Stop shifting the goal post. you claimed some serious countries conduct 40,000 test in 24 hours. Name the countries.

Until you do, I insist you’re simply making false claim.

You are deliberately missing the point most likely for pecuniary gains.

The link says 40,000 in 2days. I initially said 40000 in 1day, and I have since posted the link and corrected that. That's a serious country with an average of 20,000 tests per day. Nigeria has done a total of 5000 tests since the pandemic started. The US has carried out over 3million tests. Ghana has carried out over 44,000 tests. Indeed the nation deserves it's leaders.

Ijaya123:
Your earlier claim stated that some countries conduct 40,000 test in a day which I countered by saying it is impossible. Now you're saying in 2 days.



I insist, stop making false claim.

Get serious and stop hiding behind your index finger making excuses for the government.

According to worldometers.info, Nigeria has shamelessly carried out just 5000 tests in total. That is an outrageous 24people per million. And you have no fear of God or conscience to defend this.

Ijaya123:
No country has ever tested 40,000 in a day. Be reall.

It's 2days. Wake up, Nigeria is sleeping as usual.

UAE announced on Monday that all visas, entry permits and Emirates ID cards will remain valid until the end of 2020, as the country battles the Covid-19 coronavirus.

Their age should be a worry to the government and the failed music industry and religious bodies.

babytoun:
Test per million ratio shows that nigeria has tested only 24 people per million . This is the third worst in the entire world which only betters the ratio of mozambique and Malawi

Even small Niger Republic has tested 4600

You know that our own test is the WHO approved own na. Those other countries are on their own.

Seun:
We've been told that it's difficult to do massive testing for the Coronavirus Disease in Nigeria. That we don't have the trained workers, technology, and money to do it like South Korea. This is why we've only conducted 5,000 tests in a country with a population of 195.9 million. This got me thinking about other African countries:

South Africa, with a population of 57.78 million, has conducted 80,085 tests.
Ghana, with a population of 29.77 million, has conducted 37,954 tests.
Egypt, with a population of 98.42 million, has conducted 25,000 tests.

Also, Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, is 9th in the list of African countries which have conducted the most tests. We are also 26th in the list of African countries that have conducted the most tests relative to the size of their population. Should we be conducting way more tests?

We don't really want to do the tests. We want the money and relief from our supporters and pity team. Serious countries are testing 40,000 per day.

UAE is flattening the Covid 19 curve. There's hope.

That Kano 1 is the saddest news of the day. You don't need a prophet to know that Kano will soon be second position behind Lagos if they don't overtake. May God have mercy.

And they'll say Naija is bless. Are these ones cursed? What's the meaning of audio bless?

Seun:
No he didn't. Boris Johnson and most Westerners believed the WHO's lie that only health workers needed to wear face-masks and other PPE.

It wasn't exactly a lie but a wrong assumption. They didn't know you could be a carrier of the virus and be asymptomatic.

pressplay411:
Donald Trump doesn't wear face masks though. And he's tested negative.
But better safe than sorry.

If anyone must leave home to go out, pls wear face masks and don't be careless. Even the face mask can become the contact point of the virus.

Donald Trump has not left the white house in weeks. It's easier to be dead than for any untested person to get 5m close to him at this time.

Mum ke.

MemoriesAndMe:
Where is the social distancing here? They were all shouting at close range without face masks, which makes everyone in the video guilty.

Exactly. All of them spitting on each other claiming law enforcement. This one needs orientation, maybe he didn't complete training before starting work. Ginger alone cannot curb covikk 1 9

Is the taskforce observing social distance or any personal protection? So many ignorant people in charge.

Nodogragra4me:
Mister , we are in coro matter . Why are the people prscriding the distancing in your developed society dying off like flies everyday? Why are the ones locked up in prison in America contracting the virus .
Go to Twitter , an American says he did everything right, self isolated and met just a person in ten days and still took the necessary precautions but ended up with Coro Buchi

He wants to know where he got it wrong . Is there any better distancing than isolation .

How many Nigerians have dropped dead since the first case was reported here . It took just a month in many developed nations from their first case to start recording deaths in hundred even with everything in place ...

Death from coro is a proof of not living right ... Can't stop stating it .... 90% of those who have recovered here in Nigeria did so without any intervention says NCDC... Why, lifestyle.

People are still meeting in large groups in Nigeria , Muslims are still defying the imposition and meeting and we are yet to have mass death ..why? Death from coro means death from your underlining illness not Coro .. if you killed yourself with sugar don't Balme coro.. if you did with cigarette, don't out the blame on Coro .. it has no such power

I hope you are not a government official the way you are defending this incompetence like your livelihood depends on it. You don't speak about people so crassly. Imagine if one of your family members was involved, you said they're dying like flies. That's very unthoughtful. The people dying in large numbers are people with unfounded self confidence like you. That's America, the main hub/influx being New York. And the majority are the poor blacks, over 50%. The statistics don't lie. Just two months ago, their government was in self denials and blame games, black people were beating chest everywhere that it is white man disease. Now, they are facing the music. Similar thing goes for most of the other place where WHO had unknowingly misled them that the virus could not be spread by humans and there's no need for protection if you don't have the coronavirus. Things are different now but rather late.
Instead of us to learn from them, we're mocking and speaking grammar claiming professor. If 1% the number of people that come into New York from all over the world daily before lockdown came to Cross River in a month, you will not be saying this. But in every thing, we thank God. Just stay safe, I can't shout. Nobody is paying me to shout.

