_*"When people refuse to pay the price of personal responsibility for the problems of the nation, these same people end up paying the high price of irresponsibility, which is often in tragedy and sorrow*_- _Sunday Adelaja, a Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian of Nigeria origin and the founder of the Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations.

Before now, millions of people across Nigeria and other African Countries are starving and forced to live a life in the absence of basic amenities. They are dying every minute of curable diseases, they do not have food, clothes, and homes to live safe and healthy even though they are struggle on daily bases and a human government not animal ask this same people to sit at home for days if not weeks without any reasonable palliative measure in place to cushion the effect of this sit at home, simply because they hear other leaders asking their people to sit at home. This is a society which the greater percent of their citizens are survival on daily struggle. What a government we have in African. Ordinarily any right thinking person will be forced to ask if we are being ruled by animals or human beings. Who is formulating policy for these beasts.

So Dangote and the likes can donate such huge money to respond to emergency like this as if the coronavirus is worse than the extreme poverty and other diseases ravaging the continent for decades. It is interesting to know that their recent action is simply because the coronavirus seems like the virus for the rich. Because for decades, extreme poverty, deprivation and crises have been ravaging this continent and these are not natural occurrence but it is these same bourgeois whose societal concerns are the value of their property and the preservation of capital to ensure the perpetuation of their economic supremacy in society.

Don't get me wrong. We not an enemy of the so called rich but am a die hard opposition to exploitative tendencies and unjust policy especially when it affect the poor. Because before now, none of these recent philanthropist have deems it necessary to come together or join forces like this to see to the end of extreme poverty and diseases in Africa or take step to renovate primary and secondary schools in the country or build one of the state of the art hospitals across the 36 states in Nigeria, not even an industry for our teaming youth but they are now gathering in numbers, raising billions to curtail the spread of the deadly virus simply because it affects them. Very selfish deadly merchants.

To them, the poor are lazy and their wealth is as result of their own innovation and hard work, but unfortunate we know the source of so called wealth. They are the cause of the poverty in Africa. They sabotaged every sound policy of the government for their selfish agenda. They wouldn't mind starving entire community or throwing entire nation into war thru their wicked and exploitative policies backed by their cronies in the government and outside the shores of Africa to hold unto power or remain on top economically.

In your ignorance and wickedness, you ask Nigerians to sit at home, without asking them how they will feed themselves and their families simply because you have looted more than enough to squander. You locked down the state and close down markets, with price of basic goods skyrocketing and you sit down in your comfort houses without minding the resultant effect of your stupid policy. Check your senses.

Is important we remind you all of the adage that says "A child who will not let his mother sleep will also have no peace." As a government, your primary responsibility is the welfare of your people. Nigerians are not asking you to feed them but all they are asking is just a space to struggle on their own.

While other leaders across the world are busy scrambling for right policy to cushion the effect of the lock down, sanitizing their environment and building new facilities for quick medical test for the coronavirus, all our governors can do is shut down their close their market meant for the poor masses and shut their borders and go to sleep. A complete show of lack of idea and reflection of gross ineptitude on the side our rulers. African leadership from president to counsellor is a disgrace to humanity.

To all the ministers and the looters of our common wealth, may you never escape this deadly virus. May your stinking body be taking to that very hospital you failed to equip. May you find no space to be admitted in that hospital you refuse to build and may that your useless stolen wealth refuse to save you from this deadly virus.

To the western countries who made sure they crippled the development of Africa, we pray that their economy cripple to zero as a result of the devastation from the coronavirus. May the anger of God be upon their leaders involve in the wicked policy against the growth and development of Africa.

To our rulers, is time to learn and rethink your actions against the poor masses. In the face of current events in the global community, Africa Nations and Nigeria in particular cannot afford to lag-behind in addressing the issue of this deadly disease called coronavirus.

But what do we see here in Africa, a government that presents to her people the option of being killed by the coronavirus or starvation. An insensitive and mayopic administractive with their stupid policies that impoverish the poor the more. I pray the anger of God never depart from your household.

As Nigeria wait patiently to hear their president address them, and one wonder what they expect to hear from a government that is proud to give their citizens less than $28 as start up.

Finally, like other numerous failed policy of our governments, this sit at home will still fail because real men will prefer to risk contacting the virus than sit at home and watch his family languish in starvation.

Proud to be an African but ashamed to have these idiots dictate my living.
