People get mind o @ the 2nd picture.

The purported Covid-19 cases reported for Kogi State: The truth as we know it.

● Nigerians are in the know of the stand off between Kogi State and NCDC that has been on for a while now, which is not unconnected to our stance to resist the ascription of fictitious confirmed cases of Covid-19 to our Dear State to suit a preformed narrative we believe is the agenda of NCDC, which is to claim every State in Nigeria has Covid-19.

● In the heat of this stand off, we woke up one morning to hear that NCDC has recorded two cases of Covid-19 for Kogi State. Your suspicion will be as good as ours hence we set out to investigate the claim and here are our findings.

1. That NCDC claims a 62 year old man and his son from Kabba LGA of Kogi State tested positive to Covid-19. According to the son, his father, who is a Hypertensive/Diabetic had attended a burial ceremony where he was stung by bees. He then developed facial problems from the sting and was taken to the Hospital. The facial swellings subsided but the body weakness persisted where eventually the managing Doctor discovered he had High Blood Sugar, which the Doctor continued to manage.

2. The Doctor confirmed that there was no time the patient presented with fever, cough or difficulty in breathing. The only complaint was that of general body weakness.

3. The Doctor had no reason to refer the patient to FMC Lokoja except on the insistence of the patient because they felt he was not getting better.

4. On reaching FMC on the 24th of May 2020, FMC claimed the patient was referred to them on account of 1week history of fever, cough and difficulty in breathing with high suspicion of Covid-19, a claim the referring Doctor has vehemently refuted.

5. The ideal thing to do, if there are no hidden agenda, is for the State's Covid-19 management
team to be invited to pick up the patient to the the State's holding area for testing and onward management.

6. According to Management of FMC Lokoja, the patient declined the intervention of the state case management team and was said to have left for Abuja for further treatment by 6am the following morning. However the letter the Kogi State Epidemiologist eventually received from NCDC informing the State of the fictitious claim showed that the patient was referred to Abuja from FMC using FMC's ambulance.

7. On reaching Abuja, a Covid-19 test was hurriedly conducted and returned positive within 24hours! Ridiculous right?

OUR WORRIES:

● One needs not dig deeper to see the handwritting clearly written on the wall at how desperate NCDC is to nail Kogi State with a Covid-19 case and there is no telling how low they are willing to stoop to do so.

● They claim the patient was positive but hasn't been taken to an Isolation centre. As at this moment he is still in the National Hospital.

● His son who was also purported to be positive was asked to go home! He remained with his father in the Hospital running errands going even as far as Suleja, in Niger State. Who are we fooling?

● It should be mentioned also that the patient's relation initially cried out to us to help evacuate them from the National Hospital but on ariving there to evacuate them, and conduct a confirmatory test using a private molecular laboratory as well as Kogi State Rapid test kits, the patient eventually denied us the opportunity to get it done, siting fear of receiving punishment from the Federal Government (NCDC). Being able to carry out this independent verification will have put to rest this matter once and for all.

● We also wish to categorically state that though NCDC has consistently refused to support Kogi State in her fight against Covid-19, WHO had been part of our team till date. Though NCDC refused to follow their own protocols on visiting the State, WHO staff who travelled out of our State and returned have always obeyed the rule of self isolation for 14 days.

● Despite the fact that we do not accept the fictitious cases, we have gone ahead to do contact tracing to identify all those who came in contact with them, tested them and they all came back negative. They will be retested in the next 14 days post first contact.

● The normal NCDC protocol is to collect samples through the State Ministries of Health where an Epid. form (Epidemiological form) will be filled by the State epidemiologist and a sample number called an epid number attached to accompany the sample to the laboratory for onward testing. In this case, who filled the form? Where is the sample's Epid. no.? Is it the FCT state epidemologist that filled the form and took samples at the same time? If that is the case then they should have recorded the cases for FCT and not bother us with their ruse.

● Nigerians need to start asking NCDC what they stand to gain by manufacturing fictitious claims and attaching them to States and how eager they are to announce confirmed cases, a situation that has had them coming out to apologise publicly.

