The zoo government scrapped it because they don't want this generation to know anything about Biafra or Biafran war but reverse is the case if you know you know. The rising sun will keep shinning.
Why did Biafran governors scrap history from their state curriculum? Don't they want this generation of Biafrans to know the exploits of Biafrans during the civil war?

You are the sick one: you asked for the mess and it's served you on a platter, enjoy it while more comes.

However, pick up your phone and google "countries that quarantine returning citizens". Don't forget to share the list of such countries. Let me give you an "expo" - China, find the others.
And how did the quarantine of citizens help slow or stop the virus from devastating those countries? Then how will the government quarantine all citizens (what about non citizens?), coming into the country when there was no quarantine facilities in place. Will the government use a magic wand, and abracadabra, huge quarantine facilities with equipments and test kits will appear?

My good man, is it not tenable that:

1. The crisis came to Nigeria later than the countries you mention in the west. Therefore, those countries having provided an example cannot be compared with Nigeria whom should have learned by the aforementioned example?

3. That like for like comparisons are not possible because one, those countries have a far higher inflow of traffic from affected spots; and second, because Nigerias testing capacity is far, far lower than that of other countries...so we may be thinking the crisis is lower here than it actually is. US made this error as well.

4. That there is an obvious cycle where the initial wave of cases seems manageable and then balloons.

Having said all this, I conclude by arguing, without making any comparison that Buhari mismanaged this situation by:

1. Leaving the borders open until a critical mass had become infected

2. Failing to beef up the NCDC capacity despite having showed initial foresight.

3. Failing to address the nation in a timely manner, leading to states having to take the lead

4. Failing to provide critical food supplies for the poor in areas under federal lock down.

Now all of this is underscored by this simple fact: Nigeria does not have the resources other nations have to effectively tackled this crisis. Therefore we ought to have taken extra care. All Mr. President had to do was to close the borders early enough.
So which country do you think took the kinds of measures you advocate to stem the inflow of the virus into their country? Which country do you suggest we emulate?

Nigeria cannot just shut his borders too early to all incoming traffic. Stopping flight from China did not work as Trump found out. The virus could come from any country, even before it reaches epidemic levels in that country. If Buhari stopped all flights to Nigeria the very week the outbreak started in Wuhan, the regular wailers would have wailed endlessly on how Nigeria did not close the borders during SARS in 2003.

Beef NCDC capacity? How? This is a virus we knew very little about and the world had very little ideas of its properties.

The number of infected people are much more higher than what the useless government declared .

Over 10,000 people are already infected in Lagos alone .. All thanks to Buhari refusal to close the borders on time .
Even if we conceded to your unverified figure of 10,000, what of deaths from the virus? With a fatality rate of 2%, we would have expected 200 deaths from coronavirus alone in Lagos State, but we have 2. What does that tell you?

We may pay for it not later but now. May God help us.
Which government scrapped history from our school curriculum? You mean you searched for history in WAEC, NECO and JAMB syllabus, and you did not find it? Maybe you wanted to take history as a subject in your Senior Secondary School and it was not available. That would be the fault of your school and not WAEC or JAMB.
It's state ministry of education that determines the curriculum of secondary schools in the states, except for unity schools, so if history is not in your states curriculum, hold your governor responsible.

The issue here is that the FDA is divided as some feel in the face of this pandemic sufficient test has been done to approve it while others feel the need to exhaust all medical procedures before approving it. Don’t forget that The longer it takes the more the virus spreads there are political undertones to these things too.

Foreign AffairsRe: Opinion: COVID-19 Is Just An Extension Of The Trade War by wirinet(m):
Although your conspiracy theory sounds outlandish and outrageous, even if it's true, Trump is still to blame. Obama left an agent embedded inside the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to monitor any virus outbreak from China. Trump removed the agents just 6 months before the virus hit. If the agent was still there, Trump would have gotten first hand intelligence on whatever was going on in China and acted before it got put of hand.

