You recently lost your trusted, dedicated, patriotic and dogged ally— Mallam Abba Kyari. And while you may still be grieving, Nigeria is on a brink of making a monumental mistake that promises dire consequences.
SIR: The world is sick; Nigeria is increasingly getting her share of the bile cake; world economies are crumbling and gasping for breath; the perceived ‘almighty’ nations are in the proverbial stages of grief; and dear president— you recently lost your trusted, dedicated, patriotic and dogged ally— Mallam Abba Kyari. And while you may still be grieving, Nigeria is on a brink of making a monumental mistake that promises dire consequences.
To put in graphical perspectives; it was 195 new positive cases on April 28, 196 the day after and 204 on the last day of the month, taking the total to 1932 confirmed cases with 51 deaths and 319 discharged. This is a troubling statistic that promises disaster once this lockdown is eased as planned.
History is supposed to guide our actions. Cue in the torment of Spanish flu that counter-attacked fiercely once the initial measure was relaxed. In Germany, China and other countries, data indicated a second wave of Coronavirus that further complicated matters. Italy was stung hard by underestimating the powers of a relaxed decision, just like we are about to do.
