All this is caused by a lack of an all encompassing plan or strategy to combat Covid 19.

From where I stand you begin to get the air that the goverment thought this thing will be done and dusted in record time with little effect on the present healthcare infrastructure.

They probably thought it will be like ebola whereby a committee could resource the whole project over a period of a few weeks, but if they had studied what had hapoened in China and compared the depth of capacity to what we have in Nigeria, they will have quickly realised that this pandemic will need the mobilisation of thousands of healthcare professionals and hundreds of locations.

Unfortunately till now the scenario persists. We are fighting Covid 19 with not just one hand tied behind our backs but with just two fingers and a thumb. If the entire healthcare system is not MOBILISED against Covid 19, primary, tertiary, public, private, we are going to see what we have never seen before.

Covid is now at the grassroots. People are walking into their GP's unknowingly with the virus with devastating effects.

Bro if you ask me they knew fully well what was gonna happen, or maybe they believed in the 'COVID doesn't thrive in hot environments' or whatever. But now they're just looting against the ensuing financial depression if the status quo persists.

Okoroawusa:
The same way with the Yoruba. To the Yoruba if you r not Hausa then you are Igbo.

Don't mind that one. After his boss GEJ supported APC in the last Bayelsa election Reno said he was quiting politics. Inconsistent ewu

Za kwantri just get as e be.

May what happen to that man befall you, so that you may understand.

Your type is the reason Africa is a cemetry

Just like that I thought you were reasonable all this while.

gypsey:
Absolutely! but like the man explained why did they felt okay and the fear of covid 19 disappeared suddenlly immedeatly the patients died?

I don't quite get your drift sir.

Jaqenhghar:
Someone mentioned here that it was after she died they brought out PPE. Bros this neglect did not start with COVID19. This is their attitude even with your money you are treated like shít. I used to try and reason like you till I witnessed their bullshit 1st hand. I dont pray you go through what some of us have had to go through. My experience is part of what made me relocate from that country. No way my wife or kids will go through that shít.

I can relate with you bro. It's funny that you seem to think I haven't had similar experiences. I'm just being positive. As it stands right now, our doctors are the only physical barrier between us and this pandemic. They deserve some slack.

This would have been an avoidable death in almost any other country than Nigeria before now, but virtually every country that has peaked has had to turn back its citizens at one point or the other.

Let's just mourn and move on. But I still insist, if there's anyone we're apportioning blame to, it's the government.

xpool:
While calling on Enugu state governor, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC), to urgently intervened on the matter, Mr. Alagbu, asked If indeed the case was a COVID-19 case, “how come there were no efforts put in place for sample collection even after death, what measures did the hospital put in place to safeguard the mortuary staff?, Why did it take the hospital hours to wear their PPE and attend to the patient? What is the hope of ordinary men in our Nigeria hospital today? How come the whole fear of COVID-19 disappeared as soon as the patient died? I am heart-wrecked because my wife died leaving behind four children, the eldest is 11 year old.

Be honest and straightforward in your thoght

This is a presumption that they had these PPE isn't it?

Jaqenhghar:
Did they wake up and become members of the government?
They were doctors first. This behaviour of lack of commitment to improving health services they exhibit started somewhere. A doctor who is not committed to his job and doesnt understand how important his job is will not fare any better if you make him a CMD or a minister for health. When from the beginning he joined the profession to become a millionaire now he is a minister what do you think he will do? Suddenly realise the importance of human lives?

Now we're broadening the scope too far. We're speaking of doctors refusing to attend to a patient exhibiting classic COVID 19 symptoms because they don't have PPE, supposed to be provided by the government. Mind you UNTH is a government-owned hospital.

If we're broadening the scope then we should do it to include the doctors who have been infected because they treated patients (some of whom lied about their medical history) with the virus.

Isn't it the same way the average SS/SE denizen classifies all those from Benue downwards as 'Hausa'

Reno too like talk.

xpool:
Stop covering up for them.
Government has its own blame, but not this.

They refused to make attempt at stabilizing a patient. As soon as she died, PPE came out from no where. If you know how many patients die by doctors and nurses nonchalance, inefficiency, negligence and stubbornness you won't say this.

In st Joseph maternity and FMC all in Asaba, I have heard of patients that just died by the negligence of medical workers

Is the bolded a fact sir?

As for insinuating I'm 'covering up for them', how so?

Tell me who wouldn't join in condemning them if they had PPE but refused to attend to her.

Jaqenhghar:
Like I always say. If the conditions dont favour You, quit the job. Go to UK.Go to the Canada. If Doctors quit en masse shey government will sit up.

2. Let's not be vague who are the "government" who does not provide them with equipment. Minister for health no be doctor? The CMDs who chop money is it not their fellow doctors? Like I pointed out in a post the person who said doctors should go to farm was it not a fellow doctor? The one who ignorantly said they should go if they want that we have enough doctors, is it not their fellow doctor?

Then why must we tax payers suffer becaise their colleagues are fùcking Up?

They wont address the problem where it is but it is to punish innocent people. Same as the soldiers and police

Sir I think you should understand that these 'colleagues' of theirs you mentioned are full-fledged members of the government in power.

It's just like those Benue doctors that were sacked. Wasn't it a 'colleague' of theirs who sacked them too?

Afenifere go soon deny the guy now.

To be honest this is a rather counterproductive measure.

Why not just ban the individual journalist/s who infringed on whatever anti-free speech laws existing in your state, than banning the whole publication?

Who is/are 'we' in this narrative

Government for use money wey dem take pay these greedy people do handout na.

Wetin go do that J-Boy Louis Vuitton bag now

Hard man hard man end inside gutter.

This one wey baggers come dey use their hand OVB demsef, at least KK and Aiyes go rest small.

The one for right don weak finish.

arinze198:
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspects were apprehended at NNPC/ Daleko Road, Ejigbo area of Lagos after they rubbed powder to disguise and carried cutlasses with the aim of cutting off victims’ hands if they did not see anything to steal from them.

Rubbed powder to disguise as what Egungun

Tragic.

To be candid though, I'd rather put the blame on the failed government than on the medical personnel. The behaviour of the medical personnel towards the man's wife is a fallout of the government's refusal to provide them with equipment for fighting this virus.

Nairaobserver:
The publication adds that it was later discovered that the robbers who were lynched were not members of the One Million Boys gang, but were hungry burglars.

So na only members of One Million Gang dem suppose lynch

I pity for the community wen dem dey escape go.

Africans get seeeeriooos issues.

For inside this lockdown

Not necessarily.

They can 'change' the mind of God, as with Hezekiah.

That doesn't mean Odumeje isn't a fake pastor tho...

Na im Bello dey threaten people mama with rape up and down

One of my Top 5 Nigerian MILFs any day any time.

Noticed.

Now crawl back to that hole.

Yenefer kenan.

Very reasonable submission.

I just hope tribalist e-warriors don't decide to mastvrbate on this thread.

BigTableShaker:
She gunboat dey harass motorist for road?!

The headline has been edited. It was without that claise I mentioned earlier.

SmartyPants:
The headline contains the key clause as you call it, so how can it still be called sensational?

It has been changed to reflect that.
