Chukwurah003:
Face masks help, yes. But they’re not a total solution. Given the number of uneducated people in Nigeria, going that route without a restriction in movement would be a disaster. I hope you’re aware that the number of infected people in Nigeria is much higher than what we read here or see on TV, because we’re not testing enough. This virus is no joke...ask the black community in the US after joking that it doesn’t affect black people. Mind you that’s a country with a proper healthcare system. Here you’ll go to a hospital and meet no doctor. Nigeria cannot afford to be sloppy in handling COVID-19.

Lets stop hypocrisy, no one cares if another dies, protect yourself,stay home, same Nigerians are stealing and diverting palliatives...anyone dumb enough to risk his life its on them, people die everyday in Nigeria normally, lets stop pretending like we like each other...government job is enlightenment, we can not stop everyone from doing what they like, but we can save the economy, the nation.

Chukwurah003:
Safety measures in Nigeria? We both know that won’t work. The evidence is there.

Don’t compare Corona outbreak in Nigeria with developed countries. We don’t even have healthcare infrastructure. We would get it much worse if care is not taken. Bodies will liter the streets.

this is what the media want you to believe, wearing of face masks is better than staying home...do you really care if others die ...if they die due to negligence its on them...economy affects us all...this is hypocrisy, they dont care if we live or die...dying from hunger is worst death.

mind you, am talking of Lagos state.

Chukwurah003:
The safest way to reopen the economy is to continue the lockdown until the curve is flattened. If the economy is reopened and there is a second wave of infections, the economy will suffer even more. Why don’t you wait and see what happens to Ghana and other countries reopening before praising. Also read about the Spanish Flu of 1918 and how hurriedly lifted quarantines worsened the situation.

what about adopting safety measures and those that want to stay indoors stay...are you not concerned about other stuff i mentioned...remember Corona is not the only cause of death...the vaccine is available, so it will not be like the Spanish whatever...what am saying is, we might not recover from the economic blow in years if the lockdown is extended, or you think other nations calling it off are dumb...those that want to stay at home can stay.
Corona is overhyped, what you do not know is that, its not everyone that can be infected due to immune system differences, sunlight is also bad for it, and if we all adopt face masks, and sanitizers usage it wont spread

This is a rich man, the more the lockdown extends the more better for his ministry...why is noone talking of hunger killing people.

Let us readjust this lockdown in Lagos state, like Soludo rightfully said, we can not afford this lockdown, let us be creative and stop copying America that paid each citizen about 400k to stay inside, yet they are protesting there...let people move in private cars, bicycles and bikes...regulate markets, ensure people wear face masks and use sanitizers before entering markets, shops banks etc, ban danfo and molue, the state can use this to introduce a well regulated transport system, well run and maintained, that can be regulated to adhere to social distancing and wearing of masks by passengers...Germany, and some other rich nations are opening up gradually, let us not create a catastrophic problem because of Covid hysteria...People die everyday of different causes, lets be open minded about this...there are over 90million poor Nigerians, that number will rise if lockdown continues.
Social distancing, wearing face masks and use of sanitizers is key, while still banning crowd gathering, we will beat this, but not by lockdown, an extended lockdown will cause unforseen problems in a nation filled with poor people like Nigeria, even the government will go broke quickly, lots of companies will sack.workers because of lack or no revenue, lots of people will die off depression, anxiety and uncertainty...if people can not eat well, health complications arise, not to talk of rise in criminality, most youths might be enticed to go into stealing, robbery and joining bad gangs cos of hunger...lets think broadly and see the damage we will cause our society.

Only about 4% of infected people die, most recover...so the talk of bodies everywhere is a figment of imagination, and some immune systems resist it.

Those that want to stay home can stay, let those of us that wants to work and earn do, albeait safely...Ghana that ended their lockdown are not mad, if the economy collapse, it will be a disaster for us all, our government is already borrowing up and down, its a trap.

Note: am.emphasizing on Lagos, being the economic nerve of Nigeria, all other states can do as they like.

Village youths go to farm.

seunlayi:
Hmmmm, I m sorry for you and your views

sorry for your zombie lazy ass.

baysol:
No be kick den say you animals dey take wake una papa how you go respect other fathers. Simple logic you animals make Nigeria the zoo you tout so much. Yet you think you have morals to talk anything of any import. Lagoon species will reply to fool himself more. No be my problem say you people hate the truth so much,

You are a fool,due to your hate for the ibos, you derailed the thread, the thread is about Americans protesting, why are you ranting about ibos here, how does it connect...slave ass licking idiot...and i told your dumb head earlier,am not ibo.

baysol:
Stupid dog like you are not qualified to talk on a noble platform like this tell Nnamdi many you igbotic trump to open a forum like this for you a d your family to peddle fake news. Yeye people.

