I don't think government should be holding meeting through network that is not state-owned...

I was just about to note the same...
I use Zoom, but not sure it’s proper for state affairs.

Then again, what would any spy steal from these ‘tender board’ meetings?

COVID-19 does not know who is a poor or rich Nigerian...
Poor Nigerians will get just as sick (and perhaps die) if they ignore the lockdown.

Oga George, instead of babbling on while safely isolating yourself and family in your comfortable home...
Do something for poor Nigerians in your constituency - after all, you have leached off the Nigerian state all your adult life!

evansjeff:
Thank God for Pastor Adeboye and others, it would have been worse. The media and Nairaland will never show you this, These donations were made more than two weeks ago so it wasn’t even as a result of the criticisms. Even when I created a topic on it. The mods deleted it but any avenue to rain insults on them, straight to front page. Not everyone likes to make noise over what they do like our politicians.

I used to be part of people criticizing them, but from what I’ve realized, it seems there is a deliberate attempt here on Nairaland to demonize these pastors so I quit. I’m not saying they’re perfect, but when they do good, it should also be made known.

Yes, it’s good to see these pastors put other people’s money (tithes) to good community use, instead of buying private jets. Well done Pastor...

PerfectlyPerfect:
Ventilators are standard equipment in any hospital. The government has been claiming to spend billions of naira and we have only 169 ventilators in a country of 200 million people.
You need your head examined

Commonsense99:
Even the 169 ventilators, do we really have electricity to power them?

We need to Sit up if this Nigeria will ever work out.

segzysexy:
Just 169 Ventilators! That's so bad. Instead of our government to equip all the medical institutions in this country they were busy looting the funds for their personal use. Now they are currently the most affected by the epidemic. I just pray they will know the right thing to do after the disappearance of this outbreak.

omoadeleye:
Uhm, 169 ventilators - 159 infected people we have 10 ventilators left ba?

Abegi, some of you need to read beyond just headlines...

It’s 169 in 16 states, but about 500 throughout...
Sorely inadequate, but apparently NONE of the 159 cases thus far has required a ventilator.

We are now bidding against virtually EVERY nation for ventilators...
Accordingly, our best bet is to lockdown, isolate, distance, observe basic hygiene and try to quickly break the chain of infection.

The overwhelming majority of positive cases (80% worldwide) will have mild or no symptoms....
So if we manage to successfully flatten the infection curve quickly, it will not overwhelm our fragile healthcare system.

Joefat:
27 in Kano where dey have no case of the virus.. God is watching

Healthcare didn’t begin and won’t end with COVID-19...
They have other respiratory illnesses in Kano, such as Lassa Fever, Meningitis and even Acute Malaria.
>

okpalaAnambra:
Our cursed Anambra state doesn't even know what a ventilator is let alone of having one, Anambra is mismanaged by that Igala man

Don’t know much about the state...
But I see ventilators in the ICU ward there.

The Isolation ward does not require ventilators....
The cases there will only have mild or no symptoms but still need to be isolate so as not spread the infection.
>

lamentor78:
So the country has less than 200 ventilator s

It says 500 in the piece (second-to-last paragraph)...
Which is still sorely inadequate, but we have not needed any ventilators thus far.
>

Nbote:
But instead of d govt to focusing on getting more and improving generap hospitals atleast to b prepared, dey are busy giving audio money to their almajiris. UK already had over 8500 and ordered more 5000, Trump orderd 5000 more b sent to only New York alone. Countries have asked companies to convert into productions facemasks sanitizers and all dat.. What is our govt doing? Oh dey are giving tradermoni, poorestmoni and fuel reduction moni.... D only hope d masses have ryt now is dat dis shit doesn't hit d roof and spread, otherwise we are doomed

EVERY nation on earth wants ventilators...
It’s like eBay out there, except you are bidding against richer nations.

