But why all these effort just to lie?

Or maybe the guy is just telling the truth.

I know this is like going against the popular opinion here, but I think his account is believable. The two possible options are either it's a bomb/explosive or a meteorite. Eyewitness accounts points more towards it being a bomb. Also, there is no motive for Government to cover up a meteorite hit as it is purely an Act of Nature which is no fault of any Govt. On the contrary, it will be a cover up where the Govt is claiming it's a meteorite hit when it's in fact an explosion.

The driver's survival is perfectly explainable. The shockwaves generated by an explosion typically has a more devastating effect on nearby buildings and anything rooted in the soil than people within similar distance. The reason is because buildings are rigid and firmly established in the ground. They are not flexible, so to accommodate the shock waves, they crack and may even collapse. Humans can move or be thrown away by the impact of the waves which may not necessarily result in death.

The same principle applies during severe earthquakes where the loss of lives is usually from the collapsing buildings. Humans who are in open spaces during such earthquakes have a greater chance of survival than those inside buildings.

Like someone allegedly witnessed, if the truck parts were flung up to nearby houses, this is also a corroborating evidence for the truck bomb explosion

People, citizens of the world, please don't panic. Mother earth know how to weed, prune and rejuvenate it's self.

Once again at this point in history, Mother Nature is at it again. There is way too much human beings on planet earth. For those of us that will survive, we will come out stronger.

You sound like the Nazis. This is their ideology (Eugenics), to purge the human race of "weaklings".

That's no compliment.

In one of the pictures posted by Explorers, the newspaper then reported that it appeared that the flu was not affecting black people significantly, which is exactly the same sentiments being bandied about Covid 19 a hundred and two years later.

The only thing is that millions of black people eventually succumbed to death from the Spanish Flu! This is a warning to us right now.

With the way Barcelona fans keep shouting 'Bale, Bale', one would think he's assisted Ronaldo 100 times , not knowing him and Neymar are on the same assists to a particular player

Now look at benzemiss ... I'm surprised even Suarez had assisted Messi more than he did Ronaldo... Perhaps if Suarez didn't pass to Messi, he would have won ballondor or European best

Even see Marcelo assists is not as much as Dani Alves

Do you realize you are doing CR7 more of a disservice here with this your ill-fated comparison??

What the statistics you pulled out demonstrates is that Messi is a better goal scorer than Ronaldo.

If Messi has scored more goals from open play than CR7, it is a no brainer that someone must have passed the ball to him initially as he couldn't have received the ball in a vacuum. Hence, it is only logical that he would have been "assisted" more, since he had more non-penalty goals. Nobody assists a penalty lol.

Obviously, Messi has been assisted more than Lewandowski, than Aguero, than Ibrahimovic. Thank you for also pointing out that of CR7 to us. We can all agree that Messi has been a better goal scorer than all these guys.

Worthy of note is that several of these so called assists were harmless passes given to Messi 45 yards away from the goal. Ponder on that.

Messi is the most assisted player, he's also the player with the most assists. Isn't that wonderful

DirtyGold:
As I've said before, I still don't understand what the deal is about this covid19 bullshit though...
How can a chinese flu with very low mortality rate ground almost all sectors of a civilized world?

Imagine this quote for America alone: "The CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 22,000 deaths, 36 million flu illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations. The 2019-2020 influenza outbreak is moderate to low in ..." Yet, not even a single county has been locked down in America due to flu (which is a yearly thing by the way)! But coronavirus showed up and everywhere scattered

What's tha business?

The answer to your question lies within the very information you have provided in your post.

Without any control/lockdown measures put in place, the flu infected about 36 million people and caused about 22,000 casualties abi?

If no lockdown was introduced for COVID, it is estimated that it will infect over 120million Americans which is way higher than flu. Assuming that it even only infects the same 36million persons as the normal flu did, with the supposedly low COVID death rate of about 2 percent on average in the US, that will translate to about 720,000 deaths which you will agree that is significantly higher than 22,000 death caused by the normal flu. THAT IS THE BIG DEAL.

In reality, if left unchecked without any lockdown measures, the White house estimates about 1million - 2.5million deaths in America due to COVID which is definitely a big threat to the survival of the American society or any society for that matter.

If you have covid19 your fever won't be low grade. People aren't using infrared thermometers for checking room temp fever.

The loss of sense of taste is a strong indication of COVID 19 symptoms. He may likely have it as he is in the UK too. However, I believe he'll be fine.

SharpJoe:
I am not saying it is not in order. However, priority. The speech today is a first line of action. Not relief.

You know, if he is a leader who addresses the people daily or at least 3 times a week, that can come later.

