How come?
But Davido and his crew (31) all got tested.

How much is the test or is the test for free?

The test is definitely free. There is also this Sydney Talker guy that wasn't tested even with serious symptoms, but guess Davido and his crew were tested because they werr high risk

Ogaonos:
we have pass d stage of preventive.buhari failed to prevent.what u saying about Japan approach is what d whole world is doing including Nigeria states but is back firing.u don't wait for Ur citizen to show symptoms Nd do contact tracing.causalities go high.like Italy .citizen door to door testing as we all stay indoor is d solution.if we can share such solution to our governors it will help alot.nd we be back to work sooner.

Nigerians and most especially Lagosians are very stubborn in nature. It will only take the involvement of soldiers to force them to stay home.

Draught:
You can take all the time you want FG of Nigeria but ultimately we will be on lock down, when you all are ready let us know but bet this, today it's 90, next week it's gonna be in 500's.

A 3rd world country watches how late First World countries reacted to the Virus and struggles yet we dey here dey say God gat us.. Yes God gat us but only when when we help ourselves..

Deploy the Military to lock down Nigeria, cos there are wayyyy to many Covidiots floating around...

Lol Op I feel you when you said you held that cough, I entered taxi the last couple of days or so, I was wearing face mask and hand gloves and even paid for the extra front seat cos that's how it goes down in the Capital (2 in front, 4 at back) As soon as we left (fully populated obviously except just me in front seat) I felt rumbling in my throat!!! OMG I couldn't can, This is the first time ever I held a cough for more than 3 mins or so..every second felt like hell, I couldn't hold it anymore, I just blabbed loudly "Corona Virus is real" and then coughed, O boy that cough was sweet mehn...

Disclaimer : My cough was with phlegm not a persistent dry cough hence I wasn't harming the public + I had the blue side of the face mask facing outside...

Your disclaimer is funny to me Like you think some doctors here will blame you for coughing, but bros next time be careful where you cough, so they won't ask you out of the vehicle in the middle of nowhere.

sammirano:


Lolz what were you expecting.

Honestly now that I ask myself that too, I don't know the answer, especially now that our president is missing

yom2:
do u think its that easy to just shut the whole place just like that. Have u considered the socio economic implications. The same u Nigerians that will still complain when they do. If ur bank account is in 6 digits. Others may not be that fortunate. Besides other countries who has mimic such measures has a well designed and implemented social welfare.

I dont think it's easy, but prevention is better than cure.

Dalby:

Corona only comes with contact, with an infected person. That is why your travel history is key. If they wasted a test kit for you, when those really infected comes there will be nothing to test them. NCDC is responding to a pandemic and they have to be prudent with scarce resources.

I get your point, but do you consider it a waste of test kit? One can never be too careful, have you thought of how many people that would have been infected if I had the virus?

xcabczyxabczzzz:

Yes I understand they are not serious, but if I have any symptoms I am driving myself down there to get tested or cause commotion there.

Don't sit there, get someone to get you there or take yourself there.

I am better now. Many thanks for your concern

emmydiamon:
;DYou too funny, to come carry you for ambulance or with keke? I pity for my country Nigeria cause the way things is going right now Italy will be a child's play.

They should use their ambulance somewhere else I am better now. Thanks

softwerk:


Brother,

Are you not concerned that your lab result was not signed by anyone?!

Sister, In all sincerity checking signatures was the last thing on my mind that day, but considering it is a Government approved Diagnosis Centre and I wasn't with any doctor's report, I am not a bit concerned. I am okay now though, Thanks.

NairaMaster1:


This small malaria and typhoid?

Work on your immune systems

Yes Doctor I actually self treated with Antibiotics and Coartem a week before I broke down totall, but thanks for the advice, will work on my immune system.

stonecoldcafe:


It's not ok to be having regular treatment for typhoid. Malaria maybe a bit understandable (depending on your location) but not typhoid
Thank God you are better

Actually its been 5years since I was down that way and had to take injections, but every 3 months i get malaria and typhoid, maybe being O+ and AA is really a curse for me. Yes I am better now. Thank you.

Mightymanna:
What useless emergency number gas 11 degit?

