Now this is the real playing of politics! At least he admits that there were some not suitable for consumption! If he likes he should return them or keep that's his business.

helinues:
Wike tread softly

Have you advised northern governors that jointly decided to send Almajiri back to their states to tread softly?

raumdeuter:
When Fashola did this in 2013, Some people wailed endlessly.

Since Northern governors started bundling stray almajiri to their home states, did you make any noise? Now, because Rivers governor has spoken you want to be funny.

These are minors that should be under the care of their parents and there are extenuating circumstances with this Covid-19 issue. When Fashola did that rubbish what was his justification?

Nwodosis:
Who counted or recorded the number of deaths? Is it the grave diggers, the hospitals that issued the death certificates or NCDC officials?

That's another challenge, no reliable data! Once a person dies they just wrap up and bury according to islamic rites!

Is APC confirming that the sudden deaths recorded in Kano are as a result of COVID 19? Have they inadvertently blown the macabre cover up instituted by the governor?
Even if Buhari cannot go, how about an official statement showing awareness and partnership with the people? Why is the APC and Fg not concerned that despite the evident spike in number of deaths recorded in Kano between last week and now, there is no definite answer as to the actual causes of those deaths?

They are talking of Oyo PDP rally which thankfully has not resulted in major casualties, did they not see the governor take responsibility and apologise for that lapse in judgment? Has APC cautioned Kano state that still organized football match recently with massive crowd gathering? What about the crowds around grave sites for the burials being conducted recently in the state and handling of bodies without ascertaining actual cause of death?

Sarrki and helinues oya o! Come and accuse Akeredolu of playing politics instead of respectfully inspecting rice, separating good rice from bad and quietly returning the rotten ones back to the FG! This was your opinion when Makinde of Oyo state revealed this mess.

Have you considered the logistics cost of the needless back n forth which would have been completely avoided if federal agencies like NAFDAC, Customs and the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs had deployed basic due diligence by confirming the status of said rice before distribution? Let's not go into the wide window of theft n corruption this opens!

The government needs to focus primarily on sufficient PPE for medical personnel, increased testing and guaranteed availability of medical supplies and isolation centers of appropriate standards.

If citizens must be mandated to use face masks, federal and state governors must ensure availability at reduced or no cost! It is preposterous that face masks of 50/100 naira are now being sold at 400/500 naira a piece

Difrent:
So business men deliberately imported spoilt rice in the name of business

Both of you are contradicting yourselves

The rice was suitable for consumption at the time of import but having been seized and dumped for months and years in poor storage conditions, it's naturally gone bad and then the crazy FG decides it is damaged goods under its custody that it will distribute to its citizens.

adadike:
sometimes, I wonder if you are truly okay?

Nne ehn! E reach to ask!

sarrki:
I must not reason or support your party to look responsible

I don’t tolerate thrash

Must he make noise about it ?

Return if you want to return Abc.

Is he the only one ?

Why should a responsible FG distribute bad and spoilt foodstuff in the first place? Do they want to worsen the already fragile health conditions of Nigerians? The problem originated from the FG and no one should be expected to keep quiet and tolerate it. Stop exalting mediocrity and ineptitude!

I hope in all of these the state government was diligent enough to order an autopsy and have on record the cause of death so that in addition to witnesses there is factual evidence! At least a bullet wound is certainly distinct from heavy impact from a moving force like a vehicle!

This is how 5th columnists like Mohammed the Liar will muddy the waters and if there is no iron-clad evidence, it becomes a matter for debate denying victims their right to justice!

I don't know why professionals are hardly ever allowed to work in this country and are always subject to interfering, ignorant political appointees and office holders!

Why should only 10 samples be taken at any point when there is capacity for more? Why subject both the professional and those in need of the services to some unneccessary pick and choose? Why should there be a requirement for approval before a medical procedure like taking samples for testing is carried out? Why ignore or postpone taking samples from those who meet the conditions? Is it for them to continue unknowingly infecting others or what?

Now he is sacked just because! Tufiakwa!

sarrki:
The rice was seized by the customs

To seyi everything is politics

If customs failed in checking and nafdac also did

Why all the noise ?

Certify you he good ones and destroy the ones that are not good for human consumption

Hush please! What is the politics in sending back damaged goods to its point of origin? You say nothing to the wicked FG that knowingly loaded and distributed poison to Nigerians after seizing said commodity from businessmen yet you criticize one that refuses to quietly accept crap, why?

It's like your newfound sense is wearing off and you are gradually returning to zombie factory settings.

While this line of argument appears to have some merit, it is that uncertainty of proper management and transparency that is critical. Are the Nigerian political actors of today ready to keep their sticky, pilfering fingers out of the cookie jar?

Can Buhari, his APC members and state governors generally commit to being honest enough to let real development take root without factoring in their greedy tendencies? Are they prepared to really enhance local capacity and stop patronising everything foreign like the Julius Bergers, the Chinese and so on?

If these cannot be guaranteed or ensured, there is no point!

All Buhari was elected or rather positioned to do is to just provide proof of life at intervals, and he's good to go

Yanmiriflathead:
Shut up with your Nonesense Victim mentality. Is this the first time the people of kano have made allegations about fake drug indulgence by ipob criminals living in kano?? as if the whole of africa does not know those doing drug business are ipob criminals. Its An IPOB TRADE SO KEEP CALM

The question is, why haven't you heard of such rubbish being hawked or sold in other parts of the country? Igbos no dey those places? Shut up with your fake stories and assertions jare! Na u go tire finally.

