Nigerians and hygiene don’t mix together. Are you fvckin kidding me! Look at how messed up the country is, no infrastructure, no basic amenities and you wan practice social distance for a jaga jaga country like Nigeria. Everything just dey messed up, even if the lockdown continue hunger go finish people because govt nor ready spend one Kobo on any citizen again. We are fvcked either ways until a vaccine is found.

You open market but close centers of worship, close schools, close offices....
Bikonu, which one of these is least hygenic/organized and therefore has d greatest chance of disease transmission?
Sebi we love to dey deceive ourselves abi.
Ngwanu, let's all continue...

An appealing question to generate a predetermined response. The environment is also bias against the larger population affected. In conclusion, the poll is a complete trash.
.
I rest my case.

Saintinoo:

How does pay of tax and responding to covid-19 relate?
Let's not go to revenue generation by the government of Nigeria, because that argument will not end.

It is clear from your response that you are a victim of the paucity of funds for quality education due to inadequate tax revenue.

Gosh!
Which dedicated and committed government will leave a very important desicion to twitter users...

How are they sure it's not people from other States or even countries that are voting?

This is what happens when you give power and authority to the least qualified..

1. They do not have the money to sustain a lockdown.
2. They understand that if they impose a lockdown people will flout it and complain of paliatives which they dont have the money to offer citizens, therefore it will fail.
3. They understand that without public support, neither a lockdown or a relaxation will succeed
4. It is a way of making the public own the lockdown or the consequences of opening.
5. they know that this thing can only succeed if the public are on board whichever decision is taken.

obiekunie2:
49% supported continued lock down

the thing never tire them

These are people with phones. Let them go and poll the folks in markets and neighbourhoods whose food has been taken by the lockdown. This poll is unscientific, null and void.

ok next please...

it is not meant to be scientific. it is a pyschological tool.

I can’t afford to pay my rent since March ending now. And no business one can do during this lockdown. Please the lockdown should end..

Be that as it may
If you want to make the public decide there fates,there are other alternative means to do that rather than subjecting it to online voting which to me is abstract..

However if you must use the media there are state and private owned radio and TV stations which would have been better..

olaric:
Name one, just one responsible government anywhere in the world that entrusts decision as sensitive as this in the hands of its citizens.

Which decision is more sensitive than choosing your leaders? What are you talking about?

Those who suffer the effect of lockdown most are not on Twitter, Facebook or Nairaland. Take it to the market men and women and those in the street and ask them.

I dont think you understand what I am saying. Like I said to a previous poster this is not meant to be a scientific poll or an attempt to reach the broader public per se. Govt cannot solve this problem, they dont have the capacity, the public are not helping matters.....they know it and some of us know it. They also know that whatever they do they are hampered by lack of funds and an unruly, non compliant public. The poll is a pyschological game play....either own the lockdown and stay at home or own the relaxation and bear the consequences. The fact that a govt is giving you a poll tells you they dont have a solution...when did you see any govt asking the public's opinion before doing anything?

What the govt is saying, the hidden message if you like is: you are on your own, it is up to the public, there is nothing more they can do if people insist on going back to work or defy lockdowns.

Less than 3000 people in ogun state

NwaNimo1:
Sophisticated people who probably are not suffering use twitter. What of street traders, market women, etc?

Anyway, I've voted from my 5 accounts.......let the lockdown continue that side!

Lmao! But you are not based in Ogun?

Government and their fake poll

The Lockdown Should Continue

Most people no get Twitter account. They could have use nairaland platform at least. Even if they use xvid site ,many people go still vote more Dan Twitter .

Na politicians plenty for Twitter.

I swear this online poll was rigged. let them do the Lockdown again and see the real results

What about does people who are not on twitter?

How does the government intend to capture there own opinion?

pjc:
I went to the bank couple of days back, usually I will majestically walk into the banking hall, que on a line if necessary to carry out needed transaction. This time, consequent of the lockdown, after two weeks of non operation, the number and desperation to perform outstanding transactions has resulted to chaos and anarchy and had successfully rendered the aims of the lockdown useless with the constant shoving and pushing while everyone threw caution to the winds. The same applies to several markets and other public utilities.
The lockdown doesn't work, all government, state and federal should abandon the strategy and probably find an alternative otherwise leave be as we were. Things & people used to be more civil before the lockdowns than after.

...Your last line makes sense

SirImpulse:
Alot of salary earners who have not lost their jobs would choose to continue with the lockdown.

I disagree, only Federal Govt workers or State Govt workers will agree because they will continue to earn their Salary because its their employers who chose to lockdown but private sector salary earners would never support a lockdown because a lockdown will affect the company's business and they may decide to lay off staffs.

You still have data to come online, your office paid you full salary, you can still order food to your doorstep, you have steady electricity supply, that’s why you can vote for the continuation of a most ineffective lockdown.

“How did we become so selfish and callous? How did we get to the point were we can comfortably shut our eyes to the glaring suffering of many poor people in our society. You are ignoring a visible enemy (hunger) to fight an invisible enemy (COVID 19).

“The lockdown is anti-science. The only result we can see is further untold hardship. In New York City, 66% of the infected people were at home, and only 2% of that infected population were homeless people. What does this suggest?
"Maybe when you lose your job, maybe when you exhaust your savings, maybe when your safe neighborhood is attacked by hungry bandits and robbed of not money but foodstuffs, maybe, just maybe your eyes wouId be open to the utter folly behind an extended lockdown.”

isthatso:

I guess you're right.

Very intelligent approach. But unfortunately most on twitters are salary earners that wrongly believe it is holiday for them with full earning. Same with those in the health sector. If only to press home their importance.

99% of self employed will vote against lock down.

I I have a poser for the govt is shut down or lock down a sustainable approach to public health management? If we have another epidemic in 6 months times do we shut down again and again?

Also remember that the foods we are eating now were planted last year. These series of lock downs will affect 2021 food supply. By the way the fatality of this covid 19 is not more than of common flu. And the infection and death rate clearly say it is NOT a pandemic for Africa.

The only defence is our immune system. Long term lockdown will compromise that. Time to open the economy but to put in place measures to slow down infection. Covid is endemic that is nothing going anytime soon

LandOwners:
Stop the lockdown.
We really need to find a way around this covid 19 thing.
Let's practice social distancing, wear our face masks and hygiene.

Everyone is tired of the lock down. I am sure even government wants things to return to normal as soon a possible.

But we as a people have made a habit of not complying with government directives.

We did not comply much with the stay at home order and we aren't complying with the terms of the partial easing of the lockdown.

The terms were simple: wear a mask in public, do not crowd anywhere beyond 60% capacity, use hand sanitiser everywhere and wash your hands regularly. Have you seen that happening much around you? If you live in Lagos, just look around you. People are moving around their regular businesses with hardly any precautions.

The fact is that even if the government imposes another lockdown, compliance will still be poor and this disease is going to keep spreading.

The best bet in my opinion is that we pray for some kind of vaccine. Either that, or government needs to be a lot more radical about enforcing the lockdown or the social distancing rules.

It was rigged

Educated people don't shy away from constuctive argument, you may want to use those typo's as a tool but that won't work with me.

Next time stick to the topic and don't go off topic just because you want to prove a baseless point.

I wonder how responding to covi-19 and payment of tax should in any way relate.
I also wonder how countries such as Ghana, Senegal with little revenue channels have been showing Nigeria leaders how to do the job.

Poorboy:
Copy copy

If you call it "copy copy," what will you call me using a brush to keep my teeth clean and you using a brush too?

What about driving a car in Lagos and driving in other states? Copy copy too?

Food for thought.
