This really shows how backwards we are in this country. We cant conduct an exercise in an orderly fashion. This would end up putting more lives at risk. If its not through infecting one another, there could be a stampede.

I remember last year, before elections, a certain political party wanted to share foodstuff and money to my villagers (for election purposes). Money was released from Abuja to the state governor, who now shared it among the local government chairmen, and then the councilors.

In my local government, the announced when each town will be visited and the venue where the items will be shared. In my village, it was the football field.

When the time came, everyone filed out; the councilor had the names of all the kindred and family members; EVERYONE was taken care of. Small bags of rice, oil, tin tomato ,beans, 5k.....everyone went back home smiling; this was done by both APC and PDP.

Fast forward to a year later, the politicians no longer know how to share relief items to the masses. There is chaos everywhere, people risking thier lives just to get a loaf of bread from broken down vehicles. Both northerners and southerners; Christians and Muslims, hunger doesn't care which one you are; hunger does not discriminate.

If the federal government is serious, let them share their relief packages, be it monetary of foodstuff by states. State governors will now share it according to local governments and then passed on to councilors. The federal government will now have a monitoring unit that will go round all the towns and villages to supervise and interview people to find out how the execution was.

If villagers know their councilor was given stuff for them and they didn't get their share, he would be held accountable. As it is now, if one doesn't get anything their share, they would only rant; the federal government isnt aware, and cant be confronted.

Corona-virus is still watching us from a distance; when it is ready for Nigerians, the way iyt would sweep us (God forbid), Ecuador's case would be child's play.
