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.

An elite French counterterrorism unit gained worldwide fame for a daring raid on a hijacked plane 28 years ago

An elite French counterterrorism unit gained worldwide fame for a daring raid on a hijacked plane 28 years ago GIGN operators breach Air France Flight 8969 in an attempt to liberate passengers and crew held captive onboard by Algerian terrorists, 1994 The more than 230 passengers and crew aboard Air France Flight 8969 on December 24, 1994, were looking forward to a quick and uneventful flight from Algiers to Paris. Before they took off, four men dressed as Algerian policemen boarded the plane for what appeared to be a routine check. Three days later, on the tarmac in Marseille, the passengers were freed by a daring raid that was broadcast on live TV, displaying to the world the unique skills of France's elite GIGN. In 1989, Algeria wasn't the safest place for foreigners, especially the French. France had colonized Algeria in the early 19th century and hundreds of thousands of French settled there over the following decades. In 1962, Algerians won independence from France after ...

Spy, Murder Victim, Or Something Else? Inside The Decades-Long Mystery Of The Isdal Woman

Spy, Murder Victim, Or Something Else? Inside The Decades-Long Mystery Of The Isdal Woman Who was the Isdal Woman? The story Behind the mysterious corpse found burned to death in Norway's Ice Valley in 1970 On November 29, 1970, two young girls and their father were hiking through the remote Isdalen Valley outside of Bergen, Norway, when they suddenly came upon a horrific sight. There on the rocky foothills in front of them was a woman's body lying on its back — and burned beyond recognition. The family rushed to report the corpse to the police, who quickly sent a team to investigate.⁠ ⁠ Baffled and horrified, detectives had no idea whether this mystery woman had fallen into a fire, died by suicide, been murdered, or something else. Investigators then uncovered a strange trail of coded messages, disguises, and fake identities as well as possible connections to espionage and secret military weapons. However, even with DNA in hand, the authorities have remained unable to identify...

She poisoned 21 people including her own mother, children and husbands. So why has no-one heard of Britain's FIRST serial killer, Mary Ann Cotton?

She poisoned 21 people including her own mother, children and husbands. So why has no-one heard of Britain's FIRST serial killer, Mary Ann Cotton? The motivating factor behind Mary Ann Cotton seemed to be money, but it was surely not the final motive of her evil deeds. Mary Ann Cotton was responsible for the deaths of three of her four husbands, and she is thought to have murdered 21 victims in all, which includes eleven of her 13 children as well as her own mother. The main instrument she used for her murders was arsenic poisoning, which caused great gastric pain and the speedy decline of life force in her victims. After a 20-year long spree of mysterious murders surrounding Cotton’s life, she was eventually arrested and put on trial in 1873. Mary Ann Cotton was convicted of the murder of three of her husbands and was sentenced to death by hanging. The execution was not a smooth one; Cotton’s trap door proved to be too short, and she writhed wildly at the end of her rope until she...

Lewis Powell And His Role In The Lincoln Assassination Conspiracy

Lewis Powell And His Role In The Lincoln Assassination Conspiracy Lewis Powell has gone down in history as one of the extremists who conspired to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln and topple the U.S. government in 1865 — but for most of his life, he was known as a quiet, gentle boy. Raised in Georgia by a Baptist minister, Powell earned the nickname "Doc" as a child because he loved to care for sick and injured animals on his family's farm. At 17, he lied about his age to join the Confederate Army, where he gained a reputation as a "gallant" soldier. However, when he was injured and captured by Union troops at the Battle of Gettysburg, something changed inside Lewis Powell.⁠ ⁠ After escaping from the hospital where he was assigned to work as a nurse while being held prisoner, Powell joined up with Mosby's Rangers, a notorious Confederate battalion that terrorized the Union Army with brutal force. Soon after, he met John Wilkes Booth — and became a key pa...

Gaetana’s revenge: 23 children victims of superstition in Italy at the end of the 19th century

Gaetana’s revenge: 23 children victims of superstition in Italy at the end of the 19th century Gaetana Stimoli, of Aderno, Sicily, was the architect of the killing of 23 children. Her style was to lure the unsuspecting children to her home with the promise of treats, once she had convinced her victims, the innocent children would go to her home and she would give them some wine with traces of undiluted phosphoric acids, which is incredibly poisonous to the human body. The unsuspecting victims would then be sent back home, but just before they would get to their respective homes, they would suffer excruciating bodily pain which led to the inevitability of death. Stimoli was believed to have lost two children of her own and she believed that their deaths was as a result of some sort of bewitchment. Therefore in order to achieve some form of karmic balance in her mind, Stimoli sought to take the lives of other children to avenge hers. This occurred in the late 19th century, when witchcraf...

Killer who was 13 when he beat boy, 4, to death with a rock quietly released from

When a 4-year-old boy named Derrick Robie was found brutally murdered in Savona, New York in August 1993, residents were stunned. They assumed that a stranger driving through Savona must have killed young Derrick, as he was beloved in the town. Some locals had even called him the "unofficial mayor" because he loved to sit on his bike and wave at passersby. A manhunt quickly ensued, and authorities were shocked when they uncovered the true perpetrator: a 13-year-old boy named Eric Smith.⁠ ⁠ Marlene Heskell, a friend of Eric's family, had grown suspicious that the young teen had witnessed the murder when he started asking her about DNA testing and what would happen if Derrick's killer had been another child. Heskell went to Eric's mother with her concerns, and the two women took him to the police station to speak with investigators. They assumed that Eric had been threatened to keep quiet by whoever had murdered Derrick — but they never imagined that the teen would ...

When Teddy Roosevelt Was Shot in 1912, a Speech May Have Saved His Life

When Teddy Roosevelt Was Shot in 1912, a Speech May Have Saved His Life While on the campaign trail in October 1912, Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest from 5 feet away, instead of going to the hospital, he insisted on speaking to the crowd- which he did for nearly an hour and a half Teddy Roosevelt cheated death numerous times throughout his life, but he perhaps came closest to meeting the grim reaper on October 14, 1912, when he survived an assassination attempt in Milwaukee. Roosevelt was campaigning for a third term as president of the United States under the Bull Moose Party, and he was climbing into his car to head to a campaign speech when John F. Schrank shot him in the chest from no more than five feet away. Roosevelt reached into his shirt and felt a dime-sized bullet hole in his chest, but he wasn't coughing up blood or having trouble breathing — so he ordered his driver to take him to his speech anyway.⁠ ⁠ It had actually been the 50-page speech that Roosevelt...
