Musk, who is the founder and Chief Engineer, SpaceX, had tweeted on Thursday that his firm had extra ventilators that had been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in America,He tweeted, “We have extra FDA-approved ventilators. We will ship to hospitals worldwide within Tesla delivery regions. Only requirement is that the vents are needed immediately for patients and not stored in a warehouse.
The ministry tweeted, “Dear @Elonmusk @Tesla Federal Government of Nigeria needs support with 100 to 500 ventilators to assist with Covid19 cases rising every day in Nigeria.”According to the Nigerian Medical Association, Nigeria has about 500 ventilators nationwide, most of which are already in use., however, many Nigerians questioned the propriety of the Federal Government appealing openly on social media for ventilators.
“The N37bn budgeted for NASS renovation should be used to purchase ventilators. They won’t have constituencies to provide over if people die out of lack of equipment. This country under you people is in a mess because you have no priority at all,” he tweeted. @AriyoJoshuaOlus said the Federal Government ought to have used diplomatic and business channels to get such help rather than go on social media.
Worse thing so far
Not a crime to ask,but wrong tendencies always backfire
They keep fooling themselves, no wonder Nigerians are beggars because we are products of these clowns idiots.
Even FG dey find giveaway
Ehn let us beg in peace na. No be them foreigners bring am come?
the N37bn budgeted for the National Assembly renovation could have bought thousands of ventilators
Levels! Ahh. Nations begging a Man 🙆🏾♂️
If u voted for buhari in 2019 gather here. I wan check something
Beggars
What a laughable, ridiculous act from a disastrous government that comprises of shameless, detestable leaders! The same shitty government whose asshole senators & reps squandered tax payers money to buy 400 Toyota Camry 2020 model cars worth $10,000,000 for themselves recently!!
Dis country is fucked
Upon all the money they claimed to be recovering,this government is full of begging and borrowing. Nigeria is a very big joke.
They are begging to save our life's,We should try an see the positive side sometimes because right now even U.S are begging for ventilators because it is scarce...tnk u..support dem
Lmao, I love this headline
Always exposing themselves as idiots.
Instead to look to collaborating we have resorted to begging. Wasted leaders. BashirAhmaad shame on you.
No be only naija beg for am read the tweet a lot of other countries dey beg
What about the money our pple donated, what kind of government r we running,
Europe is begging who are we?
One thing they have been honest about so far
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Beggy beggy... e nor good o.. buy your own o... 👏🏿👏🏿.. patronize your own o
A counyry ruled by Almajiri 😢😢😢
Citizenship engagement is beyond this petty criticism. Pride goes before fall. If we have a need and someone is ready to render assistance, what stops us from asking. Stop this glorified pride and get what we need at this crucial time.
We should request for the design procedures and give to a engineering company here to manufacture them... You see, government refused to invest in Abba where those guys can make any fucking electronics. Now we are seeing the negative effect of hatred on your own people
It isn't a big deal.
Shameless fools.
Shameless government
Punch seff ehnn😂 Cover us naah....
This country will not embrace me
despite the malancholy state that we are nigeria will not learn lesson and rise to their task but ratherbelieve the are still baby shame to our leaders
What a pity. In reality, I believe it would make no meaning if the begging had produced results. We should stop castigating those we voted into political office any time the make a small mistake. Correct them and guide them to do the right thing
After all the money they contribute for the federal government almajiri
Innoson dey here o. They rather die than spend that money
😁😁
Shame on them..
Who curse the country for crying out loud?
With all the donations fed govt still de beg.. Smh
Make thunder fire una.. All the billions donated can’t buy ventilator bed abi? You people have resorted to begging so you loot more!
... begging for Ventilators from a private citizen of another country while your senators are earning almost $450,000 yearly is madness! Our leaders are cursed!
Can't you see what is going on in US presently. This is a shame, always receiving and never giving.
mateenoh It's a damn shame.
