Me am hanging my keys from now till further notice. And I'll advise you to do so too (if you can) if you watch aljazeera and see what's happening in Italy, I dont think youll have the nerve to step out. NB, uber/bolt drivers are highly exposed as some healthy ppl you hail today might be carrier as symptoms hide till after 14days.

I wish you all God's protection at a time like this

Bruv,do you really think the hysteria over this virus is necessary. Do u really think Nigerians can sit at home for 2 weeks straight.do u really think naija economy can stand a total shutdown for just one week?

What we need is massive efficient sensitisation on safety and hygiene. All this panic will cause a bigger crisis than covid19 can ever cause.

Law and order totally breaks down when there is massive hysteria. That really is my own fear

FuckThaMod:
You Nigerians don't know what is going on, do you?
The earlier everyone isolates themselves by sitting at home, the better. If not, a lot are gonna die!

We need to stop all this unnecessary panic,how can you tell Nigerians to stay at home because of this. What u need to keep preaching is how best people can protect themselves and educate them properly about the virus.

U think Nigerian economy can stand just one week shutdown right now. All this panicking will cause more crisis than u can ever imagine

NextD18:
I don't understand, are victims of Coronavirus suppose to visit the police?

What's wrong this IG of a boy sef?

How stooopid can one sound? All to say something?

U need to read the post again,this time line by line. If u then still don't understand the message,I am sorry.........

awhybliss:
Exactly my brother.. Mostly in Nigeria here.. Something is telling me the pandemic has been politicised, core truth there is corona in Nigeria.. But my heart of heart tell me from the day I saw nasarawa record 1st case that na scam to collect money from ministry of health and to embezzle

Even when I read somewhere that katsina had a suspected case. I couldn't stop laughing

Kizyte:
I understand the fact that she's tested positive, but one thing I don't understand is why she's laughing about it

Some people think Coronavirus is a joke...

Please don't joke about this, see what's happening in Italy; 475 people die every 24hrs. Take precautions and stay protected!

I think the whole thing is being a bit exaggerated.

They are both asymptomatic to the most dreaded virus right now and they are both smiling and all comfy like nothing happened.

Yet everyone is already panicking that this virus would wipe us out.

Me for one will stick with the thinking that there is more lies than truth around these covid19 BS.

I still saw British airways, Lufthansa and Emirates fly into MMA today

How has your so called academic achievements done for you? You produce crude oil but you're importing petrol until recently save for one individual who saw a biz opportunity. Can you even make your own soap

You just wait and see the Nigerian economy in 10 years and urs in same period. Yes we have suffered misgovernance,a civil war,a dysfunctional political system and very useless political class,these much I agree but we still standing strong and tall.
Nigerians make their own way,Nigerians are go getters ,strong,brave and industrious.

You only lucky u still got ur apartheid masters around still helping u hold the systems they built together.
If u suffered half what Nigerians have passed through, I bet u be dead by now

DictatorZAR1:
Thats the response of a illiterate trying to hide the fact that South Africans are more literate then Nigerians who has over 100m people who cant read or write. Our Universities and schools are rated the Top in all of Africa when it comes to research output, yet here you come and spew your ignorance.

As for disease burden SA's life expectancy tells us all that on average a South African lives longer then a yellow fever Igbo Igbo bast@rd.

It's obvious u weren't taught manners in those supposed schools of yours. Your education is also vile and shallow.

As I stated, u can have a higher literacy ratio than Nigeria but u do not have as many educated people as Nigeria- 25 of 50 is 50% but 45 of 100 is 45%. Your people are not better educated than Nigerians and can never be.

I agree ur universities may have higher rankings than the ones in Nigeria but I bet u Nigerians will always beat u in academic achievements any day any time.

You also need to back ur disease arguments with facts,if Nigeria was so diseased ravaged as your dimwited mind thinks,we still wouldn't be the most populous black nation.

Didn't even bother to read past the heading but can these people shut it already. Is it the name that should bother you or your contributions in ensuring it works for all of us..

DictatorZAR1:
Where did you check or get your info from, because if that was the truth we would be suffering from the same insurgency and ISWAP issues like you guys in West Africa. But last time i checked SADC is the most stable region in SSA.

We are talking about light arms proliferation. What we are suffering in Nigeria and by extension west africa is that ISWAP is multi national and a foreign agression.

You cannot compare terrorism in Nigeria with illegal arms proliferation in SA.The former is a war why the latter is norm.

DictatorZAR1:
The irony is that Nigeria has a far lower literacy rate then SA and has a far larger disease burden compared to SA and I'm not even touching on Nigeria's infant mortality rate.

Considering the population of Nigeria, illiteracy will definitely exceed SA's,even India have higher figures than Nigeria.

However Nigeria has more educated people than SA and also more skilled work force than SA.

About disease burden,we all know the HIV capital of the world

IronGalaxy:
You are proving my point exactly! Why is anyone doing something illegal suspected to be a Nigerian in the first place? That's cause you guys have set a precedent. Simple

I can only laugh at the " envy" part

Cause ur lot are ignorant and no zilch about other cultures. The bandwagon frenzie distorts intuitive thinking by a group of people who decide to stay illiterate.

IronGalaxy:
when you haven't proved it is? Anyway it is what is, we don't care

dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.Thats the Google definition of xenophobia. You dislike Zimbabweans and what more to proof this than this border wall nonsense backed by government propaganda.

IronGalaxy:
Nope, Nigerians aren't sorely responsible for those crimes, BUT! When a certain group keeps popping up on the news for a variety of crimes it creates a perception among people and it's natural. There's a reason why South Africans don't view Ethiopians, for example the way they view Nigerians. Africans in general actually view Nigerians the same way, and we can't all be wrong! Another thing, any country in the world can tolerate it's own bad apples but not external ones.

