What is ghana doin differently to have very low death rate, ours is very high, compare to theirs

people aren't presenting themselves for treatment.

Advantages of being an island with relatively low population.

Timbers:
Nairalanders please I need help

I'm almost 18 yrs old and I'm 5ft 10in , can I grow to 6ft 2in before age 22

When some people are ready to manage the 5'10" . Anyway like I said sometime last month you stop growing when your epiphyseal bone plates fuse. It usually occurs between 18-21 years age, because of testosterone . So depending on your genetics, GH level and other factors like nutrition, exercise etc you are likely to still have some inches in store. Honestly I wonder how those basketballers grow

Confirmedzombie:
Until this virus consume us that is when the FG will listen to my advice to lockdown the country for at least Two months.

I still maintain that only a total lockdown will save us from this COVID-19. Cases keep increasing day by day and FG is joking with it.

Nigerians must prepare to bear the Two months lockdown pains so that we can defeat the deadly virus.

I call on all well meaning Nigerians to rise up to their voices and let's prevail on the FG to enforce a Two months total lockdown across all states of the federation.

FG must not take the risk of lifting the interstate boarders ban. All churches, mosque should be closed down immediately. 

For those bloody civilians who will abuse me, I want to warn you never to abuse me or else I will tell you that you are a bloody civillian.
Kharki boys, we dont talk to much.

who will obey another lockdown

bluefilm:
Google can show you any picture of Brazilian graves, I ain't disputing that.

But I like to work with reality.

And the reality is this: how come not so many Nigerians are dropping down dead on the streets yet as a result of covid19?

that's not how covid works though . You don't just shut down

Grandmeister:
The "opportune" US has damned the virus and are protesting and rioting on the streets for days now...as far as the USA is concerned that chapter is closed lol.

And their numbers are still going up. Or you think there won't be consequences of the protests?

When we don't even have enough health workers .

ahabue111:
You can see the effects of the 5 week lockdown it has been from loss of jobs to uncertainty. The economy as a whole has been affected its closd to a collaspe. Covid19 strain here is not fatal maybe because of our immunity or so. We can't afford a lockdown it will be disastrous. Even WHO has said we would cohabit with the virus for sometime. Where is the money for most to stockup? Even with the 5 week lockdown Nigeria still has less than 20k tests which was poor. Lockdown can never be the solution.

Lockdown was to slow the spread and also create time and allocation for planning. Nigeria's own did half of the former but not the latter. We should have really ramped up testing during the lockdown not now that everyone is acting like no corona

alezzy13:
While I agree cases are rising, and the number actually infected will be far higher than is reported, I'm not sure a further lockdown is the way to go.

We are already in full blown community transmission. And by most predictions, this disease will be here for quite a while.

Other equally serious (HIV, TB, malaria, etc) are suffering, and this could lead to even worse outcomes in the long run.

This. Probably because of the relatively low fatalities people won't understand. Even another lockdown will be defied just like people defied the first one and the easing anyway. We just had no solid plan for this community transmission phase and now their plan to come out of it is reopening religious centres and asking NIGERIANS to comply with their long protocols . Is there a secret cure or vaccine they'll develop by then or they're saying there's nothing to be scared of . It just seems like truly they just copy what they see in news without proper implementation

people sitting at the comfort of their houses asking for pictures of sick covid patients and dead ones . Nigerians sha

abobote:
wonderful, how did they do it? there experience will help other States, especially Lagos state

No state can be compared to Lagos concerning covid.

Chemist009:
With the number of senseless and irresponsible comments am seeing from supposedly enlightened fellows who are supposed to be tomorrow's leaders,... Indeed we deserve the leaders we get.

And these are ones that want to go back to school

Saintinoo:
How much have states lost, please don't tell me IGR, aside Lagos and Rivers, which other state generates monthly IGR of upto 3billion naira.. Do you know how many billions involved in all what i listed above?

They have seen another means of generating money for themselves, you are talking about what they will lose, is it the penny Nigerians pay as tax they will lose?

And for a state like nasarawa that doesn't have enough IGR they'll doing badly in getting that sweet covid money

Saintinoo:
I will give you points, do your own findings...

1. Imf and Worldbank loans to be given to states with coronavirus cases.
2. States hit hard with coronavirus will forget any capital projects and focus on only paying of salaries. You know what happens to d rest money.
3. States hit by coronavirus will inflate money used for treatment.
4. Private sector will donate to states.
5. FG will give grant to states worst hit by the virus.
6. International NGOs will donate, mostly those based in the state.
7. Sharing of EU, Germany and US grant to the states with high cases. Mind you these countries have given Nigeria more than 100bn naira.
8. Post covid-19 money sharing anticipation.

The list will not finish.... Do ur own findings.

So yahaya bello is so useless he can't even find a way to get said funds . Even ortom tried

StubbornGENIUS:
Hmmm sorry oo.But I said "some of us"

just the way some of us don't know victims of bomb blasts and covid in UK. I use UK cos it's a place Nigerians travel to a lot.

jidamsel43:
There is no big deal in this. The more test you conduct, the higher the positive cases

tell that to nairalanders . But it is a big deal. It shows how much community spread has permeated the country.

