God will have to health the Land, we have no capacity to handle this coronavirus , even the rich is just catching it easily

From the 40 case reported so far , I believe like 95 percent of them will have over 5million in there account (that why they can easily travel around the world) if this coronavirus cross over to the poor it will be a more serious thing

So beginning to take more precautionary measure

If by Friday we get to 65 Case then we should be planning and praying for the worst

May God heal Nigeria

NFF postpones football events for four weeks
•LMC puts league on hold
’Tosin Oluwalowo

The Federal Government has announced the suspension of all football activities in the country in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

This was contained in a letter signed by Director, Federation Elites Athletes Department in the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, Tayo Oreweme, and addressed to presidents and secretaries general of national sports federations on Wednesday.



The letter, titled ‘Suspension of all national and international competitions including qualification tournaments for Tokyo 2020 games,’ directed all federations to suspend all national and international competitions.

The order comes a day after the FG also postponed the 20th National Sports Festival, which was billed to start in Edo on Sunday.

“In the effort to further ensure safe health and wellbeing of all athletes and sports-loving Nigerians at large, I am directed to inform you that all National Sports Federations should suspend the organisation and/or participation in all national and international competitions, including qualification tournaments for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“Any federation that deems otherwise must seek express approval from the Office of the Honourable Minister.

“You are therefore advised to strictly comply with these directives until when the COVID-19 outbreak is put under control,” she said.

In the same vein, the Nigeria Football Federation has postponed all football activities in the country for four weeks.

The statement, which was released by the Media Department of the NFF on Wednesday, said all football activities including street football, would be put on hold.

“The Nigeria Football Federation has announced the cessation of all forms of football activities in the country for the next four weeks, as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic.



“According to the country’s supreme football –governing body, the shutdown affects all on-field activities the various National Teams, the Nigeria Professional Football League, the other Leagues, youth football programmes and even street football,” the statement read in part.

The federation also advised everyone to observe safety precautions as advised by the Federal Ministry of Health and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.

According to the NFF only the investigation committee into the death of Nasarawa United defender, Chineme Martins would be the only football activity allowed to hold.

The committee would submit their report within the next 10 days.

Meanwhile the League Management Committee has also suspended all Nigeria Professional League matches indefinitely.

The LMC announced the decision via a statement published on their website.

“NPFL has been suspended till further notice in line with global health preventive protocol against the coronavirus disease.

“In suspending remaining league matches, the LMC said it would review the decision after consulting the nation’s health authorities, namely, the Federal Ministry of Health and the NCDC,” the statement said.

As part of the preventive measures against the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Lagos State Government has announced the closing down of all public and private schools from Monday, March 23, 2020.

According to a statement signed by the Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folashade Adefisayo, the move became necessary to prevent children and their teachers from getting more vulnerable to the pandemic.



“It is important for parents to ensure that their children practise ‘social distancing’ while at home, wash their hands regularly or use hand sanitisers and observe high standards of personal hygiene. Children should be encouraged to remain at home.

“The closure is not intended to create panic but to arrest the spread of the disease, which has become a global threat,” the statement said.

let maintain healthy surrounding and others healthy measures with intensify sensitization on COVID-19. God will surely see us true this trying time

Researchers and infectious diseases experts across the world have warned that unless humans imbibe sound health practices, and until policymakers make level-headed policies, the spread of coronavirus will continue.

The health experts spoke as they expressed different opinion on whether or not warm weather could stem the spread of coronavirus or kill the virus altogether.

It may be recalled that President Donald Trump, during a meeting with American state governors at the White House in February, had said, “The heat, generally speaking, kills this kind of virus;” and that “it would be gone by April.”

The latest death toll from the coronavirus pandemic has risen to 5,764 spread across 137 countries and territories, according to an AFP tally based on official sources.

The worst affected countries in terms of fatalities are mainland China, with 3,189 deaths, Italy with 1,441 deaths, 611 in Iran and 183 in Spain.

Speaking on the expectation that warm weather could paralyse coronavirus, a Honorary Senior Lecturer in Virology and President of Research-Aid Networks at the University of Kent, Dr. Jeremy Rossman, warned that, contrary to what many people like to believe about coronavirus, warm weather is not likely to kill it.

Rossman, a virologist, said the assumption was based on the comparison of coronavirus with flu.

He made his opinion known in The Conversation, a network of not-for-profit media outlets that publish news stories written by academics and researchers.

The researcher said, “In many ways COVID-19 is like the flu – both spread in similar ways (respiratory secretions and contaminated surfaces) and both cause typically mild respiratory diseases that can develop into life-threatening pneumonia. But the transmissibility and severity of COVID-19 are much greater than the flu. And it isn’t clear if COVID-19 transmission will be affected by seasonal temperature variation.”

Health Expert at the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Nancy Messionnier, warned against assuming the number of cases will slow as the weather warms.

“I think it’s premature to assume that. We haven’t been through even a single year with this pathogen,” she warned.

