In a nation such as Nigeria, hobbled by a ramshackle leadership, how do we fight such a war as COVID-19?On account of the geographical evolution of the war, from China through Western Europe to the United States, we did not have the “usual” challenge of foreign reporters descending on Africa to report.
The nature and speed of the spread of COVID-19 nullified this strategy, compelling the high and mighty to remain in Nigeria and share the air of the poor and lowly that they despise, belittle, exploit and cheat. These urgent messages must focus on the nature of the virus and indexed on the evidence being provided by the World Bank and such reputable sources as the CDC of the United States, and adapted as much as possible to local conditions.That the virus can live on various surfaces for hours, and in some cases, several days.
How do you tell people who live from hand to mouth to stock up on supplies, or to buy disinfectants and bleach when they have no food, or even to wash their hands regularly when they lack water? On Twitter, Zahra Buhari directed her query at Jalal Arabi, the Permanent Secretary at State House: “More than N3billion budgeted for the State House clinic and workers there don’t have the equipment to work with? Why? Where is the money going to? Medication only stocked once since the beginning of the year? Why?”
But the questions were really all aimed at the wrong targets, especially Mr Arabi, who fell in a minor “cabinet reshuffle,” last week, “demoted” to another Ministry.
