LordIsaac:You appear offended. That's what happens when undue allegations are made about you. Like how it feels. |
LordIsaac:Because you are the first to receive 1000 naira to carry placards and damage private and public property. |
Did Atiku's son visit? Because I don't know how else they could have known a random customer tested positive. |
ornicus:This issue is not about your faith in government. Nigerians are naturally callous and primitive and I say so with restraint because I'm Nigerian myself. We hate the truth, we praise the thieves and condemn the frugal. We condemn science and exalt quackery in the form of imported religion. Even now, staring extinction in the face, how many Nigerians do you see making strategic, scientific, methodical decisions? |
ornicus:Oh gosh. We still have foreign reserves if you must know. Whether they go for 20k a piece Nigeria can afford PPE if they are our priority. The guy was simply exaggerating. |
Hernando:When would you have sense? |
ornicus:That report could not be true, believe it or not. Nigeria is broke but not to the point in which government cannot get PPE . The guy on the voice message may know about Coronavirus but he knows nothing about economics. |
staga:I agree there's a paucity of test kits but China is back on the grind from which purchases could be made. Go through my history on this forum and notice how I've always championed science and technology and production. Even now, in the midst of this crisis, igerians cannot help but display their primitive nature. Honestly, I give up. |
She should forget prayers and provide equipment for the fight against Coronavirus from the free money she's made over the years. Even at the point of death, they never have their conscience prick them to philanthropy. |
TheTrueSeeker2:You seem not to understand the concept of quarantine. Atiku's son was a weapon of mass destruction. Since you think he did greatly, why not go to his hospital to praise him. |
GamalNasser:You want me to provide data on just homicides under trump? Have some shame. |
GamalNasser:Nigeria: 200 million people with 35 Coronavirus patients 1 death of recently arrived patient. USA 327 million people with 35 thousand Coronavirus patients, 473 deaths. Trump beats Buhari. |
LordIsaac:Don't you guys get tired of politics and even bad-mouthing the president? Your own representative would travel out, come back into the country, refuse to be scanned but the person you would blame is the president. Ask yourself, is this what someone in an advanced nation would do? Get a life. |
Those of you that were expecting quarantine of all travelers into the country should tell us if you would have accepted your senator be quarantined on arrival. |

winningwinner:What an evil God. |
netflicks:Atiku whose son is a confirmed case is a teenager. |
Mizwisdom:Actually, Burkina Faso recorded a few. |
Banmeallday:... Towards the end of World War I, in September 1918, two troop ships arrived in Cape Town from England carrying over 2,000 black South African Labour Corps soldiers. They were being repatriated after spending over a year behind the lines on the battlefields of France and Belgium where, as non-combatants (the South African government of the day did not allow black people to bear arms), they had provided ancillary support for the white soldiers in the frontline. Their voyage included a coaling stopover in Freetown, Sierra Leone, where Spanish flu was already raging. Within days of their departure from there, cases of influenza began to appear aboard both ships. When the first of them docked in Table Bay, 13 of the soldiers were still laid up. The corps’ medical officer insisted that the influenza on board was similar to ordinary influenza. Nevertheless, as a precautionary measure, the state’s local medical officer had the sick troops placed in isolation at 7 Military Hospital in Woodstock. The rest of the men were put under quarantine at a military camp at Rosebank. There they were all medically examined thrice in 72 hours for signs of influenza before they could be demobilized. But these examinations were rather cursory. And three days later all were allowed to board trains for their homes across the country. It is clear that the enforcement of the quarantine at the camp was cursory too. A local journalist wrote in the Cape Argus, the Cape Town newspaper, on Oct. 9 1918 about how some of the impatient soldiers were seen on the, “prowl in shoals about the Peninsula, notably in District Six.” Within a day of the soldiers having left the camp on trains for home, influenza cases began to appear in a host of sites. These ranged from the staff at the camp and 7 Military Hospital and members of the transport unit which had ferried the returned soldiers from the harbour to fishermen and stevedores working in the docks. But by then the trains were well on their way, carrying the newly-discharged soldiers all over South Africa. Even before they disembarked, some had begun to show symptoms of