How not to police a pandemic

the world went into a panic mode. Fear! The media went berserk with many conspiracy theories and junk news hitting the airwaves. Soon, it was a dose of news of deaths from Wuhan-China. Next it was to Italy, and America cases were rising daily, then index case in Nigeria, and before you say ‘Corona’ the entire world had been overwhelmed by the virus.

Gradually, we all forgot that we are all equal victims. Those in government soon saw themselves as more morally anointed to teach, and most times flog, everyone else into compliance. It must be a total lockdown! Suddenly, the army shooting was announced in Warri. Some residents were said to have revolted the alleged killing and an army official was allegedly beaten.

The bribery on our highways: While the interstate lockdown was still in force, several reports showed that agents of the state had embarked on tips collection to allow travelers access to other states under lockdown. This is another demonstration of a lack of faith in the battle to combat the pandemic.

On palliatives, whereas the governments at both the state and federal levels have pretended to be giving out palliatives in form of food items, the majority of the households were left unattended to and those who received items lamented the very poor nature of the palliatives. This goes to show that governments across the country are not prepared enough for any form of crisis or a major national emergency.
