Acidosis: The rate of spread will reduce when we keep infected returnees from abroad from entering the country with the deadly "Tokunbo" version of the virus indefinitely. What has stopped confirmed deaths from entering thousands after close to 3 months of the virus being Nigeria There is no proof that recovered patients can be reinfected. Also NOT everybody can infected. Afterall, almost all who came in contact with Abba Kyari after he returned from Germany tested negative. God has been so good to us because of the leadership, economic and other issues we are bedevilled it. Should Coronavirus join it, we shall go extinct! Our environment is harsh for the virus. And we are also used to treating malaria. |

While I believe that Mr Soludo has a point(several in fact) with this piece, I have a question: Why now? Why not write this before Govt took the decision to lockdown? It is easy to wait for the outcome of certain actions and then proffer solutions and look like an expert than to actually get involved at the beginning. The Govt has tried. They acted. They did something. Maybe that should be reviewed now. However, Soludo should have written this at the beginning if he was such an expert. Siddon look and then become the sudden wise expert who knew the outcome from the beginning leaves one with a funny impression. Govt, however, need to review it's action. It's a real devil's alternative situation here. Whatever decision is taken has serious implications. 3 Likes |

Soradex:Either way, there are Consequences. Since we have seen the consequence of the Lockdown why not try the Alternative for sometime too. |

Soludo is a clear thinker and his head is on his shoulders. What Africa lacks is leadership- inventive and prescient leadership- in spite its reservoir of original thinkers. How can you just,by fiat ,lockdown 1.3 billion people in a continent where the informal sector contributes a large part to its GDP? What Africa has done ,by default,is that it has reversed all gains it had made on economic growth in the last decade. |

Well said prof. So unfortunate that African don't have direction in all this issue raised. We don't have resources and structure to enforce and maintain lockdown, social distance and the rest, our leaders can't be watching CNN and other international media outfit and be doing copy and past on our economy system. The western world is well structured and organized that cash and other palliative are given to their citizen at this striving period, even the way they expended all of this packages are so lovable. My beloved African have miles ahead. 1 Like |

AsomughaChuks05: The man's wisdom is on another level. Obasanjo's tenure was the best Nigeria ever had. OBJ is a perfectionist, occasioned by his choices. Soludo in CBN. Okonjo Iweala in Ministry of Finance. God, when shall Nigeria get back to those days ? |

Oh my God! This is what I call thought provoking, in-depth analysis. Why can't we have such an intellectual as the leader of this country? If the government turns a blind eye to the solutions proffered by prof soludu, then we are finished. |

Please Samuel Anyanwu, do you ever know the meaning of looting. Which of the lootings are you accusing Prof. C. Soludo of?, The man that revitalize and recapitalized our banking systems. That pave way for the stability in our banking industry, an economist of economists, a seasoned accountant, and an expert in corporate governance policies? Advice yourself biko |

African ruiers dont care about citizens they only capitaliz on opportunity to loot and loot with the agents of darkness.What this lockdown chains hav produced in africa in last over 4weeks. Lets take stock of their calamities: they have produced more hardship to d ppl,gang robbers, scaled up human rights abuses, damaged frail economies, forced many ppl managing life into starvation and induced hundreds of deaths not related to covid minor fatalities. GOD WILL PLAGUE THESE EVIL LEADERS WITH THE COVID19 FOREVER. HOW CAN THIS HYPOCRITE BE ASKING THIS QUESTION NOW THAT OUGHTTO HAVE BEEN ASKED 3WEEKS AGO? IS IT NOW HIS PAY MASTERS HAV INFLICTED EVIL LOCKDOWN EXTENSIONS TORTURING CITIZENS AND FUTHER LOOTING THEM FOR NEARLY A MONTH THAT HE CAN TALK? COVID IS HERE RAVAGE ALL OF YOU CONSPIRATORS NO METTER HOW LONG YOU BLOCK THE ROADS D VIRUS WIL LOCATE EVERY EVIL RULER AND LOOTERS AND SILENCE THEM IJNA. |

prof soludo has spoken well, however let us all talk reality rather than just praise what is at best a theory, everything he has said in his article even he knows cannot be visible but we are all quick to praise the thought process and embrace it, whether we like it or not everyone that is well read here knows we are in a damned if we do, damned if we dont situation here, while the prof was able to diasgnose why lockdown will not work perfectly in africa accurately, every other thing he listed as measures or solutions is just pandering to the people, seriously a blunt and outspoken person might have as well gone straight to the point and and just declare 'ease up the lockdown, and let the people take the gamble of every man for himself and let our fate be decided by ourselves and God', because every measure he is talking about will not reduce nor flatten the curve , so its very simple if we are at the mercy of the west finding a solution to this problem while we lockdown and people are in pains and hunger, we might as well all go out about our daily activities and still be at the mercy of the west, let who will die die finished. To the people that will query how i arrived at this, when you remove interstate barriers and open up the economy, pls explain to me how soludo's solution will affects activities at computer village, alaba market, eko idumota, yaba market, other heavy populated areas like onitsha market, just to name a few. how do you control yellow buses, rush hour in the evening, let people profer solutions to this from what suggestions soludo has made, its time for reality pls, lest stop the whole lockdown wont work pandering and just say whats on our mind which is open the economy, anybody we go die make e die, period. 3 Likes |

The summary of it all: lift the lockdown, “stay at home if you can, or smartly go to work if you must” but whichever step we take our future prospects is already bleak. I agree with him, because with or without the lockdown people will die; heck, lassa fever is killing more people than covid 19. |

Nice Solution from Soludo. The problem of Africa at large especially Nigeria is politicians and their worst followers. |
