A brilliant writeup.

A country does not develop through social welfares such as this. This type of social welfare is for an already developed economy that can afford to throw endless money into an endless pit which this situation is likened to.

Paying 5K monthly to the poorest people and feeding all the school pupils does not eradicate poverty, rather it increases it! it creates a feeling of dependency and encourages poverty. lot's of funds are expended in these schemes, but at the end, the country will gain nothing if you look at the bigger picture.

Rather than use the non available funds for these schemes likened to pouring water in a basket, the government should as the OP said give out loans to people who merit it and who would build big business and employ labour in doing so, oil the wills of capitalism.

While capitalism does have it's bad sides, it's the honest to God way we can get out of these rut.

It's a dog eat dog world. There will always be poor people and 5K will not make anyone rich over night, but will surely put the country inside serious gbege!

Capitalism rocks baby!

The brainless Daura President is empty upstairs. We dont expect him to understand how it works when simple calculation is involved.

Pope22:
Selected youths? Why sleceted? Which means the number of the youths to be paying this controversial 5k will be like this:
Hausa - 85%
Yoruba -13%
Igbo - 2%

Which means pple like me won't even smell the nonsense.

A MATHEMATHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED #5000 STIPEND FOR THE UNEMPLOYED NIGERIAN YOUTHS WITH A SUGGESTIVE WAYFORWARD......falemara bidemi.

Peace be unto every eyes reading this insightful write-up, permit me to begin with the quotable quote;
"As we look forward into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others---Bill Gates...

Yes, we thank God the change a larger chunk of Nigerians so much crave is finally here with the emergence of Gen Buhari as President and Prof Osinbajo as Vice President respectively. Part of the agenda of this regime is the implementation of the 5000naira monthly stipend for unemployed Nigerian youths, this sounds laudable right..

Yes, it has been decleared that the government is hoping to pay 5000naira cash to 20million various bank accounts of some selected jobless Nigerian Youths, the yardstick for the selection, I don't know.
Now let's go mathematical, 5000naira * 20million proposed beneficiaries = 10billion naira monthly..
10billion naira * 12months = 120billion naira expended on this social scheme.
I can categorically opine that this proposed project is dead on arrival owing to the following assumptions:

(1). The Eventual Politicking of the Scheme..
Take it or leave it nepotism is an intrinsic nature of the black man, which might not likely change for centuries to come.
Ex President Jonathan actually meant good with his Sure-P scheme but it was later on hijacked by party faithfuls who diverted it for selfish ends and bet it, APC is not an exception. An average Nigerian Politician is gullible and selfish. Don't be suprised, you will eventually have to go begging a local party co-ordinator for a slot and don't be suprised, an influencial party chieftain will have a thousand slots linked to his pocket with different names.

(2). A Poignant Backlash from Unconsidered Applications.
Let's be truthful, there is no perfect system anywhere in the world. During the course of selecting the beneficiaries of this scheme, some merited applications would surely be omitted and trust Nigerians backed up with FOI bill, they would practically pull down the government on twitter and facebook with various caricatures and despicable articles.

(3).The OsunState Specimen..

Baba Kabiru actually embark on social welfare programes such as the O' meal, O' arugbo, O'Yes e.t.c.. It first looks good but the resultant effect is now O'Debt...You don't dish out fish rather, you teach people how to fish themselves thereby making ends meet..

4). Advent of Wastefulness and Irresponsibity among Youths.
The money is meagre I agree but it could still afford a reasonable quantity of Goldberg, Trophy and Orijin bottles (little money sooner spend eh) but before You lavish that which you work for, you will surely think twice, infact the Oloshos will receive the 5k cash from the guys that same night the alert is received.
The government should dispute this by conducting an independent survey into the sales level of bars, eatries, lesiure spots, brothels e.t.c, 3days after the payment of the stipend...

SUGGESTED WAY FORWARD..
(1). Heavy investment of the proposed money into infrastructural development.

As at 1989, the Ado Ekiti textile industry has the capacity to employ 7500 workers both directly and indirectly, so unfortunate kodurosoke converted it into shops.

The Oluwa Glass Industry at Igbokoda as at 1996 has the capacity to employ 13,000 workers directly and indirectly.
I could go on till you say stop to mention various moribund industries which, if revitalitized will mop off an appreciable chunk of youths from the labour market.
Other industries and infrastructure could as well be intiated and developed into international standard to meet export requirements..

(2). Avalability of Repayable Non-Interest Loans..

Of course, God has blessed us in Nigeria with intelligence and a distinctive drive for success..
The Government should provide a reliable scouting network to hunt for talented and hardworking youths, then make available this loans to them with punnitive measures put in place to punish defaulters.

BENEFITS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED WAYFORWARDS.

1). Rise of SMEs (small and medium scale enterprises)..

With the provision of the non-interest loans, Nigeria will witness a boon in SMEs.

2). Government will be able to boost internally generated revenue through taxes from employed individuals, SMEs and esthablished industries.

3). More business will thrive due to a corresponding increase in the purchasing power of the masses.

4). Rise of the Bourgeoisie.
There is nothing as middle class in Nigeria, it's either you are rich or you are poor, but if these measures are taken into consideration, the bourgeoisie shall rise which signifies a developed economy...

APC should watch wat they promise. U will realize the real population of Nigerians living in abject poverty as soon as its implemented. This is above 60m people.
Do the maths by 5ooo. Hmm this govt. Should know the sooner its starts. Reversal becomes an issue, the subsidy is still in a dilemma today. Watch wat you bite u might end up not chewing it at all.

omowolewa:
What you see is economics, what they see is politics.

The scheme may work but for a little time.

How do we control the child birth which is an essential variable of the scheme. Guess the scheme won't see Nigeria father contesting on procreation, while others keep small family. Simply, inequality!

How do we teach our youth on fishing rather than giving them fish?

How do we stop that scheme from growing into another 'subsidy scam'?

How do we reliably gather the data usable on that project?

Why not Mechanized agriculture, why not empowerment, why not industrialization? Can't government acquire lands for large scale agriculture through PPP.

Basildvalour:
Nice calculations, computations and suggestions. I quite agree with you on the workability of this scheme; its not realisable BUT targeting the money on infrastructure development will raise eyes for corruption as the cash passes from hand-to-hand.



The money should just be kept with the CBN and they can start off from there in achieving their aim whatsoever they may decide.

The scheme will be in phases where someone graduates eventually.

Will graduating mean getting a job?