No shame in asking for help when needed particularly in critical situations, but when you think that innosonvehicles said he has capacity to produce ventilators, are we waiting for SA, Ghana & Liberia to buy up INNOSON VENTILATORS, before our eyes
FG Dey hustle giveaway too
What a shameful nation
A leader is a product of society go to renoomokri 's timeline now and you'll see people begging for money and you expect our government to act differently? We deserve this government cause we are the most u serious bunch of people in the world
Some wackos are justifying the FG tweet with an embassies tweet. Insanity
Very useless people
What is wrong with this our government, can't they buy enough ventilators with what philanthropist has donated, I pity this Nation
Fools! When innosonvehicles has offered to produce ventilators if the FGN make their order. E no go better for Nigeria unless the injustice done on the igbo nation is undone.
Mad o
If the billionaire grants their request they will turn around and write off the billions received through donation, ndi oshi
They should sell those cars that they bought,forget about their allowance and give all to the struggle and stop begging for what they can buy
Giant Of Africa for mouth... Audiogiant
Shame on our government
PatrioticNGRN , almanjiri mentality
What a Shame even the USA doesn't have enough ventilators for her own citizens.....if Lagos could set up isolation centers with over 100 ventilators then what the hell is wrong with the Federal Government then..? They are meant to lead the Nation...
No wonder...this public bambiala start from the top ooo..
Where are the looted billions of dollars
Lol
Shame on u punch for trying to shame d country. Many countries who have far beta stand Dan Nigeria are also begging them for help. Ur tym is coming
Innoson company put themselves out there to manufacture ventilators, but no you prefer cap in hand soliciting for it abroad. This is a wake up call for us to be self sufficient!
What are they planning to do with all the Billions of Naira donated to them
Insidelife 🤣🤐🏃
Innoson have proposed severally to use his car factory for production of Ventilators but becus he's not Dangote, he's IGBO.. death to Nigerians is better. We've told u people that corruption isn't Nigeria biggest problem, its Tribalism, Nepotism& Bigotry which Buhari personifies.
Now we see the result of bad governance, greed,naivety, stupidity and illiteracy. Why on earth would the 9ja government beg 4 ventilators from a billionaire when all past, present and future politicians are billionaires? COVID-19 is trying 2 revive our weak system of governance
Sad
I thought they were ready for this virus? How come we're already begging when we have less than 200 confirmed cases If other countries with thousands of cases are begging, I'll understand that they've run out of equipments, not Nigeria that just started. what did they prepare?
FG Lazy leadership
With all the contribution
He he he he What about your own billionaire and Africa richest... I remeber a movie titled 'I know what you did last September ' Lol
Smh! Nigeria government fa Iru awon adoju ti ni wo leleyi gan?🤦♀️
Useless FG ...i thought Innoson offered to build vent. Even if the man donate self them go still loot am ... useless government
What a shameful country
Let's embrace and improve on our technology advancement
When Innoson Motors can build same ventilators. What's wrong with Nigeria and her leaders? Let them keep begging instead of growing her own local technology.
Federal Government hin no go better for unah with the donations still begging for ventilators. Ahahahah
Why beg? Innoson Motors says he can produce these machines - ventilators. Can’t Nigeria 🇳🇬 partner with him(Innoson) to meet our needs and export to the outside world. We need leaders who have national pride in them!
Even of they get the ventilators free, they will still claim they buy them with billions of dollars. Its a shame!
Couldn't sugar-coat it a tad? Haba punch...😄😄
There's nothing wrong with the FG's request. Elon Musk said people should request. He said it on global twitter, publicly. Why are people criticizing the govt for asking. The number 1 public enemy in the US is Kremlin. They just sent a plane full of medical supplies to the US.
Where are ALL these donations
What about this?
Useless leaders Beggy Beggy govt
I thought musk offered to countries interested..so FG requesting means FG begged? guys do better with journalism na.. we cant be fighting corruption,boko,Coro...n u cant give us correct info..Shame..
Foolish journalistism. The tweet was more like order placement. Stupid punch
And what's the big deal in asking for the ventilator donation..Nigeria needs it for the rising covid 19..
Even the US and ukraine are begging for ventilators
Who else saw this
Won ti bara won je
Oloriburuku la won leaders wa sha, after buying exotic cars for house reps members worth millions. Why do we misplaced priorities 💔💔
Even America is begging for ventilators at this point in time.
What a shame...
