This our own covid ehn..
Patients in other countries are struggling to breathe, while our own patients are protesting on the street with enough strength to shout.

Most of them were recruited to hype the case, attract attention and more funding to enable govt officials steal Covid money.

Palliative dem no give,care them no give,they only give a damn.

The idiots are under AC recieving fresh air and allowing us to suffer here, nonsense!

it disheartening to see all this happening at this point in time. Now I see reasons why United nations were evacuating their ppl from Nigeria, despite the fact that they were battling with high rate of the virus in their country.

The Truth is, most homeless People in Naija seem claiming to be positive, simply to be isolated and enjoying free daily square meals.

Like you said, how would Patients, who ordinarily ought to be begging for Ventilators to survive, are protesting with healthy Energy?!

How can you be making an assumption and calling it the truth? Like seriously?

So you think people get isolated because they claim they are positive? Isolation in Nigeria is only done after people have a positive test result, and NCDC has records of such people. Even if homeless people are going to be isolated, they must still test positive before that.

Over 80% of people who test positive to COVID-19 only have mild symptoms. It's only less than 10% who need ventilators. The kind of COVID-19 positive patients who protest in Nigeria are people with either no symptoms or with such symptoms that if they were in developed countries, they would be asked to self-isolate in their respective homes. The reason why NCDC self-isolates every positive case is because the living conditions of most of those people will make it impossible for them not to spread it further if they are asked to self-isolate at home.

my guy i tire, if i talk, all dis yeye paid agents go come rain insults.

He's a failed governor, all what he knows is to embezzle, he should better beg FG if he knows he can't take care of the patients.

Why would the federal government through fistbank send me a mail to support the covid19 fight by donating money.
Please help me tell them am still expecting the my own 20k

So every covid 19 patient needs a ventilator. Bros na wa for u oo. This is the main reason death rate in Nigeria is high, and why many people are dying especially in the north. Most covid-19 patients have mild symptoms and can live normally like any other healthy person. But a small percentage need intensive care and probably ventilators, but Nigeria don't have the facilities to offer this intensive care and that is why many are dying.

Nigerian healthcare sector is beyond horrendous!!!... It might require international intervention for things to change.

This is one of the "good" things about this pandemic... It has brought the hidden suppressed shame to light for the whole world to see!!!

The worst is that no other countries can come to our aid as this is a worldwide pandemic. Every countries are fighting the same virus so we are on our own. This is unlike the Ebola outbreak in Liberia and a few neighboring countries. It was easier to get international intervention then.

What you have failed to understand is that Nigeria's approach to COVID-19 is different from the rest of the world. In most First world nations, assymptomatic patients and those with mild to moderate symptoms are told to self isolate at home to recover except their symptoms become worsened and in these nations there are no isolation centres as only very sick patients are managed in the normal local/regional hospitals whereas in Nigeria any COVID-19 positive patient regardless of their symptomatology status is quarantined in an isolation centre and the sick ones are provided with treatment. The reason is not farfetched! In the developed world, home arrangements and the positive citizens compliance make it much easier to control the spread as people are more likely to adhere to basic instructions. In contrast to Nigeria and some underdeveloped nations the home arrangement is deplorable, some infected patients are homeless and many are not likely to self isolate at home but might obstinately flout the rules and continue spreading the virus in their quest to quench hunger (as most of them will claim). Hence, the safest approach to our predicament considering our peculiarities is to quarantine all infected persons in isolation centres to limit the spread. This is the reason you see lots of infected assymptomatic patients protesting on these videos.

As much as many persons would want to start some shitty conspiracy theories with these videos the truth is glaring cos if our aoproach is same with UK,spain, US, Italy etc we will only be seeing sick patients who would be too sick to stage a protest. However, I advise the Govt to look into their complaints else their containment strategy will fail.

Pls stop the self denials and stay safe.

God i wish I could give u 1,000 likes. Good to finally get to read an intelligent comment on nairaland. Many nairalanders are just too dense.

Thank you
And I feel your pain too. But it's important to put forward the right information for the few logical ones who are willing to learn and adopt safety practices.

Niger state have four cases and they can't take care of them. Shame

Me i don taya to dey explain to people. That 1.2 million Americans have tested positive to covid-19 doesn't mean there are 1.2 million sick Americans in the hospital. A large chunk of that number are self isolating at homes as they have mild symptoms. They only take people to the ER if they developed some severe symptoms and that's the ones we get to see on TV. China built a 1,000 bed hospital in wuhan and they had over 65,000 cases in that region. So where did they put the remaining 64,000 patient? Asymptomatic and people with mild symptoms self isolate at home. The difference between there and here is people adhere to instructions. They know the risk of not adhering to instructions and spreading the virus, so they do the right thing and self isolate and then call when their condition starts to get worse. Though the government over there also have a way of monitoring patients isolating from home.

Here in Nigeria that people fail to adhere to simple traffic rules. Here in Nigeria that someone would see traffic and then follow one way and eventually block upcoming vehicles. That's the kind of people u want to self isolate? The problem of this country is beyond just the government, but the government are not doing enough. I can understand the reason for taking every patients (even asymptomatic) to isolation centers but they need to make provisions too. And I can also guarantee u that there are some covid-19 positive rich people in Nigeria that are self isolating at home or private hospitals. If u have a big house with many rooms (or separate apartments in the same compound), u can successfully self isolate without infecting ur family members.

This is not about fear North. There is bad leadership everywhere. 9ja Delta is very blessed but look @ thier sorry state due to bad government in thier states, after collecting huge allocation from FG

Olalekanbanky1:
This is what u get when u revolve round PDP and APC as if na only them fit do am.

May God heal you guys. Amen.

I'm sure there's some1 out there reading this post, trying to find out if d state governor is PDP or APC so as to know whether to abuse him or not

My opinion to all humanity is that we should turn back to our creator with total submission on to Him, so that we can be forgiven our sins even if we did not survive Corona era
