Why won't they beg Elon Musk? Bayero's production cannot meet demand if the Coronavirus cases spike.

The point of his tweet is that Bayero Uni did not seek FG's intervention before starting production.

Agboriotejoye:
This bashir Ahmad is a total idiot. Since Bayero University is producing, why then did he beg Elon for respirators we can't get and can't work for us? That shows the problem with them in dis govt. They're so incompetent, they don't know when they contradict themselves.

Dangote is but one out of many. We know the special privileges he has been getting. Plus his businesses are much larger than Innoson.

We don't know what is going on between the FG and Innoson. You are better than this.

PHIPEX:
Did FG ask Dangote to refine some litres of fuel first before he got govt backing to build refinery? Govt should always support critical sectors, that's how countries grow not by begging.

Quite a dumb reply. Why is he reacting to bigots? Now that he has joined Innoson, he must he happy with his silly reply.

keeping yourself busy is not the same thing as beating boredom.

Like your almighty dumbass knew the difference between armed robbery and theft!

I wasn't the idiot who pointed to the law for direction. The same law that would jail the issiter and the perpetrator!!!

crackkhaus:
Fvck off...

Who are you and what are your qualifications to tell me to read up on anything...and where exactly did I mention the law is perfect?

You must be an intellectual goblin.

Armed-robbery is not theft... It's ballet dancing

Mumu.

Armed robbery involves use of force or violence
Theft doesn't

Now read up on history of rape laws and ask yourself how can you be so foolish to think the law is perfect?!
It seems like you get a hard-on on supporting violence and bad behaviour agaisnt women. Silly!

crackkhaus:
And robbery is not theft..

Dumbo...

Stop being clever by half! You compared theft with rape not armed robbery. I really do not have time to school about history of rape and sexual assault laws.

Rape apologist oshi!

crackkhaus:
Take your faux sense of morality to the courts and ask them why rapists don't get as much prison time as armed-robbers.

People commit suicide when they lose money to thieves, yet you're here blabbing about severity.

Take several seats please.

Their degree and severity of harm differs. This one is between an innocent child and a grown adult.

You are extremely ridiculous to think theft and rape are comparable. It didn't start today.

crackkhaus:
Both are crimes and should be reported to the authorities, end of story.

In Nigeria, thieves sometimes get life sentences or even capital punishment, yet rapists don't get as much.

Let your morality judge that.

Do you mean theft and rape are same?

crackkhaus:
Of course, the he-goat would be doing frog jumps inside a 4X4ft cell by now nah..
This is where self-interest comes into play, something every human is cursed with .

It's the same reason your neighbour's child can steal money from your handbag and you will summon all who care to listen to come judge the matter, but of your own child does the exact same thing, you will reprimand him in private instead of embarrassing him in public.

Self-interest, everyone is guilty of it.
Ain't no angels walking around on earth.

Talk is cheap but there are parents and relatives who do and they don't have two heads!

roseb1:
And if the rapist in question happens to be ur son( God forbid) u wont hesitate to bring his head on the chopboard. U think it is that easy. Talk is really cheap

Not a good choice of music at all

His story is very curious.

Explorers:
Immediately you and the policemen took off, the bomb exploded.


My question to you is, how did you guys out run the shock waves that destroyed those building and everything in path like over 100meters away in radius

We have several schools of thoughts. And the practice of Islam differs depending on a lot of factors. Muslims may consider Saudi Arabia but it is not enough to follow them blindly.

GeoAfrikana:
You have a point. But don't forget that Saudi has the highest number of World Class Islamic scholars in the world. They spend unspeakable amounts on building Islamic scholars.

Most of the big scholars we have in Africa, Europe and North America are products of Saudi University.

It's like saying America is not a model for the world in tech and innovation. Even you will know deep in your heart that you're telling a lie if you say that.

Leave politics aside, give credit to whom it's due. When it comes to pristine Islam, there's no match for Saudi scholars in the world.

It is actually Israel. For example we love Nethanyahu. We welcome his wisdom.

dyfaze:
What's this one saying.. If Saudi is not the model for Muslim, Is it Rome or Israel?. I'm not sure you're a Muslim.

It is Mecca and Medina that are important to Muslims because of the significance attached to them. Saudi Arabia is not a model for Islamic countries or for all Muslims. Some may look up to them SOMETIMES and there are many more who don't.

3kay945:
What do you mean by your first paragraph if I may ask?

Just curious ni o.

It is Saudi and will always be. It is like a village home to every Muslim on Earth.

Saudi is not the model for Muslims and they cant possibly dictate how to be a Muslim.

They did a stupid and reckless thing. It is on them and we hope they arrested the leaders in charge.

Onlinealaba:
Nobody is above the law, Saudi that shut Kaaba knows what they were doing..stay at home and let's pray these pandemic pass and all religious activities can resume fully, you can't be more Catholic that the pope. Peace

Don't call them or go to the hospital unless by the 7th day you are not getting any better. We don't have the resources to test everyone.

Many infected people are going to get better on their own without any medical help.

