Politics / Buhari’s Government Is The Virus Destroying Nigeria - Omoyele Sowore by chimezieeze98: 2:13pm On Apr 13, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnngGHMZ8WY

Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2019 election, Omoyele Sowore has described President Buhari's government as the ''virus destroying Nigeria.''



Commenting on the Coronavirus pandemic Nigeria has been battling with since February, the media personality stated that Nigeria will also have to battle ''terrible leadership, incompetent leadership, wicked leadership once Coronavirus is gone. ''



Sowore said in the video;



“I do not want to glorify the response of the government in power, and the so called opposition, the PDP because these political parties are themselves viruses that are destroying the health of our country both physically, economically, politically, socially and culturally.

“It is the pandemic that I am talking about. So, let’s discuss the revolutionary process that can take these guys out. At the end of the day, the person holding the broom also has an umbrella that he’s keeping in the house, so when the broom is not working, he goes for the umbrella. So, we are dealing with the same set of people, no difference.

“I don’t glorify their responses with any modicum of interest or attention. I don’t pay attention to what PDP is saying or what APC is saying. The guys are just jokers. As soon as their loved ones are killed or they become injured, again it comes back to the security. We have soldiers who are either timid, the ones that are not timid are not motivated enough to fight. And that is why small countries, like Chad; Chad for that matter is able to deal decisively with Boko Haram whereas Nigerian soldiers are clapping for them while they were entering Nigerian territory.

“I will say most importantly that it borders on leadership. After every pandemic is over, there is a pandemic that doesn’t go away and that is of leadership. Having bad leaders is the worst pandemic that could happen to any country. It is the worst epidemic that can happen to human beings. Terrible leadership, incompetent leadership, wicked leadership and that is afflicting Nigeria. So, after COVID-19 is gone, we still have a pandemic that is not going to go away. It doesn’t have any season, it doesn’t have any time, it doesn’t have a deadline, it doesn’t have a flattening curve. It’s around with us and until we get rid of that pandemic leadership forget about progress.”

Ogun State Residents Resort To Fighting Armed Robbers Themselves Using Machetes, Sticks and Guns

Some residents of Alakuko to Ijaiye axis of Sango-Otta in Ogun State have resorted to self-defense over the incessant robberies in the area since the lockdown started.

According to sources, the robbers numbering over 50, raid the areas all at once, looting resident’s valuables, monies and allegedly raping some ladies.

A source reveals that the residents have reached out to the police all to no avail except for this afternoon when they showed up after the robbers had fled.

One of the robbers that were eventually arrested boasted to the residents that he would soon be released, and to their utmost surprise, he truly was after a few hours in police custody.

This angered some residents who now armed themselves and have now taken to the streets to defend themselves while also calling for the removal of the state governor.

Coronavirus: Churches are not places of infection but places of blessing - Pastor Chris says as he supports relaxation of lockdown order for churches to reopen


Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has reacted to the decision of some state governors to relax the lockdown order in their states for churches to celebrate Easter.



While preaching on Friday April 10th, Pastor Chris said the church is not a place of infection but rather a place of blessings. He prayed against anyone coming to church and getting infected.



The clergyman who last week said the lockdown in Lagos and Abuja was for the Federal government to install 5G network in the state, said any wise government knows not to trouble the church.

The best thing in any government is to always leave the church alone. It is always the best thing. The wisest leader understands that. They leave the church alone. When you trouble the church, there is a scripture'' he said

Foreign Affairs / Kenyan Deputy Governor To Spend Days In Cell For Violating Covid-19 Quarantine by chimezieeze98: 8:35pm On Apr 07, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saTmAcsnmys

Kenyan Deputy Governor, Gideon Saburi to spend three more days in a police cell after being arrested for violating Coronavirus quarantine order.

Deputy Governor of Kenyan country 'Kilifi', Gideon Saburi will be spending three more days in a police cell following his arrest for violating a Coronavirus quarantine order in the country.

