One obvious thing is that in positions of power are all connected somehow.

I believe you didn't get it. IPhones, Samsung phones that are being made in China are still produced by the companies that own the brands not Chinese companies. It's called outsourcing, mainly cheap labour and other areas just to reduce the production cost.
So, the guy's statement still stands

I guess you misunderstood. If they weren't made in China, they might cost twice this price. It will still carry "Made in China". Every man and his dog knows that the product belongs to who owns the brand. I didn't say Iphone is now part of Injoo, Huawei or owned by the Chinese Politburo.

With the way the Chinese copy stuff, going to make it in China means the Chinese are probably already integrating Iphone technology into Chinese products.

Imagine... buying a time piece for about 800 US dollars and ear piece for 159USD, all in the name of 'brand' (overrated)


*Thank God for China*

Dude, these brands are made in China too. Just different labels on them.

The West just know how to make money from brand crazy peeps.

grossintel:
Lol, where you expecting the cases to drop? China lied! USA wants to reopen their economy, the lockdown seems not to be doing anything.

Lock down does work if people adhere. And it's working.

Of course the best approach is test, isolate, trace contacts and treat. But if that window has been missed and contacts could now be tens of thousands, it becomes unfeasible. Lock down becomes crucial. Infection will still rise first and also deaths.

Issue is governments were worried about economic collapse if they ordered lock down early. A total lock down of just 2 months can easily wipe out between 5 and 10% from national GDP and create millions of unemployment. 22 million unemployment benefit applicants in America already due to lock down. In developed countries, high unemployment is like poison to politicians. They fear it big time. It's the panic that's making Trump trying to re-open. Because elections are coming up. If lock down were to persist till end of June, US economy won't recover enough before November election. Bad for Trump. He will rather risk some thousands of death and open the economy sooner. That's politics.

By the time lock down began in most countries, there were already many infected people not showing symptoms. And they had been spreading the virus all along. Among those infected were vulnerable people (even some healthy ones vulnerable for genetic or other yet unknown reasons) who over the following weeks got ill. Of which some died and still dying. There's always a lag between between lock down, infection and symptoms/illness/hospitalization.

Nigeria should not treat lock down with levity. Because the rise. It could have been 50 times worse by now and rising.

The scene at Abba Kyari funeral today is alarming. Abuja should brace itself if no action is taken.

Wait o. Was lockdown lifted for Kyari?

So govt could not enforce it because it involved their people.

That's the HQ of hypocrisy.

StarUp:
I pity Abuja residents after this Abba Kyari's burial...they should have just parked everyone that went for the burial right from the venue straight to an isolation center...but alas it's too late they have already mingled with the innocent Abuja residents.

My friend, if we are not careful, New Orleans, Chicago and New York will be child's play.
All that is left is prayer now.

ahnie:
Moreso op said akara can be eaten with rice sounds weird tho.

I think akara z best eaten with either pap or bread!

Akara is very versatile. My favourite one is Quaker oats and akara.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE FROM NIGERIA LEADERS.
1- First they broke lockdown rules by flying him from Abuja to Lagos.
2- Then they treated him privately at First Cardiology in Ikoyi despite isolating other positive members of the public in the isolation centre.
3- Then they flew his COVID 19 positive body back to the Federal Capital Territory for burial.
4- Then they released his body for burial contrary to what Lai Mohammed said that COVID 19 dead bodies cannot be released for burial.
5- Then almost 500 – 1000 people gathered for the burial effectively breaking Federal Government rule that not more than 20 or even 50people can gather at a point in time.
6- Then, they dug a shallow grave for the body in the centre of town, Gudu cemetery.
7- And some there neither wore masks or any other PPE especially the gravediggers.
8- A man in Green native without PPE even touched the body whilst helping the workers in PPE.
9- Some workers in PPE were even seen touching their faces and goggles after touching the body with some’s clothes visibly running the dead body under from their PPE as they lowered the body into the shallow grave.
10- And the body was buried in just white traditional robes. No protection nothing for the people, or the environment.
11- No accounting for or planning that everyone at the burial must self isolate for 14 days after the burial.
How is this leading by example? How does a government make the rules and then shamelessly break the rules on National Television for all to see.
Abuja should brace for impact in the next 14days.
Pls somebody should show me where I can do change of country.

