The essence of the total lockdown “ordered” in most states, especially Lagos and Abuja – Governor Dapo Abiodun has negotiated Friday as commencement day in Ogun State – by President Muhammadu Buhari is to stop interactions in a bid to prevent the widespread infection of the global threat know as Coronavirus.

“Stopping interactions enable the government to get a better handle on tracing infected individuals and tracking suspected cases as the symptoms manifest with the citizens secluded from one another by staying Indoors, in their homes” societynow.ng learned.

Emerging details revealed that this is not the situation at hand.

” Rather a lot of people are toying with their life and wishing death on others based on the havoc the spread of Coronavirus has wrecked on people, in countries like Italy and America, that adopted similar approach to the virus at the early stages” Tosin, a source pointed out.

Societynow.ng gathered that many in the lockdown States, particularly Lagos opt to engage in recreational activities on deserted streets.

“You find most of them playing football and many turned supporters of the players hailing and back-slapping and generally mingling” societynow.ng learned.

This naturally makes nonsense of the effort to enforce social distancing in the bid to curb the spread of Coronavirus.

There are also those who have transformed the streets and highways devoid of traffic to keep fit zones with intermittent long and short walks and light exercises.

” They naturally come into contact with others along the way, another move that invalidates the forced sit at home initiative’ Ibukun resident of Lagos pointed out.

“There are also the particularly reckless people who wait till the evening after those enforcing restriction of movements have lowered their guard to throng hurriedly opened bars and other leisure places to engage in all shades of fun, hugging, backslapping and generally doing everything the sit at home is meant to prevent in the fight against Coronavirus” societynow.ng learned.

“Both the bar owners and the fun-seekers and any other business owner not on the essential list are acting irresponsibly and putting all of us at risk because the Coronavirus status of everybody at any place, at any point in time is suspect with the increasing numbers of established cases announced every day” Tosin stated.

The checks made by societynow.ng revealed that it is the same carefree attitude that created massive health problem that is drowning Italy and threatening to demystify the United States of America as a “superpower” in the handling of Coronavirus that is manifesting in the actions of the no-movement order “offenders” in Lagos State and other places.

” They are toying with their lives and wishing death on us, just like the people that put Italy and America in trouble over Coronavirus did” Charles Oyelesi societynow.ng’s writer stated.

Societynow.ng’s checks revealed the offenders are virtually in all residential areas and enforcers of the stay at home order only need to be more firm – and civil – in ensuring compliance in the fierce fight against Coronavirus for the nation to have a fair chance of winning with a very limited casualty.
