OP!!! I agree with you on your write up.
I was also shocked the day the NCDC said "Corona virus will surely get to all states in Nigeria". Since that day, I started suspecting that those guys at NCDC have a mission to accomplish with support from within and outside the country.

How can you make sure a statement in public not even once and Nigerians will not suspect you.

If you look at some countries that also have this virus, you would realize that it is not the entire country that is affected.

Lastly, not as if I doubt the presence of the virus in Nigeria. But I doubt the daily figures generated by NCDC without showing us any proof on TV as it is done worldwide and the general hysteria accompanying this virus.

For about two months and still counting, the fatality rate is still not bad as compared to developed countries, that is even if NCDC are giving us the correct figures.

Yes, the virus is in Nigeria, but some top men are cashing out from this SCAMdemic grin grin
That statement was made based on their knowledge of how nomadic and lacking in respect for laws and policies for which Nigerians are known for.
Have you not been seeing the news about how humans beings are being packaged among cows, goats and grains in trailers across various state borders That's the point where they based their statement regarding the virus getting to all states on.

There is more to it than meets the eye.

WHO just announced that Africa will be the epicentre by July. How are we sure they are not making another strain of the virus that will trive in temperate regions, especially Africa?

The truth is that NCDC cannot be fully trusted.

May God help you educated illiterate.
Blogsphere:
Before the Chinese authority owned up to the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan, China, the world did not realize that a major health crisis that would quake the entire mankind was in the offing.

The Covid-19, as the World Health Organization (WHO), termed it, rose from a minor outbreak of respiratory cum cough-related disease to a pandemic that is ravaging the world, today.

The world has been literally brought to its knees by this invincible enemy. As at last count, 9th of May, 2020, global confirmed cases stood at 3.9 million, while fatalities were recorded as 276,000.

The world being a global village, covid-19, sooner than later, berthed at the shores of Nigeria on 27th February, 2020.

An Italian citizen who came into the country from Milan, was the carrier. Since then, Coronavirus pandemic has registered its footprint on almost all the states including the FCT, except Kogi and Cross River States, respectively. As at 8th of May, 2020, Nigeria had recorded 3,912 confirmed cases; 679 discharged and, sadly, total of 117 deaths. Of an approximate population of 200 million people, NCDC has been able to test only 25,000 Nigerians.

I have the habit of watching daily media briefing of the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19. I must commend the Task Force and all the medical practitioners on the front line of this war against coronavirus. In one of the Presidential Task Force's updates, Director-General of NCDC, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu made a statement that rattled me.

He alluded to the fact that covid-19 would get to every state in Nigeria and urged the state governments to prepare for the eventuality. Initially, the statement came to me as precautionary, but Dr. Ihekweazu's body language as he made the shocking projection, left me in utter bewilderment.

He left the impression of certainty that the virus would reach every nook and cranny of the country. I paused and asked myself: who is NCDC working for? Are they working to curtail the virus or spread it? If indeed they're working to arrest the spread of covid-19 in the country, why was the NCDC DG so sure that it would get to every state? When I saw in the news that NCDC had a disagreement with the Cross River governor on the issue of not submitting enough samples for testing, I did not take it seriously. Then came Kogi State.

From the information out in the public, NCDC is literally mounting pressure on the Kogi State Government to submit samples of suspected coronavirus patients for testing. The big question here is: why is NCDC having a running battle with the only two states that are yet to confirm any case? When juxtaposed with the insensitive statement of NCDC's DG that covid-19 would get to every state of the federation, I can conclude without the error of assumption, that NCDC is in a hurry to register covid-19 cases for Kogi State. Do the agency want to manufacture fictitious cases for Kogi State?

NCDC alleged that they sent their officials to Lokoja to help the state government in verifying suspected cases to be considered for testing. But Kogi State is yet to ask for such assistance. The state government has categorically affirmed that there has not been any case satisfied to be forwarded to NCDC for testing. Why is NCDC crying more than the bereaved? With the suspicious moves of the agency, how are we sure that it will not be biased against the state to record any sample sent to it for testing, as positive?

