Who said they are not paying? They are begging to be jumped to the front if the supply list. Do you know how many countries are lined up for ventilators?
Ellon Musk is giving it out for free to support poor Countries. Read it before you quote me.

Ahmad?
Is he not the same guy who is promoting almajiri culture in Nigeria?
So shamelessly, the knows to beg Elon for help instead of begging Saudi Arabia or some of their backward Arabic countries.

But what’s mentally wrong with supporters of these useless leaders?

No guarantee money can buy it ASAP
BUT
Begging would do since there is high demand


So logically you’re saying Elon musk will say
“Due to high demand, beggars to the front” money bags, fück off
It's hard to believe they are humans

First of all, those countries fall into Tesla delivery regions so they meet his requirement. Nigeria does not. Besides, why can't we engage innoson who has offered to build here?
Assuming you are innosson and have the capacity to produce an equipment that is scarce worldwide, what would you do at such a time as this.

Wait for FG to show interest in buying from you?

Produce prototypes and market to the world including fg, private hospitals and even export.

Take advantage of the scarcity and produce en mass

Or go to social media and run propaganda.

Tell me please.

This country is a disgrace. Wrong people are ALWAYS at the top. Those that can solve problems are always ignored.
BEGERIA should be our new name and not NIGERIA.

We enjoy begging in this country. Just watch how the Ventilators are going to be hoarded or stolen, when they arrive.

Bro, Elon Musk is not a government oKAY? It’s a Profit Oriented Company! Read!
He's giving it away for free, no profit, other countries are begging him for respirators so are you too big and proud to beg for something to save your life with?

Just pray that your life is not in danger and in need of a respirator. What are you going to do? Turn down the respirator because your country begged for it. Hatred don block common sense from you people sha.

America the most powerful and the richest is begging all over the place, but poor people in Nigeria are making yanga as if they are better than America.

See dis one. So GM, Tesla and Ford that had to get marching orders from Trump before they started manufacturing are fools abi?

Why are rolls Royce, Bentley, BMW, Toyota not producing too. They are auto makers not medical appliances manufacturers. They were called in based on their mechanical capacity and the emergency on ground. You should be able to differentiate between capacity and a chosen field.
Innoson is offering it's capacity to produce for Nigeria. They're not in the field of medical equipment.

1. So did huawei before it became a world class company.
2. They don't depend solely on govt. They have private customers to as well as intl customers. But that is besides the fact that knowing the govts love for foreign goods, it's wisdom to get the orders before delving into an otherwise alien field to its core competence

On Wednesday, the Trump administration asked the international community for donations of equipment, including N-95 masks, gloves, respirators, and hand sanitizer

https://www.motherjones.com/coronavirus-updates/2020/03/the-us-sent-tons-of-medical-supplies-to-china-even-as-senators-warned-of-virus-threat-here/
The US is asking other countries for everything from hand sanitizer to ventilators to help fight the coronavirus


"My job at the White House right now is to help find whatever the American people need and buy it from wherever we can, and if we need to send a plane to go get it, we'll get that done using the full force of government and private enterprise," Mr. Navarro said in an interview.

"If China or any other country has some masks, gloves or other products we need for the American people, we welcome that with open arms," he said.

Let that sink into your had, America don't care where or how they get supplies, but you poor people in Nigeria are making yanga as if you arr better and more superior than America.

Thank God people like you are not in charge of Nigeria, Nigerians will die because of your hatred and bitterness for Nigeria.

You're a joker. Your first link actually highlighted US donating supplies to China and then "administration officials" asking for donations. Same link later quoted Trump as saying America does not need to rely on foreign aid. You're free to believe the Dems propaganda machine if ur sweets your belle.

The second one: seems you did not see the word [b]buy
in the quote by Mr Navarro. The ministry that went a-begging have accepted it's wrong. But you zombies have accepted it as a career to defend every misstep by govt must do your job. Your attempt is hare-brained. It goes to the trash can.

