Corona is a gift of nature to Nigeria, it has come to depopulate the North so that they won't vote in another presidiot from the North come 2023.

Flier:
I just hope they won’t be sending southern doctors to the North,I dont trust this government
We should leave one Nigeria out of this, let the North pay for their stewpidity alone

dederocs:
how many hungry begging people have you helped?

AmTruth:
Some Nigerians across states of the Federation are coming hard on their government on reason that they must not shut down the state because their priority now is about food and economy which is understandable but not really about the spread of corona virus in allowing their State border within or without open.

The initial case was why did the federal government failed to close the border(Lock Down) both air and land? That everywhere must be closed.
All nations across the world had initial challenge in closing their boarder hence all were attacked by the Corona virus which Nigeria is not an exception to such move.

Those who were agitating that boarder must be closed(Lock Down) and blame the Federal government can now calmly understand by the reason of still them, now telling their State government that the State must not be locked down.

The Question now is this, You told the Federal government that they must Lock Down to prevent the spread or disease and now you are telling the State government not to Lock Down because you don't Care about the spread of the virus.

Reasons you are resisting the Lock Down from State government are majorly partly reasons the federal government also delayed international lock down.

Some would ask,had it been the federal government lock down early enough the virus would not have come in? But we know certainly cry that would ravage the media had it been the Short down was done early enough.

Questions like why shutdown in depriving investors coming in and causing hardship to business activities, in short some would even tribalize it by saying it's because most of our people want to come home that's why they are shutting down. Do they want people to die there. Is it not better to die at home? Ah they are depriving people to come to their father Land. In short this is Wickedness and so on and so forth.

The Truth is that the Virus is here with us today.
We have to accept the lock down within our state if truly our priority is to mitigate the spread as our concerns before when the federal government delay lock down of our international border.
We know it's not easy, so we should not change our priority from the spread of the sickness to the present concern now of the economic or food.

I tell you the truth, it would be worse, handling both the crisis of Food and Sickness. Inasmuch as it's not easy I admonish us to bear this little while.

Because it is easier handling a hungry family than to handle a sick family.

babyfaceafrica:
OP are u sure you know what you are saying?.. A hungry family is easy to handle?.. I laugh you... You don't know what hunger is and what hunger can make one do?..sickness leads to death.. Hunger leads to stealing, violence, robbery, sickness and eventually death... So which is worse?

Avalancheman:
How many confirmed cases lead to death

And those dying have severe underlying health conditions that could have still led to death.

Also, a good number are discharged daily.

zedegit:
When will Kano organize next Corona match?

I heard that the last one was a success.

aribs:
The kind of denial and ignorance I see here is the reason why this virus wont be leaving Nigeria anytime soon. I dont understand how people will assume a country as populous with ghettos, shanties, and the danfo drivers,ferries and micras cramming people in will escape a virus like this and record low numbers. The only reason we are seeing high numbers now is because the virus has finally made it into the communities and is currently being easily transmitted and testing capacity has increased. Fact: this virus has successfully being transmitted within communities in naija. It is not going anywhere. At this rate, even pastors and imams are not safe. No one is. Social distancing cannot be over emphasized enough. Those with compromised immunity systems due to underlying conditions or the elderly should please not go out. Make alternative arrangements asap. The rest of us should wear masks , practice social distancing , wash your hands or apply sanitizers, avoid touching face with bare hands, wipe down groceries and bare surfaces before touching and limit going out and fraternizing. Stay safe for your own good. Where I live is close to a hospital and one of the most haunting scenes is seeing bodies loaded into refrigerated trucks due to morgues being overwhelmed. It is in Nigeria and our healthcare system will not save you
Own your own safety and take care of your shit and spread the word not fear. Thank you

smithyemy:
My people please be ready and prepare to do the necessary needful. Watch your hands, use facithough al mask and keep social distance or if possible estay indoors. Vividly, I remember February ending to early March this year when it started here in United kingdom. We thought it was joke. I and my family weevre counting. It started with 3 deaths. The next day it was 10 deaths and the third day it was 20 deaths and later it was 30 to cut the story short, Today we here in Uk are counting 27 thousand death. I mean 27000 people have died here in UK. My fellow Nairaland I love you all and even though I left Nigeria I still find time after work to check news on Naija here. Please, I beg everyone to prepare for his or her family safety. Thousands of Africans including Nigerians have lost their lives, love ones and so on here due to this Pandemic called COVID 19. Please stay safe all.

Avalancheman:
Loooonatics everywhere...

How many are sick How many have been sick How many will be sick

Coronavirus is NOT for Africa! The facts are there for all to see!!

The lockdown will be relaxed. That I am sure of...

Ebonyeyes:
It is a very sad thing to see and observe. I hope Nigerians remember this during the next election because most in power are on their second term and will not do anything till the next Government gets into power. As for the tone-deaf and stingy celebrities, I hope their fans remember their selfish ways and vote with their wallets and refuse to patronise their music/movies/plays etc.

WaffenSS:
It's so sad.

The governors are the worse, they've zero excuses. Look at Ben Ayade, doing fashion parade with his matching face masks.

Lagos with years of insane IGR, south south with 13% derivation and other income from oil companies and higher revenue allocation than most states combined...still no decent hospitals.

