We cannot shut our borders against our own citizens. The travel restrictions that was put in place yesterday doesn’t affect people with Nigerian passport. Most of the new cases that we’ve seen since yesterday are Nigerians who returned to the country.

More Nigerians who lived in Coronavirus ravaged countries will still return to the country and the figures of infected people in Nigeria will increase. What we should be looking at right now is how to contain the spread of the virus and not wailing about shutting borders.
I know all that. No country can shut its borders against their citizens, I concur. But in the west, as those citizens are arriving, they ask them to go in isolation with close monitoring especially if they're from the region experiencing the crises and at least, I know of italy and South Korea. The Nigerian government isn't ready for this but if it's to renovate the national assembly complex with billions of naira overnight, they'd get it done. Have you been to the yaba isolation centre? It cannot contain 50 patients at a go and lagos population with all Nigerian tribes represented and foreign nationals is over 19 million. Normally as they arrive, whether they show symptoms or not, they should be moved to an isolation facility created by the government for a minimum of 14 days and also tell others over there who are planning to come to remain and observe things... each time I watch foreign news and I see how prepared they are and compare same with what's obtainable locally, I sigh in fears.

So far, with the new cases recorded today, the number has soared to a min of 12 and that's like 60 hidden cases more...that is, 5 times more. Because those tested positive might have gone to churches, mosques, major malls, visited family members, friends, inlaws, hugged husbands , wives, children, etc and there's no way all those they have been in contact with wouldn't have also contracted the monster virus.

Last week, the health minister placed 2 names on a wanted list in the media that, they were looking for them because they came from the hard-hit regions...imagine, the people showed up 24-48 hours after they've been looking for them. Had they been led to an isolation facility as they arrived at the airport, there wouldn't have been any such stress. As we're giants of Africa on paper, we should also show it physically. It doesn't cost much to build a make-shift isolation centre if the government was really serious. I'd always remember Fashola for his role in the Ebola crises containment, the health minister of that time and the then government. Human life should come before any other thing ( economy, wealth, etc)

patients recover with proper care....what happens is drugs are used to controls symptoms while your immune system fights the virus...with time you recover but the old and very sick do have severe cases because their case usually leads to pneumonia which is the primary thing that kills them....of the 180,000+ cases world wide about 90,000+ cases have recovered....so all those joke of amala or whatever is just people that don't understand well...viruses usually dont have cures, drugs are usually used to control symptoms why your body fights the virus....what they try to get in virus cases are vaccines which enable the individual to build immunity against the virus

It's quite unfortunate the FG failed to shut out borders and airlines coming into the country on time.

CHLOROQUINE WORKS AGAINST COVID-19!!!
Can u believe it?! Our old malaria medicine!!

But u r right:

IF ONLY BUHARI HAD CLOSED OUR BORDERS LONG AGO LIKE EVERYONE WAS BEGGING HIM TO DO...

Now that they have closed them has the world ended??

They even refused to institute even ordinary mandatory quarantine of people from hot zones - it is a crime against humanity!!!

We have only 5 labs capable of testing for Corona Virus in Nigeria. Of the 5, 4 are in Southwest and 1 in Abuja. The governments in SW needs to take drastic actions to stop Corona from spreading out of the SW. That should be the major aim now. Shut down everything in the SW - Churches, parties, events, mosques, schools.

Otherwise........

Oh boy! Looks like things are getting messier real fast.

It's a no brainer. More cases are going to spring up. As we speak we may already have hundreds of unreported positive cases roaming within the populace.

Our only hope is our natural defense system and discipline in adhering to social distancing restrictions. Let's pray that infected persons continue to be asymptomatic.

Contagion rises once more.
People that are carriers and are asymptomatic,pose even greater danger. Because they can just as easily,spread the virus...perhaps unknowningly. Transparency in disclosure of infection status by these category of victims eases things a bit. But who is willing to put their reputation on the line,for the sake of transparency and public safety? You know how people stigmatize others for many things in this part of the world.
Secondly,folding our arms to rest our hopes on the strength of our immune system is neither pragmatic nor common sensical(if there's a word like that). The younger population (neonates and toddlers) whose immune system isn't quite sophisticated enough to deal with such kind of viruses are prone to suffer from this kind and die from it!

This is more than propaganda of this government. We weren't prepared and we were making mouth thinking we can tame it like Ebola. Na God hand we dey

We didnt tame Ebola. We were just lucky that some people sacrificed thier lives for the good of us all.

Asymptomatic? Not displaying symptoms means they can still spread the virus. Showing symptoms is best. That will enable the patient to go for treatment. I wanted to ask u if u actually understood what u wrote. No need, i kw d answer.


Thank you for calling attention to that. I missed the word "asymptomatic" when I read that.

This goes to prove that we are on our own in this world but religious fundies will keep praying and putting their hopes in imaginary beings until the virus wipes them off the face of the earth. The Spanish flu of the 1820s claimed over 40 million lives. Where was God? Sleeping I suppose.

Look at how a common virus is threatening the spread of the gospel and people want me to believe religion isn't man made. Churches and mosques are being closed all over the world and this doesn't seem to bother God who apparently cannot do without his children worshiping him

If churches and mosque can be shut down by men then it is safe to conclude they were invented by men. Nothing divine or magical about them. Let's hope this virus doesn't turn out worse than the Spanish flu but if it does, the same humans that closed their churches and mosques will go reopen them after the virus has decimated 1/3 of the human race to resume worship to gods that watched and did nothing. Dumb humans

I mean the church is where people run to when they need miracles why is it being closed now. Is this virus too powerful for them?
Now is the time for religious Gods to prove themselves but they won't; watch how they'd cower behind their followers they are failing and will fail to protect.

Now is the time for the true God; Yahweh, Allah, Zeus or whoever to unite the human race under one religion that is if they truly wanted to save the human race from eternal damnation. Don't come and preach to me the Jesus loves me hackneyed rhetoric when he couldn't prove himself for the whole world. I won't listen

the biggest threat right now is out there which is immigration between land borders cos that one , there is no records, there is little to no adequate information to be conveyed on time .

the US national who came in through land border is our biggest threat right now cos by now who ever he had contact with is probably in one village celebrating his return trip.

Imagine, those immigration and airport staffs that are collecting peanuts at the airport from travellers. They will even do handshake and collect the coronavirus before begging for one thousand naira. This country called Nigeria is just a joke. Where all our politicians are just talking but no action to backup. The cases of coronavirus is increasing everyday in the country, meanwhile the government is busy boasting we are doing everything. God should help us kill all these politicians before we all doom.

But if he didn't have a travel history, how did they know that they needed to test him? I feel maybe he was in contact with one of the people that tested positive that's why. Cos I don't think they will just randomly pick someone from nowhere and just start testing him or her for the virus.


Because he had symptoms and probably went to the hospital.

No need for panic, the virus doesn't survive a temperature above 28degrees Celsius and the temperature down here in Nigeria is far above that. So there's nothing to fear, just keep maintaining proper hygienic measures. It is going to be well.
