You speak from both sides of the mouth: on one hand,
you're trying to sound like you're on the side of the masses with the "feudal leaders you worship" line. On the other hand, you're twisting yourself with the "life is not fair...if the parents bla bla bla". It's double-speak people like you who stand for nothing that are the problem of this country.
I have taken a stand to stand with the parents who are being exploited and with the hapless kids of the poor who shouldn't be left behind....What do you stand for?

Reference:
What happens to their counterparts overseas, the children of your feudal leaders you worship, fight, abuse and kill for who will soon resume their schools in Europe and America and be spirited out of the country using tax payers funds, your money. Will you be able to stop them resuming and gaining a career advantage over your kids....

Life is not fair we all agree but you can level the playing field by demanding good governance and not buying into the sentiment the leaders so desire to hold the nation captive. I hope the resumption of schools whenever that happens will not be centralised so that states that have worked hard to keep safe are not undermined and held back by poorly governed ones.

The best way to conquer this pandemic is to decentralise the fight in Nigeria. No one should hold the other back. Let the private schools be abeg. If parents want their kids educated better why should you stop them.

I support the government on this. These Shylock Lagos private school owners will stop at nothing to exploit.
Let parents at least use this lockdown period to bond with their kids. Let the kids learn other things like crafts, domestic chores, etc. Let them be revising what they've been taught before, or let them just play.
We run a unified academic calendar at primary and secondary level. So, if they conclude their term online, so what happens to their counterparts in government schools?

Very pedestrian analysis. Why didn't you address the other equally key issues of hunger and conflict? It takes less than a minute for a bullet to extinguish life out of the healthiest person, it takes 3days for hunger to kill a human, it takes 14days for corona virus to even begin to manifest symptoms with a 95% recovery rate. You're a pseudo intellectual because you're too lazy to task your brain to carry out holistic analyses.

Powerintoxicate:
who's a pseudo intellectual? You definitely don't know what you saying. Ghana opened up like you suggesting and did you see their numbers? This is a war situation as the difference here is we battling a disease. You guys don't understand what you all writing here. The NMA has advised for a an extension. You don't have a say in this matter. Are you a doctor or a nurse? If shit spreads can you treat anyone? Only doctors and nurses have a say here cos they'll be in the Frontline when shit hits and they've advised for an extension. So go sit down your opinion is useless

Shut up. All these pseudo-intellectuals. The three afflictions of hunger, disease and conflict are equal in potency. None is superior.
Conflict is closely tied to hunger, which is why the crime rate may lead to total anarchy in the coming days if the lockdown persists. You can write this now because you have some little funds to go on for a little while, well for many others, they don't!
A smart solution is to open up the economy while enforcing needed restrictions like continuing the ban on large gatherings like parties, churches, mosques, etc. Step up testings, enforce use of facemasks and hand gloves, disinfect public places, etc.

Powerintoxicate:
They are not well informed. Tell them if they want to go out they are free to go to New York or Italy and roam around freely since they don't understand the situation the World is in at this time. Rubbish

I live in Lagos and I can tell you for a fact that the poor in Lagos feel no anger towards these politicians. Rather, they have deep seethed hatred for educated working-class people who they perceive as "the rich" . They are waiting for any slight breakdown of law and order to attack and vent their anger on innocent fellow strugglers who just happen to be educated and more refined.
The politicians can loot them blind, the poor lagosians won't feel any anger.

Stop threatening him. He said the truth. Disease, starvation and conflict are peers, none is superior to the other. What we have is a catch-22 situation: the disease is here with us, continuing the lockdown as a way of curtailing the disease is choosing hunger and invariably conflict. This is counterproductive because then, all three will afflict us. But if we open up the economy and lift the lockdown, we would have put hunger and conflict at bay, which puts us in good stead to tackling the disease. There are alternatives to lockdown - you can still ban parties, religious gatherings, concerts and large assemblages, you can disinfect public places, enforce use of face masks and sanitizer, etc.

Digmygold:
Your "WATCH THE COUNTRY BURN" threat could get you arrested .Dont think they cant trace you and get you arrested just because rhis is a faceless forum. Better you watch your words. All those giving you likes now will be the ones to mock you first when you get arrested.

Which 2020? Abi OP do you have a different 2020?

The government can't do any of these three things.
You know that, I know that.

globalresource:
3 things needed from the Government (FG (mostly)and States)

And we should be transparent, proactive and accountable for once

1. Massive Testing

2. Palliatives to assist citizenry (set aside politics and ethnicity for once and get this right)

3. Tight security of lives and properties

Say me hi to my dad. It's been over 21 years without you dad. We miss you

My thoughts exactly

Tpharell:
There would likely not be a normal anymore but a new normal as mankind adjusts to manage the infection. This thing will likely not go away or be eradicated quickly or soon, but the contagion will eventually become manageable for the developed world but add to the disease burden of poor countries like malaria, polio, cholera, etc. sounds quite gloomy but that's what is starring us in the face.

"you even congratulated her for settling into a home" so,
it has to be fake news because you congratulated her? who the fvck are you?
Your congratulations don't mean jack. All these marriage-obsessed Nigerians

scoundrel:
I hope this is #FakeNews. I remember the report of her union like yesterday. I even congratulated her online for settling into a home. This is sad if true.

