Our governor has gone cucumbers again.

Lmao this man dull no be small sha... Stupidity of the highest order, you want to start arresting the innocent citizens just because they ain't wearing face masks?? Nuff jokes

Let’s just assume for a moment that Buhari was the one who gave this order,what would umahi and the igbos say?

How many have the state government made available...

What have we done to deserve this

lol. overdo country

Yinmu. Oyinbo ppl wey dey wear face masks still dey catch covid-19... i guess we re just lucky the disease is not strong in sub-sahara Africa

Doing too much

Did you make it available? You should first make it available for all. Not 1 per person oh, at least one carton per person since it is not advisable wearing one for a long time

Good...shoot at sight

Spread the message and not the virus


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoxx4zU4BcI

Arrest and take them where ? , these ppl keep making same mistake , they never learn

more employment for police

and more brutality videos
back and forward leaders everywhere

and keep em where? Inside a police cell where they'll observe zero social distancing?

johnmartus:
Everything about this man is dictatorship.

Have to agree with you.

Make covid-19 no teach this man lesson o, hin dey mad

Did he share anyone to his people ?

This governor should also ban selling face mask above 30 naira because Nigerians don't love themselves, it's the time you need them especially in a life threatening situation that they show you who they really are

This guy likes too much noise

Why don't you make it free... Then arrest anyone who hoes out without wearing any

Unless the masks are free this is completely uncalled for besides the mask is meant for those that are I'll or attending to those that have the virus. But I don't blame them sha.

OK

E dun begin shack am now.


When are our leaders going to be creative with leadership?

All these orders for people that are not sure of what and how to survive.

Ease fears of feeding, expunge current bills, give some money after the ease, and encourage Naijans to help find a cure.

Is not to be hiding in the house while we wait for Europe, Asia, America, and other serious nations to find the Cure and give us signal to lift the ban.

Push the Cure or solution agenda.

If you jail them, then they go and get it in the jail.
