As much as it won't be a surprise to most people, to say I'm disappointed with this government will be an understatement. What happened to the stadiums in Lagos or the state schools, T.B.S OR, what even happened to the buildings in ikoyi where the Federal Secretariat used to be before it was moved to the F.C.T that is just laying fallow there? With all the money the Federal government has received so far on behalf of combating the Covid-19, If there are no ulterior motives regarding the use of the funds, why not use the funds to rehabilitate and create isolation centers in this places? Nigeria why now? Why? Come, aren't there people up there in the villa that read through comments here on Nairaland?
Oh, there really was a country called Nigeria.