your family will die slow, stupid monkey, no one was arguing with your father, why not face Buhari and leave protesting Americans alone...ogun kill you, stupid political sycophant...say this outside, people will be mad at you...am not Ibo, am not from your stupid tribe as well,.soon we will exterminate parasitic numb skulls like you. you will die miserably for being an enemy of the people idiot.

baysol:
You are probably one of the Africans we are talking about who have a slave mentality and cannot plan or think without following every western things whether tested or not. Professor Awojobi came up in the 70s with innovation that would have been useful today for combating boko haram what did myopic ones like you in power then did. They did what they no best ignore and never come up with alternatives till tomorrow. Many thinking like you abounds in Africa from presidents to the last fool who wait for them to feed them as if government is your father. I think they all suffer from Trumpnosis, the propensity to be a nerd.

why are you so pained about Americans protesting for?
mad zombie, what is your business with Trump,Trump is not the one that told your father to be a slave born,you are a slave to dumb politicians, stupid people like you are the problems of Nigeria...Trump is not your problem, thunder fire your father, idiot.

A fool like you should know that there must be poor people in Nigeria, that pay VAT and other taxes, hence government must give them welfare...a fool like you don't think there is need to help the poor, or are you so foolish, from the cursed sperm of a foolish slave that you do not know that government first duty is protection of lives and property and catering for the people...fool, tell me what government job is, if its not to take care of the needs of the people...or foolish people like you think public revenue is owned by politicians...you are a scum.

HITMEUP4ANYBIZ:
.

You lie too much, are these protesters white?

If only we can have replica of America #2A, our politicians and military men will sit tight

no mind the idiotic slaves, licking politicians ass.

baysol:
Americans are morons like their president. Imagine a president telling idiots like these armed ones to injest disinfectant to cure Corona virus. What a nard. These are people Africans want to following instead of their well experienced and tested elder statements which has stood the test of time and still effective . An African will rather ignore his or her father's advice maybe because he's illiterate but will rather gobble up every wrong western teaching. They forget there is no better teacher than experience and this cuts across all spectrum of human endeavour.

you typed nonsense, your elected politicians that neglected poor Nigerians, asked them to stay inside without food...

Despite payments, and recording high death rates, Nigerian zombies rather die slowly from hunger.

The media hype got us scared, lets look at it objectively, its not that bad here, what will destroy us is continuing the lockdown.

Nwodosis:
I'm still marvelled that none of our Pastors has gone to any of the isolation centers to conduct healings!

No real power.

every reasonable person can see that...in between, there is a redeemed church every 5 minutes walk, why is redeem not seen in each local government reaching out to the poor...this is the highest commandment, after loving your lord God...

isthatso:
So how do you explain the Spanish flu of 1918-19.. that was a corona virus too?

Don’t fool yourself, the reason why our numbers are not higher are down to 2 factors. 1. The lockdown. 2. We are not testing enough

i now see you are bent on spreading fear...medicine have improved since then, you can not compare medical research lab levels of then to now, that is why the world is quickly coming up with a vaccine and medicines to combat it... even though we have not tested everyone, the death rates will tell you.

The Spanish flu did not affect Nigeria as much your numbers are fictitious.

isthatso:
Do you think the flu just happens in 2 months? The pandemic of 1918 lasted 2 years. We have just begun. If you had any brain you will look at the percentage of the number of people who have it that have died and you will see that 31 is actually 4% of the official figures of 800 confirmed cases so far. So also as the numbers start to increase so also will the deaths. We are now having cases in the 100s daily as opposed to single digits, so also will the deaths increase. Without lockdown, you will start to see 1000s daily

shut up,you are sounding foolish. read the article i posted, sunlight kills the virus, it won't even affect 0.5% of our population cos of sunlight and our immune system...our local foods and reduced preservatives helps us, as well as our herbs.

You are a prophet of doom, i counter you with facts, stop misleading people. The vaccine and medicine are ready.

If the spread will move fast in Nigeria like you claim, we would have known(based on death rates), it has past its incubation period, we will reach the curve soon, so your talk about 2years is not logical...social distancing, washing of hands, face masks etc are being observed, all these factors will slow down the spread to a halt.

Government of Lagos should please open up the economy, restive hungry youths are too much in this city...hunger breeds anger

isthatso:
I will ignore your insult for the sake of educating others and because I know you are a product of a failed education system and a population brainwashed by pastors.