Only a country with a "not so right" thinking Government

Adex2442:


Go and touch them first.. If money falls out, then the other guys will follow

If its the money you want click this link https://www.nairaland.com/5752570/covid-19-how-benefit-1.1-trillion

Adex2442:


Hahahaha pls o. Tell me the secret. Are they sharing money there... Abeg lemme know on time o. So that I will know if to come touch u

Go to the isolation center at yaba and touch them, who knows, maybe you've got the magic touch

CanadaOrBust:

He came from abroad. So far it is 0%

Lets hope it remains that way till a cure is found..

CanadaOrBust:


U r welcome.
Do people realise this virus has less than 2% death rate among whites and so far 0% among Nigerians living permanently in Nigeria??!!

Recently Nigeria recorded its first death, so i think its too early to calculate the percentage.

Hamzaay:
I feel we Nigerian should just live by buying more time. By this I mean take the preventive measures to protect yourself and your families before the cure is found. It's almost impossible for Nigeria to take all these measures for mesef eno easy. Before u know it ur finger is in ur eyes or lips.

Talk about eating eba without properly washing your hand after touching a contaminated surface

CanadaOrBust:


It is definitely an increase, but that doesn’t mean it is a bad thing. The more people get it and survive the more people develop immunity till herd immunity is reached and therefore the virus defeated!

Thanks for that information, I definitely will do a research about that.

Adex2442:


LOL. Go back and check after 10 days. U are a suspect

Well I am thinking that once I am done with my Malaria and typhoid treatment and I still notice the symptoms then I can call out those idiot NCDC on social media to come carry me.

TheGoodJoe:
There is need for testing kits. This is not time for government to hoard money. There is need lots of testing kits to know the magnitude of this and get early treatment.

Exactly what I think, if only the Government takes everything serious, China built a hospital in 10days because of the virus, but Nigeria cannot even boast of an isolation centre

MrBrownJay1:
the problem with this virus is that many people only take proper precautions when its already too late...

Majority of Nigerians don't know how to take proper precautions, that is the problem

Humanoid01:
You held a cough for so long? I know how that feels.

Yeah something like this

Adex2442:
Auido cough

Bros no be audio, i kept clearing my throat, still better than coughing out loud abeg

Hi guys, I live in Ikorodu part of Lagos where rumour has it that 1 person was confirmed positive of Corona Virus, now my fear is this over the past 1 week there has been increase in the number of people suffering from almost all the symptoms of the Corona Virus.

My question now is, Do you think it's just a coincidence? Could it be our mind and body toying with our fear of the virus?

Please if you can relate share ur experience.

Hello guys, Let me start by narrating my ordeal, about 2weeks ago I started having my regular symptoms of typhoid and malaria which is back pain, hot breathe, evening fever and change in urine colour, so i rushed to the pharmacy and got malaria drugs.

Fast forward to Saturday 21st,I started coughing but i didn't take it too seriously, but by midnight of that day I woke up with the worst fever and hallucination i have ever experienced, by Sunday morning the fever was gone, but then I had itchy/sore throat coupled with the cough, so i gargled salt and warm water and i got relief from the sore throat.

At exactly 6pm that Sunday, the fever returned but this time more serious than the last one and this time it lasted till Monday morning, at this point I was already on google searching for all the symptoms of CoronaVirus, instantly I called my nurse that I needed injection for malaria and typhoid and she told me no treatment unless i go for a test to confirm if its malaria and typhoid.

The thought of going to the Lab for test made me feel uneasy so i called the NCDC toll-free line (080097000010), I called for 12 good times and each time I was told to hold on but the call gets disconnected, I wasn't going to let myself die of ordinary Typhoid because I want to self isolate so i went to the Diagnosis centre with my nose mask on. At the centre i was dying inside, dying not because I was sick inside or I was afraid of what the result would bring, but dying because I was trying so hard to suppress the urge to cough, because I didn't want to scare people or spread whatever was wrong with me. After 2hrs the result was out and i had malaria and too much typhoid in my body system, I went home gave the nurse the result and she gave me 3 injections for the Malaria and typhoid, and I am much better now than yesterday,and she also prescribed Tutolin for my cough.

