In the last few days, Nigerians have discovered various warehouses where the COVID19 palliatives donated by CACOVID were stored and went ahead to loot them. The palliatives comprising of food items were stored in the warehouses and were supposed to be distributed to the less privileged Nigerians.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Sadiya Umar Farouq, is now seen as “a hero of sorts” as people paid tribute to her on social media. Her ministry had at the height of the coronavirus pandemic said it had distributed assorted food items to states for onward distribution to the most vulnerable population but the claim was rebuffed by many saying they did not benefit from the gesture.
There no time were governors of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) asked to await any further directive before distributing the palliatives given to them by the federal government to cushion the effect of the COVID- 19, credible sources have told Daily Trust
Only pigs won't believe these true words, Instead of them to hold their Local Government Chairmen, Councilors, Representatives, Senators and Governors accountable for what ever misery is going on in their life. They will come online shouting Buhari Buhari, even for the filled up drainages in their villages and for the broken tables in their local markets! Watch many of them commenting on the thread by reading the headlines alone, lazy mofos.
The same people shouting that Buhari never did anything whatsoever, throughout this pandemic, Buhari Never gave any palliatives to Nigerians are the same ones now so amazed seeing how much foods the politicans closest to them hid in their homes and warehouses all over the nation after being distributed from Abuja to every states in Nigeria. And there are still many more that are even yet to be discovered. Nigerians are simply the enemies of themselves. #IStandWithZahra
: After the president has done his part, every other person should do their part as well. You can't blame him for your failure to do your own part. Let's call a spade a spade. The common man is even more wicked than the politician that they are blaming. See how they are busy Looting private warehouses True... so true.
OfficialAwol: You know I was thinking it's only dead goats and vultures that grills, but the event of the past few days where all of you have been looking for dead bodies is making me think he also grills corpses
mynd44, is this kind of rubbish now allowed in your forum?
The Southwest Governors and Ministers also visited the Lagos State DNA & Forensic Centre, One of the best facilities of the State, Country and Continent of Africa.
So the animals also destroyed this Center also? It will never eve be well with anyone involved in destroying this place. They and the animal who claimed he sent them. Hell is their portion.
Incognito403: Dear police, you have absolutely no blame in this mess.
It's the PEACEFUL PROTESTERS that defied government orders, empowered looters and even went online to spread propaganda. They're the ones responsibile for all this mess.
From runtown to DJ switch, they should all be charged to court for disturbing public peace and inciting anarchy.
I just discovered this rare video of the true story behind the Lekki shooting. It's 100% propaganda.
Eastlink: Hope you people can see your fellow tout. Doing same thing as your boss Kanu. If I was the federal government, I’ll secretly use the DSS to abduct both this Grandson fool and animal Kanu. Bring them to Kirikiri prison and put them in the same cell. Each day, both will be allowed to fight themselves as their sentence. Non will kill each other but will fight for 3 good years until they receive sense.
We’ll make sure they bleed with their own blood the battle they want to inflict on the generality of their tribesmen.
I am 100% in support of this. Both are lunatics. Just that one madness has been with him for many years now with no cure While the other one just got his madness newly.
zudozz: I hear say Plasma wey they dey sell 800k looter dey sell am 7000 naira like this for island..
Are you serious? Both the seller and the buyer will end up in jail.
alezzy13: And the saddest part is that these can't claim they're driven by hunger, considering how reasonably okay they look. Its just that ingrained urge to take what doesn't belong to them
For instance take a look at those being paraded, including that woman wey open mouth like vulture, will they claim it was hunger that drove to start stealing fridges, plastic chairs and TVs?
Hahahaha Lol@Mouth Like Vulture You mean dis one below abi?

Kudos to the mothers that chased their kids back with the loots they looted from private businesses in my area. They told them to drop it at the bus stop where soldiers were, If they cannot take it back to where they stole it from. Wish all mothers in Naija are like that. And thank God I was there to reorientate the youths of my immediate community. And let them see the main reason of this protest and let them know the DO's and DONT's! Wish most Nairaland members are like me.

Mercisharelove: Psalms 45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. AMEN
Get ready to accept and help out my people. This is my passion and I wouldn't mind parting with anything to bring this dream to fruition. Prayers is needed and I want more souls to join us as we celebrate the invisible eye who sees all wether in the light or darkest secrets.