It was gathered that in spite of the Kenyan government's directive of travelers entering the country from a destination with confirmed cases of Coronavirus to proceed to self-isolation, Saburi ignored the precautionary measure and went ahead to attend several weddings and funerals. He also reportedly mingled with county staff in complete disregard of the government directive aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

The Deputy Governor was arrested by the police on charges of failing to go into self-isolation upon arriving at the East African country from Germany on March 5.

He said;

“We are recording his statement. We must establish whether he signed COVID-19 self-declaration forms, was he spreading the virus intentionally and many other things."

Following his arraignment on Monday, April 6, a Kenyan court granted the prosecution's request for the Kilifi Deputy Governor to spend three more days in police custody.

Prosecutor, Edge Mulamula told the court that medical experts at the Coast General Hospital’s isolation center had recommended that Saburi stays at home in self-imposed quarantine for another 14 days until a final COVID-19 test is done.

Mombasa County DCIO, Anthony Mureithi had said the deputy governor will be interrogated before any charges are preferred against him.

The prosecution sought more time to complete investigations but wanted the court to detain Saburi for 14 days, saying that the Kilifi leader cannot be trusted to quarantine himself.


Saburi’s lawyer, George Kithi reportedly countered the request before it was granted. He argued that there is no evidence to show that the deputy governor had at any point tested positive for COVID-19, and that he was wrongly accused by the state.

He said;

“Medical report from Cast General Hospital isolation center have not indicated anywhere that the DG was positive, only instruction is another 14 days of quarantine outside isolation center. Hence there is nothing to prove that he infected any residents."

Commissioner for Health in Lagos State, Professor Akin Abayomi, has said that 80 percent of the calls received on the CORONA emergency lines are hoax calls "from irresponsible members of the society."



Speaking at a press conference on Monday, April 6, the Commissioner said most people call for fun, pranks or to pass insults to health workers, and this has been very distracting in the management of coronavirus outbreak in the state and nationwide.



He said 11% of the calls are from people seeking information about the viral disease, 9% are from people feeling symptoms while 0.4% of the calls are red flags.

Health / Ghanaian Man Invents Solar-powered Hand Washer, To Help Fight COVID-19 by chimezieeze98: 9:38am On Apr 06, 2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oWxS2N7cFM

A Ghanaian man has gone viral after inventing a solar-powered hand sensitive barrel to help curtail the spread of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The unique invention is to encourage the constant washing of hands in a hygienic manner in the wake of the pandemic.

The barrel has an in-built sensor which makes sure that once your hand is under the tap, soapy water automatically drops.

The system then allows for a 15-second gap before the water also starts flowing for the person to wash his or her hands into the barrel.


Demonstrating how it works, the inventor said the whole system is powered by solar panels and one does not need to touch the tap before being able to wash his or her hands.

Ghana has now recorded 204 Coronavirus cases as of today, Friday, April 3, 2020.

Watch the demonstration of how the man invents solar-powered hand sensitive barrel works.

Politics / [video & Pics] Is 5g Already In Nigeria? by chimezieeze98: 5:38pm On Apr 05, 2020
while Nigerians are still debating over health challenges humans might face in the advent of 5G technology in the country, little did we know that we are already closer to deploying the technology in the country than we thought?

The below video was recorded on the 25th of November, 2019. It was MTN's trial of 5G technology in Abuja, the nation's capital;



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G19SMLbhoV4

President Muhammadu Buhari endorsed the trial of 5G technology at the MTN first live demo of 5G network on Monday in Abuja.

He was represented at the occasion by the Minister of Communications and Digital Technology, Dr Isa Pantami.

Buhari expressed delight to be part of the historic moment, stressing that migration from 4G to 5G would be a revolution in the industry.

Minister of Communication, Dr Ali Pantami (M) representing President Buhari, inspects MTN pieces of equipment, during the MTN trial of 5G network in Abuja on Monday


The President also directed Pantami to address the challenges facing the telecoms sector systematically, adding that an executive order is in the pipeline to consider Telecommunications Infrastructure as critical national assets.
“We are working day in day out to make sure that the environment is conducive for people to do their businesses.

“This administration is passionate about developing Nigeria’s Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector which contributes more than Oil and Gas to GDP,” Buhari said.

