A targeted propaganda to rubbish Prof. Ayade's efforts to make Cross River a corona virus pandemic free. Hope the CMD of UCTH who is under FG payroll has not been induced to report a case of Malaria/Typhoid as covid-19.

If we are being honest with ourselves, the real or main propaganda is Mr. Prof refusing to conduct tests while authoritatively beating his chest that his state is virus-free as if no one has ever entered or left his state since January...

However, I equally wonder why these NCDC people just persistently want to add Cross River to their bogus list at all cost!!!... As if tallying up numbers will give them the credibility they will never have.

9jaDoomCountry:
NO, IT IS NOT EVERYWHERE. IT IS NOT IN HEAVEN

Okay... It's everywhere in Nigeria! Happy??!

Well, thank God for averting this one... However, we are merely postponing an evil day... Who doesn't know such accidents are constantly, if not daily waiting to happen somewhere in Lagos.

This is where I wonder the actual usefulness of FRSC and VIO in this country, especially mega cities like Lagos and Abuja.

techmo:
Will Makinde's kid resume with Oyo kids or stay in America

I know not where his kid resides or schools, neither do I know what that has got to do with what we are discussing here... Did you equally wonder whether his kids would be going to markets, boarding keke, bikes, churches, etc, prior to ending or halting lock down weeks back??!...

Please, can we stick to the issues here??! Thank you.

techmo:
Their old teachers nko? How about retransmitting it to older lesser immune parents

Is your useless JSS3 certificate and WAEC any benefitial to your whole life to kill yourself over

.

Guy, these same "older lesser immune parents", "Old Teachers", and children have been mingling and mixing about with both infected and uninfected people for months now... Is it within the school walls that something will finally change??! Is the virus more attracted to schools than markets, churches, hospitals, etc??! Are preventive measures less likely in schools than the aforementioned locations these same people have been visiting for months now, even without protection??!...

We don't always need to pretend and act like we are truly containing this pandemic like more serious nations...

Left to some of us, Germany, Italy, England and Spain should never have reopened their leagues....

VirginSearcher:
Everything in this country is been shifted to the North gradually.. too bad

Everything??! Does that also include brains, leadership skills, innovative and development ideas, investment plans, honesty, integrity, vision, etc??!...

Look for another excuse for your criminal and selfish Southern leaders!!!

Dozman88:
The law enforcement officers should do there job by arresting those that are not keeping to the rules laid down..nose mask is a big problem to some people ehh...let's be realistic with ourselves..the government are tired also of keeping people at home but they need our support also.

On the face mask issue... The issue here is that what mostly passes for face masks among most Nigerians is not, and should never be...

A lot of these cheap, reusable stuff are unhealthy... A lot of the users can't even breath properly with most getting severe allergies from the Ankara materials.

Proper face masks should have respirators or there should be provisions for proper respiration within the fabrics while still protecting from airborne pathogens.

It's either one uses disposable surgical masks or reusable N95 or KN95 masks, both of which are currently ridiculously expensive and beyond the affordability of over 70% of Nigerians!!!

gabicon:
The very concept of lockdown is useless if we don't intend to massively increase testing. Our health institutions are already overwhelmed, should we lockdown, increase testing, and do contact tracing, where are we going to house the COVID-19 patients?

Nigeria has drifted to herd immunity but our government are acting like they are on top of the situation.

Massive testing??! In this country??! Lol... Please, leave these people!!!

Even in 6 months, NCDC will never test up to 2 million people in Nigeria (Out of a population of over 200 million)!!!... So, the lock down (which will never be successful) will only achieve what it achieved the last time: Further destroy a dying economy, increase poverty via more job losses!!! At the end, the disease will continue its course of spread!!!

We started talking about herd immunity since early March, which many here on this forum abused us to end... Now, how else can you explain such ridiculously low mortality in the midst of a massive contagion that started over 2 months ago (for a killer disease with a max incubation time of 14 - 28 days)??!

Some are even arguing that the disease strain is weaker here... Such clowns!!!

Kazim88:
This is what every normal thinking person have been saying as early as March...
The moment I saw majority shouting lockdown and pay us palliative via BVN then, I concluded that majority of Nigerians are incapable of logical reasoning.

With that level of reasoning, our next president that they would vote would be worst than Buhari...

Chief, I fear for the future of this nation with all honesty... How can young people be so bereft of commonsense intelligence and reasoning skills??! It is shocking, appalling and disheartening!!!

grandstar:
More can be done.

Lagos state government needs to be vocal about the need to wear face masks for instance. More importantly, introduce a N10,000 on those who do not comply. Put pressure on the police to enforce rules. They will be eager as it is a source of pocket money for them.

Any means to encourage the police and other law enforcement agent to compel people abide by covid prevention laws will be good, even if it means unsavoury methods. It should not just be excessive. The numbers are rising and there seems no end in sight. A lockdown should be ruled out. Lockdown fatigue has locked in globally and the goal is now to live with the pandemic with safety precautions attached.

At the bold, please break it down for the dullards among us here supporting this clueless government's drive towards another lock down...

