The reason for the shortage of reagents in Lagos is simply because it has been difficult to buy from the international market due to its scarcity and not because there is no money or the COVID funds have been stolen by LASG

But the countries you mentioned had tested over 300,000 people before running out of test kits... just a few thousands here and test kits isn't available anymore are you saying they bought only a few test kits with all the donations? Haba let's also be logical.

Tho am a core critics of this govt but am not angry at the shortage of test kits, even the advance countries has their own different shortages also. Either its PPE or test kits or it ventilators.

It's not as if the information that will make people better informed is not out there but the reason why people don't read is just that they need to stay uninformed and ignorant so they can always find something to blame the government for.

This is serious, and without aggressive testing at an early stage. It will be difficult to contain this virus.
Our educational system has been shown to be a complete failure, because if all the universities can't come together and work on how to produce reagents, text kit and others, commercialised it and let the private sector take over from there, then ASUU deserves to be disbanded forever.
.
Money for research are shared in our universities by Dean of faculties. Students are at home now so they don't know who to give such tasks to. Entirely failed system.

Segun Agbaje of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc and Herbert Wigwe of Access Bank have also donated N1 billion each.
Plus host of many other donations and yet they can not afford ordinary test kits.

SHAME ON NIGERIA GOVT


During this difficult period of Lockdown I make money sitting at home, check my signature

Most of the donations are tied to specific projects not just cash. GTBs 1bill was mainly used for the building and equipping of the Onikan Centre for instance. Another one is being built in Yaba IDH. Dangote, CBN Governor, Access Bank MD, Prof Abayomi and some others were seen inspecting the site last week. (News Report plus video).

Probably they need to dedicate part of the funds towards the purchase of test kits and reagents.

The best we can do for ourselves this year is to try and stay alive. It is an individual responsibility now.

The government might not have done the best they should have done obviously but we can't continue sounding the gong of they have embezzled the fund.

All over the world upscaling testing is a priority but a difficult thing currently even when you have all the money in the world.

Let everyone of us take responsibility and do the best we can to protect ourselves by atleast doing the basics as recommended by the government. Let's wear our mask and try as much as possible to maintain social distancing.
It might sound like alot but that's our only option for now.




Reasonable comment sir. Testing is a global issue. Our own case is we lagging far too behind and now having issues like shortages

CORONA VIRUS THE PANDEMIC THAT NEVER EXISTED. THE CURE.

BY Dr Paul Olisa Ojeih MD Iris Medical Foundation Drugs and Pharmaceutical.

On March 3rd 2020, I got a call from The Honorable Minister of Information Alhaji Lai Mohammed. It was a 5 minutes call. The call was centered on Iris medical foundation Drugs and it's effectiveness in treating the Corona virus. I was blunt with the minister, I told him the truth I asked him do you people in Abuja want the Cure or you guys just want to be making billions from grants from America, WHO and other international agencies.

The truth is Covid 19 is a curable viral infection that we should not loose sleep over or fret over.

In 1985 there was a major viral out break in Tanzania. The fatality, was percent the death ratio was 10 infection to 9 death on a daily basis. The then president, Julius Nyanrere, invited Prof Dr Paul Ojeih Snr, founder of Iris Medical foundation who stepped into Tanzania and with in 3 months the virus was contained with in 6 months there was a cure.

That virus was treated with a phynto organic drug known as VENEDI ELIXIR. The virus was later classified as Ebola, virus.
I told Nigerians on social media that our government most especially The minister of health, The presidential Task force on Covid 19, The Ncdc, are reaping Nigerians off and making billions from this pandemic that never existed.

In my letter to the minister of information I told him that Covid 19 is perfectly treatable and curable.

I told the minister that I will infect myself with the virus under 73 hours that virus will be cured. I stake my name, my reputation and credibility that Corona virus is a curable disease.

Iris medical foundation drug and pharmaceutical has an authentic cure for this virus, a cure drived, from the enzymes of plants which is pharmacutically engineered to treat complex viral infection.

Our drug VENEDI Elixir for 18 years has been used, in the treatment of HIV viral infection, Herpes Viral infection, Syphilis viral infection and infections that are drug resistant.

I have told the federal government to stop playing games, to stop looting our treasury all in the name of borrowing money to build isolation centres that we don't need. They know the games they are playing .

They don't want to listen because this Covid pandemic is a money making venture, they are putting fears in Nigerians keeping them at home and milking our economy dry.

So far our government has spent billions of Naira, money that would have been put into good use. The truth they say is bitter, and the bitter truth is Corona virus is another oil boom for some selected criminals In the government.

