If you check this write up out, you'd notice that the FG is either disconnected from the reality of the current situation or intentionally deceiving themselves and anyone that cares to believe them. I'd explain. https://twitter.com/BusinessDayNg/status/1275389684575805447

I'm a student and from my biased POV, schools are the only "effectively banned" institutions currently. So with other "unessential" institutions as religious centres currently opening up, isn't it "insensitive" too? Or isn't it posing the same transmission risk to "our children"?

It's cheap sophistry to attempt to insinuate that currently "transporters, food sellers, e.t.c" are not operating in full capacity, so this argument and maybe gaslighting tactics should be sat out.

Now, can you imagine that almost all private school teachers have not earned salary for the past 3/4 months and the FG's minister is only unexcitedly suggesting an uninteresting way out. Reality is what the elites in this country are disconnected from.

PS: I'm not an intrinsic advocate of say "herd immunity", I'm only being a realist and if that means that schools be allowed to reopen since other sectors are allowed, then so be it.
Then, this thread is not exclusively isolated to Oyo state alone, it's just a case study here.

I need to add this somewhere, so let's call it an addendum; Leadership is relatively about solving problems without creating any more problems.
That is, it would be controversial to say, considering the risk Crossriver and Kogi citizens...

face as a result of lack of central leadership (the kind the FG's minister is postured as exhibiting in this case); that reopening of schools is the relatively cataclysmic problem of the pandemic in Nigeria.