They should go ahead with another lock down... It seems they are hellbent on burying this nation finally!!! Maybe when the lock down ends, we all will become fully subject to China or Europe!!!

KanwuliaBaby:
See this SMELLING-APE-MOUTH.

Easy to preach what you can’t do.
9 years of confusion and wastage under your UGLY AZZZZZE!



Baba-EWU!

Give it a rest kid.... No sane person can or should ever compare Obj's tenure with what we are seeing under Buhari!!! You haven't said anything yet! Try again!!!

authority2006:
Interpret it anyhow you deem it fit, who cares? People hate lockdown all over the world. And if they won't follow the guidelines, lockdown becomes a threat to make them have a rethink. It's up to them whether they prefer following the guidelines or be under the lockdown

What are you even saying or typing??!

It is not about interpretation!!! Read! Read!! Read!!!... You went to school for a reason!!!

No serious leader or leader carries out or imposes lock down without provision of palliatives to sustain or cushion the harsh effects of the process, especially on the poor!!!... Where across the world does that happen??! Where??!...

Most Nigerians will gladly stay indoors for weeks once they are well provided for... Compared to other nations, the average Nigerian doesn't go out necessarily for social activities. Most go out daily to eke a paltry living!!!...

Take a look at the socioeconomic situation of your nation, and understand that imposing lockdown without palliatives is tantamount to punishment of the most inhuman kind!!!... This is a pure recipe for social unrest, anarchy, and chaos, which will further undermine things!!!... imposing lock downs and curfews without consideration for basics like food, water, electricity, etc, is actually a crime against humanity anywhere in the world... The fact that you have become used to poor leadership, doesn't mean we all should pretend it is okay. That you are comfortable or relatively comfortable doesn't mean you shouldn't consider millions of others.

Nwaonyishi69:
This sickness knows no pdp or apc. Ethnicity does not influence its infection. The only thing that has been useful, globally, is qualitative medicare and this can only come from good leadership. My fear is that this apcshit leadership will destroy and take away many lives because of their active mediocritic style of leadership in every sphere of national institutions.

Your fear??! Will??!...

You are really not current, dear friend!!!

More lives have been destroyed and lost under this regime than any other since 1999!!! Even foreigners know this all too well!

SmartProf:
The lockdown initiated at first accross many states in Nigeria was wrongly timed. It's like the PTF on Covid 19 were advising Buhari to make decisions similar to what they watched happen in Europe and America on CNN and Aljazzeera. When Europe and America started talking about a flattened curve showing Covid 19 incidence, morbidity and mortality rates, Nigeria had no curve to look at cos our figures were so inconsistent and looked like a scattered diagram graph, making it difficult to notice a trend line. Now our leaders have suddenly realized that logically this would have been the right time to lock down. Most Nigerians who suffered during the last ill-timed lockdown will shun this directive, damning the consequences

What are you even on about... At no point in this nation will lock down ever work!!! Not a damn point!!!...

No nation carries out a successful lock down without providing sufficient and sustainable palliatives to all citizens!!! None!!!

Nigerian leaders are not prepared to make such sacrifices or provisions to even a quarter of their citizens. They have never been prepared!!! They will NEVER be prepared!!!

Y'all should forget this lock down talk... Test all you want, do what ever contact tracing, etc... The disease must run its course through this nation!!! Many will survive, some will die, and eventually it will fizzle out!!!... This is the harsh reality your leaders are pretending not to see!!!

Rondigee:
Don't ever try because it will not work

They won't!!! They know it is economically inconceivable and not feasible at all!... They are merely trying desperately to come off as proactive!!!

So, lock down is now a threat??! Meaning it is meant to be a punishment to the impoverished citizens!!! Wonders shall never end!!!

You lock people down as a key process of disease containment, only after proper provision of palliatives is in place... Where are the palliatives??! So, why "threaten" to do something you know is impossible for you to carry out or sustain??!...

Bloody slow country with idiotic leaders!!!

Sigh... Some experiments are just not worth it... I will gladly pass!!!

sylve11:
People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.

Okay... So, your point??!... Was that thing loved or used??!

When trouble show the only people that will stick around is family, so when things are rosy please make sure there’s love in your living room make sure every where soft for your family!!!
Family is all we got
Not any of your hoes/homies will stick around when trouble comes they’ll all bolt

Preach it bro... PREACH!!!

Family before leeches, wizards, witches, and bit*hes!!!

I almost thought on clicking I'll be reading something meaningful from a human being with some dignity and class... How mistaken!!!

"Politician Money", "Corrupt Money",!!!... What a brainless dirty bimbo!!!

festacman:
We give the North too much credit and invincibility. Pres. Buhari tried several and failed until he aligned with other parts of the country. So, no one or even two regions of this country will win power without at least a strong tripod. By the way, the impression that North is politically monolithic is just a myth. Politics is about personal aspirations and interests.

Personally, my take on 2023 is that power should rotate to South and if it doesn't, the South should pull out of the elections with the likely consequences unknown to nobody. There is always a deal-breaking point.

I like how you all delude yourselves that there's a united South...
The only truly united region in Nigeria is the Islamic and extremist North, hence why they keep holding the nation hostage.

