Where's this? Havana Undisclosed location, Cuba?

I'll go straight to the point: I reside in a Northwestern state in Nigeria where things are quite cheap, and no lockdown is effectively in place yet.

However, a bag of satchet water which I bought for #120 just two days ago sold for #150 today.

So how has this pandemic affected prices in your locality, most especially those residing in places on lockdown?


Lalasticlala, dominique, mynd44, ishilove (where've you been sef?) etc.

The plot thickens...

Lol see mad man. Na airtime people go chop?

People sabi lie sha.

I can bet my pinkie that the instrument might be what prompted the marriage in the first place.

All those aunties way day find who go shift their womb abi na uterus abi na cervix sef.

Baba. I no get time for this your "Turenchi"
If you have small change, buy mask, hand sanitizer and gloves and donate to poor people in your neighbourhood.
If you don't have, remain indoors, STFU and find a way of being useful to yourself and your family.
All these over sabi Na him make we still dey import tissue paper and petrol.

I would assume this is your attempt at a withering joke?

You're really a clown at midnight.

From intellectual discussion, una con turn am into a competition of who has more grammar in their arsenal and a relay race of metaphors.


I can bet none of una go fit express all the dictionary worda wey una dey type above.

You'd rather have us conduct the discourse in pidgin yeah?

Your submission speaks volumes. Just read more. You too can attain a rich diction.

there's no doubt about the tremendous change the world have experienced these past few weeks as a result of this global pandemic. I guess no one saw it coming. not even the greats of countries were prepared for it... the outbreak could probably be a ploy of a greater conspiracy, or could have been a bioresearch accident or just a natural disaster. what ever the case may be, it's revealed how helpless our country Nigeria is (God Help Us) when it comes to our medical and technological sector...we virtually are dependent on every damn thing... I hope the next set of leaders (maybe I've lost faith in the current ones) we vote in would be visionary and willing to take us to greater level where we could pride ourselves as a nation capable of proffering solutions too to world problems if situations arises....

BTW it's probably not the end of world but maybe the begin of a New Era/Regime/Rule//Discourse..whatever you name it

This was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, sir. Lol.

You captured exactly what I submitted. It seems the new breed of Nlanders have collective incomprehension.

mad!

By the time you test them, they would have recovered .

The plot thickens...

As much I've gotta admit that this is creepy, as there's no love lost between me and snakes; nevertheless this is beautiful. Won't mind having one as a pet.

Lalasticlala abeg distract us from COVIK ONE-NINE small...

A 12-year-old girl confirmed infected with COVID-19 has died in Belgium, health officials said Tuesday.
Fatality at such a young age “is a very rare occurrence,” said government spokesman Dr Emmanuel Andre, adding that her death “shook us”.

The girl had had a fever for three days before her death, and tested positive for COVID-19, said another spokesman, Steven Van Gucht.

No other details were given about her case, including whether she had any other underlying health problems.

It was the first death of a child in the coronavirus crisis in Belgium, which has now recorded a total of 705 deaths from the disease it causes, according to the latest official toll.

Last week, France reported the death of a 16-year-old girl from coronavirus in the greater Paris region.

Although serious COVID-19 infections are uncommon among the young, some exceptional cases have been taken to hospital intensive-care wards, as US health authorities have pointed out.

Belgium’s toll on Tuesday represented a jump of nearly 200 fatalities from that given the previous day, which stood at 513.

It comprised 98 deaths recorded in the preceding 24-hour period, plus another 94 deaths over previous days but which had not been counted in the national tally, Andre said.

The small EU country, with a population of 11.4 million, now has 12,775 cases of persons tested positive for COVID-19, of whom 4,920 have been hospitalised, including 1,021 in intensive care.

Hospitals in Brussels and in two provinces, in the north and the west, are now confronted with “a more complicated situation” as beds fill up, Andre said.
SR.

The bolded is what should interest (and highly alarm any right-thinking Nigerian. How many are we again? Easily 200 million plus. How many tests have we conducted? Easily under 1000.

Stay at home people, stay at home. If you must go out protect yourself. Our country has failed us.

I guess she was one of those inevitable exceptions to the rule.

All those blaming DSTV are ignorant. Who put such measures in place that made it easy for them to operate in such blatant disregard of existing laws?

That made them flout all establisbed principles of cable broadcasting?

That enabled them offer services highly non commensurate with their cut-throat prices?

That made them immune from implementing Corporate Social Responsibility to their host environment as is the norm for such multinationals?


By the way sef Nigeria has still <200 cases, so maybe dem dey wait till the number increase substantially before dem contribute.

Public HEalth wont be same again. Governments will allocate more funds to healthcare and try at least to make sure everyone gets access to primary health care.