Today, we need the basics handled. Testing, Isolation, treatment, food supply chain, medical supply chain, kits for health workers, medicine. Innovative means of stopping immediate spread

When these pick up, he can talk of palliatives.

But first, the above require humongous amount of money when it concerns protecting the lives of millions of people. School feeding and loans is not a priority when he has not calculated how much it will cost to set up multiple testing centres across the country and isolation procedures.

If you imagine how much it will cost to test across the Nation in the coming days, you will understand the gravity.

I disagree with you on the above, economic palliatives are also priority at this time as financial obligations are currently under strain i.e repayments are falling due as we speak. How long do you think it takes a business to crumble in the absence of cashflows?

My point is that both issues should be addressed simultaneously, not one at the detriment of the other. Even, the UK and the US had first announced several economic palliative measures before they significantly ramped up their frequency of testing.

What I agree with you on is that Buhari's speech didn't address the disease containment plans adequately at all. I suspect that this is because of a lack of coordination with NCDC for the know-how on the medical technicalities by his team.

SharpJoe:
Just listened to a pile of Crap from the President. No talk about improved testing. Instead he is talking of children feeding. No talk about safety kits for the citizens. Instead he is talking about loans.

Loans for which business that are in lockdown?

What Nigeria needs is testing kits to know the magnitude of spread. Then isolate those who test positive and treat them.

Please someone should inform the President that the first line of defence against the virus is not social distancing but widespread tests.

I would assume you are the goodjoehunt and I know your comments to be very analytical and on point. However, on this one, it is a bit less so.

While I agree with you on the urgency for improved testing, what Buhari said about providing palliatives for loans obtained by businesses under lockdown is equally important.

The economic recession that will be caused by COVID 19 can also lead to hundreds of thousands of death in a country like Nigeria. Many SMEs are funded by loan financing and the monthly interest payment obligations in the absence of revenue is a business killer. Hence, providing them with a moratorium (suspension of repayments) is perfectly in order. A lot of other countries have done the same.

Heck, the German Finance Minister committed suicide cos of the looming economic recession, so don't downplay this kind of intervention.

MYHUBBY:
Akeredolu shouldn't allow his education to waste away this useless and imbecilic press. even[b] if you want the sane minds like me to believe is not bomb[/b], those that made these explosive detonate have they been arrested already? will people house and lives got away just like that ?



someone must pay for this recklessness/war drum

Is an explosive not a bomb? The Governor just confirmed it's a bomb and you re saying if they want you to believe it's not a bomb.

Bigleaf1006:
Why are they not giving us the case history of the new ones they claim to have. Everything about this matter for naija nah either scam or overzealousness of the officials or deliberately creating panic.

As the number of cases increase exponentially, it becomes more difficult to present a comprehensive case history like they previously did with a lower number of cases. In countries like Egypt, South Africa and others that have several hundreds or thousands of cases, they don't publicize the case histories anymore.

But the history will still have been documented in the WHO report for the individual patients.

Bigleaf1006:
Do you Know that the more confirmed cases they claim the more money they get,do u know that monies released for emergencies are hardly accounted for,do u know that asides government money released there is still a lot from private sector and multi Nationals.

Guy this nah big opportunity for those guys to hammer. Both federal and state

You better do away with your pseudo-intelligent conspiracy theories, cos you are sounding profoundly ignorant. You still think a disease that has killed over 25,000 people globally is a scam (confirmed from videos and persons affected)??

What in your mind makes you think that Nigeria immune to COVID when it's ravaging several hundreds of countries?? If we are not immune, then it's logical that there will be cases in Nigeria. How you think the existence of COVID cases in Nigeria is not justifiable is turning logic upside down.

You think its business as usual? So if the Gov't wants to use COVID to siphon money, it will now be its top echelon i.e Abba Kyari, Governors and possibly the President himself that will be the guinea pigs Really So the executives have to put their life on the line to satisfy the financial greed of some subordinates

Overthinking can dull the brain o.. confirm

WriterNig:
Wrong ❌ ❌

You are the wrong one. As at that time he quoted you, the US already had about 100,000 cases. Check worldometer/coronavirus live statistics

Must everything that comes from China be fake? They even sold 640,000 fake test kits to Spain!

vanunu:
Something must be responsible for the figures that they are giving, it tallies with other sub Saharan African countries. Egypt and south African figures differ considerably.

It doesn't tally with Ghana and Senegal's own o. Both have almost 150 cases each, and recorded their index case much later than Nigeria.

God, These Iranians are so daft. Scoring own goal after own goal after own goal. I'm sure Buhari will be their most intelligent leader if he was their President.

