The Lagos State Government has debunked the rumour that it is clamping down on Uber operators who seem to have resorted to blackmail by attempting to discredit Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) officials to gain public sympathy @jidesanwoolu @dr_oladeinde #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
The Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) is performing its statutory duty of facilitating compliance with the Road Traffic Laws by ensuring motorists possess the stipulated vehicle documents..

The attention of the Lagos State Government has been drawn to the outcry that trailed the eviction of residents of a beachside community at Tarkwa Bay by the Nigerian Navy @jidesanwoolu #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
The Nigerian Navy says the dislodgement followed the discovery by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) that pipeline vandals had taken over Tarkwa Bay to sabotage the Nation’s economy by stealing petroleum products for selfish and personal gains #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
According to Navy Commander Thomas Otuji, the Navy found in Tarkwa Bay about 300 spots and pits where petroleum products were being tapped and sold to unlicensed individuals as well as neighboring countries @jidesanwoolu

Here’s a brief thread on the #DiamondPrincess. I think it the data from this cruise ship is the most important out there. It has reliable data and the largest sample size. Here’s what I think we know and do not know and what conclusions we can and can’t draw.
To the extent possible the facts are from Princess’ website (princess.com) and where needed data was not available there I got it from what I believe are more credible news sites.
Day 1 (January 20, 2020): 3,711 people (2,666 passengers and 1,045 crew) left Tokyo (Yokohama) on the Diamond Princess.

Thread: Coronavirus Pummels #Wuhan, a City Short of Supplies and Overwhelmed

It is nearly impossible to get the care they need to treat, or even diagnose, the coronavirus, say residents at the crisis’ center
nytimes.com/2020/02/02/wor…
Weak with fever, An Jianhua waited in line for 7 hours outside the hospital in the cold, hoping to get tested for the new coronavirus, which doctors suspected she had contracted.
Ms. An, 67, needed an official diagnosis from a hospital to qualify for treatment, but the one she went to last week had no space, even to test her. The next hospital was full, too. They finally got an intravenous drip for Ms. An’s fever, but that was all.
