The items included bags of rice and garri, as well as cartons of noodles said to be part of the relief materials donated by some concerned Nigerians during the 2022 flood disaster in the State.
From dailypost.
What did they not distribute the food since? wicked human beings!
I heard that they have expired sef
ReplyDeleteWhy even hoard palliatives?
Nawa o
Stella,this is not the true story. The warehouse was being cleared out for the next flood palliative that will have to come in and some few bags of spoilt food items left over from last year were packed out . It is those ones that the hoodlums went and stole,thinking that it was still good. The palliatives were 95% distributed last year. Please look for the press release on the issue and post it for a balanced reportage. I live in yenagoa and it is not as is being reported. Yes,we know how these government officials behave when it comes to relief items but the major scam is even done with the money to buy the relief items. They will say a bag of rice cost 70k and they bought 10,000 bags when rice cost 40k and they only bought 5,000 bags. We are really in dire need of honest people in this country cos most everyone is corrupt.
DeleteNa their way. The citizens are hungry and angry
ReplyDeleteThese people are wicked!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad they looted the place and I hope they emptied the warehouse.
Na so some of these products dey spoil and expire.
Sluttychic.
Correct,very wicked leaders. They rather leave it there to expire than to give to the poor
ReplyDeleteVery wicked people, good they looted the place.
ReplyDeleteWhat manner of govt is this? They seem to derive pleasure in seeing the masses suffer.
ReplyDeleteIt's like the so-called leaders are suffering from a C!rse or what I don't understand. The people that kept the food till it expired won't even eat it because of their class, why then do they have to keep it from those who will value it?
ReplyDeleteKogi State will probably have the same food in their warehouse because they had that issue together then.
Can companies stop donating food to government directly, they have shown to care less about it twice.
If for no reason, pray not to be at the mercy of the government and any human in your life.
@your second to the last paragraph, some of the companies donating palliative directly to the government know why they're doing it.
DeleteHaa Felicity you don't wanna know the jagbajantis that goes on with companies donating to government directly? There is a plethora of reasons why they do it (story for another day)
DeleteIf you listen to Baba Fela, your answers lie there...
Hmmm! Anne K and Phoenix, it is a man-chop-man world.
DeleteCompanies trying to climb the ladder and get into the book good
Is it not the masses that loaded these palliatives for them? This is one instance where it’s ok for the truck drivers to squeal, for every town person to pass the word of the location around and take what rightfully belongs to them. Did you see the pictures of palm oil in a sandwich bag and a serving of spaghetti with some Garri, barely enough for a child circulating as palliative online?
DeleteThe horrors being inflicted on the masses in Africa especially Nigeria by its rulers makes me think satan has his throne in the hearts of the looting cohorts (politicians, cronies, contractors and their children. Yes they steal for their children who in turn flaunt it online & live large in real life…they hire limousine to visit the mall to shop here). Adult kids can actually talk to parents. I cannot tell my family I just bought a private jet without them questioning and shaming me because though we are wealthy but not that rich! Through sweat of decades in America! Kids can ask aren’t questions. Use SM to pressure them via their kids as last resort instead of abusing the few who dare tell the truth!
That’s something the youths should try to do, put pressure on their kids when they flaunt the ill gotten wealth stolen from one million kids so their own two kids can get Gucci purses and Monaco vacations. Go through them. Shame them because the looter gluttonous parents have no shame.
Before you act sanctimonious and say why involve children, Bongo in Gabon got into power in 1967, 56 years ago, he handed power to his son. Their family has ruled for 50 years. The daughter of the one in Equatorial Guinea, an oil rich country that should be like Dubai due to its small population rides a limo to high school in Beverly Hills California! Something Bill Gates’ child will never do! The senate and house in Nigeria plus the cabinet has almost 50 children of looters! An apple tree cannot produce grapes.
If there will ever be a non violent change/physical deliverance for the masses in Nigeria, it will have to come from within their ranks, their own children, disgusted at the gluttony of their parents , shamed by a less ignorant citizenry. Not in firm of pittances or handouts like used clothes or N5000 but a discontent that leads to action among their class. You can complain about things all you like, they sold their souks already, these folks have no conscience or shame!
It's wickedness and greediness that made them not distribute it.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine the wickedness of men! Kai,hope the food items never even expire like this?
