The virus is has already taken foothold here in nigeria not only foriegners are now carriers gov. Wike should rather focus more on rivers land borders so as to prevent infected northerners from massively importing the virus into rivers.
ProjectNaija: This Forrest buffalo was felled earlier today on a hunting expedition and it's not an endangered species in case some hypocrites who "don't eat" meat want to make noise about killing a so called endangered animal again here.
Which state is this? I havent seen buffallos anywhere in nigeria.
MythMan147: As a young Itsekiri boy in Warri,i grew up to witnessed all the atrocities being committed by the muti-national oil companies back then while drilling for crude oil and supports given to them by the three tiers of government.These atrocities,ranges from oil spillage due the activities of the oil companies which rendered the soil in our region unfit for crops cultivation as well as,making water from rivers and streams unfit for human consumption and to air pollution,which made the breathing in of air difficult because of the high level of 'maime'in the air.Then non of the three major ethnic groups came to our aid back then,we as young as we were,had to picked up arms to fight against the injustice that was being perpetrated then with our sweat,blood and lives.
However,when we are still trying to come to terms with all these,ONE STUPID NONETITY DROP-OUT,who obviously woke up from the wrong side of his bed,now drew up a map that included non Igbo speaking core Niger-Deltal people his fathom Biafra,without our
No need for any alarm that biafran map is not an independent country yet as an Igbo boy that grew up in Warri I know quite well that the ethnic groups that makes up Warri and it's environs are naturally inclined to the binis and yorubas so I don't see any how Warri it's going to be in biafra when the time comes. Nmk have no right to force u guys into Biafra without ur consent besides what he is even asking for is a referudum where every ethnic group will decide for themselves where they want to ultimately belong to so why all the worries?

Wiseandtrue: That's it!!! The zeal is no longer there!
I can boldly tell you that many have lost interest in the Nigerian news before the emergence of Channels TV
Many just listen to the news from other broadcasting houses just to know what's happening around them
They don't rely solely on it because they know that Nigeria is politicised in everything
The emergence, ways and methods of broadcasting by channels changed that! Brought ray of hope only for it to be short lived!
Anybody that cares about the truth will be concerned with what's going on with channels TV right now!!!
You are absolutely very correct I used to marvel at their proffessional way of broadcast and news reporting during the days gej. They must have obviously caught the buhari's bug which intimidates the nigerian news media or john momoh the owner of channels has been heavily compromised by this buhari's regime.
Ifesinachi22: It will still end up in there pockets again.
That's why my community refused to disclose we recently discovered Gold deposits in our community for fear of the North, they will mine it and send the money to the North and others will end in their pockets or foreign bank accounts like Abacha did with Niger Delta Oil.
We'll leave our Gold deposit there till we find a better way of mining it to better the lives of our people.
I strongly believe that this virus has spread beyond imaginations!
Ganduje is just playing stupid politics!!
We need to know the cause of every single death in kano state!!
I no longer trust Ganduje!!
Ganduje is the worse governor kano state ever had!!
Our people must wake up from their slumber!!
Ganduje love for money will distroy kano if we don't wake up!!
And for you easterners that are always happy whenever they encounter this kind of thread!!
This virus is gradually spreading in your region Whitout people being tested!!
Anambra state that has highest number of foreigne returnees and people who illegally migrate back to east from different regions, your governors are busy lifting ban on churches and markets
You also have the most foolish governors in Nigeria!!
Many of you are here blaming kano and some are even enjoying the show!
Instead of pressuring your state governors to test more people and build isolation centers!!
You're all here waiting for any news to mock kano with and call them illiterates!
Can't believe that some of you are really happy with the spread of this virus in kano state!
Una go soon get sense by the time reality hit una! We are all in this together!!
States with no much cases should pressure their governors to tighten their borders and to test more people!!
Refusal to totally shut down borders and testing more people is the biggest mistake kano state government ever made!
What is even wrong with this guy? The deep hatred u have for others that is just what is causing all these Lamentations u should worry about ur dear kano and leave other states to handle the virus in their own way.
Handsome777: An estimated 84 million barrels of Nigerian crude oil is currently stranded at sea.
According to a report by Wall Street Journal, cargo ships filled with Nigerian crude had nowhere to go and Nigerian oil companies were competing to fill the “last few empty tankers still left at sea”.
The grave implication of this situation is that Nigeria stands a strong risk of experiencing tough recession in the coming days because its economic system is dependent on the revenue from sales of crude oil in the global market.