● We will let the public be the Judge having laid down all these facts. We as a State have nothing to hide, but we continue to insist that we will not be a part of any fictitious scheme by a Federal body upon whom Nigerians put so much trust.
This will also serve as our clarification for those who have been asking.

●We have both video and audio evidences for all claims mentioned here, however for good reasons we are holding on to them till it becomes a necessity to share them to the public.

Thank You.

Drone no dey Akwa Ibom State? E get why!

i hope another batch of "Chinese Doctors" are not among?
E get why I ask O!

This one is just a very good marketing strategy. E don work for FG/NCDC.

Chief ImamFG/NCDC must answer the following posers:
1. What is the status of his contacts in the last 2 weeks?
2. Where did he contract the virus seeing that there is no religious gathering, no inter-state travels?
3. When last did he travel out of Kogi state?
4. Down the line, what is the status of his later contacts?
5. What is the status of members of his immediate family?

like the border was closed now, I will totally close the border for life. any thing we need must be produced locally, if you can't produce it then go and think.


then I will address this issue of restructuring or whatever. all the states should control their raw materials and resources. aboki guys should go and think, crude oil is not for everybody. zamfara has gold, so why is it poor? ekiti has mineral resources, let them tap it. ebonyi has rice farms, let them work, no more monkey dey work babbon dey chop, let the Niger delta keep all their oil money.

you ask how will fg get money. ALL the states will be paying taxes based on their igr and income. if you can't pay salary, that your own problem, no bail out for you, no Paris club or abacha loot, I will not give any state one naira.

you said I am dreaming. yes a dream is a space of life you want to occupy in the future. big things starts with dreams

If i were you, I'll first adopt policies that will spur internal production at such a competitive rate with foreign goods with a timeframe. Thus, it will reduce suffering.

You gat hold of Nigeria's problem.

Nigerian COVID-19 patients are healthier than some bank managers!
e get why, sha!
Mek we try another matter.

look at itel road

The body had been taken for the "Final Burial"
Na d matter dem dey so

And Tramadol has also made her list.

see wickedness! So no one wants anyone to win the 1k? See as den scatter likes on everybody's comment.

How Nigeria go take better!

I would also observe that the best will be for Africa to look inward for her development. The way our leaders run the continent exposes her to foreign influence and I dare to say that over 75% of the economic policies and programmes of the Nations in Africa are influenced by external forces to wit, lenders/donors.

Bello don spoil business for NMA in Kogi.
Imagine losing say N10,000 daily hazard allawee?
Gov. Bello na smart boy, sha!

The next 36months is going to be interesting, and tasking.
But we shall also survive.

Like how much will it cost to cover 18*20feet floor?

Jokerman:
Only money thieves I will kill especially those that steal billions

hah ah ah i don gather stones, just mention some of them you know

Jokerman:
Jail or kill some people legally or covertly

Please name those that would make your list.

In Nigeria, the first assignment after swearing in would be to revoke any license to PHCN from generating to distribution, disband NERC, and sack all workers within the power sector.

Anyways covid19 is real in Nigeria o.

Sir, no party is sole custodian of the evil Governors.

The evil ones in APC is the same evil ones in PDP.

You can't imagine that HE, Gov Udom Emmanuel is proposing slashing workers salary by 30% at this time.

Put a price/bounty and I will scout for them in my neighbourhood.

Nigeria journalists with "cause of death unknown as at press time", abi dem swear for una?

The man simply is the scapegoat of the probe/power play in the commission.

Only if people should have conscience!

For God's sake, can this man sincerely run his family the way he is running this country?

Where is the integrity, he was taunted to have possessed?

Where is the electricity to power it.
NEPA/PHCN is on hibernation/sleep mode

I thought we are in a civilized world where everything goes?
With people's reactions, there is still hope for humanity

Beggers never give!
Almajiri us Almajiri no matter the age.

They are doing APC more harm than good.
