why not we reach out to Madagascar for the drugs they discovered

Because COVID is big business for Nigeria government. They are using it to beg for money from all over the world.

Awon were!
Today is 2nd, and they have already manufactured tomorrow's COVID case result, maybe because they will not work tomorrow. Which day is 3st May?
This country don craze complete. They can predict COVID cases for next day, next week, next year even.

TruthSpeaker:
I’m extremely realistic, not scared in anyway. You are still not getting it, I have already explained that the virus only got to the grassroots recently. Being like that, massive testing wasn’t expected before now. Did you expect massive street testing just after Abba Kyari and Atiku’s son imported it to Nigeria? Of course no. Time for more expansive testing is now that even Almajiri dudes in the north have the disease. Most states in Nigeria already have positive cases.
Of course testing is reserved for people with symptoms, contacts of positive cases and suspicion cases. While there are asymptomatic patients out there, testing is yet to be that generous.
It is no secret that test kits in Nigeria are seriously limited and some states lack testing facilities. I have colleagues practicing back home that are complaining of lack of adequate PPE. They also complain of lack of access to testing kits. Remember Nigeria has a population of over 200 million.
What I advocate for is for people to be very cautious and prepare for the worst case scenario, while they pray for the best.
Don’t forget Donald Trump initially wrote off COVID-19 claiming it was gonna be easily washed away. As I’m writing, more than 65,700 Americans have passed away due to COVID-19 in such a short period. Brazil president is following the same part and the fatality is progressively increasing. On Tuesday he was reminded by a journalists that despite the fact he claims the disease is mild that more than 5,000 Brazilians have died. He simple response was “so what”? He said his second name is Messiah but that doesn’t mean he can do miracles to save people from death. He has supported people at rally protesting against the lockdown (which he is strongly against and he goes around without face mask at the rally) imposed by state governors.
Mind you I’m thousands of miles away from Nigeria. The fatalities due to COVID-19 in the country I reside is still less than 25 after almost 2 months of partial lockdown. Normal activities are now slowly being reintroduced, although face mask most be used to be able to enter shopping malls.
If people begin to die massively in Nigeria (I pray that wouldn’t be the case though), it will still be on the platform I will write to say I saw it coming.

You are writing from a country with 25 deaths and foretelling massive death for Nigeria. You should be ashamed of yourself. God will put your wish to shame. And since February, how many has COVID killed in Lagos where it began? How many has it killed in FCT where it appeared shortly after? So what is the basis of your foolish projection, other than it has now reached the grassroots but yet to kill in thousands as you wish would happen? Where were you when we were fighting and overcame Ebola ? Where were you when we were fighting Lassa Fever? Where have you been while we were fighting Malaria Fever for centuries? You have a very wicked mind and God will not permit your "I saw it coming" to happen. Enjoy your misery all by yourself , and if you desperately wish more deaths in Nigeria, then pray for your loved ones to be contributed to the toll. That is being realistic.

TruthSpeaker:
Unfortunately the harvest time is near for Nigeria. Remember COVID-19 has found it’s way to the grassroots in Nigeria. When it was newly introduced from abroad, only a few wealthy Nigeria had the privilege (sarcastically talking) of living with COVID-19 in their system. Abba Kyari was one of them, but today he already dead. Now the disease even abides with almajiri dudes in the north. It is now present all over the country. Don’t let the numbers NCDC record fool you. Things are much worse. By the way how many test have been done in Nigeria so far? A country with over 200 million people.
Now realistically talking, it will really get worse in Nigeria in the coming weeks. Do you know that the population of Spain (46,940,000) + Italy (63,360,000) + UK (66,650,000) = 176,950,000 is still 23,050,000 less than that of Nigeria (200,000,000)? For sure you know that the total death toll in those 3 countries respectively are 24,824 + 28,236 + 27,510 = 80,570. Optimistically speaking, one can assume (or better said hope) that COVID-19 is in it’s twilight in both Italy and Spain. The same can’t be said of UK yet. And mind you the disease can do a U-turn in both Spain and Italy at any time. Don’t forget the Olympic Games has been postponed till next year and even the host Japan is still scared that in more that a year’s time that COVID-19 will still be very much around.
Nigeria’s official death rate today is unrealistically low at just 68. Of course with just 15,759 test done, a very different result isn’t expected. Of that number, many were repeated on same patients. Spain, Italy and UK have done 1,528,833, 2,053,425 and 1,023,824 tests respectively. Don’t forget there are already some mysterious happening in Kano.
Health system in Nigeria is very precarious and can’t be compared to any of the countries I have mentioned. We are amongst the worst (last quarter) in the world. That of course favors indiscriminate death toll. Poverty, malnutrition, poor hygiene, stubbornness etc wouldn’t help issues either. Naturally our life expectancy (54.49 years) is really low, so that already gives a clear picture of our reality.
The upcoming hotspot is now Brazil where the president Bolsonaro has been downgrading the disease by calling it a “simple flu”. He has been fighting with state governors to relax the lockdown and get the economy back to track. He even had to fire his health minister for sharply and openly disagreeing with him on the issue. Check out Brazil in the next coming days and weeks.
I have absolutely nothing to gain to see people die in large numbers. I am not immune to the disease neither are my family members and friends. I only like being real with the situation in ground instead of just saying we are covered with the blood of Jesus. We need to also take precaution ourselves.

