Mind you not all is paying tax in Nigeria, you can't compare taxes pay here with your own.. Reason to that

I am not saying everyone is paying tax, but rather you tax the people but don't want to return back to people. That's criminal.

Someone gave an example of how the Philippines government gave foodstuffs despite being a foreigner.

Why? Does he pay tax as a visitor? Does everyone in Philippines pay tax? No, yet the government provides for everyone.

That's a government that works not this piece of shit criminal govt

SharonLoveth:
Then you'll face the consequences, after God la government

Lol, face the consequences but yet you were shouting half bread is better than none.

Hypocrisy at it's peak.

If the excuse is half bread is better than nothing, then the government shouldn't complain when some people don't pay tax.

You can't collect from everyone without giving back to everyone in time of need

SharonLoveth:
Half bread is better than none

Hope we can say the same when the government wants to collect tax from everyone?

MelesZenawi:
Shut it.

Go fvck yourself bittch

SharonLoveth:
Must You Complain

You expect someone to be locked up at home for over 2weeks without any means of income or provision and you expect him/her not to complain?

Kiddo01:
As part of effort to cushion the effects of hunger and suffering as a result of the fight against Covid19 in Rivers State, the rivers state government has made provision for food items to be distributed to members of the public. Below is a picture of my own share of the palliative from Eneka, a town in Obio-Akpor local government area of Rivers State. Is this the food they promised to provide for us while we stay at home?
Have you received your own food, share pictures if any

How are we sure you didn't arrange this yourself and claim that it's Rivers State government that gave you?

Show us evidence that you were given this by the Rivers State government or else you are nothing but a cheap liar looking for publicity

Niger deltans and the Northerners have something in common, and that is dem no dey fear and are too aggressive.

See as dem pound that soldier sotey, e no see road again.

Hausas and Igbos and south South are having the highest on that list. are they the problem of country??
And this ones parents too will shout Buhari this,Buhari that.......,Jamb should employ ondo herbalist to set up an Auto-Thunder firing logistic just like it happened to those cows.
African science ni

If you looked closely, you will observe that the SS has almost as low numbers on the list as the SW.

The highest are SE and the North

Olodo! Why haven't you been celebrating your birthday one month earlier. Fool.
I see too many foolish people here on nairaland these days

My brother, the numbers of fo0lish people on niaraland is so high and increasing daily.

They annoying thing is that they are always the first to rush to give dumb answers/advise

korm2me:
Ahhh so let's say January 15th to any day in December makes a year? ....Bro January 15th to January 14th the following year makes a year. And only January 1st to December 31st makes a year.

Many of them don't know

carbon1224:
You need to learn don’t assume.calculate 365 days and you will have better understanding take your time.

18/04/2019-18/05/2019.....1month
18/05/2019-18/06/2019.....2months

Count like that, then see if you will get 12 months or 11 months.

It is common sense.

My landlord wanted to pull this dubious issh on me until we sat down to calculate.

femi4:
18/04/2019-18/05/2019.....1month
18/05/2019-18/06/2019.....2months

Count like that
.
.
.
18/02/2020-18/03/2020.......12months

If you used your own advise and did the counting, you will find out that it is 11 months not 12 months.

Too many ignoramuses on nairaland

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

Stop saying what you don't know. That is 11 months not 12 months..



@brownsugardr don't agree to the dubious landlord. Your rent is to expire in April not March..Also, if he wants you to move out, he must give you at least 6 months grace before you can be moved out.

Know your rights and get a lawyer ready should in case he wants to misbehave

President Buhari at this period of Coronavirus, (like other senior citizens) is the one more than any other Nigerian who needs a 21st century hospital at home where he can easily access medical treatment and scheduled follow up appointments. The whole world is literally locked down because of COVID-19. We are immobilized and frozen as it were - for now. President Buhari’s follow up appointment in London is overdue. He can’t travel to London because of COVID-19. His doctors in London cannot come to Abuja. Yes, he can access telemedicine. But there’s a limit that telemedicine can go. His follow up requires his being there physically

The million naira question is: Where will President Buhari receive the next medical check-up? If Buhari had built just one modern hospital in Abuja during his first term, he’ll have nothing to worry about his medical treatment today

Develop the country..No they refused..They kept on looting and looting and destroying the country...Now, nowhere to run..

The demonic politicians and their useless BMC crew will end up paying dearly for bringing this calamity upon Nigerians.

Nowhere to escape. No hiding place for the wicked!!

