Thought 5 have been discharged in Edo? Why still 15 cases?

Is NCDC a scam?

That's how they normally do it, even osun 20 cases remain 1 or 2 in isolation but we still keep seeing 20 cases.


I hope our security operatives can be fateful to themselves at least for once to man every point of exit and entry to the state but alars , money must change hand .

Lagos is epicenter and Buhari decided to make Noth (katsina) a palliative center, total wickedness

Iamgrey5:
Lock down has failed in Nigeria.

Even if government were sincere, they can't feed all the poor people in Nigeria for three to four weeks.

We need a new innovative method to limit the spread of the disease.

It has failed because of people like op and his lots in the market. If I may ask, what is he looking for in the market during lockdown? May God just protect us.

I always like your post but this is no, it clearly shows that you haven't take this issue serious before.

Upon all the noise ,you still deem it fit to visit bar that have probably not been fumigated with friend.


With your kinds , I pray we don't go the way of Equador.

According to our government, they said convid19 has made them learnt that the health situation in the country is so deplorable.


Now they are about to learn the second lesson through convid19 that our security in the country is also in deplorable condition.

dirtydiva:
We are not praying for it but at least let some people find food chop. In my case, I hv not bn paid salary because of lockdown which affected my company and head office at VI Lagos and I m left begging for survival as I just started work new as a staff but if dey relax maybe I can receive salary when it is bn approved and stock up house

You will probably support the guy you quoted If eventually you have received salary and stucked up like you said , have you ever imagine those that doesn't have any salary to stuck up bro? The whole things burn down to the fact that , nothing good comes easy, it's either we go on lockdown and win war with this demon virus or we go the Equador way, God forbid.

5: The Statue Was Originally Meant for Egypt

The statue’s sculptor Bartholdi did not craft the design of Liberty originally for America. The story go ones like this, Bartholdi as a young man visited Egypt and was quickly drawn by the project underway to dig a channel between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.


At the 1867 Paris World fair, he met with the Khedive, the then leader of Egypt, and proposed creating a work as wondrous as the pyramids or sphinxes. He then made up an initial design of a colossal woman holding up a lamp and wearing the loose fitting dress of a fellah, a slave, to stand as a lighthouse at the entrance of the Suez Canal. Unfortunately, or fortunately a deal couldn’t be struck and Bartholdi decided to turn to America to pitch his immortal piece.

4: The Face of the Statue of Liberty Could be that of a Man




Most people think of the Statue of Liberty to be a she, but could it really be a he?

A good chunk of people are believe it’s a representation of the Roman goddess of freedom, Libertas. Though it is widely believed that Bartholdi modeled her face after his mother. Countering this, Author Elizabeth Mitchell, claims that the sculptor actually used his brother’s face as a model!

She admitted studying photographs of Bartholdi’s family, where she noticed his mother had a different eyebrow shape, thinner nose and lips, and smaller mouth. She also pointed out the striking resemblance between the sculptor’s brother in his adult years and the statue.

Another theory was presented by a French writer Nathalie Salmon, who claims Lady Liberty was modeled after her ancestor Sarah Salmon. According to her, Bartholdi found Sarah’s features particularly beautiful. Even though she had immigrated to the United States, she and her husband visited the sculptor at his studio when they briefly went back to Paris in 1875. He could’ve used that opportunity to draw Sarah, and later used those images as a model.

3: Its Base is a Fort

Constructed between 1807 and 1811, Fort Wood on Liberty Island took the shape of an eleven sided star. The pedestal of the Statue of Liberty was constructed within the old fort. The construction supporting the pedestal was designed by French engineer and architect; Gustave Eiffel The fort is situated along with brick houses next to it, was home to Army families from 1811 to the 1930s. It currently hosts museums that show the history of the Statue with old photographs, videos, recorded oral stories, and the original torch Lady Liberty was holding in 1886.

2: It Once Served As a Lighthouse

The statue was originally meant to serve as a lighthouse for ships sailing into New York Harbor. For two years, it did serve that purpose while its iconic lamp served as its beacon for 16 years. Though this lamp wasn’t bright enough, and, running out of ideas to fix it, its sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi offered to cover the entire statue in gold to make it brighter. Congress rejected the idea citing how expensive the venture would be.

Congress said no to that idea since it would’ve been crazy expensive.

It might be really hard to picture it, but when the Statue actually arrived from France, when the country donated it to the USA on June 17, 1885, it was in over 300 copper pieces. The highly regarded, precious cargo was traveling in 214 crates on the French ship, Isère. We must note that the arm holding the torch wasn’t there, yet. It was standing in Madison Square Park for 6 years to help raise money to sponsor the pedestal.

200,000 people came to welcome the statue to the United States as the ship arrived US soil. The official dedication ceremony took place on October 28, 1886, with then US President Grover Cleveland presiding over it.