Oga,you are not any realist, you are just scared. In Europe there are countries with low death rates - Norway is an example. So, the misfortune of Italy, Spain,,France, UK does not necessarily translate to same for Nigeria. And be wise to understand that more cases are being declared because more tests are being carried out in those countries. And more tests are being carried out mostly on suspected cases, they don’t drag people from the street to forcefully test them. More people are not being tested in Nigeria because not many people are declaring symptoms. And if we are not yet dying in thousands should we not be thankful for that instead of waiting for that tragedy to come ? Get a grip of yourself and start thinking like a normal human being with a desire to enjoy life as it comes , rather than expecting death to come knocking at your door next morning. And what has the blood of Jesus got to do with all the negative faith you have previously declared? You are a truly amazing “somebody”.

TruthSpeaker:
Because I prefer being realistic instead of being optimistic. By the way do you really believe the deflated numbers NCDC is giving? This initial false hope is what make people take down their guard. This evil COVID-19 has come to do a very cruel population control on earth.
Don’t erroneously think Nigerians are a special and resistant breed. Officially around the world, more than 238,000 people have died due to COVID-19. The real figure could even be way higher than 500,000.
This religious believe of we are covered by the blood of Jesus is costing lives. Take precautions and prepare for the worse, instead of relaxing and being hopeful.

And how many people has COVID killed in Nigeria since you have become realistic? You think people will die in such huge number as even in Europe and we the entire world will not know? Currently COVID deaths are generally on the decline all over the world and may just become maximum of 10 in every country by end of June. It may certainly return in winter but I am an optimist. Better for you to be optimistic too because I have no idea what you hope to gain from being a pessimist other than you love seeing people die in large numbers. That means you are a sadist not that you are realistic

TruthSpeaker:
Quite unfortunate, but Sadly many more will still die. It has only just begun and it will definitely get worse. RIP to the dead and to the future that will die of COVID-19. USA has been recording an average of over 2400 daily deaths in the last 10 days. Nigerians are not more righteous.
We have to take this COVID-19 really serious, it has come to kill and to destroy.

.

Why are you comparing Nigeria with America and not with other countries with low death rates? You want many of us to die?? That is very bad of you.

Say amen

Father, I know and I believe that sickness does not come from you. I know and I believe also that you are the giver of health and of healing. Therefore, with. faith in my heart I have come to you today, knowing that you are not only able to give me healing but also able to give me perfect health. Father I cry out to you , remove from me,whatever evil weed that the evil sower has planted in my body. Save me father, heal me completely and give me that perfect health that only you can give, in Jesus name.

Lord, today again I pray that you look upon me with new mercy. I have lost so much either due to my carelessness or to the activities of destructive forces around my life. I acknowledge my huge losses and I call upon you for the grace to step out and away from a conquered life and into the life of a conqueror. Thank you Lord Jesus for the grace and gift of restoration. Amen.

West Africa is DOOMED!

Lord, I come to you today, to ask for a new beginning to my life. I am tired of the situations of my life. I have come to ask for a new beginning away from my failures and frustrations. Help me God, in Jesue, name.

Not a problem. If I don’t cut my hair after 2 weeks maximum I am never myself again.

If dem born am well let him extend Lagos lockdown. That is where Nigeria Spring will begin. Foolish president

It can’t be true. Even his predecessor Murtala Mohammed was assassinated in a Mercedes

Hmmm I have this deep feelings covid 19 want survive much on this our hash weather.

I pray along with you. But it survived in Iran and Saudi Arabia though and their weather is even hotter than our own

NwaNimo1:
shthole residence..

Wey your own?

Seun:
I’m quite confident that the extreme heat has helped us. I don't think any virus can survive for long on any surface exposed to our roasting sunlight. But we are going into the rainy season, when most days will be cool and cloudy, so let’s get our act together ASAP.

I constantly say it when I go outside that if any virus can survive this heat, it is indestructible. Let us pray that we get this thing under control before the rainy season becomes advanced. On the other hand more rain means cleaner air, naturally disinfected.God help us all.

isthatso:
idiots like you is the reason why if this pandemic starts to manifest in Nigeria, we will have one of the worst stats in the world.

