Nollywood actress, Ruth Kadiri has appealed to the Federal Government of Nigeria to disburse the sum of ₦5000 to every Nigerians.
The actress made the appeal in a video she posted on her Instagram page.
“This is a message for the federal government, “Your Excellency, too much respect from my end. Coronavirus is a pandemic that we all never expected, but it’s here. And I pray that this message gets to you somehow.
I beg you, we know Nigeria is able. You all brought up the policy of BVN, we all have all our BVN, I have more than five accounts but they all operate on that one BVN. Please even if it is N5000 monthly , put it in our accounts, I promise you we will stay at home. Even if it is N5000. People are not working anymore to be rich, at this point, people are working to survive. And you’ll be amazed what N5000 can do in the life of somebody and then family members.
Because the truth of the matter is that we have never fought a war like this. The army, the police, the doctors, the lawyers, the teachers, every single person needs that N5000 now. I promise you, you have no idea. People will stay home when you tell them to stay home, if they know that at the end of the month they will get N5000. They will manage it, we will manage it, I will manage it.
I promise you, I beg you, don’t say you are giving the poor, No!! At this point, every single person needs, because nobody is working anymore, sources of income have closed. Other countries are taking care of their own, please take care of us.
Look into our BVN numbers, put N5000 there monthly for each and every person. When you tell us Nigeria is on lockdown, we will sit at home. Thank you”
