Oga it is their right..according to the International covenant of economic social and cultural right which nigeria is a party to, the right to food is mandatory and cannot be derogated. Also note that the right to food does not end at access to food only cos you might argue that since shops selling foods are open for some duration then the right has not been violation but this right also extends to the means of getting the food and since businesses are close which is one of the major means a citizen use to get funds in purchasing food and the fact that many Nigeria survival on daily works without having opportunity to much savings then we can bold say since such funds will be unavailable at this moment then their right to food has been violated and the government in remedying this are suppose to put in place proper palliatives to curb this situation. My article on this will be published today

You continue deceiving yourself and confusing the masses. Government help/palliative cannot get to those that really need it because of indiscipline and greediness of Nigerians. Who are the daily pay earners? These are people like: meruwa( water hawkers), sobata(shoe menders) etc, not Dando drivers, not small business owners, not govt workers etc, but these people will still compete and even hijack the sharing of the foodstuffs. Sharing of foodstuffs as palliative cannot work in Nigeria because: in the first place we don't know the number of people to be given food, secondly we are only deceiving ourselves if we think we are organised as a people.

Government made a mistake of attempting giving Nigerians foodstuffs. Nigeria is not Switzerland or any of these well organised European countries that different houses know the number of people living in houses next to them. Government of those countries know exactly number of people on each street, how many foodstuffs government is going to buy for over 20m people in Lagos State?, since everyone is connected to a working class citizen one way or the other, government should have mandated every company either small and large companies to pay off their staff before the lockdown and encourage/persuade the paid working class to help their relatives in one way or the other.

This man get sense

where is the sense here? Czec he wants to imitate are equally implementing stay home, but wear mask if you must go out. By the time explosion of the disease happen in oyo, this guy will not take responsibility. He has been issuing populist comments right from campaign time up till now without having ideas how to move the state forward. This guy will end up as the worst governor Oyo State ever had

Hi Nairalanders,

My names are Nice Micheal,

I am sharing my ordeal currently facing with STANBIC IBTC Bank.

I opened my salary bank account since February 2020, but due to the nature of my job which did not allow me to have access to apply for my bank card (ATM CARD). i think if a bank account is opened, automatically a bank card is issued along with it as guided by the CBN rules.

I had tried every means and wasted more than #500 airtime to contact ALL STANBIC CUSTOMER CARE LINES and even their EMAILS which they have not respond since yesterday. STANBIC CUSTOMER CARE LINES.

I tried their *909# which my account number always show up to transfer funds to friends and families to be able to cash out funds via Local POS Vendors around my locality in Ancient home Lekki, Lagos. But this USSD service of *909# which am about to always finish transfer will give me an automatic response or feedback that CUSTOMER HAS NO PROFILE.

This is what we as a Nigerian are always fighting daily, instead of employing the right people to intelligent places in work environments, Na to put OGA AT THE TOP sons and daughters with ZERO IQ to help the business to move on positively.

Please, someone should help me with the CBN email to escalate this poor service by STANBIC IBTC, if possible they go back to the PENSION SCHEME which Nigerians know them for.

Please, NAIRALANDERS , COME TO MY RESCUE OOOOOOOO. MY LANDLADY WILL KICK ME OUT OF MY RENTED APARTMENT TODAY.

SEUN, PLEASE HELP ME TO PUBLISH THIS TO STANBIC PUBLIC RELATION OFFICERS TO RESCUE ME OUT OF MY ORDEAL.

GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR MODS AND OTHERS THAT CAN HELP.

STANBIC IBTC can call me to my alternative mobile line - 08028125905 because 9mobile which has no or poorest network service is Ancient Home of Lekki is not helping too. I have to go very far near a 9Mobile mast to receive 3 Bars to be able to call and receive daily SMS.

STANBIC REFERENCE NUMBER NUMBER EMAIL ATTACHMENT HERE.

Try to be more structured and stop being rude at banks or people. If you had been more relaxed you would have known why your ATM card is not ready.

Malawian:
You put on the generators there remotely?

Those are sites not service. You dont expect all sites to be up in a situation like this

thatigboman:
u are the one not making sense. If telecom service is down, wount their staff go there physically and rectify the problem?
More than 50 doctors have died in Italy, mind you

It will be very difficult for service to be down, only couple of sites and that can be recovered at anytime. You dont even expect 100% uptime during this period.
so because 50 doctors died in italy, it wont be out place if some bankers too die in Nigeria? Banking is luxury not essential in this dispensation.

santori:
if everyone stayed back at home how will you be able to make calls, receive calls and browse the internet, Abi are the doctors nurses and other hospital workers are not human beings , make we dey use our senses small small

You no make sense at all, don't venture into areas you stark illiterate about. Telecommunications operations are done remotely, they don't need to be on site. Doctors know exactly what to do and can take care of themselves

Unfortunately, opportunists at the head of one ministry or the other are so irresponsible and clueless about what is happening around the world, so the bankers are immuned to the coronavirus or their lives are not as important as the president's family that are fenced from interacting with other populace?

Envy+covetousness

Nigeria will become the next Zimbabwe if Tinubu advice is followed

No, your understanding of Tinubu's advice is too elementary. Zimbabwe you are referencing has absolutely nothing to support their economy after the white farmers have been chased away, infact they were alienated by the west. Tinubu is only borrowing America's idea before it is too late when we will start saying had we known bla bla very soon. If America is doing it, why can't Nigeria do it? Who is Yinka odumakin to be discussing parameters of economics and world economy?

Yinka odumakin doesn't have the capacity to respond to Tinubu's view and advice to the federal government. This is not elementary economics of mere demand and supply.

