Some of you guys don't bother reading,Nigeria is not using test kits what we are using is polymerase chain reaction which gives you details and it's not news that someone who is negative can test positive again that's why patients are not discharged immediately they test negative but left for observations for sometime

Maybe it’s you who is guilty of not reading. Read what I wrote again.

This is no joke! The president or presidency need to fire all the media aides and advisers. They make the president look like a joke in the site of Nigerians and the world at large. Take a look at each and every speech given by Buhari since he became hos. Even Instagram teenagers will do better pr than those old empowered idiots.

NgwalandAbia:
Soon we will shame America and their European and Israeli servants yeye people

Una really dey think say this na competition. It’s the world against the virus bruh. If Nigeria proves to be better at treating the disease than the west, when we finally defeat it, we will start treating foreigners. Most likely from neighbouring countries.
So pray for the world, not just Nigeria.

SmartyPants:
Why pick out what you want from what he said? The gist of his entire statement was that there is a very low need for ventilators as the majority of the cases are mild. Let's be fair to each other.

im sorry but coming from the health minister who needs every possible instrument to contain this virus, that statement is myopic. It’s better you have more, than less at any point in time when it comes to health matters. The gist is for people like you.

CoolAmbience:
And you are the public abi?

Abeg, shift!

You and Soyinka dey drag superiority?

I repeat, Soyinka didn't say anything out of line.

If you hate him, na for your pocket. Who you help?

theres no dragging any superiority here bruh! Soyinka is one of the most irrelevant personalities we have in the country. It’s a fact!

No need to buy more, the available ones can be flown all over where they’re needed. Wonderful!
God protect us from evil!

teadrake:
The Rapid Diagnostic Kit employed for the testing was a fake one and hence the reason for false negativity result at first. Real time PCR is mostly effective as the accuracy is >90%. If you tested positive and then recover, you developed immunity against the virus for life!

but this is a lie

AkeNathan:
Upfront payment or pay on delivery?

co ask

“He first tested negative, then positive”. Oluwa help our country. The major question is, how sure are we of the authenticity of our test kits, no matter how small in number. We should be learning from what is happening in Europe now.

CoolAmbience:
That's your opinion.

Soyinka can't be gagged just like other Nigerians.

This is democracy bro.

bruh Soyinka no help anybody, he always blowing grammar from a distance. He is neither a patriot nor an activist. If he’s your mentor, worship him in private, but as for the public, absolutely of no imptance.

Nigerians should pray for a cure that’s readily available to us. If possible, the cure should come from us cos the anarchy ahead will not be funny.

Lol, you should be scared! I said it severally that the Italian man story was a hoax. Plus we lack a whole lot in terms of medicine and laboratory here.

The country is really confused... why then is there a lockdown? Or what is the meaning of the lockdown? Who then should be indoors? From the lists I can see above, almost everyone is exempted. They’re probably just stopping the state to state and maybe local government to local government spread.

CoolAmbience:
Oga, there is nothing unbecoming with what Soyinka said.

He is a Nigerian....an elite Nigerian at that. His position on the President's lockdown directive is obviously inquisitive and admonishing.

Soyinka simply called for caution and sensitivity to constitutionality in the issuance of directives as efforts are being made to contain the spread of the Corona virus epidemic.

Aren't we in a constitutional democracy anymore?

No bruh! He just wasted an opportunity to actually make sense again! I repeat, the elites are Nigeria’s failures. My lecturers in school know everything about Nigeria and it’s problems as well as the constitution you made mention of. Yet all of us, led by them(elites), still come together and elect people who have no idea about these issues. Soyinka like most elites shouldn’t be listened to. Their know how has led us nowhere.

psalmistkakah:
Sin of mankind, if I were God, I would have ended this world long time ago, God created this Earth with the intention for mankind to live without any issue, but Adam and Eve brought sin disobeying God's instructions. So God allow plague so that we can return back to Him, read old testament and see how God allow the defeat of Israelites and also deliver them by using his prophets. Am sure God will still makes use of human to find solutions to this plague, definitely there will be casualties, so that will can learn and acknowledge Him. U talk of other ailments they are deadly but it does not spread like Covid 19 which is manageable and some can live with it till old age. So this is act of God that you will find difficult to understand but God has a reason for doing His thing.

The world is as natural as it can be, nothing exists without its opposite, everything good has its bad sides. The world has seen it all and will outlive it all. Humans will come with their different gods and civilization which will pass with time, but the world will remain miles away from perfection.
If you think the world will end, or will be destroyed by fire, then you’re more evil than you think.
If you think God has favorites and has selected the chosen ones, leaving the rest to perish, then you have to check yourself. Your evil is out of this world.