Oh boy they will soon label you a wailer, still bitter that Buhari trounced GEJ at the poll.

Especially those positioning their man for 2023.
When it comes to the valid case of blatant breach of the law and rules, they will as usual talk from both sides of their mouth.

They have just chosen many innocent Nigerians as 'abobaku' for Abba Kyari. Only a matter of time. May God help us.

As already seen, when push comes to shove and the disease spreads, it's no respecter of tribe, wealth, political position or status.

DanDeeBoss:
At least he should have burnt it..... what kind of careless attitude is this??

Type of attitude that spreads disease to innocent people. Sadly.

TheGoodJoe:
The Federal, State and Local governments need to channel all resources into fighting this virus. A big part of it is massive testing.

Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones.

---

French Professor Didier Raoult, who is one of the world’s top 5 scientists on communicable diseases, argued that the approach of mass quarantine (Lockdown) is both inefficient and outdated and that large-scale testing and treatment of suspected cases achieves far better results.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-fight-cure-western-pharma-rip-off/5707360/amp

The prof is actually right and everyone knows it.
Fact is Europe didn't act quickly enough. The cases just became too many that large scale testing and treatment just became unfeasible.

The more meticulous Germans followed the large scale testing early enough and have fared relatively better.

UK authorities have been disappointing. They had warnings from Italy to avoid Italian mistake. Locking down just 2 weeks earlier would have made things far better

botrix:
Pls does it mean that the total discharged and deaths are subtracted from the total confirmed cases.or the total confirmed cases are the number of people still having the virus in Nigeria?

Good question.

They should clearly state active cases: meaning those still being treated or under observation after testing positive but not given the all-clear yet or have not tested negative yet after treatment.

In this case the total include anyone who has ever tested positive whether dead, discharged or under treatment/observation in Nigeria

Hello, please if there is anyway you can help me in this terrible time.. Even if it's 200 naira.. I will really appreciate it.. Anyhow. Thank you, acct num 0097851612, Access/Diamond bank

Do you still do proof reading? Your location?

We should practice true Federalism. Not one based on oil money.
Abba Kyari just passed on. He left his family a fortune.

Ordinary citizens if they die, their families will suffer terribly.

I see no reason why Minister State for Petroleum or other relevant officials cannot reach out to Wike to iron out which essential flights to be allowed, why, precautions in place, etc.

Wike is right on this.

Very sad if true.

Although impunity by our politicians over the decades make us see them as quasi predatory animals, unscrupulous, greedy and rapacious.

However, Abba Kyari was a very brilliant man. Going through some of the most reputable universities in the world including Cambridge, Harvard, Warwick, etc. He worked with a top law firm in Lagos, top banks & top corporate firms/multinationals in Nigeria.

Some people should better not venture into politics. It ruins hard earned reputation from previous hard work. Abba Kyari is one of those.

Had he not go into politics (a man already), would be seen in quite a different light.

Our politicians should now see that life has no duplicate. The life of the elite or of the average person. Therefore going forward, they shoup ramp up the heath care system urgently. To benefit of everyone.

Na wa. Justifying highness title.

Very useful information.

It's a good thing for a guy to experience early in life. You will know whether you have true friends and if your girlfriend is worth it.

In fact occasionally pretend convincingly to be broke.

Park your car somewhere faraway and say it's with Kazeem. Be taking bus to go out.

Soon they will be saying he has sold his car to eat. Ask your friends for help. Especially those who always like to take your perfume, new shirt and ask you for help the most. See how they will behave.

To the girlfriend you normally assist regularly, form broke.

The result will make you wiser in life.

This convid 19 saga go surely reformat everyone's brain: both the supposed leaders and the led..
If not, Nigeria will be eternally doomed...

Just wait for oyinbo to find a cure first. We will just go back to sleep as usual. Black man will even boast that he's strong and survived Corona.

The only reason for this fuss is because it affected some of the elite early on. And they cannot travel abroad. Now forced to use the healthcare they have neglected for so long and do not trust.

Welcome news. But as we know, viruses can be very tricky.

This along with vaccination could help keep it under control in the future.

Hmmmmm.

Might even be Hawaiian or Puerto Rican. Some look missed like this.

Otherwise maybe a Filipina.

Nice one.

