Distribute palliatives at polling units, set up mini-market at this same polling units with the price mechanisms enforced.”

@jonnydrille, “They eased the lockdown and now the numbers are increasing. Almost 400 new cases today and 183 in Lagos alone. We need to lockdown again, we have to”

  1. If they declared another Lockdown again and the number still go up what will be the next steps my people, remember the poor have we consider them?

  2. Nothing like coro in Nigeria we are just fooling ourselves just because they want to exhaust money from united nation they are inflating figures, let them show us there isolation center.or to show us where they buried those death

  3. I strongly believe that anymore asking for lockdown again is Rich and selfish. The figures never decreased when there was lockdown either. It amazes me that non of our leaders remember God in this situation. They only do when they are seeking election into office, looking everywhere for Religious leaders to pray for them. You can’t lock people down when you can’t take care of them. We are not in America or Europe where the govt. can take care if they are locked down for a whole year. For Nigeria to be copying the American or European lockdown is like an ordinary house cat comparing himself to a lion and walking in the territories where lions operate. That cat will die a miserable death.
