netpro:Option one has failed woefully the government did not provide palliative for the people so how do you want stay at home to work infact many died because of hunger and mind you the number of cases reported are not transparent at all NCDC has not given us any facts at all its all hype we might have like 10 real cases they hype it to 500 CASES that's what they do, so back to option 2 that's where we are moving now this country its a joke |

The truth is that our government can't provide any reasonable palliative. it's better we trust in God to put an end to the pandemic by opening the eyes of researchers for a vaccine. |

This lockdown is not a very smart move, Coa i believe hunger kills more than the covid-19, The government is not doing enough cos i have neither seen nor heard anything about any palliative in my area, People can't protect their business and themselves from thieves, even people who don't have anything else to do go and find what to thief, crime rate has increased and the number of people that has died since this lockdown has started are more than the covid has killed, I really feel that people who say that we should stay at home and stop complaining about hunger have food to eat at home and are very inconsiderate because if they know what it means to be hungry, they won't be saying all these |

The government should lift the lockdown and let evolution weed out idiots. It’s a simple instruction: stay at home and only come out for necessities, yet people disregard the rule for every excuse under the sun. It is only when close family members die that Africans are willing to learn. In threads like this there is one greedy man who always posts, putting human life below his business. He is against the lockdown because for once something is finally affecting his breadwinning activity. That his normal life is one of isolation and his business a virtual one does not make him better than anyone else. Then again hypocrisy is the order of the day here. 1 Like |

Coronavirus: 10 reasons why total lockdown is a waste of time and cannot work in Nigeria. By Charles Soludo I’ll Summarize the Points to back up this claim in the thread with excerpts from Soludo. 1. We Cannot afford it African countries easily copied the template of “stay at home” or lockdown orders, as in many Western countries but didn’t copy the accurate distribution of funds ranging from $1000-$1500 to citizens 2. No Credible Data Nigeria does not have credible demographic data to identify and target the most vulnerable unlike the western world. The Government doesn’t even know where the most Vulnerable ate located! They just give money to People who in turn embezzle it and post photos 3. There is no Effective Execution The Covid Cases keeps increasing everyday and if the Lockdown is a way to reduce or halt the spread of the Virus, then from the results it’s clearly not working and counter productive as a matter of Fact. 4. There is no Exit Plan The idea of Lockdown is to contain the spread in a given time and if it’s not contained in that period, there will be extensions. If Point 3 above is still valid, then there’s clearly no plan to stop the Lockdown. Which is a suicidal waiting game. So the cases continue to double and we continue to stay at home without no source of income. Soon savings will be exhausted and people will be forced to come out to hustle for food since point No1 is still valid and then we are back to point No 2. 5. Hunger Virus Africans have had high rates of poverty and hunger even without the CV19, now this just throws us into more hunger and in a couple of weeks, people will have more health issues sprung up from Malnutrition and hunger. 6. Health Pandemic In normal times, thousands die every day in Africa due to other illnesses and communicable diseases — cholera, malaria, lassa fever, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, zika virus, measles, small pox etc Lockdowns worsen these as many of the victims of these now have little or no cash to attend to themselves. Soon the pharmacy shops will run out of imported drugs with Border restrictions in China and India. Local adulterated drugs sales will increase to fill that gap, it’s now a life or death situation. 7. Politicians are doing Photo Charity, in Nigeria’s Language “Audio Charity”. Much fanfare, drop a few currency notes or grains here and there for some hundreds, when millions are in desperate need, just to be seen to have “done something” 8. Crime Pandemic Phew, everyone saw this coming, we just didn’t expect it so soon. The Touts see this as an elite problem and for them, “the hunger Virus is more dangerous than corona virus”. The desperate ones are forced to take desperate actions to survive 9. Many Firms will die! Most of the owners of MSMEs will probably consume their business capital during the lockdowns, with no clear helpline afterwards. It won’t be long Business owners may not be able to sustain the work from home or pay salaries 10. Agriculture will be hit hard Agriculture in Africa is rain-fed and seasonal. Lockdowns during the planting season could threaten food security in months ahead. Inflation will shoot up while people who need transport to their farms cannot do so. 1 Like |

