I always pity these oil-producing states, they receive the short end of the stick.

They have been denied all dividends of having a valuable commodity, in a country where equity, justice and common sense is almost non-existent.

Drinking water, farms, rivers have all been polluted and NOBODY will demand a clean up from the oil spills, as long as their Babaringa is stuffed,

I recently watched Davido, Peruzzi and Duncan Mighty music video "Aza" and the first seven words of this comment says it best.

gypsey:
you are on your own on this your research or ideas mate!

You were able to correctly state the exact numbers (acording to you) on other deaths But stated 100000+ on corona deaths. well... 65000 people have already died in the US alone of corona, 35000 in the UK, Italy 30000. i will let you add the deaths in other countries all over the world then maybe come up with the real number, and oh! don't forget to add deaths in china and france.


Ciao!

Sometimes America has a way of doing things. Are you telling me there is no control built around the system? Most times they have problems with anyone dragging power with them in any continent in my opinion.

If not like back then why will they hold the CFA exam in Ghana and not hold in Nigeria even though most of the population in Ghana were from Nigeria?

Until recently, after so much talking that they started in Nigeria. Now it even increased the revenue because they have have two centres in Nigeria. You have to see the population here and the nice venue.

Exc2000:



each country needs to have a full policy document and piece of legislation on disaster management, this fire brigade approach is very stupid... we should set up a special fund in case things like this happens, because even after Corrona virus goes, Trump is hell bent on giving us another World War, and I doubt Trump vs China, Russia , Iran nuclear war wouldn't be more catastrophic than Corrona Virus, infact we should thank Corona virus for slowing down tensions between the western power bloc and the eastern power bloc

The sooner we start preparing for Lockdowns and War the better for us all, rather than making silly excuses of hunger , poverty and disease

Whats our excuse as Africans not to prepare, Isreal, Saudi and other middle eastern countries without good soil imported tonnes of fertile soil into their country and now produce more than enough agricultural product that they even export.

yet Africa with the resources are listening to insults from UNICEF saying blacks cant follow simple health guideline because they are lazy and hungry.. the sickening part is many people are already commending UNICEF for calling blacks hungry , lazy people who would prefer a plate of food to keeping healthy during dangerous pandemic

In 2020 white racist Unicef Directors still tells Africans , not to take simple health precaution because they are lazy , hungry poor and stupid, while the Unicef workers conducting this report had since travelled back through their various embassy in Nigeria to go to their own country to observe every health directives including lockdown

Buhari please end the lock down so that Kano and Jigawa people, lagos and ogun people can enjoy free movement and transmit whatever is killing them in hundreds across the entire country from SouthEast to SouthSouth and everywhere, Wike should also open the state borders and let Almajiri bring in food from Kano, last last na una without basic health insurance go suffer pass, Unicef people are already in their various countries 2nd week corona entered Nigeria, observing lockdown, Trump test all staffs and people close to him regularly, and once you are positive you can kiss the white house good bye, he isn't even travelling anymore for November election campaings

Unicef warns lockdown could kill more than Covid-19 as model predicts 1.2 million child deaths

'Indiscriminate lockdowns' are an ineffective way to control Covid and could contribute to a 45 per cent rise in child mortality'

The risk of children dying from malaria, pneumonia or diarrhoea in developing countries is spiralling due to the pandemic and “far outweighs any threat presented by the coronavirus”, Unicef has warned. 

In an exclusive interview Dr Stefan Peterson, chief of health at Unicef, cautioned that the blanket lockdowns imposed in many low and middle income are not an effective way to control Covid-19 and could have deadly repercussions. 

“Indiscriminate lockdown measures do not have an optimal effect on the virus,” he told The Telegraph. “If you’re asking families to stay at home in one room in a slum, without food or water, that won’t limit virus transmission.

“I’m concerned that lockdown measures have been copied between countries for lack of knowing what to do, rarely with any contextualisation for the local situation,” he said.

“One size fits no one. The objective is to slow the virus, not to lockdown people. “We need to lift our eyes and look at the total picture of public health.”

According to a stark report published in Lancet Global Health journal on Wednesday, almost 1.2 million children could die in the next six months due to the disruption to health services and food supplies caused by the coronavirus pandemic. 

The modelling, by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Unicef, found that child mortality rates could rise by as much as 45 per cent due to coronavirus-related disruptions, while maternal deaths could increase by almost 39 per cent. 

Dr Peterson said these figures were in part a reflection of stringent restrictions in much of the world that prevent people leaving their homes without documentation, preventing them from accessing essential health care services. 

