Emmaomotob:
.Religious people can be extremely stupid. What connection does man made measurement of time have with the divine will of an omnipotent but impotent god? It is sad to see where these incompetent religious vegetables drain their precious brainpower as they continue to wallow in unmitigated poverty.

the only stupid person here is you, who rejects wisdom and fail to seek understanding

it is hightime moderators of this platform stop asking and pushing indecent post and topics on Christian holidays

one can teach by preaching the right things to do and not by instigating the act as a topic for discussion

it is disgusting

rusher14:
Very useless newspaper called vanguard.

What kind of headline is "Despite the lockdown"?

Italy, France, Spain, the US, Germany, Japan all have had various forms of lockdown and what has been the result?

Compare with Nigeria and tell us what you mean by despite.

Rag of a paper.

my brother it shows to tell us we av the highest number of morons in the world and spreading with the virus

this one will create chaos and still be risking lives of hungry lawmen to chase the monster

Politicians who are money managers suddenly wants to claim expert on crisis and disaster management !!!!

See your NUJ.
The World will not be destroyed by fire or virus.
By Owei Lakemfa.
A veteran journalist called me on April 4 to confirm if indeed the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) issued a statement advising government against approving the Fifth Generation Mobile Technology (5G) claiming it is dangerous and linked to the outbreak of Covid-19. The NUJ also reportedly rejected the invitation of Chinese doctors in order to avoid: “… a situation where Nigerians will be used as a Guinea pig for any experiment” I told him it was an incredible and absurd story but that I will make enquiries.

I immediately called the NUJ National Secretary, Mr. Leman Shuaib Usman who confirmed the union issued the statement. I asked whether the NUJ had investigated its claims about 5G being dangerous to human beings, or made enquiries from the National Communication Commission (NCC) about it. The answer was negative.

I then asked the basis on which the NUJ is officially rejecting the 5G which will have tremendous effects on journalism practice. There was none based on knowledge, investigation or research. Next, I asked the basis on which the NUJ made a link between the alleged installation of 5G masts in China and the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic; was it based on investigation, published research or verifiable information? It was none of these.

Then I enquired why the NUJ was rejecting the invitation of Chinese doctors to help us fight Covid-19. Mr. Leman told me it was based on the observation that while Wuhan was the epicenter of Covid-19, it did not devastate Chinese cities like Shangai and Beijing, which confirmed the hypothesis that it was a controlled Chinese virus.
I told him that the logic of the NUJ leadership is that the Chinese should be condemned for being able to contain the virus, stopping it devastating more Chinese cities and decimating its population. I appealed that he reviewed the entire issue and if the NUJ had erred, it should have the courage to recall the statement.

The co-signatory was the NUJ National President, Mr. Christopher Isiguzo who I called next. I made my observations and told him that he and Mr. Leman owe Nigerian journalists the duty of withdrawing the embarrassing statement which from my discussions with them is based on rumours, conspiracy theories and false news. He listened and promised to call me the next day.

He did not, but sent me a statement by the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) rejecting the invitation of the Chinese doctors as if that in itself justifies the NUJ leadership’s violation of the ethics of journalism.

Every rookie journalist is taught that while comments or opinions are free, facts are sacred; that a journalist must report only facts and if in doubt, spike the report or the portion he cannot confirm.
The NUJ President followed this up on Wednesday by sending me a video of the self-serving rantings of a transactional pastor whose commercialization of God’s words according to Forbes statistics, has earned him a hefty $30-$50 million profit. The pastor who could not even define what theory is, could be heard in his usual sophistry, claiming that Covid-19 is a scam; the figment of human imagination and that what is killing people is the 5G technology not any virus. It is tragic the depths people can go in order to deceive and profit off peoples’ lives.
The NMA appears ill-informed about the Chinese doctors whom it assumes are being employed by the Nigerian government. Based on this misinformation, it argues there are unemployed Nigerian doctors, and implied that the money government is going to pay the Chinese doctors can be better utilized providing necessary medical equipment and facilities .

