It is indeed disheartening when people engage in expensive jokes in issues of great importance. Coronavirus is a global pandemic that demands a collaborative effort to tackle its destructive powers, but it's quite unfortunate that some people are making jest of government's efforts and the devotion of health personnel of no value.

It has been widely reported that residents of the state are fond of calling the phone numbers of Covid-19 management team( A group saddled with the responsibility of picking up people with symptoms of coronavirus) to beg for money, food and other things not within the team's jurisdiction.

Quite annoying is the situation where someone who claimed he lived at Eket called the team and complained that he had symptoms of coronavirus. When the health team drove down to Eket, he said he was at Oron. The personnel moved to Oron and called him, he then said he was at Mbo, and then switched off his phone. Who is he fooling?

Should we call it the height of ignorance or outright foolishness? The efforts of the health team was mocked at, thereby ridiculing the effort of government.

Whoever is doing this should have a rethink, and know that this is not the time to make mockery of one's self. That joke is far too expensive. All hands must be on deck to ensure that we support government's effort in the fight against our common enemy.

Residents should call the line only when they are experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, and not to make jest of the whole initiative. Maturity is expected of everyone, especially in times like this.

Please how true is this?
Because I’ve been laughing since

My apologies, please. Our problem since 1960s and the later part of 1990s has always been Aboki and Akwa-Ibomites.

The problem of Nigeria may not be the leaders but the followers as highlighted thus:

1.Who voted for the leaders?

2. Who goes to the leaders to solicit for favors vis a vis #oga find something for boys#?

3.Who complain of bad governance?

4.At the pooling booth, who collect token and not vote their conscience?

5. Imagine the scenario the topic is talking about.....A FELLOWER.

It's a terrific situation that should be looked into.

This is the height of it. Nobody believes in this country anymore except you're at the top. This is the result of poor education and lack of exposure.

While this might be true (there is no way of verification), it is disheartening the way I was responded to when I called on Friday 10th April, 2020.

After that day, I decided that I would rather try to help myself than wait for these people who might no be of any help.

Anyway, this is serious and should be taken seriously. This are indeed trying times.

Look at the Akwa Ibom bringing mouth for Anambra. Bush people. We don suffer I swear.

I disagree sir! Our problem is rather shallow minds like you, who would not only jump into unconfirmed news like this, but mete out derogation on a people with more sanity than yours.

I've been waiting for your kind. Take life easy okay? You don't need to have an erection on any and every remark you see online.

while i applaud your efforts so far. i am not too happy why the team are not making serious effort at killing the spread.
go to oron, you see bear parlous still actively selling. e.g Bantus, cloud9 among others. no social distancing at all. many church's still do their service as if there's nothing called covid19. to face mask shared for the people. a lot of things are just not right in oron. i bet with you if this continue the way it is. you will one day test oron and discovered that almost everybody in oron is infected ( God forbid )
Prevention is better than cure!.