In some countries the public are also avoiding hospitals and health centres for fear of picking up Covid-19, while services have also been diverted to focus on the pandemic. Vaccination campaigns against diseases including measles have also been disrupted - at least 117 million children worldwide are likely to miss out on routine immunisations this year. 

Dr Peterson warned that these trends have resulted in a reduction in the “effective utilisation of services” - a shift which, in some places, could be more dangerous than the virus itself.  And lockdowns have a heavy economic toll, which could trigger a rise in poverty and malnutrition.

The research looks at the consequences of disruption in 118 low and middle income countries, based on three scenarios. Even in the most optimistic case, where access to health services dropped by 15 per cent and child wasting rose by 10 per cent, an additional 253,500 children and 12,200 mothers died. 

But a worst-case scenario, where services are reduced by 45 per cent and the proportion of children who are wasting grows by 50 per cent, could result in 1.16 million additional child fatalities and 57,000 maternal deaths in just six months. 

The modelling projected that India would see both the largest number of additional deaths in children under five and maternal mortality, followed by Nigeria. Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania and Indonesia are also likely to be hit hard.

Such a situation has some precedent - research has shown that in 2014, during the Ebola outbreak in west Africa, more people died from indirect effects than the disease itself. But the scale of the pandemic means the consequences will be far greater. 

“Ever since we started counting child deaths and maternal mortality, those numbers have been going down and down and down,” said Dr Peterson. “And actually these times are unprecedented becausewe’re very likely to be looking at a scenario where figures are going up.

“That’s not from Covid - Covid is not a children's disease. Yes there are rare instances and we see them publicised across the media. But pneumonia, diarrhoea, measles, death in childbirth, these are the reasons we will see deaths rise,” he said. “These threats far outweighs any threat presented by the coronavirus in low and middle income countries.”

Dr Peterson urged countries not to impose draconian lockdowns, but to focus on identifying hotspots so that regional restrictions less damaging for public health can be introduced. 

He said he was concerned that the current battle against Covid-19 was turning into a “child’s rights crisis” and robbing a generation of their health, education and economic prospects.  

Launching the ‘Save Generation Covid’ campaign, Unicef’s largest appeal in its 73 year history, Sacha Deshmukh, executive director of Unicef UK, added: “This pandemic is having far-reaching consequences for all of us, but it is undoubtedly the biggest and most urgent global crisis children have faced since World War Two.

“We cannot allow almost a decade of progress on ending preventable child deaths to become undone on our watch.”

Imagine what is coming out from the mouth of an elder statesman; so if the US was to sanction Nigeria, does he think Nigeria would be able to repatriate the stolen monies? So what happens now? Should Buhari also do likewise, since we are saving for rainy days.. the man seemed honest but I am disappointed

gurunlocker:
Watch as NCDC give us a mad recording when they see this news.....


They will be sad that this might be the end to looting.

martineverest:
as in eh....Brazil,America and Russia are hotspot...south Africa has relaxed it's lockdown and she is having 1k new cases daily.

Europeans might be the first and only people to tackle this virus once and for all...I love their patience

CAUSTIC002:
Only God knows what is going on in the world, active cases are at its highest and increasing, yet most countries of the world are relaxing restrictions. ls there something they are not telling us?

Macphenson:
Good

OVB123:
... My brother, the young man is saying the truth. Until something is done to reduce the population in lagos state, i am afraid in the next 40 - 50 years to come, Lagos wil b a very difficult place to live in.

Asiri1991:
Just cede Lagos to Benin Republic and the tension is gone. You can't keep the whole nation in bondage because of a mere group or people with no social norm nor principles. The lifestyle in Lagos is disgusting. It's a sharp contrast to what's obtainable in Port Harcourt, Enugu, Abuja, Uno, Abakaliki, Benin City, Kaduna, Owerri or Ibadan. Why won't their numbers soar?

Do you know 55million people die yearly normally from diabetes, obesity, violence,poverty, natural deaths and other causes normally?

Do you know how long Coro will be with us,lockdown is not sustainable, we are a poor country, government is begging and borrowing up and down, are you not thinking of the death and deprivation that 80% of the population will be subjected to in further lockdown?

Coro kills less than 10% of those infected, some people immune can resist it, just like we are living with HIV anc co, soon Coro will be like that, our lives can not stop because of one virus. Lockdown for Lagos is a lazy approach, and not proportionate to the present threat. Lockdown does more harm than good in Lagos., time for lockdown has passed, the world is moving on with research, and management of the virus and the patients, lockdown is not sustainable, hence its good we learn to live with Coro now, while we look for ways to beat it.

jidamsel43:
This is most cheering news that I read today. Lockdown has not achieved any purpose in Nigeria. Before Lockdown, our positive cases in Nigeria was two-digits after lockdown it skyrocketed to four-digits 5000. Even after lockdown in Lagos , the cases has reduced compare to what Lagos used to record during Lockdown ( 100+ 200+) . Nigerian government should make Madagascar convid-19 organic cure available for everyone and normal life should be restored immediately.

