Since the Chinese came...we have been having double digits...meanwhile whybis lagos breaking away from announcing nationally?

Lagos is not breaking away from announcing nationally. Lagos State has always announced every case of covid 19 that has occurred in the state, right from the Italian that first had it. In fact, I think it was the Lagos State Government that first announced the case of the Italian.


The National Centre for Disease Control subsequently started announcing the total number of cases nationally, but states have also been announcing the number of cases within their jurisdiction. For example, Kano State also announced today that there are 5 new cases of covid 19 in their state. https://www.nairaland.com/5794849/5-additional-cases-covid19-confirmed

People with that name that are in the national view are many!

Yeah. There's also a former military governor that had that same name. He died in 2018.

MrBONE2:

Yes, I've already created a thread about that. https://www.nairaland.com/5794849/5-additional-cases-covid19-confirmed

The Lagos State commissioner of health, Professor Akin Abayomi has announced that 25 new cases of Covid 19 have been confirmed in the state.

It appears to me that these pictures were taken at Race Course Bus Stop.

A lot of people in Lagos have been worried about what the so called "area boys" will do during this lock down. They believe that the "area boys" might turn to crime if they can't get enough money to buy food to eat.

Well, the Lagos State Government has commenced the distribution of food to area boys and girls in the state. The area boys and girls are called "good boys and good girls" by the government.


The food was donated by Cactus Restaurant on Victoria Island.

This was made known by the chief press secretary of the Lagos State governor, Mr Gboyega Akosile.


Gboyega Akosile @gboyegaakosile

The Lagos State Resilience Office (LASRO) has started dailiy food supplies to minimum of 250 "good boys and girls" in parts of Lagos. The prepared meal is donated by Cactus restaurant as part of support in the #COVID19 lockdown. Lagos is a resilient city, we will win the battle.

He doesn't wear face masks at any of the meetings at the Villa. Instead, the guests are screened, made to sanitise their hands and in some cases wear gloves, before they go in to see him.

From where?

Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari was the head of the Lagos State Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) from c2009 - 2013 and he performed wonderfully well in that role. He is currently the head of the Inspector General's Intelligence Response Team (IRT). The statement by the police said that the IRT would be deployed to Lagos and Ogun, so I said that he might be coming back to Lagos (where he first became famous).

mfm04622:
From where?

Abuja (I've just realised that I might have to explain which of the Abba Kyari I was referring to).

The scene made me smile. Such swordsmanship! By the time they were done the other guy's hair was like mine on a bad hair day.

My favourite scene though is where Percy's wife is telling him that he is no longer the man she fell in love with. Almost made me cry

Percy can be an asshole when he sets his mind to it. Remember when he is teasing McKellen's character about his 'damned cravat.'

You see, I'm a bit of a po-it
You just did not know it

This means that Abba Kyari might return to Lagos.

The Scarlet Pimpernel-

Fantastic acting by a talented cast. Ian McKellen has been old as long as I can remember so it is nice to see him in his much younger years, but the star is Anthony Andrews himself. That damned, elusive pimpernel!

They seek him here,
They seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in Heaven?
Or is he in Hell?
That damned, elusive, pimpernel.

I was arrested from the very first scene. A classic.

Easily 4.5 stars.

Naptu2, you try

I forgot to ask you what you thought of one of my favourite scenes, the scene in which he removed his opponent's buttons with his sword.

makewetalk2:
I will take the "infant" shade as a compliment. Nevertheless, palliative is not the right word to use. I am not here to denigrate you but to give a brother a 'hand up'. I am not trying to be a sage either. I am into this field and I can confirm that the word is utterly wrong. Next time, find a word or phrase out of the list below to use.

present, donation, offering, contribution, handout, presentation, bestowal, largesse, alms, charity, bonus, award, premium, bounty, boon, favour, bequest, grant, endowment, benediction, handout, aid, benefit, charity, subsidies, alms, dole, donations, food gifts, gift share, portion, modicum, quota, donation, parcel, welfare, almsgiving, pittance, philanthropy, dispensation, buroo, distribution, division, relief, subsistence, allotment, apportionment, trifle, mite, government benefit, public assistance, allowance, living relief assistance, social assistance

The word "palliative" is exactly the right word to use (depending on the intent of the user). Remember, a word can have several meanings and English is a living language. I recommend that you check the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary.

2) (formal) (usually disapproving) an action, a decision, etc. that is designed to make a difficult situation seem better without actually solving the cause of the problems

"Grants by themselves provide little more than a temporary palliative to ailing industries".

https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/american_english/palliative


They could mean items that are meant to reduce the pain of the lock down, without actually removing the lock down. This is quite basic.

Furthermore, you can check the third definition in Merriam-Webster Dictionary. These are items that are meant to moderate the intensity of the suffering that is caused by the lock down.
