This total lockdown is not making any sense to me.. Lock down in Nigeria for 14 days , how do they expect Average citizens to survive when they depend on daily hustle to make ends meet.

Why not place a curfew from 8pm - 5am, then they can fumigate/ quarantine the cities..

I do not think there is any proper plan from both FG and states affected.

Let them think it twice

So the virus can spread during the day, and sleep at night right?

Read what you post sir, curfew should be placed 8pm to 5am.

What will happen during the day?
Normal activities resumes??

Well I am under such curfew here for days now... 14 days in total

Is that not better than total lockdown?

There is no plan other than to copy the west. They need to consider how long the lockdown is intended for and whether they expect the virus is going to disappear after the lockdown?

There is no reliable means of measuring progress as there aren't enough tests or test kits available. If someone in a village in Benue feels unwell, where do they go for testing? This partly explains why the positive cases are disproportionately made up of the political elite - they are conducting tests on only a tiny segment of the population.

In the west, part of the rationale for locking down is that not doing so risks overwhelming the public health system particularly given that their population is skewed towards elderly people. We have no public health system to speak of in Nigeria and a largely young population who won't be affected by this.

Rather than locking down the country and subjecting an impoverished populace to more hunger and deprivation, our leaders to stop copying measures seen on CNN. The lockdown is not sustainable and we ought to work within the limitations/constraints of our society.


PS: Curfew as a substitute for lockdown is pointless. If a lockdown is ineffectual, a half-measure such as a curfew is even more so.

Which state?

If curfew is placed between 8pm to 5am then it's meaningless.

Or you mean 8am to 5pm

Curfew can't be placed in the night when it's needed in the day.
