And how many people has COVID killed in Nigeria since you have become realistic? You think people will die in such huge number as even in Europe and we the entire world will not know? Currently COVID deaths are generally on the decline all over the world and may just become maximum of 10 in every country by end of June. It may certainly return in winter but I am an optimist. Better for you to be optimistic too because I have no idea what you hope to gain from being a pessimist other than you love seeing people die in large numbers. That means you are a sadist not that you are realistic

mindtricks:


I tell you. Though we are more religious.

AtikuNetwork:
More people are starting to die from this virus. Smh.

lexy2014:


We in Africa are waiting for Europe, china &America to provide us a cure & vaccine. Madagascar has a herbal cure which has given them good results.

showafrica:


Check US coro, u go see say our own coro dey mild. Since February coro came to Nigeria, its still dey 60 deaths and this is May. While US is counting 2000 a day upon lockdown for over 2 months. OurGod is wonderful

TruthSpeaker:


IT IS JUST A QUESTION OF TIME. AS AT FEBRUARY IT WAS JUST THE FEW PRIVILEGED NIGERIAS (SARCASTICALLY SPEAKING) THAT IMPORTED IT FROM OVERSEA THAT HAD IT. ABBA KYARI WAS ONE OF THEM AND BEHOLD HE IS NO MORE.
NOW COVID-19 HAS GENEROUSLY BEEN DISTRIBUTED AROUND THE WHOLE COUNTRY. WHEN ALMAJIRI DUDES IN THE NORTH ALREADY HAVE IT, YOU CAN NOW IMAGINE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WILL LIKELY BE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO NOW IS TO BE VERY PRECAUTIOUS WHILE WE HOPE FOR THE BEST.
UNFORTUNATELY, I SMELL DOOM LURING AROUND THE CORNER

TruthSpeaker:


THAT MADAGASCAR CLAIM HAS TO BE INTRICATELY INVESTIGATED.

TruthSpeaker:


Unfortunately the harvest time is near for Nigeria. Remember COVID-19 has found it’s way to the grassroots in Nigeria. When it was newly introduced from abroad, only a few wealthy Nigeria had the privilege (sarcastically talking) of living with COVID-19 in their system. Abba Kyari was one of them, but today he already dead. Now the disease even abides with almajiri dudes in the north. It is now present all over the country. Don’t let the numbers NCDC record fool you. Things are much worse. By the way how many test have been done in Nigeria so far? A country with over 200 million people.
Now realistically talking, it will really get worse in Nigeria in the coming weeks. Do you know that the population of Spain (46,940,000) + Italy (63,360,000) + UK (66,650,000) = 176,950,000 is still 23,050,000 less than that of Nigeria (200,000,000)? For sure you know that the total death toll in those 3 countries respectively are 24,824 + 28,236 + 27,510 = 80,570. Optimistically speaking, one can assume (or better said hope) that COVID-19 is in it’s twilight in both Italy and Spain. The same can’t be said of UK yet. And mind you the disease can do a U-turn in both Spain and Italy at any time. Don’t forget the Olympic Games has been postponed till next year and even the host Japan is still scared that in more that a year’s time that COVID-19 will still be very much around.
Nigeria’s official death rate today is unrealistically low at just 68. Of course with just 15,759 test done, a very different result isn’t expected. Of that number, many were repeated on same patients. Spain, Italy and UK have done 1,528,833, 2,053,425 and 1,023,824 tests respectively. Don’t forget there are already some mysterious happening in Kano.
Health system in Nigeria is very precarious and can’t be compared to any of the countries I have mentioned. We are amongst the worst (last quarter) in the world. That of course favors indiscriminate death toll. Poverty, malnutrition, poor hygiene, stubbornness etc wouldn’t help issues either. Naturally our life expectancy (54.49 years) is really low, so that already gives a clear picture of our reality.
The upcoming hotspot is now Brazil where the president Bolsonaro has been downgrading the disease by calling it a “simple flu”. He has been fighting with state governors to relax the lockdown and get the economy back to track. He even had to fire his health minister for sharply and openly disagreeing with him on the issue. Check out Brazil in the next coming days and weeks.
I have absolutely nothing to gain to see people die in large numbers. I am not immune to the disease neither are my family members and friends. I only like being real with the situation in ground instead of just saying we are covered with the blood of Jesus. We need to also take precaution ourselves.

emonkey:


Oga,you are not any realist, you are just scared. In Europe there are countries with low death rates - Norway is an example. So, the misfortune of Italy, Spain,,France, UK does not necessarily translate to same for Nigeria. And be wise to understand that more cases are being declared because more tests are being carried out in those countries. And more tests are being carried out mostly on suspected cases, they don’t drag people from the street to forcefully test them. More people are not being tested in Nigeria because not many people are declaring symptoms. And if we are not yet dying in thousands should we not be thankful for that instead of waiting for that tragedy to come ? Get a grip of yourself and start thinking like a normal human being with a desire to enjoy life as it comes , rather than expecting death to come knocking at your door next morning. And what has the blood of Jesus got to do with all the negative faith you have previously declared? You are a truly amazing “somebody”.

TruthSpeaker:


I’m extremely realistic, not scared in anyway. You are still not getting it, I have already explained that the virus only got to the grassroots recently. Being like that, massive testing wasn’t expected before now. Did you expect massive street testing just after Abba Kyari and Atiku’s son imported it to Nigeria? Of course no. Time for more expansive testing is now that even Almajiri dudes in the north have the disease. Most states in Nigeria already have positive cases.
Of course testing is reserved for people with symptoms, contacts of positive cases and suspicion cases. While there are asymptomatic patients out there, testing is yet to be that generous.
It is no secret that test kits in Nigeria are seriously limited and some states lack testing facilities. I have colleagues practicing back home that are complaining of lack of adequate PPE. They also complain of lack of access to testing kits. Remember Nigeria has a population of over 200 million.
What I advocate for is for people to be very cautious and prepare for the worst case scenario, while they pray for the best.
Don’t forget Donald Trump initially wrote off COVID-19 claiming it was gonna be easily washed away. As I’m writing, more than 65,700 Americans have passed away due to COVID-19 in such a short period. Brazil president is following the same part and the fatality is progressively increasing. On Tuesday he was reminded by a journalists that despite the fact he claims the disease is mild that more than 5,000 Brazilians have died. He simple response was “so what”? He said his second name is Messiah but that doesn’t mean he can do miracles to save people from death. He has supported people at rally protesting against the lockdown (which he is strongly against and he goes around without face mask at the rally) imposed by state governors.
Mind you I’m thousands of miles away from Nigeria. The fatalities due to COVID-19 in the country I reside is still less than 25 after almost 2 months of partial lockdown. Normal activities are now slowly being reintroduced, although face mask most be used to be able to enter shopping malls.
If people begin to die massively in Nigeria (I pray that wouldn’t be the case though), it will still be on the platform I will write to say I saw it coming.

SirWarlock:
USA 70million Nah that's BS

And while I'm not totally sure about Kano's mysterious deaths, I feel Lagos should also be experiencing the same with the level of spreading there

Discombulator:

Listen up,they test more than 2million people per day,I'm not sure you're current,they are currently working on increasing their testing capacity to 5million daily,they've tested more than the whole world put together.
Try to do your research before argument bro

Cos I'm a feminist and calls out their bullsh.it
