it's obvious that there is great bias in Nigeria between regions
There is no federal character or balance.

Remember EDUCATION LESS ADVANTAGED, remember having 246 in UTME and not getting Pharmacy in Ekiti but your mate in Yobe with 198 got in for pharmacy in BUK?

Remember you've been applying to be on the bench with your sterling qualifications but they said no vacancy yet someone who's your far junior who sat thrice for the bar finals with no experience or further reading is now on the bench warming up for CA and SC?

Remember you have been loitering the federal civil service looking for work but all you hear there is Hausa and Yoruba and small Igbo, Igalla, and Efik and them telling you an Etsako, Isoko or Jukun man that there is no space?

But it also shows that when people are not spoon fed they become great thinkers, more industrious, more critical thinkers and general hustlers (but sadly it also increases crime).

Those who are given 2 packets of indomie, or one cup of rice, or 2 cups of white beans with no money or nothing at all how do you expect them to function equally with another region who is being given 40k per household, father and mother, with bag of rice, millet and other things?

These same people give birth without control or planning and end up pushing their responsibilities to government (I must confess this also happens in one particular state in the south). But this is the order of the day in Kano, Katsina, Kaduna the kkk states and Jigawa, Borno, Sokoto, Zamfara and even Bauchi.

If the minister goes to her region and sees a man with 4 wives and 26 children, she will be moved to give them more like what has happened in Katsina.

But if she goes to Lagos, or Enugu or Ondo and sees a hardworking self employed man and his one wife with phd who is managing job in a private owned college of education way below her capacity, with just 2 brilliant children they are managing to give the best in health, education and all who are wandering the streets or forcefully UNcleaning windscreens in traffic, the minister will pass them by that they don't need because they are just 4 humans and one even has salaried work even where the private owned salary work has told them no pay this period as there is no work!

they accomplished their mission, gradually they lost their usefulness as miscreants took over.

We are talking about Covid19 right now and all some people are bothered about is religion. Isn't it only a living person that prays. Nigeria has a fundamental problem and we the youths keep fuelling it.

DonMustafa:
How about someone like Akinwumi Adesina? Must nepotism be number 1 in Nigeria?

Dr Akinwumi Adesina is a proven administrator. He would do better than all those people listed up there

Since we are listing profiles here, let me drop the profile of Akinwumi Adesina for those who do not know

* Akinwumi Adesina is the President of the African Development Bank

* He was Vice President of Policy and Partnerships for the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA)

* He attended a village school in Oyo and went ahead to graduate with a Bachelors in Agricultural Economics with First Class Honors from the University of Ife, Nigeria (1981) (Note: A first class from OAU is no joke)

* He was the first student to be awarded this a first class in that department in OAU

* He has his masters from Purdue University in Indiana

* He has a PhD (Agricultural Economics) in 1988 from Purdue where he won the Outstanding PhD Thesis for his research work.

* He worked at the Rockefeller Foundation since winning a fellowship from the Foundation as a senior scientist

* His short time as Minister of Agriculture in Nigeria created the agricultural revolution we are enjoying today.

* He is the current President of the African Development Bank

I am tired of typing.

I am not a fan of confusion but I think Nigerians deserve an apology for this. This same government have been ruthless with the stay at-home stuff, shutting down every stuff across their path that may lead to convergence of individual, some were lucky to be taken to court, why the unlucky ones were shot dead by men on uniform. Nobody should be immune or above the law, Social distancing should be for all.

God bless Nigeria.

Saifulah:
This is for those claiming he had died before yesterday. It is forbidden in Islam to keep the dead unburried.

In the state house statement, it said funeral arrangements will be announced. That will definitely be today but most likely low key burial.

If he dies, are we then immortal? hope for a good ending yourself rather than musing on that of others.

iCauseTrouble:
The only thing I have enjoyed from the government during this lockdown is steady power supply. The epileptic power supply in my area suddenly became stable. Now we have light 24 hours a day.
This has made me believe that power problem is not actually a problem in Nigeria just that the government doesn't want to work.

Mistaicey2288:
SMH! Useless administration. So na to dey randomly hand-pick those who will benefit from the nonsense 2 months power supply too same way they do with the audio 20k they're sharing around following useless registers... What happened to equal rights for citizens? Are the comfortable people not also affected by the ongoing lockdown? Are they not facing financial crisis too presently?

Even the 2 months electricity, once they begin the implementation, watch how epileptic the power supply will get... I bet it will be really worse that even the beneficiaries will get very little to use during the 2 months. Nothing is free in Naija under this useless administration.. The earlier everyone realizes that, the better for them.

amaniro:
I swear. Imagine if you have more than 5k you won't get cash transfer ...only if they knew how small 5k is.

CoronaVirusPro:
The moment Chelsea FC signed this guy, I knew he had nothing to offer. A player that could not score a single goal throughout the season when he was in Miami Heats. They could have just Tiger Woods or Bill Gates in worst case scenario as they are more agile and multipurpose swimmers in the flanks.

It's all good, the did has been done. The World Health Organisation should order the commencement of the English Premier League and save us from this boredom.

lalasticlala:
There have been several reports of unrest, robberies in Lagos during the lockdown.

Many of the robbers and those causing the unrest in Agege and other parts of Lagos have been caught.

A Twitter user, @Mumbeauty1 shared a video of so many of the robbers arrested by police in Lagos.
