akinbros: Nice Idea.. However, we are moving away from that place where the Government builds and operates businesses. History has shown us that it does not work. NNPC, Ajaokuta, NEPA, NITEL, e.t.c are all glaring examples of our Governments failure in this regard. With an extra 400 Billion Niara running circles in our economy, we will need local businesses that will have to provide 400 billion Naira's worth of services so inadvertently, these industries will come. Imagine the One-Egg-Per-Child Program alone takes 100 Billion out of that 400 Billion Naira, that means we will need to have local farms producing 100 Billion naira worth of eggs per month. That means more Chickens.. Probably more than our local demand needs, therefore we will start exporting. I am not an economist, but I know that Economics is not a straight science. I have a gut feeling that if this is genuinely implemented and monitored, it could be very good for us in the long run. 1 Like |

waice6571: My brother these are children we are talking about not men, they deserve to learn free from hunger, labs, hi tech or whatever facilities are placed in the school would be useless if the student lacks a primary need such as food and as such would pay little attention to those things and remember those who can afford to feed their children well have them in private schools and it would take a while before most Nigerians will get to that level . This is a very welcome development because we are educationally backward not basically due to lack of infrastructure or conducive environment but because most went through school (of any level) just with the hope of avoiding hunger hence killing creativity. 1 Like |

koboko69: I live a better life in my God's give capacity. Show me a suffering child and I will show you an irresponsible parent. I'm saying this because of people like you who has resigned their life into perpetual lack and want and regularity of salary. You guys never want to adventure your life and live above obscurity and mystery of Poverty. No wonder you and your likes and your children are waiting for free food which will latter upturn you life to be a perpetual political objects. From day one I was not deceived. Drop this idea of free food,the end thereof is grinding lack and frustrations. Lastly, Even though ain't big fan of Buhari yet ain't a hater! |

Those criticizing this policy are just sadists, when has feeding poor little children become a crime for God's sake. Sometimes as Nigerians, we feel very intelligent but we are not, we just criticize out of our biased minds. |

originally: This is not always the case. Even in countries where parents are mega empowered, it is not a guarantee that children will have decent balanced diet that will enhance their well being. That is why even in these advance countries, government still feed the children in public schools. This is also a UN/UNICEF backed program under the United Nations World Feeding Program - https://www.wfp.org/school-meals 1 Like |

My own take: it's OK we argue for or against such Programme but then with or without ideology party/government do have different approach to issue, so I think it is their own conviction to tackle malnutrition, unemployment, out of school children, wealth creation etc using such means. it however doesn't show that the government lack idea or is confused because even if they go the other way it has it own disadvantages. |

Izonpikin: Bros, 1. Both are and serve different purpose 2. The feeding program is targetted at pry 1-3 for starters. This is the formative years where kids need to feed well to be able to develop a learning capacity from well nourished diet 3. The government has stated that there are some free tuition programs, especially for science and technical courses 1 Like |

akinbros: Bros, It's been proven over time that government overt involvement in business has been a near, if not a, disaster. 400 production companies will run aground pretty fast. MKO once said "government should have no business in business". Truth is primary school student are pretty hungry. You need to leave your comfort zone and go streetward to see that in many families they can hardly boast of 3meals a day. 2 Likes |

waice6571: Bros, This your position of yours is simply sentiments in these context. Are there irresponsible parents? Definitely there are. Should there children continue to suffer? Hell no. The little the government does to give their children a hope for the future is in education. So why should they not. Besides not all parents of these children are irresponsible. Many are exremely poor, while many do not believe in education. Many will rather send their children to be house helps or child labour. Those are part of the target 2 Likes |

UNICEF is a government of which country? none, its an international non governmental organization majorly funded by nations whose government has empowered itself and it citizen and they in turn are helping feed developing nations like Nigeria. now ask urself, 93billion naira to Feed 18 states for 200 days, how much to feed 36 states for 500 school days? with this projection, do you see Nigeria competing with strong nations of the world in 10 years? |

deji15: Olodo rabata! You are part of the problem not the solution! In these hard times times, public funds should be put to the most judicious use and not to sponsoring stomach infrastructure to garner cheap popularity! We are well aware of the ailing state of infrastructure in the educational sector. Decrepit classrooms, leaking roofs, empty libraries , etc. Should chairs and tables not first be provided to students who come to school and sit on the floor or free text books provided for them to study with or even free laptops instead of this white elephant project of feeding? Why does this government keep seeking ways to deceive the masses?? |

mapet: Sentimental judgement? NO! Just that many of us are too scared of facing the reality of life and therefore take advantage of vulnerability of children to score some points. many of you are driving me towards emotional point of view and far from honest judgemental view of the programme. All I'm asking for from the government is a level playing ground for all. Let them ensure that the basic social amenities were available and accessible. Let all sector of economy be functional. Let them create an environment where boko haram will not come and bomb the children in the school while feeding them or NDA creating problem and crying victim at the same time. Let them face the core of our problem in this country and avoid excess luggage of feeding 20 million school children. If some of these issues were fixed, Then we can separate between lazy parents and irresponsible parents and we can now determine the real people that the program is beneficial to. Let us stop generalising it. Balanced diet for 20,000,000 school children is ridiculous and unrealistic especially in an economy where Naira is officially devaluated. This program is obviously politically motivated and not merit based and its a certified D O A. QUOTE MY WORDS IN DECEMBER AFTER THE DEMISE OF THE PROGRAM. Let us stop asking for crumbs. Crumbs are for dogs not the children. I'm not a sadist I only know exactly what I want and not ready to settle for less. Thanks |
