Seems the fastest way to get popular on twitter is to continuously bash Nigeria and project negative vibes. As usual Nigerians have jumped on Senegal's ventilator new.

A young boy in Kaduna with limited resources developed a ventilator in 2 days, we saw it here in twitter.
No retweets, no massive support, no press coverage to project his achievement across Africa. Twitter Nigeria shunned him..go and check the TL of Nigerians hailing Senegal, you won't find the man's story on any!

Federal Polytechnic Ilaro built a ventilator in 2 days
The videos are all over youtube, the news is online. No they won't tweet about it. It won't make them popular.

Zipline a drone company based in San Francisco is handling medical logistics in Ghana. We have Arone delivery in Nigeria
Emmanuel Ezenwere, one of the brightest Autonomous flight engineers on the continent...we will not support them.

When you bash Nigeria constantly and you spread negative vibes, you make it harder for people like Emmanuel to attract goodwill globally.

You are also in the pot!

Let me try and shed more light on the issue of #COVID19 testing. Each country has its own protocol - case prevention, surveillance and case definition. There is no competition or reward for the country that has tested the most.
Nigeria's method relies on contact tracing, surveillance, possible cases and testing in addition to other preventive strategies.

Country A in Africa has tested 80,000 with 1000 positive cases. With the peculiar attack rate of the disease, it's likely that some cases were missed
Missed because of the testing protocol or methods used. For countries that rely on fast / rapid testing kits, WHO has consistently warned that a lot of the results may be wrong. If they are testing using the Antigen method, a negative result means 'nothing'...

The Federal Ministry of Health / NCDC has one of the best policies and protocols to combat Covid -19 in the world. Feel free to include those you consider as saner climes. The protocols are extensive, simple and easy to implement. But what are the states doing?
Healthcare is not exclusively under the FG. The states have larger responsibilities. The NCDC will provide the needed support and guidance. They work on what is on ground in each state. A lot of states in Nigeria have moribund health systems.
The states are meant to have
1. Commissioners of health
2. Permanent secretaries of health / research and planning
3. Chief Epidemiologists
4. Surveillance teams at LG level
5. Funds to implement simple protocols

I go through a lot to break certain issues down on Twitter, just to let some people understand that Governance and decision making isn't beer parlour gist.

The last time I checked, Nigeria had 32 accredited medical colleges. The list is available online with their quota.
Quota given to ensure that the schools aren't just conduits for half baked doctors. There is a minimum lecturer to student ratio in pre-clinicals and clinical study to create an effective learning environment.

Where am I heading to? Even if all our schools churn out 100 doctors
And everyone passes at the end of the day, The maximum number of doctors we can have annually is 3200.

If we manage to retain all of them in practice, we will add only 3200, it will take us 10 years to produce 30,000 doctors with this system.