The WSJ report states that most of the stranded oil ships were coming from production fields managed by Royal Dutch Shell and Exxon Mobil.
But experts are of the opinion that it would be risky to shut down production in some oil fields as the wells are “too old to be restarted once they go idle”.
However, a situation where companies run out of vessels would make shutting the oil fields inevitable.
“When there are no more vessels to load the crude, then the entire world collapses,” Kola Karim, the chairman of Shoreline Natural Resources, was quoted to have said.
“You will have serious, serious security implications. Unrest.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, a tanker was turned back from the US Gulf Coast and it returned to the Canary Islands, where other Nigerian-hired ships are idled.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in reduced demand for crude oil across the world and a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia worsened an already bad situation.
In response to the fall in crude prices, Nigeria slashed its 2020 budget and reduced the budgeted crude benchmark.
The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies (OPEC+) also agreed on a graduated supply cut that is scheduled to last till April 2022.
Nigeria currently has over 2000 active cases of the coronavirus in addition to 385 recoveries and 85 deaths.
And buhari's govt just recently wasted $3b looking for more crude oil in the north money that was supposed to have been used to develop other sectors of the Nigerian economy. Economic depression not even recession is now looming around Nigeria.
At a time nations are putting aside their political differences to come together to fight this coronavirus pandemic that is ravaging the entire world gandollor is rejecting isolation centers donated by kwankwaso just because he belongs to the opposition party what a governor.
Omooba77: Leader of the Presidential Task Force Committee on Covid-19, Dr Nasiru Sani Gwarzo has on Sunday said coronavirus pandemic is responsible and the cause of the waves of mysterious deaths recorded in the Kano State.
Gwarzo said the recent deaths and from the test, it carried out it has been established that covid-19 is the cause.
He disclosed this while speaking with newsmen in the state on Sunday after the ceremony of donation of mobile testing laboratory facilities by Alhaji Aliko Dangote to the Kano State Government.
Also read: Lockdown: 22 violators from Zamfara caught hiding under beans sacks in Abuja According to Gwarzo, “Let me inform us that, most of the deaths recorded of recent and test carried out showed that coronavirus is the cause. So before the final reports which would be ready in the next one week or few days, it is necessary for people of Kano to wake up from their slumber that this is a serious issue.
“It is not a new thing, countries like America, China, Italy, Spain, England, France and others experienced similar mysterious deaths,” Gwarzo stated.
Recall that Dr. Nasiru Sani Gwarzo on matching order of President Muhammadu Buhari led the technical team of the Presidential Task Force to unravel the cause of mysterious deaths in Kano and also to contain the spread of the virus in the state.

COVID-19: Attendees at Abba Kyari’s burial test negative ―FCTA Earlier while presenting the mobile testing centre to the state government, the representative of the ‘Aliko Dangote Foundation’, Zouerra Yousufu said that the donation was to compliment the effort of the government in the fight against the pandemic in the state.
According to her, the centre has the capacity of testing 400 samples in a day, adding that 10 ambulances and six other vehicles were also donated to the state to ease movement.
“This centre with 400 testing capacity, we are planning by next week to commence testing of about 1,000 samples, and every logistic issue related to the laboratory, Dangote foundation will handle it.
“The laboratory which was conceived by a Nigerien and in Nigeria is aimed at speeding the testing of COVID-19 samples in the state.
“Looking at the population of Kano, more mobile laboratories are coming, and we assured you that the foundation will continue to support the fight against the pandemic in the stare and Nigeria in general.”
Responding, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje commended the foundation for the kind gesture, saying that it came at a time the state is in trouble over the issue of COVID-19, especially the testing centre.
According to Ganduje, “so far we have three testing centres in the state, that of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Bayero University and now the one donated by Dangote.
“With these centres, our work in fighting the pandemic will be easier.
“I have to commend the effort of President Muhammad Buhari for ensuring the reactivation of the NCDC centre after it was shut down a week back.
“With the three centres, the prevalence of the disease will be controlled,” Ganduje said while also commending the people of Kano for gradually believing the truth of the disease.
Also Speaking, the NCDC Director-General, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu commended the state government effort in fighting the pandemic in the state.
He assured to continue to work with the government towards controlling the spread of the disease in Kano and the country in general.
Gandollor have been playing politics with a very deadly disease like coronavirus I don't even understand why he rejected the isolation centers that was donated by kwankwaso.

