For now, we can't be so sure about how fatal the pandemic could or would be in Nigeria.
For instance, in Brazil and India the level of fatality/mortality was low for a long period (just as it is low right now in Nigeria), but suddenly the daily mortalities began to rise increasingly. Right now, the total reported death in Brazil is close to 40,000 (and it was less than 10,000 about a month ago).
Logically, the higher the number of people that contract the virus, the higher would be the mortality IN THE LONG RUN. It is estimated that about 4-6 out of every 100 people that contract the virus would die (eventually).

We will never have that kind of death in Nigeria. Stop believing NCDC figures. Those numbers are NOT TRUE. Other illnesses were killing people in Nigeria before Coronavirus arrived and deaths from other ailments would continue to happen with or without Coronavirus. NCDC should continue to roll out Fake numbers but Nigerians have moved on!

Interstate ban is only on paper. People dey travel as usual from day one of the interstate travel ban. Once you pay the required amount, you can get to any state within the country.

That means the present Nigerian government that wants to be identified with anti corruption is actually aiding and abetting corruption across Nigeria.
Will the States and Federal Governments say they don't know that the inter state ban is totally ineffective?
That people pass freely across Nigeria after settling security officers at check points?
The Federal Government should lift the ban on inter state travel without further delay. Enough of this Shame!

Better do your father's burial yourself, unless you are willing to transfer your birthright to them, plan and fix the burial yourself but if they feel like supporting fine. But if they oppress you much then go to court, the court will suspend the burial and retrieve all that is rightfully yours.

OP is a 24 years old student. He doesn't have financial resources. From the look of things, his mum is also financially handicapped. (The uncles took advantage of these facts) Much as I agree with your suggestions but how will he finance the actions you have just advised him to take!

Olarewaju89:
Life have returned to normal na, why all this false figure? when i went out today, it was as if nothing like Covid 19 virus because everyone was doing normal. But the only difference is nose mask God bless Nigerian

Even the nose mask is 'let my people go' not necessarily because of Coronavirus!

obonujoker:
Lol... Lasgidi from 66 yesterday to 128 ... Just because they heard FG is planning to open interstate movements

Exactly!

2gbasky22:

and kogi and cross river don't like to make money too?

Some people have conscience and the fear of God!

25tolife:
bros, ahbeg make we hear word na lie.

Exactly!

diziki:
It's for their safety.

Safety from what? Safety from Covid-419. Nonsense!

ezemme:
We'd know that this whole protest isn't gonna change anything. Racism have being in existence for ages.

You have just stated the SAD and BITTER Truth!

Shugargal:
Just my thoughts, the guy lied too low, no body movements at all like as if his legs were chained or something. no struggle no anything, and it was only one officer that pinned him down. anyways God knows why. RIP to him.

Floyd was pinned down by 3 officers not one!

YoungLionken:
Well if I were Floyd, I would have resisted the cop guy. Floyd wasn't smart enough,he saw death and was smiling..

#justiceforuwa...

YoungLionken, how would you have resisted the cop guy. There were 4 cops in case you had forgotten. Please explain what you would have done. I am curious to know!

HedwigesMaduro:
That clown should remove that thing he wears on his head. Maybe with more breeze touching his head he will be able to reason straight. muric my ass.

I'm laughing!

Oyo State always get good governors

Minus Alao Akala!

Dollyak:
This analogy would have made more sense if majority of Kogi citizens doesn't want NCDC in their state and not the state government who are more interested in covering up no. of cases. If there is anything we have learned about the infection rate I'll say the probability of Kogi with zero cases is very low - even more so considering interstate movement was only recently banned.

Any states not conducting test in the name of propaganda risk undermining the whole effort of other states so it is the responsibility of NCDC to gather as much information about each states and tailor their response accordingly.

But for how long can Coronavirus infection be hidden? If the Virus is actually in Kogi state, shouldn't the effect be obvious by now? Do you really think the people of Kogi state will keep quiet if they are truly being ravaged by the Virus? Why are the people not shouting for help? So what propaganda are you talking about!

olumide4christ:
So you think?

What evidence do you have that people have not been dropping dead in Kogi state?
Are you aware of the protocol of handling suspected Corona Virus patients in each state?
When health workers suspect a patient is exhibiting Corona Virus symptoms, they call the state commissioner of health to come and take charge because only the ministry of health has the right to handle and take custody of Corona virus patients.
In Kogi state, because Gov. Yahaya Bello is determined not to declare any case in his state, the commissioner of health who answers to Bello will not respond to the calls from the health workers. Tests will not be carried out on the suspected patients. This was discussed and mentioned by investigative journalists on TV who have insider sources in the Kogi health sector. I watched the TV program, that's why I said it here.
Thus, there can be no Corona virus tests and affirmation if the state ministry of health does not sanction it.

