Ah, the infamous 20-second videos of naija bloggers.

ArcSEMPECJ:
He is or his staff is?.....

From the video, I believe you saw other people he allowed to pass....

He's also a staff of the company.

You expect the field and technical staff to perform their own roles without leadership, without anyone running things?

Tell me any other state in Nigeria where they specifically said only a particular class of electricity staff are allowed to move around. Maybe medical directors too should stay home then. And senior police officers.

Come to think of it, why is Wike himself out and about?

apache22b:
I am ecstatically delighted and disproportionately flabbergasted with enormous gratification and appreciation for the dispensation of such a tendering and mesmerizing information in which the prestidigitation of the concurrent and subsequent matter is thoroughly demonstrated through the innuances alluding to literal and metaphorical context. It is highly imperative to note that, such is the significance of the aforementioned, distortion in any shape or form will result in catastrophic ramifications to which will be the outcome of epic proportions. I thank you for your unequivocal.

We read you loud and clear.

Quarantine does make people slightly mad

Makavelli25:
Igbo is definately amaka

At least they're not definitely amaka

Some people don't seem to understand that Wike is not doing this gragra because of covid19. It offends his powerdrunk ego when he perceives people are flouting his decrees.

ArcSEMPECJ:
Go and hide...your mummy is coming to the children's room to collect your phones......be a sharp guy

He's running a company providing essential services to multiple states. Besides the exemption says "electricity staff", it didn't say only bills distributors.

fashrola:
Is that why they should bring bills during this lockdown? Where the masses wan carry money pay?

So the masses will enjoy someone's product and not pay. If they don't have money to pay they should not use someone's product.

You can't go to a supermarket, grab some items and walkout without paying because you don't have money.

SmartyPants:
Lol.
I've said I'm open to being convinced and you still had to close with a snarky remark. Na wa o.

A bit rich coming from someone named Mr Smartypants

Anas09:
The operative word in your statement is, 'THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY' How does that give you problems?
Ha satan. The money na our own. The hard work, na we do am, but na you e dey pain how we use am. If we use it for occult reasons or on prostitutes we won't hear a word from you.

Chai satan, you are shameless really.
I will continue to give God my money, go die

Shouldn't it be the other way round?

No one should worship a god who needs money.

SmartyPants:
Are you losing your train of thought? You said trump's behavior has been dangerous and inadequate. This is an opinion. If you mean to argue that his behavior is responsible for the crisis, you are yet to advance any argument in that direction. As I said, I'm open to being convinced.

1. Trump cut CDC pandemic advance warning staff in china

2. Trump cut CDC 2020 funding by 16%

3. While the virus was spreading around the world, Trump was praising China and claiming china will contain it while he did mostly nothing.

4. Trump dismissed the virus as a democratic hoax, and claims without any scientific basis that the virus will disappear in the warm weather of April

https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/14/trump-coronavirus-alerts-disinformation-timeline&ved=2ahUKEwiK-OHB46npAhVLzoUKHRt2CIsQFjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw0yg1FpmPGu6QZo1GnqEzsh&ampcf=1

5. Early on, Trump claimed to have the virus under "total control"

6. Trump promotes a dangerous and unproven treatment with hydroxychloroquine when even his experts say it's ineffective and dangerous. At least one man died and several were hospitalized from it. Trump later abandoned this position.

7. Trump announces the china flight ban in January, but allowed 40,000 Americans from China to return back to the US. None were tested for the virus.

8. Trump largely went campaigning in February and did nothing throughout this period to stop the virus. He also went golfing. A whole month was lost while the pandemic was spreading across the US.

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/04/politics/trump-covid-response-annotation/&ved=2ahUKEwjJi7KY5anpAhWSzYUKHXOAAxgQFjAFegQIBhAC&usg=AOvVaw02-m0c5KMjI0Dsc2EuYzYt


9. Trump did not use the WHO test kits in use by the rest of the world and sought to create theirs, which were initially faulty and not enough, which led to poor test response while Singapore, Germany and South Korea were conducting mass testing and tracing.

https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2020/3/14/21177509/coronavirus-trump-covid-19-pandemic-response


20. Trump claims he won't assist governors who refuse to shower him with praise, this caused a poorly coordinated response between the states and fed. Trump made his ego more of a priority than people's lives.

https://theintercept.com/2020/03/28/exchange-aid-trump-wants-praise-governors-can-use-campaign-ads/&ved=2ahUKEwjtwP7g5qnpAhVKJBoKHTXDC7EQFjAAegQIBhAC&usg=AOvVaw3Y-B1dsY6_h_YrRLSCiVhU

21. Trump encouraged armed protestors to insist on reopening even when the conditions given by Trump's team were not met. This led to people dangerously massing without distancing and masks, and challenging state authorities, ot also nearly led to an armed showdown. Some of the states who prioritized economy over safety are already seeing spikes in new infections.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/17/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-governors.amp.html&ved=2ahUKEwil_sq856npAhVkyoUKHdO4C9IQFjACegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw15wGc9fFa3NfS8L0wy7HcF&ampcf=1

22. Trump never seriously empathized with the families of the dead, instead he's busy campaigning for his reelection.

23. Trump cuts funding for the WHO at a time the world needs a global coordinating body to fight the pandemic, especially since Trump largely abdicated the US's traditional leadership role. Yes the WHO made mistakes believing China and praising its efforts, but Trump did same (see 3 above), and without a global coordinated response no country is really safe even if it wipes off its own epidemic. The global race for a vaccine would best be coordinated through a global health body.

