Many Nigerians have taken to social media to call on the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to pay palliatives through BVN following the extension of the lockdown order.
Dickson blog recalls that President Buhari had during a national broadcast on Monday and extended the stay-at-home in Lagos, Ogun and Abuja to another 14 days.
However, the president revealed that the conclusion was taken in order to curb the spread of disease in the country.
Meanwhile, due to the extension, some Nigerians took to their twitter pages, telling the led-government that each person should receive at least N20,000 via the billions that was donated from private individuals and firms.
See some tweets below;
BVN is basically to address identity theft. According to NISS, 38.5 million accounts has BVN identity as at 2019 which means there’s a database... If Namibia is said to pay their citizens ‘reliefs’ for COVID19 through their bank accounts, why can’t the Nigerian govt #PayusviaBVN?— Series Abíọ́dún ♠ (@Engr_Series) April 14, 2020

How can you lockdown 3 states and be sharing money in states that aren't on lockdown?
Why embezzle at every chance y'all get???
Nigerians are having hard times for crying out loud!#payusviaBVN
We no longer have money. We no longer have food. We can’t be at home and eat nothing. Pay us via BVN or else hunger will kill us before coronavirus! @MBuhari #payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN— BeksFCB (@Joshua_Ubeku) April 13, 2020
You want us to maintain social distance & stay safe off the pandemic, understandable! But not for another 14 days with no source of income— YH (@Yemihazan) April 13, 2020
NCDC having our number means the govt can get to us, our welfare is vital & BVN is a good means#payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN
You think Buhari's government does not know that paying via bvn is the easiest and most transparent way they can pay us? They know. Their only problem is that with this method, adequate accounts can be kept about their expenses and they won't be able to steal much. #payusviaBVN— DR.PENKING™ (@drpenking) April 14, 2020

The Poor woman might not have a BVN but her children wld hv. The struggle is no longer 4 d poorest of the poor alone, even d middle class would suffer from today because their source of livelihood isn't steady any longer. We pay our taxes.

Well, paying the palliatives via BVN is the simplest and transparent way of serving all citizens who owns a bank account but the question is that most vulnerable families who need the support most are unbanked, how would the palliatives reach them? #payusviaBVN— Z A N N A H✨ (@__usyy) April 14, 2020

Canada pays $2000 to every family to cater for emergency bills and food
All we're asking from the FG is at least 20k to be paid into our account via BVN.

Many have families to feed and many they depend on, if you must extend the lockdown make us of the BVN to aid survival. @MBuhari#payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN— YH (@Yemihazan) April 13, 2020
@MBuhari it's very easy for you to come and give a speech saying we should go on another 14 days lockdown, but have you thought of how these people are going to survive pic.twitter.com/QloSWgCFhG— E B I T U'S A S S I S T A N T™ (@OfficiaLIfyarts) April 14, 2020
About time they explain to us the reason they have our BVN and can’t send us money through the BVN. #payusviaBVN— Top 9 (@Fuomatic) April 13, 2020
All of a sudden, our BVN is becoming obsolete to the Govt but na lie una dey lie. This is the reason why you pushed us to have BVN but you didn’t know it. So now the times has come for its usefulness #payusviaBVN— DADDY JLO (@Femillionairee) April 13, 2020