Mercisharelove: Where are the men to marry ask your society.... Where are the men for the young virgins??
Oh, world of the sons of men you have corrupted yourselves with the sins of vanity, when would you realise that sin is a certain reproach, when will you come out from your slavery simple minded ones?
Marriage is, and will be much difficult in this last days, but I will advise if you couldn't marry stay single and fight to control yourself first before thinking of controlling another human being..
The thing is, you are not able to rule your stupid body, you dive into marriage for the gram, I am not mocking you, but you need to know that knowledge is power. Hallelujah...
I am not preaching, I am teaching the society, hope the message is understood and welcomed. Cheers.
Mother's, when you listen to the replies of men here on Nairaland, you will agree with us that the men of understanding is scarce and rarely. What's this talk of smoking trash??
Because that's what they believe in. Cracking their heads with what they are oblivious of.
Lord Jesus Christ please guide your daughter's and your Holy cities.
chrisxxx: A STATE-WIDE BROADCAST REINFORCING THE PROSCRIPTION OF IPOB IN RIVERS STATE
BY GOVERNOR NYESOM WIKE, CON, GSSRS, POS 23rd OCTOBER 2020.
My Dear Good People of Rivers State,
2. The Rivers State Government views with serious concern the unending destructive activities of the outlawed Indigenous Peoples Organization of Biafra (IPOB) in Rivers State.
3. Recall that the IPOB was classified as a terrorist organization by the Federal High Court and subsequently proscribed in September 2017 by the Federal Government.
4. However, despite its ban, the group has continued to operate in parts of the country, including Rivers State in furtherance of its alien political objectives.
5. Since its proscription, the group has carried out intermittent processions in parts of Rivers State, especially in Oyigbo and some notorious suburbs in Port Harcourt Local Government Areas.
6. More often than not, these illegal processions have become regular occasions for armed IPOB members to disturb the peace of the State by unleashing violence and destruction on lives and property at will.
7. The Rivers State Government had severally pleaded, warned and even advised IPOB and its members to discontinue its insurrectional actions in Rivers State to no avail.
8. Instead, we were all witnesses to yet, another orgy of violence and destruction inflicted by IPOB at Oyigbo Local Government Area and some parts of Port Harcourt City Local Government Area on Tuesday 21st October 2020.
9. This evil, wicked and audacious action resulted in the unnecessary loss of scores of lives, including soldiers and police officers, and the destruction of both public and private properties, including police stations, court buildings and business premises.
10. Not done, they also visited physical violence on members of some targeted community which, but, for the quick intervention of the State Government and the security agencies, would have resulted in some form of internecine bloodbath in the State.
11. Today, IPOB continued with its devilish and destructive activities at Rumukwurushi, Iriebe and Oyigbo in open defiance of the State Government’s curfew on human movements.
12. Security intelligence and surveillance have revealed that IPOB has continued to expand its membership drive, holding meetings regularly, and expanding its logistical base, including the maintenance of illegal detention cells in Emenike and other parts of Diobu, Port Harcourt.
13. As a matter of fact, Oyigbo town has practically become the group’s main operational base in Rivers State, from which they’ve become notorious for launching premeditated violence and terror on the State, businesses and innocent citizens.
14. As a people, we have become very much unsettled by the terrorist acts and endured the continuing irritations, violence, destruction and provocations of IPOB in and against the people of Rivers State.
15. We agree that Rivers State is part of Nigeria and has always been a home for all Nigerians and will continue to be because this is our true character.
16. But it must also be understood that Rivers State belongs to the indigenous people of Rivers State.
17. As a stranger element with strange political ideology therefore, IPOB has no legal or moral right to invade Rivers State or any part therefore at its behest; to disturb public peace; and subject lives and property to violence or threat of destruction under any guise.
18. What is clear from this behaviour is that our love, accommodation and hospitality towards all are being mistaken for weakness by the banned IPOB.
19. This being so, the time has come for us to sound this notice of warning that: enough is enough!!! We can no longer tolerate this IPOB evil monster in Rivers State. Never.
20. As a Government, we owe our people and all residents the responsibility to protect their lives, property and wellbeing and to prevent trouble-makers of all shades and character from violating our collective peace, security and pursuit of happiness.