Prof. Umar Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman of Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), had told the global community that the African continent held the ace, adding that 5G is the next frontier of investment.

Danbatta expressed optimism that 5G would provide a very veritable and convincing investment for investors.

Former Executive Vice Chairman, NCC, Ernest Ndukwe, who is also a board member of MTN Nigeria, expressed delight that Nigeria was one of the countries championing 5G trial on the African continent.

Ndukwe said that the new technology is at least, 100 times faster than 4G, adding that 5G also provides faster data transfer speed and lower latency, compared to 4G.

“Additionally, 5G boasts of improved reliability as well as better support for more devices.

“5G is a transformational change from 4G with the potential to provide 20 times faster data speeds.

“It carries a massive amount of data for a large number of simultaneous users.

“5G will support business innovative ambitions, create new markets, transform supply chain management and create a smarter and more efficient manufacturing sector.

“5G is extremely fast and supports data transfer rates of up to 20Gbits/S. 5G will allow stream, download, and upload of huge quantities of data at a much faster rate.

“During a comparison test on both 4G and 5G networks, it took just 15.78 seconds to download a 2.3 GB video on the 5G network and the same file on 4G took exactly 5 minutes, 3.84 seconds.”

“This according to the telco operator will enable the company to provide better data services at a more affordable cost to its subscribers.





This second video below shows a concerned Nigerian citizen who records a video that he claims is the laying of 5G cables. He said while Nigerians are indoors due to lockdown orders; telecommunication companies are busy laying the cables. He also claimed that upon questioning those who were laying the cables; they said they were laying Airtel cables, after completing the laying of MTN cables the previous week.

The diggers further said they had after laying the cables around Lagos, the next step is to mount antennas. The cameraman also claimed that the diggers were ignorant of the fact that after digging, laying cables and turning on the antennas, "Nigerians would start dying for no reason; which is the aim of 5G installation in Lagus; to depopulate us".

Health / Re: 5G Network: Can It Cause Cancer or COVID-19? by chimezieeze98: 1:02pm On Apr 05, 2020
mrphysics:
I went through this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/5774444/fact-check-coronavirus-caused-5g-technology by aminulive and while I appreciate what he has done, I think enough needs to be done to drive that point clearer to the Nigerian audience. However, my fear is that when scientist and health practitioners say something, most people, especially Nigerians will accept the ones coming from religious leaders.

I will try my best to explain in details what you should know about radiations.

Classifications of Radiations
They are two basic classification of radiations, they include:
1 Particle radiation: This contains charged and neutral particles
2. Electromagnetic radiation: (Photon flow. 5G belongs to this group.)

We can classify radiations according to their biological effects on matter, here, we have two types of radiations: Ionizing and non ionizing radiations.

You must have heard these two in recent times, so what is ionizing and non ionizing radiations?
a. Ionizing radiations: This means radiation have enough energy to eject one electron from the atom of the crossed material.
b. Non ionizing radiation: Particle energy is not enough to eject one electron from the atom, therefore it is said to have lower ionizing potential.

Great, let's advance further. The next question is, at what energy is a particle considered as ionizing? I won't waste much time here, so let's concentrate on 5G and their corresponding energy.

I am a graduate student of Nuclear Engineering. And in one of our course called Interaction of Radiation with Matter, we discussed everything about ionizing and non ionizing radiation.
Therefore, for tissues/matter consisting of Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen (Which the human body fall under), radiations are considered as ionizing radiation if their energy is greater >> 12.4 eV (electron volt). The wavelength of such photon is 0.1um (micro meter). .

Using the relationship between energy and frequency, E = hf, I made a quick calculation and realized that the wavelength of such radiation must be 100nm (0.1um) and the frequency (Hz) is to the order of 3 x 10^15 hertz. We do know that the frequency of a 5G network (5 Giga hertz - 95 Giga hertz) and discovered that it's frequency is of the order of 10^9 hertz. which is million times lower than what is considered as ionizing. It therefore means that photons from a 5G network can never ionize the human body.

