The Federal Government has withdrawn the plea made by the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning demanding ventilators from a United States'...

The Federal Government has withdrawn the plea made by the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning demanding ventilators from a United States’ billionaire, Elon Musk in order to provide treatment for the Coronavirus patients within Nigeria.

“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,” his tweet read. Following an immediate backlash from the public, however, Yunusa Tanko Abdullahi, the Special Adviser to the minister on Media and Communications, issued a disclaimer that the unauthorised post made with the ministry’s verified Twitter handle is regrettable and therefore brought down.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

We can go ahead and build our own. This will be the beginning of our equipping our hospitals by ourselves. If others can do it, we can. Ask the Minister of Science and Technology?

It is too late to cry when the head is cut off

You don't regret traveling to UK for treatment. Travel Na let's see

Wona never see anything

You and who dey regret? Please just mention your name on....radarada....who doesn't know it is for your own venture..they aren't fools like you who doesn't prepare until last minute... THANK ALMIGHTY GOD who gave us a Fighting body that can withstand against all odds.

I pray those US billionaire will tell you how wicked, selfish and greedy you are to Nigerians. We are all in together. God will judge everyone of you

Y r u regretting? A country where cattle life worth more than human life, graduates r been turn into cooperate beggars with a clueless president turning d whole country into a zoo as the “president’s” wife address us. D question is: Are we nt ashamed of this shameless government

No need to regret. Trump went down low to accept medical supplies from Russia. It is what life is all about, when you do not have, you humble yourself in asking.

U people just need some shame, you are buying camry2020 to your lawmakers yet you are begging for ventilators. How sad that a bunch of jokers found their way to governance

But you prefer buying luxury cars

You don't need to regret, we needed help and you asked for it. What's wrong with that?

if we are still begging for ventilators then what are they using the money donated by people for? Fucked country

Why regretting?

Its okay Just do the right things that needs to be done.

Old fools, animal set of people

ngrpresident femadesina profosinbajo Group of monkeys and demons. Una go cnt to beg until nigeria fall thebiafratimes RT : COVID-19: We regret begging US billionaire for ventilators- FG

Why do you ask for the first place we have the capacity to buy

Una dey find giveaway na

A typical medicine after death approach.

Then answer the calls of Nigeria!!!!!!

It's because you don't thinks well before you take decisions

The orientation of those who decided to go and beg on behalf of Nigeria caused it. On inception, they continued without getting any alms until they were disgraced. Oil revenue cannot avail anymore.

Almajiri government

Nothing kills faster than pride. No body or nation is above requesting/accepting assistance if someone is willing to offer. elonmusk offered ventilators to help save lives not to condemn or praise a govt.

Innosun motors to the rescue we could provide the loan requested to start manufacturing ventilators. This way we won't have to beg but also earn big by selling to neighbouring countries.

Begi Begi almajiri-style government

I think one of our problem with our so rich people is there weath is mostly save in their international banks. now it can secular again. We are now begging for what we already have....

We are now international beggers

Regret shit ...nonsense

Reading the tweet I know is not officially coming from the government... the handler of that twitter handle need to be sack.

The minister have since the deburnk the news and say that the tweeter handle that make the request is not her ministry handle. Guys make wuna read news first before coming and start insulting people abeg.

if USA can beg Russia,Italy beg Cuba and Germany,Netherland beg china,carry go naija beg anybody all we want is result please

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 child's play

Another newspaper said south Africa which one US or South Africa...

Misplaced priorities. Hypocrites

Yeeero naija don finish🙆

And if na PDP or opposition nii...na trash una go dey talk ...see lets seek help where we can...no let us do pass ourselves

In the first place why did you beg?

But we have billionaires...what are they doing with their billions? It's sad that we can't produce nose mask ...must we beg for everything?

BashirAhmaad how are you doing. Greetings!

This country is just a joke!!!😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

🤦🏻

Noinsense🙆

Bunch of charlatans. Useless government.thr the only solution to Nigeria problem is nothing but disintegration

Rather than give Innoson just 1billion to build ventilators you decided to beg

How is the Nigerian Media really helping the government to fight this Coronavirus battle?

Shey dem don turn beggars, kontinue.

If it’s GEJ regime,u will ask d minister to resign or even d President to resign. Do same.

Kilode Why the regret🤷

After FG finish regretting let those Nigerians who discouraged them from begging manufacture the ventilators needed .The world is sick and needs help. Even Jesus took bread and fish from the little boy to feed crowd. Begging at this time is not bad.

Shame on you.

Mad people

In a sane clime whoever gave that shameful directive would have resigned but no, this are senseless set of people's administration

U people just like insorts apparently 😂

Where are the handles that were writing threads saying no shaking?

God why?!! 😭😭

An unauthorized post on the official handle of a govt agency? Lying liars always telling true lies.Shameless people that dont know how to lies Thought the govt once said 'nobody made US the world police' and that US should not interfere in Nigeria's domestic

This a reflection of the quality of thought leaders there are in this forsaken administration. The lot of them won't even succeed at being bank tellers for half a year

Isn’t this government shameless? Haaakkkqqq !!😭🥴

Hehehehehe,

Ajanakujunior This people are playing with Nigerians image, imagine nonsense mistake

What type of country was I born into?

lagos_chairman CHINAEZURUM dre_neddy

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

'UNauthORIZed pOST' lol.

SMH

Una first get sense. Who will respond to ur alms begging when they see how u embezzle money. Shey u people are begging for more money to embezzle. Nonsense.

I'm sure this is a fake news cos I read the tweet and Nigeria wasn't the only country that solicited for ventilators, this is a time no country can boldly do yanga cos we are all fighting an invisible enemy so get out

🤣 🤣 🤣 Jokers

The height of administrative in-orderliness

Begging for ventilators is not the issue. The nonchalant manner in which the request was made via a tweet speaks volumes about the 'anyhowness' of your govt. The request ought to have been sent in a more professional way expected of people representing a national govt.

Please anyone in charge of fund for this so call Covid - 19 should be very careful, this is not time to make money or play game, remember Elisha and Gehaze in 2nd King 5

Bambiala is in their DNA

See mumu people. 😂

YemieFash dey av realised their mistake sir😂😂😂
