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.

A Very Victorian Two-Penny Hangover

During the Great Depreciation in London, people who couldn’t afford to sleep in a bad could pay twopence for a spot on a bench with a clothesline tied in front of them, so they could sleep while hanging over a rope . The term ‘hangover’ is universally understood to mean the disproportionate suffering that comes after a night of over-indulgence. But where does the term actually come from? One possible explanation is, somewhat strangely, Victorian England. During the Victorian era the practice of paying for a ‘two-penny hangover’ was incredibly popular among the country’s homeless population and the term ‘two penny hangover’ was so commonly used that it made its way into contemporary literature. A two-penny hangover is not the description of a very cheap night out, nor is it the amount it would cost you to get drunk in Victorian England. It is actually somewhere you could go to sleep if you were one of the thousands of homeless and destitute living in the country’s main cities at the tim...

The U.S. forces were unprepared, waking to the sounds of explosions and scrambling to defend themselves. The entire preemptive attack lasted only 90 minutes, and in that time, the Japanese sunk four battleships and two des...

Trenchy Rats: Worst Enemy in World War 1

Trenchy Rats: Worst Enemy in World War 1 Many soldiers from World War I shared that their worst enemy in war were not the soldiers they fought against, but rather the weather, the mud, the cold and, perhaps more than anything, the rats. Rats in their millions infested the trenches where soldiers slept and lived. These rodents, sometimes huge, tried to eat the soldiers' foods, crawled over them and bit as they slept, carried diseases and nibbled on the dead comrades' corpses, sometimes disfiguring them completely by eating their faces and eyes. For these reasons, soldiers developed a passionate hatred for rats, which they tried to hunt for various methods, such as ambushing them with shotgun fire or stabbing them with their bayonets, in which a piece of cheese or bread would be attached to attract rats. Trench rats were rodents that were found around the frontline trenches of World War I. Due to massive amounts of debris, corpses, and a putrid environment, rats at the trenches b...

With a wife and two sons, South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh appeared to have it all. That is, until June when his spouse and son were killed in an unsolved murder case. The pain of losing them caused him to fall into a deep depression exacerbated by his long-standing opioid addiction. By the end of August, Alex Murdaugh had arranged to have himself murdered so that his surviving son could collect the $10 million life insurance, which Murdaugh falsely believed wouldn’t be paid out if he died by suicide. It was the culmination of years of scandals and accidents that plagued this prominent South Carolina legal dynasty, whose roots in the area go back 111 years.

Reasons Why A Male President Is Better Than A Female President

Reasons Why A Male President Is Better Than A Female President A president is a leader and women are not good in leadership. They Don't support to lead. God does not make them to lead. If you examine the bible you will observed that God does not choose women as a leader. From the days of moses to the day of Jesus christ God Didn't choose woman to act. This means that God the creator doesn't support the idea of woman to be a leader. He create them to be a helper they do not have the potential of a leader. Making them as a leader or ptesident i think is a bias and is Even against God will Although God made some woman a prophetess. I find this From the amazing story of Deborah in Judges 4 to the stories of Ruth, Esther, Tamar, Rahab, Huldah. What you should know is that a prophetess is not a leader. The fact that God use them does not mean they are leaders. They are just made to say what God intend to do. Do not mistake them to be leaders This is not a discrimination...
