Wrong headline. There is a difference between Mainland and Mainland LGA.

Most affected local government area is Lagos Mainland LGA. That's places like Ebute Meta. If you're in this axis, better lock yourself indoor 24/7.

Mainland (LGA) as reported here is Ebute Meta

In other words the government is dumb and stupid for taking an approach of levity from the beginning. By the time they spend all the national budget money for 2020, 2021, 2023 to 2030 together combined to fight Coronavirus in 2020 alone, they will wake up from their stupidity. 14 days lockdown so far was a waste. The current 14 days lockdown we are in will be another waste because the fucking GOVT lacks people with sound critical thinking ideas that can curb the spread. If I was the governor of LASG , I would do a better job 100000% than what we have now. You can't just shut down without testing, they should have bought at least like 100 million test kits, distribute it like 2 million per LGA and LCDA, then enforce a lockdown. Have LGA testing units go out and test people from house to house, collate the results, then you know the areas that has a high rate of Coronavirus and those that don't. Then you shutdown those areas within the lockdown, nobody goes in or out. Other areas with no cases are opened up and people continue living their lives but with safety guidelines of no mass congregation, compulsory facemasks or ppe when going out to work or anywhere, social distancing, no public transport allowed, only government transport (BRT etc) so that they can enforce and monitor the social distancing compliance when people are going from one place to another, while the state remains on lockdown from international and local travels, nobody is allowed to enter Lagos without going through a 14 days quarantine at a govt isolation center. Then those areas that you have shutdown under the lockdown, you concentrate on distributing relief materials and money to the people there. The infected ones will be evacuated to the isolation center for treatment, and mass decontamination of public spaces, houses and homes within those areas are carried out. You treat the State as if it's a computer programme and you execute it in clusters. Like you are doing programming up to down and down to up, YOU CONQUER THIS VIRUS BY RUNNING LIKE AN INTERPRETER THAT TAKE THE CODES LINE BY LINE, LOCATION BY LOCATION, YOU CAN'T DEFEAT IT BY ACTING LIKE A COMPILER THAT WANTS TO RUN THE CODE AT ONCE. That's what they are doing now and guess what? SYNTAX ERROR everywhere. Over 300 cases in Lagos now and the government is still sleeping

What you’re seeing now is the result of ramped-up testing....
The NCDC is probably testing more people daily now than they used to weekly.

[s]No need for the thesis (which tbh I won’t bother to read)...
There’s NO country worldwide where everyone has simply relied on government alone to fight Covid-19.

and what is the damn essence of a govt that can't enforce laws and simple regulations?...

did kiyari and top govt officials self isolated?

if the head is rotten, the body is useless!

the shithole should be declared a banana republic!

Openbusiness:
Story, take responsibility because your hopeless do-nothing govt kept billions of money in my pocket to spend for me to take responsibility on their behalf, mtchwwwwwwwww. No government survives mass anarchy! Let them continue dulling and let's see who will lose at the end. Already so much billions in revenue has been lost, so much billions of govt allocation funds spent, yet the matter never even enter gear 2, we still dey gear 1. The Nigerian economy is already romancing with recession, by the time the recession get belle dem go know wassup. Foreign countries like US, UK, EU that normally play big brother and captain hero to save have their own plates full and battling for survival of their own.

Biko what are the names of the communities under Lagos mainland local govt?

Bros, This is not about politician. Its a world pandemic. We should just be praying it doesnt get out of hand.

Ebute Metta East, Ebute Metta West, and From Costain roundabout all the way through Apapa road to Oyingbo, all the way through herbert macaulay to adekunle, makoko , panti, casino, alagomeji, sabo, Agnes. unilag road, waec down to Jibowu then branch to all that side and places in between are under now Yaba LCDA , not Mainland LGA again

TheGoodJoe:

The question is, why did they wait too long to ramp up the test and why are they not taking massive action to increase testing capabilities in other countries.

Even the current rate of testing is not enough if we consider how deadly this virus is around the World. We need to act faster in a very large capacity.

MC Oluomo and Tinubu won’t be happy to hear this

Look at where this virus is hitting the most in Lagos, and you already know who’s losing...
Covid-19 has no moral or political compass and thus folks should quit being delusional and save their own lives.’

Holaomoakin:
Why we kept on having figures like this from Lagos i.e spikes is because each time government relaxes lockdown,, 'we don't care anymore!' now government had started planning another for CEOs then there comes the spike, residents should help the government now because no one knows the last person that will test positive in Lagos yet.