Bighead9:
This must be the hand work of my cousin Chinedu. I warned him but he wouldn't listen. Now, he finally went to Kano to sell his fake corona vaccines.

I'm an Igbo man from Aba, why are we naturally heartless. This is wrong. He ended up killing more of our Igbo Brothers. Cause Sabon gari is the only area where you find Igbo's and other Christians in Kano.

Your so called Igbo brothers die and they are wrapped up and buried within hours in cemeteries abi? You don't know how your brothers bury their dead anymore? You better own up to your tribe/ethnicity and put an end to stupidity!

OP! Where did you see or hear the dirty news that the so called vaccine or drug was sold in Sabon gari? You just wake up and concoct one rubbish to create a very false narrative.
Northerners that are known for sniffing and drinking the most improbable of substances just to get high have become innocent victims now abi?

What of the woman and her child that were given 20k each? Is the video a lie then?

blasted12:
Most certainly the handwork of those IPOB drug dealers in sabon gari. Dumbass almajiri can't see through it

blasted12:
Still the handwork of the ibo drug dealer. It's in the blood

blasted12:
If there's anything fake, made up to make a profit regardless of the cost to human lives, the whole country knows the source of that evil

You really are blasted and blighted! Why haven't you heard of such nonsense being hawked in the East or West or is it only in Kano you have Igbos?

Yanmiriflathead:
You Have said it all ipob criminals in sabon gari are the ones selling fake made in A..B..A vaccines to our people. this is a phamaceutical weapon against our people

Yanmiriflathead:
Shut Up!!! ipob criminals in sabon gari are the ones selling made in A..B..A vaccines in kano. you can hug transformer if you like. This Is Ethnic Cleansing

Some of you just wake up and decide to target a tribe just because of inbred stupidity, deep-seated bigotry and contrived ignorance!

Mad charlatan forming pasta!

Goke7:
too much hypocrisy, am disappointed

Na una people, na so una dey...slimy, untruthful, 'sophisticated'...

OdefaGirl:
Una go look look look this burial until una go find out say no be Kyari Dem bury

Sister Kemi Olunloyo don talk say no be Abba dem bury o! Hehehe... Naija is full of drama please

Iamgrey5:
Crazy old woman

Even if a log of wood was buried, how is it our business?

Don't you just love being made a fool of! How 'loyal'!!

So sad and disturbing. Yet some know these truths and suppress them because of political expediency.
Don't even know what to say anymore, my people always rise like the Phoenix and shine bright!

On the other hand, there is a reality that we face. There is a chronic global shortage of personal protective equipment, including masks, around the world. The world was not prepared for a pandemic of this scale. We have to prioritise certain part of our population.

“Fifty per cent of the world masks are produced by China that has been locked down for months. They are now restarting their production and thankfully, some of those things are coming out.”

He said countries that produced medical materials, including masks, had banned their exportation because they too needed them.

How about stimulating local production of PPE? Must we keep depending on importation?

This is so hilarious!
Guy man prof is taking no prisoners! The sign for trespassing vehicles looks pretty old like it's been there a long time while that for cows is apparently in response to recent developments where cattle and their herders now forget the meaning of peaceful coexistence.

It'll be a real spectacle to see a hanging cow!

Na wetin na?

fairfora:
ok. I dare you post the revenues of 4 years of GEJ when money was flowing left, right and centre and compare with 3 years of fowler. If you can't do that,.please do is a favour by remaining mum. Don't bother to do the same on JAMB revenue when professor Dibu Ojetrinde was there as DG and what was earned since the new DG took office because that would be too much a job for you or NIPOST during GEJ era and that of NIPOST of Buhari regime. Some people worked during Buhari-led administration while many didn't do anything, including his cabinet appointees and Burantai, COAS. I'm waiting

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/12/10/news-analysis-abba-kyaris-query-that-sacked-fowler/amp/

I don't need to go hunting for figures. Fowler was issued a query to that effect and he did not deny or disprove it. That more than answers the question.

This link contains Fowler's response to the query: https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/fowler-replies-kyari-blames-revenue-shortfall-on-recession/%3famp=1

fairfora:
So you believe that crap too? Fowler had delivered the revenue to the apc-led govt in one year, what they couldn't earn in 3 years of GEJ. I'm not a fan of APC but at least, the record is there. Let's see what the new mr integrity would deliver to the fed govt, hoping he wouldn't complain of sabotage later as Fashola did as minister of power, works and housing. It's as good as saying the current JAMB Director didn't make any revenue for the fed govt if replaced by an hausa or northern man.

fairfora:
Fowler used the lagos model, which had worked well also at the federal level. Nigeria earned more during fowler compared to his predecessor.

Even the query Fowler received and responded to clearly showed that he raised mess revenue between 2015 - 2018 than was received under the GEJ tenure between 2012-2014. Stop the lies please!

Olalan:
What is it with people always trying to discredit their predecessors when they assume office. It's a bad leadership trait and an excuse for failure

I hope you had this position when APC came blaming Jonathan and '16 years of PDP' from 2015?