Why is an agency that is visibly overwhelmed by the samples sent to it for testing, to the extent that some states wait for two to three days before getting feedback on their samples, be so much obsessed with a state like Kogi that is yet to forward sample to them for testing? When NCDC officials arrived Kogi to "assist" the state government, the governor, being suspicious of their activities in the Confluence State, insisted that the officials should be isolated for 14 days to ascertain their status regarding covid-19. The officials of NCDC returned to Abuja with the prejudiced message that Governor Yahaya Bello turned down the help they offered—while there was no need for the so-called help in the first place.

Do you offer to help a state that has not called for it? Has Kogi told NCDC that people are falling dead on the streets of Lokoja as a result of covid-19? Do you commiserate with someone that is not bereaved? It becomes hilarious and ridiculous when the same agency has shown high level of incapacitation and incompetence when it comes to meeting its responsibilities to terrified Nigerians at a time of crisis of this magnitude. NCDC fans itself in self-praise of testing 25,000 Nigerians in the last three months, while its counterpart in South Africa has tested over 100,000 within the same period. It should face its business of scaling up its testing capacity and leave Kogi State alone.

Is it a coincidence that the number of confirmed cases in the country skyrocketed when Nigerians were locked down in their homes. You lockdown Nigerians for more than one month without massive testing? As at 8th of May, 2020, out of over 25,000 tested persons, 3,912 cases were confirmed; 679 discharged and 117 deaths. Is this a result to be proud of, for a big nation like ours? Juxtapose the total number of discharged covid-19 cases with the number of deaths and it is clear that we are not doing well at all, yet NCDC had the luxury to be dancing ‘zanku’ leg work in Kogi State, in search of a non-existent covid-19 case, when lives are being lost at an alarming rate in other parts of Nigeria.

I stand with Governor Yahaya Bello for standing firm in the face of pressure from the agency to record cases for the state, while the state government continue to step up its precautionary measures against this pandemic, our ultimate goal and prayer, is that covid-19 does not get to the state. If it eventually comes, it should be real not fictitious. The mischievous actions of NCDC officials, is what is fueling the falsehood cum conspiracy theory in the minds of some people, that there is no coronavirus in the country. How do you explain to a lay man in the street the rational behind NCDC complain that states like Kogi are not sending in enough samples for testing, when the need has not arisen. NCDC should stop its questionable mission in Kogi.

coro News Don tire me abeg..

but when I heard that ncdc chairman made that statement that coro will go round the country.. I shock...

this is more than a pandemic
this is a Plandemic.

I am not doubting the fact that we have coro in Nigeria o, I am saying its all part of a grand plan.
please you all should watch the movie "DEAD ZONE" shot in 2003, the movie is all about a virus, pandemic .. what got my attention is the name of the virus in that movie is COVID-19, chloroquine was mentioned as a cure, it was an airborne virus and everyone wore mask at the latter stage of the virus, everyone were on lockdown as we are now... in the movie, the virus and lockdown were planned by a selected powerful few..

this is just what is playing out now.

search for "Dead zone" on YouTube n watch the movie.


thank you

This article is plain stupid. This is a national issue and states should be mandated to send in samples. It is form the samples that we can know the true extent of the spread of the virus. Wonder how someone wakes up and just writes trash . Seriously?

I hope the author of this write up understand that NCDC is responsible for controlling infectious disease outbreak, and if eventually Kogi turns out to become an epicenter, they will be held responsible for it. Or you telling me nobody is reporting to hospitals in Kogi with cough and fever?

Submitting samples is all they ask for don't complicate things

so anyone with cough n fever is now a covid 19 patient?

sometimes d way we comment just shows our level of education, dis is to lend credence to d claim dat most people are just cough n fever patient in d so called Nigeria case of corona virus figures been dishes out daily, fever n cough has been a normal occurrence even before covid 19.

I was surprised to receive a msg from NCDC dat says if I have fever or cough I should report to their station for testing.

at d beginning of the rain there is usually fever n cold.

people like u are d ones who tag every death as covid 19 case.

d case of Benue index case comes to play, 45 days in isolation with no drugs yet she is still alive n u claim she is a carrier

I strongly doubt a Doctor, Medical Doctor, wrote that.