Buhari, as you lay your bed, so you will lay on it

Food for thought...Wonderful write-up

Where is lalasticlala sef

Reminder!!

Stay safe everyone and make sure you stock your house with food stuff

TheKingIsHere:
The NCDC has developed new guidance for people advised to stay in self-isolation:

SELF ISOLATION GUIDANCE FOR NIGERIA

Guidance for self-isolation in Nigeria

*Close contact: contact within one metre with a confirmed case
As Nigeria responds to an outbreak of COVI9-19, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control offers
this guidance for self-isolation.

WHAT DOES SELF-ISOLATION MEAN?

Self-isolation means strictly staying at home or identified accommodation, away from situations
where you mix with family members or the general public, for the period of 14 days. This
means any situation where you may come in close contact with others (face to face contact
closer than 2 metres i.e. 5 feet).
If you are unsure if you should be in self isolation, or if you do not know where you can go,
please contact NCDC for free on 080097000010

WHO SHOULD SELF-ISOLATE?

● All returning travelers from high risk countries with ongoing community transmission
● Anyone who has been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19
If you have not been in contact with someone who has been infected with COVID-19, your risk
of getting COVID-19 is very low.
This is a stressful period, but taking these measures will help protect you, your family, and all of Nigeria from COVID-19.

HOW WILL I MOVE FROM MY ARRIVAL POINT IN NIGERIA TO MY PLACE OF SELF-ISOLATION?

● If arriving the country, ensure that you are picked up by ONLY one person; you should
avoid use of public transport by plane, bus, train or car.
● Do not sit in the co-drivers’ seat (maintain at least 1 metre between yourself and the
driver)
● Ensure adequate ventilation throughout your trip
● Avoid contact with the driver
● You should not travel across states in Nigeria during the self-isolation period either by
plane, train, bus or car

How will I be monitored during self-isolation?

For travelers and contacts of confirmed cases, you are required to provide your name, next of
kin, physical address and telephone contact to the relevant health authorities. These details will
guide our surveillance teams in monitoring you while under self-isolation for 14 days.

On living with others

As much as possible, please stay in one room. You should limit your contact with people. You
should avoid having visitors to your home, but it is okay for friends, family or delivery drivers to
drop off food without having physical contact with you.
If you are in a home where the other residents have not travelled (e.g. your home / flat, student
accommodation), minimise close contact with the other residents by avoiding situations where
you may have face-to-face contact closer than 2 metres (5 feet). The other household residents
and or flat mates do not need to self-isolate provided these precautions are followed.
You should not share plates, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, pillows or other
items with other people in your home. After using these items, you should wash them
thoroughly with soap and water or place them in the dishwasher for cleaning.

What should I do for effective self-isolation?

If you are under self-isolation, you are advised to observe the following prevention and control
measures:
● Stay in a well-ventilated room away from other people such as family members with
separate hygiene and toilet facilities
● If you are working, ensure you work from home during the entire duration (14 days)
● Ensure that you have adequate food, water, hygiene provisions and appropriate medical
treatment for any existing medical conditions while in self-isolation
● Ensure that you have the necessary communication facilities e.g. mobile telephone to communicate with family members and other people while in self-isolation
● Always wash your hands with soap and water regularly or use an alcohol-based hand
rub
● Cover your nose and mouth with disposable tissue when coughing and sneezing. Throw
away used tissue into the dustbin or burn it and wash your hands immediately with soap
and water or an alcohol-based hand rub
● Stay away from pets as there is a chance that humans can pass the disease to them

● Avoid sharing toothbrushes, utensils, dishes, drinks, towels, clothes or bed linen with
anybody in your home
● Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs/handles, bedside
tables, bedframes and other bedroom furniture daily with regular household
disinfectant or soap
● Clean and disinfect bathroom and toilet surfaces at least once a day with regular
household disinfectant or soap
● If you develop any symptoms of acute respiratory infection, including fever, cough, sore
throat and difficulty in breathing, please call for immediate help on the NCDC toll free
line 0800 9700 0010

What happens if I do not comply with self-isolation?

If a person is suspected to have breached the guidelines, NCDC and the state surveillance teams will work closely with the individuals to ensure that they understand their obligations. They will also be helped to appreciate the importance and seriousness of self-isolation under the current global COVID-19 pandemic threat.

What should I do to keep my spirit up while in self-isolation?

