Nigeria had a buffer period few countries had. After our first case (the Italian), we had almost two weeks in which no other case was recorded. That was our buffer period. Also, within this period, the virus had fortunately taken a definite pattern, the global hotspots had already been revealed—China, Italy, Iran, Spain, UK, US and co. These were advantages very few countries had in this war against Covid-19, which any compos mentis nation would grab with both arms. But, alas, this is Nigeria.

We left our entry points open. Even Atiku pleaded on Twitter that our airports should be shut down. Some ignorant folks had already started commending this equally ignorant government.

Unfortunately, we recorded another case. Then another. And then another. Boom! 95% of our confirmed cases were of people who came in from THE HOSTSPOTS at a time this virus was raging!

Now, pray tell, has God not helped us enough, with all the advantages we had?

How the hell did the late Achimugu fly in FROM A HOTSPOT and didn't get quarantined!

This is almost a hopeless country. The leadership and followership are cold dead!

P.S.: To those who would say "you cannot just shut the airports down that way", I'd drop these posers:
- At a time the world was progressively shutting down, what could we have lost by shutting our doors?
- Yea, citizens have the right of ingress. But we could still shut our doors and allow citizens to come in but on the condition that they would surrender to a 15-day quarantine.
- What have we gained, aside joining the global Covid-19 map, from leaving our doors open?
- In a world where America is setting up a $1Tn package, Spain a $200bn package, and other countries having to appropriate billions of dollars in economic and social interventions, can the gains of leaving our doors open be compared to the cost we will bear for that decision? Our annual budget is just about $40bn, just to set a perspective.

You all are not ready.

Our president did not give orders to pick borders, I guess he would blame previous government

We were playing partisan politics

Humphrizy:
If you dey inside public transport and you sneeze or cough anyhow...then get ready to step down from the vehicle

By then such person would have deposited the stuff if he had it in his system, right now, things look gloomy

gimakon:
Define good Idea? Cows are now relevant than human lives ndeh? Where is your sense of decorum? If I talk now, you go arrogate am to APC and PDP.
We are in an Era of a Pandemic. this is march 2020, 2020 did not start on a good note with several bad news everywhere, Only God knows what would happen by December.

We started from Fulani herdsmen, then Bandits , Then Boko Haram killing christians , Now China wants a new world order at all cost and we have Corona virus, to deal with, where they would be stakeholders and we must buy the serum from them and the Kits else our lives are at stake. They say we have 20 cases, if care is not taken, we have more. Rather than solve the impending , Your president is registering cows! That money he would use to register those cows, why would he not channel it to see if he can solve this pandemic and make Nigeria a better place? Have you not heard we are almost useless to other nations in the world now? Nigerian Passport is amongst the weakest in the world, We are high risk immigration and high risk fraud nation. All these are problems we should channel our resources to - Not Cows!

You need to start thinking. This is not a welcome development, neither is it a good idea!

Nigerians would not hear, we worship the alaye them wey dey rub our community funds

Blue3k2:
The economy is taking because panic culture set in. Life is returning to normal in japan. The rest of the world is struggling because the didn't take rational steps like shutting borders and travel restrictions early. The best thing to do now is wash hands and avoid sick people. The Wu flu talk is honestly boring now. The meme are still nice.

In the video you posted, the speaker made two salient points

1. Close the borders and quarantine anyone showing symptoms or already contracted the disease
2. The media shooting up so much fear

But the fear itself might keep you alive Sha

Okoroawusa:
Look around you...

You are in the politics section

Ok, thanks

Okoroawusa:
What do you now wish for Atiku that was VP for 8 years? Many years before Buhari dreamed of becoming President. What did Atiku do to develop our healthcare system?

Did Nigeria become a country in 2015?

Mr Wisher...anu

So how did you manage to turn my statement into a political statement that involves previous administration, bros abeg I no fight you, I talk my own, at least I never offend you

I know say you Sabi yab ehn, me no fit match your wits, thanks for the mention

Goldencheese:
That's a lot but compared to the impact of the global oil market which has dipped our oil sales, govt needs to come up with ways to buffer the economy during this critical period until we tide over this pandemic.

Which government, the same one that could not improve our country even when all the conditions were favorable?

Our government is a waste oh

TOPCRUISE:
Lol! Atiku Abubakar wants me to pray for his son.

As in serious lol

But this time we have no choice though, I hate him as much as every other Nigerian, but in this particular case, infection to one is a possible infection to so many


when you live in a glass house, you don't throw stones

SavageResponse:
You people keep shouting "Close the airports and the borders".

