Dear @NigeriaGov and our billionaires, there are 40 million verified BVN accounts. If you can be remitting ₦5000 to these verified accounts every week, that's just ₦200 billion, Nigerians will manage in foodstuffs to survive the lockdown. Poverty is another killer. #Covid19Out.

Food, medicine and electricity are sacrosanct for human survival. If a pandemic can lead to lockdown, hunger is an epidemic that can lead to diedown. People must not be forced to die because of 'fear' or 'hunger'. Deprivation is deadlier than the virus itself. Let's help the poor

Temperature checking, using thermometers and hand sanitisers are measures too, but 80% of Nigerians are poor, food and medicine are their topmost priority. All security measures to ensure compliance with the lockdown will not last long as far as the poor got hungry. Pls help now!

All directive and sanctions for lockdown will only be formalities as far as people will be hungry and koboless at home. Uncertainty will surely erode public confidence, nobody will agree to die of hunger when they only hear about the virus but continuously feels the hunger.

Complete lockdown is impossible to Nigerians because they are already suffering & dying of Hunger. Therefore, intervention is necessary. Majority prefer to come out and die making for livelihood than stay indoors and die. Government & individuals must sacrifice everything now!.

Sharing money shouldn't just be during election or empowerment, this is the most daring time in our history. Nigeria afforded ₦150 billion for National Assembly, it means we could afford to give our citizens trillions in hard times as now. Dear @AlikoDangote pls start the move.

Nigeria is not the world, we cannot survive complete lockdown because we don't have their system and arrangements. Our people are hard but fragile on this angle. Nigerians will stay at home for few days and they will prefer facing the 'CoronaCovid' than dying of hunger.

Sir. K2.
