BENARI:
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.

Confirmedzombie:
With the increase in cases, i wish to renew my call for a Total lockdown.

Schools should remain shut.
All markets, churches should remain shut.

Airports should be shutdown now.

All industries should be shutdown.

Everyone should remain indoors while the federal govt should deploy the military.

The total lockdown should be for 8weeks.


American, UK, Canada, china, Italy, West Germany, France, Spain are all on Total lockdown.

We must implement same now in Nigeria.

May God heal our land.

I need much AMEN

Olafran6:
Head of Comedian, I don't think your eyes can see the tag "negotiable" on the post. If you have no business on this post, get the hell out. Stop exhibiting ignorance around.

KimVenom:
Please disregard any news about futo Resumption for now.

They is no resumption date yet even if they is am sure the academic calendar will be posted on the school official website. www.futo.edu.ng

It's not a crime for you to go back early though, you can clean up your room and get other stuffs ready on time to avoid deadline movements like my club man united.

Thank you.

Olafran6:
Price is 90k {negotiable}

SirWarlock:
yea that part . Unless I'm myopic or something and we're seriously understaffed, the no. of people in isolation (admission) is still kinda low which means the trend of Nigerians not getting really sick still continues . So for now it's still manageable maybe .

I appreciate your suggestion, man..
I've been doing some Googling on the Yoga series and it seems like a good brand. I personally like Lenovo; they build robust laptops just like Dell..
I'm just confused as to which model exactly to go for..

Reddington:
Hi, guys, I need a new laptop. I currently use HP Notebook 250 G5 (core i3) which was bought for me brand new by someone roughly 2 yrs ago. I can say the experience hasn't been a smooth one. The laptop started having keyboard issues after 2 months of use despite handling it with utmost carefulness.

The issue started with a key (left arrow key) and then spread to several keys randomly. I had to buy a wireless keyboard because virtually all the laptop engineers I contacted told me the keyboard would be extremely difficult to replace because it is a chiclet/island kind of keyboard. So I had to make do with the external keyboard for over a year and half now.

Long story short, woke up one morning to discover with bewilderment, a white horizontal line across the screen, this's in addition to the fact that the left arrow key goes haywire & continuously press itself sometimes, making the laptop virtually unusable. This is my first laptop, and I'm absolutely hating the experience. The stereotype is that most HP laptops are fragile, and based on my experience, it'll be very difficult to convince me to believe otherwise. This was a brand new laptop! HP is an insanely popular brand in the world of laptops, but I honestly think they're ridiculously overrated!

So back to my main aim of creating this thread; I need a brand new laptop, but I'm also willing to consider fairly-used ones if they're of the highest grade. Lenovo is my preferred choice, but I'm willing to consider other reliable brands too.

I'm looking out for the following attributes:

* Reliability & durability.
* Parts must be readily available in the market and very replaceable by competent engineers.
* Anything less than core i5 is unacceptable.
* A dedicated graphics card would be great, but not a must.
* Screen size must be 15.6 inches and above, with rich colours.
* On-screen time should be nothing less than 4.5hrs i.e battery must be solid.
* 8GB or 4GB RAM. If 4, it must be expandable.
* 500GB - 1TB Storage.
* SSD storage
* Mustn't be bulky.

My budget = N250-N300k

Laptop gurus/vendors, I need your help with recommendations, please.

Thank you!

So I was just reflecting on my past relationships remembering all the girls have been with in this my life. Some with nice character and others with character that can be rejected like a goat taken to the market for sale. In the course of this, I realized over 8 girls I have had a relationship with and we spent at least 6 months together, none of them have gotten married. The only one that got married was my first love. She's the one who even introduced me into sex and she got married to someone who was ready to marry her then while I just finished secondary school as at that time.

What could be wrong?
I mean these ladies are aging and not getting younger.
