1234:
Your Excellency talk your nonsense and go. Nothing you have said that has ever changed this country. Your words to Nigeria as a nation is as useless as my words to Nigeria as a country.

medolab90:
My question is how are they planning to cushion the effect of this lockdown??

Many people have lost their jobs, businesses closed down, Relationships are down, Pple living on daily income are finding it hard to feed.


And all you could say is sit at home sit at home without giving the pple anything. I kuku trust my pple make tommorow come whether una no go see us outside.

Nonsense government

I am sure billions has been donated to the government to take care of the people in need BUT the stupid government won't have a proper plan to make sure they need gets to those that need it and the wickedness in the heart of people will sure steal most of what the needy needs and has been donated to them . . . Anyone that contribute to this government is WICKED, there are better ways to distribute to the needy directly.

medolab90:

Bro I'm just tired of everything this country is so frustrating.

Spain and italy both went through their periods of lockdowns, and only considered easement when things improved a little.

We've not reached anywhere near our peak, so it's too early to talk about easing.

27 billion dollars is almost nothing for 1.3 billion people in india.

I thought your argument was against the lockdown, not the social cushions.

TheGoodJoe:


The same frontline Health workers the health minister of Nigeria does not know if they are receiving Hazard allowance.

Reference:


The lockdown in Europe and America is primarily to prevent the health system from being overwhelmed not to rid the country of the virus. Viruses cannot be eradicated from society particularly influenza viruses.

Our goverment is not telling us the specific reason why they are locking down, what problems they are addressing by slowing down the tempo of society.

That is what I looked for in the speech. What were they not able to do last two weeks that they are able to do now that points to an exit strategy.

If not we will continue this lockdown without end. Influenza is not ebola. Cases will take years to zero out without a vaccine. Will we wait that long in lockdown.

The strategy of most successful countries such as Korea, New Zealand and Germany has been rigorous testing to determine who has the virus so that they can be either treated or isolated far ahead of them spreading it.

These are countries with populations in fractions of Nigeria's with testing ten, twenty times ours. If they are only opening thier economies after two months you can imagine how long it will take Nigeria to open up with just 1,500 tests a day.

That is why I repeatedly ask for a specific alternate strategy which may or may not require lockdowns. Remember not every country is in lockdown. Japan, Turkey amongst several countries have alternative programs to total lockdown and are doing well. It is not the lockdown that matters but what you do with it.

Lockdown is merely a tool of social distancing just like anaesthesia is a tool of surgery. If you put a patient to sleep and do nothing what do you gain. You can extend the anaesthesia all you like, the patient will not improve without a treatment strategy.

I repeat again the NCDC should not be the sole determinant of this game play. Pandemics are far more than health issues.
