The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, on Friday, said the Federal Government could extend the 14-day lockdown should Lagosians and residents of Abuja and Ogun State not behave themselves.

The minister, who is a member of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, disclosed this in Abuja when he featured in a forum to give an update on government efforts at containing the pandemic.

He said, “If we don’t behave ourselves, there is a likelihood that the lockdown will be extended, but if we behave ourselves, there might not be an extension and I hope we do so.

“If we stay at home for two weeks and we are doing everything we are supposed to do, we should be able to effectively contain the disease.

“Therefore, my appeal to Nigerians is that they should obey the directive on social distancing, personal hygiene and shun gatherings; after two weeks, we will resume our normal life.

“But if they think it is a joke, then we may have to stay at home more than the two weeks.”

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) in a national broadcast, had directed the cessation of all movement in the FCT, Lagos and Ogun States for an initial period of 14 days.

He said all citizens in the affected areas were to stay at home, adding that the containment period would be used to identify, trace and isolate individuals that had come in with confirmed cases.

There are about 200 COVID-19 cases in Nigeria including two deaths.

The pandemic, which has infected about one million people globally, has paralysed economic and socio-religious activities in most parts of the West African country.

I still remain Ada ogwashi

Stupid man, u people in power are the most useless people, who are the people most infected and spreading the disease, is it not the influencial elites? They will come and and start spreading rubbish,

Are you threatening us?

Fake

It will be extended, not becos they didn't behave themselves but becos the virus won't be contained after the two weeks. Be truthful for once, Mr Lie Moh.....

Na by threatening this time?

Is this a threat or something...?

If what is happening in other countries are anything to go by, d lockdown would definitely b extended.. It has nothing to do with whether ppl behave themselves or not. A hungry man is an angry man

extend it please as long as it will curtail corona spreading am In total of it,if anybody want to die of hunger let them die those who have food will survive but if we don't maintain social distancing and many people are infected we will be forced to stay at home even without lockdown and a lot of people will stil die like Italy case and America

Prudencely:
Govt should first behave itself

Sorry sir !!


Abeg sir

More trouble

Big Brother, we are addressing Covid - 19, not pattern of Nigerian behavior.

Should it be necessary for the disease management, please extend it.

Abi aye eleyi fe baje ni??

Cc Lalasticlala

Obviously this guy is a big old fool..!!
Is lockdown some form of punishmemt on the masses or what? Maybe we all don't get it...but this statement speaks volume...!!
We are truely on our own in Nigeria with these bunch of useless APC people in power...!! Just don't get it they are all not smart and intelligent and its like that across board...!!

God please dash lai Mohammed some sense

Flexing muscles like a dictator

This government should not just keep people at home with out any provision of food and other palliatives to assist everybody and not only the Ghost vulnerable people that can not be identified and validated because extend this lock down originated by the issues caused by the government and the rich/political class implies death sentence to the masses !!

Is this a threat

So lockdown is now a punishment to Nigerians for not behaving themselves.

Did you and your irresponsible government behave yourselves when you refused to close the borders? Don’t threaten us yet. Whatever the outcome is, we are all in for it. No traveling for anybody, including you.

yes we here ... we kuku know your parents named you LIE Mohamed for a good reason

Is that a threat?!
When the Western Countries' Leaders are lovingly placating with stimulus to make this Covid era easy for their people, ours that gave nothing are still hell-bent by making it worse and unbearable.
In this stay at home era, our Lithium Device is performing wonders for those that got theirs earlier, powering their houses 24hours. Get this uninterruptable enjoyment in your home. You know what to do, do it now.

I just hate this man

It is looking more like a punishment than a protective measure against COVID-19
