1st Sim was 2002, I was selling lines back in Wuse 2 so I had personal lines but temporary- Econet, mtn and mtel. Gave my elder bro the mtn, sold off mtel (Nitel mobile) and the econet wireless �, sim then was hot cake�. Well I bought a permanent sim, an mtn 2005. Never lost nor welcome back. Only upgraded to microsim (I guess it’s 2 or 3 g to 4 g). 17 years like this �

I once had glo too in the early days 2003 but dumped it.

You may be right or wrong. The odd is 0.5 if you know what I mean. If SW produce the President then it’s true. If Buhari’s candidate is from SE then you are wrong.

Health / Re: Coronavirus: When Will It End, Will Things Ever Get Back To Normal? by Dking99(m): 11:13am On Apr 15, 2020
Christthesaviour:
When do you think this global pandemic covid 19 will be over? Will things ever get back to normal?

Please give your prediction.



I think the thing most people don’t understand is that the lock down is in place to slow the progression of the disease, NOT to eradicate it by end of the lockdown.

I think people are missing the point because they naively think the govt will somehow get rid of it so life goes back to normal. These are people who have ignored the global reality since January. This is the dangerous delusional thinking that Johnny, Themba and Susan come lately’s are applying in their assessment of the situation when advocating we should stop the lockdown because they are literally only waking up to this thing now, or when we were initially shut down. So let’s lift the curtain a bit.

1. Flattening the curve means slowing down the disease so that hospitals can cope with the sick. It does not mean eradicating the disease all together.

2. No government will be able to eradicate the disease this year. It’s here until a cure or a vaccine is found

3. A vaccine is at least a year away. That’s April 2021. The earliest vaccine trials just started late last month. It takes 18 to 24 months to make, test and assess the efficacy of a vaccine. So 1 year is literally a Hail Mary.

4. There is NO going back to normal. Your normal will not exist for at least a year. Economies globally will keep bleeding and we are likely to have rolling lockdowns until a vaccine is found.

5. Even when the ban is lifted, tourism and hospitality industry, and many others will not see an increase in business for at least a year. Until a vaccine is found people will continue to self isolate even when a lock down is lifted.

6. The only reprieve we are going to get is if we have thousands of people who have been infected and recovered and minimum deaths so that we have some level of herd immunity. That is also still a theory that is yet to be proven because some countries think they may be seeing people get reinfected. Even with that in place normal is not feasible because fear still reigns and people will remain isolated until safety is guaranteed- cure or vaccine. Refer to point 3.

7. The above is still 6 months away. We are projected to reach our peak in September. That means, bleeding economy, rolling lockdowns, death and chaos until then.

8. The decisions made in the lockdown like no alcohol and no dog walking or running and no e-commerce are not made with the privileged in mind. They are made with the masses in mind. What you allow in the suburbs you must allow in the townships and those two things look very different in execution.

Now our government is doing the best it can and they have reacted faster than most developed countries. Our progress is still better than most and right now we’re riding the dumb hope that somehow BCG gives us some fighting chance (still unproven).

So please please we all need to do whatever we can to help our neighbors, help each other, support our government and stop having delusional ideas about any level of normalcy at the end of this month. Adjust your projections and hunker down.

This is not a Joke and the shit is not even anywhere near any semblance of real yet.

Normal is dead. Let that sink in. But hope is very much alive!

There is one person who is supposed to be occupying the position but due to political and ethnic reasons was denied the slot...Chief Dr Ogbonnaya Onu. His ANPP group in the merger has not bn duely and effectively represented...I think the only way for him to get it now is thro lobbying... let me suggest who his emissaries should meet... Mamman D and the DSS boss... H/ever, it is at the discretion of the president to appoint whomever he thinks competent and trustworthy to handle the job.

Robert Mugabe (1980 – till date) ...
Jose Eduardo Dos Santos (1979-till date) ...
Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo (1979-till date)

He will like to take over the position of Mbasogo.
