Eruditor:
You should read other people's posts.

The few samples they got from Kano were contaminated. They were not even well-named. They sent them(the improperly named ones)back to Kano and the so-called health workers there instead of retrieving new samples, just renamed the old ones and sent them back to Abuja. I can almost say with 95% certainty that the NCDC in Abuja in anger, did not test those samples at all. But because of all the hoopla surrounding Kano, Gwarzo had to come out to make this statement. Some of the samples tested negative to COVID-19.

[color=royalblue]You sound so sure.

So what exactly do you think is responsible for these deaths?.

I'm not saying you should be sure. But what do you think may most likely be the cause?[/color]

Eruditor:
1. You should read some posts.

2. Lassa Fever had killed more people than COVID-19 as at March. Swissh was right. Lassa Fever was declared an epidemic in Nigeria for a while now- especially in the north.

3. Apart from the very recent deaths, I can guarantee you that zero autopsy was done on any one who died in Kano. So they do not know, but Gwarzo has to play to the gallery for optics.

[color=royalblue]Again, Nobody said Switch was wrong. But downplaying Covid-19 as the most possible cause was what sparked this arguement.

And are you really sure Gwarzo played to the gallery on this one?[/color]

Expert17:
Speak for yourself

[color=royalblue]I did not see you anywhere near that discourse that day

If you cannot dig where someone said otherwise, kindly rest abeg.[/color]

Eruditor:
According to Gwarzo: “With the preliminary report, most of the deaths recorded of recent and test carried out indicated that coronavirus is the cause".

So not all the deaths were COVID-19 deaths? Okay.

[color=royalblue] Nowhere did anyone say all deaths were Covid-19 deaths

What fuelled this argument was when Mr Switch started talking about how it's politics and how Lassa fever had killed more people than Covid-19 as at March 2020

Everybody knows that all deaths are not related to Covid-19, but whatever will take the life of 12 prominent Kano indigenes in 10 hours, killed and Emir and a professor in the past few days will not be malaria or typhoid.[/color]

Ishilove:
The child is part of the package. He either loves the whole package or take a hike. It's as simple as that.

[color=royalblue]I read his comment like four times

I couldn't figure out if he was typing nonsense, or if my eyes were deceiving me

And then I saw your comment. That's why I laughed [/color]

Ishilove:
Op kindly disregard this comment.

thorrvik55:
Arsenal fans would be in a better position to describe Robben's curlers (R2)

Funny tin is with Robben u know he wants to cut in and take that shot

[color=royalblue]....and most times, the defenders still won't/can't do anything about it

It baffles me sometimes[/color]

Emaprince:
Could this possibly be true? I saw this in a WhatsApp group

[color=royalblue]I know someone who got tested and he was negative.

WhatsApp has done more damage this period than any good. At some point, I had to mute my mother's notification because na so so forwarded messages like these I go dey see

[/color]

[color=royalblue]I think I'll have to carefully calculate when to impregnate my wife, so our daughter will be born in May

I've been seeing some notable birthdays today[/color]

splashbaby:
Honestly we were left destruct and heart broken when we tried to do our recent give away. We packaged them for the elderly and they quickly changed it for us. By the time we were through we left with our tails between our legs as they almost damaged our car.

[color=royalblue]

Sincerely, I don't subscribe to it anymore.

I've always been a fan of giveaways. But with what I've seen this period, both offline and online, I don't think it's worth the stress

I know a man where I used to live before. He takes note of families that are families that are financially handicapped, and then he goes to give them individually. That way, he won't have to encounter a wicked crowd

Unless you plan to organize it somehow, or plan for security, it's most likely going to end up hurting your emotions

[/color]

[color=royalblue]So, Access bank woke up one morning, picked a paper that was used to wrap akara on the floor, found your number, and started sending you messages abi?

You probably must have subscribed to something and that's why they are disturbing you

Call them to complain about the messages and that you want to opt out. That's the first step.

If they don't, then you have a chance to waste your money in court, all in the name of sueing [/color]

pocohantas:
Don’t give or call to tell you the real way to go about giving. He seems to have this figured out.

“Don’t give publicly, give your relatives.”

“Okay you can give publicly, but don’t mention your name.“

All this stress and calculation because person wan help and remain real? Oh chineke!

[color=royalblue]The moment he said public givings are clout chasing, I didn't bother to read his other comments

We now have online polygraphs that can now read people's intentions just by watching a video or seeing pictures?

Shioor[/color]

pocohantas:
That is how greedy people are. Even the rich get their own for body, because when you check some decisions these executives make, you will know they don’t give a fck about people under them. They are only more systematic about their own looting.

Hopefully everyone adopts the model of themselves and family.
-Of course we would always have people who won’t give their family.
-We would also have people whose family have none to give them.
-We also have people who can’t ask from familiar people to avoid ridicule. They rather ask from unknown who by the way are now focusing on the known.
-Then we have the people without family.

Everybody go dey alright last last.

[color=royalblue]Either ways, there would still be poor people

Being a Nigerian comes with very difficult options to choose or stick to.

You want to help the poor? Dem go Rob you
You want to help your family? Dem go wan bring you down

[/color]

xrayj:
I used that family member analogy for Genuinity.
Not necessarily a family member.
Remove the public show & see if most of these people doing give away will still do it!

[color=royalblue]You never can tell. You don't know anyone's motives, and it will be unfair to call it clout chasing because it was done in public

We should encourage good actions. That's all we can see. Na only God dey see the motive

[/color]

pocohantas:
I am sure she has learned her lesson. We all learn.

[color=royalblue]Let me show you an annoying part from this your thread

The woman said she had about 150 cartons of noodles to share

Do you know that someone in that crowd may take up to 10 cartons for only him and his family oh?
They say the rich are greedy, but the poor are no different.

