Director General of the Nigeria Center for Disease Control NCDC, Chikwe Ihekweazu, has said that easing the lockdown in Ogun, Abuja and Lagos state despite the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, wasn’t a mistake.
Ihekweazu said this when he appeared on TVC on Tuesday morning. The DG was asked if he thinks the easing of the lockdown was a mistake going by what happened yesterday where many people thronged banks and other public places, flouting all the precautionary guidelines against COVID19.
In his response, he said
”On our side, we don’t think there was a mistake. We knew at some point this day had to come but we really expected Nigerians and cooperate Nigeria to take a little bit more responsibility for what happened yesterday.
There is only little government can do. We can issue lockdown, we can bring out the police but we rely on the common sense of most Nigerians, we rely on cooperate Nigeria taking responsibility.
This is not being done for NCDC nor for the Federal government or the state government. It is being done do us.
So we really are counting. Lets take yesterday as an exception. Lets see what happens today. Let us see how many cooperates will come out of their offices and organize the queues in front of their offices. Let’s see how many cooperates will organize their office spaces and actually put out their hand washings and educate their staff on the changes that they need to do for themselves. This is not being done for us. This is being done for you. So all of us have to take responsibility”. he said
Ihekweazu hinted that some state governors have been unsupportive of the fight against the pandemic.
When asked why a lockdown hasn’t been enforced in some states such as Sokoto state where confirmed cases and deaths of COVID19 have been in the increase, Ihekweazu said everyone should remember that Nigeria is a Federal republic and that the Federal government and NCDCy dont have any enforcement powers. He applauded some state governors for being proactive and cooperative as the fight against the virus continues and implored others to do same.

Adetunji still Nets Over N1 Million monthly From Football Trading during this COVID 19 period when many People still Argue That No Football Matches are being played Around the World presently. Yinmu!
Football Trading is a Fantastic source to getting your own Palliatives this Corona Season. A perfect “stay at home, work at home” venture. If you had taken advantage of this before now, you possibly could have had no issues staying back at home now. It’s a superb stay at home income generator if done rightly like Adetunji’s doing.
Unfortunately, some people argue blindly that there are no football matches played around the World this time. But a simple check on flashscore daily will let them know that there are matches being played across leagues of NICARAGUA, BELARUS, TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, TAIWANfoo and even Friendly matches across Clubs of Korea and Sweden.
First step; Adetunji uncovered a reliable and trustworthy tipster from UK that concentrate solely on OVER 1.5 GOALS (now uses 2+ odds). He made used of the tips supplied from them daily. Average of 100% – 500% return on capital monthly was achieved using 3 rollover strategy (now use 2 rollovers). (That is explained in a video tutorial for those who will be fortunate to join in this)
The journey to uncover the trusted tipsters took him four years of falling into the hands of scammers. So many stories but have to cut short to save us time.
Secondly step; Adetunji sees football betting from a different perspective unlike many others see it. The reason he called his approach FOOTBALL TRADING and not football betting. He follows a laid down plan. Only 2% of people around the globe in to football betting know about this secret approach.
N200,000 starting capital
It will wow you to know it was 200k he turned to 6.2million naira in 3 months. He funded his betting account with 200k and subscribed to start receiving games from his trusted tipster. The strategy is to stake N20,000 only at the beginning of a rollover cycle (10 percent of the capital at the beginning of a rollover) and this grows along.
Below is a sample of what 2 rollover means. It’s the best approach. It will be explained in detail. Started the one below with 20k and made it 42k the 1st day. Used the 42k and turned it to 96k the 2nd day. That ends the rollover. A successful rollover. Achieving 7+ of such rollovers monthly is the target.
Click Here=> http://bit.ly/faizfah , to subscribe to Adetunji’s inner circle and you will see the breakdown of the process. He does not gamble but follow a laid down rule. He uses 10% of his capital to begin the rollover cycle. He trusted his UK’s tipster for this and strictly use his games.
He confessed that on rare occasion, the tipster might have a bad month in terms of
performance. He recalled a certain bad months but having come a long way to trust them, he always keeps calm, thinking of long-term benefits and hope for the best. So overall, it has been fantastic.
The months were February 2019 with -120% and December 2019 with -65% but, those were the only negatives in 2019. Every other months were cleared from 233% to 759% monthly returns. More details when you join. Year 2020 has been fantastic!
This whole thing might look complex especially to those who are not used to football betting already. But it isn’t. Even someone who has not done anything related to football betting before can implement this. Even if you don’t know who C. Ronaldo or Mourinho is.
I have told ADETUNJI to give more detailed explanation of the steps and processes involved, including sharing the games of his trusted Tipster and his strategy of using it daily. If you want that, Great. It means you can replicate his success.
Below is this Guy in the little world of his. He vowed to me that his target for the next 6months from football trading is 20 Million.
I have convinced him to show this secret to just 97 people on how he did it. Click on this link => http://bit.ly/faizfah to subscribe to him today

