Nobody can pay a single kobo without using the GIFMIS, REMITA, or IPPIS platform as the case may be. All these platforms are internet based with back ups at different locations.

Bear with me as I am a relative ignoramus in these matters. The auditor general's office is the auditor of the government isn't it? So there could be other records that may implicate certain people right?

So this is not necessarily a question of diverting funds. Maybe it's a question of covering up some other paper trail.

Possible yes?

seunmsg:
The operation of the office is fully computerized and all transactions are saved online with back up outside the office. Not a single essential data would be lost to the fire.

Why is it only finance related government offices that ever catch fire?

I understand full well that it is best practice to digitize records. However what is the guarantee that records are being digitized as they ought to be?

StephenSammie001:
This is serious.

This is to show that carriers of this virus may have a relapse & it is an high risk.
Get well soon sir.

This man only first showed symptoms on the 24th of March and never recovered. Let's try to read with understanding.

There is no need for Buhari to go to the war front. We just need him to show other signs of seriousness. It's now been 5 years of the troop crying of poor ammunition, 5 years of soldiers not been rotated out, 5 years of army bases getting overrun.

What is happening?

Galaticos444:
don't know how some of u will come online and b misinforming people,globally they ar 1.2million cases of d virus and jst about 70,000 death and here u ar saying d death to recovery rate is 1:4 like seriously

I forgive you for your rudeness.

An observant person would have noted that I said ratio of deaths to recovery and not ratio of deaths to infections.

SpecialAgent:
Am not being pessimistic, but are you people sure na same covid~19 way dey bombard the world come dey fear Nigerians like this

Anyways, as long as you are healthy, that's good

The ratio of dead to survivors is comparable in Nigeria as around the globe.

It is currently 1 dead: 4 recoveries globally, and about the same in Nigeria.

missimelda01:

To be fair I turned 13 shortly thereafter and repeated the year.

missimelda01:
Punishment for a crime he/she didn't commit, the parents should be educated about things like this. Since the deed has already been done, they should be tested properly before entering sec school.

It is not punishment but protection. Children should be allowed to go through development stages at a normal pace.

Abeg lie small na

I was in SS1 at the age of 12.

Firstly, FGM was done to initiate young girls into womanhood from what I know or what I heard.
Secondly, a virtuous woman for me was described in the book of proverb 31 vs 10-31. The verse 11 says the husband trust in her and in her he will get all he needs(including sexual need). That is what I mean by a virtuous woman.
Thirdly, you keep talking about civilization and modernization freeing women from shackles of conserving themselves to wildness as we see today on social media. Is it a good thing? As a traditionalist that I am that is why I am kicking. I want women to know their place when it comes to sexuality. I don't want to compare us to lower Animal even though we are Higher Animals, the coc.k chase the female and mount when it get tired it comes down. The female don't complain and start chasing the male. Same with other Animals.
Finally, every man will have to determine how he treats his woman but as for me I am going the way of my forefathers.

In one part you quote the Bible. The Bible says that neither the man nor the woman should deny themselves of the other's body. You owe it to your wife to satisfy her.

olu77:
Well, exercise improves immune system which is vital in the war against the virus. There is social distancing here so i see nothing wrong.

Social distancing here?? The recommended distance is a minimum of 2 meters...do you see anyone keeping that distance there?

Nairalandmonika:
Ok if u say so, but I believe over the coming weeks the Spain Italy n US will flatten the curve of infection n deaths and you will see more recovery. It's already happening in Spain. South Korea and iran has flatten their curve since.

I hope so.

Thanks for taking the time to engage with me.

Nairalandmonika:
Ya, but what am saying is that this is ongoing, you can't give a final verdict as these figures may change. And they vary from country to country.

I'm not suggesting a final verdict... I'm saying that as of today, we are being led to believe that 5 out of every 100 people will die whereas it's been more likely 20 out of a 100 so far...

Nairalandmonika:
U are still not making sense to me.
First of all the covid pandemic is ongoing, your calculation seems to be base on a time period. But everything happening now is ongoing, from infection to recovery to death.

At this point, you consider recovery, death and active cases.

You seems to forget active cases considering only death and recovery.

Exactly... I am deliberately excluding active cases because they should not be factored in.

So we take a ratio, clearly, 1 person dies for every 4 survivors at present. Do you agree?

Nairalandmonika:
Am trying to look for sense in your calculations

It's not complex. Totally recoveries + total deaths = total cases for any given time period.

The percentage of people who recovered is a percentage of total cases for that time period.

The percentage of people who died is a percentage of total cases for the same time period.

Added together the percentages of those who died and those who recovered must = the total population of infected for that time period.

So the fatality rate for that time period is percentage of deaths/total infected for the same time period.

Recovery rate is percentage of recovered/total deaths for that same time period.

Are you with me?

Hi all.

I believe the true fatality rate of Covid-19 is far higher than the 5% currently being reported, and the reason for this is a basic error in calculation.

Now the current fatality rate, is calculated as the percentage of deaths - X /total infected - Y, at any given point in time.

So:

1. The total number of infected is 1,298,022

2. The total of dead now is 71, 296

3. The total number of recovered is 272,837

4. The total terminated cases = recovered plus deaths = 344, 133

Now the true picture of the fatality should be calculated as the percentage of deaths - 71,296 /total terminated cases - 344,133 at any given point in time.

This figure is 20%. That is, for every 5 people infected, 1 will die.

Now the currently reported figure is 5%, calculated as total deaths (71,296) / total infected as at now (1,298,022).

