DG NCDC really you have done your best, there are limits to what you can do. The President, with due respect, should stop this shyness and be a leader for once, covid-19 is no respecter of status or personality, even Aso Rock is not immune to it.

So that you will abandon them in their homes to die abi.

With all the billions donated, you people cannot even put heads together to figure out a containment strategy for the virus. Now you want to treat patients of a highly infectious disease in their homes with their families. Naija which way? Other countries are building hospitals and disease centers in less than 30 days. It has been over a month now, and we are still not prepared to tackle COVID 19.

God help us and protect us because we don't have a government at the moment, all we have are a bunch of sycophants who care less about the welfare of the average Nigerians or for the country Nigeria.

It is a shame

Brace up NIGERIANS!



ANYONE INFECTED WITH COVID19 IS ABOUT TO BE LEFT IN HIS/HER FATE!




NIGERIANS, AS FAR AS COVID19 IS CONCERNED, YOU ARE NOW ON YOUR OWN!


You're the one that said you want to go around with your businesses, now, the lockdown has been lifted and you have also been left to be on your own.


THIS COVID19 MATTER IS NOW ABOUT "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST"


Brace up, Nigerians!

Proof national formula does not work. States need to take over.

Send the funds to State Ministry of Health to train health professionals in managing the patients. Let them set up mini-centres in each ward of the local government areas and manage it from there.

The State Ministry of Health should hafe strict guidelines of handling the money. And, send money for State Ministry of Health the purchase test kits for aggressive massive screening.


Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones.
