in the wake of the Corona virus pandemic, a good number of Nigerians were concerned over the government's ability to efficiently manage an outbreak. there were calls to close international borders which the government failed to accede to. this came at a time when Italy, a country with by far better and equipped medical facilities got overwhelmed in treating infected persons.

in a bid to allay the fears of Nigerians, the government through the NCDC announced that they were ready and capable of fighting the Corona virus. recent reports emanating from NCDC might suggest otherwise. isolation centers in most states are dilapidated. contact tracing and testing of persons is done at slower pace. ncdc running out of bed space with only about 0.2% of the population tested, relaxing the lockdown amidst increasing cases of the Corona virus (of course they had no other option).

this behooves us to see through the underlining inadequacies of this APC led government. it brings to fore the president's ministerial appointments driven by ethnic sentiment and incompetence.

I thought they said they were ready. why the cries now?

When do the decrepit demons in power in Nigeria tell the truth? How could they claim to be ready knowing that this Government and Governments before under-developed the Health Care system in Nigeria? I will tell you why they thought they were ready, at the time, fake news said that COVID-19 could not survive in hot weather and they believed that.

Yes they lied when they said they’re ready to fight it, but then who goes to war saying “we’re gonna lose”?
No country on this planet is capable of fighting this pandemic right now, what we’re all doing is managing it while we ride out the storm.

who accepts a war that could be avoidable. At a time when all countries were closing her borders. Your government still left hers open to every Tom, dick and Harry. Defending this government sounds stupid imo

Yes the government didn’t react on time, but so did other governments.
And I disagree that covid 19 is avoidable, as of the time the index case entered Nigeria, 3-3 a symptomatic people may already have entered the country

I'm always shocked when I see Nigerians that still believe in the govt or still think those mongs up there give a sh*t about them. When have you ever heard a single truth from the Nigerian govt?!

They are lying oo
They are not to be trust at all

they did not o,. they sent someone to Germany to sign agreement on 24hours electricity and ventilators supply, before his return the virus took the other way and enter the country when we were waiting for ventilators supplies.
