Covid-19 Vs Security operatives Vs Hungvid-19
11. 19. 1

Iyiataata92:
What then is the essence of staying at home because of coronavirus if we will still die by the guns of these security forces?
They've indeed killed more Nigerians than the coronavirus they are protecting us from

Some of us predicted this before the lockdown commenced that more people were going to die in the hands of security operatives than from Covid-19 virus.

This actually indicates that there's a deep flaw in the training and psyche of every security personnel allowed to wield a gun in this country.

It seems they are in a race to outshine the virus

Hungvid-19 wan kill street boys. You will all meet your Waterloo. Wrong timing.

Everybody dey hungry

If he can then oyo state is the first to genuinely commence tackling this problem

That's their own way of reacting to Covid-19. We cannot come and kill ourselves because of common virus

Food scarcity loading....

Food insurance to the rescue

Farki:
Farms and Food companies are not nationalized in most countries.

Whenever food production was nationalized like in China, Soviet Russia, Zimbabwe and Venezuela millions died of famine because the government officials had no clue how to mange the infrastructure and corruption.

Although even if we dismantle current governments people of similar ideology will group together to form their own types of government. This is because it's very easy for private entities to take advantage of people without any checks in place.

Get it. It's time like these that government needs to come in and coordinate essential duties.
No one is saying they should take full control, but play its policing role during times of crises like this.
They've always been the missing link even without the pandemic.

Food security and socio-economic insurance somehow goes hand in hand. As it is, the privately controlled system of food cultivation and distribution is failing before everyone's eyes not because they can't do their work but because they've been hampered by the lockdown imposed by the same government for everyone's good.

This is where government should step in temporarily

teadrake:
Why is Nigeria missing from the list

These are countries with lowest foreign reserve

Non of the three is a financial powerhouse. Aside from China, the rest are inconsequential

Notice the effective use of surveillance drones.

Olominira:
Any 5G without Huawei is just modified 4G. So far only China and countries that partner with Huawei have the real 5G. The type MTN is rolling out in Nigeria. However, it's stupid to think 5G causes virus......extreme stupidity at that!

That's not true. Ericsson was first to deploy 5G in 35,000 sites all over south Korea. This was far back as April 2019.
Their coverage includes the 3.5ghz mid range band for ubiquitous mobile use and 26ghz higher band in hotspot areas like central business districts that require ultra fast internet.
Huawei equipments are only cheap and therefore affords low income capacity countries like ours to be able to deploy.

Do de recruit surveyors? Does shipping companies recruit surveyors? Have been home for too long, really need a job

Do you want to survey the Atlantic Ocean

rawtouch:
ok, the awawa boys should pay their reps at local, state and federal level a visit and collect their own palliatives from them and their families instead of disturbing people who are also struggling to make ends meet

They are too smart to try such because they know these people live in highly guarded places and will be shot at sight.

Geosystem:
Finally I did travel as I said earlier. Am in Abuja now. However I must say that, it was stressful in the sense that, at every check point you are made to part with something by NPF manning the post. In the end was it worth it? Yes! Am home now with my family and that's what matters.

If everyone decides to travel like you, I guess this would be fair

DZTech:
If you knew the level of corruption in the whole project, you would just enter your inner room to go and weep.

With the way they're trying to steal every available kobo, it's as if they actually BELIEVE the virus is a joke!
This confirms the pervasive stupidity of Nigeria's elite.
Just protect you and yours, because what’s coming will be cataclysmic.

Heads will roll. The knack for the looting of public funds by public servants and politicians who are in cohort
If each test cost 10,000naira like they say, are we saying we cannot afford 50 million Naira to test at the least 50,000 people.

The lockdown would just amount to a failure

9gerian:
Most of the people to drive shipments are likely under lockdown.

Also, the farm output and logistics may be mostly local and may not have factored interstate shipment especially with perishable goods that do not use preservatives (based on customer requirements and local regulations). So the farm needs to purge itself of wastes in the short term to survive.

This is similar to the close of Nigeria’s borders where trucks of goods got stranded. All perishable goods become a problem for the driver (and owner of the goods) in a matter of days.

Force majeure!

This is where government should have intervened. If only government duties could be outsourced.

This is one area that governments globally have failed woefully. Food security has always been the exclusive of private companies and individuals.

It exposed the incompetents of government to coordinate proper food distribution along the entire food value chain. And you have knuckleheads chairing boards of that useless UNFPA.

Sometimes, I ponder if humanity actually need government to survive. Aside from taxing individual to death and making Draconian laws that put hindrance to human development, engaging in senseless wars, printing and controlling where and how money flows, what better use is government?

Adakintroy2:
Worry about deflation rather. Right now the system is in need of balance. So many areas of the economy is down and people are not willing spent. Sharing money may increase spending. Its a form of stimulus for the econmy.

Already seeing tomatoes rot away in markets this afternoon. Consumers are not keen on spending the little on them.
This might discourage market women and off takers from bringing more food to those in need in the cities.
In turn, farmers might down tools too

engrchykae:
it's because the Chinese knew the USA better than many USA asslickers.
When you use these apps of USA,be very sure your privacy isn't guaranteed a

How many Chinese apps do you have on your phone? There's nothing the Chinese are doing that other countries cannot do.
The Chinese are maximizing industrial slavery to the benefit of their sovereign state. Majority of Chinese citizens are still peasants despite the fact that they've been able to move a large number of their people up the economic ladder.
Thanks to greedy capitalist owners of western corporation, especially America.

vioment:
Japan is not Nigeria.
I don't care what they do.

Nigeria could've/can been/be the manufacturer of the world.


China has the infrastructure and discipline to survive all these hate.

