emusbyz: So the my take is that you want the president to read "The Gospel of Wealth" Some of you need to humble yourselves and understand things properly |

Kingspin: 1. You are asking questions that are laced in total ignorance 2. you are asking question you can research yourself by reading up on the CCT I laugh when I see people tout better laws and good regulations as a panacea/magic wand. Laughable because you lot just sit your behinds in some countries and think the same template works everywhere |

mmsen:I disagree with your position. You do not need to wait for your "proper census" before this intervention can start. What you call proper census is probably 10yrs away, are you now going to wait that long before you introduce necessary social interventions? Do you wait to have "proper census" before you start intervention programs like immunization, family planning schemes, community development aids etc? What has been done is to adopt an ingenious approach to data collection, verify the same data collection approach with international standards as verified by world bank and commence intervention with such, while you improve on data collection with time |

seguno2:Qmerit: : You need to purge yourself of patent hatred and see the bright side of the intervention. So far the "almajiri beggars" access a relatively better lease of life, then we see a government meeting up to their promises. What I see here is either a total lack of understanding of (and ability to process) the programs. The CCT has conditions which are important. Few of which are 1. Parents will allow their children to be immunized 2. Parent will send their children to school Is that not a humane thing to do? |

....The funny thing is if these useless apc government manages to pay these 5k stipend,its actually 2k now from when the 5k promise was made before last year's elections because of the hyperinflation from last year to now caused by their incompetence. .....so if they are serious,they should increase the stipend from 5k to 15k or 20k cos what 5k could buy last year when the promise was made is what you need between 15 to 20k to buy as we speak ...But all in all,this apc government should move away from this socialist tendencies they have and put on their thinking caps for once..gosh! .. |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by darknetcom: 3:11pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
Ngokafor: tahh..even 5k is not enough monthly... this communism rubbish will not work.. we must create jobs... but this 5k thing is a start.... use the 5k to start something small for ya self.. not for drinking and parties.. |

greenpasture: Thank you sir, you've definitely update my knowledge on this |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mmsen: 3:17pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
mapet: If you want to help these people who claim to be in need of 5k then provide them with basic education - everything from literacy, to civics, to sexual health education. This is just a way for the same idiots who have been short changing these people to continue to do so. And what sense does it make to hand out a depreciating asset in the form of hard currency when this government has done such a woeful job of maintaining the value of the naira? Again, save this money and use it towards something more constructive than handouts. |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by darknetcom: 3:21pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
mapet: thanks bro.. by their way of thinking,you shall know them.. progressives dont run around defeated... they know its hard..and will not solve much... but this 5k thing is new...lets look how it comes out.. but the goverment should be careful to give it to those that are completly down but have ambitions enough to use the 5k in a useful way... |

efilefun:Blackteeth: : Essentially the scheme is not for beggars. The Lagos State government has for example discouraged people from giving beggars money, especially the "perpetual beggars". The Lagos state government estimated that an average street beggar goes home with nothing less than N3,500 a day........ |

Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mapet: 3:48pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
mmsen: 1. You still don't get it. Nobody claimed to need 5k. The government is giving the 5k as a safety net. In order words, the government is giving cash incentives to alleviate their conditions, while getting them to buy into government interventions in health (immunization) and education (school enrollment). How do you want to teach your suggested "basic education" when in the first place these people are "disincentivised" and "disempowered" to make it to schools or primary health centres. How do you want to give "basic education" when it makes "immediate sense" to some to send their children out to hawk on the streets rather than go to schools. How do you want to give "basic education" when some families has to go out each day to hustle for daily meal? 2. On the value of Naira, you lot are just looking at the wrong paradigm. To these people in question, the Naira/dollar exchange means squat. But if you sat down to understand the interconnection and basic economics, then you will see that the cash to be given to these people cannot be deemed "assets", rather they are stimulants to reflate the economy and get cash to move in the system. Who told you government "hoarding" the cash will automatically translate to improvement in exchange rate? If government cannot not increase the spending power of people at this critical times, how do you want to help commerce? |

musicwriter: Pls quit the arrogant postures laced with ignorance. Yes on one hand, the World bank keeps data, but many states also keep some form of data. Many people just speak in ignorance. States do keep many forms of data, especially their partnership and work with donor agencies,NGOs and international bodies requires they do so. Meanwhile did the report say they used World bank data? |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mapet: 3:54pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
DejiDaGreat: You manufacture a needless question hence you provide unnecessary answers....and ignorantly so. 1. The 2016 budget cycle ends in March 2. The budget system currently in place requires that unspent funds gets returned to FG coffers But what is more important to you? The program or what budget? |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mapet: 3:56pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
SleekyPosh: Bros, Weep for yourself.....especially the fact that you are probably a graduate, yet cannot comprehend beyond a baseline |

Boydehot: Where did the FG tell you monies will be "distributed to all account holders" or all Nigerians |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mmsen: 3:59pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
mapet: Where did I even suggest that government should hoard anything? The money should be used for capital expenditure. This is no better than the policy of creating more government jobs and wasteful, inefficient recurrent expenditure. Why is the federal government having to involve itself (again) in the basics of primary education, primary healthcare and immunization? What are certain states/local governments doing with the budgets that they receive for nothing? You speak as someone who has some insight into this project - do you have a list as to the requirements that makes one eligible for this scheme? How did/does the government decide who the 1 million most impoverished/deserving are? |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mapet: 4:00pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
asuustrike2009: The money is not a salary neither will it be in perpertuity |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mapet: 4:09pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
mmsen: .....and capital expenditure of what exactly? Is capital not currently being addressed or has this government not increased the votes on capital spending more than their predecessors? |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mmsen: 4:10pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
mapet: They have? Can you show me evidence of said expenditure? Have you actually looked at the budget? And why did you duck my question on criteria? How are they identifying the qualifying parties? |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mapet: 4:11pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
Qmerit: Sorry Bro that it came out the wrong way. I only wanted to keep you in the loop, I am actually addressing the ignorant fellow |
Re: Nigerian Government Starts Paying N5,000 Every Month To Poorest Citizens by mapet: 4:15pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
mrpackager: There was not time they ever denied it. What they refuted was the confusion that antagonists and opposition put in. Many people did not understand how the intervention worked. I remember a PDP senator, less than 3months into the regime, stood up in the senate and requested that the senate to mandate PMB to pay Nigerian 5k, "promised". That was part of the confusion and done in bad faith |