And Soweto can't possibly have illegal arms more than west Africa since the same Soweto is not even a violent place. Again, making up stories as we go

Even in the west, almost all English speaking black Africans are often suspected to be Nigerian. Just recently a cameroonian was deported and dumped in nigeria.its also similar in SA.
The envy u guys have for us makes u push the stereotype button against us instinctually against all common sense.

There are more illegal arms in SA than the entire West Africa.

IronGalaxy:
This convo is beginning to run in circles. Tell me when have we not appected that HIV is a homegrown problem?

Please quote this things..

You are just harping on the mundane on this matter. You should also prove to me that this border wall BS isn't xenophobia!!

Frankcallys:
When Naija recorded our first case of covid19, South Africans were laughing at us and making jokes of how it will deal with us and our 200 million plus population.

Now they have 150 confirmed cases as of last night and 20 out of the 150 were locally transmitted. The Health Minister said last night that the number will pass 200 this morning. Now they gonna use almost R38million to build the fence instead of acquiring more beds and quarantine equipments.

The fence they are building, unknowingly they are helping Zimbabweans who have not recorded any case of covid19. We that live in Gauteng province (Johannesburg) are the hardest hit compared to other province. Worst case, the locals (South African blacks) are not taking this serious and it's going to backfire pretty soon.

Let me kuku go and search for Chloroquine sef, I don use to Chloro from my childhood in NAIJA. I know say e go scratch me die but prevention is better than cure. Before you know it now dem go begin say na we Nigerians carry am come South Africa.

My people, make una keep safe jare.

Don't mind them!! I asked what happen when covid is over,will the wall be removed? They can't answer!!

IronGalaxy:
he's clutching at straws this one. Nigerians are blamed for a lot of crimes in South Africa because let's be honest, they"ve earned that.

There we go again, blaming others for crime your people are active participants. Are Nigerians solely responsible for drugs,high murder rates,arms proloferation,car jackings,robberies,govt corruption,rape etc in SA?

The last I checked,SA is way ahead of Nigeria in all these indices- there are more illegal arms in Soweto alone than the entire west africa!!

IronGalaxy:
The fact that they're porous everywhere doesn't mean they should be in South Africa. Porous borders create social instability.


Nobody denied that HIV is our problem, I said remind me of the time when we blamed foreigners for the HIV, or where you making up stuff as you go?

Accepting that HIV is an home grown problem is what I am talking about so u know where to look when dealing with.

I am not making shit up.we all know Your people have a penchant for placing blames on others and believing foreigners are their problems as we have seen several times over

TMKsouth:
Clearly u can't differentiate between a border & a border-gate. U r indeed a slowpoke!!

The covad outbreak is gonna affect all countries, including Zimbabwe. SA building a fence is FORESIGHT. Something that has alluded your dumb country & government until only just yesterday when they finally decided to wake up to reality.

Most borders have gates but u can't have in all borders and not all borders have walls. The only foresight u see with ur xenophobic mind is purely using this as an excuse to curb immigration from Zimbabwe,a country in same economic Bloc and region as you.

Will u remove the wall after covid19 is contained?

I agree that Nigerian government was a bit careless with this Virus but it's better late than never. That's the difference between me and you- I accept responsibility,you place blame all the time.

IronGalaxy:
Any move south Africa makes for the benefit for it's people is always met with the same boring " xenophobia " it's boring, annoying and hypocritical. Anyways south Africa's borders have been porous for a long time and any sane country would do well to strengthen. And btw can you please refer to me when South Africans blamed others for HiV or literacy because where I stand, you're just making stuff as you go.

Borders are porous everywhere,even all mighty USA would tell u that. Most often than not immigrants aren't always the problem but systems and government always looking for excuses to cover their failures. At least Nigerians have learnt that since the "Ghana must go" hoax



However if u agree that HIV and illiteracy is an homegrown problem in SA,then u are one of the reasonable few out there!!

TMKsouth:
How does one close a border that does not have a fence or wall IDIOT??

All countries are closing their borders in case u haven't noticed.

Your hate for sa is blinding u!

Don't hate SA,love the girls and the weather and way more organized and developed than Nigeria.IDIOT!!

Closing borders isn't same as building walls idiot. Even countries bordering China aren't building walls. Idiot!!

SA building walls against people with yet zero covid19 infection,what's the sense in that. IDIOT!!

IronGalaxy:
how is South Africa in denial?

Does building a wall stop Corona spread. Especially a wall against people with yet zero transmission.

SA will blame everybody but themselves for their problems. HIV,armed robbery, drugs,gangs, unemployment, corruption, illiteracy etc

This things happen every where no doubt but u don't find people pointing fingers at others as quickly as south Africans do

The economy is shutting down and u say people should not panic especially coming from the most unserious set of people in the world (naija govt).

Abeg if u Noh panic, then u still believe bubu will still make N1 to $1.

I laughed really hard when I saw this signed by Garba Shehu

South Africans and self denials are like 5 & 6. "Blame others for your failures so as to gain sympathy from people"

Govt magic

Yes ingenious no doubt. But the fact that a full Sovereign State is deeply broke that she can't afford $100m to repay her debt is for me pathetic. Do you think that such can be said of any Non-African Nation?

Sir, tchad is one of the poorest countries in the world with very little resources.

Many African states are not viable economically and are burdened by depressing socio economic factors

Are we having a new oshiomole or this is just testing testing?

free speech is fundamental human rights...ranting is not...have you read the Constitution

The Constitution does not appropriately capture expressions on social media as this case and his supposed rant can be termed a mere expression and it should end at that.

[quote author=IWTBAB post=87524126]dey should Jail her parents asap.

Pathetic.
