Lol the joke is on you because am not a female and am not a student, btw how much do you charge for short time?

Why now? I'm already looking forward to convocation.

And have you compared the death rate in Sweden versus other Nordic countries? Sweden is seen now not as the bold exception you are implying, but as a cautionary tale.

ASUU is a contaminated association that needs a new life. Those lecturers do not have the interest of education on their mind. Plus they keep dragging the entire tertiary education backwards willfully.

I know that one day this ASUU shit will end so that tertiary education can progress unhindered.

True, we mustn't follow the crowd. But what if what the crowd is scared of is real? Why should we rush in just cos we want to be different?

Person wey go die go die? Sorry, that is not a philosophy that any sensible government or policy maker uses. You are welcome to it as a person of course, but please do not expect or encourage any government in Nigeria to embrace such an irresponsible philosophy when it comes to the lives of citizens.

Jahwinaboy:
Lol. Better occupy your mind with other things. Nigeria don't value ur education and well being. Keep ur mind away from convocation till next yr. I have a large farm down south. We can manage it together incase u need a place of work.

Iceyjayz:
To convocate more dicks

Angelinastto:

Awwwn so nice of you. Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.

Nobody will die. Let's stop putting it into the equation.

What we ask for is SAFE reopening of schools. That's all. School is better regimented than other places that have reopened so far. For instance, it is easy for school management to order all students to wear face covering before they enter the premises and they all have to obey it.

What are the SW states, anyone??

proffemi:

Sorry, I am an academic, so forgive me for asking what gives you this confidence?Where is the evidence?



You are obviously not a teacher, or don't have kids in the age bracket we are talking about. You actually think kids in Gragra Village College will follow those silly guidelines? Did you actually go through the original guidelines?

Finally, do you honestly believe Nigerian kids and schools will be more disciplined than their Israeli counterparts? Do you know that the Israeli experiment with reopening their schools is falling apart as we speak?

You cannot be more concerned than I am; I have kids writing SSCE. But you cannot just wave your hands and tell us that everything is okay. Show us the facts, show us the evidence and show us *realistic* guidelines.

Any government that uses a Northerner as Minister for Education is not a serious government. People wey no like school before.
The only ministerial appointment that should be given to a northerner is animal production, animal science / husbandary

i guess your WASSCE candidate kids have been staying indoors observing all COVID19 Safety measures. If so, I congratulate you for doing a good job keeping them so. Honestly, the once I see around my area are different, so much that I strongly opine that going to school is safer for them during this period. Secondly, if they didn't die of COVID19 over the last few months after carelessly mixing up with people
without protection, I don't think they will suddenly die at school.

Nevertheless, a parent is free to keep his/her children at home till when he feels it is safe for them to join the rest at school.

On Israel, their situation is truly becoming messier, but schools are still open. The authorities close schools where students test positive. We can do the same over here.

proffemi:


There is a major misconception in your post. You seem to assume the kids are the ones at risk here. That is not the problem. The problem is that the kids will (while remaining asymptomatic themselves) infect people in more vulnerable age groups, like their diabetic Geography teacher, or their hypertensive principal.



See why this is a Pandora's box now?

Knowing as we do with 100% confidence that there will be positive tests (because there will be sha), are you saying the SSCE for schools with positive tests should be cancelled/stopped, or should we ignore positive tests, sicks teachers and just forge ahead all in the name of rushing an SSCE for students, most of whom are trying to enter universities that will remain closed and not ready to admit them anytime soon?

My point is: I do not see why we should rush and take risks. If we had scientific data (I see no reason why we don't, with all the "researchers" in Nigeria, but that is another discussion) that predicted a safe reopening, sure. But in the absence of that, why take risks?

paulolee:
jokers....we keep seeing different updates each time they choose to come up with a new version of this school reopening drama
kenya just closed the matter and said school is still next year but Nigeria being the Giant of Africa are feeling to big to go that same way even though we all know that is thier main plan from the start..
this covid pandemic really showed the world the capabilities of its leaders and systems of each country and we all know that Nigeria education sector is too poorly systemized.
they keep setting new guidelines that schools shoud adhere to forgetting the fact that the same citizens have violated almost all the documented audio, videos and photos guidelines placed to contain the virus before the lockdown was relaxed
If schools do go ahead to resume without a vaccine being invented or an advance plan being taken to control the virus, i would gladly join the others to say NIGERIAN COVID VIRUS DO NOT EXIST..

Without sw there no nigeria. north is shit

schumastic:
First of all I can’t believe some of the comments am reading up there. Some of you don’t even read up or follow stories as regards this pandemic, many still believe this virus is a hoax. If you are going to risk your life, all fine and good but don’t risk that of your kids, even if you don’t care about your life, what about the elderly people around you.

My point is that we should not delay the normal progression of school pupils because we are afraid of what might happen at one or two schools where the principal and staff might fail to make their students abide by the safety guidelines. Any principal or teacher who knows the worth of his onion should be able to order all students, and even parents to wear their face covering before they approach their office or staff roomc, not to talk of entering the school compound. If many students or staff test positive at such schools, it should be shut down. They then write SSCE next year and probably continue regular classes after two, three or four weeks during which disinfection procedure must have taken place.

As for who is at risk of dying of the virus; I think everybody is at risk. The older ones are at higher risk, but there are reports of people below 10 years of age who also died. So everyone should take all the necessary precautions.

Will Governor Sanwo-Olu decide against caution? I doubt Lagos is ready for school reopening since the state is the epicentre of the nobel coronavirus.

proffemi:


One or two schools? Do you know that there are close to 10,000 secondary schools in Nigeria? Bros, take it to the bank, you will have positive tests in at least 500 schools over the next few weeks. And for you to think a principal "worth his onions" can prevent students from infecting themselves or others shows that you are out of touch with how secondary schools in Nigeria operate. No matter how many guidelines, will you stop students from walking home together? Playing together? You may think it makes sense to just cavalierly blame principals for infections, but there is no power on earth that can stop students infecting others. That is what the Israel example shows us. You are also cavalier in implying some students should just write SSCE next year because of a stupid rush that I have already shown makes no sense. Isn't that cruel of you?


Everything you've said here is obvious to anyone who has followed this outbreak. I was was de emphasizing the kids because your initial post made it clear that you thought the main concern was about kids dying.

Mr man, do you know how many people have already been infected by coronavirus and have been healed? Without leaving their premises.

People with loss of smell and taste.

Corona will go round but it is not deadly as alarmed by Bill Gates and his wife.

I know that the population is now ready to confront this disease as it has gone round already.

proffemi:


Do not call me "Mr Man". Tw*t.
The words "Bill Gates" in your post suggest you're not someone I want to waste a few minutes of my life on. Please mind your lane, and have a good morning.
