boookworm: I can no longer see the "shit is getting real" crew or are they tired?
Where are all those who predicted that Nigeria would be a major hit cos of her poor health system, well I'm happy to announce to u that borno state alone discharged 135 Covid patient in a single day. Lol. Is God not wonderful. That porous health system is discharging 135 Covid 19 patient in a single day.
What happened to all the mysterious deaths in Kano, they have just stopped all of a sudden. And now, people are no longer falling sick and dying mysteriously in Kano, they are even recording 6 cases in 2 days with that large population
NCDC defense panel here on nairaland keep getting more questions to answer each day.
Believe it or not these figures are inflated Covid 19 is in Nigeria but have been blown out of proportion.
Figures are in fact deflated due to so many reasons, chief among them are inadequate testing infrastructures , poor surveillance network e.t.c i understand the premises for such assertion but if you've critically consider the number of cases obtainable in less populated, better organized and hygienic countries, you will quit following those trains that reason with their butt And if you are of the thought pattern, who doesn't know someone that knows someone that has covid-19 then my prayer is that your loved ones doesn't get infected till you quit being dogmatic
weblord1900: He should be investigated. Maybe U. S saw something they didn't see. Investigation is not a bad thing
Use your brain man Even a dummy will know that Dr Adesina is Afrocentric hence the reason US and other western countries that doesn't want the black man to rise want him out You are one out of many with a neocolonial mindset that doesn't serve the motherland
Kwanza: "11. Settlements for staff separations (unethical conduct, preferential treatment, impediment to efficiency). The reorganization of the Bank by President Adesina proved very costly in terms of agreed voluntary separation packages. However, on top of these packages, many separations were the subject of confidential amicable settlements for which it is unclear if they were needed or the result of preferential treatment. In 2019, the use of a contingency budget of UA 2.8m was requested and in 2020, an additional UA 2m was budgeted for such cases. An illustrative example is that of Mr. Celestin Monga, former Chief Economist, who, in exchange for a severance package of 15 months of salary (more than USD 400,000), tendered his resignation in September 2019 merely 3 weeks after his 3-year contract had been automatically renewed. Why wasn’t the contract not renewed at the expiry date which would have resulted in a lower compensation of just 36 days of salary? Did Mr. Monga and others benefit from presidential preferential treatment or were those compensations objectively justified? Was this a method to circumvent the requirements of article 37.2 of the Agreement and so bypass the consultation of the Board of Directors?
"12. Resignation of Mr. David Ssegawa (unethical conduct, preferential treatment, impediment to efficiency, adversely affecting confidence in the integrity of the bank). T his case is widely known in the bank after it was disclosed by the Ivorian ED and has been the subject of an internal audit and an investigation.A Ugandan national residing in Kenya,Mr.SSsegawa was appointed by the President to the position of Director of Human Resources in 2016. In clear violation of the Bank's rules and procedures, he signed through direct procurement two service contracts amounting to USD 2.1 million to the benefit of a Kenyan recruitment firm (CAREER CONNECTIONS Ltd) to process some aspects of staff recruitment. The maximum signing authority of a Director at the Bank, for direct procurement, is UA 100,000. On top of the abuse of the delegation of authority matrix, it was at the time alleged that Mr. Ssegawa had a stake in that company. When those fraudulent procurement practices were revealed and an audit was requested, the President separated from Mr. Ssegawa by letting him resign while under investigation and allegedly paying him a substantial severance package instead of sanctioning him. Since then, Mr. Ssegawa is enjoying the responsibilities of Global People Director at OXFAM.
"13. Resignation of Mr. Michel-Cyr Djiena-Wembou (unethical conduct, preferential treatment, impediment to efficiency, adversely affecting confidence in the integrity of the bank). This former country representative in Chad was found guilty of serious misconduct after an audit and an investigation. But instead of being sanctioned by the bank, he was allowed to resign and received a golden parachute as part of an amicable settlement. Not having to face the consequences of his acts, he is now, ironically enough, expert in good governance for ECCAS.
