I am sure some people are feeling sad for this news already


And as usual , i am not wrong , Initially they said APC/Buhari scammed them , that the Gov't lied about 5k that it would never pay

Now that APC is going to pay , some people are saying it should stop because it can't be sustained

Some are saying what will 5k do in their lives ??

Some even said they prefer internet to 5K


Why are you people always talking with the 4 sides of your one mouth ??


Wailers will be wailers

Poverty scheme that is tantamount to trying to empty the ocean with a basket.

Only poverty stricken osunites will be happy.

Nonsense

Martins301:
In 2016 Bros affordable internet is a need. Give me 24hours light and free internet and I won't depend on any meagre 5k from government or one slave job somewhere

Sanchez01:

You think dishing such meagre sum would help alleviate poverty? No. It would only produce more miscreants who would be overly dependent on the FG. The money should be diverted into more meaningful things. It's not even close to how much some of us spend on airtime monthly.

cleatoris:

My thoughts exactly!
Creation of dependency on the government is a dangerous means to political ends. Not for the long term interest of the people or the state. It is a wasteful instrument of control, endearment and clientelism.

Nothing is ever good enough for people like you
Your matter nor surprise me

And the poorest states in Nigeria shld be in the north same as the poorest communities, who is he helping?, his beggar brothers.

Build infrastructures now is not in place yet.

Sanchez01:

Let him help his "beggar brothers", be grateful to God you have more than them and you have more than enough to spare. Quite frankly, you didn't read the thread because the move is not directly from the FG.

Sanchez01:
I voted PMB, not because of the N5,000 but because I felt we needed to give him a try. I honestly knew from day one that the N5,000 feat is not realistic. To be honest, the sum is small for an unemployed graduate to live on.

We would use it for transport to Dragnet/Workforce exam centres .

I believe this is where a majority of our economic problems as a nation lies - just following advice, instead of brainstorming on our own and what is best for us in our own peculiar situation. While my current position is let's even wait and see whether they'll even give the money in the first place, I'm actually of the opinion that it is much better to provide free (or heavily subsidized) healthcare, education, agricultural incentives, etc to these particular poor communities that they have targeted with the help of the World Bank.
We're not arguing that they don't need the money but putting aside the impracticality of the project itself, why start something that is most likely to be kicked out should another government come in in about 3yrs time?

herbie27:
The move is from the FG, the world bank only helped in identifying the poor and needy by their standards of classification.

Where do u think that money will come from, another loan.

Firefire:
Congrats!

You're right my brother, but this is actually Nigeria. Our people do not understand what they really need from government. They prefer to wake up everyday begging for fish rather than learning how to fish themselves. Imagine a beggar making almost between N3,000 to N5,000 daily and still go about every other day begging when someone in the office is not making up to that amount. There is something wrong with our people's mentality and the politicians are taking that advantage. Do you blame them? When a politician embarks on legacy projects that will benefit them and their generations to come, what you hear them say is "who sent him?" But when he gives them stipend, he is the best politician ever. So it is the mentality of our people that is responsible for the way they're being treated. It's just pathetic and we have to manage it like that for now.

Sanchez01:

Good that you know the source. This is the reason I said we don't need to run into trouble for a meagre 5,000 Naira.

Jesusloveyou:
thank God for ur life, the spirit of change has enter you God bless pmb

thesicilian:


True, bro, true. We have to manage it like that for now.
Your reference to the begged reminds me of a story that broke out few months ago about a particular better that was making over N300,000 per month begging for alms for treatment at Luth. It made my eyes pop out in shock, as in, you mean you made over 300k in a single month, and you found it necessary to go back to the streets to beg the next month? Talk about the poverty mentality!

Sanchez01:

Internet is a need. AFFORDABLE? Well, that's debatable.

Good ideas and good programmes . Lets see if Nigerian politicians will allow them to work out
