7 billion naira for a shack? Nigerians deserve the NON-LEADERS they vote in. I know for a fact that if there is an election tomorrow Yaya Below will win.

Yes o. Bello will always win any day, any time.
He is a performer. He preforms wonders: when you think a lie is impossible to tell, he proves otherwise.

Odingo1:

"7 billion naira Kogi Isolation Centre which rain just destroyed yesterday."

This is so amazing. When you think something is impossible, you may soon find out that anything is possible.
Seems like the young Kogi governor is determined at taking the whole looting and lying game to the next level.

Not everyone is like you OK. Read my post before you quote me please. If America wants to let the money out they've over 100 ways to do it. Let them tell us they need the money simple.

Until we start seeing Nigeria's business as our personal matter the country will remain like this. Eg if Abacha is our dad and he did this, then us the siblings requested for the money and America is giving us excuses that our uncles will bully us and take the money and we're in dire need, won't you suggest America give us the money in another from other than cash? Or you'll prefer America keep the money while we die of our needs? I need your reply.

Brotherly easy. If they do it in any way that will benefit the masses directly while bypassing our rogue politicians that will be perfect. But you know our crook leaders are looking forward to it passing through them as usual and we all know that is voice mail, same effect as not sending back the fund. "They don't really care about us."

debanj326:
Covid 19 is giving our dear Brother Gandollar the required sense.

LMAO!
Where do you guys these kinds of sarcasm from?

Birniwa:
One of the saddest things is that Access Bank was among the banks that recently donated 1B Naira each to the government to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Now let's do a simple Maths that can show you banks are the worst places to work.

Average bank staff receives N80,000 per month salary. The same N1,000,000,000 can pay 1,046 staff for one year straight. If the bank had considered this, would they bother donating up to 1B Naira to the government while its staff are shockingly receiving sack letters amidst this pandemic?

PS.
Even if you find yourself still working with a bank, please get a side hustle that you can always turn to. Banks will send you to recession in the blink of an eye.

Honestly that is the most inhumane part of it. Hard to understand why a company/bank will donate 1 billion to govt and turn around to sack her staff claiming financial constraints.

funmike83:
Oh no, this is wicked and unfortunately we dont have government not even when they have collected 1b from access. Wait o, banks don't sack, you will be advise to resign ni o. Where is this coming from

Being asked to resign is a soft way of putting it.
If you fail to do so voluntarily, you know they force it on you through sack. Heaven won't fall.
That is how selfish they can be. They don't give just a hoot how you fare.

slodot2000:
Very intelligent comment. This is exactly the kind of reasoning people should have in this country. keep it up.

For me every recovered loot should go to the masses directly to eliminate hunger, encourage SMEs, farmers, and entrepreneurs.

The criminal politicians will never let that happen.

anonymous1759:
Pure bullying from America I don't blame them though, the vision less Abacha caused this. but the united states Is exhibiting stealing nature some useless youths are in support. I know the country is messed up but with this mentality we've especially in Nigeria we'll remain slaves because we lack loyalty. you don't need to have the best treatment to be loyal sometimes.

America citizens can never support another country over thiers we should Learn that. America can use the $320m to exchange the weapon to Nigeria if they really want the money out of their country. Making excuses until sanity is restored in Nigeria is a bluff they just want to keep the money in their economy. A new born baby knows Nigeria can't be fixed in the next 10 yrs, the west are very smart playing on our intelligence funny enough our youths are caught in that Web. Nigeria is my country no matter what. America should return the money it's a family matter. There's no where I can be a first class citizen other than Nigeria before you quote me I know there's no water, light, security, electricity etc but it's still my country. Some of our parents didn't give us the best but it doesn't mean we stop being loyal to them.

Completely useless releasing stolen money to another set of looters. They can keep it till we see those we can trust. All of us are first class citizens of the fantastically corrupt nation together. That is how we want to handle the family matter.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
USA should return the loot in form of palliatives that will be given to citizens in dire need directly by hand or through bank account.

That's how it's done in a country where criminals are occupying leadership positions.

Thumbs up!

There is no justice, there's just us.

One can remember tune when kidnapping was part of our normal life. Fast forward to today, not only do they kidnap, but also they kill their captives.

TruthSpeaker:
Quite unfortunate, but Sadly many more will still die. It has only just begun and it will definitely get worse. RIP to the dead and to the future that will die of COVID-19. USA has been recording an average of over 2400 daily deaths in the last 10 days. Nigerians are not more righteous.
We have to take this COVID-19 really serious, it has come to kill and to destroy.

I tell you. Though we are more religious.

LandMann:
Years ago, most dangerous threat to human lives were big visible creature. Today, it's a microscopic virus that we can't see with our naked eyes that is the most dangerous threat to human existence.

Unfortunately, the whole debacle has once again exposed how failed we are as a country; both the leaders and the followers are part and parcel of the cause of the problems.

Unfortunately, I just hope we retrace our steps quickly before we, like the dinosaur, get buried and forgotten in the sands of time.

To A Better Nigeria

Really funny, how you could relate.
Our leaders, past and present along with their apologists deny that they are not part of the problem.
All decision they take while "serving" are for the good of all.
May be the problem is just from the followers.
What do we know?
Some say there is something fundamentally wrong with the black man.

kestolove95:
Atiku is still beta than buhari, ibb nd co, d guy provided jobs for poor Nigerians

Don't think so dear.
Ten is never greater than two times five.

