To those shouting where are the donations,hope y'all know the monies weren't donated directly to the NCDC.

The funds are domiciled in the covid 19 relief fund with the central bank of Nigeria.

What happened to the billions of naira donated? Instead of Otedola and co to donate PPE, they were busy donating money. Germany and others too were donating money. Jack Ma was sensible enough not to donate money.

It is well

These guy have been cashing out massively since this phoney began, yet they've not had their fill.

If hunger and the adverse health effect have killed more than covid-19 why is this conduit still active?

They are asking for suppliers to supply to them for payment,they never said they don't have the funds.
Re: NCDC DG: We Have Run Out Of Test Kits!,Nigerians Should Help Us!! by SmartProf(m): 7:30pm On Apr 26, 2020
How can helpless citizens help a government? U wanted independence and claimed u could rule your nation and u got it, wasted the opportunities to develop your system and uplift you citizens, wasted the future of promising citizens, and left the poor without hope while enriching the political class, yet u are asking for help from Nigerians...how? Just imagine this reckless statement...Nigeria wasn't among the first set of countries which experienced the Covid 19 outbreak early...we had all the time to take precautions and also set up ourselves technically and otherwise with adequate response measures...Now here we are listening to garbage and yet we have cases running in their hundreds undiagnosed and unexplained deaths in some parts of the country. It's an insult for anyone to refer to this country as great....infact we should all be given a chance to choose if possible if we still want to be Nigerians, because it seems like we will never get things right. Since u have run out of kits, and u have no idea how to judiciously use the donations in billions, then u are indirectly telling us to face whatever we see....thank you Nigeria, u didn't disappoint our fears
