OK! I get it now.
"Egungun don enter express" literally means "Egungun don enter wahala" . In this case, "Ondo state don enter wahala" .

Egungun don enter express, gbege don happen!

That's because the US is where China was in December.

Since then, China brought in measures like lock-downs (Wuhan was locked down for 2 months), extra testing (nowadays, people entering China are tested and quarantined till results come out)...and restriction in travels.

If the US had acted like China from January, they probably would have had less casualties.Instead many Americans were busy ignoring health warnings. Testing was not carried out on time. Trump too messed up a bit by not taking things serious. Then there are large incidences of hypertension, diabetes, obesity...all of which predispose to death from covid 19

(Russia on the other had was taking sterner measures by January..and even then has nearly 2000 cases. Taiwan already had a response setup...thanks to they being badly hit by SARS in 2003...lessons were learned.)

No political game here. Infact the Chinese economy has been hit badly and may take time to recover. Their manufacturing sector was out of action for 3 months...to the point that pollution levels in China massively declined. And with most of their customers out of action...what's the use of making things when no one can buy them.

Apt!

This is embarrassing.

Waiting for the online tribal warriors to arrive.

Better late than never.

I don't have a party and neither is this politics. It is a big good on the side of the presidency to use a flag we do not recognize. We as citizens deserve to know what the flag is and besides, it isn't appropriate to have a party flag as this was a national address.

That flag has always been part of the presidency. I am surprised some people are just noticing it.

It also flies on the president's car and always well displayed behind the president.

GboyegaD:
Which of the armed forces?

All of 'em.

sarrki:
That is the party flag

Every democratically president used the flag of their party side by side the national flag

That is not APC flag. Compare the colours. It is as I mentioned earlier, Armed Forces Flag.

sarrki:
Laila st Mathew asked what was the flag behind President Muhammadu Buhari , while the president address the nation on covid 19 on her Facebook page .

Any idea guys

That is the flag of the Armed Forces.

Unbelievable

StaffofOrayan:
The North is already gone,
Keep being irritated
In 1 year, you would be living in an IDP camp

Nigeria was once SOUTHERN and NORTHERN protectorate, you sound like its a new concept?
Do you read?

I not going to live in any IDP camp.

I guess its your own plans you are voicing out. Quit conjuring baseless crisis on your country Oga.

StaffofOrayan:
I wonder if that bomb differentiated between the house or lives of APC/PDP
Una go get sense for South by force, but I already we are so stuupid we would get used to it
IDP's loading

All these South this, South that is getting irritating abeg.

WeRblessed:
Buhari is not a true leader. What true world leaders are doing in this precarious times are finding solutions on how to help and protect their citizens from the invisible enemy celled COVID-19.

As a matter of fact, Buhari should have been addressing the Nigerian public on a daily basis as to what he and his administrators are putting in place to alleviate fear and panic in the country regarding the pandemic.

I'm wondering why Nigerian people are not demanding for answers from him or as a matter of fact, protest for him to resign.

He shouldn't put himself before the citizens. It's a huge shame that he diverted what is meant to protect the Nigerian people for his and his cabal personal use

Covid19 is not respectable of any leader. Even those on ventilators in New York and Italy are still dying daily.

He has been too silent for comfort. Comparing the response of the Lagos state team and the Federal clearly shows that governance is taken more seriously by Lagos state.

However, saying the materials donated were hijacked by Aso Rock without giving us any proof is dishing out falsehood to the public.

Agboriotejoye:
I honestly think your ability to rationalise and think logically is low and your silly analogy exposed it.
What difference does it make whether they were purchased or donated? And who told you they are not for treatments? Will the medical personnels not wear them when going in to see the patients?
The FG should have done whatever they need do on the materials in Lagos and distributed them however they want to there. That's how to do things in an emergency not introducing bottlenecks. Have you not been watching the news about the response of other nations? Even the US decentralised and handed over power to the states to manage the crisis. Nobody is thinking centrally in terms of logistics and testing but here you are saying rubbish. No wonder we have only two ventilators in the nation's capital. It's dumb citizens like you that encourage such!!

What kind of dunce fellow is this? Purchase and donation mean same to you right? If Lagos state purchases items, does it need to go to Abuja before they use what was purchased? Even if FG purchases items, won't they do sorting before allocating to each state/NCDC?
So wearing PPE is same thing with treatment? Your thinking pattern is an embarrassment.

US has always been a decentralized country but you are definitely too dull to know that. Even despite the 'independence' of the states, have you not been seeing the way the New York governor has been tackling Trump over materials?
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/cuomo-knocks-trumps-claim-ny-ventilators/story?id=69790191

Stop forming smart and shifting the goal post, we all condemn the poor state of the health system in Nigeria. The number of ventilators is not what is being discussed. Even in the US, the strategic stockpile of ventilators is flowing from the Fed to the state, not as decentralized as your little brain conjures. How can items be distributed without a central point? I make bold to say again, that Lagos alone cannot hijack the materials. It is meant for every part of the country. Other parts of the country must also be well prepared against this outbreak.

Agboriotejoye:
See how dis one is thinking about emergency medical supplies in a time if crisis. O maa se o.
I wish I could slap you. Is it meat or cake they're sharing that you're counting father, first born, second born? Who do you like dis?
So you mean if a member of your family is sick in Abuja and the drugs for cure is in Lagos while your dad lives in Kaduna, you'll buy the drugs in Lagos, take it to show your dad in Kaduna before taking it to the sick family in Abuja?
And you're counted among those who went to school o

You are very silly for your rude remarks above. I just used that simple example as an analogy, thinking breaking it down will make some of you with low thinking faculty to understand but I was obviously wrong.

