Borno Suspends Lockdown; Churches And Mosques Asked To Reopen by boman2014: 7:32am On May 14, 2020
The lockdown declared in Borno state has
been suspended indefinitely.

The state government has also relaxed the
ban on religious gatherings, but called for
strict guidelines on maintaining physical
distancing in mosques and churches.
Meanwhile, the ban on Eid prayers are still
in force.

Umar Kadafur, deputy governor and
chairman of the state COVID-19 response
committee, made this known in a
statement.

According to him, the “stringent measures”
taken to limit the spread of the coronavirus
“yielded the desired results”, as the state
had recorded “significant progress” in the
fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

He, however, noted that if the COVID-19
situation escalates, the government would
revert to “status quo”.

“Henceforth, Jumma’at prayers and five
daily prayers shall be observed in all
mosques as recommended by the Borno
State Council of Ulamas in strict adherence
with social distancing and the use of face
masks,” the statement read.

“All churches shall conduct church services
as recommended by the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) Borno Chapter
in strict adherence with social distancing
and use of face masks.

“Government has considered the
recommendation of the Borno State Council
of Ulamas which clearly states that Eid
prayers is Sunnah (non obligatory), hence
there should be no Eid prayers. Faithfuls
should remain at home during the period.”

The government also placed restrictions on
public gatherings, especially funeral
processions, weddings, naming ceremonies,
among others, which it limited to not more
than 20 people.

Again, we should understand that the testing or the amount of discovered covid 19 patients is different entirely from the reality. This people that are discovered today; some of them had the virus yesterday, some of them the day before... and those that would be discovered tomorrow, today already have the virus, and they do not merely have, they spread too. The government tells you that hundreds have died from the virus and in the closest stay to the federal capital, no single test have been done in kogi. Thousands already die daily in Nigeria, from herdsmen, from bandits, from curable diseases; no one knows this people, no one cares about them. It is the wealthy and their employees, that we have their data. So be wary of this information from NCDC, it does not reflect the true picture. Look at the amount of people tested, and compare to the population of the country; that is the beginning of wisdom.

You are alone in this battle, this battle for your life. No employer to give free lunch, no government to help, in some state, the officials see all of these as their opportunity to siphon funds, to wield power recklessly and your church or religious head cares little. They will regardless of reason, if the govt allows them, hold a million crusade to get their tithe and offerings. Perhaps the imams told our governor 'more virgins in aljana , when our mosques are allowed' People have ignorantly killed others and themselves because of virgins and they will again. Don't be part of those. It is difficult to ensure the measures in the far north, even the most advanced societies die in their thousands and hundreds from recklessness, and thousands, from the irresponsibility of others.

It is you and your God, brethen. Anyone trying to reach you without a mask is a murderer and if you can, stay indoors and pray. Pray, that God gives our healthcare workers strength, guide the vaccine creators right and give our govt the wisdom to care and not abandon us. With faith, people can be very irresponsible, and we owe others regardless of our faiths, such responsibility.

las las, the fear of corona will die naturally, almost 5k case with about 165 deaths is not worth the hype, malaria kills more, even road accidents, am sure corona got so much attention cos the infection started from the money bags and looters in Nigeria, our society is simply not designed to be downlockable.

These people and religion, Yobe awarded contracts to build 95 mosques in 2020 while no contract was awarded to build new hospitals.
That's why it's easier for northern Governors with Muslim majority states to loot and go free because all they need is to spend money building beautiful mosques and the people will think they have done the work of Allah.

Even Saudi Arabia that brought Islam to us with advanced health care system is yet to open public mosques
