COVID 19 is real. My problem is that the number of cases are under estimated because we lack testing kits. A country of over 200 million people are struggling to complete 1500 tests everyday. Invariably, it will take us over 360 years to test every Nigerian. I pray that vaccines come to our aid. If not, the OP will soon know himself as a COVID 19 victim. Stay safe friends. 3 Likes |

Is it until it start afecting our loved one before we start to believe. If you're waiting till then, you're no longer save cos it might wipe our your entire family @op. Stay safe, corona virus is fvcking real. Do u think the govt like the way the commercial centre of Nigeria is locked down ni. Wise up. Coro no dey look face 2 Likes |

Do I know anyone who has died of COVID-19? Unfortunately yes, lost a co worker within 6 days after he became ill. It made the reality of the situation very lucid. Do I know anyone who has tested positive? I know several. At a point a third of our hospital staff were in isolation. Over 18,000 people (probably underreported) have died in the UK from COVID-19. Is COVID-19 in Nigeria? Trust me it is and it is grossly underreported. Don't play with your life. Stay safe 7 Likes |

Like seriously?? God help us! We keep praying Nigeria never really finds itself deep in such real hopeless crisis situation like other worse hit nations. There wouldn't be enough time for people to even retrace their steps. Wisdom and caution is the principal thing. Even if it turns out not to be true, isn't it better off taking every precautionary measure just in case one is wrong? 2 Likes |

Wao, I have been sitting here reading comments on this ridiculous topic and I told myself: how much environment can impact and shape us even when we are educated. Firstly, the question raised is most unnecessary. Secondly the reasons given by the OP to support his argument are not only laughable but preposterous. Third the premise he struggled to establish is irreconcilable with his argument. And then I ask myself how on earth did this OP reduce to this level? I could only find an answer when I recalled an experience I had years ago. While in Dubai, I visited a pharmacy and asked to buy a particular medicine. The guy, guess he is a pharmacist, handed it to me. After examining it, I asked a question: "Sir, I hope this original?" The guy stepped forward and requested I repeat the question, and I repeated myself. The next question he asked me was "sir are from Nigeria?". "Here we don't sell fake drugs, we get our drugs direct from the factory. And then I suddenly realized I was not in Nigeria I almost wept as I paid and left the pharmacy. Now why did I ask that question? Because of my unfortunate experience in my beloved country. Being someone who suffers from malaria regularly, I have been a distraught victim of fake drugs. So any where I go I try to ask and ask to be sure that I have been given the "original" medicine. From the comments I have read so far, many, I mean many here are responding the way they do because our environment has so impacted us that they can even doubt an angel. Even if some die-hard doubters visit the Isolation centres, their mind having been seared with unforgiving doubts will still not believe. This is very sad, very sad indeed. Do you know how much a government loses by the lockdown? The figures are staggering. What is 50m Euro to the Nigerian govt? My neighbour who equally doubt told me that all the donations govt has received is up to N2billion and that if govt share the money all Nigerians at least each person will receive thousands of Naira. And then I brought a calculator and we both tried to share the N2b among the 200m Nigerians. The result? Nobody got up to N500. And he just opened his eyes Some want to be seeing people falling on the street dying before they believe. Whoever told them that Covid-19 operate that way? Most symptoms are mild. Check Singapore. That country has been recording a minimum of 1,000 new cases everyday for one week now, only very very few have died. Covid-19 attracts great news because it is highly infectious and vectors may not manifest symptoms making it more dangerous than most infectious diseases. And it can easily get the health facilities overwhelmed. Covid-19 is not as deadly as Ebola. Read more about this virus and please stop your "audio" or "scam" doubts, and be joyous that ours is still what it is. And never you leave these shores with that kind of childish mentality, it's dangerous if someone who has lost a family member or more hear you express such doubts. . 15 Likes 2 Shares |

harakiri: When you talk about management of the virus, that is another thing. But when you say, the number of coronavirus cases reported in Nigeria is padded or that the whole thing is stagemanaged to get money, then it has entered the realm of stupidity. That is my point. By the way, all the monies we are talking about for Nigeria Covid-19 (mis)management so far is nowhere near what Abacha stole pls. 6 Likes |

Iwillsurvivedis: Are you guys daft or is this just willful stupidity? So the government wants to embezzle paltry 20billion they would go through the hoops just to tell a lie that is easily verifiable? Do you know how much they make from clearing fees, VAT alone? For every single passenger flying out of Nigeria you pay a $20 handling fee. That's just handling fee let alone the all other charges. Do you know there is a N1 ETF tax on every single litre of fuel you buy. So they would grind businesses to a halt and lockdown all cities just to embezzle 20billion when they have alternatives of making double of that in 2 weeks? Where do they breed this kind of idi.ots in Nigeria? We need to start asking valid questions about the stupidity of people else they would start getting bolder and start talking rubbish. How did your common sense not even tell you to look at counter claims before opening your mouth to talk this? 16 Likes |
