If I had the opportunity, I would have asked the Nigerian President what happened during the lockdown to warrant easing it from next Monday.
I would have even asked him if he had succeeded in getting an okay from COVID 19 that it must only strike at night. That would have informed his pronouncing a curfew from eight pm to six am.
In all, in as much as I recognize the usefulness of good health among people, I certainly think the government got it all wrong from the beginning.
There’s no proof that infections are on the downward trend. So, why did the presidency relax the lockdown.
So many governors also go about giving orders to people as to when they should stay indoors and when they should be outside like pupils in the boarding house.
I suspect the government doesn’t have an inkling of what it’s doing. I would have preferred a situation where government racks its brain before applying measures on its people.
This idea of copy and paste everything European is certainly killing us. What are the research institutes and medical schools doing? I still very much believe in African herbs. Why don’t we commission a team of herbalists to see if we could get a solution to this raging scourge?
Then we should try as much as possible to reduce the slumming of people because they don’t have a choice. We should also do a lot of cleaning up of public places like markets and motor parks
Do we have potable water?
If all these and more are put in place, I believe we’ll be at a good starting point.
Well, if we refuse to act fast, the alagbo that sell herbal drugs mixed with alcohol in our motor parks are waiting to seize the situation. Of course, those who know will testify they too are pandemics waiting to strike!
I sincerely believe the government owes the people of Nigeria an apology!
