Wallade:
Did you just ask if Federal Government(FG) handled this Covid 19 matter appropriately?

The answer from me is "No, FG didn't handle it appropriately".

As much as I don't want to dwell on the past, I must say that the first major miss was the inability of the FG, upon discovery of the index case (Italian man) in Nigeria, to stop all international flights in and out of Nigeria and simultaneously restrict border movements and enabling effective testing at border gates for people who must exit and enter Nigeria.

That is the reason we are in this mess so it is annoying and insensitive to have you put up this topic and try to justify FG actions with the body of your topic. I am more alarmed because you seem to be one of the e-rats on the employment of APC. How much do you guys get paid these days?

Surgical face-masks used to cost about N13 before Coronavirus. It would cost less than N260m to make enough face-masks for every Lagosian.

Seun:
Pls we need to provide protective equipment to everyone, not just health workers. If we don't get sick, doctors won't have to risk their lives for us.

Abagworo:
For now Nigeria is better than UK and [b]kudos to Buhari [/b]for that.

vioment:
No comparison. No level for Nigeria to compare.


A place where Buhari is wishing they can lift their BAN, so that he can run to get there first. If not for coronavirus, he would have been there by now, either staring or halfway of a 2 month vacation and hospital stay.

How can you compare such a leader with the president of a country, that Buhari wishes he was an ordinary citizen of.

You are unhappy I'm saying the truth about you.

rusher14:
Is this the same moniker from the election period?

Covid-19 can bring out the patriotism in some people.

Glare247:
In as much as it is painful for d death,we must admit d government is proactive enough,do u know d casualty recorded in USA,Italy,China ? Get informed

dollarsplenty:
This statement " I will transfer to Lagos later today " speaks volume about Abba Kyari, [b]the Chief Covid Carrier of the presidenc[/b]y.

Lagosians don't want Abba Kyari and his deadly gift

rottennaija:
Did he take drugs at all in all these?

SocialFinance:
Sowore is funny. He refused to say nothing about America where he lives and make his living but focus on Nigeria for political gain from the pain people are going through.

America now carry more viral load than even China

America doesn't have enough testing kit and ventilator

Trump refused to take action always downplaying the severity of the virus

Deaths including that of infants is occurring daily in all the 50 States of America.

Whichever way we look at it, Nigeria had managed this well with no death of locals. Death recorded was of a returned.

Even the Italian man was treated and discharged.

Sowore if you continue this way, you remain a tool used by the enemies of Nigerian masses to deceive and at the you will pay dearly for it.

Sleep on Mama Ogundipe.

kikero:
And that is exactly what is happening. Every contact is being traced and tested. (And I did say so earlier)



They have very very likely all been traced and tested. (I work in the health sector. My working place has already seen a suspected covid19 case that turned out(thankfully) to be negative, so I have reason to pay attention)

kikero:
For now, Nigeria does not have the resources to test 'everyone' , so we test suspected cases who meet the case definition, then their contacts., and increasingly people who have returned from a flight from an affected country.

That they are mostly rich is more of a coincidence than anything else.

In countries with Ebola outbreaks, a large percentage of those tested are poor...because Ebola outbreaks are rural, and thus affect the poor disproportionately. COVID 19 arrived in Nigeria 'by jet plane' and a good proportion of people who fly by plane in and out of this country are...the elite. So most people tested are....you guessed it...the elite and their contacts.

The NCDC and NIMR are trying to get more test centers set up.NIMR is offering free testing in Lagos from tomorrow morning.

ArisingStorm:
The government are gradually having total authority over us, and I know one thing, the government has not really cared about us, they just make it seems so through the help of most media/news outlet (all work for the government).

Coronavirus is a great advantage for them and they want to make us believe its affecting them greatly. Most celebrities work for the government as well. By the time when we wake up, things will have gotten out of hands.

There is currently an imam on twitter with a verified account who constantly makes the world to believe our leader is a terrorist, that's putting us(Nigeria) on the top terrorist radar.

Think, Think out of the box. Gradually Army might take over all in the name of coronavirus.

Just think ahead and don't get distracted. You have a soul.

Bobby4090:
He had a direct contact with someone that tested positive and thats the primary reason he was tested.

In Nigeria, nobody is thinking about the impact of the Coronavirus on the economy. The price of crude oil has crashed so badly and even at that, countries are still not buying. Our fragile internal economy is now under the strain of a partial lockdown. If the lockdown is sustained for a long period, how will people survive? What will happen to our local economy?

Yesterday, Tinubu attempted to profer a solution by advising government to quickly print more Naira in the interim so as to provide social security to the population and sustain the local economy till the crisis is over. Instead of debating the merit and demerit of his suggestion, people who don’t understand how the virus will affect our economy descended on him and accused him of looking for more money to steal. Some quack errconomist even opined that Nigeria will become Zimbabwe overnight.

Whatever the case, this is the time to start thinking of how to rescue the country from the economic recession that is staring at us in the face. If we all keep pretending that all is well, the recession that will hit us in the next few weeks is already doing press up. And this time around, it will be worse than the last one because it would be a global recession.
