And we will also liaise with the main Task Force Committee on COVID-19 to see how we can locate people in hospitals who have been there even before the coming of this COVID-19 crisis," says Professor Bello. The Committee Chairman discloses that they would submit their interim report to the governor by Monday, to let him know how far they have gone in the assignment given to the committee. In his remarks governor Ganduje commended them for the donation and appreciated that the Lebanese community in Kano have been in the state for over 100 years, emphasising that, " Some of them you are seeing here their grand parents and parents were all born here. Not only them being born and bread here." After thanking them for being helpful in whatever happens to the state, the governor also commended Alhaji Aminu Dantata, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Alhaji Abdussamad Isyaka Rabi'u, among many others who are forthcoming in this direction.

You only talk on the physics aspect without the biological aspect which concerns life. 5G network operates at 60 Giga hertz which is oxygen absorption band. I.e 98 percentage of the energy at that frequency is absorbed by atmospheric oxygen. This changes the optical properties of oxygen, which in turns makes it difficult to bind to haemoglobin when inhaled by a person. In the human body, oxygen binds to haemoglobin in the red blood cells which then circulate to all tissues of the body. Less binding capacity of oxygen to haemoglobin = less oxygen to the tissues of the body = shortness of breath and related complications. 5G is also linked to immunosuppression that weakens the body immune system. Having in mind that the body immune system is responsible for defense against foreign pathogens including coronavirus. @mrphysics 7 Likes |

Our Story | Facebook The history of the Nigerian Army dates to 1863, when Lt Glover of the Royal Navy selected 18 indigenes from the Northern part of the country and organized them into a local force, known as the "Glover Hausas". The small force was used by Glover as governor of Lagos to mount punitive expedition in the Lagos hinterland and to protect British trade routes around Lagos. In 1865, the "Glover Hausa" became a regular force with the name "Hausa Constabulary". It performed both police and military duties for the Lagos colonial government. It later became "Lagos Constabulary". On incorporation into the West Africa Frontier Force (WAFF) in 1901, it became "Lagos Battalion". In addition to this force, the British Government included the Royal Niger Company (RNC), Constabulary Force in Northern Nigeria in 1886 and the Oil Rivers irregular in 1891. In 1889, Lord Fredrick Lugard had formed the incipient body of what was tobe known in 1890, as the West Africa Frontier Force, (WAFF), in Jebba, Northern Nigeria. The new unit expanded by absorbing the Northern Nigeria-based elements of the Royal Niger Company (RNC) Constabulary. By the end of 1901, it had incorporated all paramilitary units in the other British dependencies into its command, thus fully meriting its designation "WAFF". The establishment of West Africa Frontier Force (WAFF) led to the merger of all units into regiment in each of the dependencies. The merger in Nigeria produced the Northern Nigerian Regiment and Southern Nigerian Regiment. The First commanders of the Southern Regiments of WAFF were Lt CHP Carter 18991901 and Col J Wilcox (1900-1909) respectively. The two regiments were later used for expeditions during the annexation of Nigeria by Lord Lugard between 1901 and 1903. With the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914, the unification of the Northern and Southern Regiments came into being and this witnessed the birth of the Nigerian Regiments. The Northern Nigerian Regiments became the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Nigerian Regiment, while the Southern Nigeria Regiment became the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Nigerian Regiments (NR). The Mounted Infantry of the Northern Regiments became the ordinary Infantry Battalion after the Second World War. A field artillery also existed in the Northern Regiment. With the visit of Queen Elizabeth of Britain between 28 January and 15 February, 1956, the Nigerian regiment was renamed the Queens Own Nigerian Regiments (QONR). Also in the same year, the regionalization of the WAFF came into existence and each WAFF came into existence and each military force became independent of the other. As a result, the QUEEN became the Nigerian Military Force (NMF). By 1st June, 1958, the British Army Council in London relinquished control of NMF to the Nigerian Government. In 1960, when Nigeria became independent, the NMF became known as the Royal Nigerian Army (RNA). When Nigeria became a republic, the RNA changed to the Nigerian Army. In the same year, the Army changed its uniform, rank structure and instruments from those of RWAFF to new ones including green khaki uniform.

He is right. They can produce and even export it as the world demand is increasing. No need to wait for the government to tell you "do so". After all, it's your own private company. 328 Likes 21 Shares |

AreaFada2: No scientific evidence, research are still ongoing regarding the novel Coronavirus. Anybody that tells you that is simply assuming. There are 3 types of coronavirus and Covid 19 is the newest and that's why it's called novel. 1. Severe acute respiratory syndrome - SARs 2. Middle East respiratory syndrome - MERs 3. Novel coronavirus - Covid 19 |

Nigeria will never be better with these set of Igbo youths including those on Nairaland. Look at how they are defending crime, blaming it on the government. They produce fake sanitizer selling to your own people (robbing them their hard earned resources) and you're here defending it. |

Blue3k2: Or you should rather spoon feed yourself. He said some have voluntarily withdrawn their children from the street. And you heard Ganduje saying 2 million here, 3 million there and there's another place he says million. All these are assumptions. You believe him when he said a million but you don't believe him when he said majority are non indigine. |

Blue3k2: You're not making sense either. I have known you to disect things with fact but you have fall hand this time. 1.5k was arrested who told you that's all? Have you conducted census about what he says, that you're concluding it to be lie. In your own logic since he is lying, then the number of indigines are the majority. How are you different from him (Ganduje) that's says majority are non indigine. |