Emescot:
I can read what is going on but i can't read what you just wrote up there

.

We know

How do you people come up with this silly nonsense you go about saying?

Grace001:
No go to Kaaba to pray jumaah, even your holy land Saudi is infected with the virus 1,012 cases recorded so far.

Your holy land is taking precautions not to have the virus spread. Kaaba is on lock down.

You can’t be more Muslim that people of Saudi. So pray in your house


Over religious people full of hypocrites, unGodly people but carry religion for head

Many of us might get Coronavirus and very good number of us are going to be fine without any needing medical intervention or medication.
For this reason we need to protect those of us who are at risk of developing complications and possibly death, we don't know ourselves. The following are steps to take to prevent and limit the spread of Coronavirus


1) Self isolate yourself: if you are from a high risk country or state, isolate yourself for a minimum of 14 DAYS.

If you aren't but you have started experiencing the symptoms of Coronavirus, isolate yourself for 7 DAYS or until your high temperature and cough have passed. It is advisable to disinfect your surroundings!

If you might have been in contact with a confirmed case, self isolate for a minimum of 14 DAYS

If you are awaiting a test result, self isolate for 14 days

About 80% of those infected would experience nothing more than mild symptoms and get well after 7days.

Stay informed and access credible to guide you when your symptoms have gone from bad to 'I need medical intervention!'


https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ac-timeline-coronavirus-symptoms.jpg

Seek help by the 7th day!


2) Contact tracing: contact those around you or those you have mingled with to self-isolate themselves for 14 DAYS to be certain that they are not infected and cannot spread the infection. Once they start showing symptoms, they should continue self-isolation for another 7 days (please see above)


Some of us are going to be asymptomatic that is we will not show signs and symptoms of the infection but we can spread the infection. Please, lets self-isolate for 14 days


3) Identify the risk factors: The demographics at risks are the aged, the smokers, the asthmatic, people with pre-existing conditions, immunosupressed people like sickle cell carriers and our medical personnel. These people can develop complications and a good number of them in might die if we are not careful. Yes, there are reported cases of healthy, fit and young people who have died. Do not be complacent because you think you are young, fit and healthy.

These people are going to form the majority of those who will need medical intervention. When you think of the medical resources that are needed to get a lot of them better, you will realise that we do not have these resources. Take a closer look at the mortality rate in other developed countries and now compare them with Nigeria with less than 90% of these medical resources. We are going to struggle. The numbers are not good for us but it can be the worst so far, all we need are a handful of irresponsible individuals. Please don't be a Covidiot!

The more the infection spreads, the increase in the number of population that will require medical intervention that WILL get because we don't have enough doctors, nurses, masks, ventilators etc. Also, think of our medical personnel and their families. Nigerian medical personnel do not earn enough to be putting themselves through this hazard.


4) DO NOT CONTACT NCDC or GO TO YOUR HOSPITAL- unless your condition has gone from bad to worse. Please do not request for medical help. The more people that do, the less people who need help get the desired help. You will end up using your selfishness and ignorance to deny others of the necessary attention.

5) Build your immunity: this is the time to eat less rice, bread and sweets. Eat more fruits and vegetables.


Above all, keep to the basic prevention tips and educate everyone around you. It is par of your civic duty!







Because we are Nigerians. Our best bet are still:

1) Soap and water: wash your hands for at least 20secs or sing happy birthday while you are it. Soap is cheap and water can be easily found. Check online on how to wash your hands well.

2) Social distancing: At least 6ft. Do not go out when you don't need to even when social distancing would be practiced. You don't need church or mosque or school. The virus can be in the air for hours and can attach itself to surfaces so you might still get infected even if you are not close to anyone.

3) Don't travel home or entertain social visits of more than one person: sit your fine ass home. If your travelling is not a choice, self isolate when you get to your destination!

4) Mask and Gloves: Avoid using your unwashed hands to touch your personal effects of face. You can change gloves for that. You don't need to go out or bring out your phone, bag etc if you dont need to.

It should have been 'don't be extreme'

Attention seeker

6ft is the recommended distance. Did you keep that? It is great you took some measures anyways. However, the best thing is to keep away. There are online church services you can watch and listen to.

Roon9:
No ma, we were less than 30 at the service and we all kept a reasonable distance

The ones that have sense with educated leaders have decider to follow common sense. As for the obstinate others, they are lucky their county is not capable of throwing them in jail.

Emmanuel226:
will u pls just shut up.
How many mosques wey Don close or limit their numbers since den??

Is it Christianlike to put other people's lives at risk?

Roon9:
Lols! I'm in church already bro. If you had half a brain you'd have known the directive is from the government. Moreso oga we enjoy submitting our 10% or even 100% to our pastors. I seriously wonder how it concerns your sorry life. You go about this space sounding like a broken record all to what end? Get a life bro!

More Christians on Nairaland than Muslims. Also, no one asked this question on Friday.

Lostz:
we didn't see this type of thread on Friday.

are Christians the only one gathering for religious purposes in this country?

Is God a building? Is it not sinful to put lives including Christian lives at risk?
