Are @jidesanwoolu directives being enforced by @followlasg? How effective is public adherence to #COVID19 regulations and is @NCDCgov effectively building itself as a credible govt agency ?
Are govt MDA at the Fed, State & LG levels observing these protocols.

Stopped at Domino's pizza #ikorodu to get pizza for my in-laws. Made use of the app so I only had to pick up. Got in to pick up and there was a crowd at there and at #Coldstone.
If the govt believes that #COVID19 is serious then why is it slack with enforcing it's protocol.

On my way to Ikorodu almost all the BRT's had 3 - 10% of commuters using their nose mask. In smaller buses almost no one wore nose mask. No @PoliceNG or @followlastma officer wore a nose mask.
I think private establishments enforce some of these regulation better than the govt

COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus, known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, dry cough, and difficulty in breathing. Some patients may have body aches and pains, loss of smell, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, or diarrhea.
Goodday everyone.

Having been allowed to carry out one very successful evacuation of Nigerians from London at very low fares, @flyairpeace in coordination with the @NigeriaGov and full knowledge of the UK authorities scheduled two additional flights.
All the arrangements were made including payments, only for the UK authorities to withdraw landing rights close to departure despite strong representations by the Nigerian Government including pointing out the hardship that would be caused to hundreds of Nigerian evacuees.
Air Peace could have just refunded the passengers but exceptionally, patriotically and altruistically agreed to find an alternative carrier acceptable to the UK authorities to carry out the evacuation a day later than scheduled but for much higher fares.

I can still recall the tremor that engulfed me 2 weeks ago when I got the call. Or how I sat on a spot for hours trying to make sense of it all.
Thankfully, I had gone through the symptomatic phase which was very short

It saddens me that a lot of people still don't believe it🤦♀️.
2. A good number of people who get infected remain asymptomatic hence won't even go for the test. That means, consider everyone a suspect and observe the recommended safety protocols. Let me dwell on this a bit;

It might sound tiring but it needs to to repeated that Nigeria is yet to #FlattenTheCurve. Our 7-day average approach shows Nigeria has moved from 206 cases in May 4 to 526 cases as at June 14.

Lagos went through a slump in weekly averages but the numbers are looking up again. This is the same situation for FCT. It nearly #FlattenTheCurve but numbers are rising.
It's important to pay attention to Rivers State. It's one of the states with increasing number of cases. #FlattenTheCurve

You don’t want to know the kind of losses event planners & event engineers are making now. Everyone within the value chain of any event that has to do with gathering may not have a job in years to come. This is an industry that’s been thriving daily for years. Think about it. ⛱
Think about sound engineers and those that rent out musical instruments for shows. All their investments and interest on loans for equipment they have procured and we’re paying for in installments. It is those directly affected that will understand for the now. 😞 #Covid19Nigeria
The last time some people got patronage was January and this is May almost running time an end. Our Bills don’t care about the pandemic. They will show up and tug at us regardless. Many businesses have died, some are dying and others are bracing themselves for impact.

SERAP has sent an urgent appeal to President @MBuhari urging him to urgently instruct the AGF & Minister of Justice Mr Abukabar Malami, SAN to work with appropriate ministries & agencies to identify, publish & use confiscated stolen assets as isolation centres.

Using confiscated assets as isolation centres would provide safe and enabling environments for the treatment and care of people, improve the authorities’ ability to respond to COVID-19, reduce the risks to Nigerians and to public health.
The Minister of Health, @DrEOEhanire had last week reportedly begged Nigerians to donate & temporarily make their buildings available as isolation centres. According to him, more buildings would be needed, as @NCDCgov aims to test two million people in the next three months
Patriotic Nigerians,
I will start by applauding you all for the patriotism that you have shown in our collective drive for a better Nigeria. I know sooner or later we will have the Nigeria of our DREAM with less BIGOTRY, NEPOTISM, CORRUPTION and CRISIS. It is MAY DAY!

The situation might be different this year as a result of the pandemic that we face in the world but it will not barricade my appreciation to all WORKERS regardless of your discipline and level. For your patriotic services and undying commitments in building our dear Nation.
No doubt we are not there yet, we are not where we want to be as a Nation but the efforts of our founding fathers and the contributions of everyone keeps moving us close to a GREATER Nigeria. The situation is visibly harsh and frustrating but we must always give our BEST.

Heavy menstrual flow is called MENORRHAGIA
Normal flow is 20 to 80mls, lasting for 3 to 7days
Flow more than 80 ml or period in excess of 7 days is considered abnormal & heavy.

Each regular pad or tampon soaks about 5ml of blood(1tspn)
So if your period is 80mls, then you will be using an average of 16 pads or so during your period.
If you are using more than 16, each pad fully soaked, your flow is heavy

About midday today, the @PoliceNG in Akwa Ibom prevented the NMA State Officers Committee led by the State Chairman, Dr. Nsikak Nyoyoko, from proceeding to the UUTH to distribute PPEs to its members based on "orders from above". This is unacceptable. @PoliceNG_CRU #COVID19Nigeria
Health workers in Akwa Ibom are facing hostility from the government and the Police over the response to COVID-19 pandemic. The NMA earlier demanded the sack of the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Ukpong; who publicly disclaimed the first six positive cases announced by @NCDCgov.
A senior doctor in Akwa Ibom, Dr. Dominic, died last week at the Ibom Specialist Hospital due to what is widely believed to be COVID-19 complications. The @NCDCgov and the state government are yet to announce the result of the autopsy (or postmortem) carried out on the deceased.

Last week, I was very engaged with enhancing our efforts in the fight against #COVID19 in #Nigeria. @FMoHNigeria started with the daily situation room on Mon. 6th, and inaugurated the accreditation team to accredit additional #COVID19 isolation and treatment facilities
Tue. 7th was #WorldHealthDay and @NigeriaGov is fighting to secure national health and security. I visited @FollowLaSG, with #PTFCOVID19, to inspect response preparedness. @JideSanwoOlu is an exemplary incident commander and @LSMoH has met the #COVID19 response commendably
On Wed. 8th, on behalf of @NigeriaGov, I received generous donations from @OfficialMESL: medical equipment, PPE, generator and accommodation for #healthworkers in UATH and Minna Isolation Centre @NigerStateNG...
Lots of Nigerians, even the supposed educated ones still believe #COVID19Nigeria is a hoax. Some even say the Governors claiming to have tested + are doing so to attract the fund. The ignorant ones say the virus is a big man disease.
Some state Governors think it is safe to briefly relax the stay at home order in order to celebrate Easter and for Jumat prayers
The government on its part has failed in the area of providing succour to the most vulnerable in the society because of lack of adequate and genuine data
@nassnigeria @NGRSenate @NGRPresident @MBuhari @NCDCgov @Fmohnigeria @DrEOEhanire @ProfOsinbajo I know u will convincingly convince us that you are not aware of the 5000 naira hazard allowance health workers are receiving. Let me now bring it to your notice that these people
Risk their lives by exposing themselves to hazards you can not imagine on daily basis, some contract dangerous diseases and some even die as a result of the hazard they are exposed to. It is pertinent at this point to review the hazard allowance for health workers in Nigeria
Let FGN especially @nassnigeria as a matter of urgency proposed and make a law that will review the hazard allowance for health workers in Nigeria. The global battle against this pandemic rest on the shoulders of health workers, motivate them & give them all needed to work well.
No mention of #NurseJustina the Nurse that paid ultimate sacrifice to save Nigerians from death of Ebola virus.Yet Nurses are still at the forefront fighting #COVID19Nigeria.Nurses deserve better treatment and placement.