I am not a Chinese apologist but I don't like a lazy man's hate. This is a case of bushmeat wey catch the hunter. All these buyers and sellers were looking for slaves to do their hard work, until they figured that China is not a slave nation like Nigeria, they have and always have a plan.


If that loud mouth for Yankee gets his way, every Nigerian and African will be on the plantation or else, and if China have their way, they will expand their country to the whole of Africa.

None of them stand with us. We have to move in our own way with sense. You piss any of them off, they can delete enough of us. After all we are the almajiris and pity me people of the world.

Let us know our level. We are in nursery school while the serious ones are the nysc graduates.

Find a way to benefit from their hate against each other. We need light. Light is like an engine in a car, without it, that car can't move no Mata how good looking the car is.

The only thing China has to offer is cheap labour and poor quality brands.

There's no such thing as made in China but assembled in China. Most components in your phone especially chipsets are designed in other countries but assembled and coupled in China.

Sometimes, components are imported from over seven countries before ending up in Chinese plants.

It's time the military is brought into the picture. NPF with all the SARS operatives will always disappoint

BabaOwen:
Why do you say this? IBB and Abacha started ruining the military from the 80's.

Yes, despite the rot, officers were dedicated and discipline was a culture among the low ranking officers despite the fact that nepotism was rife.

From the the quelling of maitatsine riot, bakassi conquest, to the peace keeping missions all over Africa, we had a military that was focus on getting result.

The military of today (under the democratic dispensation) is really a far cry from what we use to have.

Why must they return from Lagos. Inter state travel should be banned for now or else we will be in lockdown for another month

SamuelAnyawu:
If you bring even 100 APC to Gudzamala ISWAP must still attack if they know COAS is spending a week there. Gudzamala is like a traditional shrine to ISWAP where most of their top "Amir" resides.

Lemme don't say much shaa

It will be foolhardy to deploy the armed forces in these places and still continue to maintain a defensive posture.
The only language these rag heads understand is violence. Send them running in different directions, far from been able to regroup, then send in the SFs to do the mop ups.
A sustained, coordinated offensive from air, sea and land for two weeks can go a long way to destabilise their plans.
Pre election 2015, it was done. It can be done again, only this time, it must be sustained further.

With Covid-19, crippling the economy at this point, this war might be unsustainable on the long run.

SamuelAnyawu:
Buratai should not be relocated to Maiduguri, he should spend quality time in Marte, Abadam,Kukawa, and Gudzamala

Maiduguri would be okay for a general

Kalapizim:
We all know it won't work.

What will the chief of Naval staff be doing in Borno ?

Desperate time calls for desperate measures. It's time arm chair general's quit their comfy offices and leaf by example.
At this time when needed equipments are arriving, this will be a big morale booster.
As for the chief of naval staff, the military must be seen working in sync. Moreover, all hands must be on deck.The entire lake Chad must be fully commandeered and under lockdown

ugo4u:
I thought the President gave an express order immediately he sworn in 2015 to the military Chiefs to relocate to the northeast wasn't the orders carried out ne? it's well

At this point, every head of military arm should be ordered to relocate to Bornu.

Kudos to the boys.

Seems the Chadian onslaught is sending shiver down BH pants. Our CJTF ( Chibok branch) are taking their own pound of flesh. According to ManassehAllen on twitter

Kudos

komekn:
In an attrition war you don't wait for the enemy you go to him.

Now that Boko will have many wounded, are disorientated, thier arms supply limited and thier moral at a very low point.

Is this the intended military strategy to win this war❓

Should we not be ones hitting them with everything now, they are on the run, we should be running to get them. They are at thier weakest point.

It's time to attack relentlessly and very strongly.

I miss the NA of the 80s-90s. The Tchadians are like hyenas. They make a mockery of you when you look weak and defeated.

It's amazing how they have made the best use of the social media platform for the world to see.

SamuelAnyawu:
The Army base in Damasak, Gubio, Magumeri and Gudumbali are all on red alert just in case ISWAP tries to attack as they are relocating massively.

We are fine if ISWAP does not attack any base as they are trying to find a new home

This right here is the very approach that gives these terrorists the needed oxygen to mutate and carry out more attacks.

You don't win a war like this on the defensive. Bomb them to disarray and send in the ground troops to do the mop-up.

The opportunity has presented itself for us to show off our kill and redefine the narratives.

komekn:
The admittance of FAILURE is the beginning OF SUCCESS. As you are able to address your shortcomings, gaps, inadequacies and strive for Success.

The denial of failure when you have failed is continued FAILURE. It will result in the enthronment of mediocrity as competence.

Does anybody here think that the Chadians are better equipped than the NA ❓ I noticed that the Chadians soldiers don't even have body armour, but are unflinching in the face of the battle.

What's the difference between the NA and the Chadian army ❓❓

It's difficult to make self- assessment yourself because you will be most likely be hopelessly biased.

When Nigerian soldiers went to Mali during the French led operation Serval. They were left to do guard duty the reports about our soldiers and thier lack of capacity were not flattering.

The external examination of our military over the past years by informed would be partners and the outside world has not been good on all fronts.

On the other hand the reports about the Chadians soldiers has been almost legendary they were in the thick of the fight. Reports about Chadian soldiers as the desert warriors of Africa have continued almost unabated. They have earned respect and world wide acclaim.

We seem to rely on past glories of decades ago with regards to the NA. We talk about Ecomog in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

In management one persons competence and outstanding ability exposes the ineptitude and incompetence of another.

Idriss Déby has by his competence exposed our ineptitude and incompetence, very sad but a bitter truth.

Will we NOW wake up accept our failing and stop sweeping our incompetence under the carpet address them and pursue progression to address this rot.

How then do we move forward to victory having accepted our failings. ❓❓❓

I was actually looking for special forces personnel among them. There was none. Just battle hardened soldiers who weren't scared of dying