I hope you know that your useless shithole country does not manufacture anything!

Wow, that's the reason we left our borders open?
Just so we can import manufactured items and all other things that might follow, in this perilous time, the other thing has been imported

Nigerians have forgotten their value, so if all the nations we import stuffs from where to breakdown now, we in Nigeria would not survive because we don't manufacture stuffs

Did our fore father's need to import from the other lands to survive before the whites invaded our lands?
How did they survive?
Do you understand the concept of survival?
Is imported cloths, cars, phone and the likes an important tool for survival?

This period we're in now is mostly to survive till the virus is either managed or wiped out, and we have up our survival for paltry reasons

InvertedHammer:
/
Gwagwalada Hospital?

Travel ban has forced everyone to stay and enjoy the health facilities they developed. He would have been flown abroad before. God works in a mysterious way. If Buhari catches it, he will be forced to be under the care of Nigerian doctors that he loathes and despises. London ain't gonna let him in. I hope billions in account will save them.

\

Even London is battling its own cases, every country is trying in their own capacity

And they purposely refused to develop our health care system or even develop anything at all please in the country, now we're all forced to eat from the food we all cooked, both rich and poor.

I don't know what I wish for buhari, but it's definitely not good things I wish for him

Jack500:
Useless politicians, Thank God corona doesn't differentiate and it is not a respecter of money or position.


If the lame duck in Aso rock has closed d airport 2 or 3 weeks ago, we wudn't have be in this mess

Nonsense.

Is the båstard even qualified to be called a lame duck?

Simply close border, they were playing with our lives, 200m lives were put to the test on some stuff excuse that made no sense

The annoying thing is some people (nairalanders) were supporting the idea of not closing the border giving is their own insensitive reason that if we shut borders, drugs and supplies would not come in, would we need to import drugs for a disease we don't even have

After this episode, we really need to do something about that bastard cos he would put us in more danger if given the same chance again and again

CanadaOrBust:
We are talking billionaires. He has maybe $200m, which is comparatively no money

Comparatively money you say?

Olboy you must be stinkingly rich to call 200m comparatively no money, even in naira equivalent, some families have never seen such amounts and might never see such in their lifetime

Abeg my papa no get that kind money even in naira, so no bother insult me cos most nairalanders usually resort to personal attacks

But the future if bright till we get there

For now, all hands should be on deck (even if nah 10k you get:not you per say ohh) to help fight this elephant in the room so it doesn't rid us all of life

donnie:
We don't accept this type of nonsense from white supremacists/ globalists.

Adam and Eve were black and the ancestors of the original pure human race. Cauccassians originated from the caucusus mountains where the Neanderthal remains were found.

Are you getting my point? (See Neanderthal pic below). The only race on Earth without the Neanderthal genes are the blacks from Africa. Every other race has traces of neanderthal genes in them.

No wonder Africans are different, but I wouldn't say we're different in a good way, what we see around says it in bad ways

buygala:
I wonder the purpose of all these studies which seek to force mankind into kinship with Monkeys

Hundreds of recordable and verifiable years before now till now, man's general features have not changed one bit...and Monkeys have remained monkeys...

so is it some sort of big bang that will take our features to the next level or what? ...because Evolution seems not to exist in the verifiable past but in a shadowy and unverifiable one..

Ehen, for the first time, someone spoke exactly what I had been pondering in mind, how can they be making findings about "unverifiable past" when we haven't evolved in the last 500years at all


That verifiable and unverifiable are the words my brain has been seeking to spill but no terms came to me till you said it, thanks

How sure are we that the info they feed us is even 1% true, how do we ascertain it's concreteness

CanadaOrBust:
Otedola has no money. U mean the other guy, what’s his name, the globacom guy

Otedola has no money, that's news to me ohh

nah audio money him get?
How you take know sef say him no get money?

Ogunkillbuhari:
Wetin I hate most for my life na procastination because I can't fathom why the angel wey suppose blow trumpet never do am. Chaos here and there.
I just dey vex for Nigerians wey dey fear coro like say we haven't been battling with terrible scenario immemorial, for a leak paper to show that 35 governor's and ministers has properties worth 142bn in Dubai shows how daft we are as a citizens, yes , you and I. For God sake, those holding us hostage aren't up to 1% of our population.

I dey vex I swear

You, me and every other person are not angry about what's happening in 9ja, we just pretend to be angry

Why did I say so?