The last time there was a flu pandemic was 1918, it was called the Spanish flu, the population of Nigeria was 8 million then, of that 200k died, translating to 2.5% Today our population is 200m so if we are not careful, up to 5 million people could die. Worldwide roughly 2-3% of those who get the virus die.

over 2months now, how many have died...31 people...do you know that millions die from flu yearly, do you know millions die of diabetes and obesity yearly, 31 in two months is not enough to warrant closing down a nation of 200million people. Sunlight inhibits the virus potency- https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/m-president-fake-news-donald-235959637.html
Our immune is strong and different from that of the white man, take natural herbs, boost your immune. By your assessment you are assuming all Nigerians will get infected, thats quite dumb, cos its not everyone that Corona can penetrate, its based on your immune system...don't sound myopic. Corona has too much media hype, its their businesses, they are cashing in, while you stay at home broke. wake up.

advancement of science and research in medicine now and at the time of the flu pandemic is not same, a test drug is being used in the UK now, vaccines too are being tested now...thank God the world is not filled with fear mongers like you, some people are about solutions. use your brain.

Brunicekid:
About 4-7%...But, they are still human beings. Every Human Life is valuable.

thank you for providing the right figure...yes i know, we all must continue to take precautions, face masks and sanitizers, when going out...we all are reasonable humans, NCDC should do its job, not spread bad news, it has a mandate to work, billions have been appropriated to it...closing down the economy for too long might bring out the animal in the citizenry, hunger breeds crime and restiveness, this too leads to people's demise.

Galaticos444:
and u said that's only while in d US it's jst 5% and dey ar complaining bitterly

It is not even up to 20% here, am.talking futuristically, before we get the vaccine/medicine... for now its about 8% or so here. fear also weaken the system, life must go on, albeit with some caution.

kaluxy007:
Like 40 out of 200 people is what you call only??

4% of infected people, we have about a few thousand infected people, with time we will start using the vaccines and medicines, so everything will be back to normal. my point is NCDC should not put unneccesary fear in the minds of Nigerians, rather let them use the billions allocated for them to build isolation centres and also bring in equipments and materials needed to fight this virus, that is their job, not telling us this. The world will get the vaccine soon, its bad for us to close our economy for too long, even government is loosing revenues daily...all over the world economies are opening up. As adults lets try to comprehend properly before responding, spreading fear and closing down our economy and system for too long will cripple us. Humans have lived with viruses frok time immemorial, we will get past this, but let us not cripple our economy and system, it wiill lead to more severe impacts on us.

jmaxjohn:
This is a very stupid thing to say. If your family member dies of this virus, you'd be speaking differently.

Lemme educate you.
1918, when the Spanish flu hit, there was an estimated world population of 1.8 billion people.
The number of deaths from the flu was at 50 million.
The number of infected was at 500 million.

Since you like percentages, let's do some.
The number of deaths in 1918 to the world's population was just 2.7%
2.7% is small until you remember that 2.7% is a whopping 50 million people.
The number of deaths from the confirmed cases of 500 million is small, just 10%, until you remember that just 10% is a whooping 50 million people.

Next time, think before you open your stupid mouth or type stupid things.

your father is mad, the solution is simple,.you and your family can stay indoors, lock yourselves in and wrap yourselves up...problem solved.
stupid sheep, hide inside and live forever, jobless fool.
Do you know the percentage of the world that dies from malaria, diabetes etc...

only about 4% of those infected meet their demise, the NCDC should do its job by liasing with various arms of government, the public need to see results from the commission, not press releases.

Believe you me you can not compire the two.
Yes all die na die
But more covid 19 deaths means more infected people especially in an over populated environment where proper precaution and guard line is ignored

stay indoors, let economy open without you.

Vloml222:
Bro, sacrificing the economy short term is our best chance of our recovery long term. The entire world is suffering, even Saudi Arabia whose economy is more dependent on oil is doing their best to flatten their curve. The impact of this pandemic will bite way harder than oil prices cos right now nobody is buying oil. Just a few days ago the US oil sold below 0$ the first time in history. Lockdown or not we will still sink into recession.

Oil prices are physical issues that can be remedied by production cuts (which OPEC already agreed to BTW) but you see this covid-19, it's an invisible enemy even your daddy GO cant fight.

Stay safe, stay home.

you can stay in your house, let those that want to go out go...

[quote author=Emotionss post=88775005][color=#006600][/color]

Unfortunately this is the only method that might work for a country like nigeria. Maybe when we reach 10,000 deaths people will now know the seriousness of covid 19.[/quote
Do you know how many people die daily normally?]

Avalancheman:
Forget about the number of cases. Focus on the number of deaths. Why are we not recording daily deaths in hundreds or thousands like other countries abroad

Abeg, Coronavirus is not for Africa!

exactly.

lawani:
we sell crude oil but import refined products like pms and diesel. We are waiting for dangote refinery to reverse that.

NNPC refines finished pms and diesel.

Open Nigeria economy, vehicles on the road, and productivity leads to demand of fuel.

Quite misleading, Nigeria is a Federation system, states have rights over their states, they can decide on such matters.

Only the conscious can save the people.
