That's 25% of test came out positive. That's good news as it shows most people actually have it but it's not killing people that much here in Nigeria.

I have always said that our government likes to copy the white hook line and sinker without trying to see if there can be a different local way of handling things peculiar to our own system and environment.

I have always been against the total lockdown of the economy here in Nigeria because the virus thrives in temperate region more than it does in tropical region. In addition, it has symptoms similar to the common flu which kills thousands yearly in the western world but we easily survive it here.

Another thing there been hiding is that about 70% of those who died from covid-19 are obese which is a common health challenge in the west.

From these observations, I concluded that we shouldn't copy the western style of total lockdown but rather just allow every activities to go on while we observe the basic social distance and hygiene rule but many people disagreed with me.

I read the comments from page 1 through page 3 and I see how most people avoided calling his mother names, some even went as far as rationalising her actions.

I wonder if it will be the same lenient comments if it were to be the father treating him like that.

That will be the first good news coming out of Nigeria in a long while.

The truth they have been hiding is that over 70% of covid 19 fatalities is linked to obesity which is a primary health problem in the western world.

Good move in my opinion.

In biology, there is an occurrence called Natural Selection.
The fittest survive while the not so fit are weeded out.

That's what Covid 19 is trying to achieve.

Why starve WHO of funds at this critical time? Trump is too emotional joor

I believe many people may have other ideas.

I don't know if Lalasticlala can give it a wider audience.

Trump is opening opportunity for the Chinese to start funding WHO
This Trump guy too dey quick vex sef

I believe the move is just to remind the WHO that he who beats the piper dictates the tune.

US President Donald Trump says he has instructed his administration to halt funding to the World Health Organization (WHO).
He said the WHO had "failed in its basic duty" in its response to the coronavirus outbreak.
He accused the UN body of mismanaging and covering up the spread of the virus after it emerged in China, and said it must be held accountable.
Mr Trump has previously accused the WHO of being biased towards China.
The US president has himself come under criticism at home over his handling of the outbreak.
"I am directing my administration to halt funding while a review is conducted to assess the World Health Organization's role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus," Mr Trump told a news conference at the White House.
"The WHO failed in its basic duty and it must be held accountable," he added.
Reacting to Mr Trump's remarks, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said now was "not the time" to be cutting resources for the WHO.
The US is the WHO's biggest single funder, providing $400m (£316m) last year - just under 15% of its total budget.
China's contribution in 2018-19 was almost $76m in assessed contributions and about $10m in voluntary funding, according to the WHO website.

It is not only in Lagos and Ogun states, for weeks residents of Ibadan South West LGA have been facing theirs seriously from these robbers which have resulted in cases of casualties. It's a situation that seemed to have worsened as a result of the curfew. I will not be surprised if the story is the same all over Oyo state and its environs.

It appears you stay in Agbowo area

Same thing Jere in Ibadan.

Who is pushing thread to front pages this days in nairaland, 90% of the people who visit nairaland don't benefit from Oil. Wether Oil price is high or low..., Most people here don't rip the benefits

As Nigeria's economy is oil-dependent, then we are all affected either directly or indirectly by the price of crude oil in the international market.

There are some merits in this policy, I believe. For example, in my university days, most of my classmates were very intelligent and bright but they were extremely young. I wasn't too old or too young but as a person who has varied life experiences including sponsoring myself for the most part, experience berekete.

Omo na so I use 'GERONTOCRACY' finish them o.

I came out top of the class and now working hard to get to top of the world, so help me God.

After this is over, China should be sued by every country. They are the only country who has fully recovered but all the technics they claim to use are showing little to know improvements. Their GDP is fast increasing while the rest of the world is dropping massively. China is becoming a world power! This could be a plot.

This is one of the very few advantages of being a communist state. They were able to enforce a strict sit-at-home order and the result was being able to stem the tide of corona virus spread.
That's pretty much difficult to achieve in a democracy.

After Spain, the Czech Republic has reported that the majority of coronavirus test kits provided by China are faulty.
Up to 80 per cent of the 150,000 portable, quick coronavirus test kits, China delivered to the Czech Republic earlier this month were faulty, National Review reported citing local Czech news site Expats.cz.
The test can produce a result in 10- 15 minutes but are really less accurate than other tests.
Because of the high error rate, the country will continue to rely on conventional laboratory tests, of which they perform about 900 a day.
The country's Health Ministry paid USD 546,000 for 100,000 of the test kits, while the Interior Ministry paid for the other 50,000.
This comes after Spanish health authorities have warned that the rapid coronavirus tests that the country purchased from China are faulty. They are not consistently detecting positive cases, thereby showing an accuracy level below 30 per cent, making them unusable.
In view of the incredibly high error rate of the kits, Spain-- one of the worst-hit by Covid-19, with deaths surpassing over 4,800-- has announced that it is sending back the first batch of Covid-19 testing kits that it received from China.
