The US has tested over 4 million persons. Still their health experts have said until the US have enough testing capabilities to test everyone the economy shouldn't be opened.

Our government is fighting this the wrong way. Either ways, the economy suffers. Lift the lockdown now and we will see the resurgence and massive increase of confirmed cases and because of our poor testing ability, more persons will get infected really fast and same economy you're trying to protect now will suffer more then.

Let's not even forget the current struggle with falling oil prices. If we survive this we have bigger issues to worry about.

My take is, this lockdown should stay until we are sure we can test more persons.
have u checked ur analysis again? U even cited the fallen oil price which is d main stay of ur government and u still support a total grounding of the economy in addition. I know ur company will absolve those who will be thrown into the labour market

The alternative is for both the federal and state government to realise that there is hunger in the land.

Open up the economy and let workers resume their official duty both government and private company.

Let the government encouraged Nigerians to wear face mask, use hand sanitizers and wash their hands.

The government while waiting for foreign based Medical solutions like the much talked about vaccines should encourage Nigerians researchers to do more research using our local herbs.

Lockdown is too political as it creates easy access for corrupt politician to steal palliative and government money.

There should be movement on restricted level.
if civil disobedience get to a level, u won't be able to control the situation and if u say soldier should kill someone
then i am sorry for Nigeria, just kill one of the siblings of the doctor in NCDC Lab , then you will know that the virus will get to govt house.


Mskrisx:
With the lockdown cases are still arising.
If I were in the hem of affairs in the country this would be my suggestions;

1. No interstate movement.
2. Wear facemask or die by fire. (North Korean style)
3. Before you can open your business, you must get tested.
4. Schools cant open for now.

Buhari should lift the lockdown and let people die by choice. By the time you bury your parents and children nobody will tell u before u enter house and lock door

you just proved me right. Why is Africa always waiting for White people before they do things?.

Besides, vaccine being tested in Germany or elsewhere doesn't mean it is gonna be out soon. Listen bro, it is all game. US says vaccine will be available 12 to 18 months. They all know what they are doing.

Again, why is AFRICA waiting for White people to produce vaccine?. Don't you have virologists in Africa?. Why must you do follow follow?. Why must you lockdown because they lockdown too?.

Why don't Africans think for themselves?. Why do you have science classes in secondary schools?. Something is seriously wrong with AFRICA

So many whys in your balderdash, with zero solution.

Nobody is doing follow follow. if u want to go out pls do, but stay out there and dont come and infect us

Common sense tells u that when u see fire u dont jump in.

the lockdown is not working

government is not sincere & doesn't care for Nigerians at all

lockdown is close to 4weeks, how many people have been tested so far?

in what way has this government assist Nigerians with relieve materials?

Despite lockdown, people still moves from one state to the other

Government can't lock down people further more else unimaginable will happen

Nigerians are suffering with hunger, it's preventable if government is serious but it's unfortunate that this cursed government we have in Nigeria still stole money meant for testing people & treating people for covid 19

Lockdown is not working

If man can survive war with little food, why can't we just do the same now and battle the chain of Covid-19? I hope people won't learn in a harder way.

To those quoting me:
It is now many are fond in the habit of eating heavily while doing less with limited or no income instead of sitting down with family and plan on whatever is available, manage or ration it... This is better than the situation that you will see food and you won't be able to eat it when the foods feel like paper in your mouth. I v bn thru a lot, I know what I m saying.

If not for the lockdown, this virus would have been working freely in our communities by now
what is this one saying
Re: Coronavirus: Don’t Extend Lockdown, NLC Tells FG by puffy23(m): 1:02pm On Apr 23, 2020
In as much I will want the lockdown to continue to proper manage the situation, As a Nation we can't conti use to keep people at home when this isnt palliative for them and again the lockdown is happening everyone, come to alimosho, it normal activities... lift the ban and find an alternative abeg. People are hungry, some might not even get salary for April cus they didnt work.

u must have secured ur interest and therefore ssupporing this

If you stay in your house and nobody comes to your house, you can’t get the virus. Not only that if you have it you can’t spread it. Nigerians must stop being short term thinkers and start to see beyond their noses. What is the point of going to work only to get the virus and die? I have already told you, now is the time for Nigerians to be their brothers keepers and for the haves to support the have nots. To end the lockdown will result in thousands of not millions dying because of this thing blows up we don’t have the medical infrastructure to treat people. Neither do we have the infrastructure to contain it if it gets out of hand.

