it won't be farfetched to assume there is a cover up. After all, Yar'adua was dead and these people kept lying to us.

At least, with Buhari, no matter how much they tell lies, Kyari will not be around to hold the forte, so, it will expire soon

Reno claims a ventilator has been moved to Aso Rock, we wonder if it is for the same Kyari they plan to move to Lagos.

Thought you guys were saying Nigeria was well prepared

This ailment for now can only be treated in Lagos and Abuja. How about it comes to 10,000 patients
The government neglect of our health care system is getting exposed

I am just scared me don't pity the cabals and top politicians...the innocent average man in the streets I just don't understand why all this things are happening

GamalNasser:
But Abba Kyari didn't pray for Atikus son .. NIGERIANS need to learn to elect smart people with empathy not dullards with heart of stone

Exactly
On a brighter note osibanjo should have been the one to attend that meeting in Germany but over sabi nor let kyari see road...

They wanna sideline the vice president the chief now represents the president outside the country

Me don't really feel pity for him

This was my comment January, 30, 2020.

You can see how much time we had to prepare and get things right but this incompetent government chose to play football with people's lives.

I think it is time we wake up and fight for positions in this country. If we continue allowing selfish fools to run our lives, we will pay the cost of their stupidity.

Let this be a lesson to us and time we seek for the right leaders to run this country.
Men of high intellect and moral standing.

This has been a terrible episode.


All we can do now is to pray for a miracle.

I tell you my brother
was shocked yesterday to read of about 35 senators who just returned from the UK on a meeting refusing to be tested at the airport

it has become clear that the reason why flights from some high risk countries where not banned on time it was because of the politicians kids and family members they had to wait for them to return bunch of callous folks ruling us.......

CornOak:
As I am typing this, I can see international flights approach landing. The thing weak me.

Just imagine

some said last night there were no medical personnel to screen the returnee

and the naughty guy there is telling me no country shuts its borders against her citizens at a time like this...

some people like buhari have lost touch with reality...

it is so unfortunate this government is really exposing us to dangers

safarigirl:
not hard.

Impossible

Most people think Lagos is Milan.

People that can only feed on what they make each day, no savings, nothing. Let God help them.

They will need to enforce such a law with police, and I can assure you that the police willll not be everywhere. So, those low income households, will maneuver their way through such. Imagine somewhere like Makoko on lock down.

Let us see how far it will go.


I cannot sha waste my stress on top this Corona virus. The theory of natural selection will apply, if you survive it, you survive it. Upon all the restrictions Italy put up, they are still recording hundreds of new cases.

AllforJesus, I hope you are now happy and fulfilled in life, since you have been stalking me for my opinion. Drink water and rest

so you know this things

it really baffles me the way you and some persons here were defending a government that could expose his people to this kind of risks

it is so unfortunate even Kaduna state governor seems to have more sense than the senile old man inside aso rock

the wife even have more sense than him...you too given the support and opportunity you'll rule better than the old man that know nothing about contemporary governance.

Neobulletzz:
Clown
Where did you see me defending the government? I only stated the obvious, ask anywhere, you dey there dey mumu yourself, country fit close border for foreigners not its citizen

Bros go and sleep

you don't have what to say...

I asked you what's the meaning of a country being locked down and you evaded it

you should be reasonable enough to engage me in a discussion of this kind

Neobulletzz:
Bro stop saying what you don’t know. No country would shut down it's border against it’s citizens. Yes in USA an indigene can come in but foreigner, NO

Ohhh lawd
when a country is lock down what's the meaning mister know.

please go make research I have relatives and friends in Italy and others whom I relate with to find out info

so please you can keep defending your clueless government

andrewbaba44:
But lagos airport have been shutted down nah

Bro forget this clueless folks called Nigeria government how come a flight returned from the UK yesterday and there was no one to test them at the airport

chrisooblog:
it is difficult to say a country citizens should not come back into the country.

