I did, and I think the thought of predicting NodeJs would die because of an alternative developed by the same guy behind Nodejs is sickening... that's why I said they need to sort out their issues in that ecosystem.
What is the usefulness of the media establishments we have in the country if y'all keep attacking NCDC and FG for not releasing pictures of covid patients
TheGoodJoe: To make it clear. The government should start a massive intervention in Kano State. It must not be through the Governor but the actions should kick off immediately.
But they're already doing that now... TheGoodJoe, chai!!!
TheGoodJoe: With a possibility of over 600 people dead and hundreds infected by Covid-19, can you tell me a better time for the channel of Money to Kano State?
As soon as Buhari channelled money to Lagos, he should have released some money to States for urgent preventive measures with a clear work and expenditure plan.
To get you clear, are you insinuating that the FG should release 15 billion naira to Ganduje because he requested for it?
“The state government order is that security agents should escort them away to where they said they were going to, and that is the West, either Ogun or Lagos state.”
Ahh Lagos don suffer ooo. Why do they all keep going to Lagos from the North
EdidemLord: A woman in my street has been suspected to be positive to Kovid-19.She is a nurse in one of the hospitals in Eti-Osa LGA. She goes to work and come back everyday.She's been sick for a while and yesterday we saw some people suspected to be NCDC officials(based on their dressing PPE) came and took her away..She has a husband but no children....... . . . The whole street is in disarray because we expected them to pick everyone in that compound expecially the husband for quarantining.... . . we are doing our part by stopping people from going to that compound and also stopping the children in that compound from coming to play with children in ours...... . . Please help pass this message till it gets to the appropriate Authority.....
This is a face me I face you area and one can imagine how bloody it could look if it goes out of hand.... The Area is Market street. Ojo Local Govt Lagos off police corner bustop
If you can, reach out to the Lagos state governor's media aide, he'll help you out asap https://twitter.com/Mr_JAGss/
Ganduje still aint getting any kobo from anybody... the guys reputation is badly battered, instead of donating money to him, people are buying Medical and Humanitarian products and donating it to kano instead, while Lagos is getting both money and physical item donation
Wike would now understand that no Company likes a bully as a Governor , harassing investors, locking up business premesis and forcing expatraites to relocate, One kobo nobody is donating to the loud thug
.
I like what is happening to Wike but he has made subtle threats to punish companies domiciled in Rivers state who didn't contribute so let's wait to see if he'll carry out his threats
Keemsleek005: Good bless you, i dont know why people just dont read or what so ever.its not about money now but were to get the reagents cos its scare. Every contry are scrambling to lay there hands on the available ones. God will see us through.
Amen sir.
It's not as if the information that will make people better informed is not out there but the reason why people don't read is just that they need to stay uninformed and ignorant so they can always find something to blame the government for.
Memberclub: Then explain how Ghana & south Africa have done over 220,000 test combined. Kenya started doing mass testing yesterday in villages. This country is run by a bunch of illiterates
I specifically mentioned Lagos, not Nigeria.
You are comparing three countries with a sub-national Lagos state? Interesting sir.
Wickedfact: The numbers of Covid19 infections in Lagos is more than what was projected. Lagos has more than 3,000 samples awaiting testing due to shortage of reagents.
There is fire on the mountain.
The governor has stated that he has already signed for the procurement of more reagents and they're expecting it this week in Lagos,
The reason for the shortage of reagents in Lagos is simply because it has been difficult to buy from the international market due to its scarcity and not because there is no money or the COVID funds have been stolen by LASG
ManOfSteel2: That man using his side chick's panties as makeshift face mask is the real deal.... Same was almost my fate when I and my "girl" were denied entry into firstbank branch farin-gada market, Plateau state. Looked left and right for any available mask to buy, since they made it mandatory before entry, but none was in sight... Coincidentally left my white "hankie" at home, she came with hers.... Couldn't believe my ears when she made the offer..... Crazy girl!
Racoon: I am not in support of relaxing this lockdown because we are in the period of community transmission with super spreader still among us.Ask Ghana for further details.
Well, it's not been an easy decision to make, I don't envy the difficult position the governor is in right now. The government is already feeling the brunt of economic lockdown and feel there needs to be a balance with a gradual reopening of economic activities. Also, the state government is under pressure from the private sector who have been counting their losses and who are majorly the drivers of the state economy; a sustained lockdown could collapse the economy so a gradual easing of the lockdown with stringent measures put in place to avoid a second wave is welcome. But if things go south, ...
