THIS CORONA VIRUS: A NOTE TO CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY

1. I applaud cutting the budget benchmark to $30 a barrel, there is no shame in revising your prior position in the face of current realities. $30 is too optimistic given the supply surplus. Put it at $25. This fall won’t bottom until April- May when summer travel begins.

2. Thank you for cutting pump price but that is just putting plaster on a wound to ward of flies instead of alcohol swab and antibiotics to clean and heal it. Stop feeding the fat cats and save the majority. Use the opportunity this crisis presents to totally deregulate the downstream instead of cutting pump price.

3. Ban religious gatherings for two months. All the spitting, throwing of sputum and blowing of noses at ablution places combined with shouts of hallelujah will weaponize this virus more. Act now! I know tithe takers will not be happy but it will save lives.

4. Public transportation is a huge risk. People should keep quiet when in one and should take a shower after being in one in addition to other sanitary measures.

5. Start public enlightenment through jingles and television advertisement and ban any gathering exceeding 50 people including parties until end of May.

6. Banking halls and public spaces should admit 10 people at a time. No visit to offices for personal reasons until end of May.

Nigeria is very unsanitary. We don’t have the health infrastructure. This is not Ebola. Contact tracing alone cannot help. Children in other places can weather this. Our own children are malnourished. They will succumb in thousands if they catch the virus. Do not hesitate to put these hard measures in place. Learn from the fate of Italy and America. They are smart rats who got caught in a trap. The foolish rat better learn or get roasted.

May God save us from bad diseases and bad actions.
