Even UK show us dead bodies those times, they was barely space to bury people but please make una country try show us some people wey don die

Channels, Arise and TV News shows us live the patients for Isolation centre and those on oxygen. They even interviewed some of those recovering. Maybe you missed it. Please don't misinform others with false information. I know people directly who have died from it. Thank God for giving you good health and stay safe.

BENEAMATA:
right boss man .
And their jingo then , it goes ; " radio Nigeria 2 , am , fm stereo. . ."
And those names , gosh , those seasoned broadcasters, now you naptu sir , is a living nigeria encyclopedia that the nairaland forum is blessed to have .you know i've known this late thespian for so long and never connected the name to the radio Nigeria's Jim Lawson of RN network news ! Always starts and end the news broadcast with the calming serene manner he drops his names , as in " I am Jim, Lawson " think the third name " maduekwe " was added to it about five years after , I may be wrong .
Rest in the bossom of the Lord.

His name is 'Maduike' and NOT Maduekwe. Yes he was a famous newscaster on Radio Nigeria in the 80's and 90's. The good old days. Others include Sunny Irabor, Bisi Olatilo, Mani Onumonu, Zakari Mohammed, Veronica Osawe, Evelyn Russell. I missed those great men and women on Radio. While some of them are gone, a few are still alive.

NORSIYK:
Rip. It's been long I saw him on the screen.
He's surname is actually Madueke not Maduike

Maduike not Madueke. Please don't change his name.
He was a famous broadcaster on Radio Nigeria he usually read Network News before veering into Nollywood.

COViD-19 is real but not deadly, also they are inflating the numbers to achieve there personal aim
Like if you agree with me

They are not inflating the numbers. 1544 out of a population of over 200 million? The number should be far higher than that. Our saving grace is that fatality is low.

I Need Your Opinion On This Issue That's Threatening My Relationship

My fiance wanted to come to the house to see my mum but I told him I won't be around because I'm about heading out to somewhere, so he asked me if my mum would be around, then I said yes and he said he would still go to see her and it doesn't matter if I'm not around.

When I later got home that night, my mum complained that he came empty handed. He didn't bring anything for her and she was the one who offered him her drink.

Although initially, I didn't see anything wrong with that but when my mum expressed her displeasure, I later called him to ask why he came to the house empty handed then I let him know I wasn't happy with him, that it would have been better if he didn't come. He tried arguing with me but I hung up.

Since then, we haven't spoken to each other nor visited each other. Was I wrong?

It seems your mum is materialistic an overbearing.

My brother, escape for your life

SirWarlock:
i get your point but it's pretty much the same thing. I mean we didn't do anything special really when the cases started dropping and now for some reason they're going up again. Now some states just record occasionally and they call this a second wave . Maybe for the top 6 states sha. Here it has always been if you're lucky you won't catch, if you aren't you will, no matter how much you try to protect yourself well except you're buhari .

1. Do some research on the mutation of viruses.
2. Visit LUTH or IDH Yaba

saintruky:
Every death don become covid related... Wetin happen to "brief illness"... Covid don bench am oooo

Were people dying at this rate before now?

Swiftlee:
I have always wondered by States like Zamfara, Kano and Katsina with very cold weather this period and high population have low, I mean very low figures when compared to other hotter states. If COVID 19 spreads as a result of Colder Temperature, Population and Contacts.

Remember, this is not to dispute the fact that Covid does not spread in warmer weather. I'm just curious

They simply are not doing enough testing. Secondly, more people come into Lagos from other developed countries via the International airport where the disease is pervasive. Thirdly, Lagos has the highest population density in the country. Lagos has the smallest land mass but the highest population so everywhere is congested. Fourthly, they are battling insecurity in the north such that the lives lost there daily are much compared to Covid-19 cases and they easily accept such deaths as an act of God.

AreaFada2:
The plebs will never listen. They are too busy blaming the better off.

Instead of working hard to navigate the system like many rags to comfort and rags to riches people do, they are busy hating and looking to blow overnight.

Their disregard for empirical evidence is one reason they cannot truly see what works and what doesn't to progress in life.

You're very correct. I don't know why it's difficult to believe. Channels TV showed Covid-19 patients at the isolation centres at the weekend, Arise TV showed Covid-19 patients this morning. Arise TV went ahead to interview the stable patients. What other evidence do people need to believe that COVID-19 is real in Nigeria. No wonder in the story of Lazarus in the bible, Abraham didn't grant the rich man's request of sending dead prophets to preach to his brothers.

ManOfCompetence:
It's important we all stay safe.....But the way covid 19 avoids poor people needs to be investigated

Poor people rarely go to hospital and often die of unknown causes. In the past 6 months close I know more than 5 people have died in my street. Some died while being rushed to hospital. Poor man's death is no news.

mrkings84:
Covid is real but the figures being dish out is LIES, Nigeria like copying bad things.....

