Official handle means official statement. People should learn how to take responsibility.

Message of that caliber is definitely from high officer, silence would have been golden.
Very true. Now they have tried to cover up incompetence with a greater incompetence.

Begging is better than stealing. No need to regret. Arrogance won't help us in this Corona era.


I really don't know what they are regretting. Other countries are begging for the same thing, even advanced countries so why is poor Nigeria making yanga? Are we better than America, Spain and others.

Poor people looking at death but still forming.

This government need to develop some back bone and stop letting these hateful elements bully them, they actually did nothing wrong.

Nigeria need 10,000 ventilators, already acquired 169 ventilators that are distributed to some states, and each cost about #10M-#19M, and there’re shortages around the world. So, they reached out to a billionaire who’s got some to ship out. If you asked me, I’d tell you this country Nigeria cares for her own.

the whole of Ibo land has just 4 ventilators and you have 40 million people, in case of emergency ventilators can not service more than one patient with collapsed lungs, the whole 4 is located in Ebonyi , so do you think the 4 ebonyi Ibos that would have access to the ventilators would be una laughing wailers and ordinary citizens abi?

Funny thing is everyone is criticizing the govt for asking for Ventilators. We've finally bullied them into deleting the tweet.
We've forgotten:
1. These ventilators are highly scarce, every country is searching to increase their stock.
2. Elon Musk made the offer first, saying simply, if you want it, ask me... I see nothing wrong with Min. Of Fin asking officially.
3. Nigeria wasn't the only country asking to be included in the free ventilators distribution. You have Ukraine, you have Spain, you have Chile, you have European countries asking too.
I have attached a screenshot of the days tweet on Elon Musk's page and also a link to his tweet.

Funny thing is that the same Nigerians trashing the govt for asking, are themselves asking Elon Musk to give to them to distribute in Nigeria �
Nigeria isn't perfect, and we have serious FLAWS BUT! Not everything is CRITICISM.

I'll ask you this... Even with all the billion billion DOLLARS, US still can't get enough ventilators. That should tell you something that "TO HELL WITH YOUR MONEY" This equipment is scarce, period. It's hardly available, countries are squabbling to get any ventilator they can lay their hands upon... It's not about Money.

bjnice:

What happened to the 25 Billions naira FG approved recently? Has it be utilized to the letter? Afterall, several billions of naira has roll in front corporate coys and private individuals. Are you aware that 100 ventilators @ $25,000 cost just 2.5 Millions dollars less than 1Billion. That is just one individual contribution towards the fight against Covid-19, so on what basis are will subjecting ourselves to a begging nation's when we are yet to account for the money contribute and approved which runs into billions of naira. This is highly unfortunate, the terrible part of it no one will be punished for this gross misconduct.

Not everything is politics now

Nigeria needs the ventilators so what was the issue.

They shouldn't have deleted that tweet, there are times to ignore

Other countries are also openly begging for the same thing so how come they are not losing their jobs?

Why should people lose their jobs for trying to save your life.?

You are not making any sense.

Nigerians wailing idiots would end up killing themselves with too much reaction on twitter

Donald trump made an appeal to the world on donation of Sanitizers and Ventilators he also offer to pay if need be, Spain government and Ukrainian government also begged[/b]

We should beg because Donald Trump begged, Spain and other countries did. When in the mist of this pandemic your rubber stamp lawmakers bought exotic cars worth millions of dollar. How many of them have given support to fight this virus? And you are here spewing trash. So, at your age you haven't come in contact with this thing called 'SENSE', at least for once?

honestly sense truly is not common in Nigeria so I rest my case after this.. ventilator cost $50,000 per one and requires months to make, people who have it are no longer willing to sell as everyone is scared they might need it, in Nigeria the fact is we don't have enough.. Elon Musk offered 500, to any country in need, ministry of finance contacted him on his post on twitter next thing foolish youths insulted the ministry and it was taking down, now who is at lost? health minister who can afford one with her status, or Nigerian youth who cant even get 100 km close to one...

I pray should anyone dies due to shortage of ventilators bought the government and those who stopped this donation request suffer the fate of the dying victim

You are yet to respond to me if an Imam,Ustaz or a Muslim organisation has made a donation towards this pandemic. At last you must have heard of Adeboye's ,Oyedepo's and the Dunamis pastor donation.Please dont mention Dangote or Rabiu Samad as they are both businessmen.

we don't loud our own donation by calling the press and renting praise singers
Re: COVID-19: We Regret Begging Elon Musk For Ventilators - FG by GEEBITE: 10:52am On Apr 03, 2020
Lol. Just like the pastors were not doing until you hypocrites forced them out against Christ injunction. I have known since 1993 how Oyedepo has been giving scholarships to indigent students of his hometown in kwara state.He has even built a world class university there creating hundreds of direct and thousands of indirect jobs.Or will you say it is the tithe of the poor people of Omu Aran that built the University too? Just tell me what and where your own Imam donated to,at least it won't violate any law as you guys give poor people money and cook for them openly.

That was a big error, you should have begged for money .No nation would give you ventilators now, it is a global crisis and every nation is fighting their own battles right now. They would rather give you money and relief materials. No nation is completely out of it and they would rather keep their caches of ventilators for the continous rainy days of COVID-19
