Popular media personality, Toke Makinwa has shared her reaction to the lockdown extension in Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja.

Toke wants the federal government to credit the accounts of Citizens of the country with at least N10,000 to reduce the effect of staying indoors for that long.

According to her, BVN is available to make things easier so the government just needs to be ready to make it happen.

She added that 14 more days of staying indoors will be a more difficult period than the last 2 weeks.

Her words, “Lock down, lock down the least you can do is credit everyone’s account, even if it’s 10k. BVN is available yet you want those who have resorted to being their own government die of hunger? 14 days more is about to bite even harder.”
