FG, it's time to also focus on Kano before it gets out of hand. Increased positive cases are as a result of increased number of people refusing to be careful and stay at home, not because of increased testing. They will be negative if they didn't contract the virus.

meezynetwork:
You sell increase testing leads to increase positives.

Rather, it's increased refusal of people to stay in one place that leads to increased positives. I don't blame them. They wanted to go and find food to avoid hunger.

how did they pass through Oyo, Ogun and kwara to reach Niger state

What about those of us in lagos presently?

How did they manage to leave Lagos in the first place? I think the lockdown is not working in Lagos.

For those in Lagos. Don't join the crowd to flout the lockdown. It's time to take your own decisions. Close your "home" borders. Visit nobody. Let no one visit you. Only go out when you need to get food supplies. Make sure you don't touch your face when outside. Wear face mask when going out. Wash your hands immediately you return. Wash the cloth immediately and take a bath. Then relax and don't step out until you need food again. You will be fine.

MetaPhysical:
Take them to Anambra to go chill.

Afterall Ibo migrate everywhere under the constitution.

Yes. But Igbo will not run away from a town they live in when the town has COVID19 problem. They will stay put and find ways to help the town people to solve the problem.

Op and co, become born again Christians. Take this problem to God in prayer. He will do something.

I can't believe what Melinda Gates said has been turned into. We totally misunderstood her. I watched the said CNN interview. She actually requested that Africa needs immediate help to prevent "seeing many dead bodies in the streets". She explained that she had been to several African countries and that many poor people live in cramped suburbs, such that it will be difficult to stop COVID19 from wrecking havoc if it is allowed to spread in Africa.

Josephobaz1985:
spaniards have been at home since February . What is the result: 18k deaths. Science is yet to unravel covid19 secret

The number of Spanish COVID19 deaths and reported infections were already high before they imposed lockdown. In today's news reports, lockdown has helped them to get fewer deaths.

We should work with what helped others while we hope that Science will profer solution.

Lagosians, you see the result now. Instead of staying at home, some of you went out jogging together, playing football, driving cars around causing hold up here and there. With this kind of release daily, it's easy to predict that lockdown will be lifted in Abuja in the next two weeks while Lagos will continue.

sean079:
What experience and data do u guys need again after 4 weeks of examination? This disease aint for us in africa. How many infected patients are in critical condition presently? How many deaths has Nigeria recorded? How filled up are the centers for isolation and quarantine ? This are data the govt suppose to be working with before taking decision ?

The data you enumerated still look good because most Nigerians are observing the stay at home order since it was made. Otherwise, we would have been telling a different story by now.
As for the hunger, I am also hoping to receive a kind of palliative from government which is not forth coming. They should increase their efforts towards it.
Meanwhile, the disease will kill more people than hunger if we allow it a chance to spread.

Avalancheman:
I am talking about the place not the people.

The Coronavirus is kind of harmless in Africa. That is the fact.

COVID19 is COVID19 anywhere. We should be grateful to God that it came late to Africa and that has given us opportunity to learn From how it dealt with others. We don't have to experience it like the others did before we learn.

Avalancheman:
Coronavirus is not for Africa. The facts are there for all to see. God is so good to us...

More than 70 percent of 23,000 deaths in US are black Americans. Let's learn from their own facts and take this disease seriously. We still have opportunity to prevent the ugly situation in US.

Martinola:
Make these food items find a way to africa nah
Wat a waste

China did not waste their medical equipment. They sent Some to Africa. How did Africans respond?
They said China poisoned the equipment with COVID19.
If America sends us food now, we will say something worse. So they better keep them.

4gunners:
If the govt had closed the border early and forced everybody coming in, to isolate for 14 days, we wouldn't have had this lengthy lockdown shit...

Exactly, but after 14 day isolation, those that tested positive would still be treated in your country. The best prevention would have been to close all Borders and fight like Gov. Wike of Rivers state to ensure that nobody entered from affected parts of the world. After the virus, we will all sign the peace treaty once more.

idrisreal002:
Just as Lagos leads with its internally generated revenues, it also leads with Covid-19 active case in Nigeria. Nawa o

it's one of the "side" benefits of having the best functional airports in your neighbourhood.

jericco1:
they should rather focus on the active case. Why added the new case to the old ones whereas 50+ have been discharged. They're behaving like CNN. It's not hygienic abeg.

They assume we should do the rest of the calculation if we need to know at any point. That's how it is reported all over the world. WHO coordinates it. By the end of COVID19, i.e. Last last, the figures that would be relevant are total numbers that got infected and those that died.

Get ready for COVID 20 (hunger and famine) after COVID19.
Meanwhile, EEDC never flash their light for my side since over two months now. I guess we should not join this discussion.

Lockdown was eased off in Wuhan, Hubei region of China after two weeks of reporting no new cases. So expect the same sequence anywhere in the world including Nigeria.
If all of us obey and stay at home today, within 14 days there will be no new case in Nigeria.

yusufu16:
We just have to find a way to live with this virus. Coronavirus shouldn't stop us from doing a normal activities[/b]

Today alone, over 500 people were reported to have died of COVID19 in UK alone. How does a country live with such news every day? If China can handle it, prevent and stop new infections in a country of over 1.5 billion people, why can't we do it.

