Dumbs Trump.
He says so many meaningless things such that when one of them somehow becomes
partially correct, he can claim the glory.
If it goes wrong, he will deny it.

This is the same strategy used by our local fake pastors who release many inconsistent "prophecies".

sammyj:
The government should be careful because this information will let Nigerians go out just because of the sun and heat in this region. Hope this will not backfire!!

The headline is a lie and the body text have not been proven because nobody
has seen the research paper yet.
The same light and temperature claim was made in January which makes many people believe that the
disease will just disappear and will never get to Nigeria.

Wild media speculations.
Let us see the paper first.

Only the craziest of the crazies will implement such a suggestion.
This isn't a novel idea, printing notes to solve economic stagnation have been tried throughout history
and it never ends well, a famous example being the Weimer Republic.
There are many factors that must be in place including:
First, the country must be 99% technologically self-sustaining.

Second, the country must find others willing to do trade by barter in case of essential supplies
because no sane person will accept money with no known value business outside such a country.


Which African country has these securities?

What proponents of these methods don't realize is that they will end up destroying confidence in their
currency.
If 2 contractors were awarded two different projects with freely printed money, the net effect will be inflation
which means by the time the projects gets to 30%, about 5 times the initial cost may be needed to progress.

Also, they never tell us when they will stop printing more notes and how they will reverse the erosion of public confidence.
Perhaps, Kagame wants to create some Rwanda trillionaires overnight just like Mugabe.

Rivers state task force comprise of the Police, Soldiers and Government officials.

They couldn't have deliberately shot a police officer.

Edopesin:
common sense, We only need one person to confirm he knows any positive, dead or Alive

If someone makes the claim, you will believe him/her because they say so?
This means that common sense is actually foolishness

Iwillsurvivedis:
Also I read a report on yahoo news saying sunlight easily kills the virus and we all know that the sun in Nigeria can boil yam in the right circumstance.

Lying to endanger people's life.

Kindly donate to your new hero.

She is hungry

She is your hero and master.
You still believe whatever the lunatic tells you unless it applies to Ipob.

From FFK to Kemi to Kanu you are thrilled by their vituperations.

Why do you guys love to promote lunatics?

kikero:
Exactly.

Countries like Saudi Arabia and Libya(under Ghaddafi) operated by that policy. They are poor countries which appear rich because of high oil incomes and low populations.

If Saudi was 200-300million people in size, they would have been as broke as we are.

The problem with Nigeria is that Nigerians expect government to share money for them. Because...we are poor. The truth is, if we had invested the money we earned since independence in improving our productive capacity ie on power, rail transport, technical education...we might have been in a better place by now. Many of these our big men would have even been richer now

Our political foundation is faulty.
Politicians have been conditioning people for a long time that the primary function
of a government is to share money and politicians that don't are corrupt and failures.

Every political campaign is about sharing money or gifts.

Even on Nairaland, any topic about the economy devolves into "give me my share"

These people don' know that the money just serves as a means of exchange and have no
intrinsic value.
They don't know the real value lies in productivity and if you try to point it out, they lash out.
The worst is that the politicians have also fallen for the lies they have been telling people.

XANDERBOY85:
When you say 'you people' who are you refering to.....Igbos in general or IPOB?

If anyone said Igbos or IPOB were at some point cosying up to Sowore or Fani-Kayode, then maybe i'd agree. But a nonentity like Kemi...because she sits in front of her computer and says all sorts? I don't think so!

Ipob members have been worshipping Kemi for a while now.
They were everywhere on Facebook sharing her deranged theories.

Ipob has a strange love for mad people from any part of the country
as long as they say nasty things about the country.

Because there have been no meaningful intervention or policy to fight poverty.

Sharing money is not a sound economic policy.
If Nigeria's total population were less than 10 million,
sharing money would have masked the extreme poverty in the land.

