Our good old 9ja has never instituted a ban or automatic quarantine on anybody, including people from Wuhan!
For our having no corona,
THANK OUR WEATHER NOT GOVT!!!

*For the low-info people who keep mentioning Iran:
IRAN IS COLD! STOP COMPARING IRAN AND NIGERIA!!!
Average temp in Iran: 9.9C
Average temp in Nigeria: 26.1C

**FTC! FTC!!
I dedicate this FTC to our hot weather

U can be proud of Nigeria, I’m proud of Nigeria too.
But let’s not base it on a lie. All evidence is that Wuhan virus does not transmit in warmer areas. Even in Italy almost all the cases are in the cold northern regions (see below).
Countries have long banned flights from, or automatic quarantine for all high-incidence areas (see below - travel bans in US in February!). Nigeria has done none of that to date.
With this attitude just think what would have happened if our weather were cold!
By the way our rainy season is not cold. Nigeria never gets cold the way we’re talking about.
THANK OUR WEATHER NOT ANY GOVT.!!!

Saddist spotted.

Press release from TCN. Braze up for the inconvenience guys

KEVIND:
RIP to our gallant soldiers.
Meanwhile,

On Buhari’s $22.7 Billion Loan.

The North is too greedy (70% of the loan is for the North). The funny aspect is that resources from the Niger delta will be use to pay back 90% of the loan.The North will contribute absolutely nothing to the repayment plan.

How can my neighbor borrow money to develop his land for his children and my children will be responsible in paying back the loans while his children contribute nothing! What benefit does the South derive from the North?
I think the south especially the Niger deltans are very foolish. Very, Very Foolish indeed!

Igbo boy spotted. You sound pained, Nigeria will grow whether you like it or not

englishmart:
The Federal government doesn't care one bit about our lives. They have displayed it on several occasions. Up till now, the government hasn't placed a ban on China from entering the country. This is a very wrong time for Abba Kyari to be president.
That man has contacted a lot of people who have also mixed up with lots and so on. Buhari is too nonchalant and Islamic to be a councillor in a sane LGA.

What is this one saying. Just say that you are sad that the virus is been contained. Saddist

JasonScoolari:
Nigeria has always been a laughing stock the very day GEJ handled over to the CLOWN himself..

-Imagine an acting chairman of the EFCC saying that he strongly believe that Corruption is the cause of Corona Virus.

-Minister of Transportation also made a ridiculous comment that he doesn't like money.

-Femi Adesina gave his own ridiculous statement about how Buhari body language made the Super Falcons lift the nation's cup.

-Lai Mohammed? We all know that one.

-Audu Ogbeh came up with something more disgraceful.... "We will make pencils in Nigeria by 2018"

I bet you did not read that article.

Fasindo:










Its a pity.

Those saying that Boko Haram are also attacking Muslims should come and explain why the didn't attack any mosque in Garkida

All those major town that boko harm has been attacking are majorly Christian town.

85% of Chibok people are Christians same with this Garkida

Its no longer ethnic, its now religious. Oponu

seunlayi:
Just imagine the situation this unholy union has brought upon us all

Please leave if you want to.

No he should tear his clothes and throw ashes on his own head because terrorists are killing their kinds right? Hiss

Is this one alright

Davash222:
Na this kind talk dey vex Shekau. Expect attacks from BH this weekend.

Dear Shekau, abeg no mind Buratai, na old age dey worry him.

Are you supporting BH or Nigeria. Ayam not understanding

flyca:
China is a notoriously lying country!
They have been known to manipulate figures, since the beginning of times. They have been pushing down the actual figures of corona virus victims by at least 1:200. Many have died in thousands, many are still dying in thousands. According to foreign sources, the pandemic has not yet peaked and since it is a communist country, free press is banned so you will never know.

So if you (And Uncle Laya Mhmd) hope that China will tell you the truth about the virus, I laugh at your ignorance!

Nigeria should do what every sane country has done, go get your citizens out of that country, quarantine them in Nigeria for 14 days and then free them. All these other grammar is meaningless!

Also note Sept 2014 during Ebola, China quarantined Nigerians for about 3 weeks in my school then. No, Nigerian govt did not look for them. So we are also known for abandoning our citizens in the time of crises.

