People with their deception

Kneeling of some Democrat to honour Floyd was not out of place and it is commendable. The poser that readily comes to mind is Floyd was not the only black killed by white supreamacist. It was an often occurrences during the time of Mr Obama.
Why are the Democrat behaving saint than the pope? Trump should be careful with his utterance. Rest in Peace George Floyd!

The fact is that we are not social distancing or observing the stipulations in the guidelines of Covid 19 for the government but for ourselves. If you dare contract it, you are on your own

From the comment made by AJ, I did not notice any racial prejudice. The Caucasians can as well fu*ck off. Bolton Major in downtown Queens, fu*ck off.

Use that money to rent a nice house in a highrow area. That will afford you the opportunity to meet rich people and you will start thnking big. You better don't mingle with poor ass. As a man thinketh, so is he. Okay

Some shadow of the past can still be felt in the present

We the younger generation might not be able to say much about Prof. Gambari, though we get our facts about him from the pages of history. From all I know, he is a bad man and that badness is inherent in him. The last line of Simon Kolawole's word shows one of what influenced him, this is euniciated thus "However, someone who has endured taunts of “Gambari pa Fulani” in his life must have developed antibodies by now".

The fear is that he might not be able to withstand the bullet.

At 25 I expected you to be sensible. You scolded your mum over a girl you already know has anger issues. You scolded your mum for a thing you know is from abusive home, u scolded your mum for a girl you are just tolerating, and you scolded your mum for a girl who neither respects you nor your mum.
You are being blindfolded because she is probably beautiful and she has many toaster. You think you don't deserve better ladies out there and your mum does not deserve to be treated with dignity, Abi? You should break up with your mum then. You are senseless!!! You better think again.

Tadeknkeepcalm:
Ehya,
That statement is very painful. It can make someone even commit suicide.


Now that you can't break up with the girl, kuku break up with your mama

You are the best my fellow nairalander. Thumbs up once again for your write up.

By their looks you know the kind of specie of human being they are. Gambari and one other person I will not mention are birds of a feather. Mitchew

Amist high level of corona virus in the United States, I won't think twice if given the opportunity to go to the States.

You can go for Master programme if you are unable to secure a job. Instead of Merry go rounding the street, furthering your education is not a bad idea.
The Scheme of Service stipulates that a holder of a Master degree will be one level above someone with a Bachelor degree.
Possessing a master degree might be advantageous for you in the civil service.

Is that the man who wants to rule Nigeria?

From the tone if your write up, you are interested in the babe. You said your wife is a gossip. You wanted to paint your wife bad so that naira landers can be blamed for your misfortune. Sorry about that. Go ahead and fuclk her.

IN October 1918, the world was still fighting World War I. Although the end of hostilities was near, news censorship remained. Therefore, it was left to the noncombatant country of Spain to report that civilians in many places were becoming ill and dying at an alarming rate. These circumstances gave rise to the name by which the disease would forever be known​—the Spanish flu.

The pandemic began in March 1918.* Many investigators trace its origin to the state of Kansas, U.S.A. From there it was apparently spread to France by newly arrived U.S. soldiers. After a sharp increase in influenza deaths, by July 1918 it seemed that the worst was over. Little did doctors know at that time that the pandemic was only gathering strength to become a more efficient killer.

When World War I ended on November 11, 1918, the world rejoiced. Ironically, at almost that same time, the pestilence broke out earth wide. It was a monster that now claimed international headlines. Few who lived through that time were untouched, and all were frightened. A respected authority on influenza noted: “Life expectancy in the United States dropped by over 10 years in 1918.” How did this pestilence differ from others?

A Unique Pestilence

A most alarming difference was the suddenness with which this flu struck. How sudden? In the recent book The Great Influenza, author John M. Barry quotes a written record of this experience: “In Rio de Janeiro, a man asked medical student Ciro Viera Da Cunha, who was waiting for a streetcar, for information in a perfectly normal voice, then fell down, dead; in Cape Town, South Africa, Charles Lewis boarded a streetcar for a three-mile trip home when the conductor collapsed, dead. In the next three miles six people aboard the streetcar died, including the driver.” All died of the flu.

