183 in Lagos, NCDC.. The easing is returning the hand of the clock back, please review your policy before it’s too late. Imaging Kwara who sustain clean sheet for some good days now return in a bad rate.

Easing Lockdown is just thesame as Lockdown without palliatives. The best option is to Lockdown, provide palliative & embark on free mass testing & contact tracing. Anything short is just another suicide mission.183 in Lagos is just the beginning. Govt must take responsibility.

From lifting the lockdown boom 183 in Lagos, this is really terrifying. The truth is, relaxing this lockdown has done more harm than good and federal govt needs to intervene and do something as a matter of urgent.

Fellow brethren, I tell you today that this isn’t a physical virus and it’s has very little power spiritually like they use it to learn, this isn’t the real one self.

183 in Lagos!!!#extendlockdown

I wouldn’t say the easing of the lockdown is the only problem here, i mean there was already community transmission on going even before the lockdown was relaxed, i feel @NCDCgov are probably conducting more test now.