Yes I am an idiot. When you have at least one member of your family included in your own estimate I will applaud your brilliance.

chozzy:

Testing process is damn too slow.
Test kits are also insufficient

There may actually be over 5K cases
in Lagos alone

How many in your own family?

sirgigs:
Same challenge here. My in laws are 60+ and their Visas expires by May 4th.

We are just confused on what to do next

There are no more flights to US so there's nothing you can do except pray that situation is under control by end of April. In fact America knows that it is important to bring things back to normal in as short a time as possible else the economy will not be able to recover for at least 5 years. If you are a believer, pray for America.

isthatso:
as at march 22, the whole of Nigeria had only done 152 tests.

https://qz.com/africa/1824401/coronavirus-nigerias-cdc-has-conducted-only-153-tests/


Ask them for test they will tell you they only test people with symptoms.


South African was done 15000 tests and they have over 1000, Ghana with a lower population has more thatn Nigeria, Egypt has 495. There is no way Nigeria has only 63, they should stop fooling themselves and the rest of us. At the current ratio, if Nigeria did the same number of tests as SA, we will have 6500 cases.

Go and contribute all your family members to the cases nah. So that them go plenty well well . Abi whose family do you want them to use for your entertainment?

AroleOduduwa2:
The real figures will shock people, the FG and ministry involve have been downplaying how fast spreading this virus is.

Does anyone have it in your own family? If not where do you want them to go and find the "real figures". From somebody else's family? You educated Nigerians are amazing.

Kekekenny:
We all know the Covid-19 cases in naija are more than ds figures. Carefully releasing it not to create panic. We are aware of 15 new cases from Gbagada .But let me stop here. God is in control already

Is there anyone in your own family with COVID-19 ? If so do us a favor and report them to health authorities . Otherwise where are you cooking up your own figures from? Or you mean to say you wish there are thousands already infected in Nigeria and will happily for you die soon? These my Naija people are so terrible .

omowaleola:
Any update sir?

Remember that last week US Govt instructed all citizens and permanent residents worldwide to immediately return to US otherwise be ready to stay outside indefinitely. This is a warning that a total lockdown may be imminent in the very near future because they are expecting situation in the US to get worse. I don’t really want to send my 60+ years old to US at this time because they are the most vulnerable.

Kingosytex:
I think the pastor was right.

The church is made up of both literate and illiterate congregants.

Those who came for service might not have been aware of the situation on ground.

.

They have no point. MFM instructed pastors not to open church door but to pass instructions to people who come and to send them back home with prayer points. Winners chapel just decided to be defiant.

omowaleola:
Any update sir?

No update o, still negative. I am sure they mean well. Giving you visa at this time will just cause you more wahala. With this coronavirus problem, will it be safe enough to golive in US within 6 months? Yet you must use the visa within 6 months otherwise you have lost your Green Card. We can wait. Right now Nigeria still appears safer.

martyns303:
The US consulate in Nigeria has cancelled all non immigrant visa application appointments in Nigeria, this coming hours after the Nigerian government cancelled flights from 13 countries including the US.

Wrong information. The US Consulate has given notice of this since last week. It has nothing to do with Nigeria’s action

zichien:
1) Noone registers with DHL.
2) DHL dropbox is where all visas are dropped off. I
3) got an email from ustravel.doc ( which like I stated earlier on, i had already registered for pre-emptively by contacting US embassy email for a username and password about 3-4weeks ago prior to the interview date) that told me passport was ready for pickup.
4) I checked CEAC website which i have provided the link above, which told me passport "ISSUED"
5) Also on the us travel.doc website... there was a part for passport tracking which when you click showed that passport was ready for pickup.I mean if one has not registered for us travel .doc I dont know if you will still get an email?
---As long as CEAC and everything else says passport ready for pickup, if i were in your shoes I would go to the DHL dropbox office at VI to pick up my passport by faith, and start travel plans WIth all this coronavirus, if I were in your shoes I wont waste time on the internet, worrying ...and waiting for an email, when every indication is telling you that passport is ready for pickup.
---Alternatively you can figure out a way to contact the dropbox office at VI, maybe google it..or something, to confirm if your pass port is there.
or B) contact or call US embassy ( email, phone) to ask about your passport .

--Best of luck. Thats what I would do.. but hey I'm not you.So do whats best for you

The passport check on ustraveldoc site reports that there is no information on the passport. We will call tomorrow to check. I don’t think my aunt is afraid of a global lockdown. At this time Nigeria is one of the safest place to be in the world. Thanks

This is from the application form at ustraveldocs web site. Immigrant visa applicants will be notified when ready for collection.

I also think it should be the responsibility of DHL to alert you that you have your documents with them for collection. I am only using my common sense though . Nothing is going normally any more