For the woman who went to Benin that is an example of the irresponsible behaviour I spoke about. She came back from Italy where they are seriously battling this thing and she thought it was a good idea to hop on a bus when she should have isolated herself? The only thing I blame the government for is not using the military and other security agencies to enforce this self-isolation because some Nigerians just refuse to have sense

are you for real....so that's the only thing you blamed the government for? ??
you mean this irresponsible government?

how will see quarantine herself are there quarantine centres? to accomodate the large number of influx daily

don't you know that there is an incubation period the carrier won't even know he or she is positive

the government is to be blamed... how about America shutting down flights from Europe... even if her citizens are there...they should remain there for the time being

does it mean they're not loved No...

this government lack the intellectual competence to govern

yesterday some one complained of his friend returning from the UK and there was no one to test him at the airport

does that speak of a responsible governemt to you
why can't you guys just say it..
that the government irresponsible behaviour contributed to this state

below picture is onitsha main market as at today

chrisooblog:
the flight coming inside are for Nigerian Nationals. Most of those coming in should behave responsibly and stay in their houses for 14 days is that so hard to ask for?

bro...this doesn't make sense

everyone should stay where they are right now.

the lady that took it to Benin just returned from abroad and she used God is Good...just imagine how many folks she must have given it to prior she arrive home for quarantine? ??

the government is not serious at all.... I keep saying it. even here in FCT the minister is not doing or taking any reasonable action like a governor

tbaba1234:
Only Nigerians are allowed in..

just imagine what you wrote

does the virus spreads with nationality sterotype
why can't this folks stay where there...besides many who are bringing it in now are Nigerians whom I believe contacts this at the airport

in Italy for now my cousin told me you can't fly in
can the Americans in Europe notably Italy fly into the USA at this critical hour??

besides why were there no health personnel to test/screen them at the airport

this incompetency is getting annoying
up till now flights are still allowed in from the UK

even as at today there were reports of some law makers refusing to be screened prior their arrival from abroad at the airport

mostob:
OK . Then use your brain find the vaccine please.
See ehn, Those calling and praying to God about this virus are not over religious.
Faith without work is dead likewise work without faith is dead.

you wasting your time talking to people who see Christianity as a ritual for prime minister of Italy to be crying on national TV and asking God to intervene shows that this world leaders despite all their efforts they know only God can save and grants break through.

even Trump declared a day of prayer for Americans to pray and I am so sure some naughty folks here would have abused Nigeria to be over religious country if the government had done same.

please don't mind them...like I said I have seen God work and I know what He can do, so I will.keep my trust in Him even at a worst time than this

andrewbaba44:
Ok

sorry for being harsh with my words

andrewbaba44:
I am a Christian bro Okay

When you guys have no point to say you result in calling someone saying the truth and atheist

Yes we are our own problem because we choose to believe in something we know nothing about

Funny people

The truth is bitter

your truth is bitter.

what do you think is the TRUTH

the TRUTH is the person of Jesus John 14.1

and the TRUTH is not bitter because David said he has tasted and see that the Lord is Good....

so brother grow your relationship with God because right now it seems you don't know him and what he can do

soetanoreoluwa:
You no nothing. However Jesus loves you.

He knows nothing...sometimes you can easily deduce how people reason.

andrewbaba44:
Oya nah make God stop the virus nah


Or say una pastors for Nigeria no dey pray ?

If science find cure to this now instead of the deluded religious people to give them kudos ,they will prefer to give kudos to their God that didn’t do anything

Abeg bros make I hear word oooo

you talk ignorantly.

someone that reason straight will understand that God is the one that gives us wisdom so that we will give him rest...


God does not work all by itself he uses people, same way the Devil uses people and if God wanna put an end to the virus he will use people/scientists to bring a lasting solution

just like Trump who declared a day of prayer for the US Italy now turns to God for help

and some peeps who don't know their left from right still cry and try ro rationalize the need for God intervention at a time like this....

Subzero047:
One thing I like about this disease is that it will destroy the stranglehold of religion on people

No...it will make people to trust and believe in God more.
I have seen God do great things in my life...remember I was once hospitalized for 4 years, completely lost faith in my surivival.

but God came for me, it was then I got to know who Jesus is and received him into my life...my healing was a Miracle and even the doctor confirmed it then in UBTH.

I laugh when I see you guys downplay God's power and love.....I don't blame you guys much because a man can only say what he knows.

one who has a relationship with God knows that this things are all in the Bible and God has assured us in psalm 91 of how to hold on.

you can say or ask ...how about the Americans, Italians and others

the truth is Walk with God is a personal walk and God does not respect persons...the eye he looks at the pope is same way he looks at you... and How well you know him tells how much you'll get from him....

