Sir, I reside in Lagos, Nigeria.

Then you should know that what you wrote up there is impossible in this country.

femmy2010:
I am for a total Lockdown for another Max for 3 weeks.
The 36 states should lockdown. No movement and security operatives should be punished for receiving bribe in exchange for the passage of human or vehicular movement.
Markets should only open ones a week for the aforementioned lockdown duration and social distancing should be enforced on those market days.
The government should continue to give palliatives to the poorest of the poorest in the society as currently been done.
Those that have been paying taxes but need government's cash assistance can be helped with a token of Max N25,000 while zero taxpayers that desire to be paid palliatives should be made aware that a percentage would be deducted from their future earnings as tax using the same BVN they desire to be paid with.

It's obvious you are not in Nigeria.

From the way things are going, it seems like our last hope is vaccine. Aside that, we will keep going in circle. A country might fully contain the virus, then it will take just one person to bring in the virus into the country again... And the circle continues.

Pastor Odumeje should be number one on that list... I wonder the kind of brain that his members have.

To some people now, Sowore must be an iPod for making this comment.

HeavenlyHolines:
I guess u r in Russia coz in Kazakhstan, we also celebrated ours yesterday

Wow... Nigerians too dey Kazakhstan.

I don't understand... Which fighter jet uses propeller in this generation of anti aircraft guns.

This one can't fly fast and high enough to avoid AAG.

DanArrewa:
Fake news!!

When are guys ever going to stop spreading fake news!!

I'm in kano this news is FAkE!!

Ipobs are just too eager to see the down fall of the North!! But it's never going to happen!!

In as much as I know that this is fake news, don't bring ipobs into this matter.

Not sure this is a good idea... If you suspend charges, banks profit will drop and they will have a good reason not to pay salary. Therefore the measure will be counter productive.

xreal:
Don't you know what happened there yesterday?

what happened there yesterday...

Keep gunning the bastards... No need to waste our scarce resources trying to rehabilitate them...

Anything that will make us more prepared and ready is welcomed....


But just as Buhari said, in as much as we are getting ready, we are not praying to get to that point where we will use them.

Jarus:
You said what many Kano Muslims said, not what Islam said.

By the way, I doubt it. Why most Hausa Muslims are not afraid of corona is the same reason they are hardly afraid to die. Their argument is usually, there is nothing to fear in corona because we will all die anyway, not because they believe Islam says they will not have corona.

I leave in Kano, and where I work, I come in contact with lots of people. Just that there are something I wouldn't want to say here. But those guys u see claiming that Corona can't affect them. Some one told them so.

They person even told them that the virus was hitting US and western Europe hard cos of the evils they have committed to Muslims in the middle East.

We all know that is not the teaching of Islam. But the preachers twist everything and it end up messing the mind of the followers.

Same way a pastor will tell his followers to put on one yellow vest that it will serve as bullet proof. Their followers will now believe the pastor and then refuse to take precautions.

Jarus:
Well, Islam did not fail me. Islam did not tell me because you’re a Muslim, you will not die from pandemic

Do you know how many people in Kano that have the notion that Muslims can't die from this virus when it started hitting Italy and Spain. One right there in our office said, "ai mu musulumi ne, Corona ba ya kama mu"

That they are Muslims, Corona doesn't infect them.

All these stories for the gods sef... Person don die, make them allow am rest abeg...

This country is something else. When you complain, even when the thing is so glaring, they will call you iPod or Igbo...


Sometimes, am forced to believe that truly truly, there are youths who are been paid so as to defend this govt. But one thing is certain, what ever suffering in Nigeria will affect every one whether iPod or no iPod.

Link to the thread.

The comments on that thread is really heart breaking. It shows that some Nigerians lack common sense. Most people even blame the police force for extra judicial killing as if we don't know who or what our police are capable of doing. Now, am not defending the action of the police, but there is something I have learnt while growing up... Don't put ur self in a position where you will be blamed when something happens to you.

Simple govt order of stay at home, some people are flaunting. This is for the good of everyone. If Corona virus shld devastate us, it's still the citizens that will blame the govt for not taking action.

Look at the guy that was killed in Anambra state... Simple stay at home, they are out playing football. Why can't we just obey simple instructions.

Am not in any way defending the police for their brutality, but I do not think that if u r at home, that the police will walk into ur room to kill u.

I want to believe that non of us here will see fire and decide to jump into it. An average Nigerian knows that our police have issues so then will u want to challenge one.

This country sef... Why will medical purchase by the health ministry go through ministry of agric.

If the presidency is having issue with the minister, why not just have him removed than having the ministry to suffer cos of one man.

Our govt should have done better... See how the mourners clustered one another. At a time like this, especially when we knw the cause of his death, such number of people shouldn't have been allowed.

This same people will now go home and be with their respective families.

I don't know when we will start getting things right in this nation. Almost everything we do is out of eye service. A man died of Corona virus. And then we have sympathizers flocking all over the place without observing safety rules of social distance. Why will the govt and ncdc allow such a crowd to be in the venue. This is like exposing more people to the virus.

.

I don't understand street cleaners... I thought they were supposed to be health workers.

This one na daredevil bag... The company need to be closed

My own is just question o... Why are we not seeing the hospital and isolation centers where the patients are been treated. How come we haven't seen on the media, our doctors with their PPE treating the patients just as it's shown in other countries.

If it were buhari that got infected as Boris Johnson did, will his treatment and recovery be made open to the nation just as UK did thiers.

chatinent:
You felt Nigeria was a country? Lols. That's stereotype. Nigeria is an international village.

International village...? You are dignifying it...


That angel wey carry me come Nigeria eh, if I see am....

Nothing is fair in this life... It's obvious they are only treating the top citizens of this country. What annoys me now is that it's even with the money donated by well meaning Nigerians and churches that they will use to treat themselves.


This country just tire me.

This is sane country where everything is made open and clear to the public. Imagine if it was buhari that had the disease. Everything about his treatment and recovery will be shedded in secret. Nothing will be made open to the citizens. Just take as an example... Look at how other countries are managing this virus issue. The media show us the hospital, we see patients on sick bed, we see how doctors attend to them on media channels. How come we haven't seen any in Nigeria. Why must everything be a mystery over here.
