Kellie069: In case the lockdown is extended by presidential briefing later today, please let’s adhere ! I know it’s not easy for most of us right now , but the only way to curtail this whole virus is to stay safe and stay home!!! I hope everything ends soon!!!! Hopefully , we will soon return to our normal life.. hopefully soon
EzePromoe: Olodo doesn't know that he must have tested positive to the virus for him to be on quarantine. What am I saying sef? It seems many Nigerians don't know the meaning of quarantine.
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!!!
You will go into isolation if you test positive.!!!
anigbajumo: Oga stop saying all these things.Did u prefer to start work and kiss the diesease or stay indoor and battle with hunger.Since all these days with lockdown av not seen anyone die of hunger na Tuesday I broke my pigi bank not that I get money but I prefer to stay indoor than to go carry disease in the name of hunger.If u dey follow all these foregin media u will knw the best thing is to stay home and stay safe.America and Italy could av prefer complete lockdown since early days than counting death everyday.If the cases is triggered like that of European countries, nobody will beg u to stay indoor.
FG Should av distributes testing kits to each of the local government of the federation and announce total lockdown for next 3 weeks,that will be the best strategy to map out those that av have the disease even at asymptomatic stage.
You will come outside when army robbers come knock your door..
kikero: Politicians around the world are taking such measures because if someone dies of COVID19 under loosened measures, all it takes is his or her relatives screaming 'The government let my relation die by not taking strict measures'...which can cause enough anger to lose elections...among other things.
The economic crisis too is a threat , but someone dying packs a powerful emotional punch.
As you said, we are between the devil and the deep blue sea.
You think govt will see anybody screaming at the moment.. The focus shoukd be to keep the economy running while people look for ways to stay safe.
Galactico4ever: Personally I think total lockdown all over the country till the end of april is essential to allow NCDC to speed up contact tracing and testing. As for me,i'll only step out for groceries,gas&fuel untill...
If they lock down till Dec - they will nkt reverse the trend.
It's the elite that are transporting the virus even during the lock down..
post=88313413: We believe It is for everyone's good health. If LOCKDOWN came early in Italy, USA and the other countries severely affected by Coronavirus, it won't be as deadly as this.
Palliative measures is all we ask for, for the poor among Nigerians and those that make their daily bread selling on a daily basis.
We wish the last 2 presidents before our darling Daddy were named Obama and Clinton that left trillions of dollars in America treasury before they left and nothing like looting or theft was heard of. That is the only way Donald could ever had something to fall back on to be able to share 2 trillion dollars for all Americans in this pandemic period. But in our darling nation, the last 2 presidents and their cronies looted our national treasury dry and out. The Excess Crude Account was looted dry. Foreign reserves drawn down. Federation Account, emptied. And the economy was set on an irreversible path to recession. And they say; don't talk about it. Focus on the present and the future only. How we miss Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. He would have said: "I go shout o, I go shout plenty o." If we don't focus on the past, we are then liable to make the same mistakes. "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." (George Santayana). Truth is bitter. There was a country! We will survive this deadly virus. We will win this war. We Rise!
This is a second tenure for goodness sake - how well has this govt re funded this accounts.
Tjey are focusing on the past and driving us over the edge of a cliff..
poshestmina: Wike is the Governor and Chief Security Officer of Rivers State and so can, should and has done the right thing to protect his territory.
What exactly was the mission of the helicopter and who were the passengers?
Their Sinister , unknown mission is highly suspicious.
Why does Lagos State government have right to arrest and prosecute Funke Akindele etc for breaking the Lockdown Regulations and Rivers State government can't arrest and prosecute people for same offences?
SMH
What business is more important than the health of Rivers State people at this particular point in time? Wike has done well and we are in support of it.
Everybody stay in your state till all of this is over ,it's not that hard!!!!.
Pls stay in romance and jobs vacancies section--you are likely to embarrass yourself while making comments on crime and politics sections
By the way go and read up the exclusive list and the legislative list in the Nigerian constitution.. You pribably won't be talking about funke akindeld - her case is not related in any way to this..
Xisnin: If a put a stop on their allocation, how does that affect Wike? OBJ had issues with Tinubu then, I don't remember Tinubu being personally affected.
There is nothing Buhari can do to any serving state governor.
Okeytus: So they have FG approval to fly into Rivers but when the pandemic escalates in Rivers, the state government will blamed An Enterprise like Caverton should be working with the state government where they operate to ensure this virus is well contained so it doesn't escalates, instead they are breaking the rules of the state; if you can't help them, why break their rules? lockdown doesn't apply only to land borders, but air and water are involved.
Go a sms read your book - aviation is nkt within state purview..
Mizwisdom: I'm beginning to feel that this Corona virus issue is being politicized. If a man is suffering from hypertension and hepatitis, and dies from one or both causes and you claim he died from corona then you're not being truthful even if he tests positive because any one of those illnesses can kill at any time. But NCDC quickly added his case to the number of deaths. Something isn't right about this(my opinion).
He died of covid-19 complications. Period. Or what exactly is your point.
