Atheists will have a field day with this even if it comes to pass later.

Goshen360:
I'm not teaching you jack....because you believe one verse you quoted out of context is correct and you want to run with that....if vengeance in that context is equal to God's wrath visiting people with this virus, why do some pastors or Christians who believe in same God died of it?

Btw, who are you for me to run away from? I have the right to continue the conversation or stop talking to you

Witches believe and are headed for the infinite hole. Even the devil too believes. If alleged believers dying is your reason for challenging a clear and simple scripture, good night.

Goshen360:
I have no reason to run for nothing. I have busy job and I'm not shutdown due to the pandemic going on. Again, read in context and stop reading out of context.

Read what in context?
be specific or shut it and skillfully run away.

lastempero:
Iam not inciting anybody, just telling you the truth people like you are afraid to admit.you cant be more xtain than me but the church have always avoided and refuse to be practical when it comes to the message of love that jesus christ brought to us. Everyone knows that govt has failed the people and that's why alot of people took solace in religion so are you going to comfort them or ignore their plight? If they have succeded in eating ur brain in the name of religion,mine is still intact.

I can be more christian than you sir. I was more mathematical than you and therefore more Christlike than you. Sorry for the sad news.

Lol...the politicians know how undocumented population figure & details aid their evil plans so they may never do anything about record keeping. A nation with no good ID system for 60 years, it that one a nation?

oz4real83:
I will continue to blame the federal govt for any loss of lives occassioned by the corona-19 virus. The FG knew the "Nigerian lifestyle". The FG knew that most Nigerians don't adhere strictly to instructions no matter how important, the FG knew that contagious diseases travel faster in over-populated environments just like in Nigeria, the FG knew the high level of poverty in Nigeria and that many Nigerians cannot afford a total stay at home policy, that was why the FG shouldn't have allowed the disease through our ports whether air, land or water. Anybody coming through the ports should have been tested at points of entries and if any tests positive, should have been sent directly to treatment centres instead of allowing them to go home. Tracing over 4000 people without adequate information about them is almost impossible.

That's why UN isn't impressed with our porous borders accommodating every tom dic n hary in subshahara africa. To compound it not good record system with population details like addresses, age, sex, nationality, and bios. We confuse unplanned urbanization for development.

Seun:
I thought our NCDC was more competent than this.

Lol...competent? Even the NCDC staffs I doubt they have testkits for themselves or bedspace.

lastempero:
If churches in Nigeria will be able to use just 20% of their income to work for their members alone(iam not talking about the public just their members) seriously tye society will be alot better and the problem of poverty will be reduced drastically. Kudos to dominion city Lagos.

How can 20% of 10% (tithe) have an impact the remaining 90% couldn't have? Your mathematics is disturbing. Stop inciting worshippers against the church leadership o.

The govt ( FG, State & LG) that just shared half a trillion in allocation for February are hijacking Jack Ma's donation for themselves and you are here talking hate speech against churches.
What about northern states who use state fund to build mosques?

haaaaaaaaa:
We all know the virus has spread beyond control in Lagos.
A lot of people already have it but are not showing any symptoms yet.

I had serious fever, eye pain, joint pain and dry cough for three days.

I didn't do any test, all I did was isolate myself from others.

I ate plenty fruits and gave my self three doses of Emal antimalarial injection for three consecutive days.

I'm doing fine now even without any cough mix.
There's no cause for alarm guys.

We're strong enough to handle this.

Government will continue to lie and decieve us. They make decisions behind closed doors and prioritize themselves and the wealthy.

For now, they are willing to attend to only themselves and ignore the ordinary people.
How many ordinary people have been tested positive for coronavirus? None I guess.

Guys wake up and take charge of your life.

We are on our own oooooo

The ******** will not be televised!

Jakumo:
Fair enough then, how about ALL group worshiping being abolished until further notice ?

