That's why I just shake my head at some mumu people mocking US, UK, Italy etc, that upon their best healthcare Coronavirus is showing them pepper but we only have 300 cases bla bla bla. These dummies don't know that US is doing mass testing, tested over 1 million people already, so they are able to get better statistics of their infection rate, also able to get better statistics of their fatality rate. But here, they are not doing mass testing, and DELIBERATELY too, so they can keep the figures low and people think they are working and doing well. But all dat format na scam. People are dying everyday but because there's no mass testing, nobody know what killed them, whether na coronavirus or not. May God save Nigerians from Buhari govt, because their level of incompetence, corruption and wicked politics of politicizing and gambling with the lives of Nigerians can sink the country to the ground.

Our problems are not ordinary in this jungle.

The game is rigged. All Seun's threads make front page

Hahahaha! What do you expect na? He is the bleeping owner plus he makes Sense ALL THE TIME.

Nigeria will rise again

Luvdbyursista:
Great Analysis..Would be glad if I can get a lead to the slurce if these statistics..would need it for research..Thank you

google worldometer on coronavirus

babytoun:
Test per million ratio shows that nigeria has tested only 24 people per million . This is the third worst in the entire world which only betters the ratio of mozambique and Malawi

Even small Niger Republic has tested 4600

Can you imagine

joeluv:
The thing about testing is that at this stage you don’t just test at random, so they can’t test more than the population of interest at this point. We are just lucky it’s yet to spread to poor area. Whn this spreads to poor areas u wld visibly see death clusters. We still need to improve on our testing.

You now know more than all other countries that have identified rapid testing as a key measure to stop the spread?

Millz404:
With the way things are done in this country sometimes i think the country is under some kind of curse. They are more interested in embezzling the funds for testing than bother with testing anybody.

People that are making money off the bokoharam crisis.. you think corona will be an exception?

Thank God people are not dropping dead on the streets, i think people are busy infecting others and recovering without even knowing it.That is our saving grace.

Exactly my thought.....This virus has pass through many people body system without even knowing it...thinking that it is just ordinary malaria. Making money out if it...What i am even saying, a government that can't share COVID food items judiciously......sharing 1 paint of rice to feed a family of 5...lool

Seconded...

Ok

babytoun:
The is very very worrisome. Testing speed and coverage is a key determinant of how easily a country can manage this pandemic

How on earth can it be explained that Ghana has tested 7 times more than Nigeria. It is untenable ...it is shameful

Front page please

Can you read what you composing.

Did you factor our population into your conclusion.

All thanks to Billy Gates

This man is cashing out in less than no time

God will not allow Billy to cash out on my head

Hahahaha! What do you expect na? He is the bleeping owner plus he makes Sense ALL THE TIME.

Not true. Last time he said temperature is reason Nigeria number is low - Ecuador promptly proved him wrong

While we those in Ghana are complaining bitterly that govt isn't doing enough. In Ghana we have only 3 testing centers. What a pity.while countries are conducting mass testing, our leaders are been economical.

Xisnin:
All those reasons are silly excuses by the government.
They are not testing because they don't want to.
By now anyone with faintly close symptoms of the disease should be tested.
But people can't get tested because you have to satisfy some criteria or be near death to be considered.

To make matters worse, we don't know the government's endgame.
Neither the unresponsive NCDC nor the ministry of health has published any
public policy towards ending the infection.

They appear to have adopted the "let us wait it out" strategy that has failed countless countries.
They forgot that they can't lockdown forever.

The government's endgame is for the poor masses to die in their houses, hence the lockdown. Testing and NCDC isolation is for themselves when they catch the virus, or people that can call them out on social media for the evil monsters that they are.

5000 tests is all a lie... I have been checking the updates for about 4days now on wordometers, nigeria has been saying 5000 tests for almost a week now even when the number of cases has been increasing. Does it mean dey v nt done any test since like on the 9th of april... I find it hard to believe the statistics ncdc is giving ... Its well

Farmdog:
@The only reason being that the virus dies easily in temperatures above 27 degrees.... Africa death recordings seems to be steady/less than expected mostly because of the hot weather.