We know all these because to excite the electron from the ground state of a hydrogen atom to the first excitation state, you must have an energy of 13.6 eV. If you check the energy of a 5G wave, you will see it is approximately 0.00002 eV which is a million times lower than the fundamental energy of ionizing radiation.

Some persons have also linked it to cause cancer and the rest, this is not true. Of course there are two effects of radiations which is stochastic and deterministic effect. Deterministic effect occurs instantly and severity increases with radiation dose where as stochastic effect does not occur instantly but will take time to manifest.

Let me point out that, those who survived the Hiroshima and Nagazaki bomb blast and were followed in a study called Cohort Study, out of over 100k followed person, only about 2% died of cancer related cases which manifested about 50 years after the incident. Remember these people took many grays of highly ionizing radiations.

Whenever you take flight from a particular place to another, you have absorbed more ionizing radiations that someone living 20km from a nuclear power plant. When you take 1-9 cigarettes a day, you take same risk as someone who took a dose of 3.4Sv from a bomb blast.

To end it, 5G network is not an ionizing radiation, and poses no harm to the body, well not anyone that has been experience now. It will take many years for one to experience any such effect (Which to me is not possible). Some of us have done X-rays, if only you knew you stood against an ionizing radiation, and yet still healthy, you won't be talking about 5G network.

The words of MrPhysics grin grin grin

5G-5th generation technology promises faster download speeds and conveniences that most of us have never dreamed of. But we'll also be blanketed with a new type of radiation called “millimeter waves.” Health experts are warning about the rising risks with a 5G rollout.

Frank Clegg Former President of Microsoft Canada: “It’s not been made clear to the public that 5G won’t just be another number and a letter on your cell phone. It requires an entirely new infrastructure of thousands of small cellular antennas to be erected throughout the cities where it’s going to be installed.”

What would 5G infrastructure look like? Small cell antennas could be placed as close as every 3rd hydro pole.

Scientists from 42 countries are now warning their governments about the emerging health problems associated with wireless radiation, and Canadian doctors and scientists have added their voices.

Dr. Riina Bray: “the most prevalent symptoms include headache, fatigue, decreased ability to concentrate, tinnitus, irritability, and insomnia. Impacts on the heart and nervous system are also of concern.”

Dr. Riina Bray has been working at the Provincial Environmental Health Clinic for 15 years, and seen the number of people suffering adverse effects from electromagnetic exposure rising.

Dr. Riina Bray: “we predict that the number of people who develop the symptoms I just mentioned will rise in the places where 5G is first installed.”

Dr. Magda Havas is internationally recognized for her research on the biological effects of electromagnetic pollution. She said that at high intensities these waves cause intense heat and pain because sweat glands on the surface of our skin act like mini antennas.

Dr. Magda Havas, professor and researcher: "at lower intensities scientists are predicting damage to eyes, loss of insect populations, which are already declining, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and physiological effects on the nervous system and the immune system.”

Radiation from radio frequencies is classed in the same category of carcinogens as a lead.

One advisor to the World Health Organization said there's enough evidence that if they were to re-evaluate radiofrequency radiation...

Dr. Anthony Miller: "it would be placed Class One, human carcinogen, the government could not possibly ignore that.”

Some say the scientific debate about the health effects of microwave radiation is over. But the question remains: Can we afford to take this risk?

Medical doctors are requesting delayed deployment until testing can be conducted on the long-term biological effects of 5G technology.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drk9tpIu7Uo

Geoffrey Onyeama, minister of foreign affairs, says there is no hidden agenda behind some countries evacuating their citizens from Nigeria.

At least, 637 Europeans were evacuated from Nigeria and Benin Republic on Thursday.

The move had left many wondering if there is a cause for alarm.

During the press briefing of the presidential task force on COVID-19 in Abuja on Friday, a journalist had asked Onyeama if leaving the country was an indictment on Nigeria’s health system, to which the minister responded that it’s not necessarily so.

Onyeama said those who had left did so did so to enable them make use of a system that they are familiar with, should the need arise.

He added that the diplomatic staff of most of the countries are still in Nigeria, and that hey have no plans of leaving.