21. Therefore, in view of the fact that IPOB has since been proscribed throughout Nigeria; and
22. Having come to the firm conclusion that the activities of the banned IPOB are not just dangerous to lives and property but also constitute clear and present threat to the existential interest and aspirations of Rivers State and all our people;
23. We have decided to reinforce, implement and enforce the existing judicial and national ban on IPOB by putting a total and complete stop to its presence and or activities in Rivers State or any part thereof.
24. Accordingly, as from today 23rd October 2020, the Rivers State Government has:
[ ] (ii) Outlawed IPOB from existing and or operating in Rivers State or any part thereof in line with the proscription order of the Federal High Court and the Federal Government.
(ii) No form of procession and or agitation by IPOB or any of its affiliates is allowed to take place in Rivers State or any part thereof, hence forth.
(iii) Security agencies are hereby directed to stop any form of procession or agitation by IPOB in Rivers State or any part thereof and arrest and prosecute any person or group that identifies with the membership or activities of IPOB in the State;
(iv) Government will issue an executive order to strengthen and ensure the effective enforcement of these measures;
(v) I will be meeting with all leaders of youth groups and community development committees in the State on Monday 26th October 2020 to take wholistic measures to counter and stop all IPOB activities in Rivers State;
(vi) Mr. Stanley Mgbere from Onne is hereby declared wanted for leading members of the banned IPOB to cause the recent violence and destruction of lives and property in Onne in Eleme Local Government Area; and
(vii) A ransom of N50,000,000.00 will be given to any person with useful information that would lead to the arrest and prosecution of the said Mr. Stanley Mgbere.
25. I wish to appeal to the people of Oyigbo Local Government Area to remain calm and not to take the laws into their hands despite the intense provocation as government has the capacity to deal with the challenge and ensure the safety of lives and property in the Local Government Area.
26. We will soon carry out on the spot inspection and assessment of the destruction they have suffered and take appropriate measures to mitigate the loss and damage caused to lives and property.
27. We hereby express our sympathies to the families of all those that have either lost their loved ones or suffered damages to their properties from the destructive acts of IPOB in our State.
28. Be assured that they have not died in vain and we will do everything within our powers to give all the victims justice.
29. We appeal to leaders of the various ethnic groups residents in the State to ensure that their members respect the sensibilities of our people and refrain from provocations and acts of hooliganism that could breach peace and security in the State.
30. Finally, I wish to assure all Nigerians that Rivers State will continue to be the home for all tribes as we will not shirk in our responsibility to ensure the peace, security and happiness of all residents in Rivers State.
31. We cannot allow IPOB miscreants and other misguided similar groups to threaten our collective peace, security and wellbeing under whatever guise.
32. Thank you and may God continue to bless Rivers State.
Danzakidakura: This is evil , why only Christians area in southern kaduna that he imposed coffew what of kaduna north ? Why not Rigasa and tudun wada. Devilish man You will die for your hate against Christians.
See what religion issue has turned you to suddenly. Better take life easy for your own good.
SilverNorGold: I support you, Senator Rochas.. I hope our leaders, like Dino Melaye, read this and put it into practice.
All our leaders should emulate President Mohammadu Buhari, who is not only honest and disciplined, but frugal and judicious with the way he manages our scarce resources to perform wonders in the areas of infrastructure, agriculture, human resources, and other aspects of our economy, despite inheriting peanuts from the previous extravagant administration.
Trust me, if all our leaders could sincerely and meekly toe the line President Mohammadu Buhari toed, Nigeria would become the epicenter of progress...
We the citizens too should emulate the President. Honesty, discipline, integrity, patriotism, love, sacrifice, all these are a sine qua non of building a prosperous nation. A tree cannot make a forest. Similarly, President Mohammadu Buhari alone cannot change the image of Nigeria. Hence, we must all put our differences aside and join hands with Buhari to take this country to greater heights..
As I speak to you as a senator, I have not received a dime as salary since I became a senator. The point I want to make is that if you look at the allowances given to the senators and break it down for accommodation, transportation among others, it is definitely not out of place.
We must also avoid a scenario where the security agents will be blamed if any person loses his/ her life while being prevented from looting and destroying Government property.
Goldie16: After the president has done his part, every other person should do their part as well. You can't blame him for your failure to do your own part. Let's call a spade a spade. The common man is even more wicked than the politician that they are blaming. See how they are busy Looting private warehouses