Begging ia begging, Elon Musk is offering respirators for free so why should we pay for it or why shouldn't we ask him for some when other countries are doing the same thing?

If in need of a respirator to save your life, just turn it down because we begged for it, it's as simple as that so stop crying.

Who begged? Mention the names of the admin officials who begged like your bashir Ahmad and the MoF.
The US ramped up production immediately they sensed a shortage coming.
Mr Navarro said he can buy from anywhere and accept donations. He never asked for donations. Go back and read.
The govt you're defending already apologised. So again, what exactly is your stand?

What's worse, Nigeria does not even meet the requirements Elon put up so, is it not stupidity to beg for what you clearly can't have?

Step back and read again what you wrote within the context of the foregoing and see how uncoordinated you are. BMO should really have entry qualification.

I strongly believe that those donation are audio because if it happens that I was among the donor, I think by now I should be asking for the return of my money.

1. What are the requirements?

2. The government did not apologize, you are lying.

3. Anything done to save our lives is 100000000000% a good deed, even begging and crawling, I commend them for looking out for Nigerians.

4. I don't see Ukrainians going berserk because their government did the same thing that we did.

Bros pls bang it into their heads o!!! Arrogant, poor black thinks he knows something and thinks billions of naira=plenty money in the real scheme of things huh I ask u all again if u convert the donations so far (about N16b) to dollars its just about 25-30million dollars. 30million dollars can't take care of 1/4of the Nigerian population in this pandemic.

1. Can't you read? Or you're just defending what you don't know based on 30k things. Read Elon's tweet before you start arguing blindly.

2. You're just an unbelievable twât https://www.nairaland.com/5770050/covid-19-regret-begging-elon-musk

3. Refer to 2 above. It seems they're wiser than you.

4. There's a difference between accepting an offer and begging for consideration. Ukraine and Spain meet the requirements so what they're doing is accepting the offer elon made. Nigeria does not, which means they're begging to be considered. Kapisch?

Cut and paste where they apologized.

What are the requirements and explain why Nigeria didn't or can not meet the requirements.

Regardless who or did not meet the requirements, other countries did the same thing that we did and their citizens are not barking and foaming at the mouth.

Why are you so mad and upset because your country did something to look out for you? Why?
Re: Bashir Ahmad Begs Elon For 100 Ventilators by idealogical: 8:26pm On Apr 02, 2020

too many people here don't know what's going on in the world

ventilator is the hardest thing to get right now...test kits are scare , but ventilator scarcity is worse...the few ones westerners are producing aren't even enough for their citizens,thus making third world countries stranded.even if Nigerian government presents billions for ventilator manufacturers,none will collect

Elon musk is the only person Nigeria can beg,cos he is AFRICAN


Ukraine and Spanish government are also begging Elon musk too
But I ask did we need to wait for a crisis like this to know we need ventilators? A serious minded country should have made all these standby and ready in all our government run hospitals but since they run overseas for the slightest illness leaving ordinary citizens to the mercy of empty hospitals they saw no need for it. Now the chickens have come home to roost and they are now begging for ventilators. A shame of a nation.

America and the other advanced countries running from pillar to post looking for ventilators are not a serious minded, they should have made all these standby and ready in all our government run hospitals.

Have you asked why America and the other advanced countries waited for crisis to know how bad they need ventilators?

How many hospital bed per person have those countries got before the virus struck how many have we got down here? If out hospitals were that good why have they been running over seas for medical treatment?
Let's just pray that the pandemic does not strike us as hard as it struck those countries maybe then you would realize how ridiculous you sound.

We are talking about ventilators, not about beds.

It is ridiculous to blame your poor country for asking for respirators to save your life when even the richest and the most powerful and advanced countries in the world are also begging for respirators to save their own citizens. Are you saying their lives are more important than yours in Nigeria?

You people are not making any sense.
