True

Yeah, Nigeria almost had something like that in the 1980-1990s but only in selective places.

This is a very stupid thing to say. If your family member dies of this virus, you'd be speaking differently.

Lemme educate you.
1918, when the Spanish flu hit, there was an estimated world population of 1.8 billion people.
The number of deaths from the flu was at 50 million.
The number of infected was at 500 million.

Since you like percentages, let's do some.
The number of deaths in 1918 to the world's population was just 2.7%
2.7% is small until you remember that 2.7% is a whopping 50 million people.
The number of deaths from the confirmed cases of 500 million is small, just 10%, until you remember that just 10% is a whooping 50 million people.

Next time, think before you open your stupid mouth or type stupid things.

Be careful what you say about people you do not know, never met and may never meet.

Were you born when his father started several businesses and added Domino chain of supermarkets to his businesses. Have you never heard of Domino stores? I'm sure you must have either a Domino store or Pizza around your neighbourhood now. That family has always been super rich - not wealth from politics but trading and industry.

Were you born when Ben Bruce started managing his father's billion naira business empire? Were you born when Ben started the highly successful most beautiful girl pageant in Nigeria in 1981? Where were you when he lived in America several years ago? Did he steal public funds to set up Silverbird group? He was not in politics then. What was wrong with his venture into politics to serve his people? Were you asleep when Silverbird galleria was sealed up four years ago over a debt running into several millions? Why did he not loot funds to have his organisation reopened?
Where were you when he honourably stepped down for the serving Senator to take over based on a simple gentleman agreement between the party and party members. He could have remained there if he wanted. MBGN and Domino stores brought him and his family fame. There are several families like that in Nigeria like Tejuosho, Dantata, Fajemirokun, Eleganza, Ibru, Augustine Ilodibe (Ekene dili Chukwu) and many more who never ventured into politics.

You cannot equate Ben Bruce Murray among your so called looters bro. Looters never at the beginning have visible means of income, if you do not know. They open factories and own estates after they get into political offices. That is why they cannot defend their sources of wealth before EFCC & ICPC.

Ben Bruce is not one of those my brother. That is why he enjoys his wealth in peace. He was already stupendously wealthy from very clean income before his senatorial office.

Please always check your information before your comments so you do not end defaming people.

This is height of irresponsibility displayed by the former Sinator!!

Everything has time and duration, the Lock down was absolutely necessary at that time, or else we won't be saying all this we are saying

now that it counter productive, let government go back to the drawing board and see a way forward

What about OPEC?

You did not mention their influence on oil prices..

Admin please try push this to front page.

BE INFORMED ON HOW CRUDE OIL IS PRICED.

1.0 INTRODUCTION.

Yesterday, 20th of April 2020, I read many conflicting Facebook updates from my friends on crude oil Price per barrel. Many are worried about the WTI that fell below $0 per barrel as they thought it is the same Benchmark with which the Nigerian crude oil is traded.
(Nigeria uses Brent Crude as Benchmark)

Though, there is need to be worried as the.....

Just watched 'Chief Daddy' last week. May his soul rest in peace

gowonmaharajah:

The two main Caverton offices in Rivers are located in Air Force base and shell IA so... how will an LGA chairman enforce this “order”??

jaxxy:
Did sanwolu not arrest party goers here for violating covid19 containment orders and the minister of aviation was saying rubbish. The aviation coy also doesn't know the protocol of informing the state of such movement?

poshestmina:
Wike is the Governor and Chief Security Officer of Rivers State and so can, should and has done the right thing to protect his territory.

What exactly was the mission of the helicopter and who were the passengers?

Their Sinister , unknown mission is highly suspicious.

Why does Lagos State government have right to arrest and prosecute Funke Akindele etc for breaking the Lockdown Regulations and Rivers State government can't arrest and prosecute people for same offences?

SMH

What business is more important than the health of Rivers State people at this particular point in time?
Wike has done well and we are in support of it.

Everybody stay in your state till all of this is over ,it's not that hard!!!!.

oyeb15:
Federal Government have sole authority over airspace. States have no right whatsoever. Does wike seek approval from Sanwo olu anytime he flies Rivers State Jet and Chopper to Lagos?
Wike can't try that with Olusegun Okikiola Obasanjo as president.
This lockdown if not quickly stopped by FG, some oil rich states will gang up and declare independence. It will break Nigeria.

Xisnin:
Caverton is foolish for trying to fight the state government.

The state government owns all the land within its boundary and any
business that wants to succeed must obey state rules and regulations.

All Caverton management should have done is submit the manifest of its passengers for
proper testing and quarantine but they refused because they feel too big.

Mask are only for people close to the infected ....how many times have you seen Trump wear mask ?

mvem:
you are ignorant...what he says is exactly the views and advise of WHO. The mask wearing is a controversial one and only 2 days did Trump approve it for US though Trump said he won't wear one...WHO says the mask wearing should be done by only the infected and health workers but others had different interpretation. Infact initially it was said Mask has no advantage at all....this guy is the best epidemiologist in Nigeria and you are telling him he is saying rubbish because you know more than him...he was one of the selected few that was part of the WHO delegation that went to China to carry out firsthand analysis

Few days ago, Chad president led his army to rescue Nigerian soldiers while Buhari was still learning how to spell Covik 1-9.

Reference:
Indeed. Deregulation and liberalisation go hand in hand. It is either all or none. That is the difference between the success story of telecommunications and the failure so far of the power sector.

No one told them what to charge for their services and where they decide to deploy. When goverment begins to fly the kite of so called 'security' meaning they are prepared to distort the market then nothing can be achieved.

They can decide to mess up the Dangote refinery for instance overnight.

This is the brain behind Nigerians response to this virus ....but he is not praised because of where he is from ...

Nna keep doing your work ...we appreciate you

Thank you for bringing up our case here sir.

We have not been paid by FBN for the logo we designed for their 125th Year anniversary celebrations and FBN is still protecting those who used their privileged position in FBN to cheat us out of our sweat and labour by using the logo we created for the bank to celebrate their 125th Year anniversary for First Bank Plc without our permission or paying us a dime.
We were interviewed by Saharareporters


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RKuP3nzXew

Instead of FBN to get in touch with us for an amicable solution, they called Saharareporters. When asked pointedly by Saharareporters if they had paid us, the FBN rep on the phone said No. When asked why, he promised to find out and get back to Saharareporters. It's been weeks now and still haven't gotten back to Saharareporters.
The bank doesn't have respect for creative talents and it's not fair at all.
This is the same bank spending millions on PR including this PR that flew straight to the front page of nairaland when our own plight as a small brand has not made FrontPage of nairaland in months now.

First Bank of Nigeria Limited has saluted medical professionals tackling the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria and the world.

The Bank in a series of tweets on its Twitter page on Friday acknowledged the role medical experts are playing to fight the virus.

Some of the messages read: “No capes, just heroes. To all the health professionals at the frontline of efforts to tackle COVID-19, we say thank you. Your timeless efforts are much appreciated. The world called and they responded.”

“No cape, just lab-coats. No superhuman capability, just dedication, strength, and compassion. As we play our parts of staying at home, we thank our medical professionals for being our ‘Avengers’.”

“The world called and they responded. We salute our frontline warriors.”