You mean Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats would conspire with China to import a virus into the US that could possibly kill Nancy Pelosi herself, her family and other Democrats, just to spite Trump?

I forgot to add;
Right after the first case of coronavirus was reported in the US on January 21, Chuck Schumer called on Trump to immediately declare a state of emergency to prevent any outbreak in the US, what did your God do? Nothing.
Schumer calls on feds to declare coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency; - January 26, 2020 |
Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday urged federal officials to declare coronavirus a public health emergency in the US, so millions more in funds could be made available to fight the deadly bug.

The senator appealed to the Department of Health and Human Services to make the declaration in order for the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention to access $85 million that is allocated to fight infectious disease.

“Should the outbreak get worse they’re going to need immediate access to critical federal funds that at present they can’t access,” Schumer told reporters at his Manhattan office.

He said health officials will then be able to act quickly should the flu-like virus continue to spread in the country.

The media in the US is deliberately trying to suppress the news of several successful application of chloroquine to combat the coronavirus infection. Even Google is suppressing positive search results. You have to dig deeper before finding this news on Google. It's almost as if liberals have a vested interest in making sure the death toll from this virus is as high as possible.

The media cannot suppress anything. There are scientists that are specialised in the field, such as Micro biologists, virologists, epidemiologists, etc. They research claims and come out with their findings, which will help others in the medical profession cure their patients.

Coronaviruses had been with us for millenia, and will continue to be with us for millenia more. If a simple drug like chloroquine was the cure, believe, that would have been discovered before even it's use for malaria. It will not take a messiah in the mold of Trump to give us the revelation.

I have always said that there is a world wide medical scam in common flu and coronaviruses in general. The pharmaceuticals are raking in billions to sell a cure for a disease we all know is incurable. They sell all sorts of miracle cure for the common Cold, which a few days rest and immune boosting supplements will cure. I stopped buying all these rubbish over 20 years ago, eg actifed, procold, and lots more I can't remember now. They are all useless. Common Cold (flu) will kill those it will kill, but majority will survive it and move on, until the next infection. Same with covid19.

Even at 78 out of 80, that's 2.5% fatality rate, which is well within the average.

You guys behave as Trump's words equate to the koran and his worshippers must defend it with their lives. This is what the link said;
Also, the U.S.FDA has acted fast to make the unproven treatment available to thousands of COVID-19 patients in New York, despite the fact the following facts:

- The drug has not been thoroughly tested
- The initial results are just anecdotal
- Critics warn of potentially life-threatening side effects.
Even UK is weary of using the untested drug on its own citizens;
In the U.K., the government has prohibited the use of chloroquine outside of the trial but that position is now probably untenable since they have to explain why they aren’t providing treatment as France

Even someone with half a brain knows you didn’t make sense comparing malaria treatment with several options of treatment with Covid-19.
4 out of 5 were successfully treated and discharged in France in just 5 days and another 65 out of 80. That’s about 80% success rate in both instances which is very good and we are yet to record any fatality from those that took it with prescription.

Covid-19 will kill you if you don’t treat it and you tell people not to take a drug with over 80% success rate to get a life line. What’s the worst that could happen if you take it?

It’s simple logic but as expected liberals are not logical.
Are you autistic or just pretending to be? FDA and all medical professionals have stressed that "there are no vaccines or cure for coronavirus as of today", so where did you get the false information that 4 out of 5 patients were successfully treated with chloroquine in France. If it was true France will blow her own trumpet and not wait for Trump or you to blow it for them.
Coronavirus virus has a fatality rate of between 2 - 4%, so 4 out of 5 patients recovering is even above the fatality rate (assuming 1 out of every patient dies (that's an astounding 20% fatality rate). Most people that survived the coronavirus, did without taking any drug, except palliatives to alleviate symptoms and rest. So even if you take chloroquine, agbo, paracetamol or chalk, the fatality rate would not change from the traditional 2 - 4%. I even think chloroquine will worsen the fatality rate, due to adverse side effects of the drug, especially on people who had never taken it.

