First, heal yourself of insanity.
Then we will take you seriously.

LearnITsmash:
Nigeria is a joke

Say something intelligent for once.

Grace001:
Enforcement won’t work If them like make them withdraw all soldier from Borno , by the time people start getting starved they will go out and find a means to survive

People who are already going through tough time are now begging on Nairaland dropping their acct # and you still think this stay at home will work.

Enforcement always works.
Do you think food fall from the sky and people will simply get it when they go out?
Some people grow it, some transport it and some retail it.
All government needs to do is control all the logistics and distribution processes.

What's the use of money if there is nothing to buy?

visijo:
If you smoke and your partner smoke, that relationship is called "Ashes to Ashes"


Can any good thing come out of Nigeria visijo?

Fixed

Corrinthians:
The truth is that lockdown can never really work in Nigeria. We dont have whatbit takes to accomplish that.

It has nothing to do with Nigeria but the unserious government.
You can't advise people to stay home and assume they would,
it must be followed by enforcement.

The warning is timely but the government takes a big chunk of the blame.
People are still traveling out of Lagos while lockdown is in place.

Conspiracy theorists with public face are allowed to freely spread fake news without consequences.

There will always be people who don't care about their lives but it is up to the government to enforce safety measures.

seborrhic:
Today will be the last day of the 14days lockdown period in Lagos,Abuja and Ogun state,yet there is no statement by the same FG or specifically the president whether the lockdown has been extended or ended.
This uncertainty would make it a free for all tomorrow:people would go out, assuming the lockdown has ended and the law enforcement agents would on the other hand be apprehending commuters,transporters,traders,workers claiming the lockdown is still in force.

You are uninformed, the lockdown continues.

Lagos and Ogun must do something about these jobless criminals or else the future will be hot.
In normal times, they are pickpocket and traffic robbers, it is due to the lockdown
that they diversified into armed robbery.

praiseneo:
Abulegba needs security ASAP please help us

Call the police.

enemyofprogress:
it is still better than staying behind in Nigeria

Unpatriotic element.

SciLab:
The US embassy said that it is those health professionals who have already applied for H-1B visas and gotten it that are welcomed not just physicians. Americans even called back some of their retired Clinical Laboratory Scientists to help perform more than 2 million Covid-19 tests and these group of people are in the age group that are susceptible to the disease.

The Nigerian government should double what it pays all health professional across board and give them life insurance.

Even if Nigeria triple the pay, it will still not measure up to foreign wages.
No country pays wages based on another's standard, wages are set based
on economic output.
Nigerian engineers and accountants earn Nigerian salary grade but you hardly see them blackmailing
the government.

Period007:
Every month we keep hearing Nigerian doctors are leaving yet there are still a whole lot of them around either jobless or underpaid.
Abeg let us hear word,Every one wants to leave Nigeria not just Doctors.

Because not all of them qualifies for foreign practice.
Yes, doctors are still leaving.

humilitypays:
Why should a Nigerian doctor or nurse remain in Nigeria


Nigerian hospitals pay nurses between NGN50,000 - NGN120,000 a month, which is less than $150 - $300 for a whole month under poor working environment and conditions, whereas their colleagues abroad earn between $3500 - $6,000 monthly, tell me why a Nigerian nurse should remain in Nigeria

Stop worshipping money.
Be content!

woleiticx:
Those escaped Chinese guys must have quickly gone to install something harmful somewhere before they return back to join the other crew members. Corona virus can be concealed in a container and released into the air where people live or pass by. Why did they escape in the night and quickly returned back.

I don't trust these people. Any plot to increase the rate of covid-19 in Lagos and Nigeria will fail. We wait and see.

We are a praying nation and our prayers have always worked for us. We shall overcome corona virus in Jesus name.

Stop lying.
The escapees are Nigerians who work with Airpeace.

CrestMan:
You can watch Pastor Chris Oyakhilome right now for a life transforming Easter program. Time is 6pm.
You can also connect online through the LIVETV MOBILE APP!

No one takes that scammer seriously anymore.

LagosWahala:
Maybe I should be clearer.

What I meant there is that none of them actually disembarked from the aircraft or touched Chinese soil, which Air Peace has come out to confirm.

This follows global best practice for COVID 19 as being done by all airlines still flying this kind of missions.

Okay.

visaland:
The Conditional Cash Transfer program which was said to be an intervention program initiated by President Muhammadu Buhari has so far been said to have shared billions of Naira to Nigerians.



The program which started in Kwali, Abuja was confirmed to have empowered many households in various states.

Payments of N20,000 were being made to the poorest and most vulnerable households in Nigeria.

Another sick liar.

LagosWahala:
The last public one before this was Tunisia, and to the best of my knowledge the same crew that flew out brought the jet home.

China was different crews but they all left from Lagos together.

So no sleepover chance to catch Coro.

You don't need to sleepover to catch the virus, it can survive on ordinary surface for several
hours. The cabin is not some kind of bunker, they weren't on hamza suits and I am certain the crew interacted with the materials
being loaded at some point.

They should have been quarantined or isolated from the public.

RuudVanNisteroy:
You live in a false reality.

I lived in Nigeria for 16 years, so I know what is going on ground. Nigeria has no government and every man is left to fend for themselves.

No. You don't.
You suffer from the village boy syndrome.
When you move someone from a ghetto to a metro, they experience such a huge shock
that it could damage their psyche.