Online start-ups like Zoom would have more shares in the new york stock exchange

Primary health care givers would be better appreciated and artificial intelligence modelling of future pandemics would be given more focus...and thats it!

Humanity will go as it has always been . Check your history boks and point out any significant change in Human interactions that occur after each pandemic.

If you knew, as one who seems to have checked his history books, that such pandemics and ensuing societal upheavals are inevitably necessary for humans to evolve, then you'd observe that your submission basically contradicts itself.

I really dont know what you guys gain from Milking Crisis?

If you where born in 1918 when the Spanish Flu snuffed 50Million people, i guess you would be telling people to wear sack clothes and sprinkle ashes. Or better still spring stories about a New World Order by the CIA them.

Stop all these conjectures and Chill. Educate yourself more and spread the knowledge and not wreck fears into People.

dont milk the situation!


Oh please, this is not a stimulating discuss. It is a dance macabre of the near senile and the "Snake oil" selling alarmist

Oh, so you had to add the bolded (and in the process make a pitiful pun out of my moniker) to perhaps buttress your pretensions at pseudo-intellectualism?

You're a clown.

flexyrule:
Stimulating discourse indeed! Scientists are working round the clock to discover the cure for the epidemic and you're here blowing big big grammar. China - a Chinese speaking nation can produce/are producing almost everything for the world. Their USD Millionaire entrepreneurs can hardly construct a good English sentence, but can produce almost anything you ask of them.
Instead of going into the bush (like your forefathers did), look for herbs, conjure them and try them and see if anything positive can come out, you opened a thread where and your fellow English Professors would blow grammar that won't change anything.
MODs, please if we can't offer anything meaningful to the fight against this monster, let's not distract those making meaningful efforts with threads like this.

I see the term 'intellectual discourse' irks you. Can we conjecture that it's because yours is sub-par?

So in your 'meaningful efforts to fight this monster', how many herbs have you discovered so far?

You call this milking a crisis. Okay, let me ask you a simple question: if the world finally conquers the virus, how soon do you think it will take things to return to the status quo ante?

Can't this be tantamount to the end of an era?

nairapark:
Popular cleric and seer, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele of the Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church with headquarters in Oke-afa, Lagos has dismmised Sunday’s address by President Mohammadu Buhari as falling far below expectations from the Nigerian masses.

The cleric who had predicted the emergence of Covid 19 pandemic March, 2019 in his yearly book of prophecies, 2019/2020 edition, said that what the masses or common Nigerians had long waited for from their President, is :”something concrete as a palliative and great soothing balm, not some vague promises that leaves no hope for the Proles.”

Speaking with newsmen on Tuesday on the speech by the President, he said: “millions of Nigerians are suffering, all that the President is saying is about school feeding for children who have since been barred from school. He was also talking about Npower and conditional cash transfer, and I ask, how many poor Nigerians have been registered in such scheme. The President doesn’t seem to be in touch with the realities of the Nigerians masses and it is so disappointing.

” More disappointing is the fact that the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) are not speaking the truth to power.”

The cleric also dropped a bombshell saying every so called big men who have stolen the wealth of the nation will be hit with the virus.

He also warned that over 25,000 Nigerians will be hit with the Covid pandemic should government relent in its efforts to curb the deadly disease.

Primate Ayodele who also announced that he has prepared 10,000 annointed bottles of water and oil which he assured will cure and prevent Covid 19, declared that he will be giving the spiritual cure and prevention to Nigerians and anyone free of charge!.

The prophet said: “Mark my words! This pandemic called Covid 19 will soon pass away as the Lord has revealed to us. We had said it that it will come as reports in the dailies and online from March , 2019 have shown.

“Covid 19 will hit those who have emptied the nation’s treasury for their personal and greedy comfort. We are seeing some signs already. The government’s effort in tackling the virus has been highly commendable but they should not discourage prayers because medicine has failed us, world leaders have also failed us. This time we must turn to God. 20,000 to 25,000 Nigerians may be hit if care is not taken to urgently curb it.

“Gathering of the people of God to pray shouldn’t be discouraged but number of such should be reduced. “.

Primate Ayodele’s bombshell is coming on the heels of the astounding fulfilment of his prophecies for 2020 which recent developments across the world have revealed.

At least 40 predictions of the cleric as listed in his annual book of prophecies of the 2019-2020, have been fulfilled. The developments included among others, the Ukrainian Plane crash, gas explosions in Ebonyi, Kaduna and Lagos, Boko Haram Killing soldiers and attack on Christians, Iran – Us War, UBA sack of 4000 staff, Increase in energy tariff, Fire outbreak at the mortuary, The death of chairman, lkosi isheri LCDA – Engr Abdufatai Oyesanya

and NURTW losing their Vice chairman and the fight and crisis within the factions.

