Dear Gov wike...just because the FG refused to give Rivers state any covid-19 grants or bails or watever doesnt mean people in Rivers state especially Port Harcourt should suffer and die of hunger...since you've confirmed that the index case is now negative...why not tightened the borders, open the markets and send those useless ikwerre boys to monitor and regulate the prices of food items in the market??...I watched your broadcast last nite...it sounded as stupid as the way you put on ur facial mask...Its high time you get some good advisers and leave this one man band show..thanks

he is trying to make you understand that whatever affects Rivers state or other southern states like delta and bayelsa will shake the entire country at least in the short run since the entire country is dependent on oil to survive just the same way the country will shake if Lagos has problem

Compare the number of cases in Lagos (which is the epicentre of the outbreak) to other states, maybe then you will 'see' reason. If it goes out of control in Lagos, nowhere else in Nigeria would be spared.
Wike has a point but should relax due to Lagos high rate of covid19 Also each state is under contention of covid19 so FG supposed give Dem support via funds

Rivers state doe not produce the greatest part of the nations wealth



Oil @ $100 X 2million barrels a day X 365 days a year =$73 billion

Lagos state has a GDP of $ 136 billion

NIGERIA has a GDP of $380 billion

Now Rivers state does not produce most of Nigeria's oil and oil is very far from $100

People need to wake up and stop parroting the same tired rubbish.

Lagos is position for the future, oil is the past

y wont u talk trash when all oil coy has their headquarters in lagos be virtue of being d former capital, i bet u, oyo state would have been better.

You uneducated people just wake up and speak trash everyday. Go and look into the FG allocation to each state and see if you can compare that of Rivers state with that of Lagos. The FG will not give sure allocation to Rivers if they are not getting more benefit from the oil and gas business. You just open your mouth carelessly and shout without thinking deep as if you know better than the government ruling you.
This is one of the reason Nigeria will be hard to develop because with this mentality you have, you might be given an opportunity to head a position and you will still do the same thing these people are doing.
before we say a word they mention education,illiterate...come and take this pandemic away from Lagos to your state and collect 10billion.educated mumu,as if the epicenter of corona virus was rivers state they can manage it like Lagos is doing.

Your stand is plainly stupid! Let me give you an example.

Suppose you have 2 children and one has cancer and the other malaria. Will you devote same amount of money to their healthcare? Will you say because the child with cancer cost you 100k a month to maintain, you must give same amount to the other child even when he or she is healthy?
Rivers State has only 1 case! Only one! So what do they need the money for? Just give all states same amount even when they don't need them to show equity?
Oyo and Osun with higher cases were not given anything and did not complain!

No one is saying give the same amount to other States. In the bolded, you are talking of amount. In this case the FG is giving no money to other States when these States have to take measures to prevent a spread of the virus.

Rivers State is on Lockdown. Rivers State needs palliatives to keep it going. Rivers State needs to have structure o ground in case of an outbreak. Rivers State needs testing centres in case to check for possible spread and track.

Giving no money to other States is ridiculous.

If it were possible to transfer every pressure and anxiety Lagos State is getting now to governor Wike and scale the amount to even N20 billion naira, Lagos State would gladly do that without hesitating.

Governor Wike should be mature enough to understand the situation at hand rather than playing politics with corona virus.

No wonder even individuals and cooperate organization are finding it difficult to contribute to the Rivers State government significantly on COVID-19 because of the character of the governor.

Individuals and cooperate organization are donating greatly to the Lagos State government.

Wike should put his house in order.

I beg make we hear word
Once it has entered a state and affected one or two confirmed cases know it that is has gotten a lot of people because most times it is difficult to trace people that has come in contact with the principal carriers
Those 4 cases or so you heard in Rivers state in no time could translate to 16 given the contagious rate of the virus
The same energy you use in fighting the virus in a place where you confirmed 20 should also be the same energy to contain it when it is even 2 cases

The FG is to blame for not shutting down the border in time until the Italian brought it in what an Irresponsible government and zombie followers


The FG wasn't irresponsible, that was what he wanted. He needed the virus to enter Nigeria so that it can open an avenue to embezzle money and it is doing justice to that right now not minding that some of its citizens will die in the process. Well they are just collateral damages. U can imagine allowing someone from Italy which was high on the list into your country b4 shutting down d airspace n border. N what wine is only saying is that all 36 states should be given some money in helping to curtail the situation but priorities will be given to those States with higher numbers. Prevention is better than cure

It has nothing to do with politics for Lagos State to have got such a huge amount of money neither has it got to do with the financial strength of Lagos State. As at this morning, Lagos state already has 120 confirmed cases of Covid-19 which is approximately 51.72% of confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the country. Will Wike wish Rivers State to be in d situation of Lagos n get 10b? Let's be judicious n reasonable.

That's true, in terms of revenue generation, Rivers state generates more more than Lagos State, so why should Rivers state not be given grants, or is Buhari waiting for the cases to get up to fifty before responding?
I hope you are not imagining, or insinuating that oil money from Rivers State belongs to them, all the investments pipelines, refinery, oil underneath the earth belongs to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, please Rivers State wealth is it's internally generated revenue, not statutory allocation from the Federal Government.

What has wike done with the free trillion Naira Rivers State has received since 2015 from the Federal Government?

Rivers State is a very poor State compared to Lagos State. Eko Oni Bake has a higher GDP than even Ghana.

Do you think before writing this nonsense, if Wike desperately need it that way he simply organise some Audio convid-19 patients but must we politicizes everything.,... FG should have disburse monetary funds to all state to enable them to control it before it get out of hand.
unfortunately for him, and indeed other useless governors, there is a federal agency that announces cases. If it were to be announced by states, crook governors would sure be competing with each other for the highest numbers. Shameless lots

Wike is not against them giving Lagos but also says that other states should be given some money to prepare properly in advent of an outbreak. Prevention is better than cure. Give Lagos n Abuja d lion's share but let other states get something too lest the governors start politicizing it

With the way Wike is going, he may import thousands of Corona viruses patient from the US so that he can collect 10 billion.
Wike is the most foolish greedy governor I have ever seen. Upon the 13 % oil revenue given to this fool of a governor he is still eyeing Lagos 10billion disaster management money.
Wike doesn't care about the health status of River's people,all he cares is the 10billion that he want to embezzle.