If we are angry, we would have put our anger to good use, burn and kill all our political leaders that have run the country down and still oppress us even when nah we give them the power wey them hold like say nah their God given property

There is power in our numbers but we are not angry, we only wish we were there, we don't act so that when we get there we would do same and go Scot free like others, not actually realising that the bad situation bites us in the long run, wealth and power for only one man is transient, but common wealth is forever cos everyone stays wealthy, mind you; wealth is not having as much cars as Dino melaye the thief ohh

If you're angry, prove it and stop being a keyboard warrior, I'm a keyboard warrior like you too

After the Corona episode, we should organize and use our numbers, chase our oppressors on the streets, in their houses, destroy their houses, burn them in their sleep, then we would have made a statement, if you disagree, then we are both not angry because I can't actually imagine me killing a person, nah mouth I get

Derrinclay:
We have worst ,our leaders are worst than 100.5 magnitude volcanoes

Word...


But still on still, abeg make God no allow this earthquake thingy befall us ohh

Righteousness89:
I Expect one to hit New Zealand!!

In the Midst of this Pandemic, what A nation did is to Approve Abortion...

GOD ALMIGHTY is Watching all of us!!

Seriously...

Wow..

How did you bring yourself to approve in your heart that earthquake should hit a country, that's quite inhumane ohh

You believe you're without sins so God should punish others, just wow

buygala:
Avoiding the birth of people like you is the reason why they approved Abortion

If they don't approve it, people will do it illegally and likely under very risky circumstance in the hands of quacks

Now that it's legal, the Government can regulate it and ensure it is conducted in safe and hygienic conditions...

Try not to be silly Sir...or at least try not to display it in Public

The guy was just insensitive to the max, imagine wishing earthquake on another person sha

That's the height

In this hard times, Sha fine them and use it to sustain our economy against collapse due to obanikoro

bajosky:
Can you please expantiate on Less anointed pastors and More anointed ones ?

I was wondering

Humphrizy:
Wahala dey ooh...we gat zero managerial factor(s) in this country.

I just don't know wether we are moving forward or backwards in dx country...e go better e go better..things just dey get worse on a daily.

Who did we actually offend?

The country matter tire all of us

VivaDeAngelo:
Crooks..,when will they stop? They have ran the country aground yet they would not stop.

As in ehn, my head is even restless from all the looting, what's the point exactly of the looting, it gets to a state where you should grow some conscience or get tired of doing bad things nah

TOPCRUISE:
Some people who lack home training will still insult him as if he is the cause of coronavirus

But hope you know there was a chance the virus stayed outside the shores of this country if he had closed border from the get go, now we're having suspected cases springing up, we're in God's hands now

NaijaRoyalty:
Make dem shut down Nigeria

They had time to shut border but their stupidity did not allow them on the grounds that we shouldn't chase foreign support and investors even in three face of death, you can only live to do business tomorrow if you're healthy and alive today, but they chose foreign support and investors over our safety and well-being

Most annoying part was one lady on this nairaland defending the non closure of border that we would not survive if we close our own borders

Now we have to live with their choices

May God help us

[quote author=GamalNasser post=87616932][/quote]My good sir, I swear down I'm still in a confused state, reason for this is because italy is suffering seriously from the attack, so why don't they just administer chloroquine to every infected patient and everything goes back to normal or am I missing something here

No one wishes for the disappearance of the virus more than me right now ohh

Fingers crossed though, hoping for the best

Fiyin007:
The Minister of health confirmed the efficacy of chloroquine in-vitro( ie kills the virus outside the body). The clinical trials may just be the magic bullet needed

Kills the virus on the body as in on human body?, so what happens if it's inside the body already

USA and several other countries are still feeling the heat nah, so me I'm not understanding

I'm more available on nairaland these days cos I'm hoping to see a headline where the virus had been totally axed or disappeared

GamalNasser:
Chloroquine is actually effective against it but trials need to be concluded

I prefer to believe chloroquine being effective against the virus is more of hypothesis than fact

If it's that effective against the virus, things would have gone back to normal world over

But we know things are still shaky currently

ozoemenaca:
A woman with a good heart, may her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

Amen

USA
Chinese govt
Canadian govt
Bill Gates

Are the most suspicious of all I.M.O

Why on Earth would someone eat soup from bat flesh, the thought alone disgusts me, meanwhile they call all those weird stuffs exotic foods

Corona beer; just a joke jare
Samuel Hyde and 5G; hmmnn

Meteorite; how nah, but if you watch plenty super hero movies, you can believe anything

Modified HIV, high chances its possible