Others are his warning to pray against death in Aso Villa, as revealed in the case of Assistant Director to the State House, Abuja, Laetitia Naankang Dagan, Lassa fever killing 14 on Ondo and kano, the Amotekun crisis, removal of Governor Emeka in Imo State governor by supreme court and the current Global Economic Crises.

Primate Ayodele’s prophecies also include death of Former Kenya President, Nigerian musician and the footballer who is the Remo star player, Nassarawa FC player and Rangers striker.

The cleric had also predicted the disgraceful dethronement of the Emir of Kano, Sanusi O. Sanusi and an Eze in Igboland, death of Kayode Dosumu, a Nollywood star.

He equally predicted the Abule Ado explosion in Lagos, recurrence of Ebola in some African countries and Nigeria, the crises in Buckingham palace and strange occurrences that a engulfed the place, another recession in Nigeria as well as the confussion in CBN.

It was the same Ayodele who predicted the Bank recapitalisation, inability of some states to pay 30,000 minimum wage, Oil Price Crash, Donald Trump Impeachment Survival, Oshiomole’s travails in APC, Keystone building collapsing

and the bank having another CEO.

The prophet said Obaseki and Akeredolu will face challenges for second term in Edo and Ondo.

The reaffirmation of PDP governor in Bayelsa was predicted by him as well as others which included the Asian pandemic disease and mentioning China specifically, Aviation sector losing money, High increase in Transport fare, South Sudan Prime minister escaping assassination, President Buhari having health issues, Some Nigerian Governors having problem with their health, PDP’s victory in Zamfara State, a new queen/king in UK and the Cameroonian president that slumped. He has said that there may be a new Pope in 2021.

During one of his services in his church at the Lagos headquarters last year, which was covered by the Reporter, Primate Ayodele had urged members of the church to pray against a certain pandemic which would bring the world to her knees. He ordered two months fasting and prayers for his church members and told newsmen to urge the world to pray.

Some of the members who spoke with newsmen have testified that they could not have Covid 19 because of the prayers and because they have the water and oil by the cleric.

However, the members have reacted to some reports on the social media which claimed that he made some unfulfilled predictions. They said the cleric had never said that PDP will win the last Presidential poll, that he has won the party to choose former Senate President Bukola Saraki instead of Atiku Abubakar.

Several reports by the Reporter confirm the members’ denial.

Primate Ayodele who also counseled some world leaders, particularly, Cote D’ivoire. He dropped three names; Amadou Gon coulibaly, Gbagbo and Guillaume soro as possible future leaders of the country.

This is why you should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity, and gullibility, if I may add.

Truth be told, I've never been panicky over the virus itself. What I've been apprehensive about is the current economic fallout, viz. economies nosediving, food scarcity and shortage, restricted movement, etc.

And in a country like ours, well, this spells disaster.

Yeah, the same way your U.S Presidential Elections prophecy calculated guess was misunderstood after it flopped, of course.

Oga, stick to selling anointed water and 'exorcising' demons and 'healing' AIDS patients.

Trust me, these figures are overwhelmingly conservative.

Both Lagos and Abuja have at least tenfold of those numbers quoted.

We have this figure and we haven't even conducted up to 500 tests nationwide. Other countries are counting tests in tens of thousands.


Just protect yourself.


P.S. for those interested in intellectual discourse, here's a thread I created weeks ago, but the mods are seemingly averse to such...

https://www.nairaland.com/5729962/coronavirus-end-world-know-it


Be open minded though...it's not meant to be religious, though I can ruefully say that my predictions were spot on.

Bloggers...a special place awaits y'all in hell.

Where Korofo You no fit guard your pikin

Now, if I were a conspiracy theorist, I'll hazard a guess that this is a bid to begin to unravel the supposed infallibility of God.

Next Step...since all religious centres in the world are of the present locked down, it might gravitate towards at least, keeping them so for the foreseeable future.

Next Step...Tbc.

For an instant I thought it was our own Seun Osewa.

Bloggers dey try. Even if their work thrives on sometimes outright falsehoods, they redeem that Achilles's heel by the seemingly innocuous, but otherwise pernicious use of clickbait.

Now bloggers are not the dregs however. It is us, the passive yet undeterred voyeurs who troop in deluges to witness the downfall of fellow beings.


Our collective schadenfreude, innate, latent in some but pronounced in others, is what this group of carrion birds parading as bloggers feed on.

We're a lost generation indeed, to borrow from Mme Gertrude Stein.
