The official government position says only one casualty so far, and others injured. In light of the numerous evidence here, I have no reason to disbelief him. But you can prove me wrong.

Only slightly related but Twitter link of Reno Omokri sharing a video of protest held today at the Nigerian Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa and alleging it to be that of protesters at Tinubu's house in Boudillon. By the time the dust settles, there will be a lot of nashing of teeth but it will be too late. This same video is now on nairaland frontpage and no fact checking by the mods. Lagos is undergoing a coordinated attack by 5th columnists.

xperiencelove:You don't have to worry about that. The loans cannot be embezzled because the Chinese government will only release the money directly to the contractor after Nigeria signs that the project has been delivered. No Nigerian government official comes in contact with the money. Nigeria has engaged the services of the Italians to ensure that the projects are built according to European standards.

FrLukas:Don't let western media fool you. China is advancing technologically and at a very rapid rate. Last year, China had the highest number of patents registered globally, surpassing the US by far. Last year, Chinese telecom giant Huawei alone, topped the world by filing 4,411 patent applications. Huawei came up with 5g and are already working on 6g while the US is left clutching at straws. Infrastructurally, the US is playing catch-up as China already has bullet trains and brand new roads, airports and bridges. The infrastructure in the US is obsolete. While America was spending trillions on its military on needless wars, China was focused on building their infrastructure and lifting their people out of poverty. Hate it or love it, China is unstoppable at this point. 1 Like |

Most times, what Nigerians call "Connection" is what is known as "Networking" in the employment sphere. Globally, it is still the number one way people get hired in most industries and is generally preferred by HR professionals. Getting a qualified candidate for a job is not as easy as it seems hence the reliance on recommendations from already trustworthy individuals. Networking isn't a bad thing as long as one is qualified for the job, it is nepotism and cronyism that should be frowned upon. Networking, like any other skill, can be learned. Although, most times it is about being in the right place at the right time. Young graduates should strive to improve their networks. 16 Likes 3 Shares |

French speaking African countries are so comfortable that they deposit their foreign exchanges in the French Central Bank? They are so comfortable that they continue to pay colonization tax to France several years after "Independence"? No, they simply don't have a choice. Have you ever wondered why France has such a huge military presence in the French speaking African countries? The truth is France never gave these countries their independence. Thank your stars Nigeria wasn't colonized by the French.

DexterousOne:If having a regional currency provides a buffer to European countries from individual shocks then why do they prevent Africa from doing the same? Emmanuel Macron spent last year's Christmas in Africa where he hijacked the proposed West African single currency ECO by renaming the CFA franc to ECO, with the help of his stooge, Alassane Ouattara of the Ivory Coast. The ECO was due to be launched in 2020 and talks have been going on for years. As a form of bribe, he conceded that Francophone African countries need not save 50% of their foreign exchange in the French central bank anymore. Do you know that French speaking African countries still pay Colonization tax to France till this day? The Asian Tigers did not grow merely by adopting IMF policies, that is false. They were propped up by the West as a form of checkmating the influence of the Soviet Union in the region during the cold war. They enjoyed things like technology transfer, foreign aid, investments, access to the large western markets and some elements of protectionism to enable them grow. None of these were due to devaluation. Africa didn't enjoy all of these because we were already more or less conquered and the incentive to lure us away from the Soviets was not there. Japan even had to pay a huge sum of money to South Korea as restitution for having occupied their country. Where is the restitution from the West for both slave trade and colonialism? Instead, we are the ones paying restitution to them. Historically, the West had to adopt protectionism to grow some of their industries but today, any country attempting to do the same will be immediately crippled through sanctions and tariffs. I ask again, why should devaluation be our only economic strategy as Africans? China today is being vilified by the West simply because they now see them as an economic threat, whereas the wealth of American capitalists was built on cheap labour from Chinese workers. They are now threatening to pull their industries from China which is a little too late as the cost of labour in China is beginning to rise due to their rising middle class. India and Vietnam is the next destination for cheap labour and even some Chinese businesses are beginning to outsource some of its production to Vietnam in preparation for the gradual phasing of China into a service based economy as is obtainable in America and Britain. Every country or region should be allowed to phase its own path free from encumbrances. 12 Likes 1 Share |

