Hmmm yet some people are pushing for school reopening here. I understand income is not hurting their account but health safety comes first.

That's a red flag o. Imagine if it happens in Nigeria, how can you keep a 5 years old child in a self isolation. This is serious o.

Am really worried about getting the schools opened in Nigeria. While we have total lockdown of Schools in Nigeria other nations are schooling and graduating their students. A school in US had virtual convocations in May. While nations are moving on despite corona virus we are breeding 1million boys. The church and the mosques should not only be concerned with opening the worship centers. But must work with Government on how to open the schools as well. The future of the churches and mosques is in the educated children. in fact even the developed world with all their infrastructure still had a tough time discerning how precisely to handle the situation with the virtual learning and they all agreed that what they were able to come up with it is still not the same quality as the normal school session. Not to now talk about our case in Nigeria without infrastructure.

For example most programs in Edinburgh university UK did not continue lectures, fortunately in all Uk schools it was already close to end of session, they just told the students to continue to read materials which were normally available to them online.
They then started thinking of how to do the exams, all exams were postponed while all this thinking was going on eventually they concluded exams will be done online, a two hour paper but they will have 48 hours to write, and submit. The 48 hours is to accomodate infrastructural inequity issues across the student population knowing that some of them may have poorer internet access.

I also know that medical student in Newcastle University for example did not write final exams because of the difficulties thrown by inadequate infrastructure for the type of virtual exam they will require. They simply graduated them based on all of the past performances in exams and their clinicals, and so on and so forth .
So infrastructure is key. When majority of the lecturers buy their computers, softwares, data and pay for powers and even stationaries that they use for their work from their salaries. Also how many students have access to the infrastructure they need to receive virtual learning from us on the other end in Nigeria? All these are pertinent issues.
We're in trouble in Nigeria

Our unique climate doesn’t allow easy local transmission, though Nigeria has some cases mainly imported from abroad and some human to human infections, we don’t have 12000 cases of Covid is just inflated for money, though I don’t support opening schools for now till next year

seunlayi:
This is a news that should be spread in Nigeria to let people know how infectious this virus can be.

And to those shouting 'end lockdown' this is a lesson, Nigeria and Nigerians can handle the consequences

Relax we ain’t the only ones in trouble in terms of school, most schools around the world are affected just like us, most USA schools are shut for the remaining calendar year, just leave school for now and thank God we are safe in Africa, see the chaos in Brazil, Mexico and Peru, Covid 19 is a death hurricane

Oni kuure for quote me stupidly. What is my business with your crapy comments?

Oloriburuku omo aale

In South Africa, schools opened today.

The news in this thread stated that NINE schools were shut in Israeli, not all schools, and over six thousand students and teachers isolated.

Nigerian school children, who are supposed to be at home, are busy roaming their streets, visiting friends, playing football in the evenings and some even attending lessons organized by neighbourhood teachers. And we say,"Our schools are closed."

Israeli is able to trace COVID19 To some schools, shut the schools and isolate students. If any of the Nigerian school children who are roaming the streets tests positive today, where will the tracing and isolation begin, and where will they end?

Inda2020:
Fake news

That's right. The same mentality of labelling everything scam in Nigeria. Una go dey alright

Abeg, make school open joohr....

Waiting for SA to give there own LiveScore latest by next week.

I see no opening for schools now.

Simply put virtual learning can't suddenly work in Nigeria. Definitely not with a global crisis.

Schools that are shut will still be reopened after decontamination and staff and students cleared of the virus. They won't stay closed for ever.

So far as Nigeria and Nigerians can not do the China type of total lockdown, it is waste of time keeping healthy people and school children at home. We simply lack the discipline to do effective lockdown. The school children are still walking up and down despite their schools being closed.

COVID19 may be here till 2025, judging by our behavior and lack of discipline. I went out yesterday with a face mask, and people kept telling me to remove it, that Coronavirus has finished. Imagine that.

COVID19 may not go away from some countries in the next ten years. The only compromised solution to solving the issue of reopening schools is to increase the capacity to test so that COVID19 is detected quicker. Communities and even schools that can afford it, should be allowed to build test centers. Thankfully, children are known to survive the virus.

We have a very humid environment, all year round abundance of sunlight, our temperature can be at times 36 degrees Celsius, our atmosphere is steadily sterilised by nature, we consume mainly natural food making us have stronger immune system, malaria endemic areas usually have low deaths that’s why Africa lags behind the world in death count,Africa has the most intact natural environment and the only in the world, we have less pollution than industrialists nations, making our air purer and richer in oxygen

Boss you're so on point. I agree with everything thing you said. I just wish people would know that if we're to open it will be with extreme caution not just because we have to. It still boils down to our present response and preparedness. Nigeria is where you want to build a house and you pay for foundation when you don't even know your site. You can imagine ASUU are still on strike , nothing said about them. I can bet since the closure of institutions none have initiated any form of maintenance or development of existing structures and for the management of the present health crisis. Cos I know My school in particular will be a good playground for this virus . So yeah Nigeria

I think your observations are very plausible factors and I do agree with you on this dear. I have been wondering what might have contributed to the low death tolls in Africa compared to western nations, I think you are making sense here.
But I will send you a write up i did, and would appreciate your candid comments and analysis. Just hope you might spare the time.