Anyway, you can choose what you want to believe. We pray that we don't learn the hard way.

And what makes you think that the people of Kogi state will keep quiet if they are truly being ravaged by Coronavirus!

ThinkB4mention:
A whole gate way state....this the state that links the north and south , North and east , north and west... Okine and lokoja is always there resting point..... NCDC should visit these areas of the state.... they will definitely see what they are looking for ..... Kogi outght to be an epicentre.....due to there geographical location.....

Are the citizens of Kogi state complaining of serious than usual illnesses or sudden deaths? You are not being logical!

quiverfull:
Blacks in the US are truly endangered species.

You can say that again!

larrysworld:
Bros, Coronavirus is real but the mortality rate is so low, it is like 1/5000. That means one person out of 5,000 with the virus will actually die and that one person is dead not because the virus is powerful but because of other underlying health conditions. If the virus was real as they said it, half of Nigeria will be dead by now because culturally we lack personal hygiene. All those numbers you hear them talk on TV is a scam. The virus did not kill them, they died because they have other underlying health condition before catching the virus.

A very CANDID Report!

Angelfrost:
Just wait till they release the cost of testing and SMS...

The scam is going to be of EPIC proportion!!!

You forgot to add the cost of feeding those FAKE positive figures. It will be out of this world!

chatinent:
Yet nobody knows anybody who knows anyone who has the virus.

Exactly!

pyyxxaro:
We need to give Kogi and Cross-River a standing ovation for not participating in this league



IMO Amaka

Walahi!

obentenyson:
have Sense dude. it's an African proverb... only the wise will understand.

Beautiful!

egopersonified:
to all those always clamouring for more tests to ascertain the exact figures of covid cases, please remember, you can't test every single citizen of a country. The best parameter to check if Nigerian cases are actually correct is to check the percentage of the dead to the total confirmed cases, why is approximately 3%of confirmed cases. Regardless of our cases touted as being over stated, at least the percentage of deaths tallies with the estimated death rates in other countries.

Which is exactly what the NCDC wants us to believe. You can now understand the purpose of the inflated figures every day!

Charity85:
Human beings are funny and easily manipulated with fear. The problem we have here in Nigeria is lack of adequate Statistics. Now we can't have a comparative all cause mortality before this pandemic and now. Are you aware that more than half of Nigerian population are infected with tuberculosis but only a few come down with clinical disease ? And majority of those who come down with clinical disease are those with other immunosuppressive comorbidities similar to what is obtainable with covid 19. Now why is there no lockdown for serious infectious airborne disease , nor isolation centers for infected persons ? I tell you most solemnly, the mortality from covid 19 in Nigeria is far less than mortality from other infectious airway diseases (Tuberculosis, Pneumonia etc). Before the pandemic , thousands of Nigerians die daily from this infectious diseases. The problem we having about this is that we are extrapolating and anticipating a similar scenario in the USA, Spain, Italy, Brazil, etc and also implementing same measures without a critical analysis of what is obtainable in Nigeria. Laziness has always been our problem else a study would have been done to ascertain if the measures we are currently taking outweighs the consequences on our economy

Fantastic Post from Charity 85!

FINESHIRT:
These figures are no longer a threat to people unlike before.

Because it's a sham!

jericco1:
They should just stop this daily reports because people have lost interest. Lives have gone back to normal. This is a scam!

GBAM!

SirWarlock:
How were you hoping for them to curtail the spread . With movement now in full swing it will take forever to contain the spread in the state. Add to the fact of our limited testing capacity. While the issue isn't going anytime soon, some form of containment must be achieved and won't happen if government just blatantly ignores and just lets everyone carry on with normal life.

Some people sha wants the Lockdown to continue perpetually. Tell us how much NCDC is paying you agents of Lockdown. O ga o!

This thing is getting worse everyday or are they manipulating the results for us

What a question to ask. Don't tell me you don't know that those figures from NCDC are FAKE!

Seerade029:
Thank God e don cut his hair.

Exactly. He is now looking fine, cool and gentlemanly. How I wish Zlatan Ibile would also cut his hair. Only God knows who introduced that style of hair to young Nigerian musicians. Tekno looks so horrible with that style. Thank God Kizz Daniel has not joined the craze!

ABUPHARM:
Do you agree that this is just another avenue to reloot Abacha's loots

YES!

linearity:
Na ojoro, you see say dem remove Kano State from the league table...for some days now Kano has not been participating at all on the league, which is highly suspicious!


Something fishy is happening, these are fake results.

It is because the Salah celebrations is near. They want to justify going out en masse on those days. They will return to the league table in full force after the Eidel Fitri celebrations. Watch out!