Imagine:

- Shooting down your own people in an aircraft
- Drinking industrial alcohol to cure Co-Vid, even when it is public knowledge that alcohol weakens the immune system. Even the so called illiterate Nigerians are smart enough to avoid alcohol and go after dogoyaro!
- Threatening the US to lift sanctions on them, saying the US introduced Co-Vid to destroy Iran. To be clear, the US has over 50,000 more Co-Vid cases than Iran.

Lalasticlala sir

ignis:
The German president must have the Buhari mentality .

Which Buhari mentality? Germany has the best COVID-19 management system in the entire world. Despite having over 50,000 cases it has recorded only 198 deaths. The statistics in Germany is the truest reflection of Co-vid 19 status in a country globally as it has ramped up its testing capacity up to 500,000 tests per week while Nigeria is even yet to conduct up to 1,000 tests for over a month now.. How dare you compare Nigeria's handling of Co-vid to such level of effectiveness??

Reference:
Technically no. If your immune system is not compromised it produces antibodies, that is special proteins that help fight the virus, in large enough quantities and warehoudwarehouseses them for future defence.

It will interest you to note that clinical trials have begun using the serum of those recoveted ftom the disease to see whether their antibodies could fight off the virus in sick patients. So if you recover your blood could be worth more than gold.... in theory.

However there is a caveat. If the virus mutates rapidly, ie presents as a moving target or fights guerilla warfare like the HIV, then antibody clinical regimes become ineffective.

This is wrong. There are confirmed reports of recovered people being reinfected in China and Italy.

Mizwisdom:
You seem pained and disappointed that the virus isn't spreading as you hoped,
I usually won't respond to posts from people who seem daft but let me advice you if you suspect that you've got infected with the virus go to any of their centres and get yourself tested but you must be showing symptoms of the disease since kits are limited. Good luck

You are extremely dumb to think the virus isn't spreading already, just because people are yet to show symptoms, given that the incubation period is up to two weeks. Even when you yourself admitted to showing symptoms before you get tested, meaning that it would already be in people's system before they show symptoms.

Why is Nigeria having limited kits and SA and Ghana aren't? Isn't that an indicator of our incompetence??

Jeez, arguing with you is lowering my IQ already.

Mizwisdom:
Rumour monger, we have conducted over 700 tests, confirm from NCDC website



https://ncdc.gov.ng/diseases/sitreps/?cat=14&name=An%20update%20of%20COVID-19%20outbreak%20in%20Nigeria

A measly 700?? since the Italian man tested positive about ONE MONTH ago? South Africa that recorded its first case much after 9ja has tested over 16,000 persons. Ghana, our next door neighbours, that we like to brag over, have tested several thousands. And you are here jumping up over 700??

It's official. U re an irredeemable dunce!

Tpharell:
I cannot fathom the unbelievable level of ignorance on display here too. This is simply mind boggling that people think Nigeria has the pandemic under control.
To put thinks in context, people should try expressing the number that tested positive as percentage of total tests carried out. Maybe that will give a better perspective of the magnitude of what lies ahead.

That's Nigeria for you. Everything imaginable thing gets twisted up into a political issue. Those comparing the Ebola regime and Covid are also misguided as the manner of dealing with both are different.

Mizwisdom:
They are sadists who want the number of Corona virus infection to spread. It will give them joy to see Africa begging the world for help to manage the epidemic. SADISTIC human beings

You are displaying unbelievable ignorance with your statement above, like a madman dancing in full display at the market square. Let me ask you a question, Is it the perception that we are managing it well that really matters or knowledge of the actual extent of the plague so that we can do proper disease control?

The WHO chief has repeatedly stressed that countries need to test and test people continuously. Ghana, our neighbor discovered 40 new cases yesterday from increased level of testing. South Korea, Spain, US and Germany all do over 10,000 tests every day. South Africa has tested over 15,000 persons out of whom 709 are positive.

It is extremely unacceptable and irresponsible that Nigeria has conducted less than 200 tests! for such a disease that is highly contagious. That in itself is putting the general populace at risk of more infections, because many people will think it is not yet serious and not take the necessary precautions!

There is nothing patriotic about misleading the public to create a false perception in the international community.

I hope you have a rethink.

