What they mean is that he was not qualified to be chairman, that he resigned, but he is saying he was given a waiver.

Poloyanabo2:
But Apc is not known for obeying court orders.

codemaniacs:
the way Nigeria is structured, ethnic nations that control a state can never ever be relegated, igbos control at least 5 states, the states means indigenous government officials will always receive funds.

If government takes money away from Yoruba, the same government will still have to pay Yoruba government officials in all 6 states that the Yorubas control.

caleboxylic:
These our people "Innoson/Seplat/nest oil/ibeto/oil serve, Arthur Eze, Emeka offor and among others" should build Petrochemical refineries in Obehie, Anioma, Oba and owerri. These will enable us to have raw materials for production,improve our economy and reduce unemployment in igbo land.

We have recovered after 50 years.

#Think home.

God bless igbo land.
God bless Ndi Igbo.

contigiency:
No wonder we rarely have fuel scarcity again. Thank God. NNPC please continue importing the fuel until these people come to terms to stop creating hardship in the country through hurding of fuel and creating artificial scarcity. Or better still, until Dangote and other modular refineries start operations.

The severity of the symptoms depends on the amount of the virus one comes in contact with

apart from the thank you from you, the rest are not worth my response since they are irrelevant to salvation as you have agreed to

Who should we believe? It was just yesterday that NAFDAC DG, Prof. Adeyeye, said that there was no herbal mixture or organic cure to convid-19 presented to the Agency. She said all the tauted local mixtures for convid-19 were sensational talk. I believe someone is not saying the truth. We should ask Prof. Maurice Iwu if he had presented his herbal cure to the relevant agency for verification and testing.
There are guidelines for everything.

Kenkeye:
Oga Seun, I don't believe your observation is enough to convince that the current global distribution of COVID-19 is affected by temperature.

However, do not get me wrong, temperature may have a significant effect, and I could have agreed if your arguments are broad or multidimensional. You have treated temperature effect in isolation, while totally forgetting other likely contributing factors. What about the the pattern of diffusion of the carriers from the source (Wuhan/China) to other parts of the world? what about how the lifestyles of the people in each country have contributed to the number of victims? What about the timely/late response of different countries towards the prevention of the spread? what about the adherence to preventive measures in different countries? And what about other factors that one could think of?

I see the observation as too narrow and too weak to carry the weight of the conclusion.

Effect Of Temperature On COVID-19: An Unscientific Investigation.

In the early days of the Coronavirus scourge, many Nigerians believed that we wouldn't be affected because of our hot weather. Now that we're testing people, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of confirmed cases, to about 210, which is still quite low for a country with 190 million residents. However many people suspect that the virus has penetrated our society far more deeply than the NCDC statistics suggest. We've noticed that people who travelled to colder countries recently or spend most of their time in air-conditioned spaces, or their direct contacts, are massively over-represented among the confirmed cases. Is this because they are the only ones being tested, or is heat a factor?

Here is the list of the 10 countries that have the highest number of active COVID-19 cases, and their forecasted temperatures for the day:
* USA has 257,790 active cases. The temperature forecast for New York is 8°C - 15°C.
* Italy has 85,388 active cases. The temperature forecast for Rome is 7°C - 25°C.
* Spain has 77,488 active cases. The temperature forecast for Madrid is 6°C - 19°C
* Germany has 65,309 active cases. The temperature forecast for Berlin is 1°C - 12°C
* France has 61,650 active cases. The temperature forecast for Paris is 6°C - 17°C
* UK has 34,428 active cases. The temperature forecast for London is 4°C - 16°C
* Iran has 31,954 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tehran is 8°C - 19°C
* Turkey has 20,012 active cases. The temperature forecast for Istanbul is 8°C - 11°C
* Switzerland has 14,169 active cases. The temperature forecast for Geneva is 3°C - 17°C
* Netherlands has 13,986 active cases. The temperature forecast for Amsterdam is 4°C - 14°C

On average, the top ten countries with Coronavirus have a temperature forecast of 5.5 - 16.5°C. The temperature forecast for Lagos is 26°C - 34°C, and for Abuja, it's 24°C - 36°C. This is a massive, massive difference! The maximum temperature of nine of the countries above is lower than the minimum temperature of Lagos. The maximum temperature of 7 of those countries is lower than the minimum thermostat setting of most Nigerian air-conditioners (18°C).

