Conducive conditions for lockdown anywhere in the world, especially as some Nigerian states are mulling lockdown again. Experience has thought us the following.



1. Pay stimulus package of N100k monthly to all citizens. US parliament just approved 600 dollars for each citizen, yet they have not locked down completely.



2. Device means of delivering essential items to people's door steps. That is how China did it. If you allow people to go to market because of food, then the purpose of the lockdown will be defeated.



3. Security men to enforce the lockdown should be well trained to avoid unnecessary killing of people who still go out to look for food.



4. Government should not hoard any food palliative. This is Nigeria. Hunger is real.



5. Leave schools out of it. Nigeria does not have facilities for long distance learning. Schools should be locked down on case by case bases. That is, schools where students test positive should be locked down, or the ones that obviously flout the covid19 safety protocols. France and Israel are doing it like this right now. Parents are allowed to take their children to school and return back home.



6. As we go forward, NCDC should release data of which sector or people that make up the high numbers released daily. For instance, how many of them are students, bankers, lawyers, teachers, medical personal, travellers, wedding/burial or other event attendees,etc. It will help us to know who the main culprits are. Lockdowns can also be done sector by sector. Most European nations do it like that.





I have taken the time to write this because some states are thinking of lockdown again. Please don't lockdown if you can't put the above in place.

2020 was tough because of the long lockdowns, not necessarily because of COVID19.

The government will be shooting themselves in the foot, if they consider another lockdown this new year. chikena

Schools had better be left out o. Virtual learning as we have seen has it's lapses, nothing compares to live learning activities.

Even if,its in streets named nigeria in america,germany,france and uk..u wont get those govt support stated above..if such streets exist.
