Coronavirus Cases in Nigeria

Presently, on 1st March 2020, one case has been confirmed in person of an Italian man who visited the nation. Hundreds if not thousands of others are supposed to be under quarantine but not yet. Another serious suspect is the taxi driver who took the infected Italian man to his destination. The places the Italian man visited had been locked down which include offices of Exxon Mobil and Agip (I think) in Victoria Island, Lagos. The other place locked down is a cement factory in Ogun State owned by Lafarge, at Ewekoro, news reported that some visitors who had been in contact with the infected Italian man had visited the place. The worst and most worrisome situation which might make Nigeria second largest victim country in the world, if the story is true, is that the said taxi driver is at large, he ran away avoiding being quarantined, demanding for 100million naira for his family, saying that he wont be the only person to go down, wishing to see the Nigerian president, Buhari and hug him. He is threatening to spread the virus TO ALL. Till date, he has not been arrested. Can you imagine how worse the situation would be if he is actually infected and many people had been in contact with him since then till now and till, who knows when, he would be arrested and quarantined?

All passengers on board in the airplane that brought the Italian man are under track, but myself cannot boast for my nation that all these people would be tracked down and put under quarantine.

What is the current situation with the coronavirus in Lagos, Nigeria, and should I be scared travelling there?

Nigeria reported her first and only case on Friday and it has remained so.

About 30 to 100 persons who came in contact with the victim have been quarantine and being observed presently.

The Italian who imported the virus to the West African country without Custom Wahala is said to be stable with no signs of departure into the great beyond anytime soon.

Anyway this is what I heard from several sources with a little salt and Chilli here and there.

As at today, global CONVID-19 cases are:

So are Lagosians worried about this virus?

We were, mostly in the first two days.

Our shopping malls were already lacking hand sanitizers. A few were walking around the city with masks.

And men, Nigerian men who never fail to find a reason to destroy one or few bottles of beer were very pleased to hear that alcohol could destroy the virus, hence, the bars were unfortunately filled to the brim in few places.

There is news that frequent-Sex is also good for the virus, considering I haven't set eyes on my neighbours for two days it might be that this news is being taken with good faith.

So, is Nigeria safe right now?

Firstly; we, I have my own worries and the virus is the least of them right now.

I have to deal with NEPA, before traffic, then I'm still contemplating on reporting the gatekeeper to the landlord; he swears he doesn't smoke wee but wee is all I perceive in and around him.

As you can see the virus is our least worry presently unless something changes.

There is something the world doesn't know about Nigeria:

We are at our best when you expect us to be at our worst.There are things that would happen in Nigeria and one could say; oh, this will destroy this country, this will divide them...

Boy, calm down, that is the moment disunited Nigerians unite to tackle the situation amicably.

Although I don't have much faith in the government to keep me safe, if ever trouble-jam-problem on the virus case, there are people I'm betting my last Naira on, the rich folks, they would do anything to keep me safe.

Not that they like me, but they won't want a virus from ordinary poor folks to wipe them and their family off the earth.

They would donate billions to ensure I and fellow Nigerians don't contract the virus.

So you're safe living or coming into Nigeria, presently.

Abraham Lincoln’s Top Hat: The Inside Story

Abraham Lincoln’s Top Hat: The Inside Story In August 1864 president Lincoln lost his hat when his horse was startled by a loud noise. The hat was received later with a "bullet hole through the crown." The loud noise was an assassination attempt by unknown sniper Abraham Lincoln was our tallest president. At 6-foot-4, he would stand out even today, and he certainly towered over the men and women of his era. The top hat he habitually wore in public made him taller still. You couldn’t miss him in a crowd. The 16th president wore the top hat in war and peace, on the stump and in Washington, on occasions formal and informal. He wore it the night he was assassinated. Likely a descendant of the 17th-century steeple, or sugarloaf, hat, which was in turn influenced by the headgear worn by soldiers, the top hat gained in popularity until, by the early 1800s, says Debbie Henderson in her book The Top Hat: An Illustrated History, “it had become the irrepressible symbol of prestige and a...

History’s Worst Execution Methods: Flaying

History’s Worst Execution Methods: Flaying Flaying — better known as “skinning alive” — has a long and grotesque history. Records of the practice exist as far back as the Neo-Assyrian Empire (beginning in 911 B.C.), but it has cropped up in most civilizations at one time or another, including Medieval Europe (where it tended to be used as a punishment for traitors) and in the ritual human sacrifices made by the Aztecs in Mexico (the Aztecs, at least, are believed to have skinned the body after the sacrifice had been made). Various techniques have been utilized in the many different cultures in which flaying has been employed, but the basis remains the same: Slowly, excruciatingly slicing the skin from the body while keeping the victim alive for as long as possible (and when feasible, removing the skin intact). Rendering Of Flaying Wikimedia Commons Carvings from the Assyrian period show the process beginning with incisions to the thighs or buttocks, while the European method — pictured...

In 1990, an improperly installed window on British Airways Flight 5390 fell off during midflight causing rapid decompression in the cockpit

In 1990, an improperly installed window on British Airways Flight 5390 fell off during midflight causing rapid decompression in the cockpit. Flight attendant Nigel Ogden just happened to be entering the cockpit when he heard the loud bang and saw the pilot getting sucked out. In the reenactment image, you can see Ogden holding on to his legs, while the co-pilot is trying to rapidly descend in order to reach a safer altitude. Most of the crew thought the pilot was already dead, but Ogden continued to hold on. There was also the fear that if he did let go, the body might collide with the plane's engine, wing or stabilizer, creating more havoc. All he knew for sure was that the pilot was slipping further and further out the window and his head was repeatedly slamming against the fuselage. After 15 minutes of flying with a broken window, the plane landed safely at Southampton Airport. Ogden suffered frostbite on his face and damaged one of his eyes; he also dislocated his shoulder. The...

Inside the Repulsive World of 'Hurtcore', the Worst Crimes Imaginable

Inside the Repulsive World of 'Hurtcore', the Worst Crimes Imaginable The 36th President of the United States, Lyndon Baines Johnson named his penis "Jumbo" and he often displayed Jumbo to fellow congressmen and reporters. He pulled it out so often that he pretty much reduced much of his presidency to a literal dick-measuring contest The 36th President of the United States was a big man. At 6-foot-4, he was physically imposing — he would also stand far too close to people, which only served to amplify his size. His personality was big, too, as he was known for cursing like a sailor, telling dirty jokes and openly talking about — and even sharing — his bodily functions with anyone close by. He was certainly big on accomplishment as well, having served as the Senate Majority Leader before becoming JFK’s Vice President and eventual successor. As a president, Johnson had a historically big record — both good and bad — with the most significant civil rights record since Ab...

Florida's Messiest Execution

Florida's Messiest Execution On July 8, 1999, the execution of Allen Lee Davis set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. During his time in the electric chair, Davis bled profusely from the nose and suffered burns to his head, leg, and groin area. As the switch was thrown, the “Tiny” Davis, who was executed for the May 11, 1982, murder of Nancy Weiler and her two daughters, reared back against the restraints, giving witnesses a chilling glimpse under a black hood designed to hide the faces of the condemned. Blood poured from his vivid purple nose, ran down the wide leather strap that covered his mouth and soaked the white shirt. After the power was turned off, Davis was still alive. Witnesses said his chest rose and fell about 10 times before he went still. After the execution, state prison officials and Governor Jeb Bush said the Old Sparky functioned properly. Three photos of the incident have been published on Florida’s High Court official website in an attempt to argu...