influenza. From as remote a district as Tsolo in the deep rural Transkei, the local magistrate was soon reporting that, since the arrival of a batch of soldiers, “sickness has become rife … in village and country and people are being brought in to local doctor by wagon and sledge loads.” (Phillips, ‘Plague, Pox and Pandemics’, p. 79) Spanish flu had arrived, becoming more lethal by the day. Inexorably infecting the entire country, railway station by railway station, it engulfed the whole of South Africa within weeks, during what contemporaries called ‘Black October’. It had been “allowed to run everywhere at once, like spilt quicksilver,” fulminated one magazine. https://qz.com/africa/1818699/south-africa-bungled-spanish-flu-lessons-are-still-relevant/ |
Bonesking:Shut up. Show us where you reprimanded those that wished it on Buhari. Hypocrite. |
And that's our problem? His pronunciation? |
How old is this picture? If recent has he been quarantined? |
dwilliams:But I'm following their own write up. |
Mizwisdom:Why would I like to reason like that when my own life, emotions and pains are real? Why do I have to think like a despot I cannot see but provides me with so many travails and yet I have seen those who worship him suffer and die whilst those who don't care about his existence prosper and enjoy and nourish this body I have only evidence exists? |
Niggsrdumb:I meant to write ape-like as I have written in other of my contributions. |
OChimex:I can prove the existence of air by creating a paper windmill. It would rotate if I leave it in the open but once I put it in a jar, it would stop. Finito air proven. I can prove the existence of elements like oxygen and can tell you some are even originated from out of this planet but can you prove God ? Years ago, your kind believed the earth was the centre of the universe and killed those who said the sun was at least the centre of our own system - the solar system. Now you are here talking about the sun and moon as if you wouldn't have been put down by your own kind for even espousing them. Scientists do not claim to have all the answers but oftentimes, their theories end up being correct and they love to the next thing to prove. You on the other hand, believe volume 1 and 2 of a book whose authors even gave differing testimonies of things they claimed they witnessed. Jeez. |
Mizwisdom:I am ignorant because I see the great job he has done for those he loves right? Tell me if you would allow pestilence on the worst behaved of your children regardless of whatever crime he or she commits. Would you kill your child if he or she steals? If you cannot do that, how much more a god you believe has more love than you? Get over this whole primitive book which was written in the dark ages and definitely has been doctored to suit those who proclaim it It hasn't helped us and would not help us now that we are all faced with this new challenge called Covid-19. |
OChimex:Err, some of them have photographs we can refer to. They have a chronology of their existence, we even have DNA evidence, what do we have about your phoney ? You can try to debunk the creation of cars even though the pictures from their earliest of times to their evolution today are well documented if that makes you happy. What you are telling me to do is blindly accept volume 1 and 2 of a book with nary a speck of evidence as against the plethora of evidence science produces and discovers everyday. By the way, when will the pastors cure Coronavirus? Waiting for science as usual right? |
Mizwisdom:Oh hush. Big deal. What would he do besides killing me or those I love? What would he do but provide pestilence to me and my loved ones that he hasn't been doing to billion others and he would continue to do? See how you even speak of him like he's a despot a bully, a dictator who tells you what you must and cannot do. Not like he would ever speak to you, prove his presence, help those who cried in pain due to natural disasters as he did today in Croatia and would do again tomorrow. What exactly should I be scared of? ![]() |
OChimex:There is a difference when a word is used in a derogatory fashion as against scientific. By the way, the term is that we descended from ape-like creatures. Again, what evidence do you have other than the Bible made up of 2 volumes - old and new testament? What is evidenced in the Bible that makes you believe it? That someone turned water into wine or that he walked on water? |
OChimex:It is only a primitive mind that takes evolution as an insult. The people calling you monkeys believe they themselves are evolved from apes, so get over yourself. Science has given links of extinct species with overwhelming evidence. Even today, we have species of various kind going extinction before our very eyes. All you can point to about your belief is a single book with part 1 and part 2 telling you some being somewhere who believes the special race are some guys in Israel and you believe the book. I shame for you. |