Chapii:
CoronaVirus is not potent in this part of the world. We should stop all these deceit. Our weather does not support such diseases that is why US & others are earnestly waiting for summer for cases to naturally stop and they are talking of second wave of infection in fall/winter. Flu kills over 50 thousand in the US every year's but we don't know that here. Except for those that contracted the disease outside the country, local transmissions are insignificant and not potent. Lockdown has killed and will still kill 1000times more Nigerians than Covid 19. #endthelockdown

Another irresponsible fellow pretending to be smart.
Unfortunately, you are late to the frenzy, the summer conjecture has been
abandoned by most of your fellow travelers.
Go get new updates from headquarters.

I thought it is our dark skin or "stronger immunity"?

Liliantalks:
I wish I was cause they seem to be getting the best out of life

It is not too late to start.
You are not really a "good girl" as you think because you lack conviction in what you do.

A person should be good for their own sake not because they want to get married to a "rich man".
You can't be trusted to be stable under stressful conditions.

naijadefender:
Are those NCDC approved Nose masks...they look like panties......Gstring in particular.

Are you a doctor?

Did he really fool us?

SenecaTheYonger:
Into the trash with your opinion

I won't blame you, it is too hard for you to understand.

Osagyefo98:
Covid-19: Microbiology and Biochemistry lecturers and students are useless in Nigeria.

Covid-19 is an eye opener to what Nigeria universities train and excrete as Graduates.

This shows how the said PhDs , Masters teaching the same students are collectively useless.

Their mates are in the lab working tirelessly to save lives but the ones here are on strike for Ippis.

No wonder they are afraid of same students they graduate to treat them rather they ran to other civilisation.


The only they at good at is wearing white/ labcoat and be walking around university environment.

What an illiterate.
You don't even know the right specialties to address.

List the achievements of their "useful" mates regarding this coronavirus.
How have the "usefuls" reduced the deaths in their various countries?

SenecaTheYonger:
STOP THIS NONSENSE. STOP COPYING THE WEST AND OPEN UP THE ECONOMY WITH COMPULSORY FACE MASK AND SOCIAL DISTANCING.

THIS STUPID LOCKDOWN WILL NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING.

FAMINE IS COMING. GHANA HAD THE RIGHT IDEA TO OPEN UP BECAUSE LOCKDOWN DOES NOTHING.

YOU CANNOT REDUCE CORONA VIRUS TO ZERO, NOBODY HAS DONE IT, NOT EVEN WITH THE STRICTEST LOCKDOWN.

FAMINE IS COMING.

Stop typing in caps.
It is so convenient that you didn't tell us what other things that Ghana is doing.
No one is targeting zero figure.

Nigeria is not copying the west, if it was, it will wait for thousands of deaths before instituting a lockdown.

bigtt76:
The POS the mobile money agents are using are different from those of the bank issued POS terminals. The mobile money agents are actually communicating with their platform's infrastructure which has the option to debit your card and credit their bank account while they use the same POS to debit their wallet with the mobile money company.

So in essence, your card is being debited mimicking the same process you use to debit your card while carrying out an online web transaction whereas the conventional POS at the grocery stores work through a different path see below

Grocery Store POS
Customer ---> POS terminal ---> PTSP ----> Acquirer Bank ---> Card Scheme Operator --->NIBSS ---> Card Issuing Bank

Mobile Agent
Customer ---> POS Terminal ---> Mobile Money Operator --->Payment Service Provider ---> Acquirer Bank ---> Card Scheme Operator ---> Card Issuing Bank

That makes sense.
If the banks can't trace POS-wielding thieves, it is time to start phasing out those insecure POS.
At least, a POS should be able to record every transaction done on it and forward such to the banks
on a regular basis.

This is what you get when NMA is more interested in fighting Chinese doctors
rather than demanding for protective equipment and instilling professionalism in their members.

That said, only in Nigeria do doctors and nurses run away from their duties using one excuse or the
other. They display very little patriotism or pride.
Many of us know how they behave in normal times.

I hope we never have a real emergency on our hands.

frankson1:
Someone on this forum was strenuously trying to convince people why the lockdown should be lifted, with his reason being that the number of deaths from coronavirus is way more than the number of deaths from other areas.

Is that really his reason?

Powerintoxicate:
what a joke. Is the 15 percent not money? What happened to the billions of dollars made from oil? Like I stated even refugees in Europe get housing cheques food and even go to school free! Now a full blooded Nigerian gets nothing to stay at home in a period like this and you support the govt? You part of the people spoiling this country

It is not that hard to read the budget.
And the maths of oil is quite simple.
You don't need to speculate.
Nigerians are mostly illiterates when it comes to governance.