…Markets to open for three days weekly in alternation
…Governor releases numbers for whistleblowers to report erring companies
The five-week lockdown imposed by the Federal Government on Lagos State and two other states to combat Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) will be eased on Monday (tomorrow), but Lagos State Government has asked all its civil servants not to resume for work immediately.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in a briefing on Sunday at the State House in Marina, said the delayed resumption of the State’s workforce is a deliberate attempt to prevent a development that may lead to a crowding of people on the roads and public places.
Only emergency workers and those on essential duties will be allowed to work on Monday, the Governor said.
Sanwo-Olu said the State’s civil service offices would be re-opened for business on Tuesday, but only officers from Grade Level 15 and above would be required to be in the office. If any junior-ranked officer must be at work, the Governor said the Accounting Officer of the Ministry must give clearance to the officer.
Sanwo-Olu said: “In amending the work guidelines earlier issued, which stopped members of the public service from Grade Level 1 to 12 from going to work; we have had to review this position and we are extending the directive to all civil servants, regardless of level. All civil servants must stay away from work on Monday.
“On Tuesday, only officers from Grade Level 15 and above have express permission to come to work. All other essential officers that may need to be at work will be informed by the Accounting Officer of each Ministry as may be required.
“From Monday on, there will be curfew from 8pm to 6am and all movement within these hours are prohibited, except for people on essential services, which are agro-products, petroleum products, relief materials and food supplies.
“We want to use this as a demonstration of our commitment to gradual easing of the lockdown. We do not want people to rush out tomorrow and see the easing of the lockdown as an attempt to believe that the spread of the pandemic is all over.”
As part of the moves by the State Government to prevent crowding in public places, the Governor directed all markets to open for three days weekly in alternation. Food markets across the State are to be opened only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9am to 3pm.
Non-food markets, Sanwo-Olu directed, shall only open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays within the stipulated hours. He said all traders must put on face mask and provide hand sanitizers in their markets.
It is compulsory for any resident that must be in public places to face mask, the Governor said.
Also, banks and other private firms must open businesses with 60 per cent of staff strength, while also operating within the hours of 9am and 3pm. The Governor enjoined the privately-owned companies and manufacturing firms to arrange for the transportation of their essential staff that would be at work.
Gov. Sanwo-Olu, however, extended the operating hours for eateries and restaurants from 9am to 7pm, due to Ramadan fasting. But the Governor said restaurants and eateries must not allow their customers to eat-in. Food must be served food only take-away packs and delivery, Sanwo-Olu directed.
All regulations initiated by the State Government must be strictly adhered to by public and private companies and members of the public, the Governor warned.
He urged members of the public to report any erring company to the Government through the State’s whistleblowing policy. Sanwo-Olu gave out three hotlines through the which whistleblowers can report those flouting the State’s guidelines. The numbers are: 09010513197, 09010513198, 09010513199.
Earlier on Sunday, Gov. Sanwo-Olu held a virtual meeting with 40 traditional rulers and 57 local council chairmen across the State, discussing the State Government’s guidelines on easing the lockdown. The Governor urged monarchs and the council chairmen to disseminate all advocacy messages and guidelines to residents in their domains, stressing that the grassroots must be adequately informed on regulations initiated to ease the lockdown.
“Today, I had a useful discussion with 40 paramount traditional rulers in the State and 57 LGA chairmen. I am satisfied with suggestions coming out of these meetings. It is really about collaborative efforts and using these leaders as champions to disseminate all information and advocacy to the grassroots,” the Governor said.
The Governor allayed the fear of residents on movement, urging them to keep to the hygiene tips. He said the State had opened a dedicated isolation centre for health and emergency workers infected in the line of duty.
Sanwo-Olu said the State will be embarking on aggressive testing in community, noting that the Government had collected 3,000 samples that were yet to be tested due to global shortage of reagent used for molecular testing.
He said: “We have 3,000 samples collected but we have not been able to carry the test because of global shortage of reagent for molecular testing. We are hoping that some of the reagents will be supplied tomorrow and Tuesday.
“We made order for more reagents because of cases we have seen and it would not be out of place to see positive cases in the range of 20 per cent out of the 3,000 samples collected. We are improving the capacity of our isolation facilities in preparation to take care of more patients.”
Starting from Tuesday, the Governor directed the release of all vehicles seized for flouting the lockdown to their owners free of charge. The vehicles in this category include those seized not later than April 14.
Sanwo-Olu said all decisions taken by the State Government were adopted in the belief to protect all residents from the ravaging pandemic.
“We will continue to do our very best and maintain high level of transparency in the disbursement of resources donated towards the fight against COVID-19,” the Governor said.