Apart from giveaways, Most poor Nigerians always exhibit that trait. And as much as I'll blame it on poverty, I'll still see them as wicked

A truck of rice falls on the road. You see them rushing someone's sweat. Even the driver of the truck has to run away or else they'll attack him

It's just an attitude of being poor. I just don't know why [/color]

pocohantas:
Your mum should have given her family members. At least they won’t pounce her and she wouldn’t need much organization.

The worst that will happen is village people would remember her.

[color=royalblue]I don't think she ever did that again

Even if helping families are not different, one should endeavour to organize it and provide some form of security.

There is no excuse for what they did to that woman. That's just a typical Nigerian poor community attitude[/color]

xrayj:
God bless u for the bold!
Give aways are just means to show off.
Tell these same people doing give away to give that money to a needy close family member, they will never! Have u ever wondered how a sickness than can be treated with 20k will kill a man, but when it come to burial time, u will see this same man relatives lavishing money on musicians just to get public praises.

[color=royalblue]If you give money to a beggar on the street, would you say you're showing off?
After all, there's someone in your extended family that you can recharge their phone with #100

It is good to give, and help people. My only issue is with the way Nigerians accept and handle it. And that's why I don't buy the idea anymore

Poor people, most times can be ungrateful. They show this ungratefulness either by trying to cheat you or the process, steal from you, or attack you.
[/color]

pocohantas:
What I posted is the link to Alibaba’s page. There is a video there. I am not saying you blamed her, just borrowing some words here.

Anyway, I have adopted a different model. Myself and family only. Every other person should go meet their own family. After all, everyone online is caring for their own. If that transcends offline is not any of my business.

[color=royalblue]When I was young, my mum did a giveaway. I still remember that day. She drove to a particular place in Lagos and brought out clothes and other items to give. She had money too

The way they rushed her made her abandon the items, jumped into her car and fled. She was more scared of being attacked, than the people she came for

I know giveaways are for the needy, but over here, you'll have to organize the process, organize them,... Or you would not like the outcome

Most times, it ends badly[/color]

pocohantas:
Click here for Alibaba’s giveaway

The link above is another one by Ali baba, can you see the ARMED security men? Yet look at what they are doing. If the security man pushes one person in a bid to organize them, it will get to NL frontpage and people will blame the giver again, then remember Nigeria officers and their barbarism.

Oh Alibaba is not real. He is the problem, he deserves what he got.

[color=royalblue]I'm not saying she deserywhat she got. She did a good thing. But most times(emphasis on most times), it ends badly.

What you posted was a link. It's a channel. The link will not gather everybody on one page and share anything. You are attended to, individually. You will not even know who got what. That's another form of security. If you don't get, you close the page. No phones to steal, no bags to snatch, etc

Submitting your data for giveaways is a form of security from the giver

But carrying yourself to enter a crowd to share anything will most times, end badly

I don't blame her for what happened. Neither did I evaluate her actions to see if it's clout chasing or not. I'm just saying giveaways like hers are most likely to go wrong[/color]

pocohantas:
Despite the channels they all went through, can we really say it was effective?

There are people who donated to foundations and the government during this period. So many people said they should never have given the government. They should have shared it directly to the masses.

There would always be glitches and criticisms.

[color=royalblue] Sharing directly to the masses, without any form of security, will actually lead to something like this.

The other day on Nl, we saw a thread of how people attacked a bus carrying bread. That was not even a giveaway oh. Someone's sweat, and people, both old and young, male and female participated in the theft

Nigerians can be wicked, especially the very poor ones. And there are things you just can't change about them
[/color]

[color=royalblue]In summary, what period are we in now?

The Great tribulation?[/color]

pocohantas:
You are right too. We would send this message to Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Jack Ma and other world organizations. They should focus on their continents and family trees.

Africa is about the biggest recipient of giveaways.

What is all this relative talk sef. How did the concept of village people come about? Isn’t it from people who got burned after going back home to share bread or money? Isn’t that why some people abroad refuse to come back home and visit their villages?

So why are we acting like family/friends haven’t done worse to people. Are these people not someone’s family member(s)?

I think the best thing is everybody should hold their money. You no even owe anybody.

[color=royalblue]See ehn, if the items are not shared through an organised channel, one may not be happy with the outcome in the end. Gates donated vaccines to NG. His vaccines are free. So if you'd want to make moneu from it, you'll have to sell it cheaper than free. .

If Jack Ma had shared his free facemask in Surulere stadium by himself, he'll most likely get robbed, and he'll regret considering this country. I'm not saying all family members are grateful or kind. But unless public giveaways are planned with some sort of extra security, it, most times doesn't end well

Even on nairaland, you share 50k. People drop Account numbers. Some come back with alternates. Even when you say it's for some particular people, some still come back again with another identity. Let's not talk about the bashings or ungratefulness that may follow too

Most times, public giveaways are not worth the stress. Giving to the motherless babies home, remand homes, and other little communities that are organised is obviously much better. But say you wan share am by yourself without police,......hmmmmm. That's not me, exonerating wicked people from families sha [/color]

stephenwa:
As for me..i will add..Dettol, Hypo bleach and Alcoho mix them together all in 1..let me see the reason why the virus will not die after spraying it..

[color=royalblue]What did you just say you want to mix?

See my hand.

E no dey oh[/color]

[color=royalblue]I do not believe and subscribe to giveaways anymore

If they recipients won't try to scam you, they'll be very ungrateful in the end

Look for someone in your family tree. If everyone in your family don belle full, walk downstairs to your gateman and drivers and bless their lives
