Her comment wasn't necessary, insulting the Op was really bad. She lack manners. There are ways to insult and not bring up the fact that he is financially handicapped.
Almost everyone at a point in their life has been broke, insulting them was a stupid way to score cheap points

How do you test COVID-19 at the border when it's not done through a hand-held machine and you don't get test results in minutes?
The almighty USA and other countries don't even such testing equipment until recently. Even at that, the hurriedly developed testing kits give false results!

Again, stopping international flights isn't a tea-party decision. If it was, all saner countries would do that before a single case got to them.

Your wish.

On the contrary, the FG is reacting in the right manner. Govt does not have money to give and it reduced petrol pump price by N20 periter. Multiply this by the millions of litre we consume daily or per head of what individual consumes in a month, you'd realize how much in billions this translate to on monthly basis.
The FG gave Lagos N10bn and you say they haven't done anything? Let me leave you.

Closing a state's border isn't even an easy decision to take. How much more a national border. Even if the border was shit after the first case, would it have stopped at that one case?
And would citizens have been prevented from coming to their country even if airspace was closed?

1. Iran had her first case only four days earlier than us. Check their stats. Check any other country that has their first case in the last week of Feb and compare.

2. Same as my first response here. Nigeria does not have low inflow of people from the western world and China. More than enough sef.

3. Spike is usually with first 3 to 4 weeks of its outbreak. We have passed five weeks since the first case.

Closing your airspace is not a decision as simple as what yoi like to eat. It takes a lot of careful analysis and conviction that it's the right thing to do. Tell me which country did just that? If it was that simple and easy, many would have.

Lastly, the govt has given money to LASG and provided resources to NCDC. Like I said earlier, we can only expect the govt to act within its resources.

1. I already answered it in the original post.

2. If people have been dying as a result of suspected COVID case, we would have known. We haven't heard people dying mysteriously. Have you?

Till now, no govt in the world quarantines people just because they're returning from abroad. Where are the facilities and resources to keep thousands of people, including providing for their needs? So, if people choose to be irresponsible, the govt must still be blamed? Like those who filled wrong details in their form to enable contact tracing, right?

Many of you are unnecessarily hysterical.

Great, which govt was indeed responsive to the looming danger then? I mean, tell us an example of the govt we should have emulated.
What many of you wailers don't accept is that this disease is unavailable. It will reach almost every known country of the world.

Screening at the airport even before we had one case was a big factor in delaying having our first case. Such measure could have deterred carriers from even venturing into Nigeria then.
Contact tracing was another great effort which has been greatly commended by WHO for its effectiveness.
Following up on people who came in from abroad (those who were asked to self-isolate and who actually did) has also been helpful.
Giving money to supp3Lagis state is also a good one by the govt.

Listen, fighting this disease isn't any easy and we have seen that all over the world.

If I may flip the question, which country is the standard example to emulate in this fight?

I have read a lot of wailing and criticism about the FG’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic since it arrived in Nigeria on Feb 25th. The most recent was reactions to a thread comparing Nigeria’s handling of the crisis to that of UK. Expectedly but sadly, a lot of ignorant commenters were dancing albeit nakedly based on the newspaper’s report which didn’t even say that the UK is handling the pandemic better than Nigeria.

If any unbiased person wants to make any comparison about govts handling of the pandemic, their objective analysis will include parameters such as each govt’s efforts before COVID arrived at their shores (very important), each govt’s immediate response as soon as COVID arrived in their country, number of infected persons (confirmed) and lastly and most importantly, the number of deaths recorded as a result of the pandemic. But since many Nigerians have allowed their common sense to be affected by prejudice and hatred, they have abandoned these relevant parameters in making evaluating the govt’s response to the crisis. Now let’s quickly look at the following facts:

1. Measures taken by the Nigerian Govt before a COVID case was discovered in Nigeria: Long before the pandemic found its way into Nigeria, the FG embarked on monitoring body temperature of people flying into the country to be able to discover who may have showed any signs of the disease. By this time and despite that the disease was at their shores, USA, UK, Iran and many other “saner clime” countries were not even taking this measure. Dr. joe Abah did a thread on it and the World Health Organization commended Nigeria for this measure and going as far as using Nigeria as an example of how countries should respond to the pandemic. Read https://twitter.com/drjoeabah/status/1233989553008119809?lang=en for Dr. Joe’s Twitter thread and https://guardian.ng/news/coronavirus-who-commends-fgs-effort-on-response/ for WHO’s commendation.

2. Number of cases recorded in Nigeria versus that of UK or any other “saner country”: As at the time of writing this article (01/04/2010 @12 noon Naija time), the UK has 25,150 confirmed cases and 1,789 deaths; the USA has 188,639 cases and 4,059 deaths; Iran has 47,593 cases and 3,036 deaths, Italy has 105,792 cases and 12,428 deaths while many other “saner countries” have similar gloomy numbers to show for their efforts. Nigeria on the other hand has recorded 139 cases and 2 deaths. I expect some readers to jump on the fact that Nigeria is not testing as much as the mentioned countries, but the fact remains that while that may be responsible for the low number of confirmed cases, it couldn’t have been responsible for low number of deaths. Not carrying out enough testing would not have prevented people from being struck down by the disease or people dying as a result of it.

3. Another indication that Nigeria’s govt is doing her best in containing the spread of the virus can be seen when one compares the time the country’s first case was discovered to when those of the “saner countries” were discovered and juxtapose with the number of confirmed cases and deaths. Italy had her first case around January 31st, 2020 (two months ago), Spain had its first on Feb. 1st and Italy had it on Feb 21st which was only four days earlier than when Nigeria had hers on Feb 25th. Compare the number of deaths/confirmed cases of these countries and see if you have not been unreasonable in your criticism of the government.

The problem with wailers and destructive critics is that they always shift the goalposts. As such, you can never have any reasonable conversation with them. When the first case was reported in Nigeria, lead by their frustrated Wailer-in-Chief, they said it was a scam to be used to loot money. And when few more cases were confirmed some days after, they turned back to say the govt should have closed the bother long ago! Such is their pathetic life!

Ask them which country Nigeria should have emulated in containing the disease, those of them who still have a bit of sense will stutter because they would not dare say USA, UK, Italy or Germany but the chronic wailers who have obviously lost it all will still compare how Nigeria is managing the spread of the disease to the same UK which has lost almost two thousands of her people to the disease.

Does Nigeria have the facilities or the means to combat the COVID19 pandemic? The answer is a resounding NO. Does the country have a robust health system compared to those “saner countries”? Again, the answer is an emphatic No? Do we have enough money to deploy to tackle any outbreak in the size of that witnessed in UK, Italy, USA or Germany? The answer is an obvious NO. But the fact is that the state of our health system or the size of our purse wasn’t brought about by the current government but a result of many years of failure. So, why wailing uncontrollably instead of supporting the govt’s efforts at preventing the spread of the disease?

Had it been Buhari who reacted the way Trump and Boris Johnson first reacted to the COVID19 outbreak – by dismissing it and making all sorts of joke of it, or just like Seyi Makinde (your “presidential material”) who called it an APC disease, perhaps you would have possibly drank sniper to such response. There should be a limit to wailing!

Have a nice day.
