nwachrist:
I still wonder the main reason why FG is relaxing this lockdown just at the point our positive case keep increasing.

Just look new cases coming out since last week. Next three weeks will oh! God pls help us.

They can't cater to everyone under lockdown. People have to earn and the Nigerian system isn't doing anything to help. And oh well they had one month to make much more significant gains and they blew it

jasontrigga:
Those guys at NCDC are very funny
The only propagate fear in people

With all the money and other donations

Haven’t heard them talk about conducting a research for a vaccine or cure

The only thing they know is “sit at home “ irrespective of the economy situation of most individuals and business

Sit at home can’t never and wouldn’t be the solution

Not just them but where are all our academicians and researchers

EmekaBlue:
many people have being presenting rapid test kits u could even buy in a pharmacy and works 100% coz its also used in other countries but they refuse to approve for reason best known to them

The minister of health once made a remark on their reliability and accuracy which I believe is the reason we're sticking to molecular testing

Adam09:


The second wave of the spread will be #mad o!

I understand the pressure, but it is better to get it right.

In Nigeria's case are we even through with the first wave

ghettokid1:
Their photo or i don believe it

They should show their photo to do what?

How was the compliance level before now?

Blackmiserable:
Remind me again, please. The name of the guy in the middle of your pics.

Francis odenga

hope4nigeria:
all lies, Northern Nigeria has turned Corona virus to their INEC system where to cash out big time on Nigerian national budget.

Someone should wake kogi state up then

If and when we get out of this so many things need to be overhauled

Tom05:
All the states are confirming cases because of money to share. Nigeria and propaganda..

Ortom no like money baa

fruqy:
No one is talking about how 17 people died in a day from COVID-19. The number of death keeps on increasing

And it isn't even complete , some that happened yesterday haven't been registered by ncdc yet

Waiting for the comments

Discombulator:
Listen up,they test more than 2million people per day,I'm not sure you're current,they are currently working on increasing their testing capacity to 5million daily,they've tested more than the whole world put together.
Try to do your research before argument bro

https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily

No you should do yours

I was only refuting the claim that they have tested more than 70million

Blazebond:
No need to laugh whether kano get 90 or 10 cases,make Una stop all this nonsense talk about ignorance,how many of Una don obey the lockdown since day one without going out of your apartment,una feel say Na only kano poor people dey or Una feel say Una better pass kano people? Instead of us all to they give each other encouragements,we dey form oversabi dey say Na ignorance put Kano for there,if dem test Nigeria properly Una go ba d number of corona cases when each state go get.

trust Nigerians and their superiority complex . I knew it was going to happen once it started entering northern states sha. Now it's Kano people this gandollar that

Sanchez01:
TonyeBarcanista, AngelFrost, you guys want to get in here and explain the sudden spike in Kano?

Community transmission, lifestyle of people and people still not taking precautions(probably still moving around)

jidamsel43:
Enough of this politicized figures. some Governors are deliberately increasing the figure in order to benefit from convid-19 largesse from federal government

I guess benue state doesn't need money

PositiveDirect:
Looking at this increasing number, is this the right time to ease lockdown let's ask ourselves?

No not really but since there's nothing to cushion the effect of the lockdown government should free the people. It wasn't even a national and total lockdown. We should just hope for the best

Compliant:
It is according to their forecast

Honestly it's like people don't follow the news and trends of this thing .

senatordave1:
So many inconsistencies.the ncdc boss even betrayed himself by indirectly saying that every state will have it when he visited IMO.

He said so because he saw Nigerians were defying the lockdown measures and were still engaging in interstate travels. That's why I fear for kogi and cross river not recording a known case now because when they do the numbers of infections could have eaten deep

Norphiee:
Ogun state no confirm anything, whereas it's a busy place here...we keep treating fever and malaria in this country calling them COVID-19

The ones battling with COVID-19 are the ones dying

You think covid kills everyone infected?

Frankenstein:
Are Algeria, Egypt, South Africa, Cameroon and Ghana also trying to gain attention from WHO and the UN?

They think Nigeria is the only country with Covid 19

Discombulator:
You're very ignorant, we haven't even begin to peak yet,if you're aware of the facts you'll know that usa has texted a million more than Nigeria.
Nigeria tested 15,000 and almost 2,000 are positive, while USA has texted over 70million people in case you don't know that is why they have a million cases.
But the time Nigeria starts testing up to a million people we might have around 250,000 cases then.
What do you think killed those 800 people in kano
You lots don't know what is going on.

