NIGERIA LOCKDOWN AND THE NEW CURE FOR CONVID-19.
Everybody want to live, nobody wants to die. Many at times, you see people being reckless with there lives, not because they are resistance to death or maybe they wish to die, but because they are ignorant of how close they're to death.
Nobody in his or her right sense will go an inch close to what ever thing that will take away there lives. Even those that dies under the cover of suicide don't just do that because they want to do so, it's a psychological disorder that makes them to think that the only way to excape the pain or certain things is death.
NIGERIA AND THE CONVID-19.
From the first signs of that Coronavirus or CONVID-19 and was turning into an epidemic and was officially declared a world wide emergency, the federal government of Nigeria started planning preventive, containment and curative measures, in the event this disease hits Nigeria, the whole instruments of government were mobilized to fight this life threatening disease. On 27th February 2020, Nigeria confirmed its first case of CONVID-19 and since then, the number have been rising slowly.
On 23rd of March 2020 Nigeria recorded the first fatality, a former employee of PPMC. This triggered the fear in all Nigerian citizens. Both the poor and the rich are in this together, no escape route, everyone needs to undergo thesame precaution inorder to be safe. Hand sanitizer, nose mask, and liquid soap became the most selling products nation wide, nobody wants to die, everyone wants to be safe.
As of the time of this write up, the statistics of CONVID-19 in Nigeria based on NCDC records are as follows:
Confirmed cases= 305
Recoveerd = 58
Death = 7.
These are just the number of the recorded cases, there are still many out there who doesn't know that they have got CONVID-19.
NIGERIA AND THE LOCKDOWN.
On Monday, 30th of March 2020, Nigeria implemented a sweeping quarantine for three major states that home to almost 30 million people in a bid to slow the spread of the new Coronavirus. The lockdown in Lagos, Abuja, and Ogun state kick in at 11pm and will stay in place for atleast two weeks.
Other states followed on later in order to curtail the spread of CONVID-19 in Nigeria, and as of the time of this writing, the entire states in the country is still in total lockdown.
This is were the main problem lies, NCDC is busy recording the total number of CONVID-19 victims in Nigeria but nobody is recording the number of people dying out of hungry, untreated illness, right now, many Nigerians don't know when they will eat the next meal.
The only group of people who seems to enjoy this lockdown are the youths, because majority of them get busy with what goes on in social media, enjoying the different challenges being introduced by some gurus, others enjoy the celebrity lockdown shows and the CONVID-19 jokes, so with your phone and data, you are good to overcome the boredome of this lockdown for some youths and teenager.
The case is different for 90% of Nigerian parents because they really feel the pain of this lockdown most. The food bought and stored in the house during the preparation of this lockdown have either finished or gone down. No market to buy food products from, even the ones that sells food in private increases the price, the local available food available to the poorest man before in Nigeria is no longer affordable any longer. The government workers are not paid, the savings kept aside for the payment of school fees have been tampered with, yet no hope of replacing the money, there is still threat of extending the total lockdown by some state government. There is tension and fear in the mind of 90% of Nigerian parents, though they always appear infront of there children pretending and playing with them as if everything is going on well.
Convid-19 have only killed 7 in Nigeria but up to hundreds have died out of increase in high blood pressure, starvation, many are already surffering from certain health complications caused by this lockdown.
The Nigerian government are trying there best to help the situation to eliviate the suffering of her citizens, but some individuals, wicked politicians who suppose to be animal but was mistakenly made human don't care about the people they represent, the money donated by some good philanthropists in our country are being taken and shared by the few wicked animals that calls themselves leader who ruthlessly struggled and bought their way into power to kill and destroy human race.
Nothing will be done to these thieves who looted those money donated to help the poor, but the so called SARS and EFCC will go to any length to disturb and harras innocent young youths who ride on ordinary Benz.
People are dying, people are still going to die yet some individuals are drinking red wine singing songs of victory over the money meant for a nation. Were are the SARS, EFCC, Police, these security agencies can only bring out there best when it comes to maltreating and harrasing the young youths of the citizens but nothing is to be done to those old thieves that calls themselves Representatives that takes the money meant for the fight against CONVID-19.
I pray that the Nigerian internal security agencies will get mature and bold enough to get rid of all these old thieves in politics, but the problem is, how can one arrest his godfather? That's the problem because even those of them incharge of these security agencies are being appointed the head through the efforts of some of these old thieves in power. God save us.
THE NEW CURE OF CONVID-19.
Convid-19 have succeeded in introducing one thing in the whole wide world, and that is FEAR.
Fear is good and can only be so when used constructively.
When one is afraid, the blood pressure increases, and one tends to breath harder and that's why one is always advised to take a long deep breath when afraid in order to calm the nerves.
This increase in blood pressure caused by fear can lead to death if not well handled, and other medical complications can occure as well.
Many people now are afraid to come out because they're not yet ready to die, to remain indoor is not safe too because hunger doesn't mind if convid-19 is standing right there infront of your door, so no where is safe, there is tension everywhere. What can man do to get rid of this pandemic convid-19 so that man can go back to there normal daily life style?.
The cure to this is to defeat the FEAR in our mind, once you have this mindset that you are going to be among the people that will tell the story of one time pandemic that kept the whole world in panic in the year 2020 the better chance you have to live even when you finally get infected, many victims of convic-19 dies out of fear.
Fear is something that is natural to happen in all human being, you can't pretend to be ok when something so terifying happens around you. Even Jesus was once afraid to die on the cross but letter on got the courage fo face the reality and died the shameful and painful death of the cross.
I'm not a prophet, and I'm not even prophesying but I'm telling you that convid-19 have been defeated by Christ Jesus on the good Friday, it died with Jesus and we all shall celebrate this victory on Sunday which is the Easter day.
As I told you earlier, fear is good in the sense that it will lead you to do the right thing and the right thing here to do is to remain safe, have positive mindset that you aren't going to die, keep good hygiene, call your friends and relatives frequently to know there were about, spread the good news of hope and not the false news of world coming to an end and putting fear into men, be more of human.
Do you know that someone can really die because of the information one see online, what if this death is caused by a life threatening information you posted online? Which means that you have succeeded in being a killer.
The youths should be more close to there parents, don't always spend your whole time on social media. No matter how rich your parents appears to be, this is just one of the difficult time for them, the little time you spend with them instead of your phone can go a very long way to reduce there high blood pressure.
May we all celebrate this victory over convid-19 on Easter day in good health and happiness, Amen.