I already saw someone talking about domestic violence and leaving a marriage to stay alive.
Why must that be what comes to mind when you guys hear the word 'divorce'?
Most divorces especially of Nigerians's in the diaspora are caused by the woman's infidelity.
Nigerian women are natural cheats, they are just stifled by the environment here, but when they go abroad where things are more liberal, their true nature comes out!

Vanity upon vanity...

WE CLEARED BOKO HARAM FROM NIGERIAN TOWNS: THEIR SOLDIERS REFUSES TO TAKE OVER - CHADIAN PRESIDENT. - NEW YORK TIMES

“We want the Nigerians (troops) to come and occupy, so we can advance,” President Déby complained in an interview at his palace last week. “We’re wasting time, for the benefit of Boko Haram,” he added. “We can’t go any further in Nigeria. We’re not an army of occupation.”
According to New York Time, “a small-country president cleaning up a far bigger and richer one’s mess”.

Déby showed no hint of triumphalism. Instead, he was frustrated, impatient: His men were stuck, still awaiting any sign of Nigerian forces who could come to take over.

He does not want to be holding Nigerian territory, he said. He wants to be on the move to give Boko Haram more Blows.

My take: it is futile expending valuable resources and energy trying to prevent it's spread. The only way this can go away is when a cure is found and/or a vaccine developed.
The sheer ease of transmission and infection makes mockery of all these "quarantine", "isolation", "social distancing" and other terminologies brandished by authorities as a way of demonstrating they are doing something.
How long will national economies and the general world economy sustain a lock down? 2weeks?, 1month? 3months?
Like malaria and HIV, corona is something we all have to come to terms with as another disease that has come to stay. All these initial gra gra of locking down will soon fizzle out.

Too long, I didn't read

All these delusional Nigerian ibo Christians. Who told you Donald Trump is a christian? Donald Trump is a white supremacist racist who doesn't recognize you as a christian simply because you are black. Donald Trump is as bad as Buhari, same fanatics, same racist.

Righteousness89:
I Have said here That Chloroquine will work on people not Because it is Chloroquine but Because It involves President Donald John Trump...

There is a Serious war Going on.. The War Against the World Inhabitants!

President Trump is a Hinderance to what they wanna do..

From this week they are gonna unleash all sort of lies and propaganda against Trump. The Motive is to Ensure he is Not Re-elected! Almost all News Media have been selected for this ...

It's a Huge War. It's the Nwo and Globalist against vs Donald Trump, the Nationalist and those against The Nwo.

As The Believers Worldwide lift up our voice to Heaven. GOD Almighty the owner of Wisdom give Wisdom to president Trump to handle this affairs.

Don't say you are in Nigeria, it does not affect you.. They are not after President Trump, they are after you and I.

President Trump Presidency is a Mercy Period for the World...

Pray For President Trump

Three bombings or multiple bombings... Not three multiple bombing. Three is multiple

Odingo1:
Call for investigation instead of swallowing everything thrown to you. Three multiple bombing in small space of time.

...failed to equip not "failed to equipped"

truthfulparrot:
Covid19 does not discriminate between the poor and the rich .
There is no running abroad for treatment. The Rich.and the poor will share bed spaces in the same hospitals that our politicians failed to equipped over the years
Good health to all of us!

So, at other points where do you put your trust?

stephenonyx:
God in heaven, at this point in time, it's only in you I put my trust.

I said it before: This is the new format for covering up murder in Nigeria. Simply kidnap and kill your victim, liaise with one shady hotel, procure and conspicuously display an assortment of sex drugs, take pictures and splash all over social media... To make it more believable, arrange one prostitute to narrate how it all went down.

You are so insensitive, you have to still marriage-shame even a deceased person.
Your obsession with marriage is what will lead to Your Own death.

She was busy making money and advancing her career.

Didn't even have time for love.

Little wonder she's single at 47.

I think it's time I deleted Facebook and WhatsApp.

They had better come up with something better

Why does ethnicity mean so much to Nigerians? I conducted a social experiment spanning 6years (2013 - 2019): during that period, I declined answering the "where are you from"? Question.
Every new acquaintance I met during that period refused talking to me further.
The irony is that, everyone claims they are not tribalistic, yet cannot let it go if you refuse to "disclose" your tribe!

Typical Nigerian always trying to play the sarcasm card as a substitute for real intellect. Please run along and join your fellow simple-minded country fellows in posting jokes and motivational quotes on social media. My comment is above your IQ pay grade.

wirinet:
You see enough clues from the video to conclude murder and prove the case beyond reasonable doubt in a law court. You must be greater than sherlock Holmes and Einstein put together.

There is a plethora of motives: he was a lawyer who took on cases, let's start from there. I haven't seen the toxicology report, and I know you haven't too. No one has. All we have is a salacious video. You are so inclined to accept the video as the gospel. The video tells me nothing, rather, I see lots of clues and loopholes. But you're a typical Nigerian, simple minded and gullible,
too lazy to prod... Eager to do the "Lets just leave it like that"

wirinet:
You already find the hooked guilty even before Police concluded their investigation? You making an accusation of murder, do you even know what that means. Are you aware that someone is deemed innocent until proven otherwise and not the other way as practiced in Nigeria?

To prove murder, you have to first prove pre meditation, then prove motif and then provide the murder weapon. So sherlock Holmes, what's the motif - theft/robbery or jealously? What's the murder weapon - the found aphrodisiacs? I am sure you have seen the toxicology reports. Have the men you deem as accomplices been interrogated and locked up?