Welp. The scamdemic crew will sure love this

Luckydubby7:
Is this news for real?
If so it means those calling us ignorance because we disagreed with them that covid19 was covid419 need to apologize to us.

It simply means we still need more testing unless all the cases in the state were imported and were diagnosed at point of entry into the state. Unless government don't want to cash out again

LifeOfTrigga:
But they said no cure, how are they treating those discharged.. The money them wan give during lockdown all Na audio.

bleeped Up country

Its been 5 months

Kellie069:
Reported cases de increase everyday, una de ease lockdown gradually. It doesn't tally na. Or is there something we don't understand about these NCDC covid_19 daily cases report?

Ncdc didn't lockdown the country, FG did and now the lockdown is no longer sustainable cos people would have defied it anyway like they did after two weeks.

Juliusmalema:
This coronavirus in Ebonyi that 26 has been treated and discharged....and 49 infected....Is it same kind of coronavirus that is in Lagos that 257 will be discharged at night and 353 will be infected in the morning..

Just asking

Simply means community spread in Lagos is greater than that of Ebony and by default Lagos has carried out *10 tests more than ebonyi

You're trying to propose herd immunity? It's a bad idea and simply won't work. You can ask Sweden

Drsnives:
Have been traveling all this while.. I can confidently tell you guys is coro ain't real

I've been on nairaland and I can confidently tell you coro is a scam

Maybe it's because their numbers are still kind of low. I like enugu state government's updates. At least they're telling us where these cases are, maybe people will take caution

Stevengold:
Sorry where have u travelled to? I can as well say u ain't real.

Very good analogy. Since I don't know anyone on nairaland I can confidently say that nairaland doesn't have up 5 million members . They should show me pictures of the so called members

sammysneh:
Audio corona virus,NCDC just want to make money with this corona shit..

you guys should just pick one . NCDC or state governments, who is making the money . If it's state governments why are they not rolling in higher numbers? if it's ncdc why are 34 state governments not saying anything

Investnow2017:
I am not too sure what to say about the Madagascar herb. At the last count Madagascar still has 750 active cases with 200 recoveries and their deaths have increased to 7.
What is happening? Any feedback from those that have been 'cured'? I don't think that herb solution is any more effective than the regular antimalarial meds massively used by Nigerians here. Their cases are increasing and the recoveries cannot be said to be fantastic.
.

I sure know Madagascar wouldn't want to be in the shoes of most countries. Whatever is hampering their cases should keep it up.

Exactly, the fact that only 200 recoveries have been recorded doesn't tell us and them that their purported Covid organics is anything special. So I agree with the previous comment calling it sakanmaje herbs

emimore:
Despite the politics this govornor is playing with this corona virus, we are not seeing or hearing of strange deaths in kogi, this is really questioning the presence of corona in Nigeria.

Are we even aware of our statistics in this country. When media houses started running those 'strange deaths' stories, I kept asking what was the normal death pattern of that place for you to label new ones 'strange'. No breakdown or exposé of anything. Just tag it strange deaths as if we have good deaths record

Job2004:
In as much as Covid 19 is real, i don't trust the one in Nigeria.
Sincerely if this Covid 19 is here, i am very sure by now, dead people will littered on our streets like polythene bags.
Come to think of it.
Do you know how long it took to discover the first case in Plates state?
Kogi state one of the closest state to the FCT should be having dead people every where by now.
Nasarawa state the closest to FCT have less and fewer cases, in fact when u visit Mararaba and Masaka in Karu and see crowed, by now we should carrying plenty corpses in leather bags.

Stop the business of Covid 19
Open up every where for people to go about their daily hustling.
Something must always kill a man.
Music Nigerians are dead already but just living by the grace of God.

Covid doesn't just turn off one's batteries. Right now the bane of covid rests on state governments. Either they test and know what is truly on ground or they don't and say everything is okay like Kogi and C/rivers

puyol005:
Yahaya no get enthusiasm for COVID-19 cash-out.

He's missing out then. He should ask the remaining 34 governors who are 'cashing out'

wolfenstein:
Since protest start for George Floyd's death, media for USA no talk about any serious case again in USA and this is the 11th day of the protest....


If you feel covid19 in Nigeria is serious click "Like"

If you feel covid19 in Nigeria is a scam click "Share"

They recorded 24k new cases and 900 new deaths btw. Oh and the after effects of the protests won't be immediate.

OdefaGirl:
What's actually happening in Lagos.... with all the testing centers and professionals at work?
Imagine Kano has even calmed down but Lagos??

Lagos is testing more than any state in the country. That would also mean they have more virus surveillance than other states. The reason why Kano has been on a decline is yet to be answered and if it should be a call for concern if it's that people aren't coming forward for testing . Why with all this happening and they still want to open up fully is confusing tbh
