| Health › Nigeria’s Response To Coronavirus Remarkable – UN Chief by Dotng(op): 11:09pm On Apr 03, 2020 |
Nigeria’s response to coronavirus remarkable – UN chief The United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has commended Nigeria’s response to the coronavirus pandemic in the country. Guterres, who spoke at a virtual news briefing in New York, the United States on Thursday, singled out Nigeria as one of the developing countries that have “shown a remarkable capacity to respond to the coronavirus.” “I have to say this; some of these developing countries have shown a remarkable capacity to respond. “I was quite impressed to see, for instance, Nigeria putting in place and immediately establishing a hospital. “And I saw difficulties in countries that are much more developed to do quickly the same.” Nigeria currently has 190 cases of COVID-19 with two deaths.

| Health › LUTH Sends Away Man Who Tested Positive For Coronavirus Over Lack Of Bed Space by Dotng(op): 6:18am On Mar 27, 2020 |
EXCLUSIVE: Lagos University Teaching Hospital Sends Away Man Who Tested Positive For Coronavirus Over Lack Of Bed Space Benson, who had hoped to be quarantined and treated at LUTH after being tested at the government-owned hospital on March 21, was asked to go back home over lack of bed space to admit him at the facility. A man named Emmanuel Benson, who had close contact with two persons that recently arrived Lagos from the United Kingdom, has been told to go home by medical personnel at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, after testing positive for Coronavirus. Benson, who had hoped to be quarantined and treated at LUTH after being tested at the government-owned hospital on March 21, was asked to go back home over lack of bed space to admit him at the facility. SaharaReporters gathered that since the refusal of LUTH to admit Benson, he had returned home and continued his normal life. “He moved to and from LUTH through public transportation. “He has been mingling freely with people,” a friend to the young man told SaharaReporters on Thursday. When contacted by SaharaReporters on Thursday night after his mobile number was supplied to one of our correspondents, Benson indeed confirmed that he tested positive for the virus and was not admitted to LUTH for treatment by medical personnel. He disclosed that he went for the test after coming in contact with the two UK returnees at a dinner party in Lagos last week. When asked if money was demanded from him before the test was conducted, Benson refused to open up, instead saying that he does not want unnecessary attention. While chatting with one of our correspondents on social networking platform, Whatsapp, Benson, who expressed fear of being stigmatised should his story be published, quickly deleted his display photo on his profile. He was standing with an unidentified person in the photo where both men were wearing tags over their necks. He said, “I am at home on self-isolation now. "I had the test at LUTH even though the queue was too long. “Some of the medical staff I spoke with later advised me to go home and self-isolate. "They said I should get back to them after 14 days or that in seven days they might call to check my progress. "I was infected at a dinner party organised for the two men who returned to Nigeria from the UK. "I went for the test on March 21." When asked if he had attempted to contact the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control to notify them of his situation and probably seek help, Benson said, “I have called the NCDC lines several times but they are not picking up the call.” To further give credence to Benson's situation, the NCDC on Thursday night announced 12 new confirmed cases of Coronavirus in Lagos out of the total 14 detected in the country. Nigeria now has 65 confirmed cases of the virus and one recorded death. Testing kits for the virus are being used for politicians and their families while ordinary Nigerians with symptoms of the pandemic are being left to their fates. Till date, less than 200 persons have been tested for the virus in Nigeria despite Lagos alone having a population of over 20 million persons. An official of the Nigerian Medical Association told SaharaReporters that the number of confirmed cases declared by NCDC was far below the real figure, adding that there were already hundreds of citizens infected with Coronavirus walking and freely mixing up with others thus increasing the risk of a further spread. http://saharareporters.com/2020/03/26/exclusive-lagos-university-teaching-hospital-sends-away-man-who-tested-positive |