“It is basically a case where people are more familiar with the health system in their various countries and so prefer to go to the various countries so in the event that they might have to be confined, they would be in more familiar surroundings and they would also have access to medical practitioners and facilities that they are used to,” Onyeama said.

“So, that is really the reason. And you will find that a large number of those countries evacuating citizens, that their heads of mission and ambassadors and other staff are still here in Nigeria and there are no plans of leaving.”

COVID-19: FG Commences Disbursement Of N20,000 Cash Transfer To Over 1.2m Poor Citizens.
Targets additional 1m households in 2020


Federal Government, on Wednesday, flagged-off the disbursement of N20,000 conditional cash transfer (CCT) to over 1.2 million across 34 States of the Federation and Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq, who presented the fund to some of the beneficiaries at the Kwali Area Council of FCT, expressed satisfaction at the successful implementation of the scheme which started in 2016.

Mrs Farouq said the N20,000 for the four months CCT payment was in line with the directives by President Muhammadu Buhari, aimed at cushioning the effect of the lockdown of Abuja, Lagos and Ogun States on the poor and vulnerable households.

“This initiative has been ongoing for the past 5 years. It’s an exercise geared towards supporting the poor and vulnerable households of our society and we give them monthly stipend of N5,000 and now that we have the restriction, Mr President has directed that we give them 2 months advance payment.

“So we are here today to carry out that directive of paying the 2 months stipend.”


According to her, over 1 million people across the country have been enlisted to benefit from the scheme, adding that over 5,000 people are to benefit from the scheme in Kwali Area Council alone.

While responding to questions on the mode of selection of the beneficiaries, the Minister explained that: “it is a very long process, many people are involved, community leaders, religious leaders and the Council chairmen and his council members. They all come together and identify the poorest of poor and vulnerable households in that particular community.”

While reacting to allegations that the funds were distributed to APC members only, Mrs Farouq, who dismissed the allegation, argued that, “that is very untrue. You are free to ask the beneficiaries and they will tell you the method adopted in identifying the beneficiaries.”

In her remarks, CCT National Coordinator, Mrs. Temitope Sinkayedin, unveiled plans to add 1 million households to the existing 1.2 million households already registered under the programme in 2020.

“It has improved a lot of their livelihood, it has improved the human capital, that is they are now able to send their children to school, they are now able to feed and have better diet, not just starch alone, they are now able to have balanced diet; they are also able to attend clinic.

“And in some communities, they even dug well where water is their problem, some communities they’ve renovated their health centres, and we even have some extreme cases wherein some communities they out up a simple classroom for their children because their children used to go to the neighbouring communities to go to school.

“And it will interest you that this programme is not just about the cash transfer alone. It is a cash-plus programme, we give them money we also train them on how to be self-sustaining; they take care of their hygiene, they take care of their businesses; if you don’t have a business, how you can start a business; and then we also teach them on nutrition, environmental sanitation. So it’s a full package for the household. That is why the programme is known as household uplifting programme,” she said.

On the rationale behind the payment of the 2-month stipend, she explained that most of the poor live in places where there are no banking infrastructure.

“Where the poor reside, there are no banking infrastructure, so you cannot pay them through the bank, we pay through mobile banking operators as you can see, it is through transferred electronic payment as you have just witnessed. And then we need to pay these mobile money operators so the more the payment the more we pay. So that is why we now put two months together so they pay every two months. We started paying this money since 2016 with 8 states.

“The questions why 8 states? They are the ones that are ready. States came on board at different times because there are conditions that the states must meet before we begin to do the transfer.

“The state must establish its office because it is the state office that is implementing, we are just direction, guidance and supervision. When there’s no state office we cannot do the transfer. It is the state office and the Local Government office that move from village to village. You know how many villages in a local government not to talk of the country.

“Therefore, the structure is that we have federal structure, we have state, we have local government structure. The local government structure is the ones who move from village to village to do the training, to monitor and mentor them so that they can perform well.

“We have 34 States on board now. Today, each beneficiary is getting four months and that is N20,000. For this ward, the number of beneficiaries is about 190.”