Meanwhile, none of our 139 cases so far has required a ventilator. Not necessarily surprising as the overwhelming majority of cases will have no or only mild symptoms, so our best bet is to keep the rate of infection down by aggressive contact tracing, social isolation and distancing.
>

Ijeleigbo:
Not just suspension, there should also be free electricity supply. Nigerians this period should not be required to pay for power....

Who will pay for your "free" electricity?

Electricity is a capital good that is presently being generated and distributed by PRIVATE companies, costing them a lot of money...
The companies should be prevailed upon not to disconnect anyone during the lockdown (and a few months thereafter), but they need to be paid!
>

VaselineCrew:
Only if the rest of Nigerians can come out like dem and protest for better governance, a protest that seems 50 years overdue.

I may not agree with these guys ideology, but I salute their courage.

The "courage" of zealots and fundamentalists...

Adakintroy2:


I will answer but answer me this is it sexisI'm when men get sentence for rape but with women there is no provision for same. Pls answer.

Who told you there's no provision for sentencing women for rape.?

Rape has NO gender specification. If proven, the perpetrator gets sentenced...
The disparity in numbers is that most men are too egoistically-fragile to say they were raped.

Focusingmore:
You don't get it, a guy living in Ireland paying 350 per month is renting a room.

Some Nigerians here have their own properties maybe small but it's theirs.

So the false pretence of living better than Nigerians is flawed .

Anyway think why would I lie, I'm doing this for you to know the truth because I'm not the boastful type and I love my peeps

It’s actually the bank’s property...
Until they pay off that mortgage in 25-35 years.

Obviously, there are folks living better in Nigeria as well as folks living better in Ireland.
>

ERockson:
If someone can't make in Ireland after 20yrs. You may not make in Nigeria if you come. Don't be decieve by Nigeria politicians and Yahoo boys in Nigeria

Not necessarily true...
The fact that there is so much that’s yet to be done in Nigeria means there are infinitely more opportunities to do significant things.
>

ERockson:
Pls don't let them come here either because they may not pray for you.

Different strokes for different folks...
Coming to Nigeria was the best thing that ever happened to me (even if I did not realize it then).

It’s not cut-and-dried, but one thing I know for certain is that among our extended family born in the US, everyone who lived or schooled in Nigeria has been MORE successful academically and professionally after returning to the US (and even those of us who choose to remain here).

Phelixblaq:
No be small thing my brother, but I pray you get deported soon so you can come and enjoy with us in Nigeria. Amen

Every other country is fumigating her country.

Since we are locked in, can Nigerian Government fumigate this country, even if it is going to be otapiapia

We are fumigating Lagos...
EKO ONI BAJE!

Adakintroy2:
The way we work out the sex/ adultry argument is pretty high tech even among primitive biblical or traditional men. With sex men seem to possess higher drive compared to women that's not to say women dont have drive but comparatively men have higher. So left for men sex would always be on the cards. In other discensitize that,. Women were giving the right power over sex. More like having the key to the city.

So now if a woman allows a man in she is fully responsible from there on.

Sounds conveniently-sexist...
There’s NO reason a dude who promised God that he will be faithful should be looking for a “key”. It’s not by force to get married.

gambia:
I have to be successful because i like expensive things so love is out of my dictionary for now.

Who told you that love and success are mutually-exclusive?
Heck, nothing better than a partner that ‘puts the wind beneath your wings’.

Oyibo life simple...but without data, food stuff and a chill drink it wont work here and besides some babes will tell u am broke pls send me money for quarantine like we are celebrating something....

Jeremy fell in love at sight, he picked his drone, attached a piece of paper to it with his number and sent it flying to Tori.

I hope he DECONTAMINATED AND ISOLATED that drone afterwards...

There is no cure for the virus. They cured nobody. What are they applauding them for?

For putting their own lives at risk...
51 doctors have died in Italy (including a Nigerian).

Lagos should light up the Ikoyi-Lekki Link Bridge.