It is a hard job defending the indefensible. They can only resort to slamming the senate because their principal is confused and does not know what to say. Presidents all over the world know that they need to interact with their people and they do so without stress. When you have clueless people who don't have anything meaningful upstairs what they end up with is mudslinging. |

| Politics › Coronavirus Caused By Corruption- Magu by Dotng(op): 7:45pm On Feb 19, 2020 |
Coronavirus caused by corruption- Magu The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, says the dreaded coronavirus disease was caused by corruption. Magu said this at the passing out parade of 281 cadets of the EFCC Detective Inspector Course-5, at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, on Tuesday. While addressing the crowd which included the President, Maj. Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State and his Kebbi State counterpart, Atiku Bagudu, the EFCC boss said corruption is the “biggest strategy (sic) known to mankind” He said, “Corruption is the biggest strategy to humankind. Your Excellency, corruption is worse than all the diseases now running about. And I strongly believe, Your Excellency, that even the coronavirus is caused by corruption.” Magu said as of the time he took over at the EFCC in 2015, the commission had 103 convictions, in 2016 it rose to 195 convictions, 314 in 2018 and over 1,218 convictions were secured in 2019. Coronavirus, which was first reported in December 2019, has infected more than 73, 000 people and killed more than 2,000. The disease, which was first reported in Wuhan, China, has no cure and is also airborne. No case of Coronavirus has been confirmed in Nigeria. Magu has been known to link every social malady to corruption. On February 8, 2018, during a visit to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Magu said the dreaded disease, cancer, was caused by corruption. He stated, “Corruption is the worst enemy of Nigeria. It is a disaster. It causes all evils. Even cancer is caused by corruption. Every evil you find in society is caused by corruption directly or indirectly. So, it is high time you and I stamped corruption out.” Last week, he told civil servants that resuming late at work was also corruption. https://punchng.com/update-coronavirus-caused-by-corruption-magu/amp/ |

The advantage Sienna has over all others is that it is roomy. The Sienna is a family vehicle which has space for children and cargo. Other than that the Highlander is compact and would be more expensive to maintain as highlighted above. If you are willing to spend more and you are comfortable with the space within the Highlander then you can go for it. |
| Politics › AMOTEKUN: Confusion As AGF Disagrees With VP, South West Governors by Dotng(op): 10:44pm On Jan 23, 2020 |
AMOTEKUN: Confusion as AGF disagrees with VP, South West governors The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Thursday, insisted that the Southwest security outfit, Operation Amotekun, is illegal and unknown to the Nigerian Constitution The minister said in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Dr. Umar Gwandu, that no amount of sentiments would make the Federal Government abandon the path of rule of law in running the country affairs. Malami issued the statement a few minutes before Vice President Yemi Osinbajo met with the six South West governors to resolve the crises trailing the establishment of the Amotekun. He said: “No amount of effort to hide the truth will work. People could be carried away by sentimental or emotional inclinations, but the truth remains apparently palpable. “The bottom line is that the current Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not accommodate the formation of regional security architecture. “This is a fact which is indisputable and undeniable. Mr. Falana was prevaricating and circumlocuting using evasive techniques when he was asked by the media to justify the presence of lacuna within the law which could establish or protect the concept of regionalism in any operation in the country.

Mr. Falana was prevaricating and circumlocuting using evasive techniques when he was asked by the media to justify the presence of lacuna within the law which could establish or protect the concept of regionalism in any operation in the country. “This arrangement called Amotekun is not backed by any law neither at the State nor at the Federal Government level. Amotekun, therefore, remains unconstitutional and illegal as already indicated. “The Federal Government appreciates that legally-minded Nigerians have started to eschew emotions by offering legal comments on the matter as against being carried away by other inclinations. “The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice is committed to the rule of law and a constitutional democratic Federal Republic of Nigeria.” At the meeting which was attended by Malami and the Inspector-General of the Police, Mohammed Adamu, the federal government and the governors agreed that necessary legal instruments would be put in place by each of the states to give legal backing to the Amotekun and address all operational issues on the initiative. However, the AGF has not withdrawn his statement on the illegality of the security network at the time of filing this report. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/01/amotekun-confusion-as-agf-disagrees-with-vp-south-west-governors/ |

