Sotland: Oga it's people like u that will refuse to give ur neighbor food even if he comes to beg. Let me ask u how many people around u have u helped since this lockdown started.Ur heart is made of stone and certainly do not care about other people dying of hunger simply because u want to keep your head safe from covid 19 virus. Death is Death whether thru virus or hunger .there is no such thing as better death. Since the govts have failed in thier part do not Blame the poor if they choose to take their chances out there while running from hunger cos both kills. 4 Likes |

I keep saying people are not taking it serious, because they don't drop dead immediately after contacting the Corona Virus. What is hunger compared to suffocating because fluids have filled your lungs? COVID-19 KILLS FASTER THAN HUNGER. P.s: I am not saying government shouldn't assist, but this hunger they are crying about, is much more preferable to the pain I have seen COVID-19 Patients going through in Isolation centers. 2 Likes |

What people forgot to mention is that the lockdown effect abroad has started to have effect in Lagos two weeks before Governor Sanwoolu announced lockdown in Lagos. A week to lockdown, most business activities had died down as civil servants and schools are on covid - 19 holiday. Most self employed and hustlers have spent three weeks now in its fourth week doing nothing to survive while civil servants, paid employees, military pensioners have collected their salaries. Those on the streets are unemployed people, self employed and hustlers including Area boys and MC Oluomo boys (Agbero) that have nothing to survive. Beer and pepper soup joints on the streets are still making their cool cash in the evening and queues on the ATMs longer to show that Salary earners are having good holiday. Another great observation is that people have stopped answering calls or responding to whatsap messages from some friends and family members. 1 Like |

iammo: More than which 3??! We only know of 2 returnees (1 actually). How many known confirmed cases are in critical conditions or hospitalized??! I put you to task to name 1... Not even a single ventilator is in use across the country (except maybe for Kyari)... If you are talking about 2 weeks, then you are clearly referring to manifestation of symptoms from those newly infected or likely to be infected this week... What about the hundreds (1 believe thousands) that have been infected since late February and early March??! Do they need 2 more weeks to start manifesting symptoms??!... This doesn't add up to the known pathophysiology of Covid-19 across the universe!!! I agree that I'm probably stretching hope and luck... But, no pessimist, not even renown virologists can disprove my query on the reality on ground here... Let's even go with or work with NCDC figures... Let's even assume we currently have only 175 infected... Work this out with me... At least 80 (maybe less) out of that number have been in isolation since early March, how many are showing symptoms??! How many are in dire condition??! How many are hooked to ventilators... Answer this before projecting further negatives. |

CoronaVirusRelo: That is not the point... The point is that Nigerian leaders have stolen the entire wealth meant for the citizens. Countries that lock down like this provided means for survival. Some are paying money to their citizens, people dont have electricity and they will have to use the little fund they have to buy fuel... How will they preserve their meats and other things? U guys dont get it! Nigeria is heading towards big trouble.. Very soon, these guys will be robbing homes to survive. Like i said initially, the govt of the day could have sat down and understood the peculiar nature of Nigeria and closed down the airways and land borders on time At least, Nigerians could have continued to hustle in Nigeria and money could easily exchange hands. Fighting both health and economic crises no be beans. The govt could av chosen to fight only economic crises. In fact, if we had closed our borders on time, we could av been forced to embrace more of made in Nigerian products to survive. 1 Like |

This is the only way the virus will spread. At least 24hours was given before the lockdown, I made same mistake of not fully stocking my house. A lot of people will get infected if the protest continues and by then, the government will be clueless. This is same story as the 5 foolish virgins 1 Like |

Chicagoesontop:Just listen to yourself. The people should blame corona and not the government. Since when as corona become human to make decision and necessary action to saving life? This irresponsible givernment brought this plague upon us, the people shouted to them to close all borders and stop all international flight from coming into the country but No they didnt listen simply because they want their family members and relatives to come back first. After they return they shutdown everywhere. Their relatives that returned are the once that brought this disease into the country. The Italian man they think or claim had the virus was tested negative several times. But thank God for one thing. na them dey catch the disease, and may the virus kill them all. 1 Like |

CoronaVirusRelo:The truth is you still have means to survive. Supposed that you don't have a dine with you and no food stuff at home and you were ask to stay at home for 2 weeks with children and wife at home then you'll understand their pains. You have a means of survival, that's why you are talking like this. Fingers are not equal. |

Naughtysite:Of course they know the right thing to do, but they'll never do it. We live in a capitalist country where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. If not why would a whole Access bank donate 1 billion to a ghost government after deducting sms charges from their customers, the same customers who are starving? This applies to all so called "philanthropists". They're just sharing the money within themselves. 5 Likes |