The above is false.
You need to expose the virus to at least 56 degrees for 90 minutes plus to inactivate it.
You can't survive such exposure yourself.

Africa's younger population is probably the reason there are lower deaths.

Hmmmm,i ño fit laugh....
So you mean to tell me that a whole 9ija cannot even conduct atleast 20,000 test a day.
Buhari is the real G O A T not ronaldo

The problems of Nigeria is not corruption, the problems of Nigeria they are too many mad people! 99% are not human, they are animals. No road, water, love,noting they pain them, comon light 2020 no still day! Is only animals kingdom such things happen because they are animals .

With the low test how many don DIE?
By now dead bodies would have littered Lagos state entire environment

Buhari and APC ... WHY?

CoronaVirusRelo:


Can you read what you composing.

Did you factor our population into your conclusion.

I hope you can read and not just that....I hope you can comprehend too

Ghana has tested 37954 and Nigeria has tested 5000...this shows that Ghana has done 7.6 times more tests than Nigeria

Now when you consider the population of both countries ...the case then looks far worse for nigeria ...

Ghana's ratio per million is 1221 while Nigeria's ratio is 24 per million ...this shows that Ghana is doing 50 times better than Nigeria

Seun:
We've been told that it's difficult to do massive testing for the Coronavirus Disease in Nigeria. That we don't have the trained workers, technology, and money to do it like South Korea. This is why we've only conducted 5,000 tests in a country with a population of 195.9 million. This got me thinking about other African countries:

South Africa, with a population of 57.78 million, has conducted 80,085 tests.
Ghana, with a population of 29.77 million, has conducted 37,954 tests.
Egypt, with a population of 98.42 million, has conducted 25,000 tests.

Also, Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, is 9th in the list of African countries which have conducted the most tests. We are also 26th in the list of African countries that have conducted the most tests relative to the size of their population. Should we be conducting way more tests?

Ok...while it's likely we're lagging behind in taking tests,remember tests are not just taken randomly or such.Those countries have higher index cases with more people exposed to it than ours.

All am saying now at this stage u can only test a particular population of interest. We need to ramp up our testing. But at this stage not mass testing. We need to make sure evrybody in the population of interest shld be tested.

babytoun:


You now know more than all other countries that have identified rapid testing as a key measure to stop the spread?

tatatar:

Ok...but tests are not just taken randomly.Those countries had higher index cases than ours.

We have had at least 4 cases where the test results came after the person died ...does that tell you anything ?

One paint is plenty o.....some states are giving one de-rica.

We are 26th in Africa. Let me repeat that, we are 26th in Africa. Nna na wa o. This is just testing.


I want to know what position we are in solution finding or cure finding in Africa and the world.


Am guessing in this 26th position, the first to 25th
probably have electricity to help their coordination, logistics, and research.

We need to go all in, in herbal treatment or organic treatment; because with digital treatment and techniques, we can't catch up and it creates confusion. We should fan out across Africa to look for plants that can cure this evil wind and others to come.

chukwugoziegi:
Our problems are not ordinary in this jungle.

Our problems are simple honestly. What we need to do to tackle our issues are just basic common things. But the simple things are so difficult to do I wonder....

The South Africans amd other countries you spend time insulting are quietly working hard to tackle this. Una never see anything

GermanMelania:
We don't have death clusters. If covid was rampant we would see more deaths. We haven't. This thing isn't just affecting poor people. I think we are doing mostly okay. For whatever reason ot is just not spreading. When we start seeing people collapsing on the street or dying alone at home we will know ncdc lied to us. And right now there is nothing to suggest this is happening.

These are my sentiments too, but NCDC needs to be on alert. It's a fact that there are way more infected people than acknowledged and this is because most infected people here are asymptomatic, hence haven't been tested. Considering how carelessly some infected people have mingled with the rest of the population, I won't be surprised if the figures are as high as 100,000.

This is the more reason, why Nigerians need to adhere to strict physical distancing protocols; because if as little as 10,000 people develop severe symptoms, we will be in trouble, because our healthcare system cannot handle that number of severe COVID-19 patients.
