Politicians are really doing what they know how to do better.
A community of 50 people should share that rice with an additional condition that was attached to it.

Nigeria must learn in a hard way or stop complaining when they are given this kind of palliative

₦3,000 TRANSPORT FEE FOR FOOD AID? EDO RESIDENTS SAY NO.

This one shock everybody.

In Edo State, a food aid event linked to Dekeri Anamero, a member of the House of Representatives, has sparked serious outrage.

Here’s what happened. Plain and simple.

A community of about 50 people was given:
👉 one small bag of rice
👉 one small bag of beans

But wait.

Each person was told to pay ₦3,000 as “transport fee” to collect it.

Yes. Pay money… to receive food aid. 🤦‍♂️

A video from the scene shows a local man reacting in disbelief, openly questioning how such a small amount of food could be called help — especially when people are already struggling.

And this is happening at a time when Nigeria’s economy is on fire.
Inflation is above 30%, according to the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Food prices are crazy.
Transport is crazy.
Life is hard.

So people rejected it.

Many residents said no, and online reactions have been brutal — with Nigerians calling it insulting, exploitative, and another example of pre-election token politics.

This kind of “help” doesn’t build trust.
It destroys it.

Moral lesson:
If assistance comes with humiliation and charges, it’s not help — it’s exploitation.

E go last you till 2031,sharp

They impoverish the people so when they give them rice and palm oil they will gladly accept with two hands.
Cheers to bad governance.

Renewed hope, for the hopeless.

What APC cannot do does not exist.

Some dullards will still vote them regardless of their sufferings, anyone with a good heart without sentiment will vote for a good man in a good party

Like for H.E Peter Gregory Obi
Share for H.E Bola Ahmed Tinubu

lol. one of their zombie supporters was explaining to me in the previous thread, that Nigeria is a poor nation, therefore the citizens ought not to ask or expect any benefits from the government, therefore this is no benefits but an insultive parliative from the useless government to the citizens.

I don't pity this people when they complain because when they were selling their vote they were smiling. Let their slavery continue

We Nigerians, we are the ones that gave them the chance to ride on us as they like because we don't know our right.

Cantonese from Nairaland:

"An employee received his salary and boarded a crowded bus back to his home, and there was a thief in the bus, so the theif stole the employee's money from his pocket.

After the employee had reached his destination and the driver asked for the fare, the employee found nothing in his pocket, his face blushed and his tongue became heavy, so the driver said mockingly: Shame on you, you consider yourself a respected person while you can not afford your transport fare!

Pride hit a potion of the thief's ego and he said to the mocking driver: My brother, the teacher's fare is on my me!

The thief offered to help the teacher, his victim, not out of pity for the poor teacher but to buy from the other passengers their trust and confidence, and to use some of the stolen money to earn himself a respect before the rest of the passengers in the bus.

The poor employee smiled and said to the thief: May God bless you and multiply your likes, sir!

Then some of the passengers in the bus praised the thief, praised his kindness, and also prayed for him and that God should increase his kinds.

Since then, the number of thieves has increased, and they still receive our thanks and appreciation; We are still on a bus where thieves rob us, and we thank them for their kindness.

This is the metaphor of the state of our nation, Nigeria!

Looking at what the politicians are campaigning with, and what their supporters are praising them for, one cannot do but say that: indeed, the victims of the thieves on our bus this year are supplus!

The politicians rob us our education to send their children overseas to get standard education

They rob us our peace but travel oversea to enjoy peace in another man's land.

They give us death-traps as roads but fly in their expensive planes.

They deny us electricity but buy themselves fuel to power their generators.

They do all of this on the detriment of our collective comfort and rights, they equally weaponise poverty to bait us with the crumbs falling from their dining tables during election time.

Our only means of having the feelings of what it feels like graduating from a standard institutions is when we see their children being celebrated on the social medias; we aren't even invited- who invites the downtroddens to feast?!

While they do this, they save some of the stolen money from the national treasury and then share it among us to buy our consciences under the guise of helping the electorates and then some of the oppressed citizens praise them, thank them and celebrate them.

This is the reason why the politicians who are stealing our money from our national treasury are increasing.

No matter how big a politician gives in this Nigeria of today, he deserves no appreciation, what he deserves is to explain when he is going to return the rest of the money and then ask for forgiveness from the people they have stolen their all to buy themselves all of the comforts in another man's lands.

The thieves in our bus are increasing all the time because we continue praising them for returning small from the plenty they steal from us.

Happy Weekend to us all." https://www.nairaland.com/7398086/thieves-bus#117815493

The man probably saw them as hungry people, asking then to pay 3000 T fare is very callous.

I'm sure the rice would have been more than that but the delivery man, not only divided it but bill them, too.

I still blame the politicians 100% for not supervising the sharing. They'd rather prefer cutting a tape to distribute wheel barrows and pit toilets etc.

Evil people.

Mehn! This your submission is deep and sums up everything happening to us as masses to these thieves called politicians.
I love this write up, keep it up

The end goal is to join APC and expect rigging to see them through. Over to the constituents. Cast your vote and protect it.

Can you imagine... I don't blame APChit..I blame the people collecting the food.

Rice is the cheapest thing in my area right now.

You can only be tempted with what you lack

You collect, you no collect, he will rig himself into power.
APC don't believe in your vote.

Don't expect the baba who came to power Via rigging to conduct free and fair election

E no dash them, he only sold subsidized foodstuff to them, so make them buy am like that
