This so called educated elites are still the ones that would cry foul when shit hits d fan. It seems to me that criticising the president is becoming a stimulus reaction for so many. I don’t blame them though. No one actually knows if Buhari is aware that he’s still president. If he is, is he aware that this is his second tenure? Cos the nigga on tv just look like someone who was tapped up from sleep and told:- “hey you’re president, we need you to read this out while we record. But still, the elites are really embarrassing the nation... Wole Soyinka is just another embarrassing elite at this point. 156 Likes 13 Shares |

My thoughts sync with the professor. Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen have killed more than coronavirus. Nobody lockdown anywhere. Because of one common cough and catarrh. Everybody is now panicking and hiding. 17 Likes 2 Shares

Seriously, Nigerians are fond of overdoing everything in this country without using their head. Its really pathetic. I've never sided uncle Wole b4, but I'll go with him on this one. No proper consideration whatsoever. Soldiers are busy looking for whom to flog(other wise know as operation "Rihana dance") 22 Likes 2 Shares |

I won't lie. This lockdown can't even be sustainable for 5 days. We like copying oyibo but can't even do it well. How can u lock down a place so big without providing social welfare for the people. What about people that survive on daily earnings? The other countries that lock down, provide food, money and other benefits for their people, but mumu leaders will just want to lock people up just like that. From day 5, people will start running out from their houses, it's better the "audio" corona virus kills them than hunger to kill them. Buhari had the time and opportunity to just quarantine and isolate just few travellers coming in, but he didn't, now he wants to lockdown over 30million people.

I am not a fan of Buhari but, I am disappointed in what this Prof said. Apart from whether it is constitutionally right or wrong to lockdown a State, isn't this the right thing to do, especially as this global pandemic is ravaging the world without any end sight. Please, we should sometimes not talk for talking sake. 17 Likes 1 Share |
