COVID-19: How are people in your area complying with social distancing?



Side GiG



So this guy and his babe walked into a bag shop very close to where I'm standing now. The guy is clad in protective gears; face mask and gloves and maintains his distance from with people.

His babe on the other hand wore a regular sleeveless gown. Obviously she was too engrossed in the bag pricing to feel disturbed about the COVID-19.

What I find amusing about this setup is that while the guy is protecting himself, the babe is not toeing in the same path.

At the end of the day, she would say a Big Thank You in Za Ozza Room to the guy who sponsored the bag shopping . If she is eventually infected with the virus today or [later on another dooms day], the guy would gladly collect the virus with wide spread arms.

Location: ENUGU CITY


There is partial compliance to social distancing over here.

If you ply from New Market to Coal Camp via "Keke" , you would have to pay a double fare of N100 ( instead of N50) as riders adopt government's directives on 2 passengers per "Keke"

However commercial bus drivers plying New Market to Old Park/Obiagu are not adhering to this rule. Number of passengers remained unchanged as the time of filing this report.

Below are some popular routes in Enugu City with compliance with the COVID-19 social distancing guideline and increases in fares as caused the guideline

1. New Mark- Camp
Keke: incompliance
Change in fare: N100 against N50
Bus: not in compliance
Change in fare: none

2. New Market - Old Park/ Obiagu

6. Enugu - Nsukka (Peace Mass transit and Ifesinachi Transport in compliance; 2 passengers per seat)

How has their compliance affected the fares?

Staying at home will do better but I must confess it's not easy

I got groceries and other stuffs that would run me for 3 months as today would be my last outing (I work from home though). Not everyone has the cash to this panic buying of a thing.

Just yesterday we were informed here that Enugu state government will impose a state-wild lockdown till further notice. (This affects all/most markets across the state)

While I was doing my purchasing I would wondering how people who rely on daily hustle would feed during this period.

I couldn't help but pity the labourers especially hawkers and wheelbarrow pushers. (By this time last 2 years I was a wheelbarrow pusher) so I understand how they survive

Walking out of the market towards "Uwa Mgbede", you will see petty traders all line up with there petty wares, I can bet my balls these people can't stay a week at home and still have something to eat.

For Naija only God hand we dey!

people are not obeying the social distancing,its best to stay at home