"14. Appointment of Mr. Charles Lufumpa as acting VP and Chief Economist (unethical conduct, preferential treatment, impediment to efficiency, adversely affecting confidence in the integrity of the bank). Yet another perplexing case of impunity. As Director of Statistics, Mr. Lufumpa, a Zambian national, awarded two contracts (to KNOEMA and PROGNOZ) for a total amount of more than USD 18m. Internal audits and fraud investigations have concluded that the contracts were fraudulently awarded, and the responsibility of Mr. Lufumpa has been established in 2016. To this day, no action has been taken by the bank towards Mr. Lufumpa. Better still, in October 2019, Mr. Lufumpa was appointed Acting VP and Chief Economist by the President.
"15. Disregard of rules concerning leave of absence of VPs or travel of management (unethical conduct, preferential treatment, impediment to efficiency). Mr. Khaled Sherif, VP for Regional Development, Integration and Business Delivery, has earned a strong reputation of being an absentee VP. In 36 months, the total amount of his unjustified absences is estimated at more than 14 months while he should be entitled to a maximum of 26 leave days per year. Nonetheless, he spends nearly 4 months a year at the bank's expense in Washington DC, where he was based before he was recruited by the AfDB. For example, he left Abidjan on the 4 of October 2019 only to return on the 22 of October (an 18-day absence), to take part in the World Bank's Annual Meeting, which just lasted 6 days from the 14 to the 20 of October. In addition, Mr. Sherif was also absent for 2 and a half months, from July to the end of September, without any valid reason, not to mention a one-month stay last June in the USA. From November 2019 to early 2020, he has been absent from the bank. Other members of the management also enjoy this possibility of abusing the travel policy without sanction. Among them, Mr. Fregene who spends 10 days every two months at the bank’s expense in the United States, where is family is located. We cannot imagine that these absences have not been authorized by the President and they question the economic use of resources and the operational capacity of the bank when the staff rules make no provision for tele-working.
"16. Political lobbying of Heads of State (unethical conduct, political activity, private gain). The President is the unchallenged travel champion of the bank. He uses the opportunities of these travels to meet with regional Heads of State and make financial promises (effectively bypassing governors, EDs and operational staff) to secure support for his reelection to a second term and to stifle competition. Ironically, in 2015, it was reported that Mr Adesina had lobbied the World Bank through the Nigerian governor to prevent Mr. Makthar Diop, then WB Vice-President for Africa, from using his official travels and position to campaign for his own election for president of the AfDB. Mr Diop consequently did not run. Recently, at its 56 Ordinary session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government, ECOWAS announced the endorsement of the candidacy of Mr. Adesina for a second term just after Mr. Adesina had delivered an address to the session. Being a politically elected function, any effort to secure an election or a re-election is considered a political activity. Staff willing to run for the office would have to resign before being allowed to do so."
They (US) want him out because him no wan lick their butt Adesina is a pan African....i'm appalled that his countrymen does not see this and instead yet again glorifies and believes what the white man says So sad, inferiority complex and unpatriotism playing out in so many folks mind

wasi9ice: okay, let's assume there's zero testing, has there been any death attributed to COVID 19 in Kogi State?
Covid isn't malaria, it spread very fast as much as l know, I may not be an NCDC staff like you, but I am a friend and a good user of the internet ,do you know how many lives the likes of Italy, Spain USA France etc lost within a month?
It spreads very fast yet doesn't leave so much death in its wake You seems not to be a good user of the internet like you claim else you would have remembered four suspected cases that died in FMC lokoja Maybe its the retentive memory thing tho
kb83: Kano has an index that later led to the break out due to contact, even at infection rate is still slow and judging from what we heard Corona cannot survive a temperature above 26°C.
What you heard has long been discarded by WHO and leading medical scientists You will do well to keep abreast of latest information and desist from peddling hearsays
kb83: Logically with the high temperature in Kogi,I bet Corona virus cannot survive it there, moreover the are angry that the cannot dish out figures in Kogi like they do in other states, please leave my people in Kogi alone, Corona na by force.
What are you saying man Yet coronavirus survived in kano where temperature is more extreme than kogi You better wake up from this your delusion, it pushing you to oblivion
Why can’t NCDC release the numbers of samples collected and tests done? These will allow us to compare the daily activities and monitor our curves. I think this is the essence of the numbers being released daily. Not just releasing numbers like a “Baba Ijebu” kinda lotto or bet9ja virtual games.
The daily results are meant for decision making on the way forward and the knowledge of the efficiency of our system being handled by the NCDC.