Angelinastto:
Later they'll complain of loosing their marriages to side chicks.... Wives need to watch it abeg!
Poster please try talking to her or her mom about it to fulfil all righteousness.

Thing is many women have a poor perception of motherhood and sex.

A pregnant lady, unless there's a medical reason not to, should be banging away until the very minute to deliver. It's very good towards preparing for labour even.

Antenatal classes should cover this thing too.

A man should be understanding though. But sometimes sex life deteriorates permanently after childbirth. Then anything can happen.

samuk:
Oga sir, what do you expect me to say, sometimes I think this TAO11 lady is just trying to pull my legs or she enjoys running circles around me.

I hope others are enjoying themselves from these exchanges.

Lol. Don't be surprised if she's married to, dating or like Edo men.

I guess she enjoys it. I quite like the fact that a lady has interest in culture and history, not just eye-lashes, wigs, bags and shoes.

We need more ladies to take part like this.

Instead of people to accept that each tribe had their strengths, that one way or another influences flowed both ways, how exactly things were, we cannot be 100% certain today, they want to change history.

Many of our neighbours had no empire. They were small homogeneous chiefdoms/kingdoms. Aside Oyo that had an Empire from about 1608 to 1800 or 192 years.

Benin on the other hand had an Empire from 1440 to 1897 or 457 years.

Yes, Benin's success was due to many people we brought into the fold. Bringing their talents along. From the East , South and West. Ours was a multi-ethnic success. Something we proudly acknowledge.

Our cousins do not have that openness despite claiming to be "accommodators". Tolerating people is different from allowing them be full part of your culture despite their own sub-culture, different dialect, etc.

samuk:
João Afonso d'Aveiro documented "east" when in fact he was told "the place from where the sun rises".


The quote above is what someone like myself in search of the truth have problems with.

This conversation was said to have happened around 1480 between a Benin informant and a European. It was documented.

Centuries later, people tried to link Ife to the said Ogane and realised that there are problems, and in their efforts to address this problems, those that were not there or witnesses to the conversation are now speculating that the European must have got it wrong and reported the opposite of what he was told.

No matter how we try to shift the goalposts to fit Ife into Ogane, the fact remains that the recorded historical evidence does not support this hypothesis.

I personally don't care where the Ogane was located or if it ever existed, I am only interested in the truth.

You don't just wake up and start changing the goalposts by altering documented historical accounts to fit a narrative. The changes you guys are making to the original documents amounts to mutilation of the evidence.

1. You start by saying the 20 moon journey is mystical journey, not physical because it doesn't support your argument.

2. You said the 250 league or 900 miles reported is the opinion of the European and should be discarded because it doesn't support your argument.

3. You said the eastern location reported by the European should be discarded, disregarded and changed to west because it doesn't support your argument.

Why not just disregard the entire report as a work of fiction. Ogane may not have existed.

Kikikikikiki!

If this was in court the judge would be outraged. Mutilation of evidence. This kind of Mike Tyson upper-cut nor be here o.

Change East to West because the European must have drank ogogoro and got it wrong.

The Benin man & oyinbo who had the chat were wrong. Those who came later, maybe after 100 years now think they know what was said better.
Talking from both sides of the mouth is normal to some people.

I just pity the innocent foetus aborted. Even if your mother said she doesn't like the one you are still dating now, you will dump her Well, I'm not surprised, you are still a kid. Let me wait for people to contribute, I'm just really annoyed!

I wonder o. A grown 25 years old man shivering that her mum will know about his having sex.

If you still dey fear mama, then behave like her sweet little boy, not humping up and down.

After you guys committed murder together, na now you dey fear?

Na juju man hand dem wan carry you enter now.

Man up dude! If I was you, I will be first to tell my mum.

Did you not see the lady who released her nude pics to thwart the threat of some low-life against her?
That lady my friend, has far bigger balls than you.

Very soon, Nigerians would forget about the sacrifices that medical professionals made and the risks they are exposed to everyday and would go all over social media bashing and abusing them

Na so. While sitting comfortably away wrapped in cotton wool.
Risk of catching infection especially in the tropics with many infectious diseases is a constant. But you know in 9ja we respect looters. Instead of those making sacrifices for the common good.

The common good has no meaning to many anyway.

RIP.