pluto09:Are you sure we don't produce anything that can be sold to earn dollars? I would give an example with agriculture. Africa accounts for 75% of global cocoa production but only gains 2% of a 100 billion dollar market for chocolate. Quick questions, why does the price of cocoa keep dropping, but the price of chocolate never drops? Why would the price of cotton fall, but the price of textiles never fall? Why would the price of coffee beans fall but the price of brewed coffee never fall? Africa is projected to spend over 110 billion dollars importing food from the West by 2025, majority of these foodstuff are what we can produce here in Africa. Akinwumi Adesina recently proposed to invest 25 billion dollars of Africa's money to improve our value chain in agriculture in order to address this and all of a sudden, he isn't good enough for the United States? I am not laying all Nigeria's or Africa's problems solely at the feet of the "White Man" but to pretend not to see how foreign policies like devaluation are detrimental to Africa in an already skewed global system would be very preposterous. 21 Likes 3 Shares |

NL1960:This is exactly the point I'm trying to make. You have to see the hypocrisy behind this. Once upon a time in Nigeria, everything was almost free for the citizens, Healthcare, Education, Water, Government freebies, the naira was strong, everywhere soft. Then came some white men but this time, not in uniforms but with suit and tie. They told our leaders to stop those handouts, remove subsidy, devalue the naira, privatize everything, etc, in exchange for loan. They called it Structural Adjustment Programme ( SAP). Shagari who was the President was about to sign on it when General Buhari overthrew his government and refused to sign. After a few years, Buhari was ousted in a coup in what some analysts say was foreign sponsored. In came IBB, the Evil Genius. The white men in suit approached Nigeria again. To give his decision some semblance of approval, he threw the floor open to the populace through townhall meetings and despite a greater percentage of Nigerians being against the policy, he went ahead to sign. Nigeria was never the same again after that. The hypocrisy is that, when it suits them, the White men still provide food stamps to the poor, bail out their failing industries and subsidize their farmers. The very same thing which they say we must never do. Instead, they keep telling us that the only solution lies in devaluing our naira. And we've been forced to do that on several occasions making them richer in the process, but things keep getting worse for us. "Devalue further " they say. Sadly, some of us still believe them. https://punchng.com/nigeriansll-pay-higher-electricity-tariffs-fg-promises-imf/ 9 Likes 1 Share |

Theconglomerate:Can you kindly name a country where devaluation worked as an economic model? The IMF and co who are the drivers of such policies never recommend it to themselves when in similar position, only to African and poorer south east Asian countries. When Italy and Greece faced financial crisis, the EU quickly bailed it with several billions of dollars but curiously, there was no recommendation for devaluation, subsidy removal and other conditionalities that comes with such loans when Africa is involved. In 2016, the then President of the IMF, Christine Lagarde was in Nigeria to personally pressurize Buhari to devalue the naira, Buhari kept resisting until he could no longer resist anymore. The result? Immediately he devalued, Nigeria went into full scale recession. Why hasn't devaluation worked for countries like Zimbabwe and now Venezuela? At a point in Zimbabwe, it was cheaper to use the Zimbabwean dollar to plaster your house than to buy a bucket of paint. One piece of egg cost more than five thousand Zimbabwean dollars. Zimbabwe became the only country in history where everyone was a millionaire but still poorer than a church rat. I would leave you to research what Venezuela is currently going through. Nigeria has been devaluing since the 1980s and apart of putting less money in our pockets and reducing our purchasing power, nothing has changed. It is one of the greatest weapon of neo-colonialists and it is only designed to make the poor countries poorer. Sad thing is they now sell some of these policies through our foreign trained sons and daughters in form of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and co. People like Adesina of the AFDB who are pro Africa are blackmailed and removed from their spots when they do not conform. Open your eyes! The same West that tells us to stop all forms of subsidy still provide subsidies to their farmers as seen in America and the EU. Excess products are sold to Africa at a rate where our local markets cannot compete. Our solutions must come from within and must be locally tailored, not text book based! Devaluation has not and will never work in Nigeria, at least for now. Shalom! 37 Likes 5 Shares |