Our biggest problem in Nigeria is indiscipline and we are going to pay heavily for it, if the citizenry don't change their attitude sooner.

Also. I think the decision to open market within some stipulated hours will do more harm than good. There will be rushing within those hours which will be counter productive. I think it is high time Jumia and other such companies are engaged to deliver ordered food items to people's door steps. Government should subside their transport fare so as to make it more affordable for people. Also Jumia should add phone numbers which people can call and make orders instead of online. Not all are computer literate. At market, only wholesalers of food and medical items should be allowed to open. Then, Jumia deliver the items to the people.

uchman:
The answer is on the last paragraph...

We joke with everything in this country.
Those countries evacuating their citizens has been in this Covid 19 war before us,
they know exactly that this is not war female run,
holding their breast...

We are not serious here...
There supposed to be lockdown yesterday in Anambra state but my people moves around freely,
just that markets closed.

I was imagining this lockdown to be what I used to see on Facebook in other countries where you wont even see 1 person on the street but everybody was moving freely yesterday...

Me I even go mechanic go repair my car but we still dey lockdown...

The real lockdown will start when we see headlines like this one:
"811 People Die of COVID19 Within the Last 24 Hours in Nigeria"
That time, no matter how hard you try, you won't see anybody in the streets of Lagos. Then somebody will offer you double of the amount for repairing your car, you no go gree go mechanic.

OP, I hope this explains why the foreigners are leaving. Only few Nigerians are really aware of the situation at hand and they not obeying directives.

Well! A real naija person won't be surprised by this development. During this corona season, for the common Nigerians, two things are involved: either you catch it or you don't catch it.
If you catch it, two things are involved: either you get lucky, be tested and be treated as one of the "confirmed cases" or you are unlucky.
If you are unlucky, two things are involved: either you obey and stay at home or you continue going about as an unintentional dispersal agent.
In both instances, two things are still involved: you may develop symptoms and know that you have it without this official testing or you may just be divinely cured without showing any symptom, thereby not being counted in corona records.
If you have symptoms, two things are still involved: if and when you reach the corona hospital, either you get admitted or you are told to wait in a long queue, that the hospital is already filled up and there is no space for you.
If and when you finally get admitted, two things are still involved: with or without treatment, your condition either stays "stable" like those in the news or you will become serious and then require intensive care.
If you require intensive care, two things are involved: the doctor decides whether you deserve to live and puts you on a ventilator or they simply become too busy to pay attention to you and asks you to wait.
If they become too busy for you, only one thing will be involved: you will know exactly how many ventilators there are in your country and exactly who are using them at that moment.
Then, you will remember God and begin to pray always if you hadn't been the powerful type.
Prevention is better than cure. Stay at home.

PDP secretary, the lapses you observed in the speech are well noted. That is the essence of having a viable opposition party. In times like this, just choose only one of the gaps you have identified and fill it, since you may not have enough to fund all of them. Make a difference by practicing what you preach. Just talking is not enough. Nigerians will not forget whatever you did to help them at the point of need.

This confirms that one of the symptoms of Coronavirus is "the urge to move about".

Oga, you mentioned that you are already feeling better. I thank God for you. Why don't you allow the more serious patients to use the new facility in Lagos? You don't have to taste everything.

By the time someone is dead, he will still have no democratic rights. If we all understand the magnitude of what we are dealing with-an invisible killer-called corona, we will keep all the arguments and look how to help the situation. Most Nigerians are ignorant of the situation at hand. I hope government will use military to force people to stay at home. This is no longer an issue of who supports Buhari or not. Our health and lives are at stake.

My problem now is how to stop unnecessary visitors. It is not easy, but we have done our best to stay at home over the last one week. I feel our effort is kind of shatters each time another 'ignorant" ivisitor enters our home. Why can't people simply stay in their houses? This is not a time to visit friends.

Okay! The best solution now is to self isolate oneself. No wonder, all the governors suddenly quarantine themselves, even after they tested negative.
If this over 4k people story is real, and going by what Corona is doing all over the world, a responsible government should have imposed total lock down with that announcement.

In Nigeria, just like we provide electricity and other amenities for ourselves, we don't have to wait for government to lock down. Lock down on your own. It's until other countries became scared of Nigeria for having received enough COVID19, before the borders were shot.

There is no sense in what they are doing there. This is exactly what was going on at Lagos airport before an Italian came in without symptoms, The only solution is to close the bridge and stop movement across it.

It Is becoming obvious by the day. I hope no one is still doubting that Europeans manufactured HIV and co and spread them to Africa. For goodness sake, Nigeria should stop all flights from all Europe and continue the land border closure.

Exactly, this is how coronavirus started in Iran without having any connection with that of China.

bobolistica:
no Nigerian has been listed among the casualties

He may have had dual citizenship. Probably listed as a Canadian or Ukrainian depending on the passport he used for the flight.

Had Iran been a sane society, their president would have honourably resigned by now.

ok, let's assume it must be in the Bible for us to do it, MFM go ahead and show us where MFM or that football club of yours is written in the 8ible.
We also respect your opinion about that one.

Atiku lost in his own polling unit. So, where else did he win?
