I can't believe Lagos Govt is asking those childish children on twitter if lockdown should continue. The real Nigerians are not on twitter, hell I am not on twitter. Nigeria is a joke.

A lockdown is the most brainless way to fight the Coronavirus. Our leaders need to activate their faculties and figure out better, smarter ways.

Gbosa Gbosa Gbosa.

Now, as I'm writing this everybody in my company job is under threat, the company and everybody is doing their best to keep the company running any lockdown of just 3 or 5 days, we all are gone for good.
What actually is Nigeria government gaining from this covid19? Until half of Nigeria population losses their jobs and businesses?
Something is not right.

jericco1:
I was surprised that people voted for the lockdown to be reinstated

Jobless people on Twitter

Goddey18:
If Lagos State government wants to based it's decision from this vote, then there won't be any lock down.

Who will vote for lock down after what people went through the last time.

As at when I viewed the polls over 54% said to reinstate lockdown.

So dont be too sure.

Now be shocked as I was..

well Lagosians are getting used to slow life of staying indoors hence the vote..

If Wike's rash decision could be hailed by some Rivers State Indigene then I think Goovernance this days is about what the people wants and not about what is right or wrong

Lagos state government workers

Do you reside in Lagos state?

It appears seun is paying those who quote his comment; I have done mine.

People are voting for lockdown.

FASTLINK1:
Best thing, no lockdown, enforce use of nose mask and physical distancing.

Exactly. This will work.The government should implement strict wearing of facemasks in public places at all times and every business must have sanitizer for it's customers.

Too late to enforce another lockdown order.

Seun:
Salary earners who have not lost their jobs yet, single people who work online, essential workers, etc, will vote yes. Most others would vote no.

We cannot afford to wreck the economy by locking it down. If we wreck the economy then where will we get the money needed to fight the virus?

Yet, we cannot afford to allow lots of people to get sick and be killed by the virus. The fear of being infected is enough to wreck the economy.

The only way forward is to use face-masks and enforce science-based infection minimization rules to protect lives and also protect the economy.

Uncle Seun, thank you, being saying these from day one, but the pro covid and pro lockdown people won't listen; how long can we lockdown

By the time we run out of all funds and even options to borrow, then what are we gonna do

jericco1:


Do you reside in Lagos state?

Why are you asking?

chillex8:

Seun calm down.

Hearing it alone am already shaking.

Wow it seems some people actually enjoyed the lock down or could it be that there are afraid of the worse

Onlinealaba:

The question is how long can the Lockdown be sustained till a cure or vaccine is found cos the economy is really bastardised now and any further lockdown will be very catastrophic . Well just feel so fly quoting Seun

Low self esteem dey worry you

travelland:


Why are you asking?

Nevermind

iamoyindamola:
you think face mask can curb the spread

Yes because it's airborne

Now be shocked as I was..

I'm so surprised I must say

Dshocker:
Definitely Lagosians will vote in their favour....Had it been that a country like Nigeria acted the way Canadian government did to her citizens,by giving them $2000,then you will see that half of the population of Lagos will vote for the lock down to continue till eternity.

It's impossible to give each Nigerian $2,000.

The money to do that is nonexistent!!!

VaselineCrew:

Congratulations on your new role, we look forward to a long standing relationship

why do we seek for fresh lockdown when other nations are relaxing theirs?....honestly, I think is time we implore other measure to curb this pandemic. #save our future. Our 2020 goals are protracted

fatymore:

Lock-down is the cheapest way for government to fight COVID-19. To actually fight the virus streets need to be disinfected overnight before people troop out in the morning to resume work but government is not toeing this route because of the cost.

Apart from when we saw Lagos disinfecting the streets and bus-stops during the lock-down have they ever thought of doing it again since the lock-down was eased? I don't blame people who are scared, does it make sense that in the process of looking for what to eat you contact the virus and die.

New York governor summed it up nicely when he said money lost can be recovered, economy that goes belly up can be nursed back but the dead are dead you can't bring them back!

It is crucial to understand that, as a poor country with a large population, we don’t have the luxury of choosing between saving lives and saving the economy. If we lose one, we will surely lose the other.

hmm nice pls sir Ban me I did something bad today...then unban me nxt month ending

Children play play. This year ehn. I don't know how thunder still take kill my home theatre. Na wah o

Been singing the hymn since January. And as predicted the lockdown was lifted nothing was gained. Figures still rising, economy damaged. No gain left, no gain right. This is the result of incompetent leadership everywhere you look.

I come to this forum everyday shouti g for a goverment strategy to capture Covid in Nigeria. They say I talk too much. That lockdown is the strategy. I tell them, lockdown is like anaethesia. It creates opportunity to operate. But if the surgeon is busy drinking at the pub what is the point. The patient will not be cured.

The goverment has squandered 2 months, billions of naira in GDP and sent millions into the unemployment market and into abject poverty over a paltry 30,000 tests. What a waste.

Oga Seun don vex.

Valid points, but how many Nigerians will obey these Science based rules though?

Without a lockdown, a massive spread is inevitable.
