Op I don't think it was necessary trying to tantalise us with how an effective society works in these dire times.
What's your point exactly? To mock us? Or to make is wish that we were never born rather than being born in Nigeria?

People think abroad is heaven... I laugh at their ignorance

Obviously he is living in one room shared apartment for paying €325 a month in Limerick.. And who lives on €32 a week if not a pauper.. When a cup of coffee and muffin at Starbucks go for over €5.. That can't even fill your tummy for breakfast.

Thinking about it though, 1400€ is only much if you're living alone and do not have kids or do families get more?

I wish Germany would do this as well.

No wonder they say Nigerians spend the highest amount of their income on food in the world.

It's really sad.

The average Nigerian spend up to 40% of his income on food.

Which way Nigeria?

400k per month just to sit down at home? That's some people's annual salary over here o. I don't know what I did in heaven that God punished me by sending me to Nigeria. sad
Just $400 you are crying like this. The US own is $1200 for father, another $1200 for mother while each of the kids in the household will collect $500. Now can you imagine how much a family of six will collect?

See country where things work. But here in Nigeria u no go see shishi. Mama Faruq will still increase #300 yellow rubber garri to #800. €350 per week for staying at home. Even when the rent per week is just €50 - €70 per week. When will Nigeria get better for God sake and this is ordinary Ireland o. It can't be ok for those morons defending this government for just 30k. I need to find a way out of this shithole.

Why do you people like misinforming Nigerians??

The €350 is for those earning between €38k-75k per annum (that is a minimum of €730 per week), whose jobs were affected by the lock down and cannot work from home.. Or business owners who were forced to close their businesses but still have to pay staff.

Surely, you are not getting this money...otherwise you'll be well informed. I live in Dublin and rent is €1000-1500 a month... That money is not even enough to pay mortgage... Stop spewing thrash and misinforming people.
Nigerian government is not doing enough but don't make it look like you are in paradise in Ireland either. No government in the world is father Christmas.

You my friend are the one misinforming people, OP stated that this an action taken to cussion effect on the lockdown, this is spending money - you dont have to pay mortgage from it, as the govt ensured that you are given mortgage holiday, Creche fees are being paid too. For high earners its peanut; then again most high earners should Ideally have savings to tide them over for 3months.

Shut up.

Every country in the world pays value added tax on telephony.

Apart from that evey working citizen pays a minimum of 20% in the advanced world.

Even if you did a week's work for 100 pounds you would pay the requisite 20 pounds thereabouts as tax.

I know you are not exposed, and your writing is very much reflective of this.

Local man had to go for shopping today. Had to restock my groceries. Social distancing is very well observed in all the supermarkets and shops as measures have been set in place to fight the virus. Some shops only allow one customer at a time to enter. I spent about 32 euro on my shopping today and hope the foodstuff will last me for a while.

oga sir, I am sorry to say,” you are no where”. Try harder. It is only an ungrateful MADMEN that haven’t realised that God is the one to turn to in a time like this. Not referring to you in particular

Well, each to his own. However, I cannot accept that your perception of reality is more valid than mine. Every previous mythology has been replaced, from Zeus, Jupiter, Olodumare, to Ra, all self confident and certain they were correct. It will be only a matter of time for Yahweh to be replaced by a more compelling myth... perhaps at the barrel of a gun or blade of cutlass. I could easily express my "I'm sorry" to you for your faith in a non-existent entity that allows people to die from the same viruses he created, but instead will agree to disagree:

It's hard for rational people to turn to someone they don't believe exists.
It's hard for the faithful to abandon indoctrination about someone they believe exists.

You seriously don't know what you are saying. I EMPHATICALLY SAID PEOPLE INCLUDING NIGERIAN STUDENTS AND PART-TIME WORKERS WERE PAID 350 EURO TODAY.... You can quote me anywhere. Many Nigerians received their alert today even those who were earning below 150- 200 euro before the crisis started. Students are allowed to work 20 hours a week during school session and 40 hours a week during holiday. Those who were affected by the crisis are being paid 350 euro per week, nothing less.

Your rent in Dublin may be expensive but I pay 325 euro a month in Limerick. It is my experience I shared not yours......

Please go and enlighten yourself by reading about the COVID19 unemployment funds.

No, I did not say the govt did not pay residents to cushion the effect of the jobs lost.. I also stated the band of people affected.. Other categories of workers are getting lower say €203 a week.

As I stated, those getting 350 a week will still have to pay their rents/mortgages, electricity & gas bills.. Only that it is deffered and no bank will pressure them to pay. Banks ain't no Santa. These people are actually losing money staying at home.. OP was making it look like they are making money staying home.

See an average rent in Limerick:

White people on a regular day stay indoors and avoid others. It's no wonder why the quarantine is successful with them. Here, being in other people's business is the way of life, we can not observe the quarantine properly. Most of our homes are not comfortable to begin with.

The payment for staying at home is a mouth watering concept, but our locale is not developed enough to put the same in place.
