According to the @NigeriaGov modalities are being put in place to enable schools resume soon but I am so curious, "are parents really going to allow their children/wards return to school in this Coronavirus era in Nigeria?"

Let's even assume that those in "high-class private schools" allow their children, would those whose children attend "pseudo-public" and public schools be willing to take the risk of allowing their children return to classes? Hmmm...

It's very funny and painful what Nigeria has become, you won't be surprised if someone carries the soap home instead of allowing the kids to use them and yes, nothing will happen as a deterrent.

Isn't this the same Nigeria where @PoliceNG entrusted with the responsibility of securing state borders and implementing the curfew have turned the assignment into a lucrative business for extortion and collision with law breakers?

With the right colour of currency,you can break any law in Nigeria. No?We are just not ready yet. For "true parents" don't be fooled by the optics, until a cure /vaccine is available, exposing your beloved kids should not be contemplated.The government (apart from @elrufai which I know)do not have their own kids in public schools and trust me, even those who have their kids in private schools are not thinking of returning their kids to school yet. They'll rather have online classes but is such available to the. " nameless and faceless men on the street?"

"Everything rises and falls on leadership". I rewatched Mandela's "Long Road to Freedom" and a particular statement caught my attention : "it is our responsibility as Leaders to make them agree with our position".

The leader should know the way and be able to take the followers along and to do this, effective and sincere communication is required. When the leader lacks credibility then convincing the followers to take a particular path will be an uphill task...

"You don't say A and do B "as a leader but unfortunately, this seems to be the default settings of Nigerian leaders and until this glaring hypocrisy is removed, our problems will remain...

If the leaders would allow their kids into public schools and let them resume then other parents should do the same but if not, you are definitely on your own. I believe it's time for @NafdacAgency to work with our trado-medical professionals to see what drugs can be created..

Our professors and academics shouldn't fold their hands, we need everyone now. Nigeria needs you and unless this Coronavirus threat is eradicated life will not continue as it has been...

Dear PARENTS, please, keep your children safe..Even if the government is failing to secure and protect the lives of the citizens, do not fail your beloved kids...Ces finis

Nope. My kids did 2nd term exams and we cam wait till September. Our home teaching is okay.

This government is government for themselves.

I know many are tired of staying home but if corona is as dangerous as they say it is then not when deaths are increasing and cases increasing you want to do what the rest of the world is doing when their death and cases are declining.

Una just want to travel abroad again .

I know by June schools would be allowed to reopen.

All the best

I just got this lines on what's and they make good sense.

Seriously, Buhari failed for not closing the borders early and for the corrupt policemen and every one who defied directives and got is into this mess, they deserve awards from hell!

Take a look at critical questions:

5. Will I get risk allowances when schools opening ?
6. Is it worth to die for 40$ US which is not enough to feed , cloth and shelter my family?
7. Will I be able to teach 6 x 35 minutes periods in a day with a musk
7. I have other health conditions that might affect me in this covid pandemic and am supposed to teach my o level class. How do I go about it?

QUESTIONS FOR SCHOOLS
1. If a student in class shows covid symptoms after lunch during learning . Do we also quarantine the teachers , the whole class or the whole school ( writing classes)?

QUESTIONS FOR RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITY
1. Are all schools having enough desk to maintain social distance?

Let's not forget that covid is spread out by air and contact therefore its a contagious disease.
Let's hope for the best and keep praying