Just because European, American countries are having a second spikes then they are rushing to dish out new figures.... That's LIES

The actual figures are far above that. Our saving grace is that more than 90% of people infected recover with minimal medical intervention. It's the unfortunate few that are severe are the ones mostly captured. Except the big men who go for testing frequently most of the masses don't go until their case gets severe.

benpuzzy:
One question that is still begging for answer is, does it mean the the PTF on covid-19 don't run test in Kogi State. Because i find it difficult to believe that Kogi State is with lesser cases.

The state government has refused to test. Infected cases can only be found by testing and not by assumptions.

superior1:
If you know the number of businesses that has gone down, the number of secondary death from the lockdown, you won’t be saying this.

Simple preventive measures like hand washing will not only prevent infection from COVID-19, but also other diseases. It is a refusal of most people to observe these guidelines that will lead to widespread infection and eventual lockdown. Simple compliance to Covid-19 protocols does not lead to closure of businesses. Many people shouting scam have lost relations to Covid-19 without knowing it. It costs little to observe these guidelines. Prevention is always better than cure. The Government gains nothing when you wash your hands or wear face mask.

Kamdil:
Why is there no covid -19 in Kogi, why only Lagos and other states ncdc were allowed to operate without monitoring have Covid patients?

Is it that the Covid jumped Kogi from Lagos,and entered Abuja.


Make una dey deceive una sef

The army general that died from COVID-19 complications died less than 2 weeks after burying the mother in Kogi. The simple reason is that they have refused to test and when people die, they accept it as an act of God.

humilitypays:
All those fools discouraging other Nigerians from migrating abroad are MAD people!

The last time I checked, Nigeria's first lady Aisha Buhari and her children have been out of Nigeria for over 5 months now.

Tinubu's children mostly live abroad and only come back to Nigeria to milk the cow their father kept in the name of Lagos state.


Saraki children all live abroad.


Osinbajo's children are abroad.


Atiku Abubakar's children are abroad.


Almost all Nigerian senators, Governors and Ministers' children are all living abroad including popular Lagos agbero MC Oluomo's children, you can imagine that yet some fools keep telling unemployed, jobless Nigerians in Nigeria not to relocate but wait and die hungry, dejected in Nigeria, na Amadioha joined with Sango go fire all of una for there!




Please dear Nigerian youths, if you are not earning up to 250,000naira monthly income as a single person or 400,000naira as a married person, please if you see any legal opportunity to leave Nigeria to a better nation like Canada, US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, Korea, etc, please leave asap!!!


Nigeria and all West African or black nations can only get worst by the day, it is their destiny.


You can only work for your personal and family breakthrough, it is the saddest truth about black nations.


Which black nation on earth is doing well to give you hope that Nigeria will be better someday None!


Go and check, black nations with less than 5million population and massive crude oil resources are struggling to exist, take Gabon and Equatorial Guinea for example. But take a look at Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, etc that have the same crude oil these small black African nations have, check their level of development and compare.


Black Africans blame European Colonial Masters for their failure to develop their nations, but they forgot that Hong Kong was also colonised by Britain. What about Singapore, Canada that was shared between Britain, France and Belgium


Black Africans are shameless people. It hurts me a lot that I am one of them because I know I was designed to be a pure Caucasian but mistakenly landed in Nigeria


How can someone like Buhari be my President and someone like Liar Mohammed be my Minister of Information, how


Just take a look at the crop of individuals representing smart Nigerians as government officials making critical policies that decide the fate and future of over 200million people Are they supposed to even head their various family meetings in a sane nation to talk of becoming federal
government officials

You nailed it. It's almost a hopeless case.

Not Everyone has a Destiny outside the Countey.

Seek the Face of GOD to know where your Package is. Else you travel out and the Hawker at Home is better than you are..

Very true. You are on point. I have an uncle who achieved almost nothing for the 45 years while his secondary school classmate became a two term Governor and a serving senator. His professional colleagues who remained are the Big boys and TV owners in the media. So everyone's destiny is not the same. I totally agree with you.

Nairalandian:
Some parents just like giving yeye names.
Back then, there was this my classmate who was named Overcomer .

Overcomer has a positive connotation. It means same thing as victor. Such names are often given from challenges the parents went through during pregnancy and delivery. Although, some parents go to the extreme to give terrible names

Stone123:
It’s well! No panic, 90K since Covid started for Naija while UK had ~55K for today only. The only issue is that Naija cases have no trend, NCDC just de dish out numbers as they wish.


I see this FTC coming! From Glory to greater Glory in 2021! Wemove

The reason Naija cases have no trend is that many of the states are not testing apart from Lagos, Abuja and 2 or 3 other states. Many other states occasionally test few samples which will not show a trend. If you need a trend, isolate Lagos and Abuja and study the trend.

Not just December salary. FG is still owing lecturers 4 months salaries. I just wonder why this Government is so deceitful and dishonorable.

Prof. Ibidapo One former Unilag VC is the latest to die from today from COVID-19 complications

Angelmichael63:
so how many BURIAL have been conducted by winners chapel after Shiloh because I have not heard of any and the fact remains that they were thousands of vulnerable people at Shiloh 2020

As I have always maintained only a minute fraction of those infected eventually die from the disease in Nigeria (< 5%). Worse still cause of most deaths in Nigeria is unknown due to various reasons. While I may not be in a position to verify the authenticity the story, we can't just discredit the post. We should avoid being overly subjective in our reasoning or living in denial when such issues are raised.

