antitpiah:

Why are you so interested? I mean, its not as if you are getting pregnant any time soon? You know, you need to get laid first before you can become pregnant . . . and we all know, you aint getting shyt No dyck, no mcloving, nada . . . just some lakiriboto, self obsessed bytch you are

my beleoooooooo

SURE-P money was suposed to be used to rehabilitate d refineries and bring down d price of fuel in d country not for pregnant women. Cos many states have free packages for them like rivers state.

Talk is cheap

Well, this is a welcome development.

N5000 is becoming small change in Nigeria, thanks to 97naira per litre fuel, but its something.

Now, like i always say, if u dont overhaul a system, no matter what you introduce, the same bugs will bite. In essence, no doubt there'll be some form of corruption in this. It's a question of if its going to be large scale or medium scale corruption.

& I have to wonder when this will take effect.,

Another avenue for corruption. Numerouse ghost pregnancy n payments. Tjen later NASS committee on health will start public hearing to investigate the fund, after which the committee members will be indicted at the end.
The FG has lost focus. Just make Ante-Natal free and they will all be there.

That is a welcomeD development. The main aim of the Antenatal Allowance is to encourage pregnant women to go to Clinics instead of going to local native doctors, churches and other abnormal places for child delivery. UP GEJ, FRESH AIR!!!

yeye Government ...this is a means of increasing the population without means of cater for it...clueless dump...u better channel the money to say given unemploye graduate 5k every month for a number of years till the person get a job ,,,u are thinking of increasing population in thecountry by given out token 5k to every pregnate woman in the land of poverty GEJ U must be thinking out of ur sense....when really u ahve not pay my oldman retired federal civil servant pension of just 12k permonth....or rather u the budgeted 50billion for health care,good road and power.

if its true then they'll spend billions of naira in lag alone. Dem dey born lyk craze 4 hia

Dis GEJ is a joke, was he nt d one dat suggest population control and bring dis up wen he know 70 percent of nigerians are poor thereby will make dem to be gettin pregnant more often. Dis GEJ always do tins upside down, thinkin wit his anus, 9ja is in trouble

chrisxxx: This idea is nice. However a check should be put in place on the number of times a particular mother may merit payment to avoid population explosion in the north.

The idea is foolish!! Total bullsh*t!! Crap!! For how long r we gonna continue with this!!! We want quality but subsidized health care! Government is not an NGO, neither r we in crises!!!

Insulting GEJ is good business...... Keep doing great GEJ, Losers will keep hating...

@biliyonaier as clueless as GEJ...

Acidosis: Waste of Money.

Nothing works well in this country.

A government that can not pay pension as at when due. . .now trying to overpopulate the country where there is no job with common #5000.

.

U av a point Dear

Kai!(shaking my head). This government na wa o! So this is what their "common senses" told them is Nigeria's problem. My people, my thinking is that this is another avenue to settle some boiz up there. This money will be wacked weleke and five years down the line, a committee will be set up to probe "the disappearance of the antenatal allowance meant for pregnant women". Doesn't it sound familiar? Please if anybody can tell this government, let them use the money to build and equip hospitals in the rural areas where they are needed. Why must they always take us for fools!!!

What about allowance for pregnant men?

Come, where dis girl they, make we strt nw.

My dear oya letz go 2 bed i need to get u pregnant o, dat 5000naira must b ours, em em pls also call ur sister n our ngozi our neighbour to join us in d bedroom o, dis is d only way to multiply d money o

abeg this is nonsense and a huge waste of money. the highest concentration of child morality is in the north, coupled with illiteracy and lack of family planning. women there keep on giving birth constantly especially when one man has more than one wife, so is federal government saying that if a one wife decides to have six children they will pay, then when the second wife decides to have her six children FG will also pay. This is is just arrant nonsense.

instead of d gov'ment to start helpin the unemplyed graduates, they are encouraging over population....gej will not stop messing up..mtscheeeew

Misplaced priority, another avenue to eat our money. What stops them from using the same money to improve health care in the country? Even rich men who can afford to father thousand children will still line up to collect the cash? smh for this nation.

why the hasty conclusion, allow the project start first. We would still have time to evaluate it. Don't kill the child in the tummy, before it is been delivered. Bad mouthing government project is not the right way to progress.

This is a very welcomed idea by the government, Atleast the needy mothers will benefit from this. People in charge of these, should not see it as a means to embezzle funds ooo, cause na swear go follow them. Big ups to GEJ government.

Abeg help me tell them. GEJ we know.

I fink its because of sm northerners,their wives put 2 bed @ home which is very risky 2 both mother n child,a woman in Zamfara afta 9 children had a set of twin in d house but got so sick n was quickly rush 2 d hospital d next day she was placed on drip 4 three days n she survived it but when she got home her husband use a sharp machete to cut off her right leg n d reason he gave was dat she allowed a medical doctor(male) 2 touch her n even give her injection n dat its against sharia law while d educated ones r having their kids in d hospital some in UK or USA.only education can change their mentality but now dat dey've successfully bn brainwashed dat western education is forbidden, so d FG has no option dan to bribe dem wiv 5000g at least just 2 save d mother n her child..an educated man will not hv more dan 4 or 5kids @ most..if a rich man has 12kids but is able 2 cater 4 dem n sponsor their education at least 2 BSC Level den I hv no prob because dey will b useful 2 d country but a poor man will give birth 2 11 children n can't even send dem 2 sec sch instead of a plus dey r now a minus 2 our country..so I'll welcom dis FG's idea atleast 2 save lives n if finally BH is completely eliminated den we can educate dem n let dem know dat its better 2 hv ur baby at any good hospital dan 2 give birth @ home n also tell dem dat its not a sin because Abacha n d odas had their kids in d hospital n I doubt if its even Nigeria..Good day

hammedkola: But i think dem wan implement child birth control...wetin be dis one again?

thank u jor idiot Gej,mak i go gv my wife anoda belle'i hope sey d money go double if na twins pregnant

d fresh air no favour us jor'EMPLOYMENT IS ALL WE NEED

Expect more children from the almajiris. If 20 kids = 100,000naira. How many kids will give 1million? Let no of kids be x, now find x.

Haha na wa ooo I beg make dem just add one zero again to be 50000 naira omo I go give many gals belle oooo kai ol boy oga jona ur brain is truly upside down and full of sapele water

Just to tell you how clueless this people are; the same people proposing putting in place birth control measures are the same that want to be paying pregnant women.

i hereby prophesy an increase in childbirth.

This is not adding up at all. Pregnant women are meant to pay N26k+ for ante-natal in University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) a government hospital. If the idea is to encourage attendance to these ante-natal classes and thereby decreasing child mortality rates, how many pregnant woman can afford this kind of money in the first place to be able to qualify for N5k from the govt?

I took my wife to UPTH and you could see the crowd of pregnant women for the ante-natal orientation and half-way thru the class it was mentioned that the total amount to be paid was N26k+, more than 70% of the women just stood up and left! I'm very sure that half of those women will end up in local local midwifery homes. Instead of promising to pay N5k/monthly for attendance, I suggest they knock down the price of ante-natal registration first to say N10k to encourage attendance.

the community health centers are supposed to cater to lower income pregnant mothers.

not sure what obtains over there.

many of them dont even believe in prenatal anyway.

besides, i thought the mother and child hospitals offer free services to pregnant women.
