I wonder. If school resumption is allowed, then it means covid might not be fatal as FG made us believe or they don't value the lives of school children.
you just said it they don't value the lives of the masses most of them who have kids here don't let them go out they know how real this shit really is

Follow my thought process.

How did the Wuhan virus spread all part of the world? Air Transportation.

How did it come to get Nigeria? Air Transportation.

How did it spread to states that have no international airport or local airport? Road transportation.

With the above points, do you still think lock down won't help?



I feel you. What you are saying is the plain truth but the thing is when Nigerians hear the word "lockdown", it resonates with "hunger".
I feel there are other ways to do a lockdown. I.e order all businesses who need to perform services to in-house its staff to prevent movement. Restrict market to 2-3 days a week like before. Stop religious gatherings, weddings, parties, etc. Yes and ban all flights till cases reduce. Like someone said here if we dont lockdown to stop the virus, the virus will force us to start a lockdown.

Im dismayed and shocked that inspire of the rising cases the FG allowed schools to ope.

I think it is time we rise up to our voices and call on the FG to enforce a Total lockdown now for 8weeks.

We the Nigerian youths at this time are angry and will embark on a massive protest soon.

I urge Nigerians to begin now to stock their homes and expect a total lockdown soon.

What are you still doing on the floor then rise up and do your thing. Ppl hear know better.

I wish that I'm in the seat of power. This government that I'm seeing is afraid of the masses. They are afraid of the masses turning against them.

What they don't understand is the fact that when people start dying like chicken they will still turn against you.

We need leaders who ain't afraid of doing the right thing even at the expense of people hating you.


You think this govt gives a hoot about people's feelings. Lmao. A govt that can kill innocent protesters no send you. It's saving the economy that matters to them. They lost revenue during the earlier lockdown, they're not prepared to tow that path. Ironically, it also benefits the citizenry. We're fine with it. Also, let's not deceive ourselves. Virtually all Nigerians have been exposed to this virus. But, we'd all be fine

The virus will not force us to start a lockdown. If I take your blood sample and run a test, there's a 75% chance that I'd see COVID-19 antibodies in your blood. Virtually all Nigerians have been exposed to the virus. We'd be fine. Lockdown will do no one any good

Follow my own thought process. Lockdown in Nigeria aids no one. We should have shutdown air transport and not bring in the virus in the first place. Now it's here with us, we can only live with it. Thankfully, the fatality rate of the virus is low. Lockdown will total crumble the economy, would lead to a tripling of contraction rate and would kill more people (hunger). You need to see how lockdown is in saner climes. People practically do not have to leave their homes. They can simply order for supplies. No one needs to go to the bank. Cashless policy exists over there. Not so In Naija. I surveyed the environment to see how people filled the streets during those days where the lockdown was relaxed to allow people restock. It was a funny sight. I stand by what I said, lockdown in Naija na formality

Points noted. But if the virus becomes uncontrollable, we will still be force to shut down and everything you listed above will still take place. But by then, thousands of lives would have gone with it.

Remember, the reason for the low fatality is still majorly because our health facilities is still controlling this virus. By the time the cases becomes uncontrollable, it's only the rich that will be treated. You and I that don't want to die of hunger will probably be the one fighting for oxygen to breathe.

Two options. Hunger or Oxygen

Omo. Which kind talk be this one? How would anyone say the reason for low fatalities in naija is because health facilities is controlling the virus? Do you know the country you're talking about? It's Nigeria please. Health facilities that don't even have appropriate PPEs? Haba na. The reason for low fatalities is because the population of Nigeria is mainly youths. The elder are mostly at risk of death to COVID-19. Also, for some reasons, our immune system is better built for this virus. That's the ONLY reason we're experiencing low death rates. By your very much flawed analogy, our health care system is better than the U.S and other developed nations that are having thousands of deaths per day? Does that make sense to you?

Oga, Nigerians are not a silent group of people abeg. If one house experience strange deaths from COVID-19 related symptoms and another house same, people would raise alarm. They'll come to social media, especially twitter to tell the world about how their governor (Yahala Bello) wants to kill them by downplaying the virus. Nothing of such is happening. I have so many friends in Kogi. Everyone of them says what that guy said. No mysterious deaths in Kogi state. Everything is going on well there. If there is anyone myopic here, it's you boss

Do you know that last year Nigeria shut down her airspace for 4 months but US didn't shut down their own. Do you know that Nigeria shut down her biggest cities for six weeks but US only shut down Newyork. Do you know it was because of the foolish endsars protest the Governor of Lagos fully opened up Lagos from his partial shut down.

So why are you comparing us with US?

You specifically mentioned 'health facilities'. Bring it up in your argument. No one cares when Nigeria shut down airports or the likes. The virus still got in and spread. You can't say our health facilities are the reason why there's low death rate. That's grossly inaccurate