All Northerners need is agree on their candidate, capitalize on the divided South by picking out selfish dissenters to add to their numbers, and the victory remains theirs!!! One easy set to sway are Southeast individuals.

Y'all should continue infighting and dwelling in bigotry... The Northern elites will keep cashing out and strangling what's left of this nation.

CrestMan:
Hope you would have responded this same way if it was a Church crusade that held in Liverpool last night? Otherwise, you're a big HYPOCRITE!

I was merely congratulating them on winning the long elusive trophy... I didn't even comment on their celebration... Still don't get what this has to do with a church crusade. Do churches win trophies too??!

What the fvck is going on in this third world nation??!... Something needs to be done urgently!!!

Na you call am rat,wait till you see the wonders they do in the pot.. yummy

He is right... They are nothing but big rats!!!

Congrats to a great team, club, and amazingly loyal fans!!!... This is highly well deserved!!!

yvelchstores:
because of this Antichrist freezer, so many have turned against God, especially on this forum. If it's a man of God now, 19pages.
You people should repent and stop pouring your frustration to Pastors.

Pastors should take heed unto themselves and stay within their calling, while maintaining purity!!!...

calculator123:


Dude was roasted on Twitter.

This is what you get for being double mouthed.

Honestly, Daddy Freeze has been long overdue for a serious roasting... His cup don full tay tay!!!

He that comes to the table of equity, must come with clean hands!!!... It's not manly or prudent to criticize selectively!!! If you must be a social critic, then do so to all and sundry while ensuring your hands are clean!!!

flyingpig:
What do you expect NCDC to do?

Before COVID-19, they were an unknown Government Agency, no laptops, no computers, no funds, no relevance, no fame, no identity, nobodies.

All of a sudden, increase in staff strength, more employment, increases bonuses and wages, more respect and dignity, most of them have been able to buy lands and landed properties across Nigeria in this period, in liason with corrupt Politicians and security agencies manning our inter-state borders. I wouldn't be surprised if cossyfaith is one of the financial reapers.

To them, business is not over. The pandemic must continue. It is a dog eat dog country that we live in, and people make money off others, no matter the method.


Let me tell you this, if USA had less than alleged 600 death tolls in four months, four whooping months, their economy and institutions of learning would be far ahead of where they are today.
But here they are, with over 100,000 deaths ( one hundred thousand deaths ), and they're unlocking the economy.

Surely, those who break even in this period wouldn't want this to continue, but the prayers of the common men and women who will receive no palliatives, and have flouted the guidelines without suffering death or respiratory complications, nor have a hand in this money-making pandemic, will prevail.

Well written!!!... The people supporting them on this forum and other social media outfits are the worst.

flyingpig:
You guys should give it a break.

How is it that in four months, we have less than 600 deaths when other countries recorded over 1,000 deaths per day?

It shudders me that every night NCDC will just put up a dark theme with yellow fonts indicating numbers of confirmed cases and deaths, but ain't nobody sees pictures of dead persons and people in isolation centers, unlike overseas where we see thousands of mass burials occurring daily.

I was at a Bank recently and the Banker even had his face mask underneath his nose, markets are crowded, private lessons are on-going, businesses are booming, and a friend of mine just travelled Rivers state to Akwa Ibom last weekend. There is lawlessness around us and complete flout of the COVID-19 guidelines yet no expected death toll or rates around us.

The reason NCDC in partnership with Nigeria Govt keep churning out those figures you see on the Internet is to convince Donor agencies on the need for more donations which will for sure end up in private Bank accounts.

Ever wondered what happened to billions of donations from BUA cement, Dangote, Zenith, First Bank and the rest of them?

European Union just dolled millions of Euros to Nigerian govt for post covid-19 economic recovery and you sure know its fate. Don't pretend you didn't grow up in Nigeria and don't understand the deceitfulness of Nigerian government. Yesterday Ex-governor Ajimobi was announced dead, but that wasn't the first time he was announced dead, but political mavericks preserved his death just to use his name to lobby for political relevance in APC party.

You don't know how Nigeria works.

They should start displaying pictures of dead patients owing to COVID-19, pictures of isolation centres filled to the brim and be able to convince us of its lethality in Nigeria.

Covid-19 exists for real, but its severity in Nigeria can never be compared with its counterpart in USA, China and the rest of other advanced countries, otherwise we would be seeing corpses all around us and not be counting just your dead hospital colleague ( rest in peace to her/him ).

This is exactly what I have been preaching, but they have called me all sorts of names.

Some people just want to trend with negativity at all cost... Some of them have been wishing and hoping that the deaths rise far above this.

It just beats me how young people can't use their brains, and face the harsh realities on ground!!!

Golan007:
Even those that have been unemployed for 9 years would shouting " we don't want a lockdown".

Please, wake up and smell the roses...

Even if spread and mortality triples today, this nation can never survive or afford another lock down!!!... We don't need to pretend away the reality of bankruptcy and depression staring us all in the face!!!

This is survival of the fittest... The way forward is for every one to find ways to survive or prevent it!!! Lock down is out of the question!!! Ignore that clueless Boss Mustapha!!!