I read today about a Nairalander that called the NCDC line today to explain his symptoms and was told they only attend to people that had contact with someone who just came from travel outside Nigeria, with that I can only conclude that there is no seriousness in this Government to fight the Virus, right from the beginning they refused to close all point of entry in the country because they thought its child's play, now they wont even respond to Emergency calls.

Forget the nose mask, the hand sanitizer, once this gets to the common man in Nigeria, who believes they cant get the virus, who still believes the hot weather will kill the virus inside you, who believes the cure for every sickness is either paracetamol or antibiotics, then I am sorry to say, Nigeria might just become worse than italy

Stay safe guys, Stay indoors.

Officialgarri:

So many dumb children on Nairaland.

Ok, he might pronounce Covid as covik perhaps due to his accent, but can you also not use "one Nine" in place of "nineteen"?
I don't know why you children always act this way.

Must he show to the whole world that he knows nothing about the virus?

toniblacman:
Well if this is more than a theory, I say, thank you op. Can you give us the link you got this from?
Maybe it's time to go home.

babyfaceafrica:
he has a point.. You are focusing on the negative, he is been positive

If you read what I read about that virus you will know it's more serious than they are making it seem, 700+ dead in 24hrs in Italy, plus a lot of conspiracy theories in China about 5million people dead from the virus and it's been covered

Nice one, you are gifted!! Keep it up

chumaster:
it is called Oganigwe. But I doubt if it is still active like before

Oh okay, where in Ikenga are you from

busariabeyx24:

just downloaded the pdf ... can send it to you if you haven't gotten one yet.

Thanks for the link

chumaster:
Are you from Ikenga?

Yes Sir... Ezi village precisely, you know the masquerade?

Ke ihe n'eme nu

richmanrichard:
ogbaagu only comes out in the 9t mostly during burials. You re right-we have achikwu/achukwu in many places apart frm Ekwulobia but ours is one of d most popular. How come a woman like u knows so much about masqurade? Aru! Sacril... The gods said u 'should bring one he-goat + one bunch of mess(udu aru).

In my town,we have a masquerade called Oganigwe, it is said that no one has ever seen it except for initiates and it comes out at night too and mostly during burials of high classed chiefs, you cannot see it not to talk of snapping it, and it's vibrations shakes buildings from a very long distance, my father once told me how it ordered a palm tree to pursue a man hiding from it in the bush, and indeed it happened. I really miss all that

LarrySun:
The events of the first Mmanwu I witnessed as a child would forever remain stamped on my consciousness. Among the thirteen masqueraders that entertained the crowd that hot afternoon, the acrobatic displays of the Agaba was nonpareil; even the other twelve seemed to be mere followers of Agaba. The crown of its head – like that of a peacock, or the tail of a thoroughbred – swung majestically as it danced and we cheered. Unlike the others that would occasionally take some few steps towards terror-stricken children and cause them to dash off like major Temple Run characters, the Agaba’s interest was to impress the crowd with its warrior-like prowess and magical manifestations.

The most amazing feat Agaba performed was its demonstration of the impossible; it crossed the river to the other side and back absent canoe. Agaba walked on water before our very eyes! This was something no other masquerader had ever done in the history of our village. The crowd roared with surprise and admiration as they clapped their hands. I remember the chief priests nodding proudly as if they were the ones who performed the miracle.

Agaba returned just as dry as it was before making the sensational display. As if that was not enough to scare the broad daylight out of us children – out of me particularly, something else we didn’t see coming sufficed. Just out of nowhere, fire caught Agaba’s clothing made chiefly of bamboo rafters. No one knew how it happened but later rumours revealed that one jealous masquerader from the other twelve had betrayed Agaba by setting fire on him through sorcery.

Agaba’s power was probably not strong enough to douse the fire; and so there before the hundreds of people watching, the masquerader pulled off its coat.

Behold, Agaba was the village’s Catholic priest!

Haha, this is very funny

Nathandics:
Where is Achukwu...a.k.a otagbuo orie

This picture looks alot like my village in aguata
