Women in Sapele, Delta state today staged a protest over the extension of the lockdown in the state.

The state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, on Tuesday April 14th, announced a two weeks extension of the lockdown in the state. The state currently has three confirmed cases of COVID19 with one death.

The protesting women say they are hungry and do not have food to feed themselves or their family members. They are demanding the state government to lift the ban on movement of restriction for them to about their businesses so they can provide for their families.

It is sad,but we need to be reminded that,we don't have enough facilities to contain thousands of positive covid-19,I pray it doesn't go bad in africa

Nigerians are so dramatic,I don't think this is ending soon

Nigerian government claimed they can handle Coronavirus

All these people should just rest abeg...this type of protest will only end in tears

Let's keep it going round and round. Useless south south states with all the revenues accrued to them but lost to the Fulani caliphates will always think an average igbo man is dem problem!!
Never seen cowards like those guys up there....later now u go deh hear "warri no dy carry last" but come to dem states na Ghost town.
The Other thread I saw PH environs looking like another NIGHTMAre IN elm street.
Wailers keep wailing till sense fall on y'all
HIGH TIMe Y'all get ur gat ready for 2023

Those people don't understand what's happening around the world.

I think politicians are behind this. And the press are not helping matters either. People still believe the Covid-19 is a scam. I pity Nigerians seriously, God help us.

Nigerians aren't smiling these days o. Whereas this lockdown is a necessity.
May God help us all

Something tells me this lockdown will lead to a nationwide revolution.
I see this lockdown extending to up to 4 months, cos new cases are still coming up.
We had the chance to prevent corona from entering but we messed it up. Now we are inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea. Either we lockdown and die of hunger or we open up go about our businesses and allow corona have its way, then as many as survives the wave will move on, that's life.

It baffles me me that some Nigerians still think this pandemic is a scam. Smh


We should all be praying that this thing doesn't escalate more than the way it is now.

God will help us overcome this.

Na who dey alive dey do business

It's difficult but it's for the good of us all... The government should improve on pallatives

Honestly, this is what market women in Lagos & Ogun are suppose to be doing.
Fear no go gree.

I'm Yoruba, but we too dey fear. If you even want to stage a protest, your parents/family will be the ones to discourage you saying you will be disowned.

Wetin concern me, after this lockdown, Rwanda ya.

Good. pls free them. We are too many in this country, let corona virus adjust the figure.
This level of illiteracy, ignorant behavior coupled with our government attitude are what the likes of Bill Gate's wife put together and then concluded that there will be corpse littered in streets of Africans

I feel for them, this isn't ideal but a lockdown am afraid is very necessary. The state government has to do more. Food palliatives should be ramped up. Financial support should be wildly given. This is not the time to hoard funds. Release it massively to cater for the people that you govern. It is your duty and it is their right.




Get cheap data from us

The costume self.

Sometime I think this lock down is useless. And just a stupid way to suffer the citizen

More than 500,000 Americans sick.
More than 23,000 Americans dead.
New York State alone has more confirmed cases than Italy.
18% of the NYPD out sick.
And they r on lockdown for more than a month now but south Korea defeated covid 19 without shutting down the economy, China where the virus originated shutdown just one state, what about Sweden, so many other countries

About 70% of the total death are black, that brought me to the conclusion that it's not our skin or our health system or the lock down but our weather that is keeping us safe.

Now one of our major prayer is for God to give us more sun and less rain. That is our only cure. I bet those people that are recovering in the hospital can still survive it even without going to the hospital.

The extremely vulnerable should continue to stay out of the public but we have to get the economy going or we're not going to have a medical system to help us.

Because we have more than a million un recorded case in Nigeria, and so many have recovered unknownly. I was shock when I discovered we've done only 5000 test in Nigeria, when country like US carry out more down 100,000 test in a day.

They said we should stay out home and they are not testing us like other countries does almost 3 weeks in lock down I still don't know where they do the test, and u said we should stay at home

My heart goes to those that are finding it difficult to feed. We pray that the virus ends soon.
Stay strong and stay away from crime!!!

Asking hungry people to stay at home, what do you expect.

They are all mad..

Look at what they are doing amidst the pandemic.... Pity

We Are Aren't Ready For This Shit Mehn!
It Gonna Get Messier

Government have abused the lock down, it's now like a tool for oppression and punishment.





God bless Nigeria.

Hunger revolution about to hit Nigeria from every angle. Sit tight and enjoy the show people.

When I said Okowa is useless and wicked on the other Delta thread, some animals started quoting me to say nonsense. He's the worst governor since the state was created, if the APC put their house in order by 2023, I see no reason why PDP would return to power.