Not nice at all in a time like this.
People are having more, multiple issues to deal with all at the same time.

Ebonyeyes:
1. Why don't these demonic political elites donate their mansions, hotels and buildings as isolation centers?
2. Why did they call for a lockdown so that they could go on a loan shopping spree and share the monies?
3. Why did they underfund and under-develop the health care system of Nigeria?
4. Why didn't they build emergency hospitals like the West, they only copied the lock down part but failed to build hospitals or equip the existing dying hospitals.
5. Why did they blindly copy the WEST's lock down but refused to provide for the citizens of Nigeria?
6. What happened to the monies donated by the EU/WHO/UN/IMF? Whose bank accounts did the loot end up in?

Serious something my dear.

TommyAnthem:
What about the old federal secretariat in Lagos, why can't it be converted to isolation centre, can you imagine someone feeding like elephant begging someone feeding like ant for food.

Na Naija be this, anything is possible.
Callous people loot you dry still begging from you. There's nothing like conscience.

Okay na

Wow!

Openbusiness:
They have not even reached 1000 cases yet, and they already struggling with bed space, in a state that has over 30 million people inside. What will now happen when cases (God forbid, God forbid) reach 50,000? In a few weeks we will know whether the decision to ease lockdown in Lagos on May 4th is the biggest mistake ever made in Nigeria. Now it's bed space, later it will be equipment, later it will be shortage of medical personnel. But let it not come out from my mouth. When the time comes, they will speak for themselves. Let me shut up.

You are just being realistic.

Jamesbiodun:
UBA 1000 bed isolation center, YABa and many more, they should convert all general hospital and private to isolation center for now

Hmmm. Don't forget many of our hospitals have patients with other equally serious health challenges which they are battling with which resources, facilities and space are not meeting up with demand. I don't know if there has been a time you attended the general hospitals as a patient?

Misscongenialit:
This lockdown is giving me cold feet. It reminds me of the Marseille plague of 1720, where more people died after quarantine was lifted to help the economy, more than half of the population died and noone cared about the economy with bodies lying everywhere.

Please we have a responsibility to ourselves and our families, if we observe the rules at every individual level, we can at least save our loved ones from sickness that we will import from outside.

Pls stay safe ,use face masks ,practice social distancing.

If you know the level of ignorance out there you will know terrified is nothing. Whatever sensitization that may have been done by the authorties only have very little impact. Luck is all we got.

When the party is just getting started?
Our readiness is even yet to be put to test?

emmanuelewumi:
If the fund is up to N5 million, buy FG bond in the secondary market through Stanbic IBTC. You should be able to get 10%

Is that the minimum?

Susu888:
Wailers and blowing of matters out of proportions.
Whts the big deal?? Apparently the minister is sure that nafdac certified but somehow it turns out expired when it reaches its destination.
Either the people to transport it replaced good ones with a few expired ones or that nafdac didn't do a thorough job either way i don't see how wailers link this to buhari or the minister as they obviously have nothing to gain giving you a few bags of expired rice plus lets add the people claiming north recieved good rice while south received expired..... anyone who knows how poor northerners are knows that they really wouldn't bother with the expiration date on the sack as long as the rice is edible nd in good shape. So pls all the propagandist should give it a rest!

The swap will most likely have come from the customs warehouses guards , operators or the truck drivers/ points of distribution e.t.c ..... there are just so many suspects because nigerians are so corrupt especially on the moral aspects. It could be anyone from the warehouse guards down to the distribution operatives.

No matter what is done Nigerians will always complain

Haba. Is everything about Wailers, APC, PDP, sentiments or what?
Don't the ordinary people deserve something decent from their leaders?
We keep screamng corruption this, corruption that, is it not human beings in the system that are doing it?
And so why will we see traces of that and choose to only explain it away?
Things are constantly messed big time by people in charge and they hardly get punished, and the cycle continues on and on.
I wonder how we hope to get to that promised land if what we see is the change we dream of.

Too bad if true.
Common things as Federal Character should not be too much to ask for.
This regime has always being pointed out for bias in a multitribal system as ours.
What is good for goose, is good for gander.

What a pity!

This country sef.

NaMeAboki:
For crying out loud, Kano is the most populous state in the country with also a high poverty index rating; it is poised to explode into the national epicentre of COVID 19 if care is not taken - the consequences of would eventually also reach many of you in south.
Can you imagine what a huge hungry poor population would do if under prolonged forced lockdown without adequate palliatives.
When FG was pumping billions in terms of money and resources into Lagos (even with its high IGR) none of you were complaining - now it is paying similar attention to Kano, suddenly many of you are yarning sentimental dust.

Maybe if you can put the exact figures/records of what were given to both sides, side by side for them to see.
The present regime has always been associated with lopsidedness in what they do.

I still recall arguing about how Nigerian health workers are being stretched beyond limit days back.
Welfare and safety/protection of our health workers is a reflection of how prepared and determined we are at dealing with pandemics such as this.

How I wish such can be used for the ordinary Nigerians that might need them if it comes true.
Such might just end up being reserved for the high and mighty.

Wonders shall never end!

Sounds like a gift from the devil?