ReplyDeleteWickedness at its peak by the government, but make the people no eat am if the items don expire oh.
ReplyDeleteImagine this..very wicked set of people called leaders..
ReplyDeleteWhy are these people this wicked fgs? Where do we even get it wrong with our leaders from the bottom to the top? Where? And to think they won't even consume the expired products oo. And I'm sure they would have taken some that will serve them and their families and friends for sometimes leaving the rest to expire there. Wickedness is an understatement here. Smh
ReplyDeleteYou think they will be buying those things from the market when they have it there. All the govt officials in that state must have taking large quantities to their homes.
Delete11:28, then you obviously dnt know govt officials and politicians. You think they would eat the kind of cheap products that are stored in the warehouse? Foe where? Some of them shop for the whole year abroad. They stock up their stores untill the next time they travel abroad. Down to tooth paste, some of them use foreign ones, so it is rice that you want them to come n eat local one?? Lol
Deleteevil wicked politicans
ReplyDeleteThis is sheer wickedness but we the followers too don't help ourselves. I think we are just weak people who would rather take it on the downtrodden. Some normal people are aware of this food stored in warehouses but provided the politician is taking care of my family and needs; and party affiliation, others can go to hell...
ReplyDeleteWhen election comes, vote for who is right No! They will allow tribalism and religion hold sway and throw logic out of the window. I don't pity them. The average Nigerian is very wicked and will do same and far worse if given the same position. Since we no wan get sense; this is what we will keep getting..
Phoenix, you captured it well.
DeleteIf one talks, you will be tagged an enemy of the country and wish Nigeria bad.
Yoruba says "oloto ilu ni ota ilu".
You need to see the number of people begging on the road daily, we are not ready to be the change we dream of as a nation
Very wicked and heartless set of people in govt.
ReplyDeletePresident Tinubu, kindly fish out the government officials behind this and punish them
ReplyDelete😄😄😄 "Sorry for the laugh" Who did you call again? Though this happened at a State level, were you not aware of how the APC rep or senator in Lagos wanted to share palliative during her birthday in 2020?
DeleteEven Governor Sanwo and his people hoard palliative, they are just wicked.
You see that subsidy palliative, I pray the poor get to see it this year
this is a PDP
DeleteWhen you descend into chaos, it is the innocent that will suffer at the end. There is never any good excuse for lawlessness.
ReplyDeleteDuring end SARS, vandalism started with these warehouses. Next were houses of politicians. The people who they came for next where those who had made the mistake of investing in the communities. They looted shops and supermarkets, broke into houses that looked decent, raped women , destroyed their shops, stole their goods and ruined their businesses this led to a lots of jobs that didn't come back. They , in satisfying their greed for one day, ruined their future opportunities. The mumus in Lagos vandalized the hospital that the king s too rich to use. Has it been replaced for the pillaging poor? Who wants to poor water into baskets
Stella, before hailing illegality, criminality and the chaos that we ran from, let us ask serious questions:
Who confirmed to these vandals that the goods there are for them? A similar thing happened in Jos where criminals broke into a warehouse. They caterd away pesticide -coated seeds that was supposed to be distributed to farmers, some ate the poison and committed suicide by ignorance and greed.
The goods supplied may already have expired or soon to be and so staff kept it for safety. They may have been trying draw up a proper indigents register so what happened during COVID-19 lockdowns does not repeat itself with another round of palliatives.
These criminals who have never paid a dime in taxes all their lives, broke into a government facility you are hailing such a dangerous precedent? Is this lack of values and worship of ones stomach breeds a dangerous sense of entitlement that guarantees poverty and you know it.
Nigerians being automatically entitled, were most likely born in government hospitals, receiving subsidized care. They were driven home with subsidized fuel and fed on food processed by subsidized energy or imported with subsidized dollars. Their education was subsidized. Their lace and busicuits they sell or consume were subsidized. Their entire lives have been subsidized but now that the math is clear and we cannot continue to eat 90 percent of what we earn by selling crude oil, they have turned criminal again, forgetting that even their non-taxed status is a massive subsidy that is scarce in prospering countries they want to migrate to without a mental reset to know why those nations work.
Let us be careful hailing people who seize the propensity to steal and lack the desire to contribute. You could be their next victims.