I got no problem with that, since I have never set foot in ANY form of religious gathering, out of personal choice.

If the global health authorities state that the Corona virus infection rate is dramatically slowed down when all large gatherings are banned, then so be it, and let us permit common sense survival advice to guide our every action in this time of a looming microbial Armageddon.

The only losers when all citizens are obliged to worship in the privacy of their own homes, would be the greedy pastors and Imams, who will no longer be in a position to extort money from their followers, under the ridiculous pretext of having Papa God's personal phone number.

Anyone who lightens the pockets of others while distracting them with holy references, is nothing more than a charlatan and a thief.

How come you didn't jump on that thread or talk about the first major group to gather. Your anger with Oyedepo is clearly personal.

CoolAmbience:
This is falsehood.

The directive is for everyone.

Why always Oyedepo?

The thread I link you to is that of Muslim Supreme Council telling muslims to disobey govt openly and not of govt or by govt. Read the thread well. Points 4 and 6.

Just wait for Sunday when see people around canaanland going to worship in Oyedepo's Church. Nobody is concerned about muslims gathering and an open directive from Supreme Muslim Council in Nigeria encouraging gathering.

Jakumo:
No such thing as bad publicity, so the old saying goes, so I thank you kindly sir, for stopping by and drawing attention to my opinion about our man Pastor Oledepo of the Holy Slap fame, and his monumentally idiotic call that the current global lock-down order should be ignored by his brainwashed cult of cash-donating lemmings.

Read this thread and pay special attention to points 4 and 6.

https://www.nairaland.com/5745463/covid-19-muslims-nigeria-nigerian-supreme


Muslims are going against govt but no noise.

CoolAmbience:
The only 'luck' he has is that I am not the president.

I won't say more.

The man misbehaves alot.

Go through this thread and read point 4 & 6 slowly.

https://www.nairaland.com/5745463/covid-19-muslims-nigeria-nigerian-supreme


They are permitting muslims to gather and that is against the directive of govt or NCDC. Now if Oyedepo follows same pattern we get to see a reaction from folks whose soul is being partly stirred by satanic forces against Oyedepo.

orisa37:
These Northerners are so immoral, contemptuous, arrogant and silly.

I got this from a thread about the COVID-19 to muslims.
https://www.nairaland.com/5745463/covid-19-muslims-nigeria-nigerian-supreme

4. In the event of confirmed emergence of the infection in several figures, regarding the congregational prayers, in such affected places, including the Friday prayers, funeral prayers, tarawih prayers and Eid prayers; people with compromised immunity such as the elderly, children, those with underlying health conditions amongst others should observe their prayers in their homes or wherever they are, and pray Zuhr in place of the Friday (Jum’ah) prayers.

That is a clear directive against the govt directive to all citizens. Govt dictates social distance and no gatherings but they say only if your immune system is compromised is when shouldn't gather to pray along other muslims. Now if Oyedepo goes ahead with his service on Sunday, some foólish folks will say he should be arrested. The law is only against Christians in Nigeria.

Tajbol4splend:
I agree, the Seun guy should not just be using the website visitors to make money and not prove useful in return

He isn't using the website visitor to make money you are the one using the website to get what you came for. Don't tell me you wasted your data, assets(phone electricity) and time just visit for visiting sake. Like every venture out there the relationship is a mutual one.

Seun:
If someone knows how to mass produce masks, preferably the n95 ones, so people can do their business without getting the virus, let us know.

If only Buhari can be half as proactive in thought as you alone. Commonsense dictates that preventive measure be prioritized above shut down strategy which is more of a copy and paste of advanced nation's policies approach. Masks don't appear that hard to make.

it is largely a thing of airborne viral load filtering fabric stitched unto some handle. Same thing too for sanitizers, we have the raw materials.