The number of samples tested daily should be hovering around 1200 - 1500 They cannot test more than that #Sad
iyke926: Natural disasters got no respect for Coronavirus.
Most African countries are lucky. Imagine, Africa was located around the Ring of Fire with those active tectonic plates that cause earthquakes and eruptions. Chai, how would most African countries cope?
And that's why we are taking everything for granted
kingkakaone: Bro, it would be nice to scrutinize what you hear, especially from politicians. Nobody beat anyone, in fact, there's another version goin on over here. They are cooking different stories to suit the madness. It's called, "give the dog a bad name so you can hand it conveniently".
I asked one that said the guy shot at them. I said," who did he aim at, you or your car so we can see the marks to verify", he kept quiet and said nothing.
See ehn, Oyo government didn't lock down like this and most people here clapped for him, Wike is locking down and most people are clapping for him too, isn't that confusion from the masses?
Wike is targeting businesses, and I thank God that my company is paying tax to the federal government, I can move it to another state and regularize my new address with the CAC. His indegens will lose jobs and the state will go broke.
You sure sounds like an APC apologist I'm scrutinizing this info i'm getting from ya You ain't doing a good job, it's easy to sense those Anti wike undertones
Gbogbowa: read your Bible Jesus will not close his church neither will he give it out for isolation,shame on bakare because of friendship with the presidency thinking he will be president or vice one day,shame on him
The same Bible talked about obeying constituted authority and being your brother's keeper You are so wrong for believing the Almighty lives in those houses
manuelreports: I just clocked 41 and I am yet to settle down.
Please house i want to know if I married too Late if i decide to settle down today.
I never expected to marry this late but you know one thing leads to another son of man is still trying to put somethings in order before marriage, in order to give my children the best life can offer.

Asabe4: While the lockdown is the best thing for the people of Rivers state, he shouldn't be destructive while enforcing same. A fine/sealing up buildings would be more logical.
Did you missed the part that read those Arrow beat up the task force that went to enforce the lockdown order of the River State Government I became unsympathetic after reading same
Gemid94: Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has given reasons why he demolished Prodest Hotel in Alode and Etemeteh Hotel in Onne, both in Eleme Local Government Area of the state.
Wike said the hotels were demolished after it violated an Executive Order on COVID 19, despite warnings from the State government.
The Governor said that the focus on hotels was because one of the coronavirus cases in the state spread the virus from a hotel.
Wike who monitored the demolition of Prodest Hotel, Alode, Eleme said his action was in line with the Rivers State Government Executive Order 6, which banned the operation of hotels across the 23 Local Government Areas of the State.
Governor Wike told newsmen at the demolition scene that the law must be obeyed, hence the State Government’s decision to enforce it.
Wike will partially be right if demolition of structures is stated as a penalty for violators of lockdown order in the recently passed emergency bill or as a fiat Either way, it's still gross
Gbogbowa: So Jesus will give out his church if he were in the world today?you criticize Jonathan but have not seen anything wrong in this govt,what you said today is like a pastor that has lost his calling I believe strongly that Jesus is not happy with you
How the Bleep did you know that Jesus is not happy with him I too strongly believe that he is neither happy with you for making this comment
DRJECKYLL: He is a doctor so he understands the gravity of carelessness when it comes to monitering any unnecessary movement. Especially in a country where prevention is better than cure.
olaboy33: At the end of the day when we finally accept we can't curtail this virus, we'll go the HIV and TB way.
It's going to kill people no doubt, like every other disease and virus does but we'll live our lives normally.
Imagine keeping every one indoors like goats
-because of a virus which those who tested positive to it can still protest and dance in treatment centers.
-which there is a very high recovery rate of positives.
With what we have seen here in Nigeria, Tuberculosis, Lassa fever, Aids and even HIV are far more worse with thousands of death yearly, yet, no one is locking anywhere.
Undue media overhyped Corona Virus.
I know understand why the WHO was reluctant to declare it a pandemic until the big big boys put in pressure.
i don't know why some peeps reason with their legs, everyone wants to make a statement even if it's gibberish....TB, Lassa fever and HIV are not as contagious as uncle covid Moreso, these diseases are well known and there are vaccines for them e.g BCG Covid was actually downplayed as a flu hence the reason for the late lockdown in countries like US, UK e.t.c....please stop displaying your ignorance in a gross manner
