Finally Lagos, Borneo and Delta excluded see why

FG excludes Lagos, Borno, Delta from cash transfer as North West gets biggest

• MURIC alleges corruption in sharing of COVID19 relief materials

Lagos, Borno, Delta states have been excluded from the National Cash Transfer for COVID-19, while the North West zone gets the biggest share. The National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO) info-graphics created on April 11, 2020 and made public by the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) revealed the discrepancies in the cash transfer scheme.

It disclosed that 1,126,211 households were currently benefitting from the conditional cash transfer including: Katsina (133,227), Zamfara (130,764), Jigawa (99,004), Kano (84,148) and Plateau (78,431), while Borno, Delta and Lagos got zero allocation, among others.

Speaking to The Guardian, a public analyst, Bola Bolawole, lamented what he described as unequal relationship among states of the country given the lopsidedness in the national transfer scheme.

He said, “While there is nothing national in it, it is actually a transfer of the wealth of one section of the country to another. It shows the nepotism and tribalism of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, whether in appointments or allocation of resources, projects and even the coronavirus pandemic.”

On his part, Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin said the states being totally locked down received nothing, adding that the country could not continue this way.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has introduced a scheme to cushion the effect of the lockdown on on its residents. The new palliatives were rolled announced less than 24 hours after President Buhari extended restriction of movement in Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

The scheme came on the heels of the commencement of the second part of Food Stimulus Packages being distributed to 250,000 residents since the lockdown directive came into effect.

Besides, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has advised the federal, state and local government authorities to create feeding centres urgently in order to cushion the effect of the extension of COVID-19 lockdown.

It said this followed its discontent with the handling of relief materials meant for poor Nigerians, noting that the extension was the best option, especially with the new revelation that index cases had increased.

MURIC’s Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in a statement said, “Government at all levels should device means of making the diversion of palliatives cumbersome, unprofitable and unnecessary.

Meanwhile, the Biafra Zionists Federation (BZF) has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari administration of dividing Nigeria along ethnic lines amid the coronavirus disease.

Leader of BZF, Benjamin Onwuka, yesterday said at a time when countries of the world were united in seeking solutions to the pandemic and cushioning the effects of lockdown on their citizens, the Buhari government was politicising distribution of palliatives.

His words: “It is now clear that the Buhari-led government has recognised us a people who are no longer part of Nigeria. This is manifest in the way the South East people are being excluded in welfare schemes.

“First, it was the $22.7b loan, which made provisions for other geopolitical zones, except the South East. As if that was not enough, the South East has been schemed out of the COVID-19 palliatives. They are sharing money to their cronies in the North, neglecting those in the South East.”

BIG STORY FROM LAGOS AS SHARED ON OUR WHATSAPP PAGE BY H.E HIGH CHIEF SIR SOLOMON ONYEKWELU (THE IDEANI IGWESHIP CANDIDATE AND ONE TIME PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN NIGERIA) READ BELOW

Efforts by the Lagos State Government to stop the spread of Coronavirus and fight COVID-19 pandemic are being increasingly undermined by some rich individuals in society afflicted by the disease.

Ashamed to go to the public health facility at Yaba earmarked by the state government for the treatment of patients down with COVID-19, these coronavirus infected affluent members of society are resorting treatment in private clinics, putting medics in such hospitals and whoever came in contact with them at risk.

The development has drawn the ire of the Lagos State Government which prompted the authorities to close down one of such private hospitals located on the Lagos Island.
Sources told KaftanPost that most of these rich patients contracted the virus in London, the United Kingdom, after attending the infamous 80th birthday celebrations of the Nigerian High Commissioner to Britain, Justice George Oguntade.

On their return to Nigeria via Virgin Atlantic flight in the 3rd week of March , they felt unwell and secretly took a Coronavirus test and the result was positive.

It was gathered that instead of reporting their conditions to the health authorities in the state for them to be taken to the isolation/treatment centre at Yaba, they approached this popular hospital (name withheld) on the Island where they were treated and discharged.
Subsequently, they told their equally infected friends about the hospital which has been treating them, even providing home service through some of its nurses.

This development is now a source of concern for the government as the hospital is not equipped to handle cases of infectious diseases like COVID -19.

