Bollocks!!!!!! Germany alone does half a million COVID-19 tests weekly with a population of just above 80 million people, the story about testing kits bring limited us complete nonsense....how would Nigeria not have at least 50,000 test kits on standby ![]() ![]() God JamParkMe: 7 Likes |

My advice to most people is to limit exposure to other people and take anti-malaria drugs containing chloroquine at least once. If you continue to rely on this useless government, you are on a long thing. You should know by now that the life of a cow is more important to them than yours, so be wise! 3 Likes |

I don't know why Nigerians feel they are always the only one facing some issues, read me clearly, there are not enough testing kits all over the world, INCLUDING U.S.A and the U.K, go to any U.K blog, news site, and read thousands of comments about lack of testing kit, as a matter of fact, if U.S and U.K should carry out full test, i can tell you they will have massive massive casualties, this is a global crisis, the NDCD or whatever can't do much, its a global problem. Oga the United States just took delivery of testing kits yesterday, yet they said the kits can't even test Newyork city alone, let alone the whole of Newyork then the whole U.S, no kits available. Demand is super higher than supply. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Why am I not surprised? I knew this is what it will come down to. These people should be ashamed of themselves. This is a national emergency and they're still carrying on with "who you know". What a mess |

If they refuse to test you don't worry. But immediately you see symptoms go back to where they rejected you. Infect them with the virus simple. I'm already in self isolation but they way body dey do me here. I don't want to have a negative feeling. I'm very close to Lagos. I have had contact with someone living around airport in Lagos. He has visited like four times now. I don't want to be negative. If I call the toll free number and they are talking nonsense, I will roll out straight. |

/ You cannot just walk in and get tested. There are not enough resources for that. But then NCDC should have information available instead of passing the buck. I already know that some of the officials are already "eyeing" the latest SUV to buy with the funds donated to the Agency. \ 4 Likes 1 Share |

Geofavor: Absolutely. Restrict testing to only those displaying symptoms while supply is limited and then once there are enough testing kits, ramp up testing. Right now, the whole world is fighting and vying to get their hands on the same limted supplies of testing kits, ventilators, N95 masks, gowns, etc. Think about that, there isn't an unlimited supply of this stuff neither is there a magic wand one can wave to make it available to all. 2 Likes 1 Share |

As of today, the test kits cost 300 pounds. That’s over 130k before naira was devalued. This country even though they are foolishly buying Toyota camrys is stone broke. It is only the well connected and those showing advanced symptoms who will have access to the kits. Which explains our low numbers. The only hope is that those low cost kits in the news are viable and can be produced quickly. Outside of that OYO 3 Likes |

darealez: Sure I believe the rich & powerful will somehow get their hands on the test. Unfair as it may seem, that's how the cookie crumbles. One of my favourite basketball players in the U.S Kevin Durant got tested without symptoms in the early phase of the spread. But let me ask you, how do you know Chioma had no symptoms? Remember now she and her infant just returned home from the U.S, it's likely she may have been displaying symptoms to demand a test. Never speculate. |

JamParkMe:Don't be foolish, and stop misinforming the public, No European country turns their back at citizen willing to get tested, even USA just approved a 5 minutes test kit. Did you read the post at all? How many confirmed cases in Nigeria exhibited COVID-19 symptoms before they got tested? Any responsible citizen that had contact with a positive person must present himself/herself for a test and according to the OP, such a person would be treated the same way and the virus would continue to spread. Our Government is irresponsible because of irresponsible people like you that defend them. 7 Likes |

JamParkMe: I guess you've not heard of cases where the person does not show any symptoms or very mild symptoms but is infected and can infect others. It is not true that other countries are testing only those showing symptoms. Some countries quarantine you right from the airport and test you. 1 Like |
