even with children he still brings his tribalism mentality.. Na only Hausa and almajiri him dey snap with.. No other child wearing any other attire representing other tribes in Nigeria... Lifeless president.

this is salah muslim celebration and they are northerners that are family members or friends...that's how northerners dress, why insulting them...what have those kids done to you ?...because they dress with their cultural attire.

olumide4christ:
A president is free to appoint whoever he wants into his kitchen cabinet...such people will not go through screening. Trump did it, Buhari did it, etc. Prof. Gambari did not go through any senate screening, same goes for Femi Adesina, Garba Shehu, etc.

oga if Buhari appointed family members into his kitchen cabinet won't you and others cry wolf

olumide4christ:
He appointed them into his kitchen cabinet, not the govt...get your facts right. Every govt agency or ministry appointee must be screened and approved by Congress, just like our National Assembly does here.

Ivanka and Jared Kuschner never went to Congress for any screening.

which makes it more controversial

Wiseandtrue:
Them think say na Nigeria them dey

Trump no appoint his daughter and son-in-law in his government

Stay safe, from what? COVID-19?

Don't you know, it is mich better to catch COVID 19 now in Nigeria where you are 99.99% sure of recovering showing mild or no symptom thereby gaining lifetime immunity than to later get it in future future abroad where survival rate is 11.2%

Stop spreading fear. COVID-19 is not lethal, fear kills faster.

survival rate of covid19 is very high ...more than 90%. Infact many ailments have higher mortality rate than covid 19

Davash222:
98% of Nigeria's Covid-19 deaths are just malaria and typhoid. Before this Covid-19, people die everyday in Nigeria, but, now every death is Covid-19 related. All thanks to buhari and APC

same thing you said is samething any of the 180 countries can say to

Roman7:
obviously they didn't move with arms.....and not at a time when all states borders are closed.....but these guys r doing in with arms....what for?

it doesn't make sense. They would easily move with arms when borders are open so why doing it now when it is far easier when borders are open which will soon happen. I just see conspiracy, people sharing videos and pushing a certain narrative on WhatsApp...that northerners are coming down to fight with southerners, what for ?....for what really ?...to conquer from lagos to cross river?...which should be realistic and stop playing to tribal gallery. The northern man is simply trying to survive up north not wanting to come and take your village

Johnbosco77:
Audio prosecution.....


80% are products of the almajiri system.

Including Abacha...

the Almajiri system was basically Islamic education but it has been exploited to what it is now. It wasn't like this earlier. In essence, it has outlive its usefulness and should be stopped

SavageResponse:
That's what quality food does

it is genes. If you don't have tall genes, eat fertilizer or not you won't be tall

Kemimarch16:
Some people don't just like to listen to simple instruction

which instruction... trump said everyone should come out and return to normal life

SweetBuns:
if you feel offended when the word "niqqa" is tagged unto you as a black man/woman, then you're not an OG African

we the black people have used that word amongst ourselves so much that its now a word of unity and belonging, not one of insult and racist jabs.

go anywhere, you'll see people (esp guys) greeting themselves using the nigga word

Nigga, what's up na?

ma niqqa!!!! how you day??

so I don't see a concrete reason why you should be offended by this trivial issue. no be him parents go marry you.
get off your high horse and reason

racism is deep and you might not relate if you are not in the culture or environment...black Americans call themselves nigga but why do they feel offended if a white person calls them so. Why will a white person be sanctioned if he publicly calls a black person nigga but blacks freely calls themselves nigga?...it is quite deeper than you think and you should try and understand the peculiarity and the history behind it

Faithful4real:
The guy disobey the law. Nobody is above the law.

which law?...you mean an order

Saintinoo:
like me, when am down with malaira, i only take Ginger juice and that's all.

When we tell people that coronavirus is not meant to kill Africans they call us covidiots..

Till today i am still wondering why the government went on lockdown in Nigeria... Markets are full everywhere, people still travel, churches and Majids still open and we are not dropping dead yet.

Even the whites are suprise.

Actually they are

tutudesz:
Ignorance on the part of the patient yes, stigmatization on the part of the public. Infected patient are too scared to open up on their recovery because stigmatization from the public.