Angelmichael63:
PEOPLE CAN DO ANYTHING FOR ATTENTION


IF COVID 19 KILLED YOUR MUM AFTER SHILOH, BY NOW DEATH BODY WOULD HAVE BEEN EVERYWHERE ALL OVER NIGERIA BECAUSE OF SHILOH NOW AND MASSIVE BURIAL IN WINNERS CHURCH ALL OVER NIGERIA NOW, BUT THE LAST TIME I CHECK WINNERS FAMILY ARE DOING GREAT ALL OVER THE WORLD AFTER SHILOH SO................





THINK ABOUT THIS AGAIN ....

While it may be difficult to verify the authenticity of the story, the fact remains that COVID-19 kills the most vulnerable. It's not possible for everyone who attended the program to die from COVID-19 Haha!!!

chatinent:
Did anyone notice any of the two things I'll list below?


1. During EndSars protest, the virus seemed to go on holiday upon the millions of people who always gathered 24/7.




2. Why is it that when the number of cases arises, the number of the releases arises too, and vice versa?

As the number of cases rise the number of discharges also rise as most cases are probably mild

You promised to solve the problems. You were not elected to raise your hands in despair and blame others.

One death too many. May his soul rest in peace

Senator Buruji Kashamu, Gen Domkat Bali, Dan Foster, Chico Ejiro etc.

Make I die if them dey correct

That's a terrible prayer you a making for yourself. May God not allow it to happen.

Opinion: NIPC, Kogi Overtook Lagos Because Yahaya Bello Refused To Lockdown

Covid-19 Lockdown: Kogi Overtakes Lagos in Investments, NIPC

Do you remember when Governor Yahaya Bello said this in May 2020?

"If basic livelihoods cannot be sustained, poor people will prefer the loitery of infections over the certainty of starvation"

Do you also remember when Governor Yahaya Bello said this in June 2020?

"Why lockdown our economy over a disease that has 99.9% recovery rate? The effects of lockdown on the country far supersedes the gain".

Fast forward to this day, December 2020, the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) has just reported that Kogi state has overtaken all states in the Federation including Lagos, to become Nigeria's top Investments destination for the third quarter of year 2020.

Recall that earlier this year, all states in Nigeria locked down their economies and closed businesses causing a drastic fall in IGR, unemployment and total economic shut down, with the 2nd recession in 5years and worst in over 30years.

Kogi State was the only state that didn't experience Lockdown.

What is the story today?
Kogi has moved from a middle position to become first amongst all states in Nigeria as the number one investment hub.

The drop in Investments across other states has been attributed to the impact of COVID-19 and its global economic impact.

So, Yahaya Bello allowed Kogi's economy to continue to flow and refused to lockdown. But other states allowed lockdown and Kogi has overtaken everybody in investments

The Commission publishes NIPC Intelligence Newsletter 6 days a week, and through it, a total of 13 projects across 8 states were tracked. 3 of the investment announcements were start-up enterprises in health care delivery, and information and communication technology (software development).

Kogi State received the largest share of the investments announced with US$1 billion, followed by Lagos State with US$239 million, Ogun State with US$75 million and Cross Rivers State with US$15 million.

On a sector basis, the top destinations were the transportation sector which received (66%), manufacturing (27%) while information and communication, and mining and quarrying received 3% and 2% respectively. Other sectors, agriculture, and human health and social services collectively accounted for the remaining 2%.

NIPC’s Intelligence Newsletter publishes Nigerian investment-related news culled, from various sources. It is also reported that there is a 57% fall in these Investments across the country compared with the 2019 report.
While for Kogi, it is an incredibly increase in Investments.

Gov. Yahaya Bello predicted the downfall of our economy with the lockdown imposed, now it's obvious what he warned Nigerians about.

The Report gives a sense of investors’ interest in the Nigerian economy. NIPC did not independently verify the authenticity of the investment announcements but is working on tracking the announcements as they progress to actual investments.

Half-truth. While I agree that we have some terribly poor graduates, many are not as bad as he has painted. Primary and Secondary school education are the most important and critical levels of education. Because the foundations at these levels are very faulty, there's little that can be corrected at the University level. Especially with the level of examinations malpractices that go on in WAEC, NECO and JAMB exams, there's little the Universities can do. University education anywhere in the world is hinged on independent study with the lecturers being facilitators of knowledge. It is not the duty of an Engineering Thermodynamics lecturer to teach his students how to write letters. The truth is that Universities are not meant for everyone. That's why we have technical colleges, Polytechnics and Colleges of education. But in Nigeria everyone wants to be called a university graduate. A 300 level student wrote a formal letter and didn't even know where to sign.
Various stakeholders in the education sector share their own part of the blame. We need to de-emphasize on certificates and focus more on capacity.

The coaches are complicit. They should be able to identify those above 17 before MRI screening with minimal error. The quest to succeed by all means is killing football development. They should go to secondary schools round the country and get players within the age limits and stop deceiving themselves. How can an NPFL player be under-17?
