Mazi Ikechukwu Okoronkwo urge Federal Government of Nigeria through both Ministry of youth and sports,NCDC and Presidential task force COVID 19 to see it as cogent reason to lift the ban on Sporting activities in Nigeria now to check youth restiveness and Crime.
I was reliable informed that federal government through Sports commission paid N50.000 to some of youth that was at National camp(last preparation but was decamped) for 2020 Japan Olympics which was postponed due to COVID 19 after much negotiation with Japan.in as much as I commend the FGN for payment of N50.000 palliatives to those National Athletes,I wish also to remind the Commission that those athletes have lost more than the money paid considering that N50.000 is suppose to be one day allowances for each athletes at foreign training tour had it being things went as planned, therefore the effect of lock down could not be cushion by payment of N50.000 to those elite athletes not to talk of sports men and women who have not received any palliatives.
In this Circumstance where its seem that the Government could not fund every sports man and woman expenditure at lockdown,the aim of Government for security of life of its citizens will be defeated because it will not be reasonable and right for any able youth to die in a sick bed or lockdown bed without food,rather those youth could decide the option of the risk to die on the battlefield or struggling street.
With the above reasons and other reasons withheld for security reasons, I would advise all the concern agent to reopen all the sporting activities including Schools even Churches because Nigerians have made up thier minds they had overcome COVID19 and there is no other option left for Government rather than to lift the ban for social gathering.
Without Government lifting the ban the whole aim of Government of the people,for the people and by the people will be defeated which might generate dangerous insecurity and treat to our Unity as A nation.
It is worthy to note that all those agencies who said that COVID19 has not cure has Shown thier in abilities to defend thier profession in the area of research and provision of treatment.
Therefore it will not be correct for Their agencies to create forum that is used to lockdown every body down indefinitely whereas the solution is not in the lockdown rather treatment.
People have no more confident in those agencies again rather many people are seeking God and Herb or Combination therapy at last hope as far as they are alife and business must begin.Therefore Nigeria Government should take the honour of thier effort for past weeks and migrate to other moderate decision of opening up all our internal business which will help Nigeria Government to start to pick all the broken economy