I get you...that's why it is far better in the western world...with proper enlightenment and education there won't be need to stigmatize

OdefaGirl:
I was in a very busy market today and I continued to imagine....."what if" this virus is real like it is in the US and other countries? We will be counting the losses maybe in thousands.....
Who knows what is keeping us all safe?

I think many have tried to answer why the infection rate and pattern of spread in Africa is lower compared to Europe and the US. WHO came up with Africa having the youngest population in the world as over 60% are below 25, this will reduce severity of the disease because the disease is known to be more severe among the old. Also the issue of genetic factor, adaptability ( Africa has seen a lot of epidemics), environmental factors etc. Nothing is very sure for now, with time proper studies will be done

foleskay:
You might be right on the age part, because Italy has one of d highest population of elderly people in the world, so maybe that's y d death toll is so much there. But concerning Africa I really can't deduce what's actually saving us. It could be climate or our immune system that have adapted to many deadly infectious diseases like malaria, tuberculosis etc. Some people actually treats malaria is without taking drugs. So in my lay man analysis, I think our system has adapted to many sicknesses in Africa that's y we re having low deaths.

you have a very strong point

tutudesz:
Infected people try hiding or refuse going for test, because people will stop associating with them if the result comes out positive. This logic applies to both HIV and Corona Virus.

but they test negative and recover within weeks which is not same with HIV...so stigmatization is ignorance in this case...

foleskay:
Covid 19 is real. God is just the one saving Africa ass. Brazil has taken over from Italy and Spain now to become another epicenter of the virus. Over 400k cases, and many deaths. I know people of that country wouldn't dare call d virus audio. Nigerians are running their mouths because the virus is not lethal and killing like in the other parts of d world. We realky need to thank God for saving us in Africa

but scientifically there must be a reason covid is not so bad in Africa...since February it has killed about 3,500 in Africa when things like malaria has killed more than that number within that time frame...there must be a scientific reason why covid is not devastating the Africa region despite us having poor health system...I think WHO was saying because Africa has the youngest population in the world, more than 60% of Africans are below 25...

tutudesz:
Because of stigmatization nobody want to come forward to say I know someone, just like HIV.

this and HIV is far different. In HIV the stigma is there because the person lives with the virus till death, while for covid the perosn recovers and test negative in 2-3 weeks. In HIV the mode of transmission is normally through sex so there is that stigma...In covid anyone can get it and not due to recklessness or so ....so i don't see why there should even be stigma because even Malaria has taken more life in Africa compared to this covid in same time frame

ednut1:
Are these stories real

if you read herdsmen kill farmer you won't ask if it is real...we all are bias

GeneralPula:
It’s the part of the world that seeing China as one great country..

Cold War my foot..

Wetin China get lol

do you know what a cold war is ?

Futuragetty:
I am particularly sad that the most promising drug, Hydroxychloroquine, has taken a fall. study finds that it's linked to increased deaths in COVID-19 patients, with no convincing benefit. with no vaccine at sight, and the hickin cases, USA cannot risk having people abroad coming into their country now.

so if vaccine never comes or the vaccine comes like in a year's time it means no one will travel to the US anymore or any other European country, trans-european flight has began....oga vaccine or no vaccine, travels are likely to kick start fully by next month as airlines are already preparing

NaijaOlosho:
Why not say Fulani herdsmen

how are they herdsmen ?

Nonso92:
I've seen a few people complaining about losing their sense of smell lately. Could it be Corona?

Anosmia is a strong symptom of covid. I know someone test positive and that was his only symptom he was showing at that time

hstar:
It happened to me and my brother that lives with me, we took agbo and some malaria drugs, within a week we recover. N.b I really lost my smelling sense no be small, I lost it to the extent that a strong insecticide was sprayed in our house I did not know, only for someone to enter and quickly rush out of the house and notify me dat the house has been sprayed, but I didn't even perceive anything

Anosmia is a strong symptom of Covid

[quote author=Yenefer post=89875929][/quote]problem with Islam...you guyz think it is a competition, competition of who will surpass who

Yenefer:
will u piss on your mummies bed or couch. U never liked any Muslims that's a fact from Qur'an

Allaah has stated in His Book that the kuffaar bear enmity towards us and they would not spare any effort to cause us harm, and they wish us ill, and they will not be pleased until we follow their way. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.