24. Trump carelessly ponders the use of UV light and dangerous, poisonous substances to treat the virus.

These are some of the many actions and inactions of Trump that led to the highest number of deaths and infections even when the US, through its vast intelligence networks, knew a global health threat was running loose in China. If you watch the nightly Trump press meeting it's largely about how Trump's not getting credit for "saving millions of lives" and the press attacks on him.

So if these don't qualify as Trump's inadequacy, i don't have anything further to say to you.

SmartyPants:
That's an opinion. I'm open to being convinced..

1.3 million infected and 80,000 dead Americans is an opinion?

ghettokid1:
Maybe its even Hunger virus that killed her & not corola birus

Does she look hungry to you?

SmartyPants:
The comparison is not based on policy but on behavior.

Trump's behavior has been inadequate and frankly dangerous.

chukslawrence:
Our very own Donald Trump...... Man not taking any chances.

Wrong comparison

Trump's been carelessly asking states to reopen even as infections are increasing because politics

Ezennwa:
hmm!

Something must be done about it.

If only people can obey the rules of COVID-19.

Their governor refused to institute any form of restrictions, and is instead relying on chloroquine and steam inhalation, both of which have been debunked as treatment.

Bevista:
Ok, thanks for the correction. It's the context that matters, though. The State abusing the rights of citizens under the guise of "public good".

No I'm not correcting you, the spirit of the phrase is exactly as it's said. I'm only talking about the literal translation in English.

Bevista:
"The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants" — Albert Camus.

The literal translation is " for your security"

naijanaso:
They are telling you she is positive and you are saying she should go for test. I don't understand

It's not Ivanka that tested positive, it was her PA.

The person you're quoting suggests Ivanka too should go for tests.

Sometimes it helps to read and comprehend before rushing to quote people

Most of these people lead unhealthy lifestyles, and are sick.

I've never seen a bunch of jokers like this current crop of leaders.

NairalandSon:
I think youngest that has died is 8 years old in UK. May you recover quick young lad.

Yeah, an 8 month-old baby survived in the UK. Generally children seem less susceptible to the virus.

Tissaia:
I know Kumshe he is very good person.
May his soul rest in peace.

He died of a mild flu, right?

And they call the clueless PMB a tyrant

Exc2000:




Trump is a Natural Disaster to Americans

One Very Stupid Ipobian went on Trump's twitter page to lick trumps ass calling him the best American President... the way Americans attacked her and humiliated Nigerians , I felt really ashamed.. nothing they didn't call us , from trolls, to scammers to reminding us how Trump hates blacks and yet some of us worship him out of inferiority complex... Sad part the MAGA redneck white racist Trump supporters even joined in hurling insults on her


.

You mean that ugly ipobian chick who claims she's godly?

These abokis and violence

Tissaia:
Coronavirus is a scam

Prove it.

Go to kano in a crowded bus, mingle with the people, kiss an almajiri or two, visit any isolation center and tell the patients they only have mild flu, hug them and breathe in their air, then come back here 2 weeks later.

MansoryMX:
You can keep fooling urself. Go and asked my mother how she received it. Next time u will learn to respect other people’s opinion in a public forum

I told you, I don't need the old hag to confirm that yours is an incestuous family and you're probably the spawn of inbreeding. I'll take your word for it.

Meanwhile you may consider your odious brain farts to be opinions, but that doesn't make them valid or you any less stupid.

Your tepid rage makes no impression on me save that you're a butthurt donkey suffering from a very benign form of online indignation.

PropertyBuying:
Maybe they could have invested in their own customized interactive internet video chat app.

Nice video.

MansoryMX:
The fukk I gave was to our mother. Go and ask her. Anufia!

I don't need to ask your mother, i believe you.

Waterypussy2:
Arresting them and keeping them so close to each other without any iota of social distancing. This Wike must be an illiterate lawyer or just trying to oppress the good people of Rivers state

Wike's always a tout who plays to the gallery while sucking Rivers dry. And the people are easily diverted, as most Nigerians typically are

edoairways:
Didn't the government say that the poor will not benefit from free electricity?

The entire message was garbled because the government and the DISCOS couldn't even look at each other. Gbajabiamila or whatever his name is first mentioned it without saying who'd bear the bills, then the DISCO umbrella union said the feds will pay the bills and then the feds blinked and chickened out

So here we are.

Tissaia:
I don't know why Nigerians are cowarddds. Nigeria's problem is corruption and insecurities not a virus that's is little more than N1H1
This whole coronahoax is just a test run to see what they can get away with. Judging by the peoples reactions so far....the UN founders has us by the short and curlies. And they know it. Closing churches and mosques while allowing Bank and Markets. There's no real atheist so no angry paranoid person should quote me about religion. Every single atheist av failed lie detector test when asked about God.

Well thank heavens there's nothing called N1H1. The swine flu is H1N1 caused not by a coronavirus but by the Influenza A virus, and this ain't it chief.

I just don't understand the recent pandemic of dumb ladies on nairaland with half-baked conspiracy theories birthed from their overworked cunts, because their chicken brains can't think correctly for one minute.