I believe and I keep saying it God is our only hope this trying times in as much as we observe the safety measures introduced by the government we must keep praying and declaring faith filled words

LaMujer:
Nigerians love to panic generally.

Before the virus came in, Ehanire was always on TV assuring us. This was even in the thickness of Lassa fever. Even at that, majority still believe it to be a lie. That's why I say, we don't appreciate what they do. Ehanire works for FG sir, not LASG. We are conditioned to think negatively about efforts of the FG. Someone mentioned up there that it grows fast in Burkina. Burkina also have almost the same climate as Nigeria.

I'm not saying the FG have done splendidly, they haven't, they have lapses, but we shouldn't downplay the efforts of the FG like they have been doing nothing.


It's FG that owns NCDC, and I see Ehanire at different places, enlightening the populace. That's FG, not LASG. Because they use Lagos doesn't make the glory that of LASG

I don't blame ehanire...the man is doing the limit to what he can do...the SSG is a top shot in the system he barely dictates to the minister's I am sincerely angry with the president failure to close the border this new cases are all from high risk countries and had it been border was closed some would have been avoided and you can't even tell those that came in on Thursday yet because I am sure there will be likely suspect cases and mind some Nigerians might have as well contact this virus at the airport in their bid to travel back home from this high risk countries

Joebie:
Where did Nigeria borrow the religion from?

please don't mind her.
me don't even care Christian, Muslim or ATR anyone you serve in please pray well because only God can help us the way things are right now

even I was expecting the consumer protection council to regulate the price of hand sanitizer and face mask but still nothing is being done seriously

safarigirl:
Leave God out of your ramblings. The head of the Catholic Church is in Italy, the head of thee Anglican church is in UK, but you, in Nigeria, thet
are practicing borrowed religions, think God has a special place for you and is protecting you from the virus.

Just take care of yourself.

my Dear...I won't leave him out of this ooo

he is my only hope....if this virus was to spread in Nigeria the way it is spreading in Italy we will be in trouble serious trouble

up till now few cases have been confirmed though I know there may be others out there not yet reported

if you really read about corona virus and the way it spreads....you'll know that living in a place like Lagos and having to use public transport it takes just God to avoid this thing

somehow:
Chai

Missing in action
It's been a very busy 2020 for me so far
We are grateful the impact of the virus in Nigeria has not really been devastating with prior knowledge gathered from the Ebola crisis.

Hopefully we will do more to weather the storm.

It has already reduced in China, it will surely happen everywhere else as long as they do the right thing.

Europe is getting hit the more due to their ageing population, Africa is the youngest continent in terms of population age, maybe this is why we have not been too hit..

it could be bro....

tbaba1234:
It is rising quickly.. stay in your homes...

this are the reported cases

why do you think I am scared...

someone mentioned of a lady in Abuja who happened to return lately from the UK having all the symptoms of Convid-19 but administering self treatment don't know it to b true but I wont doubt it much

there others not reported out there....

if the government have closed and banned flights from high risk countries long enough this won't have been this bad and moreover many who contact this thing did so at the airport some should have just stayed back

andrewbaba44:
They should shut down the airport, Nigeria is a very useless country


Whats stopping them from shutting down the airport since ?

Many African countries have shut down their airport, and we are waiting till Monday before we close the Lagos international airport and Abuja . even the others international airport which is Kano and enugu have been shut down

We can only try our best staying at home but we cant stay at home fully because we need to go outside to get somethings , is there even light to stay at home ?

How many things do you wanna stock in your fridge in Nigeria using generator to power it, how often does nepa bring light that they want us to stay in our home

We are stuck in this for now

please don't mind him....
he stays outside the country..in a state where things works and still spill the words that Nigeria was doing better in data management than the USA just imagine...

wish he was living in one of the over crowded place in Lagos would have take him serious.....

some here act as they've been blind to this government cluelesness even the last government too was clueless it was the heroic effort of the late Doc. that saved our ass... and not Jonathan and his gang of thieves even though the Lagos state government did quite a good job.

