Don't even know what to say. The order is too authoritative and those returnees self no dey help matter. Do they deserve to die while trying to escape? Just confused

Ustec:

And in a week time he was tested negative.

You guys want to start misinforming the citizens with this your rubbish information.

I don't think you read the post at all before pouring out stupid statement. You chose to believe whatever you want.

COVID-19: Benue index case cries to Buhari, British govt to rescue her from Ortom

By Yemi Itodo

A 54-year old Susan Okpe, who was said to be the Benue index case of Corona Virus, has cried on President Muhammad Buhari of Nigeria and the British Government, to evacuate her from Benue state.

Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom had on Saturday, 28th March, announced that Mrs. Okpe was the Benue's first recorded case of Corona Virus, also known as COVID-19.

Mrs. Okpe, a British Nigerian, arrived the country on Saturday, 21st March via Kenya Airway, for the burial of her mother slated to hold early next month.

According to a family source, Mrs. Okpe ran series of tests before leaving the United Kingdom with all results showing negative to COVID-19.

"When she arrived Benue State on the 23rd of March, she was running temperature, perhaps, due to the fatigue of traveling, an experienced Doctor was contacted and tests were conducted and she was being treated for malaria and typhoid.

"When the NCDC contacted me, on the invitation of the Benue State government, I gave my consent that she should be tested. But as I speak with you, none of us has seen the test result, not even the Medical Director of the Cottage Hospital who assisted the NCDC to get samples, has seen the result. We only got to see through the television where the Governor announced her name", the source hinted our reporter.

Meanwhile, in a message sent via WhatsApp to our reporter, Mrs. Okpe appealed to the Federal Government and the UK Government to move her out of Benue State.

"I have kept my cool, but am now sick with swollen gums, being stooling throughout the night, no nurses or medical attention. My crime is that am a British who came into Nigeria, particularly Benue State; felt feverish, took myself for check up because I have travelled longer than usual.

"After examinations, I was told by the doctor my temperature was high and I said keep me for observations as I did not experience any before I left London, passed from Lagos to Abuja my temperature was like any other passenger was being monitored by the authorities.

"Back to my self presentation and request for isolation which was done, I was told by the doctors that the standard procedure was to call for a test from the state ministry of health of which two gentle men came to do a throat and nose swoop.

"After two days, by now my temperature has normalised from 38:2 to 36:4 the record are there to be verified. Only to be told by the Doctor after asking why am I still kept in the hospital, a friend now came in to tell me that a press conference is being done with my name that I have Covid-19, on air, on social media, without my knowledge.

"I went mad as a human being and demanded to see the Medical Director who told me he was fighting for me; how, why and for what and with who I don’t understand, still fuming the next thing was armed men, ambulance and a siege round the hospital for me to be removed for what I don’t know.

"As someone who knows the principles of the law (weather it works in Nigeria or not I can’t tell), I said I was not moving without a reason, I was surrounded and to stop the embarrassment to my family and poor junior sister who I think is not fair on, I went down to speak with the Deputy Governor for thirty minutes and he assured me I was safe, will be cared for, though not sick with any symptoms, also that the following day the health commissioner and medical doctors from the state will come and see me.

"I told him that if the state is insisting that am ill I should be taken to Abuja to be tested, I have never in my life seen a staged played drama with human life and politics like this before, I want the world, Nigerians, Benue state to hear my side and verify am not a Covid-19 positive, left my children behind in London they are healthy till this moment", Mrs. Okpe cried out.

She pleaded with the authorities concerned to take her to any standard center and verify her claims, as there was no single facility in Benue to even handle or manage any case, should it be true that Benue had a case.

Already, our reporter gathered that, the Consulate General of the UK in Nigeria had been contacted by Mrs. Okpe, whose fundamental rights have been grossly breached and arrangements were underway to get the Presidency to help the British Embassy evacuate her citizen from Benue State, before it results to death.

I just hope Kola Ologbondiyan won't kill the president

They should just kill him instantly. He doesn't like his followers

Africans and religion

MelesZenawi:
So Tinubu wrote all this?

When did he got educated to this extent?

Was it when he was driving taxi in America or when he declared persona non grata in America?

Your comment suggests that you have neither read his post or listen to his speech before . Politics aside, he's well educated.

84 new cases in Oyo?

Okay.....

Seriously, Nigeria needs political and economy revolution. Our politicians are no where to be found now.

Haaa....27 persons. Like play like play, 9ija don dey enter am.

Cheeryfeet:
no it's the government that is stupid. Why didn't they quarantine them at the entry point. Why give them access, now they are chasing shadows

Though I agreed with you that Nigeria govt wasn't prepared enough, but some of them didn't show any sign of symptoms at the entry point until they spent some days in 9ija.

Most returnees are stupid. .....just like a case in Osun state.

This man always make sense though may not be realistic for FG..

I thought akwa ibom state was forming before. ...

@OP....Pls take it easy oooooo. God beyonds ur imagination

When federal government came about closing down schools and religion places, many people as a way of contradicting federal govt directive, frequently ask: WHAT ABOUT THE MARKET PLACES?

Looking at it close, the virus can be spread/contracted in both places but the question is...
Which place has the greater avenue to spread the virus?.......is it market places or religious centres?

Please let be logical with our grounds and conclusions.

What a dogmatic and gullible followers, do anyone needs to tell them before avoiding gathering of people? ..... blind people.

Ctorch:
The high rate of convid-19 cases emanating from South West states are mind buggling. Stringent measures should be put in place to ensure safety of other Nigerians in Nigeria.

If the country is working perfectly fine, any travellers from any of the south west states to any part of Nigeria should seriously be examined at point of entry and profiled accordingly. This is more reasons states should have a walled border to condone off certain dangerous occurrence if case such arises.

Someone has convid-19 for over 2 weeks and nobody knows which means he has spread the virus to another 100 persons.

Other states fighting this deadly virus should put structures in place to check any traveller coming from west to any part of Nigeria.

The cases are high there.

Some people will just open their mouth and start coughing coronavirus out. Did the virus originate from the west?

Why....gov't should let them go nah. When they no go, who dey help?

Do they need to stop the selling of generator before we experience stable power supply?

Iran killing style loading on shekau....

#2500 for the form
#500 for bank charges
everything =#3000

#osunjob

Going to China from Nigeria and coming to Nigeria is dangerous at this point in time........I think this guys should choose to stay in one place until this virus issue is resolved.

To go and do what?

Old pictures. .....the pics don tey

FuckThaMod:
Do these criminals think this is a joke? The world's most populous black nation is about to be wiped off and this fool is still lying. I've been coughing since morning and I'm scared, I've never felt this way in my entire life. I also have fever, i don't want to die, someone please!

Pls visit the nearest hospital. .....

Your topic should have been : the rate of divorce in Abuja or divorce rate in Abuja.

What else do we need to hear from him? .....we are still battling with the problem he created
