Ukraine has been fighting a war with Russia, which the world is aware of. Recently, President Zelensky of Ukraine was seen begging countries around the world to help give them weapons so that they can continue the war. That when the war is over, they will pay it back. Many sad things are happening in Ukraine at the moment, which lots of people are aware of. So giving Nigeria grains which Ukraine may have kept for so long in their warehouse as a gift looks somehow to us. Though they did well for choosing to give their grains to Nigeria because of the hunger in the country, but there are other countries in the world that are worse off than Nigeria; such grains should have been given to those countries and not Nigeria. In our opinion, we regard such a gift as a trap, which is the truth: take it or leave it. The people of Nigeria will discover the truth in the near future. Even if there is hunger in Nigeria, certain gifts should not be taken from a country that is fighting a war; instead, politely say no to such a gift and find solutions on how to solve the economic problems of your country. Now hear this: there was a time when France was moving around trying to give out gifts to some countries on the continent of Africa, but those countries in Africa rejected it and asked France to take their gifts elsewhere. We had expected a similar thing from Nigeria, which the leaders of the country did not do; instead, they accepted the gift from Ukraine. Again, those Nigerians who said that Ukraine’s gift to Nigeria is a national embarrassment have every right to say so. Nigeria is supposed to be helping Ukraine, not the other way around, since they are fighting a war.