This agrees with the submission of Professor of Pathology at the University of Hong Kong, Dr. John Nicholls, who said, “Because COVID-19 is so new, there is no natural immunity in the population and thus, all bets are off.”

Again, Harvard epidemiologist, Marc Lipsitch, warns that warmer weather “is not enough to slow transmission enough to make a big dent.”

He added, “New viruses have a temporary but important advantage — few or no individuals in the population are immune to them,” as is the case with the new coronavirus pandemic.

This is contrary to the opinion of an epidemiology expert at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Stefan Baral, who was quoted by the Boston Herald as saying he expects “a natural decrease” of the disease as America moves into warmer weather.

Nicholls, said there were three things coronavirus does not like — sunlight, temperature and humidity.

“Sunlight will cut the virus’s ability to grow in half, so the half-life will be 2.5 minutes, and in the dark it’s about 13 to 20 minutes. Sunlight is really good at killing viruses,” Nicholls said.

His view is corroborated by a virologist at Germany’s Centre for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research, Thomas Pietschmann.

Pietschmann said the coronavirus is “not very heat-resistant, which means that the virus quickly breaks down when temperatures rise.”

Rossman, however, maintained that it is not clear what effect temperature and humidity have on the coronavirus itself, nor on its transmission; noting, “It is highly unlikely that the weather itself will end this growing epidemic.”

Meanwhile, disease experts, in a publication in peer-reviewed Journal of Hospital Infection, note that coronavirus causes severe respiratory tract infections in humans, and that human-to-human transmissions have been described, with incubation times between two and 10 days, facilitating its spread via droplets, contaminated hands or surfaces.

The researchers were led by G. Kampf, of the University Medicine Greifswald, Institute for Hygiene and Environmental Medicine, Germany.

They advised that endemic human coronaviruses can persist on inanimate surfaces such as metal, glass or plastic for up to nine days, but can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures.

“As no specific therapies are available for SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus), early containment and prevention of further spread will be crucial to stop the ongoing outbreak and to control this novel infectious thread,” the German researchers said.

This is in agreement with the view of the director of the Global Health Programme at the Washington D.C.-based Council on Foreign Relations, Thomas Bollyky.

Bollyky warned, “Policymakers and health officials should not rely on warmer temperatures to save us from COVID-19.

“The only things that can do that are public health preparedness and level-headed policies to reduce the number of people infected, protect healthcare workers, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of those who do get ill.”

We have a president who has said nothing, not one word about this issue since the start, our borders are wide open as if to bring in even more of the virus - I'm weak!

Enter Pastor Adeboye - One of the most influential and respected Nigerians in the world, giving words of hope, prayers and lays emphasis on preventive measures in these trying times and Nigerian "woke" trigger-happy youths begin to insult him to his face! What in the hell!

I'm a youth as well and I must say I'm deeply worried for our generation! We have lost what little manners we had growing up, He's not just an elder, He's a man of God, you don't have to be religious to have simple moral ethics like respecting the elderly - while not all of us may believe in the supernatural, we all pray and hope for a better tomorrow and I dare say the words from some tongues are more potent than others - one of those tongues is that of Pastor Adeboye, There is a force behind him that has kept him at the pinnacle all these years - and that force is ever ready to curse as well as bless.

No one's saying you must agree to his ideas or bless him for them.... but don't curse him! don't invite curses to your lives.

God bless you at least your comment gave me hope of 1% reasonable youth in Nigerian social media space

Those that woke up on Sunday morning thanking God for life never knew that it's few hours to thier death , those that slept in their various house on Saturday night never new they will be homeless the next days , some never new they will be fatherless , motherless e.t.c . May God protect us all from this kind of unpredictable tragedy

I spent sometime today at the site of the tragic incident at Abule Ado. To give immediate relief and support to the victims of the disaster, I have set up a N2 billion Relief Fund to be chaired by Dr. Obafemi Hamzat. The state government has put in N250m into the fund immediately.

This incident is certainly beyond what government can independently pull off and we will count on your support to contribute to this fund as we work to provide succour for the victims of this unfortunate incident.

Here are the account details for the relief fund...

Health is paramount right now.

Sincerely, I could imagine what Liverpool’s players and supporters are going through right now,

Exit from Champions league only to run into the cold hands of Corona Virus.

Is the 30years wait over?
Only God knows..

Stay safe and healthy Nairalanders.

Liverpool looks like a curse is on them, for 30 yrs they have tried , sometimes they were very close like last season and this time they sacrifice all , drop out from F.A, Carling cup even champion league with the hope of ending 30 yrs record of failure and they have really done well won almost all their match and with just two wins to go then CORONA VIRUS (covid-19) appeared from no where , I just hope they will not abandon this season because April 3 is just 3weeks time, that too short for coronavirus to be over ,a decision will have to be made to either abandon or extend the suspension by April 3

So who will deliver Liverpool from the curse of 30yrs