USA 70million Nah that's BS

And while I'm not totally sure about Kano's mysterious deaths, I feel Lagos should also be experiencing the same with the level of spreading there

sulasa07:
I believe Corona in Nigeria at the moment is still Audio but in the next 3-4 weeks,the real Corona will show face and our Government will start to tell us what they've being doing with all the Covid-19 funds they obtained.

And why is it audio? Low deaths? Low recoveries? No pictures

I like how some people don't question this news(albeit unfortunate) but will call it audio and start demanding pictures (as if they are doing photography there) when cases get discharged . People are funny . So until Nigeria starts experiencing mass deaths then corona is video

jawalis:
You mean More Malaria patients were discharged?
Audio Discharge.
I keep asking myself and the entire Nation what the hospitals and agencies discharging patients has been administering to the patients that aid such fast recovery and recuperation.
And why can’t the Medical researchers, virologist and Other health professionals come together and enquire for that special gene, trait of biological concept of the body of those discharged patients and collect sample while the push effort to produce probably a temporary vaccine for the main time.

You think Nigeria is the ONLY country discharging patients?

Oshkosch:
We need about 50,000 bed isolation and treatment centers.

While I'm kinda happy corona is going to show how horrible we are as a nation in terms of health, I'm worried it might get to the point where we actually need such capacity

Arrewa:
Nice one Babajide!!!

Nigerians are just living in pretense. Pretending like they believe covid19 exist.

But majority of Nigerians deep within still doubt the NCDC reports, & stories. They're seeing the whole thing like a movie.

True/false? But we are not ready for the talk.

True it's like a movie, like almost 300k dead just like that worldwide? Like all the daily updates concerning new infections and deaths .
Yeah people don't believe, some because of preconceived notion of Nigeria being a corrupt country while some are waiting for the media to paint it as a national emergency like other countries, like people struggling with their life and stuff like that

COMPAQ:
In fact Buhari should be using this crisis to execute a number of things. The opportunity to do this was there in 2015, but he was was too politically scared to do them, perhaps because of second term.

Full deregulation of petrol prices: As far as I'm concerned the modulation policy credited to NNPC MD still leaves an entry point for FG. It should be fully deregulated like diesel

Implementation of Orasanye report. Nigeria has too many unproductive civil servants.

Reducing the budget of National Assembly: I still don't understand how the NASS has more budget than many states in Nigeria.

Privatization of more government companies: There are still many government assets that would benefit from privatisation, such as NTA, airports, sea ports and even roads. That frees up FG from having to make allocations and pay salaries.

Reducing the salaries AND ALLOWANCES of Nigerian political appointees, the president and his vice president.

Concerning the national assembly I agree with that. I don't know what sort of deal they had with the executive for them to be afraid to look into(not just this administration). Perhaps there's a constitutional act preventing that? �

adecz:



VIO, Licensing Office & Road safety
should be merged with immediate effect.


The Senate legislative arm of government
should be scrapped as the House
of Assembly can suffice to make
laws for our land .

The office of deputy governor
can also go, while Head Of Service
will act when governor is away.


Office of The First Lady be terminated
& her activities restricted to the
Kitchen & Za oza room.

Some of these can only be done by constitution amendment I think �

Shollyderk:
The virus is in Nigeria I accept that but it isn’t up to what this uneducated corrupt government and their cheating platform the NCDC are giving us. They are making billions of naira everyday from this. They have to keep making the cases higher than the norm so that the cash keep flowing into the account. Wake up Nigerians

You work at NCDC? So Lagos wants to take pride in becoming corona epicenter in Nigeria? There's corruption in Nigeria yes but that doesn't each and every decision is a means to embezzle money!

Trigalee:
Show us their pictures!

Just like that?

Focusmind:
That's why most western countries usually object to appointing people from Africa and developing world into sensitive UN positions.

They are not usually strong and could easily be manipulated for lack of confidence and sometimes low self esteem.

I feel pity for the man. He must have been arm twisted by China. For one, he failed to call the virus "Wuhan Virus" against known previous ways of coding virus names.

Spanish flu - Spain
Ebola Virus - Ebola in Congo
Lassa Fever - Lassa town in Borno State
Korean swine flu - South Korea
Newcastle cow disease - Newcastle in England

Even Siamese twins came from a town named siamese in South East Asia.
Tsunami is also a town Indonesia.

1. Spanish flu didn't originate in spain
2. New WHO guidelines is to not associate these things with geographic origin
