The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, has said the Federal Government has spent over $5bn since 2016 to fight poverty in the country.

The minister said this during the presentation of letters of engagement and electronic tablets to 248 monitors of the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) in Adamawa State over the weekend.

Farouq revealed that President Buhari has since 2016 backed his pledge to pull out 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.

This she said the President has done by committing $1bn through the NSIP to reduce poverty and inequality.

She further described as factual the data referenced in the President’s Democracy Day address, which said 7.5million people had been pulled out of poverty.

“I am happy to report to you that every year since 2016, when NSIP was flagged off, Mr President has approved that $1bn be invested into that sector every year (which aggregated is over $5bn).

“This is part of the measures the President has taken to fulfill his promise of bringing 100 million Nigerians out of poverty,” she said.

Where do you even begin to argue...

All they knew best is how to loot and squander, whether it's their men or women.
Nigeria is corrupt entity.

Quota System Minister talking nonsense.

You and Buhari have the same dullard brain


Spits

In DJ Khalid's voice Another one

Farouq revealed that President Buhari has since 2016 backed his pledge to pull out 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.

If Buhari has pulled 100 million Nigerians into abject poverty and penury please like this post.
If Buhari has pulled 3 Nigerians out of poverty please share I want to show the honorable minister something

As we heard that it was back then, so it is now that the only thing Buhari is good at is causing inflation and increasing poverty.

The audacity to claim what they never achieved is mind-blowing!

After a sane minded person take over the government in 2023 some of you will rot in jail mark my word you will tell who you spent 5billion dollar on later.

Ogun keeee this woman for me. Abi she want mention 500 dollar.

And people are still living in poverty in this country......
Expecially those Buhari and APC zombies SUPPORTERS....
One nigeria is for a foolish man....

There's God oooooo

Corruption must be heavy weight if they have been fighting and loosing

Not only $5bn, it's actually $5 trillion.
Mad people.

I would make a joke about the nigerian government right now


But it a waste of time, probably wouldn’t accomplish anything

Just list for us how the $5bn was spent in fighting poverty,
what ammunitions were purchased for this fight?
Did you finance new industries ?
How many new jobs were created?
How many people employed ?
And
How much of it was swallowed by snakes
and how much found their way to your accounts in Europe and America ?

Audio combat. Ordinary palliatives, we didn't say and they've spent their life savings fighting poverty? Na audio dealers full this regime

Story

shift jor


I did not collect my share

These people no get fear of God

Yes oooo

Thieves!
It was use to alleviate Buhari and his cronies I suppose

Noted

AND POVERTY KEEPS BEATING BUHARI SILLY IN THE FIGHTING RING.

HE'S YET TO WIN ANY ROUND SINCE 2016 HE STARTED THE FIGHT

Stupid woman

wow!!! this government is really trying ooo

they have succeeded in impoverishing the masses, that's an achievement.



God bless our darling daddy! BuhAk47

yes na. thats why nigeria is the best country in africa. thief

Smh

For themselves, yes. They truly fought the poverty.

For the masses, it is called Abstract Poverty Campaign(APC.)
If you know, you know.

Because as I read, a tuber of yam is now sliced for sale.

A worker, whose salary is ₦18,500.00k would need to survive in a country where to prepare concoction beans, you will need:

1 derica of beans is sold for ₦500.00k.

Now, will this person grind the beans to powder and sniff it?
OK. You can't even eat it raw. So you've got to buy the following to prepare your beans, and that's if you're on either[b]100, 010 or 001[/b].

1 litre of kerosene is ₦350.00k
Cameroun Pepper(don't bother going for fresh pepper) ₦50
Salt ₦100
Seasoning ₦20
Matches ₦30
If you don't have thread, you don jam am. Another ₦200.
Palm Oil ₦200
Onion ₦100

Now calculating these, you've spent ₦1,550.00k out of ₦18,500.00k, remaining ₦16,950.00k in just Day 1.

You'll be lucky if your office is just next door because conductors and drivers will not hear, "Oga abeg, help me."
NEPA bill is there.
Children fees too is there.
NEPA will brjng their bill even though they did not serve you electricity, and you must pay or you're disconnected.
The government will still request for water bill.
You must buy clothes for your children.
You must buy shoes.
Books.
Writing materials.
Wife too must get something.
Family will still demand for money.
Friends will ask you for loans.
Watchmen will request their pay.
Schools will demand PTA levy.
Herdsmen will still kidnap and be requesting for ₦1,000,000.00k which you have never seen in your entire life or else they kill the abducted.

And someone said Nigerians should be happy?
Happy over what?

Please the government have tried their best, but it is not good enough because they have only been fighting poverty privately and not for the masses. So it's better they stop forcing all burdens they will never bear on themselves and just let the people go.

What's the essence of keeping the masses in poverty but saying you're fighting poverty? What kind of poverty have you been fighting since 1960 that has refused to surrender or die?
Are you not tired of this poverty fight like say na Philistines them?

Abeg comot your chains.
We are tired of mortal kombat with poverty because this fight no gree end. Even Shao Khan self go don surrender since 1961.
We are barely living.
We are under pressure.
We are depressed.

Ah... some things are beyond discussing and this is one of such.
