Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to lock down the country for a minimum of two months over the violation by Nigerians of safety directives issued by the federal government as a means of curtailing the spread of the Coronavirus in the country.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Sagay also said military men should be allowed to patrol the streets and arrest anyone found on the streets except essential workers.

Recounting his experience, Sagay said he observed that 50 percent of those he saw on Wednesday failed to wear their face masks, while about 25 percent people simply hung it on their necks without covering their faces.


He added that most commercial buses were filled up while many banks and major bus stops were crowded as people flagrantly violated the social distancing order.

“Nigerians are the most undisciplined people on earth. I went out after six weeks today and inspite of all that have been said, the pleas by the government, I saw them in their thousands and hundreds of thousands, more than 50 percent of them without wearing masks”.

“Out of the 50 carrying masks, 25 percent had it on their necks instead of their faces. Only about 25 percent were wearing the masks properly”.

“Buses were filled, people were in crowds and they were just behaving as if nothing has happened, as if there is no Coronavirus pandemic in the country, as if everything is normal”.

So, it is an impossible country because these people are so massively indiscipline. Unless we have a government that decides to use power and authority without any constraint, we won’t achieve any result”.

“The way I see it, with the way Nigerians are behaving, we may have to be quarantined for like two months by force. Aside the lockdown, we should have security men patrolling the streets and inflicting the worst type of punishment on anybody who violates the directive”.

“Nigerians know how to talk. No job, no food. Hunger can kill more than Coronavirus and so on’.

“This very population that keeps on talking like this; this so-called poor and ordinary people now the lockdown has been eased so that they can earn their living but they are going about infecting all of us”.

“So, for me, Nigeria is a country that needs a very strong hand, that needs authoritarian leadership for many things to succeed. If I were the President, I will close down this country for two months and put armed men on the streets to stop, arrest and detain anybody who is found outside except essential workers” he said..

Wicked old man

Mumu talk

Well said...shittt is getting real

Obviously the Advisory committee on corruption is seeking another money heist on palliative disbursement that never gets to any one..

So people should die of hunger abi? When the useless government is busy flexing our money.

In Timaya's words " Dem no dey telli person, he telli person eh.
When your eyes go clear oooo

A very useless and senile old man with no control over his buccal cavity.

I still ask my self every day of what importance he is to this administration and what he even brings to the table aside unguarded rhetoric.

See his multicolored face like the Ugandan flag.

And dem say this one na Professor of law?

Dem no dey teach sense for school true true.

Sagay is a stupid old man

Useless foolish old idiot

How did Buhari select his advisers

Is stupidity one of the required criteria

But why do people find it difficult complying with simple directives? Wear mask, observe social distancing. Simple

Supported 100%

This will be successful if the goverment will provide palliatives for every Nigerian that needs it

Welcome to the Nigerian version of democracy:

Imprison anyone who dares to live freely!

They are all obviously gang members in stupidity.

Very foolish and insensitive set of agbayas

Even if lockdown is to be sustained, you dont just go about it as if Nigerians have committed a crime or the Jack boots era of military regimes.Sagay have a disconnect between his brain & reality.

What is wrong with people surrounding the President?
From all his ministers, adviser to media aides they are so uncouth, arrogant and insensitive.They talk as if Nigeria is their fiefdom.

Anyway, that is not good.

Better but with palliatives

foolish old god forsaken stupid senseless useless crap talking trash from that stinking culvet called mouth

audio palliatives

Sagay's statements are manifesting symptoms of a particular disease... But i won't mention that disease.

Let's bring the lockdown to your site.

We fabricate trusses, stanchions, rafters, burglaries, handrails, Polycarbonate shelters, rebar, overhead tank stands. Right on your site anywhere in Nigeria.

Flexible and zero-risk payment options
Milestone, purchase order etc.

Exactly what I've been advocating for.

But to be sincere, there is some element of truth in what he said

You are supporting him because you have money to feed na. Would you rather have people stay at home and die of hunger.

Covid19 came to expose the failure of so many things, our government inclusive. It wouldn't have been this bad if we had a thinking federal government.

Another idiot has spoken

You may insult him but that is the truth. The same people that Buhari is trying to help will be the same people to blame him if the number of affected people increase.
Buhari is too gentle for my liking.

Most of the commentors bashing Sagay are either doing so for the likes or they dint read the report.

Honestly, Nigerians are very stubborn indisciplined set of humans. Ordinary Ankara facemask of N50 Nigerians will fail to wear. Okay, maintain social distancing, the answer is NO the virus nah for Abuja people.

Nnamdi Kanu is right afterall, this country is full of Goats, Ewu, Eran.... haaayi