In the process of getting treated in this private hospital, some medics and other staff get infected, as most of the medical staff, though versed in symptoms management and general prophylactic treatment are not familiar with the protocols of infectious disease hospitalization. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious and virulent coronavirus many of which characteristic and pathogenesis are just being discovered.

Observers believe that even though the government can do better with more rapid and extensive testing, treatment and isolation, when those who feel too privileged to be treated in public facilities hide and thereby spread the disease to others who in turn spread it far and wide in their communities, many who are in lockdown might still innocently catch the bug.

This particular hospital is a secret medical Mecca spread by whispers and hushed recommendations amongst the afflicted upper crust of Lagos who, for some inexplicable misconception, treat COVID-19 positive result as a stigma reminiscent of leprosy in ancient times HIV/AIDS of recent.

A source informed KaftanPost that a few of her family friends treated “successfully” at the said undesignated hospital has brought many more for discreet treatment.
A majority of the illicit patients is resident in the highbrow Ikoyi, Banana Island and Victoria Island, many are well oiled enough to retain private nurses from the hospital to give additional home care, further exposing inexperienced nursing hands to the risks of infections.

In the case of a few returnees from the United Kingdom, two of whom had travelled to attend the infamous tone deaf and ill-timed 80th birthday party of Justice Oguntade, the Nigerian High Commissioner, these party goers flew in by Virgin Air VS 651 from London third weekend in March 2020, and obviously circulated themselves all over the city until they became symptomatic one after another and had to be swiftly secreted into this notorious hospital. So they just went private quietly.

Our reporter gathered that the sloppiness of NCDC and Lagos State Health officials has contributed to many COVID-19 positive returnees slipping through the crack because even though many initially called NCDC numbers in panic and with a sense of emergency, the lacklustre and cavalier response from health agency allayed the fears of some regarding the seriousness of the disease.

Others who felt snubbed by NCDC even became more desperate and resorted to self-help and private treatment. The poor examples shown by high-level officials in Abuja and many state governors in adopting private hospitals for their own treatment unlike the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson who checked into the publicly run St Thomas Hospital, gives the signal to the high and mighty caught in the web of COVID-19 to assume that the isolation ward at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Yaba in Lagos is for the down trodden masses.

A public health expert who agrees to speak to KaftanPost on condition of anonymity, being a serving medic at the Infectious Diseases Hospital Yaba, believes that the next stage in the anti-COVID-19 action plan which includes the door-to-door exercise will discover more positive patients at their homes and bring them within the public healthcare.
Our source believes that in Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lekki and suburbs of Etiosa Local Government lie several hundreds to a few thousands who must be detected and properly treated if Lagos as the Nigerian Epicentre of COVID-19 must stem the tidal waves of the virus.

The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, the Commissioner of Police, the Nigerian Medical Association and the Association of Private Hospitals as well as pharmacists and nurses in Lagos must unite and issue a communique forbidding any health practitioner from treating any case of infectious diseases at home and in secret.
Asked as to whether the sufficiency of beds and facilities at the Isolation Centre can accommodate all the suspected cases if they show up in their thousands as now estimated, another source at the NCDC office in Lagos told KaftanPost that the state has enough facilities and is building more.

She noted that if it comes to the usage of private hospitals, the government will be the first to approach the managements of selected private hospitals to take in as many positive patients as such hospitals can properly care for. Moreso, such hospitals have to be closed to the general public as infectious diseases wards are not supposed to mix with other aspects of medical facilities.

As to what can be done about hospitals that are harbouring upscale and elitist patients unofficially, especially on the islands of Lagos and those who resort to home service, our source advised that they must overcome whatever notions they hold about not wanting to go to isolation centre because of stigma because there is no bigger stigma than for anyone to carelessly or recklessly extinguish their entire family by infecting them with a deadly disease which the index patient might survive and become well but others in the family and neighbourhood could be swept away by.

To avoid the painful waste of time and resources sacrificed during the lockdown, government and the people must unite in sincerity of purpose to wage a transparent war against the disease.

Many in government know most of these friends of theirs whom they trust to self-isolate but do not actually keep to their words in that front, the source said, adding It is dangerous, reckless and counterproductive when our bosses advise ordinary people on the street on what to do but cover up for their friends and acquaintances and encourage them to stay at home to spread the virus in the name of VIP care.

