Nigerian Coronavirus Outbreak: Is the Worst Yet to Come?

Nigeria, which is the most populated country in the African continent, has over too many COVID-19 cases and more than 300 deaths. Earlier, Norvergence LLC has reported that there is no doubt the coronavirus has been relatively slow to take hold in Nigeria, but hot spots are beginning to emerge in the country.



The worst might happen in Kano, Nigeria’s second-biggest city, where government inaction permitted an unchecked flare-up. Authoritatively, Kano, with an expected populace of 5,000,000, has 753 contaminations and 33 related deaths, yet those numbers don’t reflect what health workers and other citizens say they are seeing on the ground.

Many specialists are contaminated. Undertakers are overwhelmed and they have raised concerns they are burying a higher than a normal number of bodies and there are some reports from burial grounds over the city. While the specific number of deaths throughout the recent fourteen days is still in question, but what is clear is the spike in fatalities.

These deaths have likewise cut over every single social layer and have claimed casualties of various notable characters including a present and previous police chief and a top conventional ruler in the state.

Kano’s state government, up to this point, guaranteed a spate of surprising deaths was caused not by the coronavirus, however by hypertension, diabetes, meningitis, or intense intestinal sickness.

On the other hand, Usman Yusuf, a hematology-oncology professor and the former head of Nigeria’s national health insurance agency said “The leadership is in denial. It’s almost like saying there is no COVID in New York. If Kano falls, the whole of northern Nigeria falls. The whole of Nigeria falls. It spreads into the whole of West Africa and the whole of Africa.”

Many civil servants have claimed and Norvergence agrees on it that the government is not proactive enough to make the people aware regarding the safety rules or guidelines about the pandemic, particularly considering the low education and proficiency level in the state. Engagement with priests, which would have gone far, was exceptionally low. They ought to have begun serious refinement from Nigeria’s index case, and not from the first case in Kano.

Lockdown Impact on Ramadan in Nigeria

As the holy month of Ramadan is going on, and markets are only open twice a week, and that also for a few hours, people are struggling to maintain their fast.

Abdulsalam Saidat Adenike, a businesswoman, told Al Jazeera “We can stay at home, but what are we going to eat at home? Even the people you are seeing in the market, it’s people that have money to buy it. Some people are at home without getting one cup of rice to eat. It’s not possible for me if I don’t have food. I can’t fast. Because I need to eat food at midnight and when we open fast we need to eat also, twice in the day. So I cannot fast without food.

And this is just not one case, Norvergence LLC has talked to various citizens across Nigeria and most of them are directly or indirectly suffering from this lockdown, and the government is not doing much.