Zuorom:
You are mixing up things, there's a difference between clinical trials on a drug that has already been approved for human consumption and one on a trial drug that hasn't been used by human beings. What's happening with chloroquine is not trial and error. These are qualified medical personnel putting their medical knowledge to use to help people and they have been very helpful in saving a lot of lives and up to date, they have not recorded a single case of a patient showing adverse reaction after they prescribed chloroquine to them.
Which doctor is reported to have prescribed chloroquine or quinine for a coronavirus? Since we have been having coronaviruses, no doctor had every prescribed chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine for its cure.

I have been taking chloroquine and sometimes Quinine all my life as I am very susceptible to malaria. Any doctor will tell you that Quinine should be taken with caution, as it causes heart pulpertations. It can be very dangerous for people with heart problem or hypertension. Even me with a very good heart with no hypertension, when my doctor puts me on quinine, he makes sure he monitors my heart beat and pressure closely, not to talk of people with weak hearts.

Trump and his supporters prescribing drugs they know nothing about will kill more people that would have died from coronavirus. Coronavirus itself if not that fatal, it's fatality rate is between 2 -4% (with the exception of Northern Italy where other factors caused a relatively higher fatality rate).

Based on the advice of the Federal Ministry of Health and the NCDC, I am directing the cessation of all movements in Lagos and the FCT for an initial period of 14 days with effect from 11pm on Monday, 30th March 2020. This restriction will also apply to Ogun State due to its close proximity to Lagos and the high traffic between the two States.

35. All citizens in these areas are to stay in their homes. Travel to or from other states should be postponed. All businesses and offices within these locations should be fully closed during this period.

36. The Governors of Lagos and Ogun States as well as the Minister of the FCT have been notified. Furthermore, heads of security and intelligence agencies have also been briefed.

More on Dr. President Donald Trump's claims;
New study casts doubt on hyrdoxychloroquine’s effectiveness in treating coronavirus

In a prime example of why President Trump shouldn’t be endorsing any unproven potential treatments for the novel coronavirus behind the current global pandemic, a new small-scale study by researchers in China indicates that the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine actually isn’t any more effective than standard, existing best practice for conventional care of patients with the virus.

The study, which included 30 patients with a control of 15 who received no treatment, with the other half being treated with hydroxychloroquine, showed that there was a statistically insignificant difference in the number of patients who tested negative for the drug after a week. During the study, those who received conventional treatment were provided anti-virals that are currently recommended for use in China, including Iopinavir and ritonavir. After a week, 13 of the 15 control patients showed no sign of the virus, while 14 of the 15 who were treated with hydroxychloroquine showed the same.

Trump is obviously not a scientist or medical professional, and yet he has been touting the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine during the White House’s daily coronavirus task force press briefings, and on Twitter, including when he called for them to be “put in use IMMEDIATELY” on March 21. The drug can be lethal in doses that exceed physician’s guidance, however, and a Phoenix-area couple subsequently self-medicated with a form of chloroquine used for cleaning aquariums, citing the President’s information about it as the cause of their decision to take it.

I already analysed the claims of that link to show how stupid it looked, besides I did not see any advice to Donald Trump there.

In case you missed it, here it is once more;

Hydroxychloroquine has been used for around 70 years to treat malaria, rheumatic conditions and other ailments. Now its potential use in the fight against coronavirus has become a source of hope for many, following encouraging results from a clinical trial in France on Monday. But experts caution that there is still uncertainty about its effectiveness.