How do you know a country that can pay its citizens $1000+ for the lockdown?
Just check the GDP per capita

MansoryMX:
Almost 86% percent of Nigeria has no idea what Value Added Tax is! Even the educated ones who must have come across it during their school days. We pay VAT in almost everything we purchase in this country and still government is using excuse of Nigeria not paying taxes to keep people in Hunger, whereas every citizen at one point in time pay indirect tax. Billions of revenue are gotten from indirect tax in almost non perishable goods we consume. I weep for this country

Nigerians don't pay tax.

sweetmelanin:
"Conspiracy Theorist" is a term coined to discredit anyone who dares to think outside the box/question the lies we've been fed by the media for decades now..
People like you are easily deceived ... you are sheep and will eventually get yourself, your family and anyone else who thinks like you killed by your slave masters government.

You didn't actually think.
You copied and pasted what you read(hopefully) or see in a YouTube video.
There is a reason your masters specifically target you for disinformation the same way lion target weak antelopes.

doggedfighter:
Then why are they protesting the lockdown?
Are these dead bodies not related to any of the protesters?
Or are they not affected in any way?
This is heart-rending.
These are not mere statistics but humans

It is Trump cultists that are protesting because it has not affected a person they know.
If it affects someone they know, they will consider it a good sacrifice.

There is even one of them on this thread downplaying the figure that is actually considered low due to
non-inclusion of people who died at home.

If you understand the depth to which cult members will defend their leaders, then you shouldn't be surprised.

tescoman90:
@explorer please add in to your covik news

It should be noticed that the election is getting closer n you guys must know that the leftist or democrat are doing anything to create panic n dent the effort of Trump,.
You should know that the leftist owns virtually all media in the USA. And they are trying to push the "mailing -in- vote system" and one way to do so is to create panic among citizens not to come out n vote.
Please I implore you to take any news you get with an Eagle Eye. For example try n check the source or Author ......... Check for any statistical data from a reliable source.

Thank you

Nothing moves a Trump cultist.
Not even an epidemic with high mortality rates.

Well, it will be blasphemous to malign the Jesus' incarnate in the white house.

sulaak:
A man that has screwed his country and now burying the news by attacking immigrants and Iran. This man is scum and will lead the USA to total ruin.

The film Wag the Dog comes to my attention.

Many Nigerians are obsessed with incompetent Trump.
On WhatsApp and Facebook, Nigerians are everywhere praising the conman.
If you challenge them to list his achievements, they call you a hater or deflect to Buhari.

Brymmo29:
The president that has his country and people at heart, not like someone that sacrifices his troops because of dirty politics, that why I love nationalist. Their country first

Yeah. That is why they are dying in thousands and he wants to forcefully end lockdown.

What's the meaning of this?

Many of them are drivers and you can spot trucks too

A working driver must be receiving a salary and hence not hungry.

bigtt76:
Your PIN is stored on the chip encrypted but your other bank details are not unlike the mag stripe cards.

The POS you're using is not connected to your bank and would be a waste of time for it to first connect to your bank to verify it first before allowing you to proceed with your transaction.

If you can, anytime you go to a grocery store for purchase, try paying with your card on the POS and after entering your PIN watch to see what happens after you enter your PIN and the message 'PIN CORRECT' is displayed

I get your explanations.

But a few times I entered incorrect pins at money mobile agent terminals, they don't know my pin is incorrect until a response is obtained from the network. Are the machines too slow that I have to wait as long as required to carry out an actual transaction?

It is time to disband POS terminals that verify pins offline because they create "perfect crimes" opportunities for criminals.

I think the same process is obtained at ATM terminals, it doesn't tell you invalid pin until you send a transaction for
processing.

easzypeaszy:
its easier fr bank to gv u loan Dan POS... But fintech can gv u loan within somtims

You are not familiar with Nigerian banks.
Some have large dedicated teams which try to convince people with small businesses to accept POS
especially to render small banking services.

As for loans, that is not another story.
