BlueRayDick:
What are u saying really?

U asked if it was possible to be tested at LUTH instead of The 5 test centres run by NCDC, somebody brought u receipts showing LUTH claiming they run the tests.

That alone already shows there's some credibility to the story.( Which even myself doubted initially)

Now the guy claims he was let loose by LUTH after testing positive which is visibly professional negligence on LUTH's part.

Are u saying that is not possible?

Read my post again sir.

You cannot get tested for Covid-19 without NCDC being aware of it. NCDC and LSMOH are the one in charge of Covid-19 response in Lagos.

The man cannot walk into LUTH today and ask for a test, it is not possible. He will be referred to the Infectious Disease Centre, they are the one that will decide whether he will get the test or not. If he test positive, he will be evacuated to Lagos State isolation center.

Covid-19 test is not like malaria test that you can just walk in and get.

HOMOTOYOSI10:
Forget Buhari and COVID-19 and wish me a happy birthday

Happy birthday bro

BlueRayDick:
But this their response get as e be.

1.You can clearly see on their Twitter TL that they conduct COVID-19 tests.

2. The guy claim he was tested there and he was confirmed negative. They didn't react to this.

3. He claimed he was asked to go because they don't have required facilities to take care of him. In their response they claimed they are not an isolation centre that can him. ( Which is true)

My question is this : Do u think it makes sense allowing him to go instead of arranging for him to be transfered to NCDC facility on their watch?

The first thing is, you cannot get tested for Covid-19 without NCDC knowing about it. A consultant will be the one to recommend the test. If you walk up to LUTH today even with the symptoms, you will be referred to the Infectious Disease Centre, they are the one that will decide whether you will take the test or not. If the test come back positive, he will be evacuated to the infectious treatment center in Yaba or any of the isolation center.

That’s the way it is.

BlueRayDick:
Talking about community spread, I think it's about to happen or has happened already.



https://www.nairaland.com/5758070/luth-sends-away-man-tested

This guy tested positive at LUTH, but was asked to go home due to non availability of facility to taje Carr of him. This guy used public transport going to LUTH and he did same on his way back home.

He has since gone back to continue with his life as if nothing happened.

Let’s be careful the way we spread rumors that are not verified. There’s no testing lab at Luth. NCDC does their test at Infectious Disease Center at Yaba.

So who tested him positive at LUTH?

Godx:
What if they are already current carriers of the virus that haven't been tested and haven't shown any symptoms. Some cases where Confirmed just few days ago. They could have had the virus fit more than 14days before showing symptoms. That's why testing in mass is the way to go.

If you use assumption to start mass testing now, what happens when the testing kit get exhausted?

NCDC is tracing all the contact of all the confirmed cases, if they start showing symptoms, they will be tested. Lagos State alone has over 20m people, who many people do you think 20k Kit will test in Lagos considering the 20k is for the whole country?

Godx:
Adapting uk policy of testing to me is the wrong way to go. South Africa has tested over 16k people as this moment. Local authorities should be carrying out more testing on people.

I disagree.

We currently do not have community spread of the virus in the country “yet”.

The first case was reported Feb 25, it’s already over 30 days which means we don’t have community spread from the index case. The plan is to prevent community spread, as long as we are able to do that, our case will be low.

obainojazz:
E pain you we called out your master You'll be alright Las las

Buhari that I have been calling out since on Twitter whenever he mess up.

Obiano my man, get sense.

Godx:
The question is what are we doing with the 20k testing kits we have on ground. Nigeria has not tested up to 200 people at this very moment.

The plan is to test those showing symptoms already or those that have come in contact with a confirmed case. That’s why NCDC is screaming self isolate and stay at home.

We cannot just test anybody, the testing must be targeted. That’s our current reality.

obainojazz:
You a brain dead Zombie... I won't engage you

And so ends the debate.

afrodoc2:
The way you insult people over political issues is unbecoming of you.
You want to debate with someone, yet you are striking out his entire post, and calling what he said thrash.
The other time you referred to people who opposed the rice ban as bush babies. LOL

I am only saying this because some of your points are good but you gain nothing extra with the insults.

My first reply to him was devoid of insult, he started his reply with a snide remark, “Mr defender” and then failed to even address a point I asked him to.

Thanks though, your observation is well noted, I will adjust.

Victornezzar:
Other Presidents are addressing their nation

But Your presidential Spokesman said your President has his own style

Uganda president has addressed his nation 5 times 2 wks but Bubu had to make a speech after the whole pressure

I'm just glad for Someone like Sanwo-Olu... That dude is really trying

Nigerians, we enjoy majoring in the minor.

To be clear, I have dragged Femi Adeshina and Garba Shehu, even Buhari this morning on his so called communication style. I believe the President should be addressing the nation as often as possible which isn’t the case with Buhari and his media team.