These social lapses ultimately and eventually endanger the well-being and health of all persons whether positive, negative or recovered, our source surmised.

Imagine- Monarch, Local Government Chairman In Edo Clash Over Distribution Of Relief Items

The Edo State Government had released food items as palliatives to cushion the effects of the outbreak of Coronavirus in the state on residents.

The Enogie of Egor Kingdom, His Royal Highness Tony Aigberowman ll, and Chairman of Egor Local Government Area, Eghe Ogbemudia, have confronted each other over the distribution of relief materials to residents in the community.

The Edo State Government had released food items as palliatives to cushion the effects of the outbreak of Coronavirus in the state on residents.

The distribution of the food items led to a face-off between the king and local government chairman along with their loyal thugs.

While the king accused the local government chairman of diverting the relief items meant for the people, the local government chairman said the king harassed her for trying to ensure the equal distribution of the materials.

Narrating what went down, Ogbemudia said she was supervising the distribution of the items at the palace when the king ordered some thugs to beat her.

She also accused the king of hoarding some of the food items in his palace.

She said, "The Enogie of Egor ordered his boys to beat me in the palace because he has intercepted the state government's food intervention.

"The one that was sent to each local government was to be shared accordingly but people in that community were not getting anything."

On his part, the king refuted claims that he hoarded food items, saying that he only ensured that it was evenly distributed to the poor and underprivileged in his domain.

He said, “When the food items came to Egor, some were given to the Odionwere of Egor, while the remaining ones were given to one Pastor Jonathan Ajayi, APC Ward 4 Vice Chairman.

"That the attention of Enogie of Egor was later drawn to the confiscation of some of the items by the said APC Ward 4 Vice Chairman on the mistakenly believe that the items was meant for APC Ward 4 members only.

"To ensure equitable distribution of the food items, the Enogie now ordered them to be brought to the palace central food pool and there it was distributed to the poor and underprivileged with evidencing of distribution."

After the initial misunderstanding between the monarch and local council chairperson, the food items were later distributed among residents.

For me, it began as a panic, lockdown has been experience in China that has already become drearily familiar to hundreds of millions of people in China and one that could be heading the rest of the world's way very soon.

So how can you best prepare for the next 14 days being cut off from the world? Food shortages have not been a key issue in China unlike Nigeria during the fight against COVID-19, but China can’t hurt to stock a month of nonperishable food. Soups are particularly recommended for variety and ease of preparation if sick, as well as the comfort value.

The main worry in China for most people hasn't been running out of food or water which government agencies prioritize supplying their people while indoors.

A lot of emotional stories has been shared by people in Nigeria as a result of lockdown to COVID-19, some more severely stricken than others. I have severe anxiety and depression, commented on social media who asked for anonymity.

The immediate past PG of ideani: Comr. Emma Okpala gave an advocacy saga to the state government on corona virus methodology. Read below:

To the state government.

Following the ongoing lockdown in the state, it is of essence to urge the government to ensure sustainable post-lock down strategies towards curbing the spread of this novel virus. Several strategies should be employed for markets, schools, offices, event centers and other public places which must ensure reinforcement of frequent hand washing and sanitization at entrances and exits of premises.

Prepare and maintain handwashing stations with soap, running water and hand sanitizers.
Routine cleaning and disinfection of school buildings, shops, classrooms especially water and sanitization facilities at least once a day particularly surfaces that are touched by many people (railings, tables, doors, window handles, teaching and learning aides).
A passionate plea to the state  government to  subsidize or freely distribute nose/mouth covers, hand sanitizers, hand gloves to Anambrarians.

Establish a task force to ensure compliance to use of the above PPE.
Enforce safe distancing, with disciplinary measures put in place for defaulters. For how long will the people.

Survive a comprehensive lockdown without palliative measures in place.
Anambrarians are getting hungry, our stores are getting depleted. No Covid-19 related death has been recorded so far within the state, but a life has been lost to gunfire by The Nigerian police force.

These above strategies if employed, would go a long way towards curbing the spread of Covid-19 and similar communicable diseases while we are allowed to march on with daily lives. There is a need to reopen markets and business as hunger  and crime is yet to be unveiled as the new enemy.

Thanks.