Didier Raoult, director of a university hospital institute in Marseille, explained that he had conducted a clinical trial in which he treated 25 Covid-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine. After six days, he said, only 25 percent of patients who took this drug still had the virus in their body. By contrast, 90 percent of those who had not taken hydroxychloroquine continued to carry the Covid-19.
This is the crux of the trial. 25 patients were treated with hydroxychloroquine, after 6 days only 25% ( meaning 6.25 people - I wonder how he could get 25% of 25 people) still had corona virus in their bodies.
Now answer these; what is the incubation period of the virus, and how long does an infection last?
What is the fatality rate of the disease and by how much did the hydroxychloroquine affect the fatality rate?

This study seems promising, but we have to be really careful before raising hope when it comes to a virus as new as this one, for which we don’t yet have a lot of data,” said Sarah D’Alessandro, a professor of molecular medicine at the University of Milan and a malaria specialist who has worked on hydroxychloroquine.

But when it comes to human trials, the picture is foggier. “Tests on human patients [except for malaria] have so far produced contrasting results that are difficult to interpret,” D’Alessandro observed.
This is the views of a malaria specialist who has worked on hydroxychloroquine.

A European programme of large-scale clinical trials was launched on March 12, aiming to test the effectiveness of four treatments that have already proven themselves against other viruses, such as Ebola. Hydroxychloroquine was not chosen.

Beware of Fraudulent Coronavirus Tests, Vaccines and Treatments

Because COVID-19 has never been seen in humans before, there are currently no vaccines to prevent or drugs to treat COVID-19 approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA is working with vaccine and drug manufacturers to develop new vaccines for and find drugs to treat COVID-19 as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, some people and companies are trying to profit from this pandemic by selling unproven and illegally marketed products that make false claims, such as being effective against the coronavirus.

These fraudulent products that claim to cure, treat, or prevent COVID-19 haven’t been evaluated by the FDA for safety and effectiveness and might be dangerous to you and your family.

They (Isreali govt) know very well that Corona virus is fast spreading in Nigeria. That's why they're evacuating their citizens. More developed countries will soon join the frey and evacuate all their citizens from Nigeria.
The number of persons possibly infected with covid 19 is far above what the bloody regime is dishing out to the public. How can South Africa have 700 + cases of those infected with corona virus and Nigeria have 81? This shows Nigeria's method of testing is grossly inefficient and very poorly done. With the way things are now, the situation is no longer about containing covid 19, it's now an outbreak no thanks to this incompetent fulani regime. They're grossly ill prepared to tackle covid 19.
Nigerians should try as much as possible to stay indoors and avoid unneccessary travels and visitations.
ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD!
And how will they know that corona virus is spreading faster in Nigeria than its speading in Israel? Have they established testing centres in Nigeria. How many people have died of coronavirus on Nigeria? 15 have so far died in Israel
Number of Israeli coronavirus cases surges past 4,000
Health Ministry reports 4,247 COVID-19 cases, 74 in serious condition; 15 Israelis have died from the disease — 3 in 24 hours

Israel did not evacuate it's citizens from Italy, the cemetery of the world, the Israel did not evacuate it's citizens from the US, the new capital of Coronavirus, it's NIGERIA that has recorded no coronavirus death ( except 1 from other complications), that they are evacuating from. The irony is that the Italian who brought the virus was cured in NIGERIA and has been discharged.

The number of Coronavirus cases in every country of the world is understated, because it depends on the number of people tested.


if the outbreak in Nigeria is because of this incompetent fulani regime, then this Fulani regime must be in charge of the US. The US has over 120,000 confirmed cases right now, and is expected to rise to a few millions within the next few weeks. The Fulani president said if only 100,000 to 200,000 dies as a result of the virus, they have done an excellent job. So the Israelis need to be evacuated to the US to experience the excellent job.

GalaticHorde:
no it doesn't, i require actual doctors assessments stating chloroquine as a cure for corona virus or maybe you misunderstood the gravity of your claims on its efficacy
Most Trump supporters are suffering from delusion. Some like the person you responded to has hallucinations and alternative reality added to his delusion. I don't know how one can read any of the links, he provided and reach a conclusion that chloroquine was tested, recommended or prescribed by any medical professional.