However, the verifiable information is that these doctors are being brought in by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) as part of its corporate social responsibility. They are to spend one month in the country, and to share experiences with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and not to practice medicine in Nigeria.

The fact is, given the titanic battle China waged against Covid-19, Chinese doctors are some of the most experienced in fighting the virus, and a drowning man is not interested whether his rescuer is Nigerian, Chinese, Yemeni or Dutch.

The NMA went low when it wrote that: “The spike in cases and the death toll from COVID-19 in Italy coincided with the arrival of the Chinese in the guise of offering assistance.” This cynical and unsubstantiated claim gives the impression that Chinese doctors are going around the world spreading the virus and deliberately infecting non-Chinese. In this, the NMA without any empirical evidence or facts, is accusing its Chinese counterparts of betraying the physicians global ethical code (The Hippocratic Oath) which is basically, to respect and save human lives.

The rejection of 5G or the false claim that it is the source of the Coronavirus is like people rejecting telephone on the basis that it is the cause of small pox.

The 5G network is basically an improvement on the high-speed mobile internet (4G) which was an improvement on the voice and mobile data (3) itself an advancement on the Digital Voice (2G) and the Analogue Voice (1G) In rolling out 5G which some countries like South Korea, Britain, United States, Switzerland, Finland and Germany have done, the approving authorities put into consideration basic issues like health, security, labour, commercial and social implications.

The 5G will not be decided by rancorous debates, rumours or fake news. It is the logic of science, the pull of technology, demands of knowledge and commerce and the inevitability of an idea whose time has come. It should be clear to all that 5G is global and not a Chinese invention.

Bodies like the NUJ and NMA need to start thinking and discussing the likely implications of 5G on their members. Otherwise, it would be like the introduction of the internet when the media was dragged by the ears into the new world. Many media organisations which could not adapt, died while all parts including reportorial, sub-editing, photography and production underwent fundamental transformation.

Many of the purveyors of fake news on Covid-19 and 5G are pathetic victims of imperialist propaganda; mere repeater stations of foreign half-truths and falsehood. Africans and the underdeveloped world should focus on what benefits their people and how they can also contribute to human development and not be cheerleaders at the turf battles for global leadership. They should not become disciples of the archangel of vicious agitation, propaganda and fake news.

I am convinced that this is a world without end, but if creation were to be destroyed as in Biblical times, it will not be by water, fire or virus; it will be fake news the next time.

the writer only sees from one edge of his view.

hazard is not the only concern of 5G... the import if the theory is that it's a tool to unify the world and regulate life and living. a precedent to the coming of Antichrist.

but why do some ppl think they can out argue others on basis of their own logic and not a look at wat the others are saying

if the world would go into apocalypse and the devil would use something isn't technology the most accesible tool to use.

what should bother this atheist writer is why God's view and powers are not embedded in technology or science .... He speaks the Word and the Earth trembles.

God is a majestic being that has brought the human sciences and knowledge to nought by making man search the length and breadth of Earth and skies for wisdom and yet cannot fathom why God is God.

my man I don't believe in 5G or corona theory but I don't support man's logic and excuses for innovations which has obscure purposes

I cant see any arch Bishop. All i see a twin brother of Gandalf the wizard in Lord of the rings.

may God forgive you and Gandalf

Nigerians die like flies from poor healthcare system and poor everything.

it is with men that the devil plan. God sees perfectly and the patient waits on him for guidance

5G isn't for God's use but for man and everything man has made has been killing man since time immemorial.

the only life giving innovation/inventions is to trust and believe in God.

Neh 6:8-9 Then I replied to him, “There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind..


Radiation from ignorance is more dangerous than cancer.

6G is the future.
5G is the present.

I rather listen to qualified Professors working for World Health Organization and International body in charge of Non-ionizing radiation than listen to a theologian.