It is also an end to Skynet being the architect of the demise of the future world. Legion is the new artificial intelligence that will destroy the world. Future Terminator movies will use the same template of Man versus Machine but it will be different protagonists and and antagonists. |

| Politics › Debt: Nigeria Risks Bankruptcy Under Buhari ― Obasanjo by Dotng(op): 10:28pm On Dec 28, 2019 |
Debt: Nigeria risks bankruptcy under Buhari ― Obasanjo Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo who served as a civilian president between 1999 and 2007 has said the nation risks impeding bankruptcy under the present administration of Muhammadu Buhari. The second elected civilian president of Nigeria while speaking in Lagos at the first edition of the Nigerian Story organised by the ‘Why I Am Alive’ campaign noted that: “As at 2015, total external debt was about $10.32billion. In four years, our external debt grew to N24.947 trillion or $81.274 billion. ” The former president stated there is nothing wrong in taking loans to finance growth and development, but according to him such ought to come “with a high degree of discipline, responsibility and foresight”, His notion was also that the Nigerian government is “notoriously deficient in serious and adequate discipline and most often lack competence and consistency.” During Obasanjo’s administration, the nation’s GDP growth doubled to 6 per cent until the expiration of his tenure. The country’s foreign reserves also increased from $2 billion in 1999 to $43 billion in 2007 when he left office. Obasanjo was also able to secure debt pardons from the Paris and London club amounting to some $18 billion and paid another $18 billion to be debt-free. Most of these loans were accumulated from short-term trade arrears during the exchange control period. Obasanjo said his fear is that unlike the situation in the past, the current “creditors are less tolerant of our limitations and inadequacies.” “As at 2015, total external debt was about $10.32billion. In four years, our external debt grew to N24,947 trillion or $81.274 billion. To service this current level of indebtedness, we must commit at least 50 per cent of our foreign earnings, such a situation tells about an impending bankruptcy because no entity can survive while devoting 50 per cent of its revenue to debt servicing.” “In 2018, total debt servicing cost took over 60 per cent of government revenue. As if this is not bad enough, we are currently seeking to add another $29.6 billion loan to our already overburdened debt portfolio.” “Our current budget, out of which we are spending 25 per cent to service debt is not our total earnings, a lot of it is also borrowing. We are borrowing to service what we have borrowed and yet we are borrowing more.” Considering the decline in oil price, Obasanjo said the situation will get worse and Nigeria may never be able to secure another debt relief and might become the poorest nation in the world. Encouraging Nigerians to speak up, the former president, Obasanjo said; “For once, all Nigerians need to rise up and shout in one voice and call on the National Assembly to rise up to its core duty and responsibility and save our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren from being mirred in debt.” “The forecasts now are scary. At the present rate, Nigeria’s population by 2050 will be well over 400 million and Lagos alone will be over 40 million. If we continue as we are going now and as we have gone start and stop in the past, we will be one of the most wretched of the world and maybe the most wretched in Africa.” Vanguard has reported that President Muhammadu Buhari is seeking a loan of $29.9 billion and that the NASS already promised to grant the application An elder statesman and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Victor Attah, who also has the same view as Obasanjo faulted the loan decision of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to develop infrastructure, saying the president should have embarked on restructuring the economy and the nation’s governance structure before seeking more loans. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/12/debt-nigeria-risks-bankruptcy-under-buhari-%e2%80%95-obasanjo/ |

Keanu Reeves’ “Matrix 4” And “John Wick 4” To Be Released On The Same Day 2020 is a year to look forward to for film enthusiasts as Canadian actor Keanu Reeves would be going head to head against himself in the cinemas as John Wick in the action film of the same title and Neo in “Matrix 4”. Warner Bros. announced Wednesday that the untitled fourth instalment in the Matrix franchise will hit theatres on May 21, 2021, putting it in a head-to-head match-up with John Wick: Chapter 4. In Matrix 4, the now 55 years old Keanu will return as Neo. Meanwhile, Jada Pinkett Smith and Carrie-Anne Moss are set to reprise their roles as Niobe and Trinity respectively. John Wick’s release date was announced back in May 2019 after the third instalment John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum knocked Avengers: Endgame from the number one spot at the box office and raked in $57 million (£43.3 million) during opening weekend.

Black nations have thrived before modern day colonialism. History is always written by the conquerer and not the conquered. Nigeria is an example of a nation that was programmed to fail.