Sadly, a large percentage of Nigerian youths don't read and can barely reason critically. It's called an ISOLATION center for a reason, not an ADMISSION ward. The logic is not only to treat infected people but to prevent them from infecting others. Covid 19 has an R nought of 2.5, which means an infected person infects roughly 3 people, that's where the exponential growth occurs. The reason why Nigeria's cases are not growing exponentially as seen in some other countries is largely due to this compulsory isolation strategy. The US with the highest number of cases has no isolation center and that's why their cases keep growing. Only VERY SICK people are admitted and that's why we seem to think all Covid 19 cases are supposed to be severe, whereas 50% of cases are asymptomatic and 45% will only exhibit mild symptoms. The remaining 5% are those whom we see in hospitals across the West. This shows that the disease is far more widespread in the US than the official numbers are saying. For every positive case we isolate, we prevent 3 more people from becoming positive. That's the strategy! The virus has a fatality rate of 2%, that means for every 100 persons that gets infected, only 2 will die. Seems small right? Wrong! 2% of 200 million which is the approximate population of Nigeria is 4 million people! Are we still willing to sacrifice 4 million people by letting it spread through Nigeria unchecked? Take responsibility! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kindly google the meaning of pandemic, epidemic and endemic. The WHO works based on its guidelines, which the DG followed to the letter. How did he issue the self isolation theory when China itself adopted forceful quarantine? The Chinese shutdown an entire city, forcefully welding people in their homes atimes and built a 1000 bed hospital in weeks. We all watched them do that, some of us even blamed them for being authoritarian. Fun Fact: The US has no isolation center till date not to talk about enforcing quarantine. Their supposed lockdown was a joke. Less than one month, they were already protesting, while being encouraged by Trump. In China, Wuhan was locked down for 3 months. In the US, you are only admitted to the hospital when you are terribly sick irrespective of your covid 19 status. Fun Fact: Covid 19 test and treatment is not free in the US.

Lalasticlala, why are you using your power as a mod to push propaganda? On what basis is this news on the frontpage? There are 1000 petitions against virtually every individual or organization on that website, all by vested interests. Covid 19 was a new disease in January and scientists knew next to nothing about it as at then. Every single findings in science has to be proven first before it is certified. Every science student knows this, 2 + 2 may be 4, but in Mathematics it still has to be proven. There is ALWAYS a lag time between when a virus makes the jump from animals to humans and when it has spread to enough people for it to be obvious that there's a problem. We've all watched in real time as countries around the world have seen shit start to hit the fan around 4-6 weeks after their first case. Independent genetic analysis of this virus has put it's origin as sometime in November (maybe late October), which means that late December is exactly the time that you would expect China to first notice that they weren't just having an ordinary flu season (and remember...they didn't have the benefit of knowing that there was a new virus they had to be on the lookout for). "But why didn't they tell us there was human to human transmission?" Dumbo, there's an incubation period! A kinda long one! And most of the people who catch the virus have mild symptoms that wouldn't have been distinguishable from any other cold or the flu (and they couldn't have even been tested in the early weeks because THE TEST DIDN'T EXIST UNTIL AFTER THE VIRUS WAS IDENTIFIED AND SEQUENCED!. Of course it took a few weeks to confirm that there was human to human transmission! Science just doesn't move as fast as you want it to! Cc: Seun, call Lalasticlala to order. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Can Nigerian doctors or scientists produce Corona virus test kits? Till this moment, we still rely on test kits produced in China and sold to us or given to us for free by Jack Ma and co. Nigeria with a population of 200 million people has only conducted 5000 tests so far due to inadequate supply of test kits, why don't the NMA and co prove their competence by designing tests kits so we can scale up testing? The Director General of NCDC was among 10 global DGs invited to China by the WHO to understudy the Chinese strategy and we have been using elements of that successfully, albeit with some limitations. Whether we admit it or not, China has more firsthand experience in diseases like these having faced SARS, bird flu and now Covid. The Chinese are in Italy, Spain, France, Iran, Serbia, South Africa, and 82 other countries providing supplies or medical expertise, are Nigerian doctors better than the doctors in those countries.