Your emotional and mental health is important. Sometimes one could feel stressed or lonely
when under self-isolation:
● Talk to other members of the family about the COVID-19, understanding this disease will
reduce anxiety
● Reassure your young children using age-appropriate language
● Think about how you have coped with other difficult situations in the past and reassure
yourself.
● Keep in touch with family members and friend via telephone, emails or social media
● Stock plenty of materials to keep your mind occupied such as books, movies etc.
● Ensure you have a television, cable and internet connectivity in your room (this is
optional)
● Exercise regularly in your room
● Ensure that you drink at least 8 glasses of water every day to keep hydrated
● Eat all your meals in a timely manner
● Ensure you take adequate rest

What happens when I complete the 14 days of self-isolation?

If you are a contact of a confirmed case: After completion of the 14 days of self-isolation
without symptoms, the surveillance team will formally discharge you from follow up and you
will be free to go about your usual activities.
A certificate of completion of self-isolation will be issued to you by the surveillance team.

If during your 14-day self-isolation you develop symptoms of COVID- 19 such as:
● Cough
● High temperature (fever)
● Shortness of breath (or difficulty in breathing)
● Or general feeling of unwellness,
avoid self-medication rather contact NCDC Connect Centre immediately

God help us

Like i said, there is always good news...The Italian man who tested positive to the corona virus in Nigerian is now fully recovered, so don't lose hope.

Don't worry about the pain, it will subside as usual...that's why you have to be positive minded ( This is what I always tell y'all almost every time)

Just relax and follow previous advise

The daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, who returned from the United Kingdom (UK) on Wednesday, has gone into self-isolation.

First Lady, Hajia Aisha Buhari, revealed this in a thread of tweets on her verified Tweeter handle, @aishambuhari.

The First Lady clarified that her daughter’s self-isolation was not because she had displayed any symptom identifiable with Coronavirus (COVID-19), but a safeguard measure.

The First Lady, who used the tweets to encourage Nigerians to be self-conscious and avoid exposure to the spiraling pandemic, said she had already shut her office down for two weeks.

The tweets read: “Good afternoon Nigerians, early today (Thursday) my daughter returned from the UK being among the high burden-listed countries of COVID-19.
“Based on the advice of the Hon. Minister of Health , Presidential Task force on COVID – 19 and that of NCDC (National Center for Disease Control), she is on self Isolation, not because she displayed any symptoms of COVID-19..

“Please, I urge all parents to do the same if possible as prevention is better than cure .

“Similarly, I have shut down my office for two weeks with immediate effect while essential staff can work from home as a result of some staff who recently returned from the UK .

“I commend the Northwest governors, Niger and Kwara state governments on preventive measures taken to curb the spread of COVID-19 at their security meeting yesterday in Kaduna.

“Let’s keep following the advice of the Federal Ministry of Health and the NCDC, which encourages maintaining social distancing and high hygiene culture through regular washing of hands with soaps and sanitisers.

“Let’s adopt preventive measures and ensure the safety of our families and that of general public.

“We will overcome the Covid-19 pandemic if we all take the necessary precautions at the same time.”

I m suffering from ulcer and intestinal trait. So I get ill regularly. I m just scared that my immune system won't be able to withstand this thing.

I have good news for you.

Both ulcer and intestinal trait are NOT deadly ailments (unless in chronic/severe situations) neither do they reduce your immune system.

Just relax, eat healthy, exercise regularly, go for routine medical check up and think positively.

Twitter has suspended that my new account again and this time I can't reach them....

Create a new account and maybe reduce your daily retweets

Minemrys:
seriously, what's the point of making joker black?

Similar question was asked when WB was making Joaquin Phoenix joker

kunletexs:
Wow, osere, mathematician in the house.

Lol

pu7pl3:
It doesn't really sit well with me jare...besides there are many black superheroes to explore already

Minemrys:
c0me to think of it, is there any point making joker black seeing as his skin is bleached? A black joker is like having eddy murphy in clown make up.

A black joker will actually be badass imo.

fireboy just proved it with his costume. (I truly dig the red eye too)

Also, since they aren't fully making black superheroes yet, we can still settle for the race bending issh

Very important...@Hulk616 take note of the message below and think positive thoughts to keep your spirit up and high (Also, you don't have the virus but if you show any signs, call your doctor)

Stop this silly thinking...

Life is too sweet to commit suicide.

Also, since you are still young, you have a higher chance of surviving..Furthermore, avoid large crowd by distancing yourself from crowded events and activities

So, relax and think positive thoughts

If you were a strong DC fan, you won't be scared

The price of crude oil fell more than 50%, so why just a mere 10% reduction?