If I want to know the owner of the rooster that crew when Peter denied Jesus, then I would ask a theologian.



You are using 4G to send a conspiracy theory that 5G is from Antichrist.
1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, you invented none.
Invent yours, let's see.

Large followership should never be used as a criteria to say something is from God. Because "Many will follow" 2 Peter 2:2


If I tell you that the earth doesn't rotate nor revolve around the sun, would you classify it as a revelation?

It is a false statement that was popular back then till scientific proofs debunked it. Scientists like Galileo who was a Christian confirmed Copernicus' model of a heliocentric Solar System. His experimentational and mathematical approach to physics was revolutionary and ahead of his time.

5G conspiracy theories didn't start this year. Why are some people recycling same conspiracy theories in the form of REVELATION in 2020?

False teachers on the loose.

Christians who refuse to read their bibles will remain victims of manipulation by their pastors.
"Touch not my anointed" remains the favorite tools of the manipulators and their slaves.


If the Bible prophesied that Antichrist would come. Why do you think praying against or protesting against Antichrist would work? Are you trying to stop God's prophecy from being fulfilled?
Ignorant Christians with fear written all over them .

Jesus Christ doesn't need your help to fight the Antichrist

right to opinion u both av..... none is superior

only a fool and a blind fool would compare the lockdown in America and Europe to nigeria

the majority of leaders given access to public speech are deranged and filled with ideologies induced from over feeding.

their views are totally separated from the people they lead and bear no reflection of the kind of society they are bred from.

Faith is what keeps a man going even in the face of death and there are more educative way of stating views than using your own comfortable life to judge others

millions of Nigeria comfort and hope lies in God and not in this useless and disssapointing government and their representatives constantly mocking our belief in the supernatural.

if they really wants us to cast aside our faith in God, are they upright and adequate enough to be relied upon?

if I were God I would av men obliterated based on their utterances

married couples keeping nude?

oh boy I no understand that one

wetin I wan do with nudes on my fone?

this is unfair....! we are treated like fools home and abroad

his past is full of human right abuses and tyranny

every Nigerian with BVN should receive this money.

looking for poor people to give is a very foolish way of selecting whom to give

I would like to be part of this presidential task force on COVID 19

I know what to do at the committee

nams77:
Nah! Try clenching your fist and using your clenched fist

that's for martial artist.
normal exercise is open palms

long years of practise and discipline

pushup is hard at start but consistently the muscles of ur arms get used to the weight.

pushup makes you strong, it gives incredible power to grabing, pushing, yanking and all body tactics involving weight.

why did we have a qustionnaire on that Ramadan post obviously religious profiling on a Christian holiday and an offensive post as this flaunting arround on same day?

even though religious profiling us not on your guidelines it is a violation of fundermental rights to bar and ban opinion based on religious profiling

Nigerians alter their names for obvious reasons.

ppl die not their choice.... RIP
China should be sanctioned for causing pain to the world

I av experienced this sometimes ago.... spasm in the muscles of the hand and it shakes so visibly u might get noticed by close contact.

I think it's natural and comes with sleeping posture and strain on that particular hand. it's not both hand just one.

mine left on its own, try exercising that hand and watch how u sleep

the failure in system is your responsibility and the country remunerated you enough to acquire expertise and implement befiting ideas.

failure to work together and take cues from criticism amongst yourselves is a disservice to the country. you travel abroad quite often and you witness and have access to the systems in place there, why find it difficult to do here.

the NSIP isn't just non integrating it's a toll on funds and amounting to waste if the populace don't feel the impact, why argue on this?

our officials don't av heartbeat and too relax to feel the pulse of the nation, reason why they can be issuing back n forth grammar while the job remains undone.

in saner climes, they oughto be fired and banned from holding public offices for this insensitivity to public plight and defending failure.

wherever you are, find your peace and don't bite more than you can chew.

all the issues discussed happens everywhere, the world is a global village, isn't it?

conclusively u can run from the bad environment but u can't run from who you are

home is the best.