Engage your thinking faculty na, these are not materials purchased, so your example of purchasing drugs does not relate. They are materials donated to the country for prevention efforts. They are not drugs for direct treatment. Materials donated to the country are to be handed over to the FG, who will distribute it appropriately to all the federating units.

States in the far East are as entitled to the materials as states in the extreme North and Lagos. The FG is in a better position to distribute based on criticality and available information. For your information, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control is a parastatal of the FG under the Federal Ministry of Health with Headquaters in Abuja.

The only issue with this approach is the logistic cost and time factor. Otherwise, they are well in order.

clevvermind:
I don't think Buhari can go two times.

When Buhari was his age, he was far ahead of him in fitness.

When Buhari was his age, he has achieved far more than him and has even governed an entire country, commanded troops in battle and served in various capacities.

Let Reno continue fooling himself thinking he is comparable to a two-time president of Nigeria.

DAVE5:
They could have allocated the packages and shared from Lagos at once

Taking everything to abj and sending to other places is double waybill cost, the cost might be ok to be handle by the Nigerian pocket, but then it's still a drain on the Nigerian pocket

This is a very good point. But trust civil servants now. The PS of the ministry and the Minister themselves will want to witness the whole sharing.

Whereas, there is a Federal presence in Lagos. They could have just delegated officials of the Ministry of Health in Lagos to do the sharing then distribute from Lagos to the entire country to save cost.

WeRblessed:
They should have shared it between the states, instead of parking it to Abuja.

So you want to share something that was donated to the entire family in the House of the 1st born? Is that not rudeness to the Father of the House?

what was donated to the family must be taken to the House of the father of the House, for it to be shared for everybody. The only problem and issue I see is the additional logistic cost involved and the time factor. Otherwise, no big deal.

if Lagos state hijacks the materials, some of the people here will be the first persons to raise eyebrow and call them greedy that Lagos is not the only place in Nigeria.

LeeAshava:
As of now the only information we have is that the donations were taken to Abuja and we've not gotten any news as to reasons for that action which is wrong, i think the reasons why it was taken should be stated first or while it's been taken

We cannot say the action is entirely wrong. The donation was made to Nigeria. The seat of govt is Abuja. So it falls under the purview of the the Federal Ministry of Health to receive the materials and then distribute round the country as they deem fit.

If the materials were directly donated to Lagos state, then there is no need to take them to Abuja. The Lagos state govt will receive them directly.

I am sure it does not make sense for materials donated to Nigeria to be hijacked by only Lagos state.

A lot of politicians in Nigeria are just thugs who butchered their way into office.

Untill the reasonable and good guys decide to give the thugs fire for fire during election period, it will continue like that with thugs dictating political outcomes.

Good.

They should add all countries in the world abeg, till global efforts gets a hold of the pandemic.

ursullalinda:
Hahaha.......they lie about everything.......seems he reduced his age with 20years hahaha.......Abeg leave politicians and their football age.

So with the picture of Yahaya Bello you have been seeing, he looks 64 years to you?

helinues:
Fake news spotted.

What was shown by the OP is from Twitter.

What you are showing us is from Vanguard website.

The two are different.

Abeg we don tire for Oshiomole news. Let's go back to Coronavirus and Gas explosion.

oforjide:
how pls bro drop sentiment and read the information very well. As it stands now, APC has no national chairman according to the authentic information

You are not interpreting the judgement accurately, maybe because of sentiments.

The court ruling on which basis Geidom secured an High court order to take over has been vacated by an higher court.

Therefore, any ruling/action/inaction related to that intial FCT High Court ruling has become null void consequent to the Appeal Court ruling.

seunmsg:
This is not the time to seek for any useless reconciliation. Those guys went too far already in their quest to remove the chairman and destabilize the party. They must be expelled from the party so as to serve as a lesson to others.

....and let it be enshrined in the skulls of political office holders that the party is supreme!

It is only in Nigeria that party leaders will be treated as skum by political office holders because of majority of people's ass-licking attitude to those occupying supposedly 'enviable positions'.

Oshiomole has refused to do this ass-licking and wants the aberration reversed.

He is able to this because he has recently been in office as a successful 2-term gov and as someone who has a strong personality and also a disciplined politician.

Good reporting

Nyamiri:
You're a loser, an ignorant one at that.
Does the constitution of the party allow a ward suspend a National officer of the party?

I just tire. Nigerians are not naturally disposed to doing things the right way. So far an issue is in their favour, notwithstanding the anomaly in play, they will be supporting that course of action.

It is very obvious that the Anti-Oshiomole agents do not have the numbers to democratically remove him, but trust hypocritical Nigerians, they are going all over the internet supporting them, just because they don't like the man.

We have serious problem with the mentality of a lot of people in this country. We are not innately democratic.

Everybody just wants to have his/her way based on their personal disposition.

Philinho:
They should all go to hell.... Suspended at home ,working at d center.... You're a party member at home b4 you can be anything at federal level.But its Bubu's judiciary .

Lol. you sound disappointed that Oshiomole seems to be having the upper hand.

Mynd44, OAM4J see more opinions.
