The wife of the Edo State Governor, Betsy Obaseki, has warned that diverting relief materials meant for the vulnerable in the society will further compound the current difficulties being experienced over the coronavirus pandemic.Mrs Obaseki said this while handing over some relief materials from the state government to representatives of various groups in Benin City, the state capital.
“These relief materials are meant only for the vulnerable in the society, it is not meant for those who can afford full lockdown in their homes. If we are careful coronavirus will not kill too many people in this country, but if we are not careful it is hunger that will kill people. That is why the government is taking these steps to do what they have to do,” she said.
They will be doing anyhow!
Where are the people you use to do 30 days, 40 days or even 50 days dry fasting yearly on the words of their spiritual Dady? Can't they replicate it here? I expected that they would have gotten used to fasting anytime the need arises.
Please instead of robbing the poor...bcus dey struggle to feed Please steal from politicians..
Hmm. Nigerians won't let hunger kill them. Instead they will disobey the lockdown. Already Nigerians distrust the govt. Thinking of the people who earn money on a daily basis hustling, selling for low profit, squatting in inhumane conditions. Hmm. If aid doesnt get to them ..
What are you people doing to stop the hunger?
Both the hunger and people killing because of hunger.
Hunger will not kill people, we will tend toward survival, then boom we will become lawless and willing to revolt. 'Kill' is an understatement. Hunger will unite people by force then you people in power will live in despair like you've subject us to all our lives😊
Mrs Obaseki's comment is correct because most Nigerians depend on daily income for survival
Those in power are inhuman , they have sold their conscience & only think about themselves, that's the reason they would wake up & make decisions without thinking about the impact on the poor masses, no provision was made yet they will kum on broadcast & tell lies to cover up.
Everybody knows this... Please all these hypocrites should stop talking... All we NEED TO HEAR is PRACTICAL &TRUTHFUL things you are doing about it all....
MBuhari jidesanwoolu pple are hungry, me i don't hv a dime in my account again Its frustrating . Other countries on lock down provide for their citizen. THIS IS FRUSTRATING! DO SOMETHING!
GovernorObaseki
Just stop this sanctimonious rhetoric. What difference does it make? Has bad governance not been killing people before Covid-19? We know truly who our spoke persons are.
That is why palliatives are put in place..Tell your husband to do same for Edo people. Except if u feel people getting infected is a better option as we see d no. of confirmed cases rice daily in Edo.
Please increase the volume for baba to hear with his cabinet,even the Senate and House of palliatives 4 masses till date
bankybanky One onisokuso of twitter said how many people has hunger killed, we will wait till hunger kill people before we act
The facts of COVID19 in Nigeria:(1) 90% resolve without medical intervention (2) less than 11 related deaths since February Nationwide. (3) Very very few cases required ventilators. This needless lockdown is the real disaster burying a comatose economy. Leaders should have wisdom
Hunger is already killing people, but lack of data and attention on Covid 19 makes it difficult for us to know
What palliative has governor Obaseki put in place? He keeps making broadcasts of we acquired ventilators, we're sharing foodstuffs but nothing is seen. Donations by PastorIzeIyamu who made a help line available that Edo citizens can call for food and other donors is available.
Doesn't she stay with her husband? She should warm him. He needs this advice
Tell your husband to inform Asorock.
imagine I have 2bn to giveaway, I will look inwardly to people so obvious they don't have. 100 to very poor families in moments like this, to me is more of a good deed than giving money to the government. .
Ni to talk take action
Is it that our government does not watch channels news or what any other news and see how hungry it people are or how it people are suffering. Where is their heart and conscience. This is too sad and it will be more sad when we start seeing dead bodies because of hunger
Hunger will kill people, not because there is no food oo But because there is no money to buy the food.
Lol.. the thing wey already don start. We can’t even sleep at night again or move peacefully during the day.
They don't mind if hunger kill us since it's not communicable. They are more concerned abt d communicable wahala so it won't get to to them. Naija my country!!!
Truck carrying food in FCT was attacked by Nigerians.This is a clear picture of hunger in the land
Nigerians are already dying of hunger Madam, impoverished for years coupled with a lockdown without social and palliative assistance, they are likely to come after the rich as previously predicted.
Hunger is already killing people and somebody open his mouth and said they are giving out cash from FG to only 3.6 million people, other citizens committed offense to be a Nigerian.
AnthoniaOrji Plz tell them ma, hunger virus deadlier than corona virus,
People are already dying
That's the truth talk
Death toll of Nigerians will rise, killings, robbery, hunger and clashes will outrage the country
Its already happening now in Bariga area of Lagos and now going to shomolu ... I pray nothing happen to my mother cos if it happens Gov should expect war.
The hunger don start already 3 pple has died bcos of hunger but d govt will say it is covid-19
I swr
People are almost dying things are not funny
This woman is right because Hunger virus if care is not taken it will kill more than corona virus
It is already killing them. But what do your president care?
It has started killing people already
these has forced young people to start invading homes. So it's a triple threat now, covid, Hunger or Armed robbery. God protect us
You are human Mama
Very Correct madam
Storry better tell your husband that we are OK
Tell them
Na now she just know that. Clueless people
What are you doing madam to help the hungry people ? Talk is cheap

I swear
When you use what is entrusted into your hands to give to the poor for your own personal gain, you are actually putting a curse on yourself bcos you will reap what you sow.
Thank you Ms tell them ooh
God bless you ma’am
True ma'am
As if her husband is doing something in edo State
You people haven’t seen enough videos of people dying in droves and being buried abi.. health comes before convenience. Its only when you are alive you can love and take care of your family. Give them virus and they’ll never forgive you 🙄🙄
Again
Hunger is started killing already that's why boys came out at night to rob. What the government don't understand is, once there's a break down of security , it will suffer more than it thinks its gaining now
Very true
Hunger virus Is killing already
Tell them they should not push us to the wall
All correct madam