The countries mentioned above are in Africa, Asia or Europe. What about Africa? Here's our top 5:
* South Africa has 1,401 active cases. The temperature forecast for Johannesburg is 9°C - 15°C.
* Algeria has 1,004 active cases. The temperature forecast for Algiers is 9°C - 17°C.
* Egypt has 703 active cases. The temperature forecast for Cairo is 24°C - 34°C.¹
* Tunisia has 472 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tunis is 8°C - 17°C.
* Burkina Faso has 236 active cases. The temperature forecast for Ouagadougou is 28°C - 43°C. ^1
1 The Egypt data is misleading because the their average temperature last month was 11.6°C to 26°C, but Burkina Faso is a legitimate outlier; the country is much hotter than Nigeria.

The above data, in spite of the outlier, is enough to convince me that the Coronavirus likes cold weather and probably spreads faster in cold places, such as air-conditioned cars, offices, and homes. This, apart from the lack of testing, may explain why we are yet to see as many cases of transmission outside the circles of travellers and the rich and powerful in Nigeria as expected. It is consistent with what we know about other respiratory illnesses, and why countries like the US expect the disease to slow down in their summer season (starting from June).

When I see videos of Lagos officials spraying open areas e.g. roads & sidewalks in Lagos, I have to laugh, because I strongly suspect that, if they actually bothered to test for the presence of the virus on those surfaces, they'd find nothing at all because the sun already sterilized them.

Knowing that the virus hates our hot temperature gives me hope. If a cold country like South Korea (0°C -13°C forecast for today) could beat the virus without destroying their economy by imposing a total lockdown, a constantly hot country like Nigeria could do much better if we used the same tactics. We need to start testing people who have had close contact with confirmed cases before they show symptoms. We also need to enforce universal wearing of face-masks and social distancing everywhere, which in itself may even be sufficient to end the virus.

May your days be bright and hot. May your air-conditioners be off and your windows wide open (to get rid of aerosolized droplets). Cheers.

Chukwurah003:
That’s why healthy young doctors and nurses are dying. Because they are exposed to huge loads of the virus. The load of the virus you come in contact with is a big factor in how severe the symptoms will be.

I thought they claimed that old people immune system can't fight the virus as it has grown weak?

Shout to the real soldiers at the war front all over the world defending humanity.

Ganduje belongs to Tinubu camp

US will pay dearly for this folly. Killing a government official OPENLY (Not in a war theatre) and admitting to it, is the most foolish thing that has been done since world warII.

What Trump had effectively done by Killing Soleimani is that he has established that in this war of attrition between nations killing foreign diplomats is a fair game.

I repeat, going after a diplomat and killing him publicly is a no-no and I believe the US will regret this action, and this may hurt trumps chance of reelection. Iran is no pushover!!

When Vanguard cooked up the story of Oyedepo opening the gate of hell which was later refuted and retracted, I doubt they even punished the person responsible for it.

That was how Mfonobong carried a story of how Oyedepo owns 4 jets and Forbes carried it. I don't know how any Nigerian should belief a person would buy 4 jets lol. Even the wealthiest people on Earth don't use four jets.

I know Ibeyeomie wouldn't take this kind of rubbish.

Oyedepo should go and beg on his behalf cos even Jesus our lord forgives.. ..

Witchersunited:
Lie against a pastor suspension


Lie against the president, you are promoted


All these feeds into the ego of oyedepo, last last his time will come and he will die, chapter closed, history wouldn't remember him, given the way his church is, there will be crises to choose a new leader, church will end up like church of God mission.

This is unbelievable!!!! In the history of FIRS till date, Tunde Fowler deployed innovative ideas and measures which ultimately generated trillion of naira during his tenure as the chairman of FIRS and this was commended and confirmed by the Presidency itself. Let's see how much the "favoured candidate" would generate. This country sha

If not for politics, someone like wike cant seat close to a GOC not to even talk of talking like an urchin about one. Only the Comander In chief has such authority to summon a commander for questioning or levying an allegation on him, But as Nigeria is Banana republic and the Rascal Governors have Imuinity from prosecution, the can defame or assasinate a Generals character and go scott free.

why cant a lawyer like wike approach the aporpraite authority instead of this noise making, when the GOC accussed Wike of offering him bribe, he made available the audio conversation to back his claims

just imagine a Commander from Rivers state posted to Kaduna been lambasted by El Rufai and even been accused without evidence or proof ,

and to the barbarians Qouting me up and down
