You are very correct. I saw your other post where you said you initially supported the lockdown believing they'll follow it with aggressive testing which unfortunately they didn't. That was a wise statement, Sir.
.
Looking at the current situation though, no vaccine or drug in view, plus the low death rate of Covid-19, I'll just suggest they allow things go back to normal. It's not as if you can keep people indoor till a vaccine is discovered

Exactly

It is unfortunate that sometimes our Government do copy pest but the most painful one is not coping the good part of any but concentrating on the bad side.

Copy and pest lockdown.

UNICEF is on point. Copying other countries without considering our peculiarities is not a wise decision

Our leaders will never have ever have sense... All they do is copy and paste foolishly!!!...

How can Nigeria not sit down and fashion out its own unique path to curb the pandemic without hurting lives and economy?!... Everything is rocket science to these people!!!

u are the only rightful thinking somebody here...both organisations got ulterior motives.
so which ulterior motive do UNICEF have by saying lockdown will make many suffer in Africa which is quite obvious because our society is very well different from that of the European. Moreover the western world is already suffering due to the lockdown measures not even to talk about Africa that is more impoverished

According to the UNICEF, government should only locate hotspots for lockdown and not just everywhere. Therefore, based on that, Nigeria should put the following places in total and indefinite lockdown: Lagos, Kano, Oyo, Ogun, Katsina, Borno, Osun, Kaduna, and FCT.

The SE governors must expedite action now, our northern and Western borders must be under strict supervision 24/7 now! States like Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi must take extra precautionary measures to ensure that people are stopped from coming into the SE from these epicenters.

The SE must increase its testing capacity while closing our borders to ensure that our success so far is not frittered away.

What's this one saying.

Abeg go and sleep.

The truth is that everybody is confused. We don't know what to do again. Stay indoors will lead to mass hunger. Easing lockdown will still lead to mass virus spread and our health officials will be overwhelmed rejecting patients without covid cause of fear. Our health officials have families too who depend on them. Some are breadwinners.
The only solution am still thinking is Stay indoor with mass palliatives from the government. All the recovered stolen funds should be channel to the streets for food. Suspend all road infrastructures for now. Foods should be the urgent matter now if they are planning another lockdown.
All these shall pass
Oga no economy in the world can sustain a lockdown indefinitely. Why is US easing up despite their numbers being the highest in the world, because they are tired. Millions are losing their jobs,bankruptcy, poverty rate all will increase and this has an indirect relationship to even the populace health. At the end the lockdown will have a negative effect which UNICEF highlighted in the article. Africa is even worse,we just copied and pasted what the Europeans were doing without paying attention to societal differences. Look at the Swedish model that is looking viable, they had no lockdown but found ways to mitigate the virus. The point is they should have been a logical approach to find a buffer. Mitigate the virus spread but at same time make sure that the populace can still earn, feed, seek healthcare etc....WHO predicted that malaria,TB,HIV etc will kill more than twice of what it kills in Africa because of the direct and indirect effect of the lockdown. Why?...because health workers are not longer in the hospitals, private clinics are closed, NGO have run short of funding, Poverty rate increases and the common man won't be able to get treatment, drug,surgery etc for his common ailment etc etc...look at the bigger picture. Do you know how many that had to stop cancer treatment, postpone surgeries because of this lockdown

each country needs to have a full policy document and piece of legislation on disaster management, this fire brigade approach is very stupid... we should set up a special fund in case things like this happens, because even after Corrona virus goes, Trump is hell bent on giving us another World War, and I doubt Trump vs China, Russia , Iran nuclear war wouldn't be more catastrophic than Corrona Virus, infact we should thank Corona virus for slowing down tensions between the western power bloc and the eastern power bloc

The sooner we start preparing for Lockdowns and War the better for us all, rather than making silly excuses of hunger , poverty and disease

Whats our excuse as Africans not to prepare, Isreal, Saudi and other middle eastern countries without good soil imported tonnes of fertile soil into their country and now produce more than enough agricultural product that they even export.

yet Africa with the resources are listening to insults from UNICEF saying blacks cant follow simple health guideline because they are lazy and hungry.. the sickening part is many people are already commending UNICEF for calling blacks hungry , lazy people who would prefer a plate of food to keeping healthy during dangerous pandemic

In 2020 white racist Unicef Directors still tells Africans , not to take simple health precaution because they are lazy , hungry poor and stupid, while the Unicef workers conducting this report had since travelled back through their various embassy in Nigeria to go to their own country to observe every health directives including lockdown

Buhari please end the lock down so that Kano and Jigawa people, lagos and ogun people can enjoy free movement and transmit whatever is killing them in hundreds across the entire country from SouthEast to SouthSouth and everywhere, Wike should also open the state borders and let Almajiri bring in food from Kano, last last na una without basic health insurance go suffer pass, Unicef people are already in their various countries 2nd week corona entered Nigeria, observing lockdown, Trump test all staffs and people close to him regularly, and once you are positive you can kiss the white house good bye, he isn't even travelling anymore for November election campaings

I think a dunce who was raised by a prostitute should read the opening paragraph of my comment where I implore that next time, we need policy and laws to mandate us to prepare for pandemic, war and disasters before hand and not wait for it to happen while acting sentimental like losers

If book haram was killing at the rate Corona virus is killing, from street to street, will hungry fools still shout they are hungry and face death?

truly many Africans cant think, they are lower than animals, they just want to eat , reproduce and die.. even if it means killing others to eat they don't mind

UNICEF, WHO, Deep state etc.

You're all the same. This is just an attempt to save face. Why this after 2 months, are you just realizing this simple fact? No, you have known all along.

All this scam is about selling vaccine and worse still the microchip inplant for digital ID goal. Is Covid-19 real? Yes. Is it natural or man made? Yet to be proven but using it as an opportunity to achieve an agenda is 100% yes!

Unfortunately, it's not working out as modelled and now you want a safe landing to restrategize.

Nigeria will always be your helpless victim until we build our economy and stop selling our country to the highest bidder.

I supported the lockdown at a time I expected aggressive testing, contact tracing, etc.

That wasn't done so there's really no point keeping people at home while testing 200 per day in a state with a high rate of community transmission.

The reality now is that the virus was here and still here.

I can't believe you took time to type this rubbish. Some one calls poverty, hunger and disease "Silly excuse" . UNICEF was talking with facts, using data obtained from mortality of poverty related childhood disease compared to mortality of covid 19 in developing countries, and a fool without any fact spewed gibberish. Are you aware that more than two million under 5 children die yearly from nutrition related factors alone without a pandemic ? No facts, just rants. Since the government is not ready to shoulder responsibility of taking care of it's poor citizens , then they should not decide what manner of death they wish. And next time, talk with facts

No logical approach at this time can work in Nigeria because we are communal, socialise and stubborn in nature. Social distancing is not working which i have seen in most of our markets, banks and buses, not everyone are wearing the fask and most of the mask are just for fashion and less preventive. I hope we won't get to a point where health officials will totally suspend all operations cause they human with families too who need support from citizens like us.
It looks like we are at the Mecy of God and our Immune system cause we are pesently in a confused state logically.