119. Lo! You are the ones who love them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures [i.e. you believe in the Tawraat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), while they disbelieve in your Book, the Qur’aan]. And when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe.’ But when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers at you in rage. Say: ‘Perish in your rage. Certainly, Allaah knows what is in the breasts (all the secrets).’

120. If a good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it. But if you remain patient and become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious — See V.2:2), not the least harm will their cunning do to you. Surely, Allaah surrounds all that they do”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:118-120]

“Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) till you follow their religion. Say: ‘Verily, the Guidance of Allaah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance.’ And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur’aan), then you would have against Allaah neither any Wali (protector or guardian) nor any helper”

[al-Baqarah 2:120]

Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The words of Allaah, “Take not as (your) Bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends) those outside your religion” mean people other than you, the followers of other religions. A man’s bitaanah (advisors, friends, etc) are his closest friends who know about his private affairs. Then he narrated the report of Ibn Abi Haatim with his isnaad from Ibn Abi’l-Dahqaanah, who said: It was said to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him): There is a slave from the people of Heerah who is literate; why don’t you employ him as a scribe? He said: Then I would have taken a bitaanah from people other than the believers. Ibn Katheer said: This report, along with this verse, indicates that it is not permissible to employ ahl al-dhimmah as scribes in a position of authority over the Muslims where they can become acquainted with their private affairs, where there is the fear that they may disclose them to enemies among ahl al-harb. Hence Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely”.

your religion is very obvious, full of hate...no love...always dividing or making it seem it is a war between we and them. Christianity basically teaches love no matter who you are, that's the difference

jayworld15:
Sars and Covid-19 are both coronaviruses. The only problem the world has started with China but that didn’t stop countries all around the world from taking precautionary measures. Our president floundered like the Americans’ lackadaisical action of not taking early measures. Ebola was new in Nigeria then but early measures was taken to counter it. Don’t be so stupid!

Government telling you they can tackle it means their downfall started from arrogance. Now they can’t even look uncle Covid in the eye let alone tackle it.

please get your facts right. Thought SARS and covid are coronaviruses, Covid is more contagious and spreads faster. We have more than 5 million having covid in the world while SARS was barely up to 5000. So SARS was easy to even manage for it never strained the world. Though Ebola is deadlier with about 60-80% mortality rate at a time but it couldn't spread so fast. Ebola was easy to contain because of the way it spreads, it is a hemorrhaging virus just like Lassa. It didnt spread through droplets but close person to person contact via someone fluid. Check howmany had Ebola in Africa and it was a number that could he contained and never a world health crisis

DrGoodman:
Dr. Jonathan, health minister Dr. Onyebuchi Chukwu and PDP swept Ebola out of Nigeria in less than a month.

which country has swept out covid in less than a month ?...Ebola was like lassa fever, it's spread was not as that of covid. It was easily containable. Covid is more contagious and spreads faster. For covid the world hasn't seen such before

Emperor Uzodimma


See as e loyal like preeeek when just discharge

that is not Uzodinma but a Ghanaian politician... See that part that was colored on the right was bearing the Ghanaian caot of arm

Tokziby:
Everyone is to be blamed. From the Federal Government to state govt to community leaders and youth leaders. All they do is to collect their shares at the expense of the larger community and environment. Once they see money they all shut up and do nothing. There's no hope for that region as long as the major stakeholders keeps collecting brown envelope.

true

sheke01:
San Francisco state University and all 23 campuses of California state University just announced that fall semester will be online. No in person class till at least 2021.

let's keep watching

This is just for California State University system which doesn't comprise of other Universities in California(e.g USC, UCLA etc). We all know that every institution is not certain most especially on International students making it for fall this year but many schools have resolved to have in-person classes this fall. I think come June/July things will get clearer concerning embassy reopening and International students. I think there is no need making things look gloomy or sad as we do follow the news and the trend of things. We will know better later
