Buhari Extends Lockdown By Two Weeks(14 days)

Buhari Extends Lock down By Two Weeks(14 days)

 President Muhammadu Buhari has extended the lock down in Lagos,Abuja, Ogun and some other states in the country by two weeks due to the corona virus. The President made this announcement in a national broadcast aired on NTA news. He urged Nigerians to be very calm and endure the measures put in place to try to subdue and overcome the corona virus.
           But the question is, "for how long can an average Nigerian keep up with this measures".
           Nigeria has been faced with a disaster that if not properly handled can wreck havoc in the country.


First of all in the area of food supply, like i stated in my previous article lots of Nigerians are daily hustlers i.e they depend on their daily income for food, now the question is "has the government been able to make a provision for this" the answer is NO, sure i  recognize the government's effort in trying to supply food to the poor but the thing is they haven't performed up to expectations. Apart from the corona virus there's nothing as deadly as hunger which might end up killing a lot of Nigerians if not taken into full consideration. 

Also the extended lock down has given room for robbers to perform at their optimum.
There has been news of robberies in Lagos and Ogun states respectively. Residents living in areas between Lagos and Ogun state are not having peace of mind as armed robbers have reportedly taken over the streets on a robbing spree, both in broad day light and also in the night. Let's trace this back, unfortunately many people asked to sit at home live from hand to mouth, especially the area boys/men who hustle at motor parks and market places for their daily bread. Now bear in  mind that the upsurge in armed robberies can't totally be unconnected to this area boys/men who have gone hungry due to this lock down.
Most residents have taken up the duty of acting as vigilantes for their neighborhood that includes setting fires and acquiring weapons for protection. The police have reportedly been low scale on this case causing residents to take their lives in their palms.

With all these i don't think an average Nigerian can keep up if measures are not put in place to stop it.

Currently there are 343 cases of corona virus in Nigeria, with 91 recoveries and sadly 10 deaths.

     What Really Is 5G? The world's connectivity needs are changing. Global mobile data traffic is expected to multiply by 5 before the end of 2024. Particularly in dense urban areas, the current 4G networks simply won't be able to keep up. That's where a new G comes into play. With 5G commercial networks being on track already, the first use cases are enhanced mobile broadband, which will bring better experiences for smartphone users, and fixed wireless access, providing fiber speeds without fiber optics cables to homes.  Imagine being a able to download a full length HD movie in "seconds"- that's just the beginning. The true value of 5G is the opportunity it presents to people, business and the world at large; industries, regions, towns and cities that are more connected becomes smarter and more sustainable. Now the question is, Why is 5G such a game changer? The short answer to why 5G is such a game changer: it will improve your network connect

Corona Virus In Nigeria Corona virus as we all know has rampaged the earth since its introduction mid November 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China. Nigeria has experienced a slight progression of corona virus cases since the introduction of its first case on the 27th of February 2020 which as we all know was an Italian man who arrived in Nigeria on the 24th of February 2020. Now the case of the Italian is all old news as number of cases have increased in Nigeria, lots of happenings have happened , lots of measures have been taken to curb the spread of this dangerous virus which i often call "the king of all viruses".  Surprisingly, i am surprised at the controversy circulating the lock down enforced on some states in Nigeria most importantly Lagos state. The lock down in Nigeria has left lots of daily hustlers go hungry and also to worsen matters the country has not made enough supplements available to correct the darkening effects of hunger and povert

20 /10 /2020: The beginning of the end of a peaceful Nigeria

Image
Today 20th of october 2020 marks a sad day in the history of Nigeria, the red color on the flag instead of white is an illustration of how a once peaceful Nigeria has erupted into crisis and an impending danger. Nationwide protests began on October 8, 2020, calling on the authorities to abolish an abusive police unit called the Special Anti-Robbery Squad(SARS). In response, the police have shot tear gas, water cannons and live rounds at protesters, killing people and leaving lots of others wounded.  Armed thugs have also disrupted protests and attacked protesters. The protests were sparked by a video that surfaced online on October 3, 2020 allegedly showing a SARS official shooting a young man in Delta state. This generated an outcry on social media, Twitter especially, where the hashtag #ENDSARS began trending globally , and led to protests across Nigeria and other cities around the world. Responding to the protesters, the Government announced the dismissal of SARS on October 11, 2020
