E don happen. To your tents everyone

They should not worry o. We will remember this day when all is over.

So Lagos as technically lockdown it's borders to the rest of Nigeria

Na lie! Go Atan Otta road. See busy markets here and there.

From the man that doesn't even know what happens at the suburbs, lol laughing in Mandarin

Jokes ..

What about Agbara border?

I think is not necessary to close borders yet Bcos it hasn’t reached epidemic levels in those states, what he should be doing is test, test and more test

Border is shut before now, who open it?

Paddle your own canoe..lol

This is illegal, you cannot stop people from moving within any part of the country. What sort of nonsense imaginary borders are they closing?

Kudos

dabiodunMFR seyiamakinde jidesanwoolu pls these states are too interconnected to achieve, because none of you know all the leg routes into each states. Transmission is by people not goods, so the only solution is a joint strategic & controlled lockdown of the routes. God bless

About time....like I said..Nigerians always learn, the hard way. Protect YOUR land and YOUR PEOPLE,if the rest don't feel like,their loss.

I wonder the border been close...

Lol. After COVID -19, please remember to build roads that leads to those Borders you mentioned. Am still reasoning why Ogun State of all the VIP they get yet they show no interest in the Bad roads in that state.

Please before I journey from Omole phase 1 to opic where do I likely meet border?

Meanwhile, here is an opportunity to win 10k

good, maybe ogun state will now see how deplorable their roads around the borders are. every single road that ogun state shares with Lagos is a mess, dangerous and depicts irresponsibility on the part of the state govt. now they know they have borders. welldone

Is there border in Lagos and Ogun? Agbado crossing, Akute, Sango-ota, Alakuko-Dalemo, Ota Navy road- AIT side and Ojodu Berger etc where u don't even know which is which won't be part I am sure.

When almost all the non state workers there earn their income in Lagos.

Better ooo

Good step

Na lie

So Lagos and Ogun get borders? 🙄🙄

Good move! This is how a federal system of govt works. Buhari does not have the powers to close interstate borders. It is why trump beat a retreat after he had goofed about quarantining NY, NJ, CT. only the governors of those states ve the powers to do so not him!

No, leave it open. When I said Lagos and Abuja should close its borders since... No one took it serious. Now Covid-19 is spreading, y'all are beginning to have sense. Coronavirus doesn't travel, people help it travel by traveling.

All man for himself ni oooo

So Naija get state boarders now? 😂
