COVID-19: Assessment of FG, States response (2)
Onikan Isolation Centre Lagos

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 them to stay at home, otherwise be ready for the death of all because there’s nowhere to run to now.” -Bakare Oluwaseun, 
Activist

“The response to the pandemic is quite commendable but not enough because, aside from the isolation centres in each state, government did not provide anything for Nigerians to live on after declaring a total lockdown in some states.

“They should provide money for everyone. That will save the masses.” -Akintunde Johnson, Media practitioner

“They are doing their best. It wouldn’t have gotten to this extent if the borders were shut at the initial stage.

“After shutting the borders, they should have tested the students in various schools before sending them home, what if any of them caught the virus before going back home?” -Jennifer Chindo, Corps member

“Lagos State Govt is really working tirelessly because Lagos has the largest number of infected people.

“But the state and FG should please donate free relief materials to all Nigerians so that we will not have another issue of hunger pandemic which can lead to insecurity.” -Osbey Iriah Omoh, Businesswoman

“The Federal Government’s response to COVID-19 from the Presidency, is erratic and the feedbacks from NCDC are highly discouraging.

“We are not ready for this at all. Here in Edo State, the #StayAtHome# is not hugely enforced as people are still going about their daily activities.” -Oluwaseyi Odebode, Student

“I think initially the FG didn’t think it was serious and didn’t put up good preventive measures to keep it out of Nigeria.

“But for now, Lagos State is trying its best to contain it by setting up centres for the sick as well as providing food. But they can do better. They should think smarter.” -Onyejiuwa Amaka Esther Corps member

Tanzania’s Magufuli: ‘Bulldozer’ who flattened freedoms - Enjoy this Awesome Report

Image
President of Tanzania, John Magufuli Tanzanian President John Magufuli came to power as a no-nonsense man of the people nicknamed The Bulldozer, but along with popular efforts to clean up graft, he has been accused of crushing dissent and stifling democracy. The 61-year-old on Friday won a second term in office with a resounding 84 percent of the vote, after an election which the opposition said was riddled with irregularities. Magufuli was first elected in 2015 on a fiery anti-corruption stance which endeared him to a population weary of graft scandals under his predecessor Jakaya Kikwete. He quickly took wildly popular decisions, such as scrapping lavish independence day celebrations in favour of a street clean-up and banning unnecessary foreign trips for officials. Several headline-grabbing incidents saw him showing up in person to demand why civil servants were not at their desks, while in one case officials were briefly jailed for lateness. Dozens of officials implicated ...

Could FG be whitewashing EFCC through Bawa? - Enjoy this Awesome Report

Image
Abdulrasheed Bawa By Segun Ige PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari could actually be whitewashing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission through the approval of Abdulrasheed Bawa. The EFCC is crucially a formative organ in the Nigerian justice system. Buhari could, ideologically speaking, be making the gesture that this ‘born-again’ EFCC would demonstrate unflinching conversion and redemption of lost years. It would be a sheer ignominy and impunity to overlook how, even at 60, we still can’t manage ‘small matters’. I’m extremely appalled by the fact that the Ibrahim Magu case had to be presided over by the U.K. Business and Property Courts of England and Wales. To be sure, certain constitutional scholars and legal practitioners were glad that Magu eventually won the case – but have indeed forgotten that unless the commercial court intervened, we could still be perennially grappling with one Magu case, or worse still, just wrap it away in a nolle prosequi or dead-end sine die .
