Nigeria’s corona people are busy itemising the billions of dollars DEVELOPED nations have put forward as relief packages for their economies that were ravaged by coronavirus, and then they end it by mocking the 20 naira slash on fuel price that took effect today. In other words, they want a ”coronavirus relief package” in billions of dollars as announced by the US, UK, Italy and the European Union, and they want the money shared to them in the same manner those rich and DEVELOPED nations want to do to their ravaged populations!
Besides the fact that this idiotic comparison and demand is coming from those who idiotically said the announcement of the arrival of the virus in Nigeria about 3 weeks ago was a scam by Nigeria’s government officials to loot public funds, these same people are the very same people again who adore and idolize thieves and criminals like Diezani who stole and stashed our billions of dollars in those same countries, which are the very sums helping to reflate the economies of those nations these idiots want us to spend like!
By the way, Nigeria has been on bailout mode ever since General Muhammadu Buhari became President on May 29, 2015. So, which other bailouts are these profligate sons and daughters of perfidy looking for? When those nations were busy enjoying the wonderful infrastructure and economies they painstakingly built, Buhari was left to carry the can of looking for scarce resources to bailout the 36 states handed over to him broke and battered, so much that about 27 of them owed workers’ wages for upwards of 14 months. He gave them bailouts 3 times plus a single Paris Club Refund, all of them combined in billions of dollars!
Besides that, with the same scarce resources he got onto feeding our primary schools kids, got the N-Power Scheme and the TraderMonie Scheme going. And we are not even talking of rails and road projects across the country. Or don’t these profligate people regard these schemes and programmes as bailouts? If a road is built to Jada or anywhere, are the people there not bailed out from the agony of painful travels?
Simply put, if one man alone did not cause the disappearance of $16b electricity funds, Nigeria would have gone beyond the era of bailing out the population on electricity; rather we would have perhaps entered the league of sharing relief packages like Europe and America. But for now, let us first bail our selves from dilapidated infrastructure and a wrecked economy, which our farmers are now helping us achieve!
By the way, even the PDP national secretariat and the 50% of their workers that they sacked last week need bailouts. So, which bailouts are they asking for when we have been on bailout mode since 2015?
