Nigeria is overburdened by the high number of illiterates at the helm of affairs.

That dear friend, is the biggest burden this nation has had for decades!!!

With all due respect, this man needs to shut the fvck up already!!! He is seriously beginning to sound like a broken record, irritating beyond words!!!

Look at Lagos. They are living with it but the spread is increasing daily.
Lassa is something we know the source and is even restricted to certain places.
People keep saying malaria. U cant compare malaria to COVID19. The symptoms and complications of COVID19 are so many

Brother, I have not disagreed with you about how bad Covid-19 is... I just choose not to elevate it to the same level of godhood many of you have chosen to.

It will keep spreading till a vaccine is found! Even nations who have staunched or contained the spread will probably get back to square one once they reopen their economies and start allowing in foreigners (E.g China and Japan)!

People will catch the virus, get symptoms, take permission from work, get treated, recover and get back to work... Soon, natural resistance will become widespread among us (This is already happening)!!!!

Ishilove:
No
There is just something that rings false about the whole Covid 19 thing in Nigeria. No doubt we have genuine cases but right now there seems to be a whole lot of falsehood added to the mix.

The falsehood is monumental, shocking, and deeply embarrassing!!!...

The day I heard that Imo state had over 20 new cases in one day was the day I finally knew these jokers have lost all shame and dignity!!!... When I was reliably informed that no such number of individuals graced the isolation center, I just shook my head!

See ehn, the bitter truth will eventually spill forth... Falsehood cannot be sustained in the long term! Let them keep robbing this nation of the limited resources!!! I pity the average Nigerians!!!

AdaoraNK:
This one spreads faster than those you mentioned and untill the vaccine is found, curtailing it is difficult. Check out thousands of deaths recorded in Europe and US alone, its scaring. Health is wealth

You guys are just missing the whole point of my submission...

I'm not saying we should ignore the disease or pretend it away! The same way you can't treat the other infectious diseases with levity, all because you have treatment options... Even cholera and dysentery wreck mortal Havocs now and again to local communities; Malaria is still a threat to most parts of the developing world.

Like I told someone else up there, this virus should and can be contained while our lives go on... The past few months have done far more damage than you can imagine to people's lives; some will never recover financially, emotionally, and psychologically!!!

Even the hardest hit nations have started returning back to their lives, not because they have fully or even properly contained the virus. It's because they have told themselves the bitter truth: We can't hide away from the virus any longer!!! The world cannot continue like this ma!!!... The universe cannot, and will not survive continuous lockdown!!!... This is the hard cold truth!!!... Learning to live and survive with the virus is the current way forward!!!

Some of you here in Nigeria are yet to have a serious reality check! Hmmm... I feel sorry for a lot of you!!! Maybe it's because your lives are largely cushioned or have always been cushioned!!!.. But, that wall of financial security that gives some of us the leeway to keep advocating indoor living will not last! It can never be sustainable!!!... Soon, even the wealthy will join in condemning further lockdown and movement restrictions...

Haven't you observed that your leaders are now paying less attention to lockdown and movement restrictions??!... Even the emperor of Rivers state has lost interest!!!

Ishilove:
I stopped following the figures when confirmed cases were still about 5,000. Smh

If you love and value your intelligence and peace of mind, that's the best thing to do!!!

These liars we call leaders will just further wreck the lives of average Nigerians, and still won't care cos no amount of recession will ever affect them!!!

blowjohn:
U think COVID19 is lassa or hepatitis or tuberculosis or diabetes or malaria?
Better check again!

I'm well versed in pathophysiology and epidemiology...

Covid-19 is just another viral respiratory disease... All these noises are due to its being novel, global spread ( no thanks to the idiocy and insensitivity of globetrotters), virulence (which is not quite strange if we are to be honest).

In any case, the world is tired of running scared and hiding indoors!!!.. The disease is not going anywhere, any time soon. Wise nations are beginning to shift focus to more pressing issues like SURVIVAL (Economic Survival no less)!!!... Widespread poverty and hunger will do far more harm than any deadly virus ever will.

DanjaNinja:
You don’t know these cops. They would shoot you without thinking twice.

Those cops are far better trained than the ones here. They have a whole lot to lose if they try that. At least laws still work in that country... Any crowd action would have made them backtrack, call for back up, thereby saving the life of the unarmed suspect.