*WELL PLAYED CHINA....*
*SCENE 1
The curtain opens: China becomes ill, enters a "crisis" and paralyzes its trade. The curtain closes.
*SCENE II.*
The curtain opens: The Chinese currency is devalued. They do not do anything. The curtain closes.
*SCENE III.*
The curtain opens:: Due to the lack of trade of companies from Europe and the USA that are based in China, their shares fall 40% of their value.
*SCENE IV.*
The curtain opens:: The world is ill, China buys 30% of the shares of companies in Europe and the US at a very low price. The curtain closes.
*SCENE V.*
The curtain opens: China has controlled the disease and owns companies in Europe and the US. And he decides that these companies stay in China and earn $ 20,000Billions. The curtain closes. How is the play called?
*SCENE VI:*
*Checkmate!*
*ReAmazing but true*
Two videos have passed between yesterday and today that convinced me of something I suspected, but had no basis. It was just my speculation. Now I am convinced that the coronavirus was purposely propagated by the Chinese themselves.
At first they were too prepared. Three weeks after the start of the roll, 14 days and a 12,000-bed hospitals were already under construction. And they really built them in two weeks.
Awesome.
Yesterday they announced that they had stopped the epidemic. They appear in videos celebrating, they announce that they even have a vaccine. How could they create it so quickly without having all the genetic information? Well if you are the owner of the formula it is not difficult at all.
And today I just saw a video that explains how Den Xiao Ping gave the west a half stick. Due to the coronavirus, the actions of Western companies in China fell dramatically. China I just hope, when they went down enough they bought them. Now the companies, Created by the USA and Europe in China with all the technology put in by these exchanges and their capital they passed into the hands of China, which is now rising with all that technological potential and will be able to set prices at will to sell everything they need to the West. How are you?
None of this could have happened by chance. China who cared that a few old men died? Fewer old-age pensions to pay, but the loot has been huge. And right now the West is financially defeated, in crisis and stunned by the disease. And without knowing what to do.
Masterfully diabolic. It had to be the communists. |
Adding to this, they are now the single largest owners of US treasury with 1.18 trillion holding surpassing Japan.

How come Russia & North Korea have Low or Zero incidence of Covid- 19 ?
Is it because they are staunch allies of China
On the other hand USA / South Korea / United Kingdom / France / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit
How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?
China says that the drastic initial measures that they took were very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas
Why Beijing was not hit ? Why only Wuhan?
It is interesting to ponder upon.. right ?
Well ..Wuhan is open for business now
Covid - 19 needs to be seen in the backdrop of the arm twisting of China by USA in the trade war
America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially
Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China.
China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present THE MOST POWERFUL country in the world.
So use the virus...to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities.
Trump was initially downplaying the effects of coronavirus, calling it a democratic hoax, blaming Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. He was basically unprepared. Weeks went by and he couldn't even assembly the world's best. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), previously having been decimated by Trump, was left napping and unprepared as well. Nobody had any game plan - one of the few times America operated from adhoc mode.
Lately President Trump has always been telling of how the GREAT American economy was improving on all fronts and jobs were coming back to the USA
The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an ECONOMIC HAVOC. But he forgot his vulnerability - wellness.
Wuhan's epidemic was a showcase.
At the peak of the virus epidemic....China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas.
As President he should have been covered from head to toe, right?.....But that was not the case.
He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus....that means a cure was already in place before the virus was released
China's vision is to control the World ECONOMY by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.....La
ter China will announce that their Medical Researchers have found a cure to destroy the virus
Now China shall OWN the stocks of All Western Alliances and these countries will soon be slave to their NEW MASTER..... CHINA

Interesting theory. The most reasonable of all the conspiracy theories I've read. But unfortunately, it all still remains a conjecture.

Hmm, NwekeUG, at the time this report was being made, who would have believed that it would balloon into a global disaster grinding the world to a stop a few months later?

Trust Corona not to be outshined during any local award. E be like say na only Omashola go safe now o, after being ridiculed for his anti-Coronous outfit.

From all indications, it's obvious that its the elites and middle class that are the main distributors of this virus to the masses. No wonder it's been touted as a rich man virus.

Probably, Co-vid was looking to win the AMVCA BEST ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AWARD (for helping to massively reduce global pollution through carbon emissions by over 40%)

It was actually stupid of Trump to have declared chloroquine as a remedy without being a certified health expert on how to administer the drug. This is no different from the salt water and Ebola case. Many ignorant people and even the so called literate ones will misuse the opportunity leading to needless deaths.

MrCrown, Six years ago, u were almost right, other than the fact that the new king of viruses Corona was missing!

Instead of Corpers to stay where they are and isolate themselves, they are being asked to go to their various states. Do they not know that this singular action will accelerate the spread of the virus into other states? Corpers who may have been infected in Lagos will now carry it to their home states. Same with those in Abuja or Oyo/Ekiti.

Is it not Nigerians running away from the UK/US that now brought more cases of CoVid into NIgeria?

These people need to learn from history!!
