Have you become a day-dreamer ?


Jokes aside, news of this nature can almost make a person commit suicide.
Singapore was in the group of developing countries with nigeria at some point.

There was a time Ugandan government reduced the prices of petroleum products because, according to the government, the were lucky to get the product cheaper than they budgetted during an oil glot.
Nigeria is simply not a country but a jungle within an animal firm ruled by semi-beasts.
Nigeria's hope lies on us, you and I

bros I guess you don't understand what he is saying.. We should put education first not religion.. My lecture in South Korea once told me that Nigerians believe in religion while the believe in education.. That's just the truth.. The funniest thing is that the man saying this is a Catholic just like me.... He was in Nigeria for two years n he can tell you all about Nigeria.. We need to change..

You know nothing about politics, keep shut if you don't know what to say. How much your sponsor gave you to sell your right since 1999 and those people liked your senseless comment. Ask them in Singapore if they collect bribe before voting.

What impress me is the ideology and method of sharing based on your income which I think is a nice one.
Am beginning to think this Christian and Islam people way too over rated. If a bhuddist can think of this, am wondering why the highly rated Christians and Islam's will be carry quoran n bible head but no action.
People just criticize daddy freeze for nothing, look closely at his statements, he is not always far from the truth if not the truth.

Singapore To Give Citizens Above 21yrs A Sum Of $300 Each Because Of Excess Budget - Freeze Reacts

Singapore is an example of a nation that became something out of nothing. Out of just good managerial kills and political will, Singapore was able to turn their already doomed future around in the 70s and they have not become a country to recon with.

Singapore announces plan to pay bonus to all citizens after surplus budget of almost $7.6 billion. All Singapore citizens aged 21 and above will get a one-off “SG Bonus” of up to S$300 each as the 2017 budget came in with a surplus of almost S$10 billion (US $7.6 billion).

Finance minister Heng Swee Keat made the announcement during his budget speech in Parliament, describing the bonus as a “hongbao”, the Mandarin word for a monetary gift given on special occasions. He said this “reflects the government’s long-standing commitment to share of the fruits of Singapore’s development with Singaporeans”, according to Channel News Asia.

The “SG Bonus” will cost the government S$700 million (US $533 million). The bonus will be paid according to people’s accessible income. About 2.7 million people will get the payouts, which are due by the end of 2018. Those with an income of S$28,000 or below will be eligible to receive S$300, those whose incomes ranging from S$28,001 to S$100,000 will receive S$200, and those with incomes in excess of S$100,000 will receive S$100.

Singapore’s revised budget for fiscal 2017 showed a surplus of S$9.61 billion, thanks to contributions from statutory boards and higher-than-expected stamp duty. The surplus will also be used in other ways. Heng said S$5 billion will be set aside for the Rail Infrastructure Fund to save up for new railway lines that Singapore is building. Another S$2 billion will be set aside for premium subsidies and other forms of support for Eldershield, an insurance scheme that helps senior citizens with severe disabilities to cope with the financial demands of their daily care.

Singapore became an independent republic in August 9th, 1965. Facing severe unemployment and a housing crisis, Singapore embarked on a modernization programme beginning in the late 1960s through the 1970s that focused on establishing a manufacturing industry, developing large public housing estates and investing heavily on public education.

By the 1990, the country had become one of the world's most prosperous nations, with a highly developed free market economy, strong international trading links, and the highest per capita gross domestic product in Asia outside Japan.

Daddy Freeze reacted to the news as follow;

Ironically, Singapore is a predominantly Buddhist nation and they are sharing the equivalent of N100k ($300) to every adult citizen after surplus budget.

All these were achieved without tithing or 50day fasts! Nigerias please learn from this! When some Goat overseers decided to gather to pray for Nigeria I knew that our foolishness had reached its all time peak!

I think is high time Nigeria and Nigerians put the issue of religion in perspective in other to grow.

Let it be known to our uninformed youths that civil servants in Nigeria received similar distributions which was called Udoji awards.

Nigeria will regain its greatness soon after the failed looting generation of leaders die off on the next 10 or so years.

Singapore is a success story of what a divided Nigeria could have been; one Biafra goes; there will be a competition among the old Nigeria state there by providing economic growth to each smaller nation.

We must remember that Malaysia unanimously sent Singapore packaging from the union; 30 years later; I wonder who is the boss