Leading Nigerian financial institution, First City Monument bank (FCMB) has issued an official statement to address the video making rounds about a customer who collapsed at its Onipan branch in Lagos State.
According to the Bank:
“Our attention has been drawn to a video making the rounds which shows a customer collapsing at our branch located at 178, Ikorodu Road, Onipan, Lagos State. We wish to clarify that:
– At around 11am on Monday, May 04, 2020 a middle-aged man visited the branch to carry out a transaction on the ATM. In line with our COVID-19 health and safety measures, his temperature was taken and found to be normal, and a hand sanitizer was available for use beside the machine
– While standing in line, however, the customer began to show signs of fatigue and collapsed. The fully masked and gloved branch support personnel came to his assistance, moving him to the branch security post.
– Upon enquiry, the customer indicated he had not had anything to eat and had been waiting in line for a short while. After resting and eating some snacks, he regained his strength and left the branch on his own.
– At no point did the customer exhibit any symptoms of respiratory distress, difficulty in breathing or high temperature as has been incorrectly reported on social media
– We understand the panic a 13-second video such as currently making the rounds can cause without the proper context at such a time as this. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has led to an unprecedented health situation and anxiety all around the world, including in Nigeria, where community transmission continues to rise. Ideally, this current anxiety should not be amplified by unverified, dramatic and purely hypothetical social media stories. We need to channel our energies towards curtailing the spread of the pandemic and ultimately, eradicating it entirely.
FCMB is at the forefront of the drive to achieve these two objectives. We have deployed robust health and safety measures at all our open branches including making use of face masks by customers and staff mandatory; checking of temperature before admittance into our premises; provision of hand sanitizers which must be used before entry into the banking halls and ATM areas; hourly disinfecting of teller counters and customer service tables; and ensuring social distance is maintained at all times.
We assure the public that we will remain unwavering in our commitment to doing all we can to safeguard our customers, employees and communities.”

The Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Chikwe Ihekeazu has advised Nigerians to maintain social distancing and keep to the guidelines of the agency or risk another lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking at the presidential task force briefing on COVID-19 in Abuja on Monday May 4, the NCDC DG admitted that new cases of Coronavirus may arise from non-compliance of health guidelines in some parts of the country where the total lockdown was lifted.
He said;
“It is not the guidelines per se, it is the thinking behind it. How do we want to manage the risk of explosion and transmission? Today, we might forgive a little bit because it is the first day.
“We will have infection because of what happened today, no doubt about that. But how can we learn from the mistakes of today into tomorrow, next tomorrow so by Friday hopefully we have normalised some of these things.
“Yes, we knew today would be a problem because for the first time, people were let out of their homes but now they are out and we have seen the sunlight again, the challenge for us as a society is how do we now organise ourselves to mitigate these risks and limit transmission?
“We might have a few extra infection today and tomorrow but what we don’t want is an explosion of new infections. If we do have that infection, there will be almost no choice left for the leadership of the country than to ask all of us to go back into our homes. So for the benefit of coming out to reopen parts of the economy, there is a price to pay which is to reorganise ourselves to do this safely.”
