With all due respect....
PEOPLE SHOULD STOP WASTING SCARCE TESTING RESOURCES!

COVID-19 testing is NOT cheap...
And the needed re-agents are in SHORT SUPPLY, because every nation across the world needs it!

Unless, there is a real reason (contact tracing, etc) to suspect so...
Not every Tunde, Dike, or Haruna can just stroll into the CDC to demand a test.

PRESS STATEMENT FROM LIVING FAITH CHURCH ON CHURCH SERVICE OF MARCH 22, 2020

*Coronavirus: Compliance with Government Order – Matters Arising*

It has become necessary to issue this statement to clarify issues surrounding why Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, the International Headquarters of Living Faith Church in Ogun State, held church service on Sunday, although with less than half of her regular worshippers.

There have been diverse responses varying from well-meaning concerns to uncharitable insinuations, misinterpretations, and unfounded allegations that the service was held in deliberate defiance of Ogun State Government ban on high-density gatherings, in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. Nothing can be further from the truth.

For avoidance of doubt, as stakeholders and as a responsible organisation, Living Faith Church fully supports and encourages compliance with all initiatives of government to combat the spread of this dreaded virus. However, information has to be strategically disseminated to the grassroot, noting that the Church is a family and not an industry, it is for this reason that enlightenment and sensitization from the Church platform is a most effective way to get people involved in playing their part in terms of prayers and intercessions and not just staying away from Church without knowing what to do.

Should have stopped reading there...

You could easily have stopped people at the gate and explain why...
The rate of transmission of Covid-19 does not warrant the risk of "enlightening" them inside.

Just apologize and do better...
Instead of trying to insult our collective intelligence. SMH

Taking action on the distant past is like closing the gate after the cattle have gone.
Let’s just focus on being positive, doing the right things for ourselves, our families, friends, and communities. Gee! I thought it was all Buhari's fault!! Guess not!! Everyone is capable of screwing things up!! Not Just one person!! Unless your Buhari & everything is his doing & fault!! Pretty sad ! Every administration has some things that could have been done better!! But they should be judged over time , even after they leave!! We don’t know what goes on behind the close doors !! Anyways they don't even know where the land borders are. Even right now planes are coming from US, UK, etc landing in the airports.. about the virus is Looking more like a coordinated effort with China with many people involved. Charles Lieber, college professor at Harvard arrested for ties with China. He was arrested for lying about his ties with China. Some sources are saying Corona virus and others aren’t. He’s an American chemist. There were 3 arrested. Kathleen Sturtz Eannottie Get on the Internet and Google it. All media sources are reporting it however I would suggest trusting the media source you believe in. Some of the media is spinning it differently.

So China killed 3200+ of its citizens so it can infect the West?
At a time of seriousness, nothing distracts more than irrational conspiracy theories.

The least you should have done was advise him to call the NCDC hotline.

Compliance:
It is high time we explore the option of a total shutdown. The number is still minimal now and can be controlled easily.

And meanwhile, let all Nigerians get tested while they stay indoor as a matter of compulsion. This will help us a know the extent of the spread and tackle the virus fiercely once and for all.

NO country has that capacity...
Certainly not Nigeria with its estimated 200m citizens.

That's an unfortunate reality though...
Because, as seen across the world, the more tests the more cases.

ednut1:
I just got back should have remained abroad

What difference would that have made?
The crucial thing now is INDIVIDUAL behavior regardless of where you are.

eduman365:
God is in control...

But honestly, FG caused this nonsense. They should have shut down our airways since last week but delayed it for their own selfish interest cos they wanted their kids to come back home. This disease was brought in die-minute by Europe returnees..

The COVID-19 pandemic is like nothing else...
Accordingly, EVERY nation is making it up as they go along.

Usually most countries would not (and should not) stop citizens returning home...
And all but 2 cases (1 by land) so far has been NIGERIANS returning and their contacts.

This is serious. No keke, no bikes, and very limited BRT buses. Very flawed transport system in Lagos and a very incompetent government at the helm of affairs.

God what a mess.

Forgive me my sins and In my next life Father please don't make me a Nigerian.

Olalekank:
I thought we are not supposed to go out

Is it everyone that can enter BRT?
I don't see how people won't have bodily contact on danfo which is the popular means of transport.

Where are you people rushing off to?

Folks are being warned to socially distance and isolate themselves...
If enough people will heed the warning, the buses will not be crowded.

If they don't cancel they'll be the only one in the venue.

I took out a moment again to go and read his memo, no where did he mention closing the border as you guys want to believe. I suspect that if you investigate this matter further, this child of his could be a returnee.

No need for politics, this shit is serious matter. Like one of you said, it can affect anyone. Just learn to apply social distancing.

Nonsense upon nonsense.

Covid19 is a strain of Corona virus. Just like SARS, Mers.

Stop confusing yourself please

Exactly! Many viral infections (eg, flu) are caused by different strains of the coronavirus...

.
The MORE they test...
The MORE cases will be confirmed.

No nation is immune from COVID-19
Everyone is making it up as they go along.

Good luck to us all!

9jatriot:
A few days ago this guy was playing politics with this thing, when we tell people that this shit is serious, they do not believe.

How exactly was he "playing politics"?
By asking the government to be proactive? SMH

Kingosytex:
Sorry I was a bit rude, that's not my usual self.

@Kingosytex, much respect...
But @kestolove95 totally EARNED AND DESERVED the comment (which is not rude under the circumstances).

Even if she was too visually-challenged to see the stationary truck on the road...
There is a proper time and place for everything, even on Nairaland. Just so uncouth, crass and classless! SMH

RIP to the dead.

It was the same with other countries...
NO flight bans have started immediately.

oz4real83:
As developed as Italy, USA and many other countries are, they are still finding it difficult to contain the virus how much more under-developed Nigeria , and yet, the Nigerian govt was quiet to the plea of many Nigerians that all our borders should be closed until the virus is contained. It is when the virus has finally entered the country before the govt decided to listen to the plea of the people. May God continue to protect us from these sort of leaders we have in Nigeria. May their souls rest in peace.

Is there anything that happens anywhere in the world that some of you won't find a way to bash Naija with? SMH

May all of the dead RIP.

Blue3k:
Niger Republic is tiny fraction of overall trade even within Africa. Lol your dancing over few pennies you get from them really? Dont assume I your lame family that doesn't know the value of a dollar. The charts show it's pretty insignificant overall.

Didnt say you cant export power. It would be more beneficial to sell it domestically.

You simply keep repeating your incomprehensible and increasingly crude gibberish, so there’s not much else to add here...

In Nigeria, this can only happen in Lagos...

CONGRATS!

If the agency wants to be taken seriously...
It can start by summoning the dude caught on tape stuffing dollars into his Babanriga! SMH

Nigeria is probably the only place in the world that a political officeholder actually videotaped stuffing bribe money into his pockets - on several different occasions - will not only be left to continue presiding over the affairs of other citizens, but would get re-elected (or rigged in), and have the chutzpah to dismiss and seek to banish (in a supposed democracy in the 21st century) someone, and still receive applause and support.

WHAT A PRIMITIVE ZOO!
