i think say Buhari stubborn?

Daring the militant leaders and bypassing them is still stubbornness.Buhari's love for the grassroots has gingered this direct payment.The militant leaders can go to hell,now that is positive stubbornness.#FireonBuhari!

such a pity

the human condition

APC proposes N5000 for unemployed youths, yet pays millitants N65,000.

Who started the payment?APC or PDP?In the past the foot soldiers were shortchanged by their militant leaders but with this arrangement there is now transparency.

HartIse:
So Nigeria can pay Ex-militants N65,000 but pay Nysc corp members who leave various forms of gainful employment to serve the fatherland in Lord knows where, N19,800? Ok.

Na Jona put us into that arrangement ohhhh.APC did not start it.How do you think Tompolo,Mujahid ,Gani Adams and all those militant leaders became billionaires in the last administration.Even though the influence of oil is dwindling let us commend PMB for sustaining the payment in a more transparent manner for peace to reign.But I agree with you it is sad when you look at the plight of corpers.

mikolo80:

XaintJoel20:

What are you saying? What did people vote them for? To continue where the last administration stopped or to CHANGE things? Put on your thinking cap and stop acting like someone that has been jazzed.

APC CHANGE! Why are they continuing with GEJ's legacies?

Change is still reflected in the mode of payment which is now transparent.

My thinking cap is on and devoid of emotions.Change cannot be abrupt when it comes to something as volatile as the militant issue.Baba is acting with wisdom.No need to open another front in the Niger Delta when the North East is not totally calm.So if a few billions can keep the militants in check no problem.That is wisdom,that is a non emotional thinking cap.That is not Gra Gra Change.And point of correction ,PMB has not continued where the last administration stopped,he has discontinued paying the militant leaders but pays their foot soldiers directly,NOW ,THAT IS CHANGE.

You see your life? They should have also changed the reflection of the mode of payment in the Sure-P programme and not scrap it, since they believe in continuing with GEJ's legacies.

ColeworldMD:
65,000 naira to 30,000 ex-militants amounts to 1,950,000,000 naira. That is 1.95 trillion naira. So the government actually believes she has no way of tackling of militants but resort to being taken as hostage? I still don't understand this. If these guys are that powerful, maybe we should pay them to help us decimate boko haram & bring back our girls once & for all. Is this really investigative journalism

65,000 naira to 30,000 ex-militants amounts to 1,950,000,000 naira. This is equal to 1.95 billion naira. Not trillion.

Na wash.

I can now see why people call APC supporters Zombies.

Definition of Zombie: A person who seems partly alive or conscious. Wake up!

Pidggin:

They say GEJ started it, but Nigerians voted APC to CHANGE things, not to continue with PDP's legacies. PDP had programmes for the youths e.g. Sure-P which has been scrapped. If they can scrap Sure-P which hardworking youths benefitted from, why did they not scrap the payment of militants?

Yar'adua started it not GEJ

Amein:

Yar'adua started it not GEJ

I said "They say"

I have heard,I am a zombie,now to the issues in my comment;that of another front being opened in the Niger Delta,transparency in disbursing militant funds etc.Can you please answer or counter them in an academic,logical,mature way as to convince me.Because how won't I remain a zombie when you cannot articulate your points to anti-zombie me in a sensible learned way to reflect someone that went to the four walls of atleast a primary school.If you continue ranting like this and defining zombie without any point I will just ignore you the way I am ignoring my neighbors dog who just caught rabies.

You are not forced to respond to me, so your threat to ignore me holds no water. That said, the promise of CHANGE by APC was all inclusive, it was a promise to use their own ideologies, programmes and policies to make things work. We saw this move when programmes like Youwin and Sure-P were scrapped, but where are their replacements? I have failed to see why payment of militants cannot also be scrapped with the coming of this new government, militants can be trained via skills acquisition, jobs can be created for them by the government especially in Agricultural sector, I can go on and on but I will not waste my time because I suspect you are a social media agent.

Thank you,this reply will challenge me intellectually now.Payment of militants cannot be scrapped suddenly,unlike those trained under SURE P,majority of the militants have been exposed to arms and some form of training and maybe indoctrination.And the OP mentioned that skills acquisition is part of the programme.Lol at social media agent.Yes I am a solo social media agent but not an Ekpa.

He has done very well...The Change is gradually setting in.
