Over the last couple of weeks, Nigeria has experienced it's first case of corona virus in Nigeria and has been battling it's severity since then. Through this period, Nigeria can be said to be slowing winning the war against the epidemic (yes, I call it epidemic because what we are experiencing here in Nigeria and probably Africa in terms of the virus is quite different from what other parts of the world is experiencing). Looking at stories we've read and seen around the world on this virus, the future really looked bleak for Nigeria considering our healthcare system and level of preparedness after we recorded the first case on the 27th of February 2020. Fortunately for the country, the positive or not so bad out turn of events after almost 6weeks of the first case have left many doubtful on the claim that the corona virus is active in Nigeria. This led to my study of the trend in Nigeria and coming up with the following postulates of which I believe one out of these postulates must be true. *Note:* These are mere postulates with no scientific backup and were only derived from the study of the behavioral trend of the virus in Nigeria. 1. A less aggressive strain of the virus is present Nigeria: Looking at the very low and almost non-existent complexities (like severe breathing difficulties) and the death rate from the cases recorded in Nigeria as compared to other parts of the world. One can be made to believe we have a less viral strain in the country. According to Reuters { https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN20R07Z } [/b]" The preliminary study found that a more aggressive strain of the new coronavirus associated with the outbreak in Wuhan accounted for about 70% of analyzed cases, while 30% were linked to a less aggressive type. The prevalence of the more aggressive virus type decreased after early January 2020, they said. " From this report, there is a possibility that the minimal complication and low mortality rate of the virus in Nigeria is as a result of the presence of a less aggressive strain. This can explain why we haven't seen people dying on the streets or at home at an abnormal rate. However, this postulation might not be totally acceptable simply because not only Nigeria but Africa in general has minimal complications from the virus also. Could it be possible that only the less aggressive strain is finding its way to Africa? 2. The weather condition of Africa is responsible for the minimal complications The limitation of postulation 1 above gives rise to postulation 2. According to the Q & A on corona viruses by WHO, {https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses} " Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment)." This shows that the hot temperature in Africa might lessen the time the virus persist on surfaces and in turn lead to lesser transmission of the virus. This can explain why Nigeria and Africa in general have recorded few cases of the virus and low mortality rate. 3. Strong immune system of blacks? This is a less unlikely postulate but considering how Africans have normalised malaria and other sickness which might be fatal to the whites, one might take this on a second thought. However, the limitation of this is that African migrants abroad are not spared in the fatality of this virus over there and there is also a claim that African - Americans constitute 70% of corona virus death in the US according to BBC (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-canada-52194018) This can only mean the strong immune system of the black race might not be a stumbling block to the novel Covid-19. This gives more credence to 1 and 2 above. Italy recorded it's first case of Covid 19 on January 31st, one month after she recorded about 8000 deaths and 2 months after about 18,000 deaths. US also recorded it's first case on January 15th and 2 months after, the death rate is between 16,000 to 18,000 though many deaths are said to not be reported. Nigeria on the hand recorded it's first case on February 27 and almost a month and half after, there are lesser than 10 deaths. Readers would agree with me that these records doesn't tally and something must be responsible. It is definitely not government efforts in curtailing it or good health care system or prayers of our clerics but a natural event which might be due to one of the the 3 postulates above. The high recovery rate is also a very positive indication as about 18% of registered cases have recovered fully and tested negative twice I urge the NCDC and Lagos State governmebt to publicly announce it's treatment procedure for the recovered patient so others can follow. It's obvious we don't have a much similar problem as the outside world, our method of approach in curtailing the problem should not also be exactly similar. I'll advise the government to again publicly announce it's treatment procedure which seems to be working fine ( if what they have been feeding us is true) so others can follow at home as there are many roaming the streets who have the virus but are asymptomatic and many never get tested and as such act as carriers of the virus. This may not be too safe medically but it will be a good approach. In conclusion, the total lockdown of the top states in the country has not been effective enough as it was not and can not be fully enforced and in reality palliative measures won't get round especially to those that need it. Therefore, in addition of publicly announcing treatment procedure, the lockdown should be called off after one week extension and stringent policies should be put in place to ensure everyone complies with preventive measures. --------------- Olaboye33@gmail.com

False. Even the 'men of God are smart enough not to ridicule themselves during this period. |

A good warrior knows when to fight and when to run. Call him cry cry or fear fear if you like, he has lived 22 years after Abacha and is still living. |

Time Bomb waiting to explode. Suddenly our pastors 'who speak to God' are all keeping mute. |
Tinubu just like Abba kyari just recently came back from abroad and as expected, he's not self isolating. Nigerian elites in their usual overbearing and greater than all attitude will ignore all safety measure and think their olumba olumba would safe them. Unfortunately for them, this virus is made in China and is immune to all African Shields. Unfortunately for us, they are putting our lives in danger with their unwiseness. |
Don't be surprised those who tested positive are doing very fine and can withstand the virus just like any flu. But the panic mode we've been put on would make us think hell is here. |
What's worse is that the white man who died in ekiti due to corona virus spent two weeks in Ibadan with his driver. His driver just tested positive. A rally this big then held today in Ibadan. The coming weeks is going to be really tough and rough. #ibadan should be quarantined and isolated. |
This is not a wise decision to me. They corps members have been in camp close to two weeks now before the third corona case was detected in Lagos. They are safer in camp than being outside for now when authorities are still trying to trace those who made contacts with the lady who tested positive. This is very unnecessary and would cause avoidable panic. |

So much politics have been played since the early hours of today than probably the whole of 2019. Give it to oshiomole, he's a dogged fighter. |
Like Dino like obiano .. |
tripua:Please kindly send to olaboye33@gmail.com Thanks. |
Onojanson:Lol.. All those you mentioned are simply preachers of the gospel with no known miracle performed. Miracles started and ended with the Bible brother. Then re-invented in Africa where black magic exists. |
Onojanson:Forget the tales in the bible and give me the name of one white pastor who performs miracles. |
Onojanson:How come the white men who introduced the religion to the black don't or can't perform miracles?... Christianity was fused with African traditional powers or sometimes stage work to re-brith the miracles read in the bible. |
spirul77:Alakoba |
Post Tinubu just like post Buhari would be bad for Lagos and Nigeria respectively. Strong institutions shouldn't move about a single man only if they are bound to last. As usual, baba would call his boys to order but who will call the boys to order after baba? |