The ear loops of the two personalities in those pictures are clearly very different. Naturally most Nigerians don't like the truth in a sane country there would have been a thorough investigation into this nmk allegations.
rennon: IPOB Continue Food and Materials Distribution In Edo State- Residents All Smiles. They set up Food banks where people come and pick up food and relief materials.
It's a welcomed development they know that buhari govt will use it to empower his terrorist brothers what is the use of the continuous return of abacha loot to this govt when they boldly told nigerians that they can't account for the ones they have received in the past?
gidgiddy: I think that all 6 geopolitical zones can become a country. The idea of financial difficulties will depend how prudently the use their resources, human and natural.
I noticed how some people are rushing to say that the SE is landlocked without equally mentioning that the NW,NE and NC are all landlocked. For them, it is only the SE that is landlocked. But no worries, Niger Republic, Chad and Mali are all North of Nigeria and are all landlocked. They are all still surviving as independent country
But is the SE truly landlocked? No it isnt, the only people who think that the SE is landlocked are those who dont look at the map of Nigeria well.
What some people dont realise is that neither Imo state nor Abia state are landlocked. Oguta in Imo state and Obuaku in Abia both have access to the Sea.
If you look at the picture of Abia state below, you will see that a tributary runs from the tip of Abia, separating Rivers and Akwai Ibom states, and into the ocean. Dredge that tributary, build a Sea port and and any ship can sail to Abia state.
Don't mind the haters if not for the wicked economic policies against the people of the SE region the SE is supposed to have a functioning standard international seaport either in anambra, imo or abia states by now.
sadi78: Who is imam of peace? if your mama born you well come to kano and speak this nonsense
i don't know when nigerians turned to hypocrites! why too much noise about mubaraks' issue mostly from christians?? three people where arrested today in katsina for insulting President Buhari and Gov. Aminu Bello Masari, but i didn't hear any noise! Mubarak insulted our Prophet and must be killed! that is the law and even his biological father is supporting a law to take it course on him! and whoever want stand for him, is free to come kano and meet us! enough for this noises please!!
Look at one bokoharam member here on nairaland why can't u allow ur prophet to defend himself instead of spilling the blood of an innocent man? How long will u northerners continue to kill innocent Nigerians in ur ever bloodthirsty lands in the name of fighting for muhammad and allah? The anger of the real God will surely rise someday to destroy all of you killers if you people refused to repent from ur very evil wicked ways. The daily cries for justice of thausands of innocent people u all have wasted in the north have reached the almighty and very soon he will soon descend with his judgement on all of you.
Arrewa: I expect ipobs to celebrate on hearing this news!!
I don't really know the kind of brain ipobs have!!
Your thanking religion and politics!! You're celebrating the evil that you believe is about to befall kano!!
Your only aim in life is to see the downfall of the North!!
Thank we are in this together!! All of una including Nnamdi cownu go soon get sense!!
This a good news to ipobs!! Emir of Rano is sick and has been rush to the hospital!!
You can see them already Celebrating!! That Covid19 is already killing northerners their enemies!
Will this hatred you have for the north add money to your account??
Will this hatred you for the north make you immune to Covid19??
Will this hatred you have north make you get igbo presidency or Biafra??
Will this hatred you have for the north keep the virus away from the east no??
There's strange death in Nsukka right now...people are dying mysteriously and you're here Thanking religion and politics!
I haven't seen any celebrations on this thread why all these rantings and lamentations? What has coronavirus got to do with biafra and igbo presidenncy I am beginning to feel that the life of an average northerner hugely depends on the out come of these two subjects above.
aguele: The Coalition Against Terrorism and Extremism (CATE) believes the leader of Boko Haram terrorist group Abubakar Shekau is playing double games with his sponsors, knowing he is almost at the end of the road.
Led by Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, troops of Operation Lafiya Dole have surmounted the jihadists in recent weeks with both land and air offensives.
Scores of the insurgents lost their lives while few others that survived like Shekau were said to be on the verge of surrendering to the troops, staring defeat on the face.
However, the factional leader, in a viral audio clip, refuted the Army’s onslaught despite overwhelming evidence.
And CATE believes this is just a coy to extort funds from his sponsors, bragging to satisfy them on one hand, retreating on the other.
In a statement signed by the National Coordinator, Gabriel Onoja, on Friday, the centre warned Shekau that he is engaged in an exercise in futility, one that will either end in his death or his eventual capture.
CATE, therefore, urged the Army not to keep the option of surrender on the table indefinitely, allowing troops to haul Shekau into custody with the speed of light.