When Madagascar launched their Herbal initiative to get a cure, I drew the attention of the minister of information and culture, who in turn informed the minister of health Dr Osagie, Ehanire, who went on air and said traditional medicine will be inculcated into the fight against Covid 19.

This was never done. While foot dragging, a tiny island nation like Madagascar found a cure through herbal medicine. Then our shameless Chairman of the presidential task force on Covid 19, Boss mustapha, said we were going to import a plane load of the Madagascar herbal cure.

Shame, to the country, Shame, to the government, shame to the minister of health and the Ncdc that have been playing games and politics and making billions off this pandemic that never existed.

I state, once again for the sake of clarity and emphasis that Corona virus is a baby virus a virus that is perfectly curable under 72 hours with Iris medical foundation drug known as VENEDI Elixir.

I have asked the government give me 10 infected patients let's place them on Iris Drugs we keep meeting with a brick wall resistance. Why are they foot dragging, what is their fear and resistance, they play politics meanwhile people are dying, people are loosing their jobs and the country is sliding into recession.

As a patriotic Nigeria, i have done my bid. I have sounded the alarm that Corona virus is a baby virus its a friendly virus that is perfectly curable.

This is a virus that is very stable in clinicals, a virus that does no harm to the body tissues and organs except when not treated.

In essence the virus can be within you and your body system still functions perfectly well with in 72 hours or even longer.

This can not be said of other deadly virus such as Ebola. Immediately Ebola enters your blood stream your immune gets compromised and shuts down with in 48hours, you start bleeding from all bodily pores all openings and orifice with in 72 hours you're dead.

But with Covid 19 you don't even know you're infected because the virus is not a violent virus that takes over your immunity and shuts it down.

We at Iris medical foundation for over 25 years have been into drug research and cure we understand what it means to compound drugs from plants and enzymes and synthesis it into potent cure.

Our founding MD Professor Dr Paul Olisa Ojeih (Professor of Medicine) is a pioneer in Alternative and comparative medicine and has popularised Alternative medicine and sector that China, and Indian have taking the lead on.

This is one sector that our government has refuses to encourage and invest in, yet a tiny island nation like Madagascar has created and perfected the cure to Corona vurus.

Finally, when we say we In Iris medical foundation Drugs and pharmaceutical say we have the cure for Corona virus, We indeed have the cure.

All we ask is, for our leaders to stop playing Russian Roulette with our lives and avail Nigerians the cure to the virus. May God help us all.

This is a sad story:
A man in Kano went to a foodseller.
He had not eaten in 3 days.
He begged the seller for food on credit.
The foodseller said no because he already gave food to too many people on credit.
The man sat down beside the foodseller’s shop as he had nowhere else to go.
The foodseller told him he’s very sorry and he would like to help but too many people in the neighbourhood have collected food on credit and his business is sinking.
The man sat there and said nothing.
As time went on, other people came into the shop to buy foodstuff and went out- they noticed the man at the door sitting there sleeping. But nobody bothered.
Until one man came later in the day and asked the foodseller: “who is the man sitting at your door?” “Why is he there?”
Then the foodseller said “oh it’s a man who says he has not eaten for 3 days and he wants to collect food on credit but I could not give him because my business is struggling from all the credit I have already given out”.
Then the other man said: “How much is the food he wants?”
The food seller said “It’s a few cups of garri, rice and beans. Everything may be 2,000 naira”.
The other man said “Alright pack everything he wants and more. I would pay for it. Let him go home to his family and eat”.
The foodseller packed all the food and went outside to tell the man with joy that someone has paid for his food.
He saw the man still sleeping.
He tapped him to wake him up, he didn’t respond. Tapped him again, nothing.
The man had died.
He died sitting and waiting for help.
This happened just few days ago in Badawa, Kano. Some people who live in that area know this story.
The man was dead all along while people were coming in and out of the shop thinking he was sleeping.
He died hopeless. He died helpless. He died a man who his country failed.
Kano has 17 million people.
Less than 200,000 people got any form of palliative from the government.
Many people got hungry.
Many people died in their houses.
Many people starved to death from a govt that locked them in and gave no food.
An evil clueless thoughtless leadership.
If you know anyone in this period who is hungry around you and you can afford a little food or money to give him/her, please do.
Many people are walking the streets with an empty stomach, a sorry face and are dead within. It’s only a matter of time before they physically die.
Don’t be the one who walks into a store and doesn’t bother to ask about the beggar at the door.
We all have our problems yes,
But our little curiosity may save a life.
Be the one who asks “who is that person sitting there?” Be the one who helps.