Na wa oooo. I can see you are sad about the development. Kuku go and bring the virus and give your family to consume

Officialgarri:
No doubt that Yorubas are blessed with Education and that's why they don't have problem cohabiting with other tribes.

Education gives you a natural sense of tolerance either by tribe or religion.

That being said, I'd like to know the contribution and the career success of graduates of that school.

Men, if na that one, they are doing so well relatively

BERNIMOORE:
Op poor you, old cars of 2017 chech the 3rd picture you posted was ridled with bulled when he was attacked in lokoja by yaya Bello boys....you guys keep repeating his old pictures. He never denied owning them...now you switch to Acquire..habaa

What rubbish is this one saying. Where are the bullet holes?

Amakavula:
I noticed this a lot, like Nigerian men are petrified of pretty women.

Been on dates were the guy stammers for hours.... another one where the guy's hands keep shaking like wtf..

I noticed guys are afraid to approach me; like you see them gathering and planning who would come talk to me, but none ever grew enough courage.

Took my friend's sister to an audition once ( cos I drive) and all the dudes where just saying hi like over 10× and smiling sheepishly without one with enough courage to talk. Even the one that tried struggled.

Is this a self esteem issue?

Why are you waisting your time bringing this issue to a platform filled with inexperienced lazy guys. I don't know you but I think you need to mingle with the right people.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Seems u are praying for it to be in this country abi

Nothing we no go see from Nigerians. Kuku go and bring it and share to your village

WATCHOVER:
Jonathan once made such a statement but buhari and his supporters started calling him a weakling.
Now is their turn to suffer.
Jonathan is a righteous man curse be on anyone who curse him but blessings to those who zsupported him

I can see you are excited. Funny Nigerians

You guys are thieves. I built mine with 1.3 million

victorazyvictor:
That's was not the reason why he is in the prison, besides no Abia gvno has ever done quarter of what OU did in Abia.

He is in prison simply because he lied to Buhari that he will bring Nnamdi Kanu to his kneels.

People That Chew Their Finger Nails Excessively Are Not Ordinary

The door and window of criticisms are open. So feel free to say whatsoever you want to say.

Anyone that has short finger nails take note of these facts, but put in mind that....

I'm not a scientist, let alone an expert, however experience has taught me more about humans, and as such I've seen some traits in humans that correlate with my personality. I study people in a subtle way that does not involve their attention, and I take note of anything considered 'unusual' 'rare' to find. I make sure I get a consistent result by extending this study to other people and to myself. If they're all the same I then arrive at my conclusion.

I know we have bunch of Nairalanders here that chew their nails like there's no tomorrow and I'm hoping and believing that they can openly attest to these facts that I am about to share.

1.These people are extraordinarily intelligent and most of them are good at Math.

2. Chewing their fingers in any settings help them concentrate even more better.

3.They are mostly shy and introverts. They don't talk too much; they talk less.

4.They are hypocrites and pretentious. Hardly can you suspect them due to their quite nature.

5.When it comes to high sex drive, rank these people as number one!

6.They are unpredictable.

7. They are highly creative, imaginative and possess great insights to human's problems.

You just described me 100% correct

sarrki:
I voted for him based on security

That’s my yard stick to measure this government

It’s a personal opinion

I am also entitled to it

If Boko Haram can’t be tamed , armed banditry and kidnappings with the billions of Naira

Ow do you want me to believe anything again

His is this issue now related to bokoharam or insecurity. This goes back to the advise given to you, try to be objective and apply critical reasoning before wailing. You get it?

yanabasee:
I hope there's Keke to take them to markets and work.... Giving them house and having them trek distance without any set alternative to aid transportation is evil......

And you have made sense in your opinion ?

hisexcellency34:
Have you seen any Fulani herdsmen jailed?

Foolish people, always changing mouth. Firstly, the question on your lips were, 'have you seen any herdsman arrested'.

BORDER CLOSURE: THE FATE OF PETER - A ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL SCENARIO.

Lagos is what it is, because of its proximity to the seaport, so also is the border to many communities, town and villages which have existed close to it. The border closure to those living very close to the border is more like shutting down the seaport in Lagos. Sure, transport workers would be affected, those who earn a living around the port would surely lose their businesses, the rich would become poor, likewise the poor become poorer.

