By Olayinka Latona “I totally condemn the inhumane attitudes displayed by some of the Chinese to our fellow Nigerians. This is a global pandemic and not an issue that should generate such racial furore. “At this crucial time, we should all stand in accord against this killer that threatens the existence of our beloved humanity.” […]

By Bose Adelaja “The Federal Government should share the COVID19 relief (palliatives) through the Federal Legislators, State legislators and local government legislators. “These people know the wards and the units and virtually know almost everybody from the wards to the unit. This is the best way we make the relief materials get to the actual […]

By Bose Adelaja “I would suggest it should be distributed from house to house just like head counting during census is being done. While doing this, strict monitoring should be exercised by FG on the officials assigned for it in order for them not to pocket it. “Although, it might look tedious but it’s a […]

By Bose Adelaja “First, we need to salute the Federal Government for coming up with such initiative as against the configured pattern of palliatives distribution that goes hand in hand with electioneering. “It would have been easy if we have a good database to help us out but in spite of that, distributing it through […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Rose Chukwu “I think the problem is that we are used to depending on people. Those in government are opportunists who use situations like this to enrich their pockets. “Mismanagement of funds has always being our problem not lack of funds and until the federal government work on that, I […]

By Olayinka Latona “This is the chance for the Federal Government to finally prove that we practice true federalism. You can’t declare a lockdown in Lagos, Abuja and Ogun and be distributing palliatives in regions without Covid-19 index cases. “It’s critical to prove this is an inclusive Government. There is a reason for BVN, use […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Rose Chukwu “The FG has received billions of voluntary donations from organisation, stakeholders, and individuals within and outside of the country. “Where have these funds been diverted to? Have they all been utilised? FG already has substantial debts. They should not accumulate debts now and later begin to run […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Rose Chukwu “In my own opinion, the decision taken by the government is really for the benefits of all. The government is being considerate in allowing markets open between those hours but I will advise that Lagos residents abide by the social distance rule, personal hygiene and stay safe.” […]

“I believe the shutdown of markets, self isolation and social distancing will help lessen the spread of the virus. Reviewing the restriction will cause more harm than good. “Instead of a review, government should provide relief materials in order to help and ensure the safety of citizens.” -Elizabeth Kaneng Pam, Student “The FG review on coronavirus […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Rose Chukwu “I don’t think the review is good. Relaxing the restriction will make us more  prune to spreading the virus. The only way we can defeat the virus is by total social distancing. “I understand that people need to make money, but we need a total lock down. […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Rose Chukwu “How do we go about this? A situation where the market will open without the movement of vehicles is not something that is easy. How will the trader move his goods to the market and how will prospective buyers transport themselves to the market is something that […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Rose Chukwu “We have seen what reasonable countries did in this crisis, like giving the citizens some money to sustain them while they stay home. “What’s our government doing? Nothing! They expect us to stay at home and die of Povid-20, hunger? Feed the poor masses if you want […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Rose Chukwu “Judging by the happenings around us, one can say that the Lagos State Government is trying its best though the FG is yet to provide adequate support apart from cash donations. From the look of things, other states are not fully prepared to fight the virus. “We need more […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Rose Chukwu “Yes, it should be shut down as long as the Coronavirus pandemic lasts. After all, we have been managing ourselves before the outbreak of the virus. “Government should work out modalities for the shut down. People should work from home and those who are not working should […]

By Bose Adelaja, Olayinka Latona & Samuel Ameh “The Federal Government should adopt total lockdown, but in doing this, they should provide the necessary healthcare kits and some funds should be given to the masses to take care of themselves for the mean time while they eradicate this deadly virus.” -Ibemesi Cynthia, Corps Members “The […]
