The covid-19 pandemic was a tough one in my country and all over the world, it affected the economy of my country and the world at large, resulting to millions of people lossing their Jobs and means of lively hood. It affected business owners and low income earners more in my country, and the government helped by giving out grants to business owners and low income earners, although not everyone was able to benefit from it but those that were lucky to get it was able to make good use of it. As they could afford to feed their families from it. Loans with low interest rates were also provided by the government, For people who are in business and those who are interested in starting a business, which many people also benefited from as well. Please share with me in the comment section below the things your Government did during the pandemic to help it's citizens and the economy of the country.

Last year during the lockdown our government gave a financial aid of $160 to poor people. The problem was the description poor people is not clearly defined. Many who do not deserve received the aid and many who deserve failed to receive. This year there is another financial aid but only $120 and I don't know the beneficiaries if the same or not.

My country is too selective, only the selected known people in the country where given loans to assist in their dying business. Why the average and the low earning business owners wasn't even given a listening ear to grant them their own relief funds to enroll into business and improve their fading business initiative. My country is only favouring the rich, and making the poor masses to suffer more. We suffered a lot during the pandemic, nothing was given to us to survive as they locked us in to die in the house, only God intervened and ended the pandemic for us, now we are suffering from inflation and deflation.

Thanks for your response, I guess this happens every where around the world. People who are in need of the money do not get it, those who are not in need of it are usually the beneficiaries. What do you think is the cause? In my country I will say bad governance, although some people say it lack of information but I do not agree.

This is a very Big issue in my country. Till now, in Nigeria many people that applied for covid 19 Grant are yet to receive their money. Thou, during the pandemic, some foodstuffs were brought to people to share but some were expired and some foods like 20 bags of rice were brought to be shared amongst over 1000 people. We later discovered that many food stuffs were hauled in some hiding ware houses that was later uncovered which caused a lot of havoc in many states in Nigeria. We also heard that some received some amount of money from the government but we didn't know if some set of people were seleted specially. But as for me and my family, we didn't receive a dime from the government and no body that is close to me received any money.

My sister, that is the country we find ourselves, the country where the leaders do not care about the well-being of their citizens, the country where the government those not value the lives of its citizens. What do you expect, the palliatives ment for the masses where kept and some of they where using it as souvenirs during their events. It's saddening.

Its never easy at all, palliatives where given to the rich and the poor masses suffering. I never got to see in my locality, where the government spread palliatives to the people, we suffered all through the days of covid19 here in my country when it was red hot. Now it is not like that, it has fallen adrift, and we are free now, normal activities continues.