Read full text below:
Coalition Against Terrorism and Extremism (CATE) has followed the released of an audio recording of Abubakar Shekau, who leads Boko Haram which he likes to call Jama’tu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, with interest considering the positive connotations the recording has for Nigeria’s war on terrorism. In the recording, Shekau futilely attempted to shake off the decimation that has been visited on his band of terrorists by the Nigerian Army after they had taken a previousus beating from the military of Chad.
Contrary to what Boko Haram spin doctors like Ahmad Salkida want the world to believe, there are glaring facts to be gleaned from Shekau’s audio recording, which points to the reality that this sick terrorist leader is staring defeat and possibly certain death in the face unless he pushes ahead with his reported plan to surrender.
First, it took Shekau this long to record an audio from his bolt hole and he cannot even do a good job of it as he was only able to record eight-minute 22 seconds of rant before he had to scurry off again, afraid that he would be bombarded into oblivion. We are aware that he had to wait until it is Ramadan, knowing that true believers in God must make time out to fulfil their religious obligations; while others were praying and breaking their fast became for Shekau the ideal time to record his short audio clip. An unbeaten Shekau would have recorded a lengthy diatribe.
Shekau’s preference for audio over video that would have given him mileage for proof of life confirms how scared he has become since the military took the war to his hideouts. He is aware that a video shoot, irrespective of how well he attempts to disguise the background or strip the file of metadata would have resulted in his exact location receiving the deserving packages from our ever-ready military. The Nigerian Army has constricted the space around Shekau, and it is a matter of time before the serpent begins to feed on its own tail, the terrorists are narrowing their options to committing mass suicide like they did in Chadian prison or being killed in battles they are now poised to lose.
The period that Shekau and his fighters have been scrambling around in Sambisa Forest must have affected him to the extent that he is unable to appreciate how the world have moved on since he first manifested his mental illness. Democracy has taken root and its dividends is what has sealed Boko Haram’s fate in areas from which the Army has expelled terrorists.
We will not worry about Shekau’s glorification of his murderous group’s disregard for social distancing needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. That they are disregarding social distancing is enough proof that they have a collective death wish and are ready to commit mass suicide via mass coronavirus infestation instead of falling from the bullets of the gallant troops of Nigerian Armed Forces. He is aware that exposure to COVID-19 will wipe out whatever is left of his terrorists’ camps within three weeks hence the stall tactics to allow enough time for himself and his members to die off.
The Coalition Against Terrorism and Extremism (CATE) is advising Shekau to die alone if he is so desperate to kill himself and to desist from his current attempt to lure more unsuspecting youth to join his doomed cause. He should jettison his ongoing drive to recruit unsuspecting youth as a replacement for the hundreds of his terrorists’ fighters that have been wasted by troops in recent weeks.
The overture that the Boko Haram leader made about surrendering is possibly the best decision he has even made in his lifetime. But, tragically for him, he allowed the allure of money to derail him into making the provocative audio recording that has shown him as a fraud, someone that will do anything to extort his sponsors.
Instead of accepting defeat quietly, he and his sponsors have decided to play a double game. He is bragging to satisfy the demands of his sponsors on one hand while they too are giving him the false hope that he would not be hunted down. He accepted to surrender at one end while promising his sponsors, particularly members of the Nigerian opposition at the other end that he will not surrender provided he is given more money to buy arms and ammunition to continue fighting.
CATE categorically warn Shekau that he is engaged in an exercise in futility, one that will either end in his death or his eventual capture that will amount to the height of ridicule for the persona he has built for himself with people’s blood.
We want to appeal to the Military not to keep the option of surrender on the table indefinitely. They should allow troops to haul Shekau into custody with the speed of light so that the terrorist and his sponsors will know that the military is not to be dared.
I don't understand why the entire nigerian armed forces are unable to pin point the exact location of abubakar shekau and wipe him and his bloodthirsty group out of existence for ever for so many years now in the open desert of sambisa forests with all the air power that hey have and currently enjoy? Most southern Nigerians will continue to see bokoharam as just a political creation of the north to hold on to power until the north do the needful. If the chadians a small muslim country can defeat bokoharam with ease in their territory what is then holding back a big country like nigeria from doing the same thing for over a decade if not the dirty political games of core northern nigeria and it's political rulers.
I knew nigerian heartless criminal politicians will also loot funds meant for the eradication and prevention of this coronavirus pandemic. Very useless set of people that are not supposed to have any business anywhere near govt offices.