So FG can beg the US for Ventilators, but they refused allowing the medical personnel in Nigeria to offer voluntary service to COVID 19 patients in the USA...what a Wonderment...Smh
It is not a sin to beg for a ventilator in a time like this even the most prepared Nation asks for help. What is important is for the govt to learn and know the importance of a healthy Nation. N15B donated by the rich is enough to do about but you can't separate govt&corruption.
Won ti she epe fun awon Nigeria government. Afi bi afishe. Ki won sha ma Tori / kon ma yaa. What are u guys doing with our money . U guys are disgracing us. A whole Nigeria. Stop begging other countries for things we can easily get on our own. Stop disturbing people. Fix Nija.
😭😭😭😭😭🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️💁♂️
Chai, why my mama born me here eee
Naija fed govt has turn herself to babiallah which one ventilator cost around $10k = N3.5m and it will them N1.7b to afford 500 ventilators yet they bought thereself 400 toyota Camry 2020 which cost around $35k each.. COVID19Nigeria COVID19 COVID19Pandemic
Lol, I trust the media
Beggers
Never imagined you can be this low, bigots
Nigeria is doing begibegi.
Begging ke. I no go ever shy to beg for give aways. even FG no get shame
On Twitter? And America is begging......
Hmmmm Nigeria
It is better to beg than to steal like pdp. Awon werey
What happened to funds FinMinNigeria earmark to finance & manage COVID19Pandemic COVID19 in Nigeria. FGNigeria NigeriaGov shld consider AlibabaGroup to buy Ventilator
Mz_keeke and you're doing shy girl to drop account number
Buhari is the useless man on earth, last year you told US not to interfere in Nigeria elections, today you are begging them for assistance. You are a joker.
My point is, you have hospitals here with no ventilators at all. Did we have to wait for a pandemic before having ventilators in our hospitals... You will visit a teaching hospital,they have just one or two.... While they use our money on cars and travels. God will judge
Did they begged to raised money to pay Jumbo allowances for the Honourables? Did they begged money for buying 2020 Camry? Did they begged to get the money they loot among themselves? Shameless people!
unseriouse government.. nawa oo
It is just surprising that the few in govt. that claimed to have contracted covid-19 are always boasting how strong they feel n ready to start work. I have been wondering if coro is an illness or power booster. Lying MFs. Everything is opportunity to lie n loot. No class/No shame
So unfortunately, where is the donations made by some Nigerians? When will you people stop disgracing and scamming us?
Hmmm. We're always begging. Na wahoooo
LadyToluu Shame!!! Where r d donated billions
Who did this to us 😔
that's fine
Lol..I thought our Ogas were donating money up and down.. so it's all audio money..
US currently battling with her own serious case of covid19, and u because of corruption and selfishness, Nigerian leaders could not take care of her citizens. Now pleading to US for ventilators when US her self are in Serious needs. Na wao
What's the news about this?
I’m not very good with Maths guys so please help me here. 1 Billion is roughly 2.5 million dollars. Correct me if i am wrong Let’s say a ventilator is $10,000 $10,000 x 100 = $1,000,000 So we can afford 250 ventilators from 1 of the billions donated. Is my Maths correct?
1Nigeria has turned to d no1 beggar of d world. They have brought Almajiri logo to shame us all. It’s a shame to be associated with 1Nigeria. 1Nigeria a Scam and a sin against humanity. Self determination is key!
BeggingFC....set awon mad dogs.
It's a shame,, what of the billions donated
They re from us now later adesina will say us is not d police of d world. What a country.
You still carry this one 😂😂 nawa for you oo, you can’t even hide their shame
Naija my country
I see nothing wrong with Nigeria asking for ventilators. We are in desperate times
NIGERIA IS NOW A BEGGAR NATION?!!!😳😳😳 When we say Northern Nigeria reeks of poverty and their leaders have nothing to offer besides poverty, we are called tribal. Now look at this! GOSH!
Nigeria, the only country we call ours!
'Begged'? They politely asked for assistance, same as the US, Italy, the UK and Spain have done. stop with the political headlines, you're not helping.
The most annoying part is that we have a company that can manufacture what they are begging for..... INNOSON MOTORS CAN
He's actually a South African.