TRADELYN:
389 new cases in just one day
What if there were no lockdown?

Doesn't matter... There has never been, and there will never be an effective lockdown in this third world nation!!!

We just have to add Covid-19 to our very long list of ailments and age long diseases: Malaria, Polio, influenza, typhoid, Lassa Fever, Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, Leprosy, Diabetes, etc... We have survived and thrived with them for centuries, another virus has not and will not make any difference!!!

Warri has quite a few attractions, cowardly youths happen not to be one of them... One of the few towns in Nigeria where even hardened soldiers tremble in fear.

Topic says "Economic Performance Ratings", yet you chose to go about beating about the bush!!!

I expected you to specifically outline his performance ratings in clear details, and leave them at that for wholesome debates, instead of attempting to come off as politically correct.

Well, maybe Op doesn't even understand his own topic!!!

Arijude:
you are right but this is not what you should have said if it were be an Igbo man

How so sir??! Did you go through my profile and comments??!... If you did, you would know I am against bigotry in any form

weblord1900:
Imagine a Social distancing in exam hall.
How e go be?

You mean that doesn't already happen??! No wonder malpractice rate hasn't fully reduced!!!

Olarewaju89:
No need to tell us. NCDC will still come and spoil the news. Thank you. Audio discharge

The status quo has to be maintained na... You want NCDC to go out of business or relevance??!..

Until other nations become virus free, ncdc must keep Nigeria in the loop!!!

Figures must be rolled out continuously!!! You either ignore or keep viewing in fear! I have long chosen the former, and I'm happier for it!!!

Bank will reject a strikingly good looking lady who is well spoken and brilliant, all because of gap teeth... Say wetin happen??! The gap in the upper front dentition would easily clinch the job for her ni!!!

They are probably not interested in your gender... A beautiful chick probably pushed you out... Probably with the same gap teeth you also have.

No need for depression, most banks pick the most attractive for customer care positions, especially young ladies... Keep at it. All good things come to those who wait and hustle harder.

Organicist95:
Yoruba Amaka

Is this really necessary??! You think foreigners see or care about tribes??! They only see nationality!!!

Sigh... First Amos Adamu in FIFA, now this... Can't these men borrow a leaf from Okonjo-Iweala. The old dame has been scandal free after so many years in financial institutions abroad.

nanauju:
This was the plan all along. God will see him through

God will see him through what exactly??! Is he being persecuted or falsely accused??!

Ryocaj:
U brought those rappers in d convo.. N I told u its foolish to conclude they will defeat Vector in a cypher.. Ur statement of Eminem finishing off Vector with one line shows ur level on thinking..
Eminem freestyles for hours.. Vector freestyles for hours too.. How do u even know Vector won't last longer than Eminem on d MIC.. just because he is a big name.. he will automatically finish him off.. Y didn't he Kill MGK off.. MGK even began by saying Eminem is the Rap God but he will murder him as the rap devil..
Don't just make silly assertions..

Okay... Eminem is "just a big name", and I'm making "silly assertions"!!! Noted!!! Whatever makes you sleep at night!!!

Now, jog on!!!

Ryocaj:
African decent.. they r not Africans.. they r not representing or claiming any African country.. ur defense is weaker than Arsenal's..
U r talking nonsense.. I will give u d privilege of modifying ur post so that it can make sense..
Do that now..

Egbon, you should have the decency to know when you have been had!!!... You have constantly tried to derail this discourse due to the paucity of points, even resorting to a near moronic assertion of "colonialism"!!!...

So, let me help you along by further clarifying: Vector is a very good rapper (certainly not great)! We can even call him one of the best Naija has produced in while (which is not flattering by a long shot)... However, to place him side by side with rap gods like Eminem is beyond delusional. Saying he is above Eminem or will floor Eminem is taking sacrilege to a whole new pathetic level!!!

Next thing you will say is that he is even better than Nas!!!... You are the one who needs to humble himself, apologize to the insulted legends of the game, true Rap fans, and edit your own laughable comments!!!...

In the absence of this, we are done here!!! Bye!!!

olaric:
There's a pandemic and yet you are calling the high rate of death "unusual?"