15 out of the 36 States in Nigeria has communities which has since it's origin built their day to day living around the border. Either those who specialize in transporting goods from the borders, to those who Warehouse them, to those who haulage the goods to and fro between the vehicles and the warehouse to Mama-Put who is waiting for the labourers to retire to her shed as they celebrate their day pay, to the business man who lodged in an hotel monitoring the goods to ensuring they are intact, to the mechanic who prays one of those vehicles running haulage comes to service their vehicle, to the spare part seller, to the provision sellers that believes more money in circulation would stimulate her business and the little kid who was driven from school hoping his parents would have made enough sales to pay a part of his school fee, to the principal, teachers, printer, tutorial coach and the list is endless.

Then it hits them so hard that the border where their incomes comes from been closed. At first, everyone keeps hoping high, hoping the border closure won't last more than few days, everyone is smiling not knowing the kind of situation and mess that lies ahead. Spendings are still as though nothing happened. Hopes are high, expectations and optimism eventually losing momentum like a spinning fan which has been disconnected from electricity. The longer their hopes linger, the more their ability to stay hopeful fades. Hope deferred makes the heart sick.

As times goes on, businesses fold up, the town's become deserted, loans cannot be paid, properties are confisticated, dehumanizing thoughts rage, people take to drugs to subside tension and griefs. The young boy who gets enough income to sustain himself has no where to run to. Crimes in the society begins to be on the rise and as he tune to his television having ran out of DSTV subscription, he finds on NTA a well dressed man with nice trimmed beard saying to him, how the border closure has boost production in his company. Its merely a scenario of Peter robbing Paul the poor boy reflects as he feel the whole narrative was a scam. While Peter is lamenting seeking media attention to express his ordeal. The media are after Paul who is rejoicing that the economy is booming since that's the purpose of their existence.

Comparative advantage was one of those favorite topic my economics mind would never forget, in comparative advantage, we are told that, its better that a country produce a goods if its final price would be lesser or equal to that from another location.

So far so good, ever since the closure of the border, cost of rice has skyrocketed despite the fact that the quality of the locally produced rice is lower and the stones which are a bonus too.

Well, I am not really against border closure, at least why do we have leaders if they can't come up with policies. At least, policies are policies whether they favour the dying man or not. But my bullseye is this, now that the border has been closed. How would those who are affected survive?

The disadvantages associated with opening the borders are also endless.

Knowing he smokes. I never seen a responsible Nigerian man that smoked

I smoke and I am very responsible.

We Kwarans are happy with what our governor is doing, every non Kwara citizen who is sad will die of sadness including the writer of the fake news. We are grounding Saraki dynasty forever.

I am a kwaran and supporter of APC, I honestly do not like the Governors action on ile arugbo.

jaxxy:
Customs deals with importation and what currency do we majorly or globally import in naira or dollars?

Do you pay dollars to Nigeria customs. I believe we pay naira and not dollars. There is no need for the fx conversion. Lets praise this government whenever they get it right. Simple!

jaxxy:
Very smart analysis.

This is a very sack analysis. Abi you people no go school. Did you earn custom revenue in dollars. Why the need for conversion

GamalNasser:
Convert this figure to dollars you will see the Nigerian customs of has been in reality earning less since 2014 .. in 2014 Nigerians customs revenue was 978. Billion naira and when converted into 2014 dollar it comes to 5.9 billion dollars and the compare with a conversion of 2019 revenue of 1.3 trillion naira which comes to 3.6 billion dollars meaning there is a drop in value of 2.3 billion dollars which means the customs is actually earning far less ... Buhari is a total failure

What kind of analysis is this. Customs revenue is mainly naira. So we should compare apples. Or am I missing something here?

baliyubla:
This is really touching. Further exposes the fact that our dear country is losing the war to these extremists and Buhari is helpless.

This is a time where Nigerians for once must keep tribal and religious sentiments aside to vote out the incompetent Buhari. The man has failed abysmally in every thermometer used in measuring governance.

Is that what you can make out of the touching write up. The annoying part was that you further stressed the part that we should keep tribal and religious sentiments aside.

Is it not an impressive one from this Government that they have been able to keep the soldiers motivated to fight this deadly terrorists and consequently keep its citizens safe.

I am very sad at the quality of men we have in this country.

God bless our soldiers and God bless Nigeria.