Then, there was the fear​—fear of the unknown. Science had no answer as to the cause of the disease or exactly how it spread. Public health measures were imposed: ports were quarantined; movie theaters, churches, and other public meeting places were closed. In San Francisco, California, U.S.A., for example, officials ordered the whole population to wear gauze masks. Anyone caught in public without a mask faced a fine or jail. But nothing seemed to work. Such measures were simply a case of too little, too late.

There was also fear because the flu struck indiscriminately. For reasons still not clear, the 1919 pandemic did not primarily afflict the elderly; it struck healthy young people and killed them. The majority of those who died of the Spanish flu were between 20 and 40 years of age.

Moreover, it was truly a worldwide epidemic. It even reached tropical islands. Influenza was introduced into Western Samoa (now known as Samoa) by ship on November 7, 1918, and within two months about 20 percent of the population of 38,302 died. Every major country of the world was dramatically affected!

Also, there was the enormity of this scourge. For example, the disease hit early and especially hard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. By mid-October 1918, there was a serious shortage of coffins. “One manufacturer said he could dispose of 5,000 caskets in two hours, if he had them. At times the city morgue had as many as ten times as many bodies as coffins,” says historian Alfred W. Crosby.

In a relatively short time, the flu had killed more people than any other pandemic of its kind in human history. A common estimate of worldwide deaths was 21 million, but some experts now judge that figure to be low. Some epidemiologists today suggest that a more likely toll is 50 million deaths or perhaps as many as 100 million! Notes Barry, mentioned earlier: “Influenza killed more people in a year than the Black Death of the Middle Ages killed in a century; it killed more people in twenty-four weeks than AIDS has killed in twenty-four years.”

Incredibly, the Spanish flu killed more Americans in about a year than died in battle in both world wars combined. Author Gina Kolata explains: “If such a plague came today, killing a similar fraction of the U.S. population, 1.5 million Americans would die, which is more than the number felled in a single year by heart disease, cancers, strokes, chronic pulmonary disease, AIDS, and Alzheimer’s disease combined.”

To put matters succinctly, the Spanish flu was the most devastating pandemic in the history of mankind. What help came from science?

When Science Proved Helpless

By the beginning of World War I, medical science had seemingly made great strides in conquering disease. Even during the war, doctors took great pride in their success at reducing the effects of infectious diseases. At the time, The Ladies Home Journal declared that American homes no longer needed a room for laying out the dead for viewing. It suggested that such parlors henceforth be called living rooms. But then came the Spanish flu, and medical science proved almost totally helpless.

Crosby writes: “All the physicians of 1918 were participants in the greatest failure of medical science in the twentieth century or, if absolute numbers of dead are the measure, of all time.” Lest the blame be placed entirely on the medical profession, Barry makes this point: “Back then scientists fully comprehended the threat’s magnitude, knew how to cure many secondary bacterial pneumonias, and gave public-health advice that would have saved tens of thousands of American lives. Politicians ignored that advice.”

So now, about 85 years later, what has been learned about this terrible pandemic? What caused it? Could it come back? Could it be fought successfully if it did? Some of the answers may surprise you.

I will say RIP to Kyari.

Thanks for the information

Up Idris Debby of Chad. No matter what you will tell us through your propangandry channel, Nigerians will not praise the Federal government. As a matter of fact, it is belated. Debby we know, Buhari must go.

Those in authority in Nigeria are feeding fat on the BH issue. They never wanted the insurgence to end because that is where they get their largesse from. God will purnish you guys.

Debby of Chad has done, him we know.

As for BH trying to surrender all are lies. Tell that to the birds. Debby went headlong and conquered the BH without paparazzi.