This is why I nod my head when I see Nigerians claiming to be more developed than Kenya or Uganda, or Rwanda. Development isn't a count of mansions and big cars. It is the ability to adapt to extreme and shock situations like these. Our per capital GDP is low and disperse. Accommodation aren't well spaced, water security=zero, food security=O.Y.O., The least I expect is the military engineers to be tasked along with willing scientists from the society to try and produce these items on the fly but Buhari is more concerned about his own life first.

Nbote:
Now imagine how many of those ppl are positive and have had contacts with other ppl... D tym dis govt spent making noise about being prepared would have been beta spent actually preparing

Lol...We(Blacks) are more concerned about appearing secure than being secure.

This is an option, however I believe speedy testing and isolation of new cases is the most potent weapon/strategy to curtail its spread.
Only the truly advanced nations can quickly come up with fast and accurate testkits. As for OP, I believe your suggestion goes to the cure and management of infected people.

We simple don't have what it takes to manage the situation.

Great thread that help exposed NOI and GEJ as economic prodigal children.

As early as 7am this morning as movement gets restricted across Lagos, we started to package grocery items to meet the needs of our Eagles in dire need.

We particularly want to thank you all for your kind donations so far. We can still do more in the window that’s available. Link on thecualumni.official instagram bio to donate!

Thanks to FoodJaar @foodjaar , a fresh food distribution company run by two Eagles, for partnering with us during these unprecendented times.
More updates to follow.

Lalasticlala

You don come again o.

It makes sense sha. They like to isolate CU grads and castigate them so it makes sense they reach out to one another in times like this.

Reference:
Seun, I said as far back as early February that this pandemic was more an economic battle than a healthcare one. Let this be clear to Nigerians. We donot have social security, we donot have medicaid and medical insurance remains in its infancy. The typical Nigerian pays his medical bills from his pocket, he will have to pay to receive Covid -19 treatmemt from a pocket that is under threat now.

As we speak even goverment doctors are being asked to source their PPE to battle this scourge. The government cannot provide the basic tools of war. That is how under resourced our goverment is. Now you ask your citizens to fight this pestilence with one economic hand tied behind their backs. How is the country going to win.

If this pestilence lasts till the end of the year, who can survive 8 months without income. Can this country survive a year without an agricultural planting season?....You shut the markets and farmers cannot sell their produce, why will they cultivate anew even as the rains have come. This thing has long term implications.

Other nations are precise and deliberate in their planning. They have an entry and exit strategy to shutting down. What is the strategy of this government in handling this crises. Please help me ask them.

Testing is key. read up "covid-19 testing" and see how south Korea and UK are handling it like malaria. They have the technological knowhow to handle testkit production. They have state of heart blood testing robots that can outwork any human laboratory. What do we have? Big men with cars and mansions.

Seun:
Total curfew is at best a time saving tactic. You still have to test, test, test to find those who have the virus and stop them from spreading it. A curfew without doing that will only slow the spread; it will not stop it. And once the curfew is lifted, the disease will come back.

If not for some of your retárded mods banning discriminately, I was stressing the place and importance of testing and speedy isolation few days ago. South Korea has been at the forefront of the testing kit advancement game so far. We have zero testing strategy. Without testing fears will multiply and rumours are bound to spring up because people are left to speculate. With accurate and speedy testing available, it becomes super easy to isolate new cases before symptoms show, by which time it might be too late.

Test method like antibodies analysis will definitely be too slow for us.

This pandemic has taught me that rural life equally has its on advantages. The farmers are living well, feeding and carrying on because they aren't under the urban pressure of interacting with a dozen folks a day to maintain it.

In Anambra with N500 facemask don't set. For hand sanitizer. Facemask isn't hard now. Just tie your mantle or hankie if they try inflate.

Seun:
If there are only 46 cases in Nigeria, most of whom have a history of travel abroad, why are they doing all this? Shutting down the country doesn’t solve the virus. It only gives more time for the real work: testing, isolation and treatment. So how will essential businesses run without buying things from Lagos?

