RemoveKebab:
Why can't FG just allow states or regions to generate their own power and the rest will be shared to national grid for export.
?

adedayourt:
What I can understand is that the govt is trying to throw the market open and discontinue the monopolistic ownership of those rights

They on the other hand don't wanna loose any part of the right to keep all income flowing to their hands only.

ajl:
What investors? Lazy Nigerians that need a white man to come and invest and develop his own industry. You folks can't do anything for yourselves.

EleventhWeirdo:
tribalism is a subtle bias, compared to racism, which may even include extinction threats.


The US is the epicenter of globalism, so whatever happens there calls for concerns in other parts of the world. A good one from the UK.

jaeyking:
issue is that most people haven't been to the North but feed on the bad tales been told of the north.
yes the north has its shortcomings.
but with that aside it's the best part of Nigeria.

coming from An Edo born and Eastern lived dude

jaeyking:
well I Ave stayed in the north from Zamfara, Kaduna, Plateau, Nassarwa, Sokoto, Katsina for more than 22yrs.
you have no knowledge of the north.
they accept the Christmas or Easter food with small chops.
because it's just food to them thats eaten to sustain hunger.
no special ties to it

if you don't know something abt something don't speak ill of it.

I guess you Ave never stayed in the North

Awarah:
some educated idiots are here speaking big big grammar just to make us believe that covid19 is not a business virture in naija.
u don lie wellah mr big idiot. in other foreign countries we see video of covid19 patients dying and some are struggling for life. you see it as it is. but here in naija what do u see？ u only see ncdc records, u only c covid19 brieffing， u c lockdown, u only c politics of billion been spent, u only c governors solving mathematics to get money as the answer through covid19 been present in d state. Abeggi, we no covid is real but u c naija own, is so fake that d sun can't think of helping us, is so political that we almost every patients are asymptomatic. i love this country cuz are tired of the deceit of our government. i c our economy already in bad condition, i c looters account so fat n big now. masses arr crying, students are not function, people are at home doing almost nothing. Nigeria is a zool.

Edopesin:
They're way more differences than similarities between the languages, if they had a common origin the reverse would be the case like the Auchi's, Esan, Ayogwiri and benins

Edopesin:
the historical link is more due to their trading together

There is no free lunch on this earth. If you are given a free lunch then you are the product (IT parlance ). Cheers

Ebola is as contiguous as COVID-19 even not more ( you can be infect through body contact)


This is a fallacy, It does not follow.



Is other words COVID-19 mortality rate is as a result of the underlying causes.

iknowwhoiam:
The issue is not infection rate, but mortality rate, Ebola, Malaria, have high mortality rate than COVID-19, yet there is no successful cure for either.
There are many documented cases of people over 60 years who survived COVID-19. E.g. Prince Charles. The main thing just as you wrote 'Same for people who have underlying conditions or whose immunity is compromised."

iknowwhoiam:
My brother/Sister, I really care, i rather get COVID-19 than take any vaccine from bill gate.

iknowwhoiam:
We are on the same page, if the drugs (Madagascar drug, IWU/Orji drug, remdesivir , HCQ + Zinc + Vitamin D + C) can reduce the mortality rate, that is great. That is what we want. If this is the case, then why the panic across the world?, If this is the case, then there is actually no need for the vaccine. Malaria (in Africa) and flu ( in the west) is even more deadlier than COVID-19. So why the fuss?

ceejayluv:
Considering that the disease has a survival rate of over 90 percent, one needs to test it on thousands of patients before we can determine efficacy.

The remdesivir drug was tested on over 2000 people in the USA before they realised that it dropped the death rate by 30 percent. And they still haven't claimed it's a cure.

iknowwhoiam:
From your logic, if the drug can cure 2% of the test case (which is very very good - it is better than nothing) and 98% do not need drug/vaccine to recover, then why are you waiting for salvation a la - bill gates vaccine?

ceejayluv:
The Madagascar herb is a well known malaria medicine and widely Used malaria therapy. It doesn't need animal testing in My opinion. What it needs is large scale human clinical trials as it's already being done by distributing it to other countries. Madagascar does not have enough cases to confirm it's efficacy

iknowwhoiam:
On the bold, why not give him the opportunity to prove his case, Did Madagascar went through those 'Animal, clinical "trials, yet their (President) government stood solidly behind the researchers. Guess what, the drug seems to cure the virus to the extent of sending it to Nigeria.

We have the resources in Nigeria that can dig us out of this quagmire, yet people seems not be interested in the cure, rather in $.

Trailblazer1:
I am beginning to think this is all shades of tribal bigotry


Innoson indicated interest to produce ventilators FG ignored.


Iwu produce the drug that could cure the dreaded virus, FG ignored

mrvitalis:
It's a petrochemical company ...located near port Harcourt refinary ....Oga there is no money ins refining Petro ...that's why it's most government project

mamaafrik:
except indorama react smartly and build a refinery to enjoy whatsoever policies the government will be bringing to fore to help dangote(and his cohort politicians who contributedmoney to the project) ,i see government hurting their market by banning importation of their raw chemicals to cripple them or force them to run to Dangote for material supply

mrvitalis:
Lol I'm just wondering how dangote would compete with andorama port Harcourt

Refining of crude is not a every profitable venture at all ...unless u vertically integrate ...refine n sale at your own filling stations ...outside that it's not profitable at all

Petrochemical is where the real money is ...and we have a giant there already ...eleme Petro chemicals run by Indians ....unless government kills eleme dangote won't see Jack in this industry

Dangote has never done well in any industry he has competition at all

Maybe he would use government to get crude below cost price ...but that's not sustainable

ExpIorers:
Ventilator is the last options in case the patient's condition get worsened.
At least with ventilators the patient's life will be 50-50

Ventilators are for people who can no longer breath on their own.

teadrake:
While that is currently being investigated, we have little window of opportunity here sir. In your own view, has this lockdown achieved its intended objective?? Thousands already carrying the virus and are actively transmitting the virus as soon as government relax the curfew/lockdown via markets as you've observed across some States. When they transmit to others, they'll go home and stay indoor for days, this ultimately increase the virulence factors of the virus upon subsequent relaxation of lockdown. Instead, perhaps, if herd immunity is being considered, the virus cannot maintain absolute exponential value in the midst of a continues population on daily basis. Eventually it will die down and immunity will start to develop. But for herd immunity to be activated, 50% of the population will have to be infected and the people at higher risk pose a difficult imminent danger. That is my other concern

costandi:
And, this is the only sensible reply of all the 31 comments on the first page of this comment section.
So sad to know that many Nigerians are dumb but quick to make comments about everything.

Openbusiness:
