May God/Allah help these women.

Please empower you women through human breeding scheme by building Health Center for natal activities

I’d wanted to say instead of buying this car for one million Naira, why didn’t they have to build a Health Center in the village with the money. This will proffer the solution of having to transport pregnant women that far.

On a second thought, I feel after building the Clinic with the 1million Naira contributed.
how will they equip it?
How will they pay the medical personnel working in the clinic?
The same government that has failed in giving the community a health care center?

This is a perfect way of telling the government that the government has failed to remember the community. If the state governor is responsible, I expect this to move him and provide a health care clinic in the community straight away.

Is this 1m car?
