Nigeria's Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning on Wednesday headed to Twitter to beg founder of Tesla Inc., Elon Musk, for ventilators.

The verified handled of the Ministry of Finance had subsequently replied that the government was in need of between 100 – 500 ventilators.

“Dear @elonmusk @Tesla Federal Government of Nigeria needs support with 100-500 ventilators to assist with #Covid19 cases arising every day in Nigeria.” There is a global scrambling for ventilators following the outbreak of the coronavirus. The coronavirus pathogen particularly affects the respiratory organs then the need for ventilators to treat the critically sick. Countries like the United States and China have ramped up the manufacture and supply of ventilators to deal with the growing cases of the disease in their countries.

Innoson motors says he can produce this ventilators , instead of making him do it , you are begging Tesla for it .. are you a beggar

Looks like we not alone anyway.

Is this not touching for a 'Country' not an individual or village/small community to be a single person (1) for a ventilator? Where is all the money accrued thru oil, custom, FIRS,University, Int'nal donors, Royalty, Mining, etc?

A country that budgeted N37B to renovate nassnigeria, presidency newspaper for N26,432,34, fuels for N132,199,558, N4.451 billion to repair State House buildings, Presidential Air Fleet N7 billion, installation of live television N792 million. We should not be begging.