Here it goes:

It has been a great concern to informed individuals why the Covid-19 does not have a devastating effect in Africa.

I discovered that countries within the tropical zones have comparatively fewer fatalities. Here is a quick glance at the statistics: I am going to indicate the confirmed cases viz a viz the number of recorded deaths:
Saudi Arabia 101,914 / 712
Pakistan 98,943 / 2,002
Qatar 68,790 / 54
UAE 38,808 / 276
Kuwait 31,848 / 264
Afghanistan 20,342 / 357
Oman 16,882 / 75
Bahrain 14,763 / 25
While there is some truth that the climate of a region may have some effect on coronavirus, I think the effect is more palpable in its potency to lead to fatality than in it's infectivity. As we can see above, although the rate of infection is quite high in those countries, the death rates are rather shockingly low.

On the argument that Nigerians have some measure of immunity to coronavirus in view of their inherent exposure to antimalarial medications is not entirely substantiable especially when it is the case that malaria is a common epidemiological concern in many regions of the world. Malaria is found in more than 100 countries, mainly in tropical regions including:
Large areas of Africa and Asia.
Central and South America.
Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
parts of the Middle East.
some Pacific islands.
The reason why fatality rate to Covid-19 is low in Africa remains a subject line for intense research and study.
There must be something unique outside and beyond the above postulations. Yes, malaria is foreign to Europe, but not those climes listed above. That Brazil which shares almost the same climate with Nigeria and also familiar with malaria has such unimaginable level of fatality to Covid-19 is really cause for concern and study.

It is to be expected, however, that while some factors have proved helpful in limiting the fatality rate to this pandemic in Africa, there are obviously the case of some countries who have been lapse in containing this contagion. Even though the following countries lay within the tropical zones, their records do not look promising. For example;
Egypt 32,612 / 1,198
Iraq 12,366 / 346
Nigeria 12,233 / 342
Algeria 10,050 / 698
Sudan 6,081 / 359
Morocco 8,177 / 208
If Ghana records are to be used as a benchmark, the countries then have a lot to learn from that country. It is generally observed that nations that have been successful with this pandemic have been countries that adopted the following measures:
1) Early intervention and deployment of containment measures.
2) Efficient crisis management protocols
3) Accelerated testing and contact tracing.

I read somewhere that majority of infected ones in Nigeria are within the safe age bracket of 20-50years. Could that have explained our unique ability to fight off this virus even without resort to government intervention? I say this because I am of the school of thought that believes that this virus has infected more persons than are reported by NCDC due to their limited capacity to handle the cases. My belief is not unfounded as there are widespread reports of persons who have fought off this virus while relying on established efficacious medications obtained from informal sources.
I wish the goverment can do a targeted probe into this observation as this might be a strength that can be harnessed going forward.

Sudan 6,081 / 359
Morocco 8,177 / 208
.

This is an impressive analysis, I must say. However, I do believe that there are unique antigens found in our system which induces immune responses, activating lymphocytes that have contributed to our low fatality rate. Given the fact that we can't credit this low rate to the atmospheric condition of our environ, since there are countries with similar atmospheric conditions yet they experience a prolific increase in fatality.

Do note that I'm not discrediting the role of tropical climate in barring the fatal effects of this pandemic. But focusing on that alone would mean ignoring a host of other factors (including the one you stated i.e., demographic distribution).

Consequently, our survival rates could as well be attributed to our inherited unique genetic composition.

I see your point dear. While what you have said is true, the question needs to be asked who pays the price at the end of the day, it is still those doubting. We thank God that this Covid-19 is not as deadly as Ebola, the chances of getting tested or treated would have been a function of party affiliation
My concern is that the right questions are not being asked. Why is it that of all the countries in the world whose population is 100m and above, only Nigeria has the far lowest testing ratio to population? With our present pace in the management of the pandemic, there is no gainsaying the fact that while other nations have worked to get a control of the virus, the contagion is still one that is dictating the pace here. Anymore reason why many are screaming that the govt should get the economy fully open, relax all restrictions and discontinue the virtual struggle. In that way, the fear being traded as a result of the endless daily briefings which yield nothing other than more fears will be outrightly mitigated. While 90% of the populace are living in total oblivion of any kind of pandemic the NCDC boss is saying recently that we are just at the beginning phase. These divergent viewpoints is very concerning to say the least. All this is happening because the earlier lockdown periods were largely squandered. I keep hearing we have improved our testing capacity and yet the reported figures of samples tested betray such assertions. What I have gleaned from the expressed torments of many is that they want to be left alone to sort out themselves as they have seen that relying on any govt is tantamount to building a castle in the air.
The degree of suffering nationwide is unspeakable, but we cannot but help ourselves by taking responsibility because no one is going to send a plane overseas to get your drugs for you. That is my simple message. And we should live thanking God daily that our genes, environment or whatever it was that have combined to wage this battle in our behalf, have all worked to bless us with some kind of immunity, instead of living in painful denial. But for that the situation would have been clearly chaotic and superbly unmanageable.
I really appreciate your depth of reasoning on this issue. Regards

Once upon great write-up .
