The Ogun State Government has recognised the young doctor that initially attended to the Italian who had the index case of coronavirus in Nigeria.
Dr Amarachukwu Karen Allison is a young doctor at the Lafarge Clinic in Ewekoro, Ogun State. She attended to the Italian consultant to Lafarge and suspected that he had the virus. She subsequently alerted the health authorities who had the man tested and moved him to the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Lagos.
golddare: Not referring to your post directly but the Lagos state fliers you posted. More so this should not be an issue be it social distance or physical distance. The point WHO is trying to make is that social distance is too ambiguous rather physical distance.
At bold, but you were the one that made it an issue of physical distance or social distance. Besides, there's no ambiguity in the information that the Lagos State Government has been releasing. They actually specified that you should be at least 2 metres from the next person (especially if the person is coughing or sneezing).
Meanwhile, this was a complaint by a Malaysian earlier this week.
naptu2: Lots of people around the world are panicking (some of them unnecessarily) and this is creating strange situations. Here a Malaysian writes about how attempts to stop mass gatherings resulted in mass gatherings.
Balik Kampung = travelling to your village for holidays. Basically, people started travelling to their villages because schools and offices were closed.
How attempts to stop mass gatherings resulted in mass gatherings:
1. Delayed statement causing panic buying = gathering at shops
2. Closure of premises causing balik kampung rush = gathering on public transport
3. Police curbing balik kampung rush = gathering at stations
Mizwisdom: Why not ensure that hand sanitizers and water to wash hand are available in such establishments instead?
But we Nigerians are sometimes stupid. I popped into an eatery yesterday to quench my hunger pangs, the hand sanitizer which they gave the security staff to give to clients entering the place was hidden and consistently used by her alone. She was hoarding the stuff, something as little as hand sanitizer is now what someone is hoarding. This is why I don't blame them for closing the place because somebody will surely abuse safety rules thinking he's wise.
At bold. That is precisely one of the things that they are checking for. They released a directive to such establishments earlier this week and part of those directives state that they are to ensure that hand sanitizers are available for their customers and that they check the temperature of everybody that enters their establishment.
Look at the pictures again, you can see a sign at one of the establishments that was not closed down and the sign informs their customers that they are to use the hand sanitizers.
iamwok: He can shut down malls etc but what about markets all around lagos were the stalls are all cramped up. E.g. Idumota Enforcement in informal settings will be almost impossible.
tumababa: How many people are in a brt bus and even the busstop?
Governor Sanwoolu said that the big buses (BRT LBSL) will be instructed to carry no more than 47 passengers in each bus. He also spoke about danfos, but I think it will be much more difficult to enforce in danfos.
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency alongside the Lagos State Safety Commission has started enforcing the new rules on social gatherings. The rules state that there should be no gathering of more than 50 people at religious centres, clubs, bars, lounges, etc.
LASEPA has therefore sealed of Prime Mall and Mega One Plaza for violating the rules. See pictures below.
He wants me to pack and leave his house before or on March ending...
He said I can always come to check the kids, girl 5 years, boy 1 year 3 months.
He didn't talk about assets sharing.
He has a landed property and started work on it but not yet completed yet. I invested almost 500k into the laundry business he has.... Bought Gen, geepee tank washing machine.... Irons, shop rent etc.
But he is asking me to leave just like that... If not he will cause a scene....
How do I go about this?
ornicus: 1) you need a lawyer 2) you need evidence that you made those investments.if you have the receipts for the purchases or maybe evidence of transfers 3) you should also be prepared to cause your own scene. this is a time for my craze pass your own. 4) there are NGOs that can push your case https://www.legit.ng/1116142-agencies-responsible-protection-womens-rights-nigeria.html