I quess it is beginning to get to Oga Seun. Nigeria isn't as strong as many of the advanced nations restricting business. Maybe it is time to allow everybody roam and let's test drive our faith.

ornicus:
not holding brief for any imams - but is oyedepo not supposed to be educated? everyday we are told about how muslims are illiterate kunu drinkers holding this country back. so are we saying christian and their leaders are just as stupid and backward?

or are you saying that because some irresponsible Americans are partying in this time, the rest of us should as well?

i hope oyedepo and his crew will hold burial rites if this thing gets out of control

You are judging a reaction without considering the action that lead to it. Where were you when imams held gathering on Friday? Another Friday is around the corner pls observe and criticize them for gathering also. Oyedepo isn't your problem. You govt that was careless isn't being held responsible.

Mrteju:
You'll do well by mentioning the mosque and the name of the leader(Imam) that led the prayer. Must we always justify wrong doing by stating who else did such?

In his words, Bishop Oyedepo claimed the service was for awareness(in his face saving press release). What happened if a number of the attendees were infected with the deadly virus, would the awareness campaign still be justified?

Why didn't he carry out such awareness in his UK/US branch?

No one is above mistake, let's agree on that and learn. I put it to you once more to name any mosque(Central) that's as big as Oyedepo's church that had a Jumat service last Friday.

Now u guys have introduced size as a criteria. Gathering na gathering bros.

[quote author= post=87770620]Less than 6 hours from now, we will read the true story of how they are sharing these supplies to all the most affected states first before sharing it all over the country (which make sense) rather than the impression we are having here as if 100% of everything that has been hijacked to Abuja!

We will be looking forward to read that Lagos state's share was left behind.
They won't be that stupid to move EVERYTHING to just Abuja alone and leave nothing behind to the most affected state in the country!
Why not move it straight to Abuja straight from China,
if they want it to remain in Abuja alone?
We should all learn how to read logically.


It is always good and refreshing to know that we still have reasonable and sensible people like you on this forum.
Anyone with Common sense will know what you type is nothing but the truth!
Simple Logic![/quote]We all know Your Buhari has his focus on the upper part of the Nigerian map.
Stop speculating fairness from a man known for nepotism.

Jakumo:
This man of dog, Thieving Pastor Oledepo, intoxicated with the vast wealth that he has acquired by taking money from the desperate poor, imagines himself to be smarter than the entire scientific community now urging the entire planet to go into lock-down as a virus preventative measure.

Frightened that the government mandated dispersal of his gullible flock will affect his ability to rake in mountains of free cash, the greedy pastor chose to DEFY the Nigerian government directive, by insisting that his impoverished cash donors continue showing up in his cattle-shed church, so as to continue feeding his insatiable greed for free money, all in the name of Jeeeeeeeesus, naturally.

While this writer does not ascribe to ANY formalized modality of religious worship, the stand taken by Nigeria's northern Islamic youths, who are demanding the immediate arrest of Pastor Oledeopo, is highly commendable, give the severity of the lethal consequences that could arise from a mass disregard of the Nigerian government's standing ORDER instructing ALL citizens to retreat into the relative safety of their homes, while the contagion rages across our fragile planet, decimating human life as it progresses.

Oga Jakumo, education doesn't start and end with the ability to speak and write good English o.
Two days before the Oyedepo church services they are bursting veins over was held, Imams to gathered their untouchable flocks for Jumat but the only realized the dangers of gathering after churches gathered. Now that has been the foundational problem of Nigeria for decades or even centuries. Some folks somewhere taking other to inferior.

Oyedepo is just a pastor who does not force himself on others. If you are mad he is making money from people go and start a church too and make yours. When he started the schools under his ministry, you guys equally alleged he was profiting billions from it but I am surprised, of all the private school owners non has any traceable wealth that's growing.

Goshen360:
Read the rest of the verses in context not out of context

What part of the rest? Be specific or are you running away already?
