Gandollaar:
@OP, don't rejoice yet.

I don't think the cases are underreported, rather we have just been lucky that many infected victims didn't come in to the country to easily trigger a large spread. If they did, what happened in China would be child's play.

As at when the health minister announced they were ready to combat the disease, there was nothing on ground to back up his claim. Only recently did we start seeing what state governments were doing and would do in the event of an emergency.

The article is not meant to "rejoice". Underreporting cases is a global phenomenon not only in Nigeria. No human set-up can match the efficiency of a virus spreading. What we can do is observe trends and learn from them.

GamalNasser:


Oga the guy in Ekiti died of COVID whether you like it or not and pretending or lying about it Buhari govt style don't change the fact that he had Covid and even successfully transmitted it and the died in a Nigerian hospital

The point is this, the authorities say the test was inconclusive rather. Official death count for now is 0. That can change.

The article itself says low death rate. My friend your negativity won't change the message #LOL

Even if that case was positive, it means he came to Nigeria when he was almost dead. Cases observed in Nigeria or those not even identified somehow are surviving.

You guys are making a moot point.

Krak:


Look at all these countries, they have more recorded cases than Nigeria, yet either no deaths or very few deaths, for now.

We better face the fact and not be complacent. Many Nigerians do not seem to know the enormity of what could be coming our way.

You see all these aged ones we so cherish in the towns and villages and even cities across Nigeria,their population could be decimated overnight.

The Italians were initially complacent, now they are paying the price. A thousand people dead daily is no joke.

Ours could be worse.

Read the article again ... slowly. It addresses the point you are trying to make and goes beyond it.

GamalNasser:
Stop saying there has been no death , the American that died in Ekiti died from Corona

Your problem is lack of proper English comprehension. The only agency that is authorised to announce deaths from Coronavirus says no deaths.

So, a public commentator will start posting like a social media uncensored poster?

The write-up is not useful for people looking for negativity to peddle O. It is for people with depth of understanding to ask questions and seek answers.

Krak:
There is nothing critically missing. The reason is that we still have a micro number number of cases and the death rate is just about 3% or less.

Plus most people that die are either old people or people with critical underlying illneses.

Wait till we start having cases in hundreds(I hope not) then our eyes will clear.

NB: There is one death already, the American that brought it to Ekiti State died. I wonder why NCDC did not record it.

I am not surprised LOL. Many have been programmed not to expect positive outcomes from Nigeria. Keep counting deaths you hear.

A simple model of the degree of exposure that people infected with Covid-19 have had to other members of the public after majority arrived in Nigeria from countries with larger infection rates shows that there is high likelihood of underreporting of the number of infections of coronavirus in Nigeria -- this is true of other countries and the global count as well.

So far, officially as I write, no deaths from Covid-19 infection have been recorded in Nigeria. This begs the question: what are we doing right with treatment of the coronavirus that other countries aren't? Also, it is important to realise that the suspicion that some infected people have not been identified suggests that these people are somehow effectively treating the disease and avoiding becoming fatalities. Otherwise, an already panicked Nigerian public would have raised alarm over such deaths. This of course, is not helpful in curtailing the spread from person to person as an infected person can by asymptomatic (showing no symptoms of the disease).

However, we need to research, the drugs or remedies that Nigerians are using to manage this disease. There might be beneficial medicines, herbs or remedies that work in fighting it. We owe the world a duty to carry out detailed research and discover what is really the source of Nigeria's low death rate from coronavirus.

This could be our gift to the world during this global crisis and a great way to curtail its effects on our people, society and economy. Potential shutdowns of cities or the entire country could mean economic collapse of Nigeria that could end up killing more people than the coronavirus will directly.

I am aware that some people are against my line of reasoning, their argument is that there are no valuable trends in Nigeria to be observed and that as long as we try our best to prevent the disease with effective social mobilization and education, we should be fine. Some have even called for shutdowns as if those are tea parties without their own costs to people and government.

