[[s][/s]quote author=BENARI post=98074581]While I am totally against another full lockdown, I am equally against the reopening of not all schools, but nursery, primary, and secondary schools. Reason being that this schools bring pupils in very close contact with one another daily; forget all the Face Shield and Hand Washing protocols. In the last term, my kids wore thier face Shields daily, carried their hand sanitizers in thier school bags daily, and the school provided humidifiers, hand sanitizers, and hand washing points in the school, but they didn't prevent the kids from catching cold repeatedly as is always the case whenever school is in session. I even suspect without hard proof though, that one of my kids could have contracted the virus, because on the particular day he was mildly ill and was not in school, I called in to the school, and the class teacher confirmed to me that about 4 other pupils besides mine where also not in school because of illness on a class oc 13 pupils. Funny enough my wife and I had very similar symptoms within a space of 48hours, but thankfully we got better without taking any drugs. We decided to at least for a time allow our body fight it rather than taking any drugs that could weaken the immune system.

During the same last term, our kids school to my surprise invited parents for open day not minding the effect it could have. Yes parents were asked to put on thier masks, but many were simply covering their mouths with it while the nose which is the entry and exit for the virus were usually left uncovered. Some other parent complained of breathing difficulties and would generally just shift the mask under the jaw.

While in the school, even with all the supposed stage management the school management must have done to convince the visiting parents of following the civid19 protocols, you could clearly see that it was not practicable protecting the kids from themselves(no time to go into all the details of what I saw with regards the kids and their supposed protective gears).

My point Is this, for some reason, the last wave of this virus was not so deadly as we originally feared, but this time around with the virus mutating and becoming more resistant, it looks like we are dealing with something far deadlier. Yes I've heard many say people are going to the markets, churches, mosques and all. But the school environment is a different one. Those who have refused to go to the churches and mosques, who wear their face masks and exercise maximum caution whenever they have to visit the markets(and ofcourse there are many such people), will unfortunately be very vulnerable with thier kids forced to return back to school irrespective of whatever measures the school say they are putting in place. Children will always be children; no one can reallly prevent them from doing what they do when they come together. As far as I know, face Shield is no barrier to an airborne virus, it can only prevent saliva from reaching the eyes not a floating virus and they cannot were face masks for the length of time they're expected to be in class.

I however think those in tertiary education can go back to school especially those who live in campus. For those who go from home, given that most of them are young adults who understand what protecting oneself is all about, they'll do better at managing the spread of the virus, better still they can go virtual as is been done in other parts of the world now. Most tertiary students will need very little if any help from parent in taking thier studies online.

It seems to me that the directive to resume school on the 18th is the government caving in to pressure from the public, and that is understandable, but given what we've seen with this virus in the last 2 months, I'm afraid we might be playing with fire by letting the kids come together from monday next week. I hope I'm wrong though, but surely, the fastest way to spread this virus and any airborne disease is through basic schools.

For those who may want to attack me, please note that I'm not ignorant of the challenges that many of you particularly parents are having to deal with with the children at home. And for the teachers and those in school employment, I understand how continuing school closure will affect your means of livelihood. The fact is, either way, it's a tragic situation and I wish everyone the very best while we hope the virus abates again like it did last year until the vaccine begins to arrive.

Good luck everyone.[/quote][s][/s]


You are bereft of thinking and very stupid sir

SuperDuper97:
You guys should stay safe out there.

How will squatters do it now when covid 19 protocols are enforced in hostels... For here squatters plenty pass legal occupants sef

Hehe.. na God go help una oo

sevenhundred:
ah!!! as a student you wrote this sentences?

As a student, do I have to sound serious all the time?

Good one.. They are finally coming to their senses at last to realize that covid-19 is here to stay and the best we could do is to mitigate with it by enforcing strict protocols and guidelines rather than postponing and postponing.

Amongst every other sectors, I can say that no one can exercise these guidelines better than we students would because we are educated and not some persons in market places that dont care to observe any protocol.

I don't believe this shit.. and the idiot that was being interview too no wear face mask oo

Mannnn:
It's AIT that postponed the resumption of schools indefinitely, not the Federal Government... Get it right

Thank you. Finally someone with some brains!


According to official news, the FG said they were going to mke their decision known tomorrow regarding the date

For how long will they keep postponing??.. are they awaiting some kind of miracle to happen?? We are meant to mitigate with this and not remain dormant.. Nigeria is really a failed country!!

Federal Government has given a date for resumption on January 18th ✅

Nigerian University Commission (NUC) also approved January 18th for resumption of all Academic activities ✅

Covid-19 vaccines are coming this month ending.. ✅

What then is stopping us?

Well, only those ones that are ready would.

Someone once told me after you’ve passed the sun, You will see God. I don’t know how true is this?

It might be true because nobody can ever survive the intensity of the sun, Even some part of the earth far off is usually very very hot.

You would be the dumbest person on earth if you believe

Resumption of Universities amid covid-19 is completely dependent on different individual Universities who don't have the ability to control the spread.. This does not applies to all Universities.

Federal Government has given a date for resumption which is on the 18th of January ✅

Nigerian University Commission (NUC) also approved January 18th for resumption of all Academic activities ✅

Covid-19 vaccines are coming this month ending.. ✅
