So burial ceremony can commence

dangermouse:
Good move.

good moves how ....where is the money to bury them

You lock down for two months to fill the mortuary but give two weeks to decongest it. It's alright.

Papadoh:
Mortuaries are full already after only 33 deaths? Na only one mortuary dey Lagos? I'm a little confused.

Is it that you think that only Covid kills people in Lagos?
Or that you do not realize that many bodies in the mortuary pre-dated Covid?

Anyway, if you had been assed to read the news story you would have found your answer.

Sanwo olu have made things easy for them. No more owambe and any sane person should make use of this opportunity now and save money and stress.

9jaRealist:
If they are NOT going to extend the lockdown (and I personally suspect they will NOT)...
Let it be on the basis of sound medical reasons, not because our people want to do Owambe funerals.

Muslims bury within 24 hours while most Westerners bury within a week...
You can bury someone immediately with a simple ceremony, and elaborately celebrate their lives later.

How does how a religion or tribe burying their dead your problem?.every religion has its tenets, some burn, some casket, some mat.... Leave them!!.. If I choose to spend all my life savings to bury.. How is that your business?

Vision2045:
I am tired of the lockdown as well but I don't think it's time for the lockdown to be called off...

To those saying the lockdown didn't work.....I hope you are right...but I am sure it worked as it showed us an indication of what is ahead....Those people tested so far are those with traveling history and those that came in contact with them...

Can we be rest assured that all those that came in contact has been fully located and tested (definitely No, My neighbor is one of the medical personnel at the isolation centre in onikan..she said Lagos is really under testing...and I ask why she said the test kit are so limited in supply and that ventilators are as well limited).

If the lockdown is called off or relaxed, we all Sabi as Lagos dey....our bus na hustle..bus stop na hustle...market na hustle..church na crowd..mosque crowd..felashrine crowd...qulox crowd....malls crowd....

If people still disobey the lockdown when it was so called in full flight...do u think when it's relaxed or totally called off people will not just go straight to normalcy.

Can any state in Nigeria handle a surge if things go south ( which I pray it doesn't)

Have u watched the channels TV interview with the deputy coordinator for the covid 19 in their state...he said a reported 640 death in one week..though natural death join but we all know something is wrong...that's because their governor is not proactive enough...



What do I suggest.

- This coming week government should make effort to create local response team in all local government and train personnel to Man those centres...every local government has office already ..that can be achieved in a week...they will deploy trained personnel from the isolation centres and general hospital with adequate PPEs

- Full sensitisation at local level...A team of people go into street with their mega phone...and share safety tips and proper explanation and maybe a small pamphlet with pictures.

- Those centres at local level will be there to test and absorb if any case arise and might be transferred to a mother centre (Onikan, IDH and any other created ) in case of severe issues.

- Government should as well invest in Test kit and ventilators atleast divert some more money to the health sector...

All this is attainable in two weeks....Then the government can relax the lockdown ...But forget it relaxing the lockdown is like suspending it...We all know our kind of mentality in Nigeria here...

My humble Opinion

I agree with you

Evaromantik:
When your Dad buried his father, were they only 20 people?

That's why everyone is patiently waiting, because we know government go still come back to their senses.

So what do you want the governor do?

Bellotelli:
Why the rush...are they expecting more people to die?

Low IQ

Lostz:
what kind of nonsense is this?

God bless Lagos state

crafteck:
Ok, who would now do final burial for ambodes political ambition

vastolord4:
See.. Nigeria leaders are confused

Low IQ

itsmayiela:
Islamization. Gradually, the state and its citizenry is beginning to adopt policies practised by Muslims.

We reject this.

Owambe must be organized o jare!

We must wait for our grandmother to be buried first before we begin preparation for our father's burial.

We must wait for our siblungs in Yankee to return before we bury the corpse.

33 deaths you know of however there are those who died before the plague surfaced,they have been in the morgue for long

CoronaV:
I hope people wiill read the article and discover that morturaries are full because funerals are not being held due to lockdown and not that Corona is killing everyone.
E no dey hard Nigerians.
On another note, can those advocating for extension of lockdown see another example of hardship and unnecessary expenses it is causing people?

No Convid is more dangerous than living with rotten corpses, stay indoors that's the best alternative.

We all see the wisdom in that so far.

Don't hear the stay at home fanatics rant much again, abi dem done tire? Awon useful idiots.

Olathunji010:
May almighty God continue to be always giving u the power to be healing all those that have already been tested positive for this useless coronavirus amen..... And continue to be always protecting and securing all other people from contacting it amen

Praying and cursing at the same time? And people like you wonder why your prayers are not been answered on time. Edit ‘useless Coronavirus’ , please.

When you clog up the public morgues, it becomes the state’s problem - and as a taxpayer, mine...smh

CoronaV:
Your humble opinion did not include how people will survive hunger during the lockdown.

. People are just very selfish


If u see the way ppl are begging on the streets now eh

Better start digging the mass graves because no owambe no burial.

That you have Money to fend for yourself doesn't mean u shouldnt be considerate...
I went out around 7pm yesterday and I saw many ppl on the road, trekking and interacting, no mask or anything.. AGEBRO on every junction begging, stealing is now the order of the day.

See this lockdown is a total failure, people are hungry and desperate, if government cannot provide people what to eat from the money they stole from the people then let them allow the people work to make money for themselves.

Bigleaf1006:
Be like say LASG get plenti money take do case.
You stopped us from burying our dearly departed, we haven't fully recovered from a dissipating lockdown now u want to force us to go bury immediately by just executive Fiat.

Oga, build more mortuaries simple. This guy's just be making pronouncements by a whim, what a way to run a society

You mean that before New York started putting dead bodies in refrigerated trucks and burying them in mass graves out on Hart Island, New Yorkers held a town hall and a referendum of its citizens? Emergency situations call for exigent solutions.

Nope! It’s NOT a “total failure”...
Because it’s goal was to save lives by slowing down the rate of Covid infections, not to solve hunger in Nigeria.

Of course we should feel empathy for the hungry and desperate, but with or without Covid there will still be people who are hungry and desperate. Nonetheless, one of the certainties in life is that only people who are ALIVE can be hungry.

The able governor, this is a good one let the dead be buried to Rest In Peace.

My humble Opinion

You talk as if it won't cost any money. Your neighbor told you the test kits and ventilators at limited, that should tell you there is no money to procure more it them. When no money to procure just these two main important things, I bet government won't even look your suggestions twice talk of take to it.

You always saying rubbish out of context. What's wrong with you?

Cases ain't same, the corpses in the mortuaries were not covid-19 victims, yeah! I agree covid-19 victims are totally under the control of the government with their rights majorly voided but these ones the governor is talking about,he has no right over them.

What does it look like?

Bellotelli:

Yes of course, the nature of this world stated that, people's we give birth and people's we also die. Since dead is inevitable.

"There also must be NO receptions or parties to accompany these funerals"

What a relieve! - for people with understanding.
