PoliticsNHRC: Security Agencies Killed 18 During Lockdown by stanech(op): 7:06am On Apr 16, 2020
The National Human Rights Commission has reported that law enforcement agents killed 18 persons while enforcing the lockdown ordered by the Federal Government to curb the spread of the COVID-19.

The NHRC disclosed this in a report on the first phase of the lockdown, from March 30 to April 13.

The commission said a total of 105 complaints bordering on rights violations were received from 24 states during the first phase of the lockdown.


The Executive Secretary of the NHRC, Tony Ojukwu, said the complaints came from the Federal Capital Territory, Abia, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross Rivers and Ebonyi states.

Complaints were also received from Edo, Enugu, Ekiti, Delta Gombe, Imo, Kaduna, Katsina, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Osun, Plateau and Rivers states.

The complaints received and documented by the NHRC within the period include cases of extrajudicial killings, violation of right to freedom of movement, unlawful arrest and detention, and seizure/confiscation of properties.
There were also cases of sexual and gender based violence, discrimination, torture, inhumane and degrading treatment and extortion.

“Whereas COVID-19 has led to the death of about 11 patients to date (Wednesday), law enforcement agents have extrajudicially executed 18 persons to enforce the regulations.

“This speaks volumes of the protocols and rules of engagement for our law enforcement as well the efficiency level and capacity of law enforcement agents to deal with civil population,” Ojukwu added.

Food distribution to be handled by states
By Johnbosco Agbakwuru
THE Federal Government has said that people with over N5, 000 in their bank account will not benefit from the palliatives to cushion the effect of the lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.


The government also said that it will be using the mobile networks, to know people that top up the credit units for their phones with may be N100 or less.

Besides, the state governments will now be involved in the distribution of food items.

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Hajiya Sadiya Farouq stated this while briefing State House correspondents after meeting behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

I fear the Democrats may just re-instate the US dependence on China.
My fear too. Trump wants what's best for his country, you might disagree with his method though
HealthRe: China Approves Two Coronavirus Vaccines For Human Trials by stanech: 8:30am On Apr 15, 2020
AkeNathan:
This is the only reason the world will not like to queue behind China as the new world power.

Their government is certainly not open and transparent. Their system of government is very opaque and human rights are minimal.

We don't want to return to dark ages. Chinese may like it, the rest of the liberal leaning world may not.

China can as well become the manufacture hub of the world while US and her allies dictate international politics.

Although I have feelings that US will push their allies to find another country who can take up the manufacturing hub role since China is not reliable.

Thing is China is only the manufacturing hub because they have cheap cost of labour. Due to a billion population making labour and manufacturing very cheap, plus their government invest heavily on cost of labour, making labour and manufacturing of items very cheap for foreign nationals. Hard to find a socialist or capitalist country who can do that for US or for the world.

China's communism is just ideal for such

They fukkking hid a pandemic from the world for MONTHS!
You have said it better. But currently there is a movement that has started with Trump which is aimed at killing regulations and bringing businesses back to the US if it succeeds China will loose its highest customer in the world and it is downhill from there.

America must release a safe vaccine in the soonest time possible during this pandemic

If China releases a safe and effective vaccine ahead of them, USA can begin to kiss their global power rights good bye.

It is in time of great troubles, that leaders emerge.

When during World War 2, the world was devastated by Hitler, USA entered the show and downed Hitler, they subsequently became global power.

This is the third world war, it is not against humans but against an invincible virus, and China is promising.

Let us see where this will lead
I agree with this. Although the US won't go down without a fight. And China has bad human right record which will make it difficult to unite the world behind them

PoliticsThe Best Analysis On 5G by stanech(op): 8:43pm On Apr 09, 2020
In all the midst of conflicting theories, conspiracy and otherwise, here are a few things I have been able to gather.

These facts are verifiable:

1. America won the 4G war, and generated over $100 billion in GDP.

2. There was an intense race for 5G, a race which China has all but emerged victorious.

3. 5G is 20 times more powerful than 4G.

4. 5G has the capacity to generate 3 million jobs, and add $500 billion to GDP.

5. Most importantly, the nation that controls 5G, will control the world via information. Basically, 5G is the new nuclear button.