This gives a figure of 5.5%.

Here is the proof that this is wrong:

If fatality = 5.5% then recovery must equal 94.5%.

Since fatality + recovery = total infections, and

Fatality rate is total deaths/total infected %

Then recovery rate must be total recovery/total infected %. Using the figures above = 272,837/ 1,298,022 = 21%

recovery rate plus death rate must = 100 but 5.5% + 21% does not.

A qualitative explanation for this error is the fact that new infections accrue in a different period of time from deaths and recoveries.

BS. Atheism has NOTHING to do with the scientific method. It asserts nothing. It only REJECTS what you have failed to PROVE.

Where's the evidence that those events in your write-up existed. I bet NONE. That is exactly why religion is fast losing its relevance in the real world where evidence is everything.

Your threats and curses mean nothing. They are merely wishful thinking.

Let me first ask you, do you really know what the scientific method is?

Miracle1991:
any link?

It's the same article right there in the OP.

alizma:
While I agree that a lot of our leaders are corrupt, I also knew it that a lot of the donations are audio donations. We remember how some people ditch tacha after all their promises, that is just typical of a Nigerian

When you will not read and read well why won't you miss the part where it explains where the money has actually been received?

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), recently said that monetary contributions by the Private Sector Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) had totaled up to about N15 billion so far. According to its spokesperson, Isaac Okorafor, the fund, domiciled in an account set up under CACOVID, has so far received donations from 37 donors including individuals, banks and other corporate organisations.

Details of the contributions showed that the CBN and Aliko Dangote Foundation contributed N2 billion each. Abdul Samad Rabiu (BUA Sugar Refinery), Segun Agbaje (GTB), Tony Elumelu (UBA), Oba Otudeko (First Bank), Jim Ovia (Zenith Bank), Herbert Wigwe (Access Bank) and Femi Otedola of Amperion Power Distribution donated N1 billion each to the relief fund.(NAN)

When a girl you like starts playing hard to get, what should you do especially when she is showing subtle signs she likes you, leaving you confused.

Should one continue to chase her till she accepts or move on?

Young man... You see that thing you call subtle signs? Is a sign that you have gone past the stage at which we can help you. You are now so in love that you are likely creating "subtle signs" out of someone's ordinary behavior. Your heart is likely to be broken my boy. But you will surely dey okay las las.

Is it buhari who made this comment below?:

"Learn to be appreciative. Government cannot do it all."

Go and ask him that too

Squillionaire:
Guys, let's not criticize for the sake of it. Ventilators are very scarce around the world now, and even with your money, you might not find to buy.

Yes, we can castigate the Nigerian government for not making healthcare a priority over the years but under the current circumstances, every government is trying its best to lay its hand on as many ventilators as it can. Trump had only a few days reached out to Putin and received a number of Ventilators from Russia as well.

This is not the time to be proud, we need all the help we can get at this time.

Brotherly help me add these up:

1. Few days ago the ministry of health said that we have a low need for respirators. That the ones we have are not being used. And only one patient has required it so far.

2. Elon Musk said he wants to give this to places that currently have a high need.

3. The ministry of finance said we need 100-500.

Which of the ministries is wrong?

Crenzywilliams:
I guess you'll also wondering why a complete year is from 1st January to 31st December and not 1st January of the next year, right?
No one can help you understand ds sir.help yourself.

Lol. Please forget what you think you are sure of. Take a deep breath and ask yourself a simple question. If 31st of December is the day before 1st of January, then why is 17th of March not the day before 18th of April?

Do yourself a favor and think well.

Vortex369:
You need to learn simple arithmetic. How can you not know that April to April is 13 months and March to March is 13 months.

You are hereby promoted to kindergarten.

April to April is only 13 months if you start from April 1st. Madam! If you start from the middle fo April it is no longer a complete month.

Crenzywilliams:
Abeg explain to this dumb dumdings that April to April is 13months and not 12months, pay your rent or get out man.

I wish I had a cane to flog all of you repeating this.

Vortex369:
His rent has expired. The landlord is right.

You need a calculator.

I just explained and you repeated it again without thinking because you have seen others repeating that faulty explanation.

femi4:
you don't know maths

Your landlord is correct, April to March = 12 months
April to April =13months

Do you really know maths yourself? Come here and apologize to this man!

Why are you counting months as discrete items when you should be counting months in terms of their constituent parts i.e days?

365 days from 18/4/2019 is 17/4/2020.

Vortex369:
Your Landlord is right, and you are wrong.

18/4/2019 to 17/3/2020 is exactly 12 months.

Very wrong. The cycle of 365 days ends precisely on the day before the anniversary of his payment. That is, 17/04/2020.

carbon1224:
Your rent expires 17/03/2020 and he is correct and there is more to this. That’s exactly 12month

His rent expires at the end of the 12th month which is 17/04/2020

17/03/2020 is only the ending of the 11th month and the 13th month begins on 18/04/2020

judgementyard:
Pls read what you wrote again.How can I hungry person find something to eat while there are no economic activity taking place?
Do you Know that there are people that eat by what they make in a day?
Well the truth is that a hungry man is an angry man and soon the 'have not ' will take by force from those that 'have'

How soon is soon? The haves actually outnumber the have nots in southern Nigeria btw...so how would that work?

As human,we are what we watch...na person wey like gospel preaching dey tune to dia stations,na person wey like wrestling dey stay glued to wwe station.

So person who likes to watch wrestling will turn into a wrestler?