1. Don't use your teeth to bite sachet water. Instead, use scissors.
You & I do not know who has handled the water before you bought it.
Do not also drink from the sachet, pour the water into a glass or cup.
2. If you have to eat bread, it is adviseable to toast it. You do not know who and how it was handled during the packaging. Even the one selling the bread can be infected.
3. If you have to eat anything packaged such as biscuits, yoghurt, Ice cream, bottled drinks, etc., please wash the wrapper because you don't know who and how it was handled before getting to you. This is because in the supermarkets people touch things they don't really pick / buy.
4. The virus does not discriminate. It infects everybody ( Doctors, Nurses, Presidents of nations, Soldiers, Civilians etc_) and there is no known cure for now.
5. Avoid all forms of gatherings irrespective of the number of people present. It's for your own good.
Very important info most people including even the govt won't take note of, this virus can easily spread even more through all these food items listed above. The govt really needs to urgently set up a special monitoring team that will start going into bakeries, pure water production factories and other foodstuff processing factories to ensure that the workers there are putting on hand gloves before handling food items that are destined for public consumptions. No one is even sure now if the hundreds of Nigerians that have tested positive so far in Lagos and other states contacted the virus through infected packaged food items.
The emir of Azare, Bauchi state, directed his Dogaris (palace guards) to mete out instant punishment to any Imam who held mosque prayers with more than 10 people and did not maintain any social distancing. One Imam thought he was above the law and held prayers in a jam-packed mosque, but someone reported him to the Dogaris and he was caught, AND FLOGGED[/quote
Northern Muslims are now getting wiser who ever believe that something like this can ever happen in the north few years ago.
Finstar: Covid19 is proof that every pastor, imam, native doctor, and the rest of them are con men. This pandemic has utterly disgraced them. All of a sudden, they are not waiting for science
This is no ordinary virus it's a biological weapon that was created in a lab in Wuhan china Donald Trump have even comfirmed that he now has the hard evidence that it was actually created by the Chinese. So we should let science deal with what they created leave God and his servants out of this.
The only ultimate solution to this killer virus is to find a permanent cure or a vaccine how long can state govts continue to lockdown their borders and means of income? With the reckless altitude of most nigerians this coronavirus is going to be with us for quite some time.
This muric man should just go and join abubakar shekau in sambisa forest instead disturbing Nigerians with his daily useless press statements. Almost all sensitive positions in nigeria are been headed by his fellow Muslim brothers yet he keeps shouting like a mad man every day as if christains are the ones who are running things in Nigeria.
The Yoruba nation has been accepted as the 45th member of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation, UNPO. President of the Yoruba World Congress, YWC, Banji Akintoye, said this on Tuesday, noting that the latest development represented a very important step in the collective quest of Yoruba people to achieve the goal of dignity and self-determination. UNPO, formed on February 11, 1991 in The Hague, Netherlands, is an international membership-based organisation established to empower the voices of unrepresented and marginalised peoples worldwide and to protect their fundamental human rights.
Members comprise indigenous peoples, minorities, unrecognised peoples or peoples of occupied territories. Akintoye, in a statement, noted that the Yoruba-speaking nation membership was contained in a letter addressed to him through the YWC Coordinator for Europe by her Secretary-General, Ralph Bunche. He said UNPO membership affords the Yoruba nation an opportunity to participate in advocacy training, worldwide cultural festivals, election monitoring/observation, and sports activities, among the unrepresented nations. Akintoye said: “Some former members, such as Armenia, East Timor, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia and Palau have gained full independence and have joined the United Nations, UN, as full members.
“The peoples represented within the UNPO membership are all united by one shared condition: they are denied their equitable level of representation and voice in the institutions of the countries to which they currently belong and in international governance. “As a consequence, their opportunity to participate on the national or international stage is limited and unfair, and they struggle against difficulties in their effort to realise their rights to civil and political participation and to control their own economic, social and cultural development. “In many cases, they live under pressure of the worst forms of violence and repression, such as is being perpetrated by armed herdsmen and militias, as well as by terrorist Boko Haram, against many peoples of Nigeria, including our Yoruba nation.
“This violence and repression are being adroitly and surreptitiously supported by the government of Nigeria. “In some cases, members of UNPO need serious help because they live in countries and under governments that actively resist their progress and destroy their achievements, as our Yoruba nation lives in Nigeria. “The UNPO is able to address issues that often remain hidden because UNPO has the freedom to raise issues that others cannot raise due to political or funding constraints. Today, UNPO has more than 40 member-nations.”
