Some States Playing Politics With COVID-19 To Get Money - Northern Elders Forum by nairavsdollars(f): 4:50pm On Apr 30, 2020 |
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) on Thursday said some states are playing politics with numbers of people that tested positive from the COVID-19 pandemic in order to get more grants from the Federal Government and foreign donors. https://www.independent.ng/some-states-playing-politics-with-covid-19-to-get-fg-funds-foreign-donors-northern-elders/ 6 Likes 2 Shares

This is common knowledge. Politicians will always use crisis as an avenue to loot, under different guise and forms. You will be surprised at the staggering amount they will claim was espended on this pandemic. Even the so called relief palliatives are not visible, but only audible to the ears. Everyday, I'm accosted with people asking for help. I try in my capacity to render help. I was moved to tears when I saw a grown up man begging with 4 children on the road. God have mercy. Even NairaLand has turned to Beggarland of recent. With different monickers littering their account numbers all over the place, begging for alms from one thread to another. And yet, you wonder where all the donations trumpeted by the government have been used for. It's very disappointing, where we are as a nation. 180 Likes 16 Shares |

![]() This iz Nigeeria! Politics is the prefix of everything. And while they're piling numbers and giving executive orders to mimic a half-baked version of measures taken by other resonable leaders in other countries, our own governors and even FG are pursuing shadows. Let's pray the pandemic ends soonest.... When the amount that will be submitted as report of expenses incurred is put out and the massive looting that we will see, even Abacha will have low self-esteem. Here's an opportunity to not just blame past administrations for the incoming economic crisis, but Covid-19 will be the sacrificial lamb upon which the looted and misappropriated funds will be pegged on. Brace up Nigeria, the Storm is coming, And corruption + looting said, I am the storm. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerian politicians will always take advantage of every little opportunity. This is just like stealing in a funeral. We need to get it right for once, especially in this period of COVID-19. 10 Likes |

It's hard to believe the Nigerian Thieves are using a global pandemic to loot monies meant for it's citizens. They ordered a 4 week lockdown and did not do anything during those 4-5 weeks, they are lifting the lockdown because they have finished sharing the COVID-19 funds that were donated to Nigerians. Nigerians deserve the leaders they voted for. 18 Likes |

With all due respect to the Elders in the North, I believe they are also playing politics with the Covid19 issue by issuing this kind of statement. I think it's important for elders like them to wait till the end of the saga before making allegations they cannot substantiate. 16 Likes |