Nodogragra4me:
Alright. Somebody kept arguing that mask is needless for the larger population. As for Ayade statement on mask , it is neither here nor there. Socialist distancing is not working in real life , at least, here in Nigeria.

Transport system still operate the old order. People still carry on with their old style of living ... China that just emerged from the crisis is back with their normal transport arrangements only with more stringent screening in some cases and fashionable face mask everywhere

Ayade is only been practical and empahsing what works rather than utopianism.

Why wouldn't it be utopian when we are too lazy to do normal. What is normal in other countries have always been utopian in Nigeria. Internet, good roads, potable water, good hospitals, prison, working justice system, no bribe before public officials work, these all remain utopian in Nigeria. And you keep defending such incompetence. People complain about Buhari's education, but our so called professors in government are obviously no better. A commander in chief of his state is encouraging people not to keep social distance in this global pandemic. I just pray God answers our prayers, because that's the only thing that sustains Nigeria, never government at any level.

In other words, he is incompetent for the task, just like 90% of them.

40,000 real tests in 2days, that's UAE. Less than 1% positive. How many tests have been carried out in Nigeria since the index case? No data. Maybe 1,000. Only God can help us.

In school, we used to say NFF means No Future Ambition. I think this is the NFF oh.

Nodogragra4me:
Virus to gain access in your system and contaminate it , it needs to gain access through the orifice ... nose and mouth, most prominent ... it doesn’t gain access through the skin of your face but your orifice including your eyes.

The easiest entrance is the mouth and nose ... you must have witness people talking and saliva jumping out of their mouth , sometimes landing very close to your lips if not inside your mouth .

Ayade opinion is Pragmatic... America and who remains undecided about who to wear face mask ...on says go on , the other says Only if your infected ....an infected not knowing his status can leave droplets of saliva where other may come into contact with it

Mask is bae

Nobody has issues with face mask. It was earlier on that WHO and others told us that you don't need to wear a face mask except you are infected or close to someone infected. They've since improved on telling everyone the need to wear a face mask. This is because of the asymptomatic nature of the disease. You can spread the disease without yet showing symptoms of the disease, so it's needful to wear the mask so that you don't spread the virus unknowingly. So no problem at all with mask.
The problem is Mr Ayade stating that there's no need for social distancing. He's very wrong and un-informed to say that. He needs to wake up and see what's going on in the world.

Ayade earned his B.Sc. (Honours) from the University of Ibadan in Ibadan, Nigeria (1984 - 1988). He then proceeded to obtain his M.sc in Microbiology (1989 - 1990) and subsequently his Ph.D in Environmental Microbiology from the same University of Ibadan (1990 - 1994), winning the Best Doctoral Dissertation Award in Environmental Microbiology. Ayade also has an MBA (2000 - 2002) from the prestigious Ambrose Ali University Ekpoma, Edo State. Ayade is a lawyer with a LLB Law Degree (2006 - 2010) from Delta State University Abraka.[4] Ayade went on to work as a lecturer at Delta State University, Abraka where he was subsequently appointed Professor
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_Ayade

Can you count how many times Ayade touched his face in that video? It proves that certificate is not a complete proof of knowledge. He displays no knowledge, not to mention wisdom which is the right application of knowledge. Those hands can infect his eyes and ears. We saw a senator remove mask to sneeze the other day.

This one is a science failure. He is like the famous ostrich hiding his head in the sand.

Jamin60:
the wisdom of God is speaking and you want to use human intelligence to comprehend it is not possible

Is pastor Chris the wisdom of God? Oga calm down jor.

Faith is not like that. Jesus had the lame man at the beautiful gate of the temple but never healed him. Abraham the father of faith didn't command famine to go away, he went to seek sustenance where there was food. Paul used a basket to escape, he didn't bind his assailants in Jesus name. God will help your wisdom.

OtemAtum:
This doesn't make sense. Jehovah is not a fictitious character and he is currently in a spiritual cage. The fictitious character is Jesus, do you get me?

Okay, Jehovah is real, Jesus is fictitious. You put Jehovah in a cage for centuries. You need rest. Don't quote me again, i'm not interested in the comedy.

Microwave radiation is just next to radio waves. We all know microwave can cook in 3minutes. For those saying radio waves are not harmful on the basis that they are not x-ray or alpha ray.

mrphysics:
Yeah, it's fine but you have to breathe well. We are all breathing in Nigeria, yet asking the government for amenities that will enable us breathe effectively.

For instance, I am in France, internet seem to be nothing here, telephone calls too, text messages. But in Nigeria, this is not the case. People pay high too for internet but get poor network, data that gets exhausted within hours.


You want us to keep living this way? Can you compare it's risk to the risk of driving from Abuja to Enugu or Lagos? How about the risk of driving from Abuja to Kaduna? Which one poses more risk than the other? 5G or the ones I mentioned?

5G. The others are a continuous choice. You have no choice with 5G.

Nothing from Kano ba? It's only elections they know there, not corona. It's okay oh. No problem.