No more lockdown!!!

Kallmerb:
personally I think all you wrote is total bulshit.... Have you even been around Lagos and see how people are transmitting the virus

Michael820:
if there are no people, then there is no economy..you see while it's true that the lockdown will harm the economy but have you ever consider no-lockdown can cause even more havoc

1. if we allow the virus to ravage our population we start to lose a big part of the working population which are the driving force of this economy which you want to save.

2. if people are dropping dead on the street in large numbers do you think people will still go to work, do you think its because of excessive force in Italy that's making people stay indoor or the fear of there lives.

3. this is a new virus that has no cure or vaccine, and we just getting to know how deadly it is.

don't you think trying to reduce its spread as much as possible is a wise decision?

FlordFlorez:
U lack enlightment on how things like this work. Whats now the essence of sample survey? Do u expect all the populance of Lagos to vote. Even during Nigeria presidential election, despite our large population of over 200millions only handful of 20millions vote (not online o, ballot voting) despite wayo voting o, manipulation of votes, etc. What am saying in ensence is that every group of people living in lagos are well represented online, mr man.

Farki:
Why the insults, are you really so bad at getting your point across like a reasonable adult?

I am simply explaining a reality you are trying to ignore, most of the people on the streets aren't following these rules, your insults won't change that.

If you fall victim don't complain, don't cry to the government don't cry to God, that's all I will say.

dederocs:
These people are foolish, all around the world they are opening up, stupid jobless youths like everyone to be locked up with them, stay inside fools, no one is forcing you out, why voting for lockdown when you can stay in your house...

huptin:
So you would rather destroy the economy of the country just because people aren't listening? What kind of shallow thinking is this for God's sake, cutting the nose just to spite the face? Is that even a strategy?

FlordFlorez:
The little on social media are representative sample. They all converge from every cranny & nooks of lagos state, mr man.

armadeo:
As at when I viewed the polls over 54% said to reinstate lockdown.

So dont be too sure.

Now be shocked as I was..

BeerParlour:
Then let's wreck the people instead of the economy.

Anyhow them do-am.
NA WE DEY HERE!

Openbusiness:
If this is true, that the LASG actually is conducting a lockdown vote on twitter, then it means the current LASG is the most stupid and critically insane government in the history of Lagos and in the whole Nigeria. For a start, how many blue-blood lagosians are on twitter, and how many lagos residents are on twitter? Twitter that is full of the most crazy psychopathic mentally-challenged frustrated 15yrs - under 30yrs youths in this country, children that don't have sense at all, that don't know anything other than to be doing useless challenge upandan, showing nudes, and posting stupid memes 24/7, concocting fake lies to trend, and creating the dumbest hashtags the world has ever seen, so this is the kind of audience that the LASG wants to base and put in their hands a critical State decision that will affect about 30 million people and more? What kind of madness is that? Mehn, this current LASG just dey fall hand all the time, One moment they perform a good initiative worthy of applause, the next moment they summersault and come up with the dumbest policies. It's almost as if lagos is like a car being driven by a drunk driver. Tueeehhhh!

iamoyindamola:
you think face mask can curb the spread

KingKingKing:
You are damn funny, Did you just say use facemasks? Don't you go out on the streets to see how non compliant Lagosians are? A lot of people do not value their lives thereby putting the lives of those who value their lives at risk!

The only language Nigerians understand is "Force" we gotta learn the hard way , we have sworn to be defiant and non compliant then we have to be locked up once again so as to protect those who are vulnerable from getting infected !

You also talk about the economy! Awww what a kind way to show how much you love the economy, ECONOMY MY FOOT! T
The economy u love so much is being manhandled by the ruling elits who plunder and loot from the proceeds of the economy, while the poor man on the street is left to die!

My parting words to you seun DO NOT WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT THE ECONOMY BECAUSE WHEN THE ECONOMY GOES DOWN , GOVERNMENT KNOWS HOW TO REVIVE THE ECONOMY, WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU LOVE BECAUSE WHEN THEY ARE LOST, GOVERNMENT HAS GOT NO CLUE ON HOW TO REVIVE THEM.

A HEALTHY LIFE IS A HEALTHY ECONOMY!
