This is stupid. I hope it doesn't affect Nairaland. The #ShutDownNigeria people don't have a very deep understanding of how an economy works. The vast majority of business activities in a developing country like Nigeria are essential. Very few people go to Lagos just for fun. Our leaders think that shutting things down is a viable alternative to massive testing and isolation of those who test positive, and we are cheering them on. There is no quick fix to the Coronavirus. There is no alternative to massive testing, isolation and contact tracing. We have to use our brains.

To be shutting down a country to stop a virus is like shooting a man dead to kill the sickness in his body. Does it work? Yes. But it's also stupid. I say instead of that, find a drug that targets the sickness in his body and kills it without killing the man. That's the only real solution to this issue.

Ogun governor is even closing international borders ?
Lol ... this Buhari is a shithole, I swear.

When we tell zombies that Abba Kyari is the de facto president of Nigeria and that Buhari is just a piece of Mannequin decorating
the Villa, they argue.

Since Kyari was quarantined for Covid 19, nothing seems to be happening in the villa again. No one is giving orders.
Buhari is senile, lifeless and only used in the Villa for photoshoot.

Every governor is now a president and commander-in-Chief of his state.

It means , every rational being in Nigeria is tired of the way that lifeless being in aso rock thats all..

My business does not run on food and medicines. Let's say my inverter gets damaged and I need spare parts from Alaba. What happens then?

Do these guys know that food moves from one state to another through interstate? What are the measures taken to ensure they have sufficient food and commodities to cushion the effect of what this decisions will lead to? I hope these don't lead to Chao's

There are only two countries whose efforts to beat the Coronavirus have been really successful. China and South Korea. I suggest that they are the only people that we should be listening to. They both encourage the widespread use of facemasks. They both do massive testing and isolation of infected people. China shut down part of their country but South Korea didn't do that despite having around 1,000 new cases per day at peak. They just continued to do every smart thing that could reduce the rate of transmission of the virus, and it worked and is working.

If you put a mask on every face, educate everybody about how to conduct their business without spreading the virus, and do massive testing of all people suspected to have the virus, and that doesn't work (it will), that's when you can start thinking of shutting things down. Our politicians won't even distribute face-masks to market women in Lagos who are begging them for it, or wear them, but they want to #ShutDownNigeria.

My business does not run on food and medicines. What happens if my inverter or generator gets damaged and I need spare parts from Lagos?Coronavirus is a complicated problem, and it requires high IQ solutions. Low IQ solutions like randomly shutting things down won't cut it.

Shikini:
Oga Seun, first, the world is no longer talking about economy for now. It's survival first. Only the living discuss economy.

Besides, shutting down is a measure being copied from countries worst affected - China, Italy, UK, US, Iran etc and for real, it helped contained
the spread as we have seen in China and Italy lately.

Third, Nigeria can't do massive testing because they are no enough test kits available. The 20,000 test kits that Jac Ma donated is being
used for Aso Villa, governors and politicians. I hear NCDC personnel are usually happy testing politicians because they get cash gratification
in return. As a poor man, you'll call their line until Jesus comes .... no answer.

I fear for Naija's future

onegig:
Closing interstate borders is actually very silly at this point.

You can limit movement but closing? Also states don't have jurisdictions over federal roads. Are you telling me you are going to Lock Lagos-ibadan expressway and limit the movement of millions moving to other states ?

What about fuel tankers? People returning from Lagos to other states? It takes only one essential service person to infect thousands so closing interstate borders won't work.

We aren't testing enough so we can nip things in the bud
and isolate people we are closing interstate borders instead. Like there is a physical border between Lagos and Ogun that you can just carry stick and block the movement of people. Nigerian politicians are always dumb, always putting the cart before the horse.

simple250:
Major reason why governors are closing their borders to prevent the spread to common man .Davido was able to test 31 crew members less than 48hrs and they claim testing kits is not enough.

ProtectMyMoney:
Someone, should please tell all these Governors to use the opportunity to fix all the pot hole damaged roads in their states.


Thank you....

These are the troublers of Nigeria/ns, their god is in their belly and they will sell their mothers to remain a stooge in the palace than be amongst the suffering people.
We have so many examples of them in the Bible.
People that have sold their souls to the devil for a morsel of food.
They have no human feelings or compassion their conscience has been pierced with hot iron.
They worship the gods of the earth and think they will be around forever!

RedBlackPepper:
Our able and proactive governor, we know you can do it and we give you all our full support if that will solve the problem.

Okortor:
You are right sn.