The pandemic is not isolated to his state... Why aren't the same number of people dying in other plagued states??! Are they not also Nigerians??! Most other states in that same region don't have the same mortality figures... So, he has every reason to use the "unusual" term!!!

HundredWays:
Guy, pls who is ur supplier?

I'm sorry sir, I don't quite catch your drift!!!

Ryocaj:
U r Pathetic.. Nicki Minaj.. Ho watch aw Eva murdered Nicki's Megatron.. Inferiority complex is ur problem.. Vector has faced top rappers in disses.. From Mode9, to Reminisce, to MI, he bodied Sarkodie twice on tracks..
In Africa.. Mode9 n Show Dem Camp r d only worthy opponents to Vector..
Ur rubbish mentality of whites being superior is killing u.. such a slave mentality..
Ur own 21st Century is still in colonialism..

At the bold, how can I have a colonial mentality or low self esteem when 99% of the names I brought forth are all of Black African descent??!... Music, especially Rap music, supersedes and far surpasses colonialism and racism!!! You are either lyrically gifted or you are not!!!...

So, your attempt at derailing with this self esteem tripe is weak, and poor!!! Just stick to the discussion!!!

Sigh... Why am I even wasting my time with someone who doesn't know the first thing about Hip pop.... Guy, look for your mates!!!

Galactico4ever:
Okay,we've Heard

Leave them... Same nonsense they have been saying even before Tinubu floored them in 2003!!!

emmabest2000:
Those shouting that government should act fast
don't know how many times that Niger Bridge has been re-patched, re-constructed , rebuilt and re-amended

The bridge is weak already and the only solution that will help that bridge to stay more longer is by doing fast work on the second abandoned Niger Bridge, if not ......

It will end in tears one day

Well Said!!! No more, No Less!!!

Pity we fail to grow past such petty kind of democracy... So, only those who sing your praises, even in the midst of errors should be given key appointments even when unsuited??!... No wonder the nation is so slow!!!

Anyway, he is a great writer, and has just displayed remarkable integrity and dignity... Loved his book "Nights of The Creaking Bed" (A must read for any serious literature connoisseur!!!

OneKinGuy:
Why do they keep generalizing the African continent like this. Do you ever see this kinda chart on Europe or Asia.

I think the point of it all is to let y'all know that an entire continent has far less cases compared to single nations in Europe and America...

NwaNimo1:
Kan had more than 250 deaths last week self....

Anything you say, Undertaker-In-Chief Kano state!!!

inoki247:
Okay 3500 pere I guess Corona is Anti Africa e no like us d way iz liking oda continent.....

As in ehn... Trump and Americans be looking at us like...

Davash222:
Out of that 3500 deaths, at least a thousand are malaria/typhoid death.

Well, not just Malaria or Typhoid... Other sickness and ailments are lumped into it.

Don't forget deaths due to non illnesses like cult deaths, police extra judicial kills, car accidents, etc!!!

Ryocaj:
MI cans r just too pained.. inferiority complex dey kill una.. Vector will stand his ground against any rapper.. Give dem d MIC n let's see them go for hours..

...And you Vector fans can't seem to properly comprehend that there are neutrals who don't give a flying fvck about either of the 2!!!

Please, look up my earlier response to another above where I lumped both Vector and his dissing opponent in the same category of wannabes Eminem will totally obliterate in just one verse...

Sigh... Let's even overlook your ignorance and disrespect in trying to bring in an international legend of Eminem's caliber into something concerning 2 very local champions (maybe it's just ignorance. You are probably not versatile or vast in this rap genre)... Let's talk Africa!!! Let Vector or M.I try going toe to toe with their mates: Mode-9; IllBliss, Nasty-C, Cass Nyovest; Sarkodie;... Let me stop here before your limited mind gets confused!!!

If you wish to stake your money or inheritance on the reach of Vector at the global stage, you will come off wiser or smarter pitting him against mediocre players like:

Tinie Tempah
Chipmunk
Benzino
Kendrick Lamar
Cardi B
Travis Scott

Damn... Your boy will be turned into a bitch with a few lines from Nicki Minaj!!!

Predictable!!! What else would have made the so called pastor join APC from PDP of all parties...

Edo state, behold your very own Ambode...

Nigerian politics: Of Godfathers and Stooges!!!
