It is sad that the Nigeria population are legally illiterate. What the president declared yesterday would have essentially triggered a civil war in some advanced nation. The fundamental basis of our independence, sovereignty and the labour of our founding fathers are being taken away while we applaud the intervention, damn the consequences of abandoning the quartine, it's our life, no govt has the right to do what Buhari has done to the people. But, what do I know?

But seriously, even though we all know things ain't that good in Nigeria.
But what exactly do you guys want this president to do that you guys won't complain?
You complained that he closed the borders too late and now he's taken another step people are still complaining even the so called elite.
all they are saying is that due process should be followed in decision making...
make such decisions singlehandedly is dangerous for the well-being of this nations...
infact such decisions show some people are somewhere whispering into is ears. people who are not democratically elected who should have nothing to do wuth decision making what happened to consulting the legislature

Thank you Sir. He never lockdown Borno state despite d killings and insecurity.

This will be d end of democracy in Nigeria.
Revolt will start soon and spread throught d country and am glad, our incompetent leaders will have nowhere to run to.
That overfed one in Ekiti too is declaring Curfew tommorrow:his only achievement in office.

Sane leaders would have:
Declare emmergency in our rotten health sector
Import drugs,
Renovate delapedated buildings and build temporal wards
Employ temporal health workers nationwide
Mobilize d health sector by paying outstanding dues
Make every filling stations,hospitals,road blocks,schools,garages test centers
Make ambulances available at every test centers for transport
Orientate d people

Lockdown does nothing than spread the virus silently.Infected people wont b able to access medical facilities and result to self help thereby spreading d virus.

We have useless leaders in this country at all levels.

Has your government provided the stimulus package the developed nations did for their people before the total lockdown? Starvation will kill many people before the 14 days trial elapse.

The most sensible comment. They have been insulting the general for saying nothing on this Corona thing. Now, the general has tactically ambushed them and they are all shitting in their trousers.

There's no reason to lockdown entire states, this issue could have been resolved by shutting down airports and seaports. 90% of the COVID 19 cases in 9ja came from travelers. Everyone that came into this country for the past 60 days should be tested including anyone they came in contact with, no exemptions! This is what sane countries are doing but a zoo like 9ja obviously lost its sanity long ago....SMH!

Mr man he never said it was wrong to close down the borders, but that it should be done within the law by seeking permission from the national assembly so that it doesn't become a norm in the society.

For democracy to thrive, it necessary to follow constitutional laid down rules and regulations in implementing the president's idea.

The president is not wrong by closing the borders, but the way he went about it is constitutionally wrong...

You know enough.

I don't know why our elites are these selfish. We blame Buhari for not closing air travel on time now they are complaining about lock down. Even American president testified that this is a different type of war they have never experience before