Ganduje is asking for 15 billion, when he must be making that much in IGR annually if not quarterly. Instead of hospitals and schools they were busy building roads and streetlights.

Zamfara bought expensive cars for political appointees, yet they couldn't fund the war on bandits or upgrade their school systems or hospitals.

None of the former presidents and former governors and former ministers are running charities and schemes from their massive loot to help out.

Dangote's kano is burning, he's waiting for Bill Gates and his banker friends, the donation from the Dangote Group came from other philanthropists, yet the man's the richest motherfugger in Africa. Shouldn't Jack Ma be an example for these people?

Linda Ikeji? Nothing.

Our yeyebrities? Burna Boy was so tone-deaf he was showing off his cars and house, the same Burna Kanye called pledging to help out Nigeria.

Atiku gave peanuts, nothing from the Dantatas and the Yaraduas and the Borno oil dynasty...same for TY Danjuma.

Leaders across the public and private sector have failed in the hour of need.

Avalancheman:
At that's why I am saying that we are NOT doing enough tests which is why we are still having 1900+ deaths. Otherwise, if we had done 1,000,000 tests we probably may have recorded well over 100,000 cases. Yet for all that number, we still have only 58 deaths.

Also how many of the confirmed cases are lead to death on a daily basis? How many are discharged on a daily basis? These are the questions we should ask.

Most of the confirmed cases are asymptomatic and will recover with little or no treatment.

All this bearing in mind that the virus has been in the country since January.

Honestly, Coronavirus is NOT for Africa.

Otherwise, we all would may have been dead by now. There is nothing we are doing now that could have stopped it! We just thank God for His mercies.

How dare you say US with 60,000+ deaths is better than Nigeria Are you okay How many are dying in Nigeria daily compared to US

new2012:
Calm down, what you wrote didn't fit in

I said 'rate' where both factors are determine by the country's figure. Its 58 in 1900+ not 100,000. Ghana has over 2k confirmed cases with 17 deaths.. A whole lot better than Nigeria.. Recovery rate, mortality rate are crazy in Nigeria using Nigeria's figures. Its worse than anywhere else. Remember the US is @60k+ death in abt a million cases. that's still a lot better than Nigeria.

Remember Lagos is already overwhelmed, which means if the numbers where 10k+ infection, all controls would have been lost.

Exc2000:
SE doesn't have more than a single testing laboratory that is in Ebonyi.. Kano has 2, lagos has 7, chances are SE are not even carrying out any test as we speak... again SE doesn't have a functional International Airport, Kano and Lagos both has two of the busiest in the country, so they are prone to foreigners bringing in the virus directly, while SE bound travelers get quarantines in Lagos or Portharcourt

Sparrow99:
Hahahahahaha... There are many almajiris online than there are in northern Nigeria. Hypocrites.

ignis:
It is unfortunate we have lots of ignorant comments on this thread, accusing and insulting the woman for absconding or running away.
For the avoidance of doubt, let me explain how it works, firstly, sample is collected from suspected patient and sent to lab for confirmation. The patient is released to go pending the outcome of the result.
The result takes approximately 48 hours to be out.
If the result comes out positive, the patient will be contacted and duly quarantined.
From the twitter post of the governor, they already have the patient's information including her residential address. What happened to visiting the address ?
It is wrong exposing her confidential info and calling her out online.
Her number could innocently not be reachable as a result of some certain unavoidable factors.

Skirmishes:
I want to thank Yusuf Adegoke for sending me 1k last week. I was banned for 5 days by a MOD and couldn't send my thanks over. Thank you so much.

Harrison4adam:
If If you believe in one Nigeria,then fuckee you.
Nepotism useless murderfucker FRAUDSTER government.

ejimatic:
. It gives me a lot of concern to see the spread of Covid 19 in Nigeria..I am of the opinion that it will still spread like a wild fire in this country..The PMB should jhave locked the country down again for additional two weeks but the state governors disagreed with him.They disagreed because they did not want to spend money they have on this emergency.They wanted the president to give them money for the lock down..He however asked the governors to adopt what they like in their states.Many Nigerians want to go out because there is no meaningful palliatives for them...They have been abandoned by the politicians and our leaders Covid 19 is now increasing in Oyo and other states in Nigeria. If we think it is over we are DECEIVING ourselves..Nigeria may regret lack of will to fight it logically by locking down the whole country for a week or two and giving citizens robust palliatives.We should have learned a lesson in Spanish Influenza of 1916 to 1918..

awesomely:
But nobody has forced you to go out.

It's a matter of choice between life and death.

If lockdown is relaxed, anyone can choose to stay home or go out.

If some people stay home, they will still die of hunger but you can stay home if you can afford it.

Avalancheman:
@MansoryMX

How many times shall we tell you guys that Nigeria's case is peculiar

Focus on the number of deaths!

How many confirmed cases lead to death

How many are successfully discharged everyday compared to the number that die

Confirmed cases may be well up to 1 million!

MOST of the confirmed cases will recover with little or no treatment!! There is no cause for alarm at all!!!

Aflix:
huuumm make dem still use style show Nigerians the isolation center with the patients in it now. Other countries did it. If this is done it's going to increase the level of seriousness of compliance of Nigerians. When they see people struggling for breath even with ventilators on they will know it's a serious issue
