An aviation expert, Mrs Victoria Adegbe, has said the Federal Government can curb the spread of coronavirus without shutting down the nation’s airports.

Adegbe, who is a United States Federal Aviation Administration licensed flight dispatcher, said the Federal Government should review the closure of airports and other economic activities as a way of curbing the spread of COVID – 19, adding that a continuous shutdown would spell doom for the industry.

Adegbe proposed a ban on the use of such trays and the use of disposable trash bags to be placed at screening points and trashed after use. “Then you get to the screening point. Here you put your carry-on in a tray for screening while you pass the screening machine empty handed. Then you pick the tray containing your personal effects, take possession of your items and the tray is picked by the officials to be used by someone else.

She said the solution should be to throw away the trays or burn them, adding that Nigeria could be the first country to implement it, if the government considered the option.

Not possible because it is through airport that brought us the virus

Big lie

Who ever that thought of these is insane

What about sitting spaces on the airplanes for social distancing? Is everyone onboard going to wear mask?

People can always open and close the mouth anyhow sha

Which unfortunate fellow said that?

Awon dindinrin, they have started again. It’s paining them that there’s no way to run away and treat themselves. Oshisko

Experts

Who said that?

Nigerian is in for a disaster

I want to believe its a slip of tongue........you didn't really mean what you've just said

Who is this low level brain? How did the COVID 19 entered Nigeria?

And how did this help Italy or America, people should just take the lockdown in good faith, do their part and we all can go back to our normal lives

Because u trained in US doesn't mean u are smarter than the medical professionals that advised lock down on all port of entry. Ur opinion is selfish and shallow

She's united states licensed, so leave Nigeria alone.

How?

Mind yourself!!!

Who is this one?

Very useless set of people. So more can come from other countries abi. Greed woukd kill all those govt. God pls help us o

Punch reporters please ask the Federal Government to provide details of ways they will support the many Nigerians that have no food because the did not have any surpluses to store any. The president’s speech was to verbose and lacked details to help citizens

In the first instance, it was the conspiracy of the Nigerian elites that ensures that the Airports etc remains opened until the COVID-19 is fully imported into the Country by their families and friends.

Who is this again? Must we always claim to know everything?

This woman Mrs Victoria Adegbe is a paid agent of China to spread more Chinese coronavirus in Nigeria if not that she an agent what kind of stupid homicide advice is this.

Are you Okae ? Didn’t u hear in China that even people without symptoms also test positive

It dosen’t make sense

For their mind while other countries has shut down everywhere

Who is this fool?

No!!! If we open ours Oyinbo will not open theirs! Then what is d point?

This information from Punch Newspaper is to say the least worrisome. The advise is the same reason for which each country of the world is suffering from the virus. If nations had shut their airports/ seaports and borders from day 1, the virus would not have gained entry...(1)

Who is that dead man that want others to die with him😠😠😠😠

Airport was left they started shouting close! close! close! airports are now closed, reopen! reopen! reopen! What kinds of people are these?

Looking for ways to travel out and treat themselves,, you are going nowhere,,, we die here

Who be this one?

Really! .. please remember that life has no duplicate.

Because e don dey affect una weh rich ba? Una deh craze for brain.

Are you okay🙄

You're talking in the nonsense

The person behind this is coronary mentally challenged

Who is tweeting this nonsense? God punish your mouth

Who talk that thing na anti-society

Fine! Govt should be able to curb COVID-19 without luckdown then....awon were pple

Someone is obviously missing their side chic

They want import more Coronavirus cases into Nigeria.

She’s MAD

Oloriburuku

Oloshi alakoba

Mrs. Victoria Adegbe... You are very mad and wicked to utter such arrant nonsense. Stop showing casing your stupidity please. You think you are the best aviation expert in the world that all countries have shut down their airlines and you are saying ours should be open. 😡

I disagree!!!

When symptoms doesn't show till 14days ?

Mad people everywhere😔

This person must be mad oloun

The government The person who said it And Mobile punch You all are Mad😈😈

Even the Punch Editor that allowed this to get out of the gate is stupid! Yes Stupid!

It does some persons brains have gone viral in this country, how can someone who have been resident in Nigeria, knowing the history of how this virus came into the country, come up with such a myopic thought? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

This is one of newspaper calling for attentions

They are now thinking of the money. Useless country.

Do you guys really think your families will be exempted from the spread When 70% of carrier's are returnees. Is d late closure of our border's that has kept us in this situation that we find ourselves in. Is like you guys don't have stories any more.

A senseless thought

Make dem no try am ooh. 🙄

Nawa...see sense radarada...do you know many people have passed through screening not showing yet only to start after some days? And by then im sure they will be with families and friends asos..if shes bored at home, make she go jump inside lagoon swim lekki to ikorodu 2ce daily

How

No we cannot curb nothing!!! They should not be opened

Na Who dey vomit this one 🤔

She's on her own

He's not mad for saying that he said because he knows what's actually going on

You are a fool.Oh! this is April Foolish he-she goat

It is unfortunate that we forget about the importance of people's lives and say rubbish all in an effort to oppose the government. It is possible but not in Nigeria. The afrocentric approach is to shut down the airports. That is the best decision MBuhari has made this pandemic.

Then use padlock on people's mouth to avoid sneezing or coughing. Thank you!

How? Pls share

How?

Whoever said this is the biggest fool on earth

Hollumyity Who talk that shit

Very very Mad when China is refusing others to come to there country

It is so difficult following semi-illiterates!

Who is that mad person that said this?

Just as they refuse to do all along that has now brought this pandemic upon us.

That’s possible but based on the funny nature of this corona virus, it’s too risky. Someone who tests negative during entry can start showing symptoms later.

The person that said this just ran away from Yaba left

Madame too know. Everybody don turn adviser

Are these people ok?

This is not tenable because most Covid 19 cases are imported

Her name is Mrs Victoria Adegbe, and her emphasis was on using disposable trays during screening to avoid the spread of the virus. Please let the industry collapse, we'll start all over when we are alive please

continuous shutdown would spell doom for the industry, what flimsy reason is this, so the industry is more important that the life of the citizen. Sincerely Nigeria is a joke.

You're talking in the rubbish 😂😂😂

It’s a lie

You people should not politicize this fight against Corona Virus. It will affect everyone regardless of the divide. Not the times for dirty politics

Punch Newspaper should be thinking about any article before publishing. Someone is living in New York and she's talking about what we should do in Nigeria, if what she is saying works New York will not be under lockdown now

Who is this bastard?

Who just spoke nonsense?

Una wan start again abiii?

E be like sey these people no get sense again

Which kind displays of stupidity be this for christ sake.

This is d most senseless govt I have ever seen.

Around the world, nations are shutting down airports 😏 Abeg shift

Una don start

The person that said this is stupid

The person that said this is mad