That being said, during this pandemic, I will rather hear from the health experts on what they are doing to contain and fight this virus than whatever the President want to say. So far Minister for Health and NCDC has been the one giving us information on this virus and it must remain same.

What measure has the FG done during this period:

The Buhari administration has just approved 10bn for Lagos State to support their fight during this period. FG has released 6.6bn to NCDC in 2 tranches to ramp up their capacity.

There’s a Presidential task force in place to coordinate the effort of the FmoH, NCDC and state governments.

FG and CBN has introduced interest rate cuts from 9% to 5% and one year moratorium on loan servicing.

FG and CBN has created a 50bn targeted credit facility through NIRSAL micro finance bank for households and small medium sized enterprise that will be affected by Covid-19.

The FG has set up a crisis management committee who are working on an integrated policy framework, this framework will lead to the review of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework and the review of the 2020 FG budget. The following are the proposed cost saving measures and stimulus package:

1. Oil benchmark set at $30
2. Reduction of NNPC PMS underrecovery payment from 457.5bn to zero.
3. Ruduced budgeted custom revenue from 1.5tr to 943bn
4. Cut privatization proceed by 50%
5. Reduce administrative CAPEX by 25%.
6. Reduce administrative capex and overhead by top 10 GOEs in FGN budget by 25%.

FG is embarking on implementation of tax holidays and import duty waivers in the agricultural sector to enhance production and job creation.

These are the things we should be talking and debating on, but unfortunately we are more fixtated on the President speech which 80% are just waiting for to use to mock him.

It’s well.

airmark:
More reason he should do more so that there won't be that chance for anybody to amplify anything.

Killing over 70 soldiers in an ambush, is what will frighten any president in a sane country. And this is not the first time and i only pray it will be the last. We should start attaching more importance to every Nigerian soul.

I have sms messages from Usa embassy in Ottawa, giving me tips on prevention and hot lines to call if help is needed. That's how much our leaders should treat lives of Nigerian people.

We always foolishly believe that any soul lost, is allowed by God/Allah, when some could be saved but for our ineptitude, inactions and carelessness.

I still maintain that no significant progress, if those people could still have info and tools to easily ambush that large number of soldiers sent by the state.

It was 40 Nigerian soldiers, the rest were Chadians.

I agree with everything else you said that’s why I said among other things I’ve been complaining about is why Buhari hasn’t sacked his service chief yet. I still believe there might be moles in the military that we will still need to fish out.

Overall, on security, Buhari will prolly be rated 4/10. Failed.

obainojazz:
[s]Mr defender... Thought you'll bring rice into the argument like rice was ever Nigerians problem... Since this government, how many people can afford the said rice. How will you know rule of law.. Shey during election now, they'll give you rice and you will snatch ballot in osun state. I usually don't bother about any youth supporting politicians but why your own even pain me is you are smart and should put efforts in holding government accountable.. Man there's nothing to praise buhari for.. Nigeria has never been this bad [/s]

I asked you a simple question and you are ranting incoherently.

What is rule of law? Explain what rule of law is and how Buhari doesn’t respect rule of law.

We will get back to other trash you posted later.

obainojazz:
They'll cover it up.. Government of cover up.. Only brain dead youths will support this government... Government without regards for its citizens and doesn't respect rule of law.

They will cover it up yet it’s in the news? Yet the military reported the ambush themselves. LOL.

What is rule of Law?

Godx:
Yesterday I was talking to my colleague about what would have happened to Nigeria if we were still depended on other countries for food importation and with this virus outbreak. Is anything stopping us from
exporting the rice we grow for foreign exchange? This looks like a perfect opportunity.

We are not yet self sufficient in rice production. We still have about 2 million tonnes or thereabouts to reach that level before we start talking about export.

airmark:
I learnt they ambushed many soldiers few days ago and some are probably bread-winners of their families.

I see no significant progress yet, despite all the billions pumped into the fight. If your output doesn't justify the input, that's a let down.

Maybe we should even thank Corona for the reduction in their attacks recently.

Significant progress has been made. The media obviously amplify their attack anytime they attack and barely report whenever the military are on the offensive.

All the same, I agree the service chiefs should have been sacked, if not for nothing but to bring fresh ideas into the military top strategy against the one going fight.

The North will actually judge Buhari and how he tackled Boko Haram and bandits and rightly so. As in C-I-C, the buck stop at his table.

hardeycute:
Nigeria didn't overtake Egypt because of it's own actions but due to Egypt decision to cut production.


Werey alaso. #LastReply

Nigeria is currently producing 4.9 million tonnes of Rice. Egypt was producing 4.3 million tonnes of rice before they decided to cut their production.

Do explain how 4.3 million tonnes would have been higher than 4.9 million tonnes.