He had covid-19. He is now dead. Even if Hepatitis killed him--he has become one more person that died with the virus so he must be added...
kikero: If you think the government is lying to you, or is using corona virus to loot money ,form your own party, run for office, and run an honest government.
You are calling people who recovered from a serious illness liars. How come you believe the report when it is people recovering in the US and not Nigeria.
They recovered from corona virus. Unless you have actual proof that they didn't and that it is a lie, please, just keep quiet, or congratulate them on their recovery.
tunize: That guy gave a perfect answer u sure sey u understand waitn u read?? U don't enforce some certain things on ppl especially wearing of mask wen it is not readily available, even the govt itself did not even provide any enough for its citizens. And before u ask me weda na govt wan give ppl face mask note that these masks are disposable,and traders of it now use it as a medium to start cashing out which makes it now expensive of which u and i know that not everybody can afford it like buy am #200 or #300 then use am one troway.
We are talking about the head of an infectious disease agency here.. Not any random person o the street...
mrvitalis: This is the brain behind Nigerians response to this virus ....but he is not praised because of where he is from ...
Nna keep doing your work ...we appreciate you
And he refuses to wear face mask - claiming only infected people shoukd have it on - in a country with one of the lowest covid - 29 testing rates in the world...
ValCon888: I mean no disrespect, but the Nigerian military do not know how to fight insurgency warfare. Insurgency warfare is 50% actual combat and 50% propaganda warfare. You have to win the propaganda war to win the actual war.
Win the support of the local population and deny it to your enemy. Without local support Boko Haram will weaken and die.
Another mistake the army makes is to patrol the terrain in convoys. That gives you the false impression you're in control while giving the enemy lots of space to attack you.
Nigerian army mostly repel the enemy you hardly see them attack. You have to continuously bring the war to the enemy. Boko haram are human beings. They eat, shìt, and sleep. Find out where they do these things and exterminate them like cockroaches. If that means waterboarding some of the captives then by all means do so.
This is a war of attrition and not church thanksgiving.
Waterboarding - you do.n watch American film tire..
Our military are not different from the police - they know nothing about modern warfare.. They are never in a position of advantage - they go in blind or wait to be attacked...
MERCHANDISER: Western media has made everything non_western evil. We need to sit down and look at it logically. Nigeria has been struggling to fight BH for decade, US has never shown any genuine support, infact, at a time they're were technically supporting BH by blocking every opportunity to access weapons. Whereas, the same US has been building sophisticated millitary bases all over Africa with several billions of dollars even all over islands in Africa. In a continent struggling to provide as basic thing as clean water, road, edu, etc. In term of infrastructural development, US hasnt built anything tangible anywhere in Africa despite her big economy and influence. On the other hand, China is building projects across Africa from electricity to train to Airport, roads, scholarships to Africans, etc even with their own money. Let's say we can't pay and they take over them, who would still be using those infrastructure, Chinese? At least they brought them here, so if we can't pay back and they take over them these things would still be in use by Africans and improve quality of life, just like every private business. US/Trump that everyone is supporting call Africans all kinds to unprintable names, visa ban, reporting weak sides of African nations and continuously ridiculing everything we do. The list is long. China hasnt done any of these yet, western media still find their ways into the hearts of Africans to hate Chinese. Sadly, enough some fake pastors joined this brainwashed citizens. Look at China, how many times have they tumbled African govt? How many nations have China invaded in Africa? How many times has Chinese embassy criticize our local affairs? Etc New York started have underground train in 1809, that's 200yrs, they never extended such to Africa. China started booming just 20yrs ago and they've extended everything technology they have to us, that have improved our lives; From phones, train, Good Airport, Naval ship, Telecom, Roads, scholarships, etc Africans must sitdown and think. China is not your enemy.
You post this shit full time on different forums..
GamalNasser: You should tell them why a virus that has existed in animals suddenly make the cross and spread so fast ..you called a milimetre wave transponder a telephone antenna? You sound like the illiterate here no disrespect Sir
A generic name given to equipment that transmit and receive signals is antenna...
manontree: Crap. I don't get this sensational headline. Which one is drive through test? As long as we can only do PCR tests, this is simply not possible
We currently do not have the rapid test kits so I do not understand what this write up is all about
Drive through means you are pre - qualified in the website you drive in and have your sample collected and drive off...
The testing still takes the normal 24 to 48 hours..
kingxsamz: Jesus went around, healed people, preformed miracles, and cured so many diseases. Pastors on the other hand were busy holding church services, collecting offerings and tithes, milking people off their money instead of giving back to the society, even after the government placed an order, so as to prevent further spread of the virus, these same pastors violated this order and their ignorant followers joined them. And this one is here saying crap. Isn't it written in your bible to respect the law? So pastors are now above the law and can do whatever they like because of what?
Close mouth! Close mouth! No talk! Na wetin put this country in this situation in the first place.
This is 2020, and anyone who has refused to have sense, sense will be instilled into his head by force.
Make it your goal to live a quiet life - minding your own business and doing your own work - just as we instructed you....
afrorossiyatv: Also asked Russians to tell me what they know about Africa and you can't believe the ignorant and stupid answers they gave lol see video