Neobulletzz:
Bro stop saying the president wait for his daughter. No country would close it's border against it citizens, not even you. Borders can only be closed against foreigners

I hear you...planes are still landing up till yesterday.

but the hypocrite of a leader refused to evacuate Nigerians in wahun...
and south Africa during the last xenophobia crisis

safarigirl:
Leave Him to be waiting

He should come and tell us whoat the governments of his preferred countries have been doing. Maybe he should move over to Italy and enjoy the benefits of good governance there, or the UK that is owing NHS staff.

you better know had it been this clueless folks where the ones heading the UK and Italian government it would have been worse than the way It was now.

the virus has not done much harm to us is just God...and not the clueless government that act too late and up till now how many test kits do we have around though the NCDC released their hot lines but considering the crowded nature of Nigeria society and all if the virus was to spread the way the scientist labelled it...then almost everyone in Lagos and high crowded areas in Abuja will have it

soetanoreoluwa:
To be candid they are doing well but the dicey of they particular disease is the problem... Some people with the disease ain't using symptoms which is the problem... Now people are coming thru land border. Which tested to positive to the virus. Closing of our boarder late is the problem.

Now they are still looking for 1500+ contacts...
Note : one of the Thursday patient doesn't have any history of traveling and yet he's positive..

Then I ask again how many people are we testing day?

Just praying we don't experience what Italy, Spain and Germany are currently experiencing now.

Thanks bro....you wrote the truth.

I hate It when people can say the truth...

what you wrote there is same fear and grieve i had.
I saw somewhere though not yet verified that the presidency had to wait for his daughter to return prior closing the border and banning of flights....

even few days back there was fire explosion in Lagos this man didnt visit neither did he give state house address to this and also same week he was at the commissioning of the NCC annex buildling

some here arguing for this government won't tolerate these folks manage their own companies and business.

LaMujer:
We don't appreciate anything Nigerian. We've been conditioned to think that.

Italy, a first world country already has more death than china, the index country. Americans are lamenting about Trumps response to the virus. Countries that have better facilities haven't taken care of the virus as Nigerian have. But the average Nigerian, conditioned to think negative of the country is pessimistic about all the country has done. And are of the school of thought that they're hiding cases.

Someone was confidently saying on NL yesterday that WHO reported that Nigeria has over 1000 cases, make she bring proof, she started dabbling.

Italy no plenty reach Nigeria, not as big as Nigeria, and have better facilities than Nigeria, but look at their infection rate and even death rate.

Who is to say Italy are not suppressing numbers too?

SMH. The negativity, under the guise of realism

if you really know about This virus you will know that it flourish in temperate regions and Italians are Chane smokers, so me not surprised at the rate of death....there.

moreover I will rather thank God for everything so far because this government really fall behind in handling this virus the Americans who tested positive in Lagos came through the land border and others subsequent cases all flew in

up till now flights from some European countries is still allowed and how many test kits are available

go to transcorp hotel in Abuja and see the number of Europeans notabls Italians they flew in this week


I really think the only government worthy of commendation thus far is the Lagos government same way they tried with the Ebola but the federal government non-challant attitude just pleased Nigerians on panic mode

tbaba1234:
Nigeria had one of the best Airport arrangements. Better than the US and some European countries for a long time.The travel record, contact information and body temperature of travellers were taken. That is how, they have been able to track many of the contacts. They even went above when was done during the Ebola crisis.

I know, they did that well at least.

who is telling this lies

I am so surprised

I have watched the Lagos state commissioner for health lament on difficulties in tracking this suspected cases for insolation and testing especially on the last plan where the 30 years old lady was tested positive on the 13th March. he even went on twitter to plea with the folks on board

on the first italian he laments on some contacts not been reached probably they gave wrong addresses I watched this live on TV

mr. tlaba you really scare me with those words.

I believe this virus Is currently spreading in Nigeria so many may be treating it like malaria/fever and moreover i think there is something peculiar with the tropics unlike the temperate regions this virus would have spread so fast by now..and moreover God is just helping us in nigeria I wont lie because the Lagos state government have been trying though but the federal government compacency to respond fast is not something anyone should be proud of

the FIRS staff who test positive in Abuja can in via the London flight too his wife and kids all negative which I will say it was a Miracle because they had contacts with him

Joebie:
Even the government in the US is being criticized. No where is perfect, but ineptitude get different levels lol

I tell you my brother....
even the US government address it's citizens every now and then and even shared the sum of $1 Trillion for her citizens
even Zimbabwe closed her borders long prior now despite not recording any corona virus case yet


but here the president still haven't addressed the citizens after leaving the border opened up till today and still selecting the countries to ban currently 15 forgetting that this Europeans with EU passports can leave from with their country passports from some other countries to Africa.