LEBEfirstson:
AS IF WE NO DEY EVER GET MALARIA BEFORE THIS CORONA VIRUS TALK START! THE KAIN MOSQUITO WEY DEY BITE PEOPLE FOR HOUSE EVERY DAY IS ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE TO GET MALARIA, TYPHOID JOIN. EVEN IF YOU RUN TEST ON 95% OF PEOPLE IN LAGOS, YOU GO STILL FIND SYMPTOMS OF MALARIA IN THEIR BODY DUE TO THE KAIN MOSQUITO WEY DEY BITE, CONTAMINATED WATER, HEAT AND SO ON. PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY POSITIVE AS THEY CLAIMED, WHY ARE THEY NOT DYING IN NUMBERS EVERY DAY?? YOU GO DEY.. SEE 5 PERSONS DISCHARGED FROM OUR IDH FACILITY EVERY DAY AS IF THEY HAVE CURE FOR THE CORONVIRUS BUT IT'S ACTUALLY MALARIA TREATMENT THEY ARE GIVING PEOPLE BECAUSE WE ARE USED TO MALARIA AND TYPHOID

Jack500:


But u are happy to hear it abi. Thunder fire u, bad belle.

9jaRealist:


Covid-19 testing is NOT like going into your neighborhood pharmacy and buying a pregnancy test...

Not only do you have to set up molecular labs (because it’s been the only reliable test thus far)...
But you have to properly train personnel and buy the necessary reagents - which are in short supply because EVERYONE wants it.

Oga if the people are dying then the government is dying. RULE #1 THE PEOPLE make the country, and not the country that makes the people. RULE #2 POLITICS 101 WITHOUT THE PEOPLE THERE CAN BE NO GOVERNMENT, But without the government people can still exist. THE PEOPLE ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF GOVERNMENT! Only A STUPID GOVERNMENT will sit idly by and watch its people die by the thousands because WHEN THE PEOPLE DIE BY THE THOUSANDS JUST KNOW THAT THE GOVERNMENT IN POWER IS ALREADY DEAD. Either 2 things will happen: NO GOVERNMENT (Anarchy) or NEW GOVERNMENT! EITHER WAY the current government is a goner. Why do you think Trump is running down the clock 24/7 giving Americans $1200 each, asking congress for $250 billion for businesses affected etc. Because he will be a GONER by November elections if the people die in thousands like they are doing and the government is as little as PERCEIVED to be INEFFECTIVE in meeting their needs and handling the situation. Same thing in Europe. Just wait and see. If APC won't be finished politically dead and buried if this COVID-19 kills thousands of Nigerians. Let's see whether APC won't lose Lagos election for the first time in 20 years when Lagosians start dying like chickens. They lose the power, they lose the privileges that come with the power and their political empire will evaporate right before their eyes. THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT AND MOST VALUABLE ASSET AND POWER IN ANY COUNTRY IS THE PEOPLE.

9jaRealist:


The “I jumped off the bridge because others jumped” argument?

Anyway, you will not get any argument from me...
I’ve regularly said that BOTH the government and the governed are lawless in Nigeria.

However, while there’re many things the government can be blamed for...
It should not be blamed for the obtuse civic irresponsibility of ordinary Nigerians.

All those is long story. South Africa has done over 110,000 tests and we have done only about 10,000. Yet we are giving excuses.

9jaRealist:


Our first test was done in South Africa...
Now we have moved from about 100 (or less) tests daily to between 1,500 and 2000 - and building.

We are moving in the RIGHT direction...
So you can stay a PRISONER of the past or concentrate on making your present/future much better.

NIGERIA IS A POOR NATION...
But both the leaders and led continue to delude themselves that we're rich.

Nigeria's best "riches" are human beings...
Unfortunately we fail to adequately add value to it - and many 'developed' run away!

9jaRealist:

Natural resources means little or NOTHING unless properly harnessed and value-added...
The folks making real money and deriving meaningful riches from your Zamfara gold are the refiners abroad.

Those “natural resources” will remain sub-optimal until Nigeria fully/adequately develops its HUMAN resources...
When Nigeria adequately develops its human resources, they’ll be able to add value to natural resources - and create WEALTH for Nigeria.

TheGoodJoe:
Which right direction? With the very slow pace? Why did it take so long to set up centres? While other nations were equipping and testing, these guys were joking and sitting on it.

I am talking about the present that we are not testing enough. Not the past. We need to channel all resources to fight these virus. What the heck are they doing with the N15 Billion released by the Presidency for the tackle of Covid-19?