Thank you

I don't want to comment. If I comment, I will offend some people. I might even offend the dead. Quite sad, quite bizzare, quite unfortunate. The deceased should have lived for her children no matter the pressure.
We all face pressure at one time or the other, some face pressure of money, while another face pressure from family, but at one time or the other, they overcome it because life itself is full of pressure. That is one of the things that make it interesting especially when you overcome the pressure of life.
Who will look after her children now, haba [color=#990000][/color]

The Presidential Task Force on Covid 19 or those in charge are only interested to embezzle money. That explains why they are adamant when Nigerians were against the coming of the Chinese.

I see no special thing about the Chinese which is lacking in our own qualified doctors. Buhari should be held responsible if Covid 19 persist and for turning deaf ear to the clamour of Nigerians.

I pray that God will intervene in this situation.

God bless you and the writer of the story. Nairalamders are superb, Nigerians are priceless. Thank you all

Nigeria is a lawless country. A country where the government does not consider the opinion of the people. Nigeria doctors are on top of covid 19 and they are not doing bad, Buhari and his goons have now imported tributary of the virus to Nigeria.

My take: make sure you are 100 percent sure that your brother is sleeping with your cousin. If you confirmed this, talk to him to desist from such act. The society frowns at it and there is nothing we can do about it.

I once fell in love with my cousin but because the society rejects it, we have to quit. She is married and I am married, we can't just continue with it. We have sought for forgiveness and we believe we have been forgiven. We love each other, I believe we still do but we can't go far with it. It is called incest. The society forbids it and there is nothing we can do about it.

So talk to your brother to quit because the society will not accept it.

I studied Philosophy and I don't regret it. Maybe my life would have been better than now had I studied another course. Well, I wouldn't have known anyway. Still I give God all the glory.

Coronavirus: A Facebook User’s Experience Of Getting Tested In Abuja

ATTENTION: PRESIDENCY & FED. MINISTRY OF HEALTH

To tell you the truth, NCDC can't do anything for you because they are not ready.
All this PR they are doing they are assuming people will not try that's why.
On Wednesday (25/03/2020) I and a colleague of mine decided we want to be sure of our status before going into #selfisolation.

So we went through the following steps

1. We called the toll free line and after all the normal recorded stories, when we chose to speak to an agent they end the call.

2. We went to University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, they told us they don't do testing there, that the hospital is only an isolation center. They refer us back to NCDC office in town, told us that's where testing lab is.

3. We drove to NCDC office at Jabi. There are two NCDC offices there in close proximity. The first office told us they don't do testing but they directed us to the second office saying that's where testing is handled.

4. The second office too absolved themselves of that responsibility and directed us to NCDC National Reference Laboratory, Gaduwa.

5. We visited the NCDC NRL. On getting there, the security at the gate informed us that a lot of people were there too earlier in the day and were turned away. That they don't do testing for individuals unless your state took your sample and submit to them.

6.They refer us to a circular posted at the gate and told us to contact the FCT Epidemiology team lead on COVID-19.

7. When I called him I introduced myself by name and then asked him if he's the FCT team lead on this issue. He answered yes. I then asked him how do I go about getting tested. He asked who are you? Who gave you my number? I told him I'm an Abuja resident and his number is on a circular at the NCDC office. He told us he doesn't know. He said we should go to NCDC. I told him but they referred us to you. He was silent. I then asked him to advise us. He told us to go to "National Health Disease Control" which doesn't exist.

I will send a copy of the circular to this forum.

Obviously they are doing selective testing which is dangerous.

It means a lot of people might have been infected already but for lack of testing they are moving about infecting others.

While the information from the official channels are saying people are not coming forth, the truth is that people are going but are been turned away.

And I know because I was turned away first hand.

It also tells you that either the NCDC are lying to us or they are not coordinated at all. How will you explain three branches of the office each denying responsibility and pointing us to the next instead of just explaining to us the laid down procedures by the NCDC

I know it will come to dis. Nigeria is a zoo, I am very sure of this. My advice is that Stay Safe because Nigeria Government has nothing to offer