Everybody is suffering both rich and poor. We must all take our medicine and use the time to reflect on What kind of country we want in future.

With pressure from NLC and the people, govt will work on that problem, foods can easily be shared or bought online and deliver to their doorsteps, u want to take ur chances outside, no problem go ahead, but remember this, you won’t be able to eat that food when you are sick, struggling for breath in terrible pains, think about your family too, ur “chances” may also bring the end of them, even with the best treatment given to Kyari he still died, what’s the probability that u will be given half of such treatment, we have unqualified doctors and not enough qualified ones, do you think u will be given adequate attention wen thousands of people begin to fall sick? Don’t compare Nigeria to the US, they have one of the best health sector, if Nigeria case is half as theirs then we are finished.

Thank you brother.

Lol,I laughed wen I see some people complaining of the lockdown.I don't knw may be they find it hard and difficult to read foreign news.America are recording over two thousand death every 24hrs despite they av best health facilities.And We are presently in community spread stage yet people were shouting relaxation of the lockdown,it sounds inhuman to me.Relax the lockdown and see over thousands of cases in just a week.Only a foolish people will remember food in time of physical war but how to survive,just because it is not physical war people are lamenting about hunger,av not seen any body that died of hunger in the past few weeks.

The basic fact is that if it get out of hand,some dunce here shouting lockdown won't be given best treatment but the elites and the politicians and people will die like fowl, continue to push for the relaxation of the lockdown and we are in deep shit together.

I don't see Buhari lifting the ban on movement, any time soon, when he has not achieved 1/4 out of the aim of putting up the lockdown umbrella, in the first place.

I expected labour to approach the issue differently. With COVID-19 in town, telling people to wear mask or sanitizing on their own terms is not the best bet. No one can vouch for the efficacy of that alone, in curtailing the spread of the virus.

Buhari instructed some ministries to submit a report to him on how the economy can still afford to breathe under lockdown.

Labour should have requested for a chance to key into that and have a say, since they would be the ones on the receiving end of whatever the ministries conclude on. Not coming out to tell the government to revert to business as usual, when a close pal to the man in charge, recently fell to the indiscriminate arrow of the virus.

this is indeed a catch 22 situation,the devil's alternative,the choice for the presidency is between the devil and the deep blue sea,any decision they will take, people will die.do they sacrifice the entire Nigerian economy and millions of jobs and life or do they relax the lockdown to save the economy ,millions of life's and jobs,in place accept collateral damage of some thousands died to the virus,what choice will it be?
Re: Coronavirus: Don’t Extend Lockdown, NLC Tells FG by Legendguru: 1:17pm On Apr 23, 2020
Buhari and all the governors are confused.

Seems they are the only one benefiting from the lockdown. They have squandered trillions of naira managing about 700 cases.

They care less about the masses. They know the truth that the virus spread will continue even after 4months of lockdown till it goes down like malaria and drugs will be available to treat it soon.

Do not push us this time . Enough is enough

Hungry will kill more than corona. You cannot stop the virus it can only be slowed down my facemask etc. Let the government open and enforce facemask and social distancing. Corona is not a death sentence 99 percent survive. Its mortality rate is less than malaria so why all the panic?

Yes, the virus isn't a death sentence and no, 99 percent wont recover. The mortality rate for Spain, Italy and the UK is around 10% but that's not even why this is scary. Unlike malaria that one can get via mosquito bite, this virus is contracted through humans. Imagine 10% of one million persons dying from this? This is exactly why the lockdown is necessary, not because of the mortality rate but because of how easy shit can go south.

Humans are crazy stubborn, you can't guarantee people will adhere to the face mask and gloves rule.

The best way out until a vaccine comes is more testing and lockdown until the damn curve flattens.

P.s. the Nigerian health sector is so bad that if this goes south, the mortality rate will more than double that of Italy.

Stay safe, stay home.