I will talk about her cos she's the subject of enquiry

a 22 year old undergraduate don't really have much up her sleeves now not untill you begin the process of exposing her to your afflence and methods

also her taking ur feeding serious dosent translate to good or future good, u just av go be more observant.

if you like someone isn't enough feeling to begin a relationship considering your age, u need to look at other factors as her background, orientation and more importantly who is the other guy(there is always the other guy)

you can't go down or be wrecked, forget that simplicity ..... that's a reality for the future if u made mistake of not carrying out ur due diligence, she knows ur financial status, so be more apt.

lastly your age makes you more prone to manipulations so I ll advise you pitch with a mature woman and delete this infatuation

a 22year old would only distract you if you are not ready to train her and bring her up to your standards

In time of crisis and emergencies, a poorly planned system, adminstration whether public or private may go into overdrive or collapse.

A lot of the misjudgements and inaccuracies during crisis period are not a new onset but has been inherent in the system, it only became manifestly obvious due to a strain on the fabrics of the system thereby producing tear.

Nigeria is obviously a clear case of years of dependency on fireman tactics and over reliance on monetary means to solving problems. technicalities, expertise and sound process managers and administrators are pushed to the rear or afford a chair only when the issue is academic and non profit.

Nigerians on the other hand has developed a high distrust of the government in a massively fast manner that within seconds of government publications, assertions of conspiracies and counter opinion begins to fly.

With this kind of occurences it is not surprising why many government agencies and administrators plus the private sector too quickly adopts the propagation of funds and donations of funds, borrowing, loans and disbursement from saving coffers to tackle the issues.

it is the years of degenerating health care system, non-chalantant to public facilities , corruption and a general system collapse. it is then not surprising that the few elites and political class can confidently begin patriotic donations and leave many to wonder where has these attitudes been all this while and why this same institution of health and social welfare was neglected.

Many Nigerians are highly suspicious and though were obvious to the previous antics of past adminstration of exploiting any slight mishap of scale or repute to divert and begin looting spree. The government's resolve to care for the country populace during the lockdown is purely an example of over reliance on monetary solutions and within minutes of this approach, it met with a collosal impediment from the lack of expertise and system put in place to make the monetary solution have a meaningful impact. it met with failure and more distrust.

Money don't solve all issues perhaps with these system the Nigerian government has adopted and in recent times it can become a lesson for our leaders to build institutions and systems that support sustainable growth, wider participation and use of technology to advance every policy.

Emphasizing manpower with relevant experience, knowledge and education has been obviously glaring and politicising issues has also dented the progress they envisage in the fight against the pandemic.

Our next generation of leaders if not swayed by the trend and characters of this current crop would and should learn from building from scratch and upward and not approaching issues from the top in a cream and cake manner.

Fortune109:
The analogy is apt!

If you are resolute about something like they all did against her, then obstacles (like the energy you talked about) won't be of issues to you.

she invited the problem, ppl only respond to her impunity

0m0nnakoda:
Exclusive list?
What a stupid thing to say

how is it stupid.... oh boy stop flaunting ignorance.

Fortune109:
He is still right in a way...that the energy an average Twitter guy used to call out Funke for her wrong doing over a far lesser crime would have been more useful against corrupt politicians.

av u seen the energy needed in voting and participating in national issues compare it to typing in the comfort of ur parlour.

the analogy is foul

tyson99:
Honestly naija problem pass jesus

personalize it : say your problem

how did funke matter depicts attitudes of Nigerians towards leaders or leaders irresponsibilities

this dude is just high on drugs and lack any reasonable arguement or contribution to issues

even if we suspect and prejudice the fire incidence to be foul play, does that gave him an override to mock his fellow country men as such

after all this same common nigerian made u who u are today and u berth successes here.

the fire is an act and feature of an irresponsible govt but no person should ascribe the failure of such to the citizens who are oppressed and put in precarious situation to decide btw the devil and the sea
