Large crowds at Lagos food market despite lockdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC83OEOEz3o AP Archive 2.54M subscribers Published on 23 Apr 2020 A large Lagos food market has been struggling to manage crowds amid Nigeria's coronavirus lockdown. Mile 12, the megacity's largest perishable food market, was yesterday crammed with traders and shoppers elbowing their way through narrow paths sandwiched by huge baskets of tomatoes, with little social distancing in sight. Femi Odusanya, consultant for the market association, said the challenges were "enormous," and called for the government to "do more to make sure that we keep people safe and (...) at home." Under a government intiative, the management have set up an offshoot makeshift market in Ogudu, in an attempt to reduce crowds by bringing the produce closer to the communities they serve. But as desperation mounts, delivery trucks have come under attack, food items stolen and vans damaged. For Lagos' poor, the priority is getting food onto the table. "People must eat. I strongly believe that hunger is much more dangerous than the coronavirus so we must do our best to ensure that people get food to eat," said the market association's chairperson Shehu Usman. Nigeria has confirmed 873 COVID-19 cases and 28 deaths. For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death. |

Approving another 14days with little or no palliatives is suicidal!!! Instead look for alternatives like provision and enforcement of gloves and mask!!! Nobody will listen to you when they are hungry!!! |

If we have a serious government, after this pandemic, there shld be a comprehensive registration of Nigerians through National Identity Card with mandatory registration of birth and death persons online without it no medical, education etcetera while nobody will bury any death with an electronic or offline certificate. With this government can plan almost accurately when the need arises; but we all know such will never happen courtesy of the NORTHERN PART. 2 Likes |

Personally, I do not think open markets like this are that bad. Even though it may seem that there are a lot of people, most people just come, buy what they want and go away. The fact that it is open air and not a closed air condition environment also helps. My opinion is that people come, move and go away, it is not really a static situation where the same set of people stay together for 2 hours. |
Re: Large Crowds At Lagos Food Market Despite Lockdown by Pierced(f): 11:31am On Apr 23, 2020 |
Arrewa: That market is dominated by northerners.......like 80 percent of traders there are northerners. |

After seeing this, one would think that there's going to be thousands of infections spreading around. These infected persons will go home and then infect their entire households. If the virus is as deadly as MSM want us to believe, It should be the case that we will be hearing about thousands of deaths in the next few weeks. But guess what, that's not going to be the case. Why is it "ok" to go to the market but not safe to go to work or a restaurant? I read this morning that the PTF head said that the virus cannot be transmitted sexually. I'm wondering why it is safe to have sex but not safe to shake hands. But surely, when things don't add up and we ask questions, they call us "conspiracy theorists" just to dismiss our pov. 3 Likes |

Arrewa:When hunger strikes people would pay less attention to education We need to go the Ghana/Kenya route of restricted movement without totally shutting our economy. The government cannot feed half of Nigerians, even if they wanted to. |

Bevista:Before you turn to conspiracy theories, be sure to first ensure the source of your information is a sound one to begin with. Yes, it is not sexually transmitted but be sure that inhaling/ingesting droplets from an infected sexual partner will get you quick onto the list of Covid-19 cases out there. |

Re: Large Crowds At Lagos Food Market Despite Lockdown by Bevista: 9:47pm On Apr 23, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:Really? A virus that is so contagious that I have to maintain a 6-foot distance from everyone. I can't shake hands, let alone sneeze around someone. But then, I'm free to engage in coitus interactus which is the closest one can get to another without contracting the virus. So I can exchange fluids (semen, saliva, etc) with another person without being at risk? So, why then are you scaring me with the whole social distancing crap? --- "I'd rather be called a conspiracy theorist and question everything, than to believe everything the government says, and live to regret it" - Hank |

From the video, we can now see that the buyers are actually the ones behaving like animals. see how jammed-packed the market appears? the buyers not even minding the virus doing as if they are shopping for free! Pierced: |

Bevista: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Let me try this another way for your thick oblongata!!! If you so much as inhale or ingest the dropplets from anyone infected by this virus, you are IT! Now, please properly process this and get back to me that you now have a clear understanding of how what you have above is not correct! |
Re: Large Crowds At Lagos Food Market Despite Lockdown by eagleu: 4:25am On Apr 24, 2020 |
Arrewa: How do you compare social distancing issues between people desperate for food, and the above-the law northerners whose 19 governors have rejected social distancing as a tool against this virus. BTW, your educated northerners are the ones going to COVID-19 funerals and going home without any sort of personal protective equipment. |
Re: Large Crowds At Lagos Food Market Despite Lockdown by Bevista: 4:59am On Apr 24, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:Before you resort to your typical mode of defense - insults, maybe you'll have to explain to me how shaking of hands is dangerous but sex isn't. Does my hand inhale or ingest? Or is there a new technology that makes sex possible by staying 6-feet apart? |
Re: Large Crowds At Lagos Food Market Despite Lockdown by Kobojunkie: 5:09am On Apr 24, 2020 |
Bevista:I don't resort to insults. I simply point out clear deficiencies in the one's reasoning. ![]() ![]() ![]() Who told you having sex with an infected COVID-19 case is not dangerous? Are you able to have sex without breathing? If you kiss and ingest saliva containing the virus, why are you still coming up blank on what that likely means for you then since saliva is a sense an ocean of DROPLETS ![]() ![]() ![]() What part of this virus infecting the respiratory system do you not understand? Do you ever touch your face(mouth, eyes, nose, etc) with those same hands of yours anytime after shaking or touching possibly infected surfaces? Do you, at any point, eat anything with those same hands of yours? Did you know that your mouth and lungs are sort of connected in a way? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
