It's easy to find ppl without facemasks so they can be prosecuted. But ones who travelled, how do u know the did?

Are you not a Nigerian? How efficient is our law enforcement agencies? You expect them to be in every hook and corners in Nigeria. It is very very impossible.

This is much more than face mask sir, our people don't even know the principles of using face mask, face mask is only but one of the many preventive method. Seen people with face mask, remove it to eat, what happens to there hand that might has been in contact with contaminated objects. You and I know that Nigerian can not keep to the precautive methods. We are not literate enough for it. Na Agberos u want ask to wear face mask? #StayHome #StaySafe

I don't believe this statement ...

You have seen people with facemask remove to eat - did you inform them they should sanitize with an alcohol based solution? Educate and enlighten

Whether we like it or not people will die from this virus ... we can not control the spread with a lockdown ... best we start seeking options to treatment.


Me and my immediate surroundings apply the face mask and sanitizer drill in n out of public spaces ... we dont want to be part of the other statistics ... please do the same within your immediate surroundings

Like I said, Nigerians flouted and are still flouting it

If the Government removes the lockdown, nothing spoil

But if(God forbid) bodies begin to litter everywhere, obviously a lockdown will be slammed on us. And by then, nobody will care about the death of the economy

You've said it all. We can be here talking rubbish about the economy but when things overcome us we will be begging for lockdown. Do you worry about the economy in the middle of a war? Yes people will suffer and die but more people will die if we don't get this under control. If ever we lose control we will need intervention from outsiders and that would come at a significant cost. Is it the outsiders that would not enforce a lockdown before they get control? Even if a vaccine is discovered, do you know how long it would take to vaccinate all Nigerians? Before that vaccine can be successfully administered there would be a lockdown. It is operational protocol.

My problem is not food. I'm just tired of being indoors. That said, we can't be locked down forever.

I would have said the lockdown should be maintained, but there are too many people who are in need of food and other things that can't be gotten if they are locked in.

If only government was testing enough, and had provided enough palliatives. But they are not and there is no indication that they'll increase testing.

Be grateful for small mercies. Some people endured wars for years. Imagine being in your house for years afraid a bomb will come at anytime?

I should be all over Nigeria informing people how to use there mask? You are an advocate for it, why not you start doing it.

You and your family are literate enough, do you know that more than 80% of Nigerians are illiterates and our kind of society does not obey rules and regulations

My side has been tight. Kaduna. We only go out Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8 am to 6 pm.
To restock.
Please I'm very broke and almost running out of essentials. Please anyone in Kaduna can hit me up. I'm willing to work for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I don't mind if I can't get an extension of days. I really need funds for sustainability as I'm here alone far from home. I can do anything legal, please.

I go with Option 2. Option 1 has failed woefully and the lockdown is not helping matters in any form.
The lockdown should be stopped, all the talks of dead bodies is a sham.. ending the lockdown would not increase dead bodies whatsoever, we are Nigerians living in Nigeria.
Those working for private organizations that don't earn much are at home without any hope of salary. Some private sch teachers were not paid March salaries talkless of April.. Feeding is wahala, security is wahala.
We are to weigh our problems and tackle the menacing ones. Don't be deceived by the media, we're not whites nor yellow. We're Nigerians living in Nigeria, covid19 is not a threat to us. The lockdown is not doing anything

We trusting our people to obey simple laid down rules is the first steps in building a nation. We cannot distrust our people and expect them to become developed and be civilised. No wonder Nigerian politician are contracting out simple task that can be done by citizens to foreigners. This mentality of judging our people incapable of simple tasks need to stop.

You cannot kill the economy cos of a virus with 1 percent mortality rate. The other option is to lock down vulnerable ppl (who will die from the virus) and ask the rest to go about with masks gloves and provide hand cleansing kits all over.
The virus will be around for a long time. So Nigeria has to adapt.

How can social distancing be enforced in Lawanson market, Yaba, Idumota, Balogun or the likes?

How can we observe Social distancing in Danfos or motorbikes?

Even banks will first jampack people outside before they allow them to go in, in twos?

Let them just remove it. Anyhow it eventually ends up is our fate. But saying enlightenment and enforcement? We both know that's not happen

Just read through the comments of supposed "enlightened" Nigerians with the internet. Then imagine how an uneducated Nigerian would behave

Simple

1)New market day schedule for marketers

The leaders of the market would have to draw up a schedule that would ensure people come to markets to sell on different days of the week.

2) Members of task force would ensure people use mask by moving around those areas with loud speakers and providing face mask

3) Mobile sample collection centers would be set up to collect samples of people for testing within the market.

Innovation is needed in this situation

We can't wait till a vaccine is found before we open up our economy. We have closed our economy for a month and the cases are still going up.

What makes you think that by a months time that the cases would have reduced?

onyxo76:
so what happens if after 3 weeks and our cases have multiplied 4 times and you have lost your job due to economy crash? the truth is that we as humans will adapt to this covid of a thing once we are able to develop herd immunity.
we can't afford to go into economic depression like in the 1930 era just after the Spanish flu pandemic

First, the great depression of 1930 was not as a result of the Spanish Flue of 1918-1919 but a tumble in USA stocks which spread to other parts of the globe.
2ndly, if the movement is truly curtailed during this period the curve would be truly flattered. A security man went to Kano and back during the last 2 weeks and one of the people that died recently travelled from Lagos to Ondo. If movement is truly halted be sure Nigeria would be out of the wood.
Economic crash is inevitable but I trust and believe Nigeria and Nigerians to bounce back stronger than before.
If 100,000,000 Nigerians get infected and 5% of that number dies which includes the parent of your enemy, siblings of a hater and kids of a known enemy just so we all can get infected to develop a medically unconfirmed immunity for getting reinfected?

Na because you get food that's why you are saying this .

There is hunger in the land and the palliatives isn't reaching most people


izzou:
For me, I still support the LOCKDOWN for the next one month

Let us sacrifice this little time and see the curve flatten to a reasonable extent.

Nigerians sef are not helping. Stay at home, everyone is screaming hunger (which is true). But isn't it better to feel hunger, than see your loved ones die because of something without cure?

Face masks can be enforced, but it's difficult for Social distancing to be. From markets, to banks, to busstops, to churches, to everywhere....Only walking along Idumota or Obalende sef na wahala

If this lockdown is lifted, na God hand we dey. NCDC are already overburdened despite thelockdown. Imagine when it's lifted

This is a very big risk to be taken on Monday. God will see us through

You're not being realistic or you haven't experienced hunger so you don't understand the reality.

You obviously don't understand the essence of the lockdown.

The lockdown is to reduce the spread and discover the infected ones. The reason you have an increased number is because they have increased testing. When the lockdown started, only Lagos and Abuja was testing. Today, more than 10 states are testing

If you run 50,000 tests this evening, you'll definately see over 2000 that are infected.
Does it mean the number is increasing? No

It means you just discovered potential carriers. But then, lets remove the lockdown. and see the numbers reduce drastically(according to you)

what a foolish comparison, hunger and convid 19,
Do you know the percentage of people that will die of hunger can be more than convid 19 going by its survival rate. Do not talk from your selfish point of view. We in Lagos can no longer sleep because of hungry hoodlums and we facing hunger during the day again, abeg Park well
