You can't compare how they will handle theirs to ours

Lagos state can coordinate theirs, the state has the capacity...do you live in Lagos?

adeoba2008:
These are trash. The governors should pack well.

you live in Lagos?

ALABACONNECT:
Avoid greatly. Plus revenue from oil is on a lockdown. They just have to be smart about their decisions.

you are right, most people do not know that government via NNPC makes billions via daily usage of pms and diesel by Nigerians, not to talk of VAT and others...they do not think about what will happen when the nation runs out of funds.

Coronavirus can not affect up to 0.5% of our population that is about 1million people(worse case scenerio) cos the vaccine will be available here soon, its in the UK now, but economic stagnation via lockdowns, if stretched too much and hard can jeopardise and affect negatively the lives of over 80% of Nigerians.

Some people are too myopic, they only need to see the big picture.

ALABACONNECT:
the part about the nose mask and the fine is very much okay. I find slight issue when you talk about the ban on public buses. It will allow for a hike in cab prices and it might seem to favor only some selected few but since it's for a short while, your opinion on this is workable. Cheers

read in full, with time government will provide regulated mass transit buses, it is better we open 70%, than 0%

tete7000:
Nothing works in this clime. We are too disorganized and disoriented to make anything work. The governors don't have a choice as they are not capable of providing stimuli to make people stay at home. They talk of compulsory use of face mask as if they are ready to provide for everyone. Do they think everyone can afford face mask? Will Nigerians in their lackadaisical manner even obey? It is better, they open and let us go out. Those who will die will die and those who are destined to survive will live. No be today people don dey die, life has lost meaning to us here.

its cheaper to share facemasks than to shut down the economy...when the hunger bites too hard, people will go crazy, do not pray it gets to that...do you know 70% of Lagosians are dying of hunger as we speak, the palliatives did not go round.

Lighero:
Sense is lacking here. Act with sense. Lifting the lockdown is not the right action now. Be wise..

Do you live in Lagos?

ALABACONNECT:
Even close to a zombie invasion . At that point, our sanity will be tested and many will fail. Then there will be mass looting. The thing is, if there is money to go round per week they add, it will go a long way to keeping people calm but like you rightly said, it will "rape" the economy. Great emphasis on rape

you get the point, so many people are weak, and so many youths are into drugs, self control is weak...this is something government must avoid.

ALABACONNECT:
I live in Lagos. Your point is valid and I see sense in every word said. Hunger, anger and crime will rip the economy in half. Point is, I was stating the obvious on the two sides of the coin. It's left for them to pick the better half. My take

I think the better half is encouraging masks wearing or pay fine, if people see that they are fined 5k while mask is N300, they will buy mask...also Lagos state local councils will send officials to regulate markets and ensure there is no crowding, and everyone coming in wears face mask, bank, offices can do same. Danfo and molue can be banned for now, people can use their own bikes and bicycles to move as well as cars, companies too will convey their staff, and government can deploy mass transit bus systems that can be regulated into Lagos transport system, schools, events and gatherings can still be closed for now. Lagos state has better and bigger isolation centres now, better prepared to cater for the sick, and the vaccine is being administered in the UK now, we need to run our economy to make money to buy the vaccines. Our economy is our life, we are smart people, we can not let a virus halt our existence, but we must find solutions to work around it...we are smart people, we find solutions. Those that want to stay inside can stay, let our economy thrive. Eko' Onibaje oo

ALABACONNECT:
If there is an extension of the lockdown, I hope we all have guns to hold still the likely rise in crime and the government enough food to appease the stomach of everyone.

If we call off or "make light" the lockdown, even with restrictions we are Nigerians and stubborn by nature and so therefore break rules which will see the hike in cases.

They just have to be smart about any decision taken. Be safe out there Nairalanders

crime and violence will spiral, people will run out of cash in atm cards, they and their dependents will go hungry, people will start acting like animals...it will be worse than Corona

Do you live in Lagos...Lagosians are smart people, you know what it takes to pay rent and live there...do you want Nigerian economy to collapse, dont you know these 3 states largely sustains Nigeria's economy...people are recovering from Corona Viru, its only 4/100 infected people that die...a stagnated economy with its ripple effects of hunger, anger, violence, crime, depression, acute shortage of money will destroy our society more. Good decision by the governors.

They said Lagos and Ogun, other states need not worry.

