Is English the lingua franca of China, or we're the Chinese colonised by England? The kind of examples some of you give, shows that you don't have the requisite wisdom to navigate certain discussions.

It is because the average Nigerian is poor at English, they make you guys write IELTS to travel out of the country.

Stop taking pride in a lack of proper knowledge, of your country's official language.
Pidgin English more common in Nigeria, don't kid yourself.

Hood plenty pass civilized environment in Nigeria, and when you dey hood you wan come dey speak grammar; you are just setting yourself up for extortion.

As part of efforts to curb the Coronavirus pandemic across the world, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended the use of face masks.






Kwayet!

WHO has never at any time recommended d use of facemasks on a general note except only 4 those who are sick & d pple taking care of them!

What you fail to say is that there are various types of Ankara fabrics the old fabric is either 75-100% cotton but what we have now are days were 0% cotton fabric dubbed wash and wear these are majorly polyester, whose protective capacity have not been tested and verified . They were won to circumvent embarrassment and flouting the law.

This is the work of the companies that import face mask thinking It will be a lucrative business for them this time, but now, the local face mask is allowed, people rush to the local one,than the imported.

This is so not true, they are harmful if not made properly, you need at least 3layers of the fabric to protect you from any harmful virus. Most of what's out there is not safe enough so you need a trusted fashion designer to make one for you, be guided because wearing mask for prolonged hours and days even in hospital is not so good that why doctors remove it after seeing patients.




Ankara facemask must be properly washed and disinfected after every use as well.

This is the very reason why everyone must where face. Alot of people are asymptomatic meaning they have the virus but not sick. How do u identify such people and give them the mask to wear from to stop them from spreading the virus.

What doctors actually recommend is that if u are in a crowded place, were the mask, when u are alone or less crowded place take it off.

First of all, you failed as a journalist by calling a report ''erroneous'' and a ''conspiracy theory'' even before you've made enquiries to verify the report.
That is biased journalism.

Meanwhile,speaking from personal experience, Ankara facemask is dangerous to health. When I breath out, before all the exhaled CO2 passes out through the clothing, I'll need to breath in again, and in that instant, I'll take back some of the stale air I pushed out and the effect is felt immediately through my nostrils up to my eyes.
I don't need doctors and WHO to advise me on this cos I already know it's harmful and I don't use it

Call Your Police

I will never understand why Nigerians choose to speak awful English like "There is no any...."

I get it's not our native language, but a grown adult with a formal education, should be well versed in spoken English, to know not to construct such sentences angry

Leave 'any' out of it. Such English will only be tolerated from children.

Thank God someone picked this up...

At this point, English has become a basic life skill.

Thank you for the information. However it must be noted that using of face mask is not an absolute protection from the virus. Using face masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. Face mask does not prevent you from breathing the contaminated air if you are exposed to such air except if you are wearing a respirator (https://www.ohscanada.com/overtime/face-masks-vs-respirators/)

The most important benefit wearing a face masks does for you, is that it prevents you from touching all places (Nose and Mouth) where the virus can enter your body system, if you hand were to be contaminated before you wash your hand.

You can go to the WHO website for more information about when and how to use face masks.

If they're truly asymptomatic, then they can't by any means spread d disease!

Dis is simply so because it takes droplets frm coughs, sneezes, etc, 2 spread d virus, and since those droplets ain't coming out frm d asymptomatic patients, they there4 can't infect anybody or contaminate any surface or object 4 pple 2 be infected thereby!

In short, being asymptomatic wil mean no droplets, and no droplets means no infection, while no infection implies zero or false spread!