At a time the whole world and by extension, Nigeria is focused on how to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic, Pastor Tunde Bakare’s focus is on 2023 presidency.
Preaching his sermon on Sunday, 22 March, as reported by the PUNCH, Pastor Tunde Bakare again veered off his subject matter into political talks.
Since he publicly said that God told him that he was going to be the next Nigeria’s president in 2023, Bakare always laced his sermons with political jabs. Last Sunday’s was not an exception.
In what seems to be his obsession with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who he has been indirectly trying to upstage, Bakare, last Sunday, made allusions to a supposed rift between President Buhari and his V.P.
He asked the president to speak up: “It is my considered opinion that all the rumour mills and things going around the Vice-President in this nation, the government must address this country and tell the plain truth about what is going on, instead of letting people continue to make guesses that are unprofitable for our nation or anybody ”
He also went on to question Osinbajo’s role in the formation of the APC.
Hear him:” I am not sure Osinbajo was a party man. I am not sure he was there when the APC was being formed. I moved the motion for the merger of the CPC and the ACN at the Eagle Square. He was nowhere around there that day. In fact, l can tell you that he went to the Supreme Court to argue a case on that day when they were looking for him”, he was quoted by the PUNCH.
To many discernable observers, the question that readily comes to mind is – “So, in spite of the near state of emergency in the country over the Coronavirus pandemic, Pastor Bakare’s focus is on Osinbajo?”
It appears his obsession to become the president after Buhari has taken the better part of him. From his calculations, he wants Osinbajo out of the way, so that he can be the V.P and therefore, stand a good chance of becoming the president in 2023.
It is ironic that a pastor who claimed that God told him he would be the 16th president after President Buhari, can be this desperate and manipulative.
How can a so-called man of God harbour so much envy against his brother, a fellow pastor, yet, he would use the scriptures and the name of God to manipulate and bamboozle his followers?
Even his lie that Osinbajo was not part of the formation of APC cannot fly as Osinbajo was not only fully involved but was also part of those who drafted the manifesto of the party. So, how can a non-party member like Bakare speak authoritatively about the formation of a political party, apart from him moving the motion on behalf of the CPC for a merger with ACN?
Here was a man who said then that he couldn’t join the APC because he couldn’t be in the same party with Tinubu who he has repeatedly accused of being “corrupt”. Meanwhile, it is the same party where Tinubu is the National leader that he wants to use as a ladder for his phantom presidency.
It is really a shame that at this critical time of Coronavirus pandemic when all hands should be on deck, that Pastor Bakare should be firing political shots due to his obsession with 2023 presidency.
There was a major explosion in Lagos a week ago which claimed several lives and rendered many homeless, we didn’t hear his voice. Coronavirus stealthily entered our shores, we didn’t hear his voice but only his shots at the Vice-President, with the intent of upstaging him. That is unchristian-like.

Governor Sanwoolu of Lagos always showing them directions.
It was him that first said Lagos civil servants of levels 1-12 to stay back home, it was him that first started fumigation of public places in Lagos. FG all few state govts exactly copy and paste.

Nigerians greediness is beyond measure, a plot that is less than standard government Sqm area going for 30m in that rural area? Haba, even grade A GRA estate with a much bigger Sqm area is little above that price.

GeorgeTheCoder:
These people have no sense.

The government should not reduce the petrol price. Instead it should keep the unexpected profits and channel it into any of the critical areas like power, health, education or the fight against Boko Haram.

Why is this APC government so useless ?

Who will account for the excess? There will be many leakages

Too late, balless Nigeria taking cue from South Africa

Daddy GO should stop saying you can shake hand with one or two people beside you.

Davash222:
Only a fool would believe Yahaya is 44... same fool also believes Buhari is 78... Same fool still believe Buhari will hand over to a Yoruba man.

You would have made much sense without commenting on Buhari. Buhari suffered serious sickness at old age, that's what knocked him down and made him looks older and fragile.

Baba should be more sensitive to people's lives by stop saying " You may shake hand with or two people by your side and prophesy into their lives ....."

oz4real83:
u are deceiving yourself. It is the norm that the governor of every state holds the party structure but Oshiomole wants it otherwise in Edo state all because Tinubu did the same in Lagos state. If Yahaya Bello deserved 2nd term despite obvious failure, then Obaseki deserves second term far more than Yahaya Bello, oshiomhole is using different yardstick for everybody which is wrong.

But obaseki seems to me too rude, ingratitude and undiplomatic in handling the issues with Oshiomhole which is different to how Yaya Bello handled issues with party leadership in his state and at the national level

First time in history the man will talk fact, but sowore is not from Kwara

Ambitionvirus 2023 = Tunde Bakare/elrufai

truthfulparrot:
Gsnduje in his blind Fury and hatred destroyed the legacy of Kano Empire by breaking down the Kano Emirate to smaller pieces
The fact is that Sanusi was no longer interested in being the Emir of Kano under Kano local government. Gsnduje foolishly thought he can humilate Sanusi with banishment and house arrest.
Sunusi is now like a roaring lion that is out of the cage. This is just the beginning!!

Oga, Sanusi remains destroyed forever culturally and heritage wise, the highest ambition of a fortunate northerner is becoming Emir or sultan even above the ambition of becoming the president of Nigeria. For example, elrufai is 60+ while Sanusi is 58, elrufai is a State governor and he is bowing down to greet Sanusi...think. Sanusi will remain forever sad

Bakare, the boi boi, can do anything because of power...spit

30 mins is enough time for the fire to do damage.N y can't I see men in uniform in any video/pics on line

They arrived in less than 20 mins, do you expect them to be living in each house so that they can appear in less than 1 min of fire occurrence? Typical Nigerian forming American

bionixs:
these are some of the comments we see as a result of glo's 5gb for N200

No, Na true talk. Idiotic jihadist Sanusi showed no respect to whatever the idiotic multi- marriage pastor was spewing
