Covid 19: Lagos Records 70 Cases In One Day

By Uche Mbah
Fears that the dreaded COVID-19 will explode in Lagos is increasing with the number of cases rising by 70 for the first time in a day out of a total of 86 cases nationwide.
Besides the 70 in Lagos, 7 new cases were discovered in FCT, 3 in Katsina, 3 in Akwa Ibom, 1 in Jigawa, 1 in Bauchi and 1 in Borno state. This brings the total number of cases to 86 in one day.
There have been palpable fears that Nigeria in the coming weeks may descend into a frenzied cauldron of fear due to the Coronavirus epidermic explosion. This was due to a reported dire prediction by Mrs. Melinda Gates, wife of the Microsoft guru, William Gates. Gates had resigned from Microsoft and is pursuing a controversial vaccine agenda worldwide. He had advocated for the vaccination and “enchipment” of everyone on earth, particularly in Africa against COVID 19. No vaccine has been officially found anywhere.
The lockdown efforts by the Nigerian government is allegedly being violated by the government themselves. Social distancing was thrown to the winds when the late Chief of Staff to the president, Mallam Abba Kyari, was buried. Though those who came from Aso rock for the burial were allegedly locked out of the Presidential Villa after the burial, a young actress, Funke Akindele, was sentenced to both fines and community service for hosting a birthday party in her house. A similar violation by an eccentric musician Naira Marly was shelved when his supporters stormed the court premises.
The lockdown has been confusing in its applications. While Lagos the Commercial center of Nigeria was locked down together with Abuja the administrative capital, the North remains unaffected by the lockdown. Besides, most of the palliatives have been sent to the North while Lagos has been allegedly ignored.
Lagos has been under siege by a cult of youths who branded themselves one million youths. They have been terrorizing the city amid harassments of Nigerians who cannot survive without daily hustle by law enforcement agents. In some states, more deaths have been recorded through brutal repression by the police and the army than by coronavirus.
