Only a lunatic will call for a total shutdown where the number of deaths is less than 1,000 after over 3 months of the virus being in the country...

The sham lockdown we had previously didn't stop the numbers from increasing...

Coronavirus is no worse than other deadly diseases like TB, Cancer and co that we know...

Pride won't allow this Nigeria to ask Madagascar for cure or at least to do test too.

We'll wait for US and Europe forever cos it doesn't seem to be better if we're telling ourselves the truth

Tell buhari to stop this lockdown nonsense. He should allow us live our lifes. Who go die go die no matter how much you want to lockdown.

With this rate of macabre, Nigeria case may turn out to be worst.

Laslas we go de alryt

Oh really

May God help us

Any new lockdown will breed another set of criminality because no man will watch and see himself fading away in hunger and govt should bear in mind that the one month lockdown will recently came out didn't work.
Declaring another one might cause civil unrest and mass robbing of people's shop in other to survive.
Secondly, govt should be conscious of what ds covid-19 lockdown can cause especially to many CEOs/MDs in company who are still nurturing the effect of wasteful lockdown dat caused us a lot as many company's are still retrenching their workers, some are owing salaries while some are preparing sack letters. Imagine loosing your job now as a family man or bachelor, is there any hope out there for you? Hunger will open you up and leave you expose to varieties of disease and suicide.