Reading what most of you supposed Christians have written, I’ve been drawn an inch deeper into my conclusion that even religion requires education to comprehend. You have to understand what’s within your environment before you making endeavours to look without.
Most of you need to get educated before getting spiritual so you stop being environmental nuisances.

Fortune109:
The greatest gift he has given humans is RATIONALITY... that's why humans are capable of inventing unimaginable things throughout history. Therefore humans are capable of solving their problems without the direct intervention of God.

Some issues are beyond human powers to handle...in such situations, he intervenes directly. Like Dinosaurs were wiped out millions of years before us( humans couldn't have made it with dinosaurs)

So if you say 'he can't do shit'...what exactly do you want him to do for you??

If your fellow man slaps you, he should send Angels to help you slap back??

If powerful nations are exploiting weaker ones, he should come down to force you to step up your game by deciding the right way for your country by electing selfless leaders who will make your country strong too??

All illnesses, plagues, epidemics at all, have it cures in the bio diversity of the world...with his gift of RATIONALITY which he has bestowed on humans, we have great scientists all over the place...then let humans make research and creat cures for all the illnesses.

He will not intervene directly...he only does that when we are overwhelmed...

If animals and trees were to write about humans, what do you think their story would look like?

This so called educated elites are still the ones that would cry foul when shit hits d fan. It seems to me that criticising the president is becoming a stimulus reaction for so many. I don’t blame them though. No one actually knows if Buhari is aware that he’s still president. If he is, is he aware that this is his second tenure? Cos the nigga on tv just look like someone who was tapped up from sleep and told:- “hey you’re president, we need you to read this out while we record. But still, the elites are really embarrassing the nation... Wole Soyinka is just another embarrassing elite at this point.

Lol! The message is yet to relax on the mind of Africans really. Till shit hits the fan.

ElasticStone:
So Emir and Sultan don't have money to help even with the tax?

Igwe and Oba haven’t donated. There is still time. The virus sef never really manifest reach like that. But you know Nigerians love showing off. Last last we go hear say most na audio donations.

It was obvious from the start. Unserious people shouldn’t be taken seriously.

ElasticStone:
Why is it that all the donations for mitigating COVID19 are mostly from churches, pastors, Bishops and philantropists. I have not heard of any Imam or Alfa making donations. The irony of the whole thing is that Islam is said to be a religion of peace

Cc: Seun, lalasticlala, OAM4J, mynd44

Imam is different from Emir! Want to evade tax in Nigeria? Simple! Become a pastor.

So the virus can spread during the day, and sleep at night right?

They are egungun on the express, it will soon happen

donbachi:
"Keep rising"...someone dat is suppose to give hope to others,is now the person creating the panick...affected nations with world class medical facilities are praying it does not spread further..someone from a nation with just maternity centers is praying it rises...na ur head e go rise.

dont be silly! Truth is more important than false hope. People need to know what they’re up against. The British prime minister said the same thing. In his words, “Things will get worse before they get better “.
Why do we prefer lies to truth? See our leaders, all liars, why?

As expected! So we’re dependent on the outside world for the vaccine right? Or is there any research been conducted somewhere in Nigeria in order to find our own vaccine?

Before or After the lockdown?

Hmmm sometimes I feel the ncdc does not count all these our celebrities... I’ve heard more of this person that person than what the ncdc is counting for us.

FSBoperator:
Rather than see the figures coming out from the West and act wisely to put in all efforts to screen and test travelers from affected countries, your govt did nothing.

There was so much effort put in place by the govt's army of online propagandists to dismiss the seriousness of this pandemic and it reaching our shores.

In 2-3 weeks when you begin to see an exponential explosion in cases and deaths, then you will know that your partisan work at BMC will not save you.


You will get the same useless non-existing treatment at the hospices that you shamelessly call hospitals.

let those who have ears listen. No European country got where are now with the virus in 1month. Check how long it took or how many confirmed cases they had before recording their first loss. My guess is we’re even moving faster with death rate... I don’t think it’s up to a month ago when the uk and USA recorded their first losses but look where they are now. Africans be wise!

The only thing that will save us is a miracle. From the perception of “educated” people alone about the virus, it’s safe to say it has landed and is spreading quickly and quietly. We don’t read at all. People don’t even know that it could take up to five days before symptoms begin to manifest. Right now, as usual, we’re more concerned about hunger than any other thing. But remember, hunger feels better without disease. With disease, I doubt the feeling can be explained.
Educate your environment, it’s an obligation.

Make them see April first na!

Stop donating money! Donate materials! Those guys will embezzle it and depend on international relief materials. Can’t trust them with money, experiment has been conducted a lot of times.
