yea the idea is about protecting others not necessarily yourself. You're protected if one also reciprocates the act

So all the doctors and health workers using it for years are silly?

I personally would not encourage the use of the Ankara face mask base on the fact that it ain't safe.

I understand the fact that alot of our local tailors have taken the advantage to produce bulk of it now flooding the market but it is not safe. We need to be cautious.

N95, KN95, M3 still remains the best.


Stay safe fellows.
Very true.

Look at this one writing grammar.

Even the recommended face masks are not to be worn all the time because you can't breathe out 100% before inhaling it again. Ankara face masks if sewn well is better that most face masks parading the streets.
That's a lie, bro.
And you know it.
But won't admit it.
Probably because you're a tailor

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Why do we even wear facemasks when it doesn't even protect one from the virus??.. WHO even said recently that wearing facemasks too often may lead to another health problem.

The object of a face mask is to prevent you from giving COVID to another person. It is NOT to stop you from getting infected. If everyone wore face masks, the spread would reduce dramatically in just 14 days. Unfortunately, the conspiracy theorists, the N95 mask agitators, and those Nigerians who currently feel invincible because the infection rate is 0.00035 will not allow this to happen.

WHO said that the wearing of face masks may give the user an unwarranted sense of security and lead to a drop in other measures such as social distancing and hand washing. If you must know, WHo prefers strict lockdowns and only wants lockdown easing after 14 continuous days of diminishing infection numbers. Ready to wait for that? You cant have your cake and eat it.

The greatest challenge to Nigeria from COVID is not the disease itself but the half baked theories flying around by young bucks seeking to make a name for themselves.

Someone should correct me if I'm wrong but didn't WHO say masks should be worn by sick people or people showing covid symptoms? Have they officially recommended the use of different grades of face masks?

Which one will we take now? They say Ankara is impenetrable, that means virus can hardly pass through which makes it better than cotton. Now, we're supposedly inhaling CO2.

I rather avoid the virus in this case.

First of all, you failed as a journalist by calling a report ''erroneous'' and a ''conspiracy theory'' even before you've made enquiries to verify the report.
That is biased journalism.

Meanwhile,speaking from personal experience, Ankara facemask is dangerous to health. When I breath out, before all the exhaled CO2 passes out through the clothing, I'll need to breath in again, and in that instant, I'll take back some of the stale air I pushed out and the effect is felt immediately through my nostrils up to my eyes.
I don't need doctors and WHO to advise me on this cos I already know it's harmful and I don't use it

You didn't even point out why ankara mask is bad, you are just stating the obvious of every mask

Wearing mask for prolonged hours and days even in hospital is effective self poisoning.

WHO will deny the world when the consequences begin to manifest in the near future.

How can you keep taking CO2 hours daily and expect to the okay?

Wonder how people cannot think for themselves including doctors that should know better.

Abegi leave that thing. We mustn't speak like oyinbo. Oyinbo don't bother to speak our Language yet we appreciate them. Complex has eaten deep in our mentality.
The No 1 principle for language is communication any other thing is secondary.

You sound too immature to appreciate the fact that English Language is a borrowed language. Have you ever heard Chinese speak English language yet they are extremely influential in world affairs. You should judge people based on the quality of their brain.

You need to examine your personality for self-esteem and inferiority disorder

Is English the lingua franca of China, or we're the Chinese colonised by England? The kind of examples some of you give, shows that you don't have the requisite wisdom to navigate certain discussions.

It is because the average Nigerian is poor at English, they make you guys write IELTS to travel out of the country.

Stop taking pride in a lack of proper knowledge, of your country's official language.

*Be careful*

Prolonged use of the mask produces hypoxia.

Breathing over and over exhaled air turns into carbon dioxide, which is why we feel dizzy.

This intoxicates the user and much more when he must move, carry out displacement actions.

It causes discomfort, loss of reflexes and conscious thought.

It generates great fatigue.

In addition, oxygen deficiency causes glucose breakdown and endangered lactic acid rise.

Some people drive their car with the mask on, that is very dangerous, because, the stale air can make the driver lose consciousness.

It is recommended to use it only if you have someone in front or very close, and it is important to remember to lift it every 10 minutes to continue feeling healthy.

It is counterproductive for people who serve the public for 8 hours, as they are intoxicating themselves without knowing it.

All lives are important.! "
That prevention does not lead you to another problem ... let's use the mask knowingly.
