We might need more.

Only?
Roll out the naira mbok, we need money to fight this dreaded epidemic and not during campaign.

Tinubu e-dogs will still criticize this gesture by the FG. Maybe they'll say the N200 million should have been given in cash instead of electronically?

Ifeanyichukwu,you are a big disgrace and an embarrasment to the Jonathanians. Please learn from people like Mr. Ochejoseph who do not make a tomfoolery of himself on this forum. He is a more respected Jonathanian that you!

Only N200million? What about the balance? I thought he declared emergency so that aids and cash can be sent to the presidency. Instead of closing the borders, he wants us all to die....

Jona but why?

200m alone. So the government is just releasing money after the death of 5 people. If it was election campaign now, the money would have left the government account in minutes. This government is not sincere at all. I thought they budgeted 1.9bn, why 200m People are still planning to embezzle this money? We better release ebola patients into their homes.
