It will serve better if the federal government of Nigeria have giving out money to poor Nigerians to manage their lives indoor than to ease the covid 19 lockdown to increase the spread of the virus. This money in its distribution needs to be through bank accounts of the individuals to avoid exploitation of the poor by big and corrupt Nigerians

Why Nigeria federal government are very wicked
Sounds annoying, look at the childish preventive measures provided by the screwed up government body. It makes me sick ?. If corona virus is actually in Nigeria then half of the population is gone, because the preventive measures is just formalities. If face mask could prevent corona virus then the doctors treating covid-19 patients would never be infected because they cover all their body. It’s time for NCDC to make money and gamble with people life. Crap government system.
Why is it only Lagos number increase massively much more then other populated town like Kano, Port and others. Why Lagos always?
Which state is more populated than Lagos in Nigeria?
U tlk abt size, u look at Kano nt population.
What measures are putting in place to address this spread? What am seeing here is more of a sport reporter telling the fans who is topping the league.
Fact, there are covid 19 infected people but the actual number………???
Money should be disturbed through bank account,and who ever gave this ncdc our number should also give them our account number
Gov yahyah Bello have spoken the truth over coronavirus in Nigeria. All is scam .I just dey pass by ni oo

Absolute twaddle – there are 500 new cases in Bonny alone. People are dying and the mortuary full. This is an International emergency and the State and National government are just sweeping it under the carpet.
Mumu people
God will seek your protection
God help us all
In my humble opinion, Kogi State is the ideal face of Coronavirus in Nigeria. Zero case. Not as if few people dont die there. But not because of some phantom disease
Ncdc is scamdemic behind this pandemic
When will this scam end. Oh God help us pass judgement on Nigeria politicians for feceivibg the citizens at all levels of governance.
Please publish my email if u want to is better to die by something else than to die by hunger, they r doing all this because they r feeding well with their families. God will punish their generations

Enough of this,our leaders re making money out of this leave us to hustle for our dailylives if we perish we perish
You people will always increase the number without showing the infected people ,I dont know if government thinks Nigerians re kids we
Lagos government is not proactive about the covid19 rise every day or they don’t have ideas on what to do
May Allah forgive us, but only God can protect us.
Most of the Nigeria leaders didn’t have human feeling……
Does infrared thermometer confirm the status of a patient? How many persons are tested in a day and how long does it take for a result to come out. How many testing kits do we have in each state. It will be confusing the record to use infrared thermometer temperature record as a confirmed case of covid-19.

How can we get access to the Nigerian COVID 19 dataset?
WHY ARE WILL IMPOSING COVID-19 ON OURSELIES,HOW DO WILL KNOW THE AMOUNT OF COVID-19 VICTIMS.DO WE HAVE ANY KIT TO DETECT COVID-19
I think your figures for total COVID-19 deaths as at 22/10/2020 is not correctly written. I can read 1,1127 which may translate to eleven thousand, one hundred and twenty seven. You may wish to clear this factual error.
Nairametrics is yet to effect corrections on the total number of deaths even after publishing a comment that drew their attention to the error. Do we have a moderator here at all?
who told u nigeria have covid-19, liers
fake report
Please stop lying to us,there’s no Corona virus anywhere,provide food for us to eat. Hunger is killing people.
You guys are mad with this stupid covid update.There is no covid anywhere stop deceiving yourselves
Stop this lies corona virus is not in Nigeria even high fever is more dangerous than corona virus
May God help us and Grant strength to NCDC
Your latest figures don’t add up for Confirmed Cases.
86,576 on 30/Dec plus
1,031 new casas on 31/ Dec should be
87,607.
So something must be missing there. Please check and confirm or correct your records.
Please note, it is called a NOVO coronavirus not NOVEL coronavirus.
Why is it that is only in Nigeria that the Corona virus is displayed in figure….it seems it is scam not even real
May God help us
This is one clear example of why research results from Africa is never trusted. They are only playing along they Know COVID statistics are bunch of lies.

It is only when Nigeria will be financially barren, the covid-19 case will be over.
When you’re done stealing then you let us know