This is xmas for Nigeria doctors,at least they will like to enjoy hazard allowance for six months,that is why the number of corona virus will be up going with less testing kids and sample collected,all this is fake added to the earlier cov 19 first index from Italy.for now those who has been sick of typhoid fever,chest cool,pneumonia,Lassa fever and all the above ailment assist coughing,they are all count as corona virus,this is the one of the reasons our Government VP travel out to get treatment. |

DaRuud: I think the BIG issue with a lot of folks is the question of the effectiveness of the LOCKDOWN in Nigeria. Because you do not now come out you cannot really appreciate how loose and ineffective the so-called lockdown is. Most of the reported new cases in other States right now are the result of people moving from one end of Nigeria to the other. So right now the perception of majority of those who are obeying this lockdown is more of punishment. If the lockdown was being effectively implemented across the country many will support it, but sadly the reverse is the case. People are moving freely or paying to move around and you call that lockdown? And there is no concerted federal response either. A lot of folks see the obvious point you are making. Sadly the lockdown is another avenue for some to make money at the expense of obedient Nigerians. That is the sad reality. And please don't minimize the virus of hunger. If you are a family man, you will perhaps understand. The worst thing for a family head is watching your family, especially the vulnerable little ones, crying for food, and you are healthy, but yet you and your wife are prevented from coming out of your abode to hustle and provide for them. And then at night your light sleep is disturbed by sporadic gunshots threatening your safety, and you are helpless! The way NCDC is going about the job, the way people are flagrantly flouting the so-called lockdown, WHEN EXACTLY DO YOU THINK THE CURVE WILL FLATTEN? Or let me put it more simply, WHEN WILL THE CORONAVIRUS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE IN NIGERIA? Most deaths from the Covid-19 are of those that were tested after they had died. So what does that tell you about continuous lockdown? Do you really see Nigeria as a nation that is ready to effectively fight this pandemic? Our institutions and economy are too weak to support a continuous lockdown and to fight this pandemic. It is not sustenable in the long run. Why many folks are even worried is that even with the lockdown new cases of the virus are emerging, the figures are not reducing. So why continuously keep people imprisoned in their homes and keep telling them it is for their own good without any practical move to assuage their suffering? As it is now many folks would prefer the government devote enough energy to FIGHT the increasing and dangerous HUNGER VIRUS, than dissipate energy towards attempting to fight the coronavirus. Our attempt has shown that govt cannot fight this pandemic, and it would appear this virus is not meant for us. I think many are saying: GOVERNMENT PLEASE FIGHT THE HUNGER VIRUS, WE ON OUR PART WILL FIGHT THE CORONAVIRUS ITSELF. . 1 Like |

JimCrane30:. I am for total lockdown. I have said the solution is a total lockdown while the haves provide for the have nots. some people want the lockdown to end and so I say in that case me I will stay in my house. Those who thing hunger is worse than death should go out and try death, since they say we are selfish when we say stay at home. If people don’t want to borrow themselves sense, life will teach them. The only place you are safe is at home. When you go out you risk death, even if it is not your death, it could be death of your loved ones that you bring the disease back home to. People who say lockdown is worse than death should go and try death!!! We won’t miss them, the less fools the better. The people who don’t care about contracting the disease and passing it on are quite frankly a liability and probably deserve to die. It means they don’t value life....theirs and that of others!!! A hungry man is at least alive, a dead man cannot spend money 3 Likes |

DaddyRochie1642: Don’t be annoyed. Go out and earn your living and let’s hope you beat the odds and don’t die. We will stay at home and when it is over....and it will be over one day, we still see who is still standing. However remember that one of the reasons for the lockdown is that Nigeria does not have enough beds to treat people if or rather when numbers really start to escalate. So understand that we are almost at a point where people will die simply because there are not enough beds to accommodate them when they get sick 2 Likes |
