How Rivers State Lockdown Trapped Me In Port Harcourt (Pictures) by chino11(m): 12:05pm On Mar 31, 2020 |
Rivers State lock down trapped me in Port Harcourt as I was about to return to base in Awka. Everywhere is locked down in Port Harcourt. Restaurants shut, fastfoods shut, hunger set in to 90 degrees. I actually made moves, when I got to the boundary around Elele, stern looking combined team of army and police stationed were turning people back. Despite my contacts within the corridors of power in Rivers state, they never listened to me. I retreated back to PH, locked myself inside the hotel room, thinking of the next moves as my phone kept ringing, wifey was so worried about me. I drove out of my hotel room where I have been trapped for almost a week now, I went round town, nothing to eat. Then I went to Market Square in GRA, see how people queued to enter the mall. It was like those experience one usually see back then at US embassy in Lagos. In a nutshell, hunger could kill faster than Coronavirus. Let fastfoods, restaurants open for business. Mods push this so that restaurants could open for some of us that can't cook. Thank you This is like a war time.. 90 Likes 10 Shares

The situation to me is being mismanaged. Stopping people from accessing food and food itemes is madness. Our leaders should be cautiouse of starving the masses to death as stockpiling of foods is only possible to few. 108 Likes 2 Shares |

About last week, I advised people to withdraw enough cash and keep with them always and people thought it was a stupid advice. I live in a cashless society yet I still keep up to $10k at home right now with no less than $2k in my wallet everywhere I go, no joke. I know that bank deposits are safe even after pandemic but I keep the maximum amount that I can afford to loose in case of fire or theft but will be enough to last me for a long time just incase online transactions fail. If this pandemic lasts another 3months which I don't pray, I bet that several banks ATMs will start paying less than requested. Well, goodluck to you Chino. 32 Likes 1 Share |

J111333: You don't understand my predicament. I have enough cash right here, but the cash is now useless as there's no food, I mean cooked restaurant food or fast food meals. There's no restaurant nor fast food that is open right now in PH. 101 Likes |

But I thought they said no movement at all. I was expecting that after two -three days we can come out in little packs. Honestly the purpose of stay at home is defeated 4 Likes |

J111333: I wish you are here to understand the situation. There's no even ordinary gala seller and coke seller on the streets. Roasted plantain and fish are equally out of the streets. There's a very powerful task force that moves around PH to make sure that food vendors or roadside food vendors are flushed out or even arrested for flaunting government order. I normally don't eat those roadside foods, but my guy the situation is getting out of hand, if I see roasted plantain and fish I go eat now 38 Likes 1 Share |

chino11:Then Wike is very wrong with that kind of lockdown. You don't stop stop essential services in a lockdown. There is a stay at home order here too. Eateries are closed but drive thrus are open, the post office still delivers mails, groceries stores are open except that most food items are often sold out in them and truck drivers are busy moving food from state to state. No sensible leader stops essential services especially food vending. 24 Likes |