The NCDC was being brutally honest. It refused to politicize the Virus or even give it a religious color.

When people said we should shut our boarders as far back as January, some said it was wrong. The Virus can survive our hot weather, Religious leaders were sure it won't reach here and govt did nothing.

The NCDC said clearly said it will get to all States, knowing fully well that the amt of testing done was low, the porous state boarders and the indiscipline of our wonderful people was a sure way to transfer the Virus.

Kogi State the serves as a confluence center for travellers from both side of the River Niger can't truly say its free from the virus that uses humans as its mean of transport.

If truly they have no case, then their actions or otherwise should be a blueprint for other States.

And if Kogi got nothing to hide, why worry about what the NCDC team will find.

The state is an APC state, and he does not trust his own FG?

Anyway, the Virus can only be hidden for a short period of time. Kano state is a case study

Kogi have warned hospitals not to report any suspected cases. Kogi has tested zero cases. That South Africa tested 100,000 but Kogi refused to test even one person. Common sense should tell you that you cannot record cases when you are not conducting any test. I heard his interview when he was asked how many persons the state has tested but he gave no answer. If every state decide not to test do you think that we are going to record any case. Time shall come when we shall know who is fooling who.

Who wrote this nonsense? I doubt d Ph.D in ur name.
Hw can u have a case wen u don't test. Test must precede confirmation.
Some weeks back, I called a friend in Kogi to know if truely no case, he said der was no case cos he couldn't c any death yet, at least victims death should confirm d case. Later last week I heard (from another source) death wer recorded in the hospitals but no sample taken! This is very bad! D case might b low because of d very harsh weather n topography (different organism survive at different height) but we need to know wat we r dealing wt!

They would have started recording and reporting deaths even before kano state na, since Kogi is like the centre of 'all vehicular traffic' like you said.
My thought though!

GOD HELP US!!


portacabin:
Do you know that all vehicular traffic from the east and west to the North of Nigeria mass through Kogi state? There is no way Kogi can be left out in the spread of the Corona virus. Does Kogi state have an isolation center to hold suspected ases of Corona virus patients

so anyone with cough n fever is now a covid 19 patient?

No but should be tested as not to infect others. What is now the essence of the temperature sensor placed at every strategic places? Are you saying people with symptoms that can be either positive or negative should not be tested?

it is just a matter of time. the reality will show in Kogi. This is how Kano was denying that there was no Covid-19 in the state. Today we have seen the reality. The unfortunate thing is that the covid-19 will not be selective when the pandemic arises rather it will hit the innocent in the street.,.....anyway I rest my case.

You have said nothing! This whole thing is tiring already, we don't more emotional and sentimental bad takes. How did states without international entry points get the virus? Wasn't it through movement? Kogi a major route to and fro around the country supposedly hasn't recorded any case yet sad, isn't it better to ascertain now than when it blows out of proportion?. A state that is bordered by 9 states with covid 19 hasn't recorded a case, shouldn't that be cause for concern. As I speak I know people who travel from FCT to kogi hitch free so tell me how kogi is safe?

The sooner the virus is curtailed in every state the better for us all. If truly kogi has nothing to hide, shouldn't yahaya be happy to show it off NCDC knew what they were saying about covid spreading to all states eventually unless Nigerians finally decide to be stationary sad oh and also border control becomes totally enforced.

Stay Safe

Kogi and Cross River are COVID19 free?
Time shall tell



Kogi that is a bypass to wherever you are going in Nigeria has recorded no case even when the State is not on lockdown.
Time shall tell.



I hope when it boomerangs y'all will not blame Buhari and NCDC for not doing enough for Kogi State.
I hope y'all won't cry foul.


Yahaya Bello is not willing to give palliatives that why he has refused to lockdown his State
He doesn't want to take responsibilities for people that will be isolated reason why he doesn't want test to be conducted in Kogi


I have said mine, time will tell!

I don't have much to say about this post.

But I honestly hope the author of this post isn't a medical practitioner. I seriously pray he isn't.

I think NCDC is working for WHO who is working for Bill Gates to make sure that everyone on the planet gets the vaccine.

But I might be wrong.

It's not a case of you MIGHT be wrong; you ARE wrong.
