Some Lagosians have
provoked outrage on social media after they were spotted en masse working out
along Gbagada-Oshodi expressway, despite the lockdown and ban on large
gatherings in Lagos.
On Monday, the
internet was inundated with photos of a large gathering of people engaging in
various fitness exercises along the highway.
This was despite the
lockdown directives by the state government to curb the spread of COVID-19, the
infectious disease caused by coronavirus.
According to the
World Health Organisation, the killer disease can spread from person to person
through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are spread when a person
with COVID-19 coughs or exhales.
It also warned that
“it is important to stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from a person who is
sick.”
But these warnings
were, however, disregarded by some lawless citizens who turned the “Gbagada
road into a gym” while others were seen jogging and playing football.
The development has
since stirred outrage on Twitter where users are expressing their annoyance and
calling for the arrest and immediate isolation of all the parties involved.
“Understand this is
Gbagada Expressway today. Nigerians can’t obey simple instructions to stay
alive. By their disobedience, everyone is at risk. @jidesanwoolu you need to
have patrols all over the city enforcing the lockdown. Many ppl won’t comply
unless forced to,” a Twitter user said.
“I am baffled by
Nigerians. There is a crowd of people arraigning Funke and doing the same thing
she’s being arrested for. Oh, and they’ve turned Gbagada into a gym. We can’t
afford to have 1000 deaths a day. I don’t even know if this will make people
listen. I’m tired,” another user said.

Lock down Lagos, Gbagada style. I might have to start writing jokes, using Nigeria as an inspiration. #StayAtHome #SymplyTachaTheBrand pic.twitter.com/pTR03XmtRi— Republic of Tacha🔱 (@RepublicofTacha) April 6, 2020
My message to those who displayed that show of shame they called exercise on Gbagada road today.— Oloye Ayo Gbadebo (@holudaray) April 6, 2020
Nonsense and ingredients. pic.twitter.com/2oJosgdqtm
Saw videos from Funke’a trial this morning and then this whole Gbagada photos. Same way people in my estate will gather and be doing exercise and allow their kids to play in groups when we ought to be practicing social distancing? Mehn, we are not ready AT ALL in this country 🤦🏽— Moji Sensei Delano (@MojiDelanoBlog) April 6, 2020
So when will they arrest the Gbagada people?— Whale (@YorubaBoyMedia) April 6, 2020
If they extend the lockdown in Lagos please let us accept it like that, since people find it hard to adhere to simple instructions. Just look at somewhere I’m Gbagada 🙄🤦🏽♂️ pic.twitter.com/Ej0o14oq8w— Otunba ICE🩸 (@ManLikeIcey) April 6, 2020
This was Gbagada this morning! I thought LAGOS was on a lockdown #funkeakindelebello pic.twitter.com/vmJ0seKnWV— Olalekan × (@Laykerzpr) April 6, 2020
If Lagos is serious, Eti Osa and Gbagada need to be locked down PROPERLY for at least another 14 days.— 'Deji Asiru-Balogun (@WilDeji) April 6, 2020
Mass testing go make sense too
If you stay in Gbagada and you love yourself, stay in your house/father's house henceforth.— Uncle Khenie Oní T-shirt (@_iamkhenie) April 6, 2020
