With the rampaging pandemic not slowing down and many folks suffering under the pressure of hunger, there is a great debate on whether the lockdown should be lifted.

Option 1:
Maintain the lockdown, provide palliatives and increase testing and medical response.

Option 2:
Lift lockdown within the country, block international flights, enforce face masks, hand washing, use of hand sanitisers, etc. And let us battle it head long till there is a cure.

Which part of the debate are you?

Mynd44:

I once said we locked down to early, we should have waited until 5,000 people died first.

When everyone knows a friend, colleague, neighbor or family member that died, they want enforce anything. They will beg for a lockdown or social distancing.

I wonder who begged Italy and Spain in the end

helinues:
Lockdown only if both states and Fg will provide reasonable palliative items not all this audio one.

We need to contain the virus once and for all

But if no sustainable relief materias from government, then expect people to defy order.

Hunger kills faster than Coronavirus

BTW, what is happening in Kano?

babyfaceafrica:

Jflex07:
Stop comparing Nigeria to Sweden.

Perfecttouchade:
Who knows if there wasn't any lockdown then we might have figures higher than this..if the lockdown will help in tackling this Virus then abeg make we just jejely accept o, and make government help the masses with palliatives

Jflex07:
Stop comparing Nigeria to Sweden.

Asampetem:

Like I said, Nigerians flouted and are still flouting it

If the Government removes the lockdown, nothing spoil

But if(God forbid) bodies begin to litter everywhere, obviously a lockdown will be slammed on us. And by then, nobody will care about the death of the economy

For me, I still support the LOCKDOWN for the next one month

Let us sacrifice this little time and see the curve flatten to a reasonable extent.

Nigerians sef are not helping. Stay at home, everyone is screaming hunger (which is true). But isn't it better to feel hunger, than see your loved ones die because of something without cure?

Face masks can be enforced, but it's difficult for Social distancing to be. From markets, to banks, to busstops, to churches, to everywhere....Only walking along Idumota or Obalende sef na wahala

If this lockdown is lifted, na God hand we dey. NCDC are already overburdened despite thelockdown. Imagine when it's lifted

This is a very big risk to be taken on Monday. God will see us through

Toor

Let it not look like I'm pessimistic.

The same Nigerians screaming for the removal of the lockdown will enforce it on themselves when shiit hits the fan

Sweden is not on lockdown and has never been on lockdown and heaven did not fall.. So what is all these noise that bodies will be flying around. The bodies that herds men and Boko don kill wetin happen?...

femmy2010:
I am for a total Lockdown for another Max for 3 weeks.
The 36 states should lockdown. No movement and security operatives should be punished for receiving bribe in exchange for the passage of human or vehicular movement.
Markets should only open ones a week for the aforementioned lockdown duration and social distancing should be enforced on those market days.
The government should continue to give palliatives to the poorest of the poorest in the society as currently been done.
Those that have been paying taxes but need government can be helped with a token of Max N25,000 while zero taxpayers that desire to be paid palliatives should be made aware that a percentage would be deducted from their future earnings as tax using the same BVN they were paid with.

Fogman:
My summittion, is that we should not compare Nigeria with European countries with excellent Healthcare facilities, we all know that our shambolic health care system can not withstand this pandemic if it enters another level. Americans and European countries even with their excellent healthcare facilities were really overwhelmed by this pandemic. A few more weeks at home will definitely be in our own interest. It is only the living that makes plan or talk about food. #StayHome #StaySafe

You are comparing Nigeria to Sweden?

Sweden's economy is far better than ours. Their leaders are not as clueless as most of ours. Sweden had a better healthcare than Nigeria. They probably have equipped hospitals and better response to emergencies. They probably have conducted more tests than Nigeria, and are not corrupt. Above all, if they call for a lockdown, their citizens will most probably not flout the order

This is the country you are comparing with Nigeria?