To me, while there are merits to some of these arguments, the suggestion that Nigerians cannot find a cure or show the world how to effectively treat the disease as a defeatist mentality and an exhibition of low self-esteem. Nigeria despite its numerous challenges is still a great country with humongous human and material resources. Gifting the world a cure to Covid-19 is not beyond us with the right attitude and mentality.

Seun:
Wow. We are beginning to see an exponential increase in cases. It is quite likely that there are many more cases that have not been tested yet. In a country with 190 million people, if we have tested less than 100 cases, how can we be sure that thousands of others have not been infected?

Fear dey catch you? #LOL

It's Pirelli.

Take time out to meet your child and your brother with his wife.

Encourage the child to make the most of his bad circumstance and let him know that you will do your best (under these difficult circumstances) to reward good behaviour.

Have a heart-to-heart talk with your brother, appeal to him to save you and your son from a painful outcome.

I hope you help with finances with your brother- it's the least you can do under the circumstances.

I think it is opposite O. Frogs are not edible, most are poisonous.

Konko= toad

papaejima20199:
This is my first time posting NL , although I've been reading a lot in the last few months . I'll try to be as detailed as possible. I don't even know if I'm asking a question, or advice, or what. I just have to get some things out of my brain.

I’m 36 and my wife is 32. we've been married for 12 years and have two children, twins age 1. I would say happily married. As in, we don't fight, , never any abuse of any kind, no major life disagreements. I love my wife. She is a great mother, a great provider for the family, and we make a great team when it comes to raising our kids. However, she leaves me feeling undesired. Sexually, just intimacy in general, not feeling wanted or desired, missing that flirtatious quality that we all enjoy in a relationship. Our sex life has been on a steady decline, honestly since we got married. Less and less and less every year, and yes, kids make that even more difficult (and provide very easy excuses)

About 2 years ago, I was close to cheating. There was a girl at work that I flirted with often. We started hanging out , and we always seemed to end up talking, touching innocently, flirting, but nothing ever happened between us. The feeling this girl gave me inspired me to tell my wife how I was feeling, what I was missing, etc. I told her how important sex was to me, asked her what I could change, or if she needed to change something. Her response was that she "just didn't really think about it like you do" and that she would try to work on it. Well she didn't work on it, at all.

The flirty girl didn't work with me any more, and I lost that "flame" with her and let it go, and went about life as usual. I've been working a lot of hours over the last six months. I fell into this flirty relationship with one of my coworkers 22 and we just would have a lot of fun with one another. Mad sexual tension. A few months back things happen and she blows me. Its great. Best sex of my life. We set up plans to meet up off work hours and we do.

My coworker is in perfect shape. Its like my perfect woman. I love the way she loves me. She appreciates me, she satisfies me, she matches my sexual drive, and even exceeds it. She is everything I was missing in life, and I'm as happy as I've been in a long time. She is also crazy about me which feels unbelievable. Its been a while since someone has just wanted me to be happy and wanted to please me. I now consider her my girlfriend.

I don't wish to hurt my wife. But I do wish to be happy.

I do not wish for my children to grow up in a home with divorce. I want them to grow up with myself and my wife still being the team we've been so far, doing equal parts to take care of them, and always be there for them.

I realize a lot of what I'm saying are things that can't go together. I want to be with my girlfriend, I don't want to hurt my wife, and I don't want my kids to suffer . I can't have it all. Now I feel stuck

I need help because I can't seem to go through with this alone, and I have no one close enough with the time and level of trust that I can confide in, so I would really appreciate it if you'd offer me some advice.

Thanks for reading

Stop cheating, research Islam. If you truly believe, maybe you can have more than one wife.

Calling President Muhammadu Buhari a general.

Punch just created the funniest diversion in the tenure of this current president.

Carry on President Major General Muhammadu Buhari.

Nigerians voted you in because we know as a general you won't take nonsense.

Apply people.