You provide your own water, electricity,security,when the transformer stops working,everyone in the neighbourhood has to contribute money to fix it, even the road on my street we had to contribute money to fix it,and pay for your own education.

No, you don't.
Most of you are too poor to even feed yourself let alone provide your own water and electricity.
What you describe will be a libertarian fantasy where everyone provides their own needs without
government input.

Nigeria is a failed state and only benefits the politicians, even the rich are feeling the heat because they know they are not safe either.

More gibberish.
Politicians are a major beneficiary of any form of government.

The Nigerian state has spoiled its over 200 million citizens so much that some
of you think you deserve to be paid for just being a Nigerian.

Nigeria is not a failed state.
Don't just throw words around because you see someone else using it.
Even if we are to accept the dubious definition of "failed state", Nigeria
isn't even close.

If you doubt me, try to take over a state or region and see how long you would last.

Those countries you admire so much aren't built by entitled, escapist and negative-minded folks.

We know the misanthropes who are angry with such news.
They are angry because they expected thousands of deaths but are seeing few.

Hence, they decided to claim that the virus is not in Nigeria.

RuudVanNisteroy:
What is true and what is a lie in the alternate reality you live in?This country is in a big mess and further sliding into the abyss.

You live in a negative reality where everything is bad here and everything is good in your adopted paradise.
This wouldn't have been a problem except that it is other people's fault while you and your goons bear no
responsibility and are innocent.

If there is a faint rumor that something bad just happens, you guys will quickly post and share it to gain attention.
But if the reverse is the case, you will doubt, prevaricate and twist the story just to satisfy your biases.

What have you achieved with the negativity?

omonnakoda:
By that measure donkeys and cows are more hardworking than humans

Yes, some donkeys and cows are more hard working than humans.
That isn't a controversial statement.

However by my measure hardwork is defined by value added/output.
A striker is there to score goals period. That is how his value is measured
Work is measured ultimately in Naira and kobo (I am talking of legitimate work)

Not necessarily.
Naira and Kobo has no intrinsic value.
Work can be measured in food and accommodation as is the case with some apprentices and laborers.

By your definition, the richer a person is, the harder they must have worked.

If I invest my money in treasury bills and do nothing after, am I still working hard?

Tetrahedron:
Lol guess they didn’t want to be in the same quarantine with the chinkos.

The wife must also have warned them, if you mix with the chinkos forget coming back to this house.

Am betting they weren’t aware that they too will be quarantined


But alt look at how the Nigerian govt belittled and humiliated the NMA by going ahead to bring foreign doctors to practice in the country!

If the NMA should go on strike now people will be saying thrash

The Chinese are in Abuja while the pilots are based in Lagos, so no sharing of
quarantine space.

Nigeria's government did not import foreign doctors even though there is nothing wrong with it.
What do you think will happen if every country started rejecting foreign professionals?

Those Chinese doctors are being funded by CCC construction company.

It is time we do away with inferiority complex.
The fact is that Nigerian doctors are not exited about interacting with potential
Covid carrier let alone real cases.
I have seen how they react first hand.

NMA should face real issues affecting doctors such as wages and equipment and
stop chasing shadows.

Dumb pilots.
Go home and infect your wife, mothers, and fathers.


This begs the question.
Have Airpeace crews been freely mixing with the populace after their previous foreign flights?

Perkins2018:
The northerners engage in hard work because they are not educated and not trained in any work. This they beat everyone including the igbos. Do you want to argue that?

Your question is irrelevant and you are derailing the thread just as the OP.

No one is disputing who works "hard" here, Mexicans work "harder" than Americans,
but that is not a true measure of economic prosperity.

zionmde:
yeah hardworking can never measure economic prosperity I don't doubt dat. But I love d mentlity of "Don't be lazy at all at all na e bad pass"

I don't think any sane person will find laziness endearing whether in themselves or in others.
But you will see is people making assumptions about strangers.

Is a nail cutter trekking kilometers daily to find prospects more hardworking than a person who arbitrage at a weekly
local market?

My point is that laziness and hard work are not always black and white.

omonnakoda:
Hardwork needs to be defined
What does it mean?

Grinding corn with stones ?
Fetching water with buckets?
Cutting grass with machetes
Farming with homes?
Is C Ronaldo hardworking?
Are nurses hardworking?
Are Oloshos hardworking?

Hard work could mean different things but in this context, the definition can be implied from the OP's comment.
When people talk about hard work in relation to Northerners, they
are referring specifically to jobs that require the heavy or long-term exercise of muscle.

Examples include pushing carts and clearing bushes.

If it involves more of moving muscles and little of brainwork, then it is hard work.

zionmde:
yeah
am using Lagos as a focal point
and any true sample test conducted should have Lagos as a well spread center
An average northerner is more hardworking dan a westerner
As for Lagos, Igbos dominate in those handiworks u mentioned
d same way Yorubas dominate Taxi driving in PH

Better don't instill such harmful philosophy on your children
or they will end up in poverty.

Hard work has never been a measure of economic prosperity and it is getting
relegated more and more as AI takes over mundane tasks.

Lipscomb:
I'm a Yoruba man but only a fool will think hausa people are lazy.

So only Yoruba people are doing Agbero... that's laughable igbo,edo, and other ethnic doing agbero too.

Hard work does not translate to economic prosperity.