I thought innosonvehicles said they are ready to produce ventilator. Please, let get our priority straight localcontent
are this country not richer than Nigeria..yet they are begging .. Ogun kill u all for This
RadioPaparazi Dis is wot happen wen u don't have leader in a country... Everybody is just ruling themselves
u people are Mad.. what about this. God punish you guys for this..
Our National Assembly budgeted about N50b for renovations and exotic cars and now begging for ventilators. Rubbish kawai
What a retrogressive development!
But Innoson said he can produce ventilators, but because he's igbo they ignored him, Nigeria playing tribal hatred with the life's of human's, the worst is yet to come, useless entity called Nigeria.
Ifyxlord See
God forbid.. just imagine how greedy they're, they most always show their selves.. 100 to 500 not even ashamed.. with all the monies u stole and took to their country? They will laugh at ur senseless Asses.. u stole or money and took to their country, invest in their country,
Africans always begging. You people behave like a cursed lot. Do something and rise above this mental and economic poverty.
NGRSenate NigeriaGov C una life. It was all about urselves, dis pandemic will teach us all a huge lesson. Pandemic + $20 abi $19 for crude oil, all d monies wastd on frivolities. D chicken has FINALLY cme home to roost n nobody aint going nowhia. We deal with dis shit TOGETHER
We are in Big problem
Our own billionaires dem Na audio?
Finance ministry headed by a Fulani almajiri .what do u expect begging is engraved in dia DNA right from childhood
Na so. Almajiri government
U are mad...Aswear to god u are mad useless people...Nigerians are the problem to Nigeria aswear....The guy offered it and we need every help we could get to defeat dis virus and u are here publishing this nonsense....I repeat u are mad
It’s a shame.. I’m disheartened. We’re in chaos
This’s truly disgrace of a nation. These corrupt politicians can drive around in convoys of SUVs with half of Nigerian police forces protecting them with their annoying sirens but can’t afford ventilators for the country. They have turned the country from borrowers to beggars
Punchhhh😂😂
See why Punch is no longer allowed into Aso rock. 😂😂😂
So what has happened to all the loots recovered? Cant some be channeled towards local production of ventilators?
It's now foolish govt not federal government. This begging mentality will not take them anywhere. People and organisations have donated money, can't they use it to buy ventilators? It's a pity!
What a show of shame. This FG should hide their tails between their legs. Disgraceful bunch
Why did Osagie lied to us as this Administration always do, that they are ready to tackle Covid -19 ? He should resign immediately!!! sackOsagie
The people involved in this rubbish will see 6feet painfully
y re dey beggin 4 ventilators wat happen to d osusu daily contribution pple contributed 2 dem n also d money dey hv beenbstealing frm day one dey should use it 2 buy ventilators n stop beggin re dis government re nt ashamed of dem selves? Na dog lick their faces haba shame
E don happen...... Oh no I came for giveaway now all Nigerians are dragging meeee
ayemojubar Almajiri government oh !!! Stop disgracing yourselves and get your priorities straight
Personally I don't GAF how we get it, cos you won't be having any problem from Feranmi so far we get it and we are able to battle this virus once and for all. Lord knows we can't afford a second wave like North Korea currently are.
Those money UBA, Zennith and other banks plus Dangote, Atiku, Tinubu ,2face, Na audio money... God save this country.
Corona virus does not emanate from Nigeria and I see no reason why peoples are venting their anger on federal government steps taking so far.
Shame on Nig.Federal Govt . All they know how to do is to borrow and loot.
Upon all the billion of naira donated for this same purpose. Haba!!!
Shame.
When you've refused to do do the needful in your 'OWN' country shame
Wonderful nation... Citizens go beg, FG go still beg! Descendants of Julius Beggars
Nigerian government no just get shame at all at all...
Very shameful if it is true
Shameless people. All progressive beggers.
Fix our medical facilities, ha ju, now we are all in this mess together. They can't rush to the abroad for treatment. The doctors they failed to pay are the ones treating them. Who the gods want to kill they first make mad.
This post is dumb. You have no idea how many life that extra '500' begged ventilators would impact
Begging for ventilators when the donations generated on COVID-19 can get some. You will just know that the funds generated will be looted. Greed sets of persons.
iamoskino Lol
itz_imaam
Absurd ... this matter is disgraceful
Begging Dying