Smart progressive and workable, am proud of this.

hunger breeds insanity.

candiva2013:
Read everything you have written. Then think like a reasonable human you will realize how foolish you are.

hear me clearly, you don't have sense

this is a forum, give us your own opinion...

your father is a cow, cow bore you so you can not comprehend,village fool.

candiva2013:

thats what fools type when they have nothing to say, am sure most of you dont stay in Lagos...this thread is for lagosians only.

Cholls:
my brother it's even because Nigeria don't have a good Healthcare database system where people can source for information.


We need to know the percentages of people with pneumonia,tuberculosis...and so on. cuz these will be the people that will be affected the most.

no mind lazy jobless people, what is the value of life, when you are home, broke and hungry?

we must resist this lockdown, let Lagos state government use safety measures instead

Fantasy that’s currently killing thousands daily. If we get a working vaccine then that’s the perfect solution; not sending people to their deaths because you want to restart the economy. The economy will even refuse to start sef. Which worker will stay when people around him/her are dropping dead

did you see the amount discharged,.it is not a death sentence, more or less like any other virus, the world was scared cos it was new.

thousands where?

yes its killing them there in droves cos of their immune system and weather, only 30 deaths here...you know how many people die everyday normally.
stay in your house,what do you care if others die...

Chukwurah003:
You still don’t see the point. If there’s a second wave of infections - which will surely be bigger, there will be no economy to speak of.

read what you just said, and slap yourself...what is economy...economy dies when its stopped...oga dumb head, Covid kills only 4% of those affected, the antivirus is out, government needs money to buy for Nigerians, no economic activity, no money for government...your talk is baseless without facts...how can you say there will be no economy...deaths in Nigeria will never reach.0.5% of our population, how does this stop economy...you are very dumb, you sound uneducated.

Do you live in Lagos?

Nwanyiogwashi:
Testing in human being is not the coco but will it work

bring your own vaccine that will work, Nigerians are their own worst enemy.

Cholls:
my sister Generally, vaccines take several months to pass different stages of testing, and composes some phases to assess their safety, their efficacy and finally their durability over a defined period of time.

And if there is any vaccines available for consumption now at the short timeline then the vaccine seems dubious to me,


All I can say is 19 is here with us...we humans can develop immunity to fight it.

the vaccine is being injected in humans already, read news and stop swallowing and spreading fear. advancement in medicine and science makes it easier to make vaccines faster,we are not in 1918, this is 2020...yes i agree with you, our immune will learn to resist it.

Chukwurah003:
So your plan is to fight a war of attrition. Everyone knows a war attrition should only be a last resort. At this point in time, your argument holds no water. We should stay locked down, and we will stay locked down. That’s the reality.

oga stay in your house, am speaking of Lagos state, i have no business with other states...stop talking like a fool, attrition is used un physical warfare...how many have died so far...this is the vaccine being tested, all your talk of gloom is just your fantasy. lock yourself up with your family, no one will force you out.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/health-52394485

Nwanyiogwashi:
Do you know that it take months to conclude the testing if not even years

they are testing in humans already, you people should read news please not listening to rumours, which nonsense years, ask if you do not know.

Oga you are talking trash, people give birth and die everyday...how many people have died so far of Covid, how many people die yearly of malaria, over 300k...do the maths...not everyone it affects dies, only 4%, El Rufai, Boris, and so many survive, only 4% of those affected have died...only 30 people have died, in a nation of 200mil,do you know how many people bandits kill each week?
do you know how many people die every week normally...what is your fear?

So you want the economy to be locked down perpetually?

Do you know how many people will loose their jobs?

Talk with facts and figures, as it concerns Nigeria, again am speaking for Lagos....do you live in Lagos...are you being fed and kept?

Nwanyiogwashi:
vaccine available please is it

yes being tested in UK now, check BBC.

Mynd44:
They told a few educated Nigerians to self-isolate and they refused yet you think millions of Nigerians will over social distancing and wear facemasks

stay home with your family, no one will force you out.

if they die stubbornly, do you really care?

how many poor people have you fed today...lets stop hypocrisy.

Cholls:
my brother don't mind that ignorant scaremongerer. By the way, your suggestion is the way to go. 19 has come to still...life should go on.

As it stands now, Viro scientists has it trying to decode genome sequence of 19...All viruses mutate constantly, many of the mutations are due to climatic conditions

Humans have to build a level of immunity just we did when mosquito's carrying malaria and mutate entirely in humans.

people are quite dumb, so scared they can not use their common sense, with time our immune will be strong enough to ward it off...Covid is not a death sentence, only 4% die...lets not destroy 50% of our population cos of a virus that kills only 4% of those infected.
people are really dumb and gullible.

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