6. Donald Trump, on realising the US had lost, cancelled a contract with HUAWEI, Chinese tech giant, thereby stunting the progress of the technology in the West.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Something makes me feel the disinformation regarding 5G is about GLOBAL POWER.

I may be wrong.
----------------------------------------------------

My theory is;

The US may be buying time with which to develop their 5G and keep it at par with the Chinese.

The sad thing for them is........China is already working on 6G!!

And with the limitless access to funds, totalitarian nature of the Chinese state, and absence of political bickering, chances are the Chinese may attain 6G while the Americans are still at 4G.

Just like the way the USSR could simply no longer keep up the Super Power race in the late 80s when the gap became obvious, America may just face a technological reality where it is far behind, and the rest of the world cannot but queue up behind a new giant to progress.

What many do not know is America will not reign forever.

All through man's history, Empire dominance has been a story of "turn by turn", a story of "boom and burst".

Out of relative obscurity, an Empire, starting off on the right foot, and doing all the right things rises to contention, fights off adversaries and takes top spot, for a few decades, maybe even centuries, until the enthropy of our existence causes disruptions they cannot catch up with, leaving other contenders to displace them.
-----------------------------

The Egyptians started it. Then they fell into disrepair.

Then the Persians. Until Alexander the Great took it for the Greeks.

Then the Greeks became philosophers, losing their millitary prowess.

Then the interregnum.
-----

Then the Romans emerged from the ashes after shutting out its most potent contender, Carthage. Rome was to lead the longest stint in world dominance lasting centuries.

Like all stories in dominance, even Rome fell, but it took centuries. In fact some nations have not lasted as long as Rome fell.

Rome fell into disrepair over centuries, and had to be broken into two for efficient management, the West quartered in Rome, and the more influential East quartered in Constatinople.
------

The Western half of the empire fell into natural disrepair, the ashes of which several small empires would rise.

The more prosperous East would stay several more centuries before being destroyed by the Ottomans during the reign of Mehmet the conqueror.
--------------------------------------

The Ottomans would dominate undisputed for about three centuries.

By this time, the British, Portuguese and Spanish who did very well to avoid the Ottomans, had started sailing the world, with a mindset that would eventually spark off the industrial revolution, and furnish the British the weapon with which they would destroy the Ottomans a few decades later.

In any case, by the turn of the 1900s, the Ottoman Empire was already decaying.

They (the Ottomans) sided the wrong particpants in World War 1, and their subsequent defeat led the British and French to dissolve the empire for good.

Britain was now undisputed world power, but what many did not know, was that the events that would displace her from dominance, and place America as super power, were already underway.

America's large economy was one.

The second world war was another, and perhaps even shortened the process of transition of global dominance.
-------------------------------

With Europe in shambles after World War 2, it was only natural someone would take her place.

The Americans and Soviets fought for four decades for that spot.

You all know the rest of the story.
-----------------

The point of all this history?

1. Empires will come and go. Our existence as humans is infinitesimal compared to the total knowledge of our universe, so infinitesimal that no empire has all the knowledge required to stay on top forever.

Somewhere, there is some society that sees operations from an angle not seen by many, and that very vision will propel it to the top.

2. While one super power reigns, the very factors which brought it to success, will fail under internal contradictions.

3. While one super power reigns, the factors that will bring about the rise of another, are already underway.

If China does become super power tomorrow, it will not be because of only 5G.

So many factors at play, were probably already underway even before pundits started predicting China’s rise.
——————————

What we see today, regarding the USA, may be the last kicks of a dying horse.

When that horse will eventually give in, we don’t know.

They may yet tarry another decade, or buckle under next year, but even without China’s rise in the picture, the US has lost its leadership in many spheres of nationhood.

The only arsenal it has, it’s military, may be redundant in the next global fight for dominance, as the future wars may not have battlefields, and bullets may not be the ammunition.

Why will Democrats hope the drug will not work or even work? Science is not about hopes, it's about facts. Trump needs to show data that Hydroxychloroquine cures coronavirus. Once he does, the whole medical profession - Democrats and Republicans will accept it as fact, and start prescribing it to their patients.
Trump is reacting to advice from professionals that it does help although I fault him for being in a hurry.