Oloriburuku somebody.

biomustry:
Oh I know sarcasm, the problem is you just jumped into conclusion now you're shifting goal post. Shut the fvck up

This was the post I responded to:

biomustry:
It is scary. It seems they haven't set up a unit at all till now

This was my response:

larride1:
Don’t mind them, I don’t understand why they keep going to UK to do the test and bring the result back to Nigeria.

Anyone with half a brain will now I was being sarcastic to your post. Just maybe I exaggerated your ability to detect sarcasm.

So now tell us the name of the state your case is.

biomustry:
So why did you say wat u said first? They've been calling since morning they arrived evening and refused to touch the patient, her brother took her.
The state it happened aren't ready, you're saying another thing entirely now. Aren't you the one who's binary in thinking?

Even if sarcasm hit you in the face, your head still won’t be able to process it.

Let us all know the name of the state so we can collectively drag their incompetence. If you can’t name the state where your case happened, shut the fück up.

hardeycute:
You just justified why I called you oloriburuku. "BMO" is the group you are quoting, give statistics from credible sources or reliable ones.


May your life be as fruitful as BMO's truthfulness is on this

It seems your head is block. It says BMO “commend”. Go and read the remaining of commend.

Oponu ayerada. The Director-General of Africa Rice Center in Benin Republic, Dr Harold Roy-Macauley must be a BMO.

Oloriburuku

biomustry:
You really are what they say you are, party man
The state has no confirmed case and yes they were not ready probably hav to take samples to Abuja. Na una people put us for this wahala

Are you binary in thinking? We have 5 testing lab in Nigeria. I already said it here. There’s testing lab in Lagos, Edo, Osun and FCT.

You are free to think anything else you want.

airmark:
You are doing well.

However, he should find final solution to Boko haram and his Miyetti friends, before he leaves. If not, all these achievements will be drowned by the number of lives lost during his 8yrs on the seat. Only those who are alive, will eat cheap rice.

Like I said, that I support APC doesn’t mean I don’t condemn those that represent the party in office.

I have called for the removal of service chiefs severally and even lambasted Buhari on it, while we have made significant progress in the fight against Boko Haram, I believe a lot still need to be done and I have no qualms with anyone blasting Buhari over Boko Haram, even I do it too.

Herders n farmers clash will end when ranching is made possible all over the country. Surprisingly some state govt. are fighting against it. A lot of criminals are hiding under Fulani herdsmen to perpetuate their crimes and put it on them.

hardeycute:
There's no gain quoting a party man "perceived zombie" because he is not likely to reason differently or accept the failures of "his master"


The oloriburuku said "highest Rice producer"

You, your immediate relative and entire lineage are the oloriburuku.

Bush baby. Choke on it.

When Buhari closed the border last year August to stop importation of rice, chickens and the likes, most of these people were crying like bush babies.

Today, with all the disruption with global supply chain, price of rice, chicken and other essentials has remained the same. Most of theee bush babies now eat the local rice like their life depends on it. Our import bill on rice is almost zero and import bill for chicken has gone down drastically. We are now the highest producer of rice in Africa. Rice mill are springing up everywhere, creating jobs for both farmers, retailer and manufacturers. Poultry farming is at an all time high, more people are going into agriculture and we are heading towards food sufficiency.

Military and police are now buying their patrol vans from Innoson and Proforce, Factories in Aba are now making boots for the military, police and NYSC. Garment factory in calabar is now producing uniform for our security outfits. We now have fertilizer blending plants working at full capacity.

Bush babies that know nothing about the economy or the affairs of the country other than what they hear on WhatsApp trying to form knowledgeable on issues they know nothing about. Echo chambers who only echo what they have heard others saying.

What do you expect coming from people that follows FFK, Reno and the likes. LMAO.

gensteejay:
No, the green chamber is made up of looters, irrespective of political affiliations.

So why are you calling them my people?

Apart from the fact that it’s fake news, the National Assembly has been shut down, they have even gotten first and second batch of the cars since last month sef.

Just like I condemned the National proposing to renovate their building with 35bn, I also condemn reps buying those cars then when the issue came up late last year.

That i support APC doesn’t mean I agree with everything members of the party does.

biomustry:
It is scary. It seems they haven't set up a unit at all till now

Don’t mind them, I don’t understand why they keep going to UK to do the test and bring the result back to Nigeria.

afrodoc2:
Oh yeah, i was talking about my own local environment here. Every day companies keep announcing layoffs.
The Social Benefits website crashed cos of the number of people logging on to apply for money from the government. The average person in the world lives from paycheck to paycheck but now people are going to live for months with no appreciable income.

Countries like Naija that have no such scheme for the unemployed and the lower classes will be the ones to suffer the most. I won't be surprised if something major happens in terms of civil disobedience or even riots. People won't just sit at home and starve to death.

Nigeria is not going to enter full lockdown. It’s not going to happen.

gensteejay:
larride, see your people, even when the world is in the throes of a pandemic.

It’s pretend as if the green chamber is made up of APC members only.
